COL. ROOSEVELT
SEES PORTLAND
Former DsIawarean Is Con-
graduated on Elaborate
Reception Plans

Many persons in this city have re-
ceiyed novel menu cards from the
Commercial Club. of Portland, Ore,
of which William ]. Holman, for
merly of this city, is secretary. Upon
the occasion of the visit Of former
President Theodore Roosevelt to
Portland on April the Commercial
Club gave a banquet at which Presi-
dent Harvey Beckwith was toast
master.
The African jungle plan of the ban
quet was the idea Of Mr.. Holman,
who is business manager of The Ore
gonian. He had charge of that part
of the entertainment and planned the
entire arrangement. When the jun
gle idea was presented to the execu-
tive committe IL was approved i'm
mediately. Then Mr.. Holman call
ed together William Grabach, the
scenic artist; Fred Larson, Of Umb-
denstock & Larson, as stunt master"
w. T. Buchanan, of the staff OF The
Oregonian; Professor Wilder, who
had charge of the Sulu vocalists, and
Professor Prasp, musician, whose or
chestra, I'm native costume, played the
jungle music.
A unique feature of the banquet
was the menu card. The cover was
an engraving, In colors, Of a jungle.
In the center was a tent with the
flo dU -
them a picture was presented of Col
onel Roosevelt pounding at a type
writer and the words printed 81 a
word" On the second page was this
sentiment printed.
THAT he may not forget us this
dinner given in the Jungle of Port
land, Oregon, where the sun shines
with unremitting splendor and the
enhancing pink OF its orchards rivals
only it's eternal snow-tipped peaks in
their wondrous beauty. Not that one
so great would forget land so dear,
but in this world of travel a memory
is oft dimmed by the heeting pano-
rama Of the sweet smiles Of Mother
Earth. So we say, lest this mighty
hunter should I'll his mind with the
effervescence OF the present, and lest
this fair land becomes only a subdued
light within the memories OF bygone
days we give this feast to recall and
encourage a lasting thought OF those
who followed the Oregon Trail to
perpetuate American institutions and
American freedom upon the rugged
banks Of the Columbia as it rolls on
its unending course toward the nigh
ty Pacific"
When the Colonel picked up his
menu card and read the sentiment
after having gone through the exper-
ience of walking into the jungle, he
remarked: You people of Portland
win my heart. This sentiment is
beautiful, this dinner is delightful and
II is all so marvellous" He gave his
special thanks to Mr.. Hofmann and
could not resist giving a thorough
Rooseyeltian expression to the direc-
TOR by saying, 1T is simply marvel
GUS Mr. Hofmann, marvellous. mar
yelous, and l am immensely pleased.
