GONG JUE TEMPLE
GREAT ATTRACTION
SHRINERS WILL FLOCK TO
= CHINATOWN
Orientas Make Great Preparations
for Fiesta Days, When They
Expect to Greet All
Their Friends

In the great hustle and hurry and ex-
citement of preparing for the great
Fiesta. probably no other race in Los
Angeles has taken a greater interest
and pride in helping things out than
the Chinese, and when the Shriners ar
rive Chinatown will be ready to receive
them and all their friends at the great
Gong Jue temple in Ferguson alley.
The Chinese are never affected by the
cleanup habit. Such habit would be
a sacrilege to them. A Chinatown with
out dirt and grease and funny smells
and peculiar freaks would not be a
Chinatown. 1t would not be typical,
and therefore the Chinese will nave
nothing to do with the cleanup habit.
But whether dirty or not, they can
make things as picturesque as possible,
and this they have done.
The Gong Jue temple in Chinatown
has for it's chief members some Of the
best known Chinese Masons on the
coast. The Masonic order among the
Chinese dates back many years before
the order was established among the
white men, and therefore the Chlnese
feel that they should help in the well
come of the Shriners.
The temple is one of the first spots
of interest in Chinatown. 1t is in Fer
kuSOH alley, just Oil lAOo &AISOiCo oSiOCbt
and is well protected by heavy iron
gates leading into the court yard.
Wonder Spot for fasteners
The big lanterns at the temple en-
trance will be lighted for the Fiesta
week. A priest in full garb will be in
attendance at the temple, and the beau
tiful altar, filled and covered with gold
thread and magnificent embroidery,
will be a thing of beauty and wonder
to those easternerS who have never be-
fore beheld the mysteries of celestial
place of worship.
On North Los Angeles street are the
curio stores with their display of goods
that cannot be duplicated anywhere
else in America. The terrible Hop Sing
tong is also located on Los Angeles
street, and. although the teeth of the
organization were drawn three years
ago, it and it's members still frown
gloomily on the advance of progress
among the yellow men. On Alameda
street are the shops and restaurants;
on Marchessault street. more restau-
rants serving special menus for the
visitors, and they are the best shops
of the town. On Apablasa street, the
long line of gambling houses, the wom-
ems quarters, the great Bow Wong Wui
hall, with it's dragon, 300 feet long, and
it's old Chinese trophies, the opium
dens and the Masonic temple of the
Chinese will offer attraction, while on
the street the picturesque fortune tel
lers, the rice and sugar cane peddlers
and all the merchants and tradesmen of
the yellow settlement will be arrayed
in their best to receive their visitors.
Chinatown has decided to give the
Shriners a run for their money, and
the guides will be busy in the district
during the coming week.

HOTELS BEDECKED
WITH GREENERY
Graceful Palms and Wild Flowers
Suggestive of CaIifornia-lnterior
Decorations Elaborate at
Largest Hostelries

In the Los Angeles hotels around
which the Shriner festivities will CEN
ter, great preparation has been made
for the coming Of the visitors and the
decorative genius Of the managers was
called into play.
A large amount of money is being
spent for decorative purposes and great
quantities of flowers will be used.
Especially attractive and suggestive
of California is the arrangement at the
Hollenbeck hotel. Manager Mitchell
has made an effort to use only Cali
fornia flowers and greenery.
He sent to the Santa Cruz mountains
for carload of redwood and to Mon
terey for cyprus. This green, COM
bined with great branches of beauti-
full leaves from the loquat tree, mag
nolia leaves and palms of various
kinds, forms a beautiful cool back
ground and to these will be added each
day during the week many beautiful
flowers. Gala lilies, wild mustard and
wild daisies will be arranged in hang
ing baskets and wall vases and large
post at the foot of the stairway will
be decorated to represent a giant cac-
tus. The Arizona Shriners will have
their headquarters at the Hollenbeck
and from the lobby to the committee
room on the second floor the passage
will be marked with emblematic ban
ners.
An Arizona gateway, composed of
cactus, has been erected at the head of
the stairs leading to the committee
room and two large twenty-foot square
pictures will be put up on the outside
of the building. These are Arizona
studies and Mr.. Mitchell says they have
been in the hands of the artist for
month. A sixty-foot banner of El
Kalah temple, Salt Lake, is entwined
in the greenery on the outside of the
building and there also are the ban
ners of Ballut Abyad temple of New
Mexico. The house will be the head
quarters for 200 delegates from Ari-
zona, IT'S from New Mexico, 100 from
Salt Lake and about 100 California
Shriners.
Lankershm Bower of Beauty
Mrs. e. Davis is in charge of the
decorations for the Lankershim hotel
and it is safe to predict that when her
corps of assistants have finished their
work there will not be more attrac-
tive place in Los Angeles than the big
lobby of the hotel.
Mrs. Davis sent to San Francisco for
a carload of huckleberry foliage ana

