special dates OF the order, Tamman y
day They being purely Americans

many Day, which usually falls on May
18th, and the Fourth of July. Tammany
day is the one on which they pay tri-
butte to their patron chief, Iammany.
whom legend and tradition credits
with having been noble type of
humanity, and who inculcated into the
minds of the American aborigines
principles of freedom, friendship and
| charity, the fundamental principals of
the order of Red Men.
The celebration that evening was
opened with the rendering of march
by Prof. Birgfeld, while the chiefs,
prophets and warriors of the tribe.
clad in their lodge regalia, filed into
the wigwam, and after circiing the
hall a unmber OF times were seated ia
th cir proper stations at the command
of a. I'D Keller, chief of ceremonies.
4 number OF instrumental selections
were rendered by Prof. Birgfeld and
Miss Newman, and sever i songs

Michel delivered an impressive and

Mr.. Michel traced the order back to
its origin during revolution times.
when il was known as the Tarlnany
Society, aud up to 1893, when IL was
conYerted into political organization,
and then the braves drew away from
the mother organization and created |
the Improved Order of Red Men, |
which has continued to prosper and |
today has on its roster the names of |
150. $50 members. After Mr.. Michell's |
lecture, the musical programme was
rendered, consisting of songs by the
singing society of Gesang Verein Har-
monte, instrumental pieces by Prof.
and Miss Newman and solo
by Mr.. John Hartnett. Then came

THE PORTLAND WAY.
Trancients are Offered Free Board Until
After Election IL They Will Vote
Right.

Right.
The reputation of Portland for being
the most corrupt city in the United
States politically Is, we regret to say,
merited, and from present appearances
there is little hope of the reputation
being changed this year at least A
gentlemen who spent few days in the
metropolis recently says he had an ex-
cellent opportunity of learning some
of the inside workings of corruption
practiced there, and was thoroughly
disgusted with the methods adopted
by the ward strikers and henchmen of
the bosses.
He is a Iaboring man, and when he
visited the city, wore his working
clothes, aud was no doubt spotted by
the strikers as being out ofa job. One
of them accosted him and inquired
how long he was going to stay in
Portland. He replied he did not know,
whereupon the striker thought he had
found victim and began revealingtnis
business. The gentleman from The
Dalles was informed that if he would
stay in Portland until after the election
and would vote as the striker dictated
he would be supplied with lodgings
and two meals day until June I'd.
This proposition rather aroused the
curiosity of our Dalles man, and he pro-
posed to accompany the striker to the
boarding house where he was to be
fed and learn what was to be required
of him. All that was necessary to Sc
cure the free board, he learned, was to
agree to vote a. told. He learned
that there were several hundred non-
residents who were taking advantage
of this free board offer, and would
vote at the coming election, and their
residence will be atLested to by the
strikers if their votes are challenged.
Thus the election in Multnomah
county will likely be decided by lot
of nonresident, perjured Williams.

A Good word For the Regulator.

Mr.. Daniel O'Conner, one of the
most extensive sheepraisers of Klicki-
tat county, is in the city today purch-
asing supplies for shearing. sacks,
twine, etc. Last season Mr.. O'Conner
sheared his fiocks at point across the
Columbia from Grants, the railroad
company paying the cost of ferryage;
but he has learned that he can do even
better by driving his sheep 10 some
point near The Oalles before shearing
in order that he can bring his wool
here and take advantage of the low
transportation rates made by the D..
P. & A. N. Co. Even if he could get
similar rates on the railroad, he feels
