! 1t was pointed out in the meeting
last night that the ovation from the
children would be an entirely nom
J partisan move, and only be done to
I confer on the executive the proper
attention due to his office and to
give the children an opportunity to
see the acting governor of their state.
The manner In most easily get
, ting the executive to the review was
discussed at length, and Harry Con-
| ards suggestion that the governor be
taken from 1925 a. m. train to c'q
hall park and there shown the daIa
any maps which the local Harbor
Board desire him to see so that he
would be ready for the review of the
school children at II AS, was agreed
upon.
! The executive is expected to arrive
here about one-half hour soOgeT than
originally thought Ills is due at the
Central railroad station at 1925 a.
m, when he will be met with auto
mobiles and conveyed to city hall,
where the local maritime board will
explain the water front situation to
him, and provide him and the other
members of the state board with
maps and data concerning the street
ends. After IL o'clock they will allow
a delegation from the Board of Trade
to escort the executive to City Hall
Park, where the school children will
have assembled. After the review
the acting governor and party will
be accompanied to the Packer house,
where a light lunch will be served,
terminating at 1:15. An inspection
OF the street ends by land will then
take place, lasting until 3:15, when
the terminus of the streets viii be
viewed from two large power boats,
the trip beginning at the foot If
Lewis street. This vancouver is ex-
pected to consume the time until
about 8 o'clock, when the executive
Will be given reception at the
Packer house by the Board of Trade.

| Board and the Board of Trade, to
