THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY. JUNE 6, 1910. 9 ALL WORLD SENDS FESTIVAL CROWDS Every Section of Country Will Have Delegates in Fes tival Throngs. BIG SHOW IS FAMED AFAR Many People Travel Thousands ot Miles to Participate in Gorgeous Fete, Which Is Growing in Popularity Every Year. AfTOMORILE OWNERS ASKED XO , AID IN DEUTER1NR ROSES TO DESTINATION. President Drake, ot the Portland Ke Society, asks automobile own ers running into the city early Tues day morning to follow the car tracks and to pick up the boxes of roses left at Intersections. lie will be grateful if the automo bile men will convey the flowers to the Armory, so that they arrive there before 10 A. M. Tuesday. Mrs. R. H. Blrdsall. chairman of the decorating; committee, wants all the long-stemmed pink roses, to be used for decorating, to besent to the Armory before 8 A- M. Tuesday. These pink roses will be used for hanging 'baskets, and to complete the decorative scheme must be In the hands of the women workers early. A-4 pressed about the Rose Festival is shared by Howard Sebree, of the old banking and commercial firm of Se bree. Ferris & White, of Idaho and Montana, who is a guest at the Port land Hotel. "I am on my way from my Winter home in Pasadena to Alaska," said Mr. Sebree last night, "but I shall stop in Portland for the Rose Festival. I must BO to Seattle tonight but shall return Tuesday and hope to spend the week here. The Portland rose show is well advertised in California and it will catch a great many who live In that state in the Winter and are now getting back home and to their business. Portland is well known over in Idaho and Mon tana. "The merchants have confidence in Portland because there is no chicanery practiced here; ita business men can be depended upon, and for that reason, the rose show attracts more attention be cause the people know it is what it Is represented to be. A great many busi ness men in Idaho and Montana will no doubt combine pleasure with their busi ness trip to Portland and bring tueir families along. ' What makes Portland a prosperous city is its solid, substantial basis, and it has a great future. The Rose Festival helps and gives visitors a favorable impression of the city." Rose Carnival Bvxriting; in Official Rain-Proof Colors Flags and Festoons for Decorating Official Carnival Parasols, 25c All Kinds of Pennants Crepe Paper Festoons, Etc., Etc FESTIVAL'S RULER TO COME ( Continued From First Page.) From all parts of the United States the Rose Festival has attracted visitors to Portland- Mingled with guests at the hotels who represent industrial, commercial and agricultural Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, class ified as "local," are visitors from the Atlantic Coasf States, the Gulf of Mexico, the broad. Mississippi Valley, the Inter-Mountain and Southern Pa cific States. Canada has also sent its quota of visitors and not a few tour ists from Europe, attracted by reports of what the Rose Festival has been and what it will be this year, diverted their itineraries to visit Portland this week. Colonists from the East and Middle States who came West, seeking homes and financial Investments, either came direct to Portland and are waiting in the city till after the Rose Festival, or arranged their stopovers so that they, would have a chance to view the country and get here in time for the great annual show they have heard so mulh about. To business men and farmers looking for a new field, desir ing to branch out or change their lo cation to a country where prospects are brighter, the Rose Festival has betn a Mecca, and they have assembled In I Portland to witness the gorgeous display that has become an institution on the Pacific Coast, and second to note in street pageantry in the world. Easterners Like Feature. pynai appeals to easterners is me featuring of the rose, typical of art, culture, beauty, commerce and in dustry. The setting aside of a whole week in the busy season of the year aipeals to their commercial sense, and tley marvel at the prosperity of a country that can not only produce but rifford such a great show. JAmong those who came to Portland from the East for the exclusive purpose a attending Jhe Rose Festival is Clarence Mason, of Chicago, who is stop ping at the Nortonia Hotel. Mr. Mason as attended so many similar affairs and (treet carnivals that they have become t hobby with him, and he made the long Irlp, half way across the continent, to be In Portland this week. I "The reputation of the Portland Rose Festival has spread to all parts of the united States," said Mr. Mason. "I have heard much about it but regarded many of the reports with considerable skeptic ism. Now 1 realize they have not been lexaggerated. On the contrary, it appears I that half wae not told. Of course, 1 i know all about the enterprise and tre- mendous energy that has placed the Pa cific Coast on the map of commercialism I and industry, but I did not think the hustling business man of the West