BABE SAVED FROM CAR DEATH Child Playing In Street Mother Re sents Rebuke From Officer. The crowds were surging back and forth at Seventh and Washington streets at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, when suddenly a 7-year-old girl who had been romping about in the middle of the street with her sister, stepped directly in front of an eastbound streetcar. The motorman Instantly applied the alrbrak. but it seemed as though the car must pass over the child. Joe Marks, who was standing near talking to Deputy Sheriff Harry Bulger, grabbed the little girl s dress, and pulled her ofT the track just as the car brushed her skirts. Trembling like a leaf at the thought of what her fate would have been had he not happened to have seen her in time.

The next float, urhich"' brought forth Incessant applause from " the crowds, was that of the-Manufacturers'- Asso ciation of the Northwest. The big sign, "Made in Oregon," appealed to the spectators, and their shouts and cheers were acknowledged by Mrs. W. F. Hubbard, the beautiful wife of Dr. W. K. Hubbard, of Irvington, who bowed and smiled to the enthusiastic multitude. On : the front of the float was a gigantic anvil, beside which Btood two sturdy blacksmiths. The float representing the . lumber manufacturing industries of Oregon was a bower of roses on arbor and trellis and was mounted by six young women. The stork,- carrying out the Roose velt idea, aroused a din of laughter and applause. "Leave orders here" read a sign over a letter dox, wnicn was in charge of a beautiful young lady. Behind the letter box- stood a gigantic stork, facing five babies rep resenting as many different nations, and . puzzled which to take. Over the five babies was tne sign - stone t Company," Jobbers," and underneath were two cradles. Scatered about the base of the float were letters, repre senting numerous orders.

Church Brigade Is Cheered.. The church brigade fcom Laurel wood, made up of a company of girls In white dresses and a company of boys In uniform with guns, was lustily cheered as It maneuvered in the crowded streets. Fololwlng the brigade was the float of the Columbia Trust Company, depict ing scenes of homes, and the eight addi tions that has firm has added to the City of Portland. '! The float that was built by enterprising citizens of Eugene was the next In line. In front of a large globe showing the western hemisphere and with a big star marking the location of Hugene on the North American Continent, was a cas cade and waterfall turning a power wheel. On the rear of the float were buildings representing the State University and in front of the buildings two students, a man and 'co-ed," were Industriously reading from a gigantic book. . The Peninsula section, -which was head ed by the Peninsula band, was greeted wfch cheers. ' The float was filled with roses, the feature that has bsen carried out by that - district during the week's gestival. Little Sailor Boys Win. .

Rose Train Is AVonderful. One hundred and fifty thousand per sons saw and marvelled at; the- rose train. The Peninsula had - asked for; cull roses, but what they did -with such no one knows, for they could not have been thrown away. The blooms that were scattered lavishly about the streets were so nearly perfect that in the afternoon they were to be ' seen 'in every woman's - waist and scarcely' a petal remained on the pavement. The Armory was crowded from the moment it opened until late at night. Decorated lavishly, it was a feast for the eye, -wherever the bnlooker stood. Masses of greenery llned the walls and the building was- a scene of animation. To the Board of Education and to' the judges the Festival spirit has spread. Every child In the schools will be- at liberty to rejoice ' for this and tomorrow afternoons will be holidays for -them. " High schools and grade schools alike will shut their doors at noon. . . -. . . - The Circuit Courts will adjourn at noon both xiays, for boUi judge. Juries and . the legal- rr&ternify want -t,o see the pageants, 'The ' scene 'along, the street was one of brightness. . The brilliant costumes of - the .women, "set off by the flowers they, were wearing, -the animated air which possessed everyone, transformed! Portland into a Continental town, so great was the change. Lights Are Turned On. Expressions of. admiration, regarding the buildings and the common vise maov of the queen flower for decoration. were common, but it was the moment when the lights were turned on again for the evening parade that seemed to be so anxiously awaited. When the long-expected flash came and rosebuds were a blaze of electric light, with electric - streamers burning at each street Intersection, a murmur of delight arose. . . Then the parade of the massed bands attracted attention to Sixth street as the various- bands swung into line and played inspiring marches, while they marched from end to end of the "Court of Honor." By this time every grandstand on the line of march had become alive. Store fronts were occupied and every building, even to the fire-escapes, added its quota to the throng. , Festivities In Full Swing. Not the veriest grouch will have cause today to complain of lack of entertain ment, for, this, the third day of the Fes tival, is where the festivities really get into their stride. Early In the morning the awards and various trophies will be distributed to the exhibitors In the annual exhibition of the Portland Rose Society at the Ar mory, Tenth and Davis streets. These trophies consist of valuable silver cups and medals to those obtaining first and second places in each class. Up to the present, the awards have been Indicated by blue and white ribbons fastened to the winning blooms by Miss Mary Arby, who followed the Judges yesterday morning as they did their work. In the afternoon the automobile parade, running -over 20 miles of city streets, will occur.. Starting at 2 o'clock, the machines to the number of 600 will form . In sec tions, each section resting on a different side street. The automobile parade will be the daylight parade par excellence. From the tiny little one-lunger" to the six-cylindered racing machine, whose driver will find It difficult to curb Its fiery ardor to the pace necessary for the parade; from the tiny tricycle deliv ery vehicle to the. five-ton dray age truck, every form of self-propelled carriage will be represented. The touring car, the run about and roadster, the racing machine, the electric pleasure car all will find sections appropriate for their class. Auto Parade Society Event. In place of being driven by paid chauf feurs every vehicle, except the motor drays, will be handled by an owner or some friend, for the automobile parade has now become a typical society event. The number of horses In the United States January 1, 190O, was nearly four teen million. PEflSUlA'S TRAIN.

