The travel, however, is not confined to local traffic Tourists are beginning to arrive In large numbers, and from -all parts of the country. At the Canadian Pacific offices word has been received Xrom Winnipeg that tourist travel west ward, all of which Is destined to pass through Portland, is greater this year than at the same time in 1909, although in 1909 the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition was an additional attraction.

"The Rose Festival is the only attraction in the West this year and all the tourist travel west ward Is coming this way,- while there is Bo special entertainment to attract per sons from the nearby localities to other cities, as there was last year.

Stinger, general agent of the Harrlman lines yesterday. "Every train that arrives Is crowded and hauling prac tically double the usual -equipment."

ROOMS AHE WANTED Hotels Are Full and Citizens Must Open Their Homes. SITUATION UP TO PEOPLE Proprietors of Hostelrles Ask That People Who Have Vacant Lodg ings, Apprise Them- So They -Can Assist Arrivals.-' With the "announcement that many thousand people are still on their way to Portland, the question of hotel ac commodation becomes every minute a more vital one. . ' So enormous have the crowds be come that every hotel at present is practically full. ' Under these circum stances, President Dickinson, of the Hotelmen's Association, begs that any one who has a single room, even, will telephone the name and address to some hotel so that a visitor to Port land may be sent there. - At the same time it would be desirable to telephone the rate and the carline upon which the house stands. President ' Beckwith, of the Commer cial Club, suggested yesterday to each of the hotelmen that they take an au tomobile and run along Salmon, Main, Taylor and Yamhill streets, where many rooms are to be rented, and also into the East-Side streets and list the hundreds of rooms vacant in those neighborhoods. All the hotelmen are very anxious to accommodate the crowds. - - Many visitors are arriving late at night with children and the question of securing, accommodations for them Is a vital one.' During the last days of the week, there will be many visitors from Canada and Puget Sound. In or der that these may go away thoroughly satisiiea wnn their holiday, accommo dations must be found for them. If rooms are listed with the hotel men by every lodging housekeeper and even Dy the owners of private houses, there is no question that everyone can be found a bed and that they will go away without feelings of dissatisfao tion. "Let us all put aside our personal feelings and open our houses to the strangers," said Mr. Beckwith. last night. "Frankly, the situation is serious. Wa are worried but we must take care of the people coming today. If we do not they will 'knock' Portland. To avoid that and save our reputation, we must do everything we can to make ud for the mistake of not establishing a Dureau to secure rooms for our visi tors. The situation is up to Portland Let our citizens step forward and show the material they are made of." HARRY BREEDEN PAYS VISIT Many Gay Parties ' Registered at Hotels Having Good Times.

COE HOST TO 60 Party of Colonists Dines at Commercial Club. SCORES COMING FROM EAST Columbia Land Company Proposes to Place 10 0,000 Settlers on Lands In Umatilla County F. Ball Heads Eastern Party. Last evening at the Commercial Club the Columbia : Land Company enter tained a party of about 60 colonists at a dinner given by the president of the company, Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. These new settlers arrived in Portland en route for Stanfield and Hermlston in Umatilla County in three special cars under the general management of F. E. Ball, of Fargo, N. D., vice president of the land company, mak ing the rose show a feature of the trip. One car was from Grand Forks, un der management of James M. Kyle, an other from Valley City under man agement of Schiller Herman, and the third from Minot, in charge of F. E. Baker. All of the party were greatly pleased with Portland and full of praise for the management of the Rose Festival. Dr. Coe made a short address, in which he refrained from discussing his own projects in Eastern Oregon, but dwelt upon the magnifi cence - of Oregon as a whole, stating that to ' settle anywhere in the state meant no mistake. Mr. Ball, in discussing the worK" be ing done in Umatilla County.' remarked: "These people may be rightly said to represent five persons each and out of the 80 people in these three cars we SCENE AT THE DINNER GIVEN BY DR. HENRY WALDO COE AT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB IN HONOR OF SIXTY COLONISTS WHO WILL SETTLE IN OREGON I alii! it I vhY -iriirH itrr ? J;.;y f if : !

"We will have two additional cars in the city this week and they will be kept ebmlng until we have settled a hun dred thousand people in the Lower Umatilla Valley. This makes about 20 cars that we have personally conducted to this state during the past six months. . "I do not believe that the people of Oregon appreciate the great work which Dr. Coe is doing for Oregon. "Most sales of lands here are made to people who come to Oregon on their own motion. We go out and get these people, bringing them in our own spe cial cars on a 200.0-mile journey to this land of promhre. "It seems to me that the people of Oregon do not fully appreciate this great colonization movement. The work Dr. Coe is deing here in Oregon is worthy of their special attention and indorsement. In fields where the Co lumbla Land Company Is operating much is published about this coloniza tion movement in Oregon, and it is generally of a kind to try to keep people in their homes. Of course, such publications always have something: to say complimentary to the hustling character of the Columbia Land Com pany, doubtless the most successful colonization influence now operating for the good of Oregon."
