Whether the day of 'the faithful horse has passed or not will be demonstrated in the horse and carriage parade this afternoon, when the horse will have the place of honor. The parade will be between three and four miles long; and It will require mora than an hour to pass a given point. There will be decorated horses and carriages, dec orated saddle horses. Japanese and Chinese floats and. rarest of all to the Eastern visitor, an old-time stage coach, surrounded by shrieking and painted Indians, fresh from the Uma tilla reservation. Possibly the Indians will excite more interest than any other feature of the parade. They were rounded up after innumerable councils and pow-wows. With their half-wild ponies, they were shipped from Pendleton, and to the number of half a hundred, hedged in oy typical range cowboys, they will join In the line of march. Punctuality to Bo Insisted Upon. H. L. Plttock, grand marshal, will be in charge of the parade. He Issued his orders yesterday and it is certain that the pageant will move sharply at 2 P. M. Every section In the parade must be lined up by 1:30 in its ap pointed side street. Because of the pride of a Scotch piper that forbids him from following any other musical organisation, the men with the pipes will head the pageant as It moves on Morrison street from Fourteenth street. Following will come the police pla toon and Grand Marshal Plttock and his aides. At least 10 bands will march in the procession. Unless the parade Is lined up complete at 1:30. it Is cer tain that final movement cannot be arranged before 2 o'clock. Mr. Plttock, however, declares that It will move ab solutely on time and that those apply ing for admittance to the ranks late ivill not be accommodated. Nearly the whole membership of the Portland Hunt Club and the Junior Hunt Club will be in the line of march. The seniors, garbed in the festive ptnk of traditional foxhunting days, with their M. F. H. in command, will make 1 splendid sight. Line of March Announced.

ORCHESTRA TO BE NOVEL Even Chinese National Alf Will Be Played by Occidentals And Then There Will Be Some "Put ting to Sleep." Northwest consular representatives of foreign governments to the number of 38, representing 19 nations,' are in Portland for the annual reunion of the consular corps of Oregon and Washington. Twenty are from out of the city, coming from Seattle, Tacoma and Port Townsend. The larger number are from Tacoma.' Most of the officials occupy Vice-Consulships', there being only 13 Consuls. Owing to the increased tonnage in all Northwestern perts It is probable that the question of the location of more Consuls In the Northwest will be discussed. Par ticularly Is this true of the Norwegian representatives. "Portland's Norwegian tonnage this year is almost equal to that of Great Britain," said End re M. Cederbergh, Nor wegian Vice-Consul here. "As it now is, our business must be transacted through San Francisco." This sentiment was echoed by Dirk Blaauw, Vice-Consul at Tacoma, who was among the first to ar rive. Plan to Welcome Visitors. - Some difficulty was experienced by the visitors In finding hotel accommodations, and It was not until a -search was made for rooms that all were located. The reunion will convene this morning at 10 o'clock in the Hotel Portland rath skeller. The address of welcome will be delivered by James Laidlaw, British Con sul here and dean of the Northwest con sular corps. Following a cutsom estab lished last year at the A-Y-P Exposition at Seattle, the Consuls will sit for their photographs. This is scheduled for 11:15. When at the raHiskeller various subjects relating to their offices will be discussed informally. At 12 noon, or soon after ward, the party will go to the grand stand at Sixth and "Morrison streets, where the two top rows of seats have been reserved for them. Waving above these two seats will be the flags of all the nations represented. There they will view the crowds until the horse and car riage parade begins. After this the party will go to the Commercial Club for a light luncheon. Returning to the Hotel Portland rath skeller the members will continue the discussion of state subjects until shortly before 6 o'clock, when all will go to the Hotel Imperial grillroom for the banquet, which Is the feature of the entertain ment. ' Music Will Be Feature. A novel feature of the banquet, which will be elaborate, is the music. An' or chestra -of six pieces, has been secured and the National airs of every Nation represented will be played. Only a few times. If ever before, has this been done. Even the Chinese National air, difficult for Occidental musicians to master, will be played on the native instruments.- Endre M. Cederbergh will act as toast master at the banquet. The speeches will WEATHER MAN CAN FIND NO CONDITIONS TO WARRANT RAIN PREDICTION.