could iiiiu- tune lu jul un tins great-' liorai show. Other Shows Eclipsed. "I have seen the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the January flower show in Pasadena and other street shows, but your Rose Festival promises to eclipse them all. It gives the West a new status in the East. "The parking strips, the beautiful homes, the labyrinths and mountains of roses on every hand and, finally, the massing of Nature's beauties in a series of grand parades, speaks vol umes to those who incline to the opinion that man is degenerating into a sordid, money-getting piece of machinery. The show reflects the finer tastes of the people of Portland, it brings out all that is good In man. "I am more than pleased that I made the long Journey to attend the Rose Festival, although it has not begun. A trip about the city convinces me that I shall be well repaid, and I predict that the Portland rose show is des tined to be one of the great annual attractions of the United States." Festival Too Good to Miss. "Mrs. Harris and 1 came here to at tend the Rose Festival." said Art Har ris, the veteran hotel man of Walla Walla, who is stopping at the Oregon. . "We have attended all the rose shows in Portland and do not propose to miss any In the future It we can help it. The festival has, been well advertised In Eastern Washington, and there will be a large attendance from that sec tion of my state, Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Colonists who have been pouring' Into our part of the country are also attracted by the show, and great number of them will be in Port land this week. The traveling men have been talking about It for weeks, and they are good advertisers. I sim- ply couldn't stay away." Similar expressions are voiced by others at the hotels, and they all say that the "crowd" has not yet arrived. "Eastern Oregon will be practically deserted. declared R. D. Cooper, pioneer merchant of Oregon, who is now located at Grass Valley, and is registered at the Imperial. "The Rose Festival is held at the most opportune time of the year for the farmers in Eastern Oregon. cropj are Just at that period where they may be left for a week or so, and the farmers have rhance to get away irom home. Grass Valley is an old-settled section, every body has money and they are coming to the rose show. Railroad building and the Influx of Easterners has given . things a great impetus, but everybody Is laying business aside to be in Port land this week. The show is a great drawing card. The view that is unanimously ex- taken to the royal apartments at the Lewis and Clark Fairgrounds. Day by day His Majesty will mingle incognito with the crowds, as is the fashion of monarch ever, and will remain in strict official retirement until the time of the first electrical parade, Thurs day, arranged in his honor. From that time he will live in a blaze of light. Seattle Supports Festival. Unlike other years, Seattle is giving whole-souled support to the Rose Fes tival. One of the leading stores,- the Bon Marche, has a banner stretched across its front with the suggestion, "Visit Portland Rose Festival. Special excursion rates June 6-11." Secretary Yandell, of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, estimates that 80 per cent of the Seattleites will see this banner and that no mean per centage of them will take a day or two off and run over to Portland. Owing to the absence of its officers, who will be in Portland, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will postpone its weekly meeting from Tuesday after noon t5 a later date. The transition of Portland from a prosaic business city to a fairyland takes place tonight. All yesterday the anticipations of the visitors, crowding the streets, were whetted to a keen point by the sight of the waving flags and bedecked buildings; tonight those anticipations will be more than real ized. On Seventh and Sixth streets Chinese lanterns in hundreds, monster rose buds, shielding scores of electric lights; the illuminations and electric devices on dozens of lofty office buildings all these will make a transformation that must be seen to be even imagined. Battle to Be Fought Again. On the Willamette River the old battle of the Monitor and Merrimac will be fought again. The mimic war ships will fight their duel on the ex panse of river opposite the Oaks boulevard. Shells again will shriek and pyrotechnic explosions tell the story of death and destruction. But after all, Monday is but a prep aration for the bigger days of the Fes tival. In reality, it is hardly considered a part o"f the scheme of things. With visitors arriving and settling into place, it would be an unfitting occasion for too great amusements. But on Tues day the entertainment will start early in the morning and last till late at night. A battle of roses, the sight of pretty girls driving rapidly through the city streets with their queen, pelting the passers-by with roses in abundance; the gathering of thousands under the Armory