A Rose Festival parade with a par
adoxical absence of roses was the an
nual procession of automobiles yester
day afternoon.
While the prize-winning cars and a
few of the other entries were decorated
with the same degree of elegance, taste
and beauty that has marked the
parade of former years, the number
of machines in line was far smaller and
the average of excellence was far be
low the standard of former years.
Many among the thousands of people
who viewed yesterday's procession I
were disappointed.
Those Portland people who are fa
miliar with the usual high attainments
of the festival functions made it plain
to the visitors that this year's event
was not representative of Its class
that It did not come up to the mark.
Some of the best entries yesterday
were produced by visiting organiza
tions and visiting individuals. A woe
ful lack of interest was manifest
among automobile owners in Portland.
Those few whose patriotism and en
thusiasm prompted them to participate
were able to attract credit to them
selves only. They could not prevent
people from asking. "What's the mat
ter with the people who own ma
chines?" Indians Shnnr Enthuslssm.
Even the Blackfeet Indians, who are)
here from Glacier National Park,
showed more enthusiasm than some of
the Portland automobile owners. The
redskins, all painted up in war colors
and attired with their gaudy raiment,
occupied three or four big machines.
With them rode Miss Spokane, who has
been one of the stellar atractlons of
the festival.
The Bell Telephone Company's auto
mobile, which received the majority of
the votes of all the judges for the
grand prize, was the popular favorite
and was decorated with wonderful
taste, with blue and yellow as the pre
vailing colors. Festoons of blue lark
spurs ran to a knot over the center of
the car, forming an arch under which
sat the driver and four young women
dressed In white suits, with blue hat
bands and ribbons. About the body
of the car was built up a mass of
yellow flowers, shading from deep
orange daisy-like blossoms to the pale
lemon yellow of the Scotch broom.
The broom mingled with the blue lark
spurs on the festoons, and the lower
part of the car was trimmed with
lemon yellow bows of gauze, while
bows of blue decorated the upper parts.
In the car were S. Wallace, Miss Lulu
ravey. Miss Blanche Rice and Miss
Anna Rich.
Corbett Touring Car Wins.
Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett's touring
car, which won first prize In its class,
was massed with locust foliage in
which great bunches of pink peonies,
similar to double roses were placed.
The car was decorated by Miss Helen
Ladd, Miss Sara McCully, Miss Georgia
Yates and Miss Mary Brownlee, who
rode in it in the parade.
The second prize winner, owned by G.
W. Baldwin, was covered with pampas
Illumes, until it looked like a great,
inure, plumy box. Red ribbons and
loses were used to trim it and the oc
cupants were dressed in white with rod
hat bands and hair ribbons. The car
showed great Ingenuity on the part of
tne tiecorators, but few real flowers
were used in decorating It.
The third prize winner, owned and
driven by Mrs. L. Peyton, was decorated
with blue larkspuis on a mass of maid
enhair fern, and trimmed with big
bows of dark blue gauze. The oc
cupants of tho car, Mrs. Peyton, Mrs.
William Pearson, of New York, and
Miss Marie Frantz. were dressed In
white and wore blue ribbons. A feature
of the decoration, which attracted much
interest and brought great volumes of
applause. was "Handsome Jim." a
beautiful collie, owned by Mrs. Peyton,
who rode upon th-a left running board
throughout the parade, nestled against
the background of fern and wearing a
great bow of blue gauze at his collar.
Jim appreciated the attention he at
tracted and barked hilariously most of
the time while the parade was on.
Tkree Mentioned Honorably.
Honorable mention was accorded to
the cars of Mrs. Anna Olson and Mrs.
J. Matthlesen, both of which were
elaborately decorated In pink roses, and
to the car of F. C. Tilly, which was
covered with purple lupins, dressed so
as to resemble wistaria flowers.
The Rotary Club float was the most
elaborate and Intricate In the entire
parade and was cheered enthusiastical
ly wherever it passed. The rotary
idea was carried out and repeated In
numberless ways. In front of the
machine revolved a windwheel, painted
In spiral stripes so that as It revolved
it appeared to be winding contlnually
outward, a la revolving barber pole.
The front wheels of the auto were
covered with a similar spiral design,
while the rear wheels had It reversed,
so that they appeared to be narrowing
toward the hub all the time as they
revolved. On the truck Itself, a merry-go-round,
crowded with little boys and
girls In white, was whirling round and
round under a rreat parasol of ever
green which turned in an opposite
direction.
Oakland Decoration. Displayed.
The car that represented Oakland was
a study In blue and white and was
prepared for the parade by Fred Seul
berger. who Is attending the Festival
with the Royal Oaks of Oakland. All
of the decorations were brought from
Oakland, the car being secured In Port
land. Over the bonnet of the car
fluttered a score of white doves driven
with lines of white ribbon by a yellow-
LODGE
haired doll which sat enthroned among
the evergreens of the arch that over
spread the car.
The arch and body of the car were
filled in with a background of greenery
and over this was built up a wonderful
structure of great white lillies. Blue
ribbons and buntings completed the
decorations and the Inmates of the car
were dressed in blue and white. Irving
Jones, of Oakland, drove and with him
were Mrs. E. H. Dodge, Mrs. O. K. Jef
fery, of Portland, and Mrs. Leslie Rice,
of Oakland.
Dazzling in its color was the auto
mobile of the San Francisco Portola
and the Mayor of San Francisco, which
was near the head of the procession,
and had it entered the competition for
prizes probably would have made a
high score for first place. The body
of the car was covered with evergreen
and over this blazed hundreds and hun
dreds of huge yellow California pop
pies. Artisans Enter Many Cars.