WHY NOT
Reasons for Disbelief In.
 White Pass Sale

Many things are pointed to by those who are close enough to the White Pass management to make figuring better than guess work to justify them in their uubelief in the persistentiy reported sale of the railroad company's northern interests. Not the least of them is that while sll this talk is going on, s. Il. Graves, president of the company and one of it's hesyiest stock holders, is out of communication with the world. He is buried far ID the in terior of Egypt, where he has been for weeks apparently far more interested iu the Pyramids, the SphynN and the stamping ground of the human race during the days of it's earliest history, than be IS in the GuggenheimS or any other matter of business,
 It is urged, with better claims than mere plausibility it must be admitted, that, were there negotiations pending for the sale of a property in which he is so greatly interested, MT. Graves wouli be taking some part in the trad ing.
 It is further pointed out that the managers of the road on the Pacific Coast have heard nothing of sale or Of pending negotiations for sale.

SEYMOURSUCCUMBS

CANCER
Former Well Known Resident

Saturday Night
FUNERAL HERE TUESDAY
Elks Lodge Have Charge of
Arrangements-Had Been
Ill for Past Year.

B. o. Seymour, for sixteen years a
resident Of Grand Forks, died Satur-
day night at his home in Mime
apolis, 14O9 West Thirty-first street
following an illness of about a years
duration. Cancer in the face was the
cause Of death, and during the last
few months of his life, he suffered al
most constant pain. Advices of Mr..
Seymour's death were received here
Sunday through the Elks lodge of
Minneapolis.
Although it has been expected for
some time, the announcement of the
death of Mr.. Seymour Game as a
shock, as it was understood that he
had been much better of late. In
Grand Forks he was very we'll known,
having circle of friends as large
as his acquaintance extended.
Two years ago, Mr.. Seymour re-
moved to Minneapolis making that city
his headquarters while travelling for
the Peters Cartridge company. About
a year ago, he cancerous growth set
in, and though every doctor of any
repute in the twin cities was called
in in the case, nothing. could be done
to stop the spread of the disease.
During his many years as a resi-
dent of Grand Forks, he was ever a
loyal citizen, boosting for the city and
doing every thing he could to for
ward its interests. He was publisher
of the Weekly Courier for some little
time, having charge of that paper
while it was published in East Grand
Forks.
He was married about fifteen years
ago to Miss Roberts, and four children
have resulted from the union. The
eldest of these is - years. Besides
his wife and children, he leaves sew
eral sisters and brothers. Mrs. Harry
Walker of Larimore and Mrs. Reed Of
Devils Lake are his sisters, and Lee
Seymour of Minneapolis, is brother
His mother lives at Larimore with
her daughter, Mrs. Walker.
The remains will be shipped to
Grand Forks for interment, arrange
ments having been made to have them
sent from Minneapolis to reach the
city Tuesday morning. The funeral
services will be held Tuesday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock in the Elks hall,
and the following will be the pail
bearers: F. H. Eisenhart, F. w.
Schlaberg, Hans Anderson, A. s. Din
ME, William Lowe and Joseph Hager.
The deceased was a member of the
Elks lodge and the Workmen lodge,
having a $4,000 insurance policy in
the latter order.