HOMES MUST BE OPENED BIGGEST CROWD EVER IX CITY OVERTAXES HOTELS. Unless Citizens Show Hospitality, .. Many '. of . Portland's Visitors . Must Walk Streets. To the appeal of hotel men to citizens of-Portland to, throw open their homes to the city's guests yesterday there was a' hearty response, and several thousand people were taken care of who otherwise might have been compelled to walk the streets or to leave the city on late trains. The response to the cry for help, how ever, was not liberal enough to accommo date all the visitors, and those who have rooms to spare are urged to, telephone their addresses to the various hotels. The height of the Festival will be reached to day and additional thousands are coming to witness the last and most important three days of the annual fete. The long lists of available rooms com piled by the various hotels shrank rap Idly during the forenoon and before night dwindled away to nothing. The sight of persons patrolling - the streets all night long, dodging into stairways and inquir ing at. every lodging place, only to 'be turned away, noticeable the - last two nights,--will be repeated -tonight,-only -on a greater scale, unless residents of Port land offer the hospitality of their homes. It is estimated by hotel men that Port land Is . now . entertaining . the biggest crowd that was ever in the city. They base their calculations on the number they have been able to accommodate and the still greater number they have turned away. ,'ww KEY TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS. 1 X- C.

System That Compels - Suburbanites -to Stay Out All Night Is Criti cised Bitterly by Victims. , . VANCOUVER, Wash., June 8. Special. Scores of persons who attended the "Spirit, of the Golden West" parade 1n Portland last night and who . were left there all night or were forced to come home late, are bitterly criticising the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company for permitting residents of Woodlawn to occupy Vancouver oars, to the practical exclusion of Vancouver customers. The train leaving Portland at 11:45 o'clock last night had two cars. In one car were 118 passengers-. . At Woodlawn 79 of them got off, leaving 39 passengers bound for Vancouver. In the other car 103 fares were, rung up and at Woodlawn 61 persons got off. By crowding into the Vancouver cars. Woodlawn, people kept Vancouver passengers from, getting on and the Vancouver passengers were com pelled to wait several hours or go home on the railroad train after midnight. No doubt hundreds in Vancouver will not go to Portland during the Rose Festi val, on account of the unusual crowds on the cars. Persons going to Woodlawn pay the reg ular g-cent fare and ride almost to the city limits. Vancouver passengers pay the regular fare for the same ride and most of them are 'compelled to stand, or cannot get on the cars eit all, and then pay 10 cents to ride from the city limits to the ferry landing, a relatively short distance. - , . It is true that the traction company has given the Vancouver people the privilege of taking a transfer when they pay their fare end going out to Woodlawn on the Wood sawn cars, but this is not at all sat isfactory. It seems that Woodlawn neo- ple crowd out the Vancouver passengerst. - -NstW r t 1111 I Committees have taken ud the subject with President F. I. Fuller, but Fuller says that the trouble cannot be averted, as there Is an ordinance against refusing to carry passengers on any cars 6perating in the city limits. There are more people - in Vancouver this year and the congestion is greater than ever before. Hundreds of Vancou ver people are contemplating resorting to stringent measures if better service is not given on the Portland-Vancouver line. v Bridal ' Veil Coming; to Portland. - BRIDAL .VEIL, Or., June 8. (Special.) The plant of the Bridal Veil Lumbering Company at this place will, be closed down Saturday to give the employes an opportunity to go to Portland and see the wind up of the Rose Festival. It is expected that several hundred will visit Portland -that day-. TACOMA TALKS. STADIUM Visitors From Pu get Sound Adver tise Event for July 24-30. , Tacoma and Puget Sound visitors are taking advantage of the attendance of the Rose Festival to advertise the United States military tournament, which will open the Tacoma stadium July 24 to 30. The tournament will be under the super vision of the War Department, Imme diately preceding the Army maneuvers at American Lake. To make the tour nament a big success. Tacoma has raised $4000, which will ba distributed in' cash prizes to winners of the various events. All arms of the service will take part in the contests and it is estimated that 2000 troops axe now drilling, in preparation for the event. The Government holds these tournaments annually to show the public what the soldiers can do. The stadium at Tacoma is the biggest affair of the kind ,on the Pacific Coast. It will seat 30,000 people and the arena has ample space for a regimental drill. The stadium, which is now being rushed to completion, will cost $100,000. it is built In a depression adjoining the big Tacoma High School, and will be used for outdoor events shows and gatherings that require much room and great seating capacity President of Society Gives Greatest Credit to Women Who Have Given Time and Energy to Display. Holman Gets First Prizes. The Portland Rose Show of 1910 la of the past. . Held under the auspices of the Portland Rose Society, it is univer sally declared to have been the most successful, the most wonderful and the best exposition of Its kind ever held in the history of this country or any other. At. 13 o'clock last night the doors were closed. During the 25 hours