The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1920-06-24

Kansas City Shriners are fully the
equal, in noisemaking, of Texans, who
aroused Oakland, Calf, with a fire
siren. When the special train carving
the Ararat caravan rolled in here Mon
day morning at $50 somebody opened
a single stop Of caliope that sounded
something like the Hood River electric
fire siren. Members of the fire depart
ment were on their toes in few Sec
onds. Then they became mystifed,
when the tune changed. Heads popped
out of downtown hotel windows, and
residents of all lower city residence
districts came forth in slumber robes.
"Oh. it's the Shriners" was the cry,
and everybody smiled.
The caliope stopped and Ararat's s
jazz band eme ged from the train and
gave a serenade. Before the train was
ready to leave a motley thfong crowd
ed the station platform. Men wore
pants over pajamas, and their bedroom
slippers. few donned dressing gowns.

plants of the Apple Growers Associa-
tion. and Ararat Mobiles left happy
