10 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN' PORTLAND, JTTXE 12, 1910. fiQSE FESTIVAL NOW If HISTORY .Fourth Annual Portland Show Proves Entertainment " for 400,000. GROWTH OF DISPLAY RAPID parades and Elaborate Decorations Great Advertising Medium for City and Oregon .Moving Pic tures to Travel Over World. After a week of crowds such as have iever before been known in Portland, . 'even in the times of the Lewis and Clark Fair in 1905. the fourth annual Portland Rose festival has drawn to a close. For a few days there will still be many who will stay in the city for the opportunity afforded them of in specting Oregon's scenery, while there will bo a large number desirous of thoroughly investigating: business con ditions. ' Thorough and complete satisfaction 'are expressed with the result of the (Week by President Hoyt and Manager :Hutcliin. of the Portland Itose Festival Association. under the auspices of which the Festival has been held. Starting with a two-day affair four years ago, the Rose Festival grew 'teadlly until this year it provided a week's entertainment for literally hun dreds of thousands of people. world to See Kestival. By means of a reel of pictures taken by the Selig Polyscope people, within :two weeks moving pictures showing "different phases of the Itose Festival views of the crowds and the stands and :some of the city's best rose gardens, will be placed on exhibition at each of the 125 moving-picture exchanges in America and in the Kuropean agencies. Thus the Festival during the ensuing 12 months will be seen in every town that has a theater running Selig films. This advertising has been one of the greatest results of the Rose Festival and on such an enormous scale has it been that when next year's advertise ments of the Roue Festival appear In Eastern papers, the thoughts of readers will instinctively turn to the moving pictures they have seen. That this will result in an enormously Increased traf fic Is unquestioned. The Rose Festival, In reality, lasted from Tuesday until Friday night. Sat urday night being a repetition of the Thursday-night programme and Mon day being devoted to the reception of a.11 out-of-town visitors. Some weeks before the commence ment of the Rose Festival, the spirit king of the festival, to be later known as Rex Oregonus. was selected. Gen eral Owen Summers accepted the posi tion, s On Monday noon, accompanied by Mayor Simon, General Summers made a flying run through the city dressed in his regal robes. A machine in which were heralds, garbed in the costume of a London Tower "beefeater," accom panied Ills Majesty and made the tour of the city with him. Hotels Have Strenuous Times. On Tuesday the first trouble of any kind arose. About that time the local hotels began to realize that the arriv Jng hosts would be greater than the combined . hotel accommodations. Obtaining the co-operation of the newspapers, the hotelmen agreed to list every room telephoned In to them. "When visitors arrived for rooms. theV wore directed to reliable rooming houses and the homes of private citi zens In different parts of the city. This practically relieved the situation. By Tuesday morning the railroads had brought 50.000 people from far distant points into the city. And many more were carried from short distances into Portlnnd. Thoroughly reliable estimates of the crowds at the "Spirit of the Golden West" parade Tuesday night indicate that considerably over 300,000 people saw the parade that night. 'The streetcars carried over 300, 000, which, allowing for the double trip, means that at least 150,000 streetcar patrons saw the parade. Anyone who was on the .streets that night is aware that it was two hours or more before the streetcars were enabled to clear away the crowds and that during that time an enormous number walked. Tuesday afternoon was occupied with the opening of the Portland Rose So ciety's annual exhibition at the Ar mory. During the first afternoon and evening loo.ooo passed through the doors. The second day of the show saw 75,000 people within the doors at various times during the day. Armory Literally Jammed."' At no time was the press Inside such s to be comfortable. Even with other events taking place, the Armory was jammed with visitors. Wednesday afternoon saw the big gest crowd nut for any daylight parade when the members of the Portland Automobile dub. dozens of machines from Puget Sound and outside cities appeared decorated. . This parade was three tulles long and it ran on both sides of the river, the only hitch oc curring when the Morrison-street bridge draw was opened and kept open for several minutes, although no steamer