the doors were open, it Is estimated no less than 50,000 persons saw the exhibits. All day yesterday, the aisles of the main audi torium of the Armory, where the shojv was held, were crowded with visitors. After the automobile parade, the rush of spectators promised to equal that of Tuesday afternoon, when the show was formally opened. A great line of people stretched for two hours from Washington street down Tenth to the Armory, con stantly coming and going. The crowds were uniformly orderly, and the ex hibits appeared as fresh yesterday as when they were judged after being put In place. Scores spent hours viewing the ex hibits yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, a few seats had been arranged and a refreshment stand. In one corner of the hall enabled many to sit there, sipping cool drinks and inhaling the dellghtfur fragrance that filled the room. After the hours on the street awaiting and watching the parade, a visit to the Rose Show proved an exhilaration. At a meeeting of the Rose Society In the Armory yesterday morning, the de cision of the judges on the various classes were officially announced by Secretary George Tazwell, and were formally de clared by President Emmet Drake. Ow ing to the fact that a few of the cups were not ready, the presentations were postponed until a later date. It is very probable - that there will not be any for mality to the presentations when they are made. Women have figured prominently In the work of the society and In the arrange ment of the show. To them was given credtt by President Drake for its great success.. "The women -have been most enthusiastic." he said. "They have dis played the best taste and have evidenced great enthusiasm throughout. Whatever ' of success ' the show has been, may be attributed in great part to their efforts. They have been patient and painstaking. They have worked faithfully for the show and without a murmur of discon tent he.ve given their time, their energy and industry in making it a success." The greatest credit for exhibits, prob ably belongs to two women. They are Mrs. A. C. Panton. of Terrace Road, and Mrs. A. Tucker, of Willamette Heights. A man, Frederick V. Holman. one of Portland's most accomplished rosarians. however, was awarded four of the most sought-after trophies, winning the four first prises In the Class A exhibit. Through a mistake yesterday, T. N. Reed was not given credit for the best Mam an Cochets. . - PIANO CLUBS POPULAR EVERYBODY IN THE DEAL; MER CHANTS, MECHANICS, TEACH ERS AND PHYSICIANS. The Co-Operative Idea Applied to Piano-Buying Grows on the People. - More and More Each Day Real ize the Tremendous Saving It Effects, and Lose No Time in Joining. There has been a regular helter skelter rush in our piano club business this week. "Helter-skelter" because the demand has been for all classes of pianos. Heavy Inroads have been made in our highest - grade pianos by club joiners. Some people who thought we "only advertised" have found out what quantities of pianos we sell, and what fine ones. too. Thev have found out also that we sell better" pianos for the price at all times than any other house can. because we have facilities for handling them, more economically than other houses possess. They have found out that the co-operative plan, which we are now offering them, effects another great saving in the cost of Instruments. The regular $350 pianos may now be obtained by joining Club "A" for $237 terms $ down and the balance at $1 a week: Club "B" members pay $7. B0 down and $1.25 weekly, and secure choice of $450 Instruments for $297.50: Club "C ' mem bers get a $550 piano for $359 on pay ment .of $11 down and $1.50 a week. MANY DIFFERENT MAKES. Club members are not asked to take one or two styles of one particular make on the contrary, they choose be tween over two dozen of the most de sirable and worthiest makes in the very latest of case designs. In fanciest of San Domingo Mahogany. English Burled Walnut, and Genuine Quarter - Sawed Oak included are such illustrious makes as the famous Kimball, the artistic Hobart M. Cable, the celebrated Lester, the old reliable Marshall & Wendell, the renowned Smith & Barnes, our own make, the new popular Eilers, etc., etc. MANY VISITORS BUYING. Scores of Rose Festival visitors have dropped In at our retail salesrooms, as they expressed It, "Just to look around." but a number of them were so taken up with the tremendous savings pos sible through our club plan, and the numerous special features offered, such as free music lessons, free tuning, stool to match the piano, and free life insur ance, etc.. that they joined one or an other of the clubs, made the Initial pay ment and have ordered their instru ments shipped to their respective homes. We are confident that each and everv one of these instruments will be the means of securing other club Joiners, Just as soon as their friends hear of the truly wonderful Club Plan. YOU'D BETTER JOIN NOW. All told, there were 510 strictly brand new, high-grade, warranted instru ments set aside for club members a little over a week ago. Already nearly half of this amount has been taken, and at tho rate they are going the balance will be taken before long. We state in all sincerity that this is the greatest piano-buying opportunity ever present ed. Such beautiful and desirable pianos have never been offered anywhere at , such ridiculously low prices and unheard-of terms of payment. Compare and Investigate. Satisfy yourself that everything we state and claim is gospel truth. You're protected in every way. Pianos must prove exactly as represent ed or "Money Back." There is no time better than the present to investigate come in at once, today if possible.