afternoon more guests were received
by the crew of the U. S. S. St. Louis
than during any two hours Blnce she
arrived, and those assigned to care for
the crowd had their hands full. Vis

as so many lined the route of the
automobile parade, but by 3 o'clock
there was a scramble to reach city
landings and there was a steady stream
until 6 o'clock.
Officers of the ship were guests at

ashore during the afternoon and eve

Snapshot Interviews
THE Rose Festival couldn't be bet
ter," declared C. A. Ferris, one of
the Pasadena Knights of the Rose
Tournament, yesterday. "At least we
don't see how It could be improved
upon, and we have had some experience
in holding rose shows In Pasadena.
Our tournament takes place on Jan
uary 1 of each year, and we are pleased
to see that we are not the only folks
who know how to celebrate the rose."
"This is the greatest time we have
ever had in our lives," said F. E. Agar,
official artist for the Royal Oaks, of
Oakland. "We think we know how to
entertain down In Oakland, but we ad
mit that we have no monopoly on the
business of providing a good time for
the stranger within the gates."

"Portland must have some such
spirit as Seattle's," said R. C. Mc-
Cormick. owner of the Hotel Richmond
at Seattle, yesterday morning, when he
saw the decorations still In position
on the partially burned store building
of J. C. Mack & Company. Mr. McCor
mick, who saw the fire from his room
at the Perkins Hotel, professed to be
lieve that the intrepid Rose Festival
management had refused to allow the
lire to mar the artistic tout ensemble
of its decorative scheme, and had re
placed the nags and bunting on the
Mack building during the night. As a
matter of fact but few of the building's
decorations were harmed.
Tom Neely, who came down from
Seattle with a party of friends by auto
mobile, was enthusiastic over the bril
liance and beauty of the electrical
parade Tuesday night. "I have never
seen anything like It," he said, "noth
ing that approached it In artistic con
ception and execution."
John Bader, of Eugene, who has vis
ited the Rose Festival every June for
several yars, says that it is better
than ever this year. "Each year one
goes home with the Idea that the fes
tival cannot be Improved upon the
succeeding year, and yet, behold, tha