roof viewing a collection of prize blooms such as could hardly be seen anywhere else; the massed union bands of the city and the parade of the "Spirit of the Golden West" will form a day that can hardly be bettered for continuous amusements. Roses by Thousands Needed. Many thousand roses are wanted to morrow for the purpose of decorating the Armory. East Siders may place them on the cars if instructions are given to the conductors to convey the blooms to the West Side. From the West Side they will be conveyed by automobile and wagon to the Armory. weanesaay morning as many more roses will be wanted for the decora tion of the automobiles for the auto mobile parade. These may be sent bv the streetcars up to 10 A. M., but after that time they must be taken by the growers. Roses are wanted daily bv the Pe ninsula Rose Association for its daily display at the depot. If placed on cars every morning before 8 A. M. and the conductor instructed to place them off at an Intersecting point with the Peninsula dally rose train, he will do so. It has been requested by Rex Ore gonus, and from now on every resi dent of Portland owes deference to his requests, that all residents and visitors wear rosebuds. Strangers may obtain tnem free at the depot. Wednesday will see the close of the rose snow ana the automobile parade, On Thursday there will be the horse and carriage parade and the first elec trie parade. rlday is devoted to the children's parade and Saturday to the closing pertormance of the Society Cir cus and the final electric parade, "The Dream or Rex Oregonus. A delegation of 30 business men. rep resenting the Chamber of Commerce of usnkosn, wis., arrived in Portland at 8:45 o'clock last night on the special car Eidelweis, by way of the North Bank road. They were met by a delegation rrom the Commercial Club and shown over the city last night. Another com mittee will show them over other por tions of the city today.. They leave for oattle over the Northern Pacific Tues day. M'MINNVILLE SHOWS ROSES Successful Festival Ends With Base ball Spelling Match. M'MINNVILLE. Or.. June 5 (Spe cial. ) Roses, arranged In handsomely decorated booths, in the large auditor ium at the City Park Saturday, greeted the throng of visitors to McMinnville's first annual Rose Festival, which was given by the Ladies' Civic Improvement Club. Flowers in great profusion, from the lowliest to the rarest speci men, mingled their fragrance. M. O. Lownsdale, of Lafayette, member of the State Board of Horticulture, Judged the exhibit. Several prizes were given for the various competitive displays. A fitting finale of the day was a baseball spelling match, conducted strictly according to the rules of base ball, nine ladles of the Civic Improve ment Club being arrayed against a nine composed of men from the Commercial Club. This contest created much mer riment, and after repeated stormy bouts with the umpire, the last inning was finished at a late hour. The Commer cials were with one or two exceptions former newspaper editors, nevertheless the civics ran them a close race in the final tally. Welcome RexOregonus And All Visitors Don't leave the city until you have seen our beautiful new White Store, which will be ready for oceupancy in July. It covers the entire block at Morrison, Al der, Tenth and West Park streets. 2d Momth OF fflC OUR Q 1,000,000 Removal Sale 3d White D 99 aie Today's Specials Condensed for Busy People to Read Over Their Morn's Coffee 50c Embroideries for White Sale at only, yard 17$ 65c Ribbons, special for White Sale at only 39 40c Ribbons, special for White Sale at only 22$ 75c Trimmings and Laces reduced this sale to 27$ $1.00 dozen Valenciennes Laces at only, dozen 48$ $1.50 dozen Valenciennes Laces at only, dozen 9? $1.00 Parisian Veilings reduced for this sale to 48$ $2.50 Automobile Veils placed on sale at only $1.48 Women's 75c Underwear, for White Sale only 39 Children's $4.00 Coats reduced this sale to $1.98 Children's $6.00 Coats reduced this sale to $2.98 Children's $8.00 Coats reduced, this sale to $3.9S $10.00 Ostrich Plumes placed on sale at only $5.95 Women's 75c Neckwear for White Sale at only 39 25c Fancy Neckwear reduced for this sale to 1Q Women's $1.00 Belts reduced this sale to only 48$ $2.50 Mikado Parasols on sale for White Days 98$ Women's $45.00 Suits for White Days sale $17.65 $25.00 Tailored Suits for White Days sale at $9.85 $15.00 Linen and Crash Suits reduced to only $7.95 $30.00 Trimmed Hats on sale at only, each $10.98 French Lingerie for White Days ONE-THIRD OFF Italian Silk Vests for this sale ONE-FOURTH OFF Women's $5.00 Drawers reduced this sale to $2.79 $2.50 White Petticoats for White Days sale $1.39 Child's 75c Rompers reduced this sale to only 3&$; 60c Baby Slippers reduced for this sale, per pair 39' $4.50 Soiled Dresses for White Days sale at only 98$ $2.75 Gingham Dresses for White Days sale 98 Children's $7.75 Dresses reduced this sale to $3.98 700Trim'd Hats Given Away Fre e An extraordinary offer for today.