Rose Associa tion train, and leavinga record of their .transit in the trail of blossoms thrown under the feet of Portland s visitors, the second morning of the Rose Festival was given over to the people Of the Peninsula, With prodigal hands '1.000, 000 roses vert distributed in the brief time consumed In the passage of the train, and as the fragrant blossoms were tossed to the waiting thousands along the sidewalks, whlte-frocked maidens, scarcely less beau tiful than the blooms so lavishly dis peased, paid homage to their queen of the floral season. From the Steel bridge at the north end of Third street the rose train passed along to Washington street, out Wash ington to Twentieth street, back along Washington to Fifth and out and back on Morrison, not an Inoh of space along the route being !vo!6V of .spectators, and as the rose-laen cars sped along, the flowers were tossed to the crowds scram bling for souvenirs. "Midget" Bird Leads. "At the ' head of the train appeared a car carrying the Peninsula- band, "with the 40-inch midget, Robert Bird, occupy ing the front window. Bird weigh scarcely more than a. pound to. the inch; and carries witlv the greatest ease the, responsibility of the success of the Penin sula musical organization on his" small shoulders. - . . .-. : - As the band played, which, was; all the time, the young, women in the rose-distribution car carried out their, part of the programme .-to. .the . letter.

Miss Laura - Hilton, Miss Ida Daughtery .and Miss Fay Wise was banked with cut flowers arranged In col ors, as well as 'being handsomely draped with bunting. A space Just large enough to hold the five young women was re served in the center of the car, the re mainder being covered with sloping beds i of blossoms. Stems Were cut off and only."' the blooms attached -to the cloth. ' . -. In the cars following the float in. which the queen rode were the committees of women, who had planned the extravagant display, escorted by J. H. Nolta. general manager of the affair. The trajn WaA in . charge ; of Inspector R. A..: Bird. .of. the Portland Tramway Company. Notan ac cident of any character marred the occa sion. Among Eastern visitors to the Festival there was constant wonderment expressed at the apparently wasteful use made of the roses, the impression being the result, of prices which they are accustomed to naylng for the hothouse varieties of their j portion of the United States, .which flour- ish under Oregon outdoors conditions. Among tne young women m tne cars were: Bessie Purdy, Nellie Rhomberg, Rachel Johnson, Puevie Hunter, Martha Warmholtz, Loreta Wilder, Pauline Rhomberg, Mary Roaper, Blanche Edlef son, Lula Gilmore.

Mabel Klahn, Aela Lyon, Esther Ness, Zella Seely. All of the villages on the Peninsula were represented in the. parade, the flow ers being contributed from the over-laden front yards of the district without effort, to secure distinction for ahy'particular. town or place. ' "This was our own little contribution to the Festival," said 3. H. Nolta,-after the parade disbanded, "but during the remainder of the week, our district will aid in furnishing the roses needed for decorative purposes; and to greet visitors' at the depot." . , Carload of Roses Left Over. . ' After throwing away three carloads of roses the Peninsula Association had a. carload left for distribution at its bu reau at the entrance of the Union Rail way station. The booth was in charge of seven young women, dressed In white' and wearing wreaths of roses on their" heads. The perfume-laden air attracted busy travelers as well as visitors to the. stand, and all made selections to suit' their tastes. ' ' ' " The fresh, bright roses, of all colors., spread out on the long counter and banked high on a reserve shelf- In the rear of the booth, were so elaborate in effect that many strangers Jumped at the conclusion that they were for sale. They could not comprehend at a glance . that such an abundance of beautiful gifts were at hand. They were not even re quired to ask for them. The young' women pleasantly requested all to help themselves and frequently vied with each other to supply a party of strangers with souvenirs of the Rose Festival. The display was so conspicuous that it attracted the attention of the busiest travelers and persons rushing to catch, trains. .