AS I strolled into the hotel lobby to
see If I could run against some
one whom I knew, I was fortunate
enough to stumble right on Walter
Pierce, once of Pendleton, now of Hot
Lake, or Hotlake, as you prefer. In
fact, Walter and his sanitarium, or
sanatorium, if you like that spelling
better, are principally Hot Lake. Take
them away and the lake would be left,
but that Is about all.
Just as Walter and I were fore

tics, as is our custom -for, be it known,
that for several years I have been la
boring with him to show him that in
Oregon a Democrat ought to have, by
good rights, no hope at least of an
office up came a man with a badge
on him the size of a breakfast plate,
and on his arm a sign reading like
this, "I am from Oakland." He ac

It and glad of it.
Ontario Booster First.
However, before he got a word
through his teeth another chap came
up, a big roistering, hearty-looking
fellow and reminded us In no uncer
tain tones that he was there to sing
the praises and sound the advantages
of Ontario, a lively little town "way
out on the Snake." If it was a mile
or two further it would be in Idaho.
"Now," he remarked, as if he had be
longed to the conversation for a long
time, "Now, I will tell you fellows
something Ontario is the best town in
Oregon; do you get me the best town
in "
"Did you ever hear of a place called
Prinevllle," chipped in a fellow who
just walked up, "a city called Prine
vllle, the queen city of the Interior, the
metropolis of Central Oregon, the
richest town in all "
"Yes," remarked another "butinski,"
"Prlneville is a 'hellova' place, a 'hell
ova' good town perhaps, but when It
comes to talking about towns, about
good towns, you ought to come down to
Newport, down to Newport on the Ya
iulna. or rather at the mouth of the
Yaquina "
"What is the Yaquina, a disease or
a breakfast food?" asked another chap
who Just came up.
Newnorter la Indignant.
The Newporter turned red In the
face, began to sputter and stammer. I
thought he was going to throw a fit.
But presently he gained his speech and
went on. "Newport, as I remarked, is
on the Yaquina and the Yaquina Is
one of the three great rivers of Ore
gon, the second perhaps "
"Oh, yes," exclaimed another chap,
"Newport is where they are trying to
make It possible by dredging for crabs
and clams to get over the bar without
the aid of a tug; I have often heard of
that place, but I never supposed be
fore that people Teally lived there."
That was so fierce that I was sura
the Newporter would explode, when
the war was averted by another chap
coming up and asserting that New
port was a "dog-goned" fine city, "but
you must come to Dallas, to Dallas, In
Polk County, If you want to see a fine
city, a real live young city. We have
in Dallas 17 miles of paved streets,
three miles of "
"Has Dallas been connected with the
telephone system yet?" asked a new
comer. "Has Dallas been connected with
the telephone system?" repeated after
him the man from Dallas. "Why Dal

Dallas is a city remember that! A

Independence Advocate Appears.
"Tell It to the police," butted in a
fresh guy who Just came up. "We did
not come here to learn about dead ones
we came to hear about live towns,
real live towns, like my town, my home
town of independence, of Independence,
the hop center of the universe. Why
we have got the biggest hopyard there
that lies outdoors "
He got no farther for Just then an
other fellow, a sensible fellow, a real
live fellow, a fine-looking chap from
Roseburg, came up and asked us if
all of us would "join him at the brass
railed counter and squench our thirsts,"
and we never said a word, but oozed
out through the side door towards tha
prescription counter.
Just then one and all began talking
about Marion County, every man Jack
of them began extolling the merits of
Marlon County, began telling of the
good bargains to be had In farm lands
there, about the good climate, fine
schools and churches, good roads and
splendid neighbors. Not a mother's son
of them mentioned his own town that
he stood ready to fight for with his
friends, nor of his own or neighbor's
Lands. Each one seemed to be imbued
with the idea that here was a stranger
who wanted to make a home In Ore
gon and each one became a booster
for the man who saw him first.