was passing through. That night the Society Circus opened at Multnomah Field. Eight thousand people were accommodated. Just twice that number passed through the turn stiles at the Oaks to see the pyrotech nic display. The downtown streets were full of people. From end to end of both Wash ington and Morrison streets the peo ple crowded from early in the evening until long after midnight. The horse and carriage parade Thurs day ran over a route of five miles on West Side streets. Probably over 300, 000 people saw that parade. With the "Dream of Rex Oregonus," Thumiay night, the crowds readied their climax. ' As far north as Glisan and as far west as Twenty-third street, the route of the parad9 was absolutely im passable. No traffic could be permitted on the side streets. Oertaln fide streets were kept open by order of the police and the streets were first roped. This was found necessary because of the lire Thursday afternoon, -when a large quan tity of the lire apparatus was ptalled by the automobiles, completely bottling up every r'dc street. Fire Laddies lake Bll. The fire laddies' turnout was the feature of the torse and carriage parade. Xot less that 500.000 people were on the parade route Thursday night and this number would have been 'excelled Satur day but for the threatening weather, which frightened many away. The one parade, which was an un qualified success was the children's human rosebud" march Friday after noon. Although comparatively fear East ern visitors appeared to be spectators, probably by reason of not knowing the route and expecting it to be, like the other parades, on West Side streets, the attendance was easily over 200,000. And H was the most enthusiastic of any of the crowds that watched the week's spectacle. From little toddlers to girls of 15, the parade was a revelation in carefully trained children. Professor Robert Krohn was the deus ex machina as far as the training of the little ones was concerned. With a matinee of the Society Circus and a repetition of the eltric", parade Saturday night, the Festival concluded. From long distances over 125,000 people visited Portland, according to the rail road officials. From points close at hand there were nearly as many more and Portland's entire population of over 200,000 was at various times on the streets. Firemen Grateful for Flowers. Fire Chief Campbell yesterday - ex pressed himself as very grateful to the many people who contributed so liberally of their roses for the decorations of the fire apparatus in the parade of vehicles. The firemen made a fine showing and drew forth great applause. Superintend ent lonaldson also expressed thanks for the roses given the street-cleaning de partment and to his men, who decorated wagons on their own time, after or before their hours of regular labor. ALL VISITORS GET ROSES PEXIXSULA LOADS DEPARTING! TRAVELERS WITH BLOOMS. Festival Will Be Followed by Parade on Peninsula and Rose Show at North Albina. At the Peninsula rose booth yester day afternoon roses were given out at the rate of 50 and 100 a minute just before the trains were leaving and hundreds were taking their departure. General Manager J. H. Nolta and H. C. Beard were in charge, with two young women from the Peninsula. Frequently the front of the booth would be crowded with women and children selecting roses, while Mr. Nolta, with a great pan of roses, served the people who were in too great a hurry to stop. It was interesting to notice the way people received the roses. Many thought that the roses were for sale, and were surprised when informed they were free. Attendants at the booth kept at work yesterday afternoon and evening until the supply was cleared out. The supply came from the Peninsula by carloads every day. and only oc casionally was the booth short. Mr. Nolta estimates that the Peninsula alone supplied 15,000,000 roses, includ ing those which were distributed from the rose cars through the streets. Mr. Nolta is grateful for the co operation of the people of the Penin sula in making the rose distribution a success. With the Rose Festival ended the Peninsula now invites the public to its own parade and rose show next Tuesday afternoon and evening, in charge of Eugene Palmer, H. A. Ruble and J. H. Nolta. There will be a pa rade on Killingsworth avenue, between Patton and Union avenues, at 7 o'clock in the evening. School children, busi ness men, automobiles and decorated vehicles will take part. Prizes are to be awarded for best-decorated automo biles and vehicles. In the afternoon the North Albina Rose Culture Society will have a rose display in the Are hall on Albina avenue, under the manage ment of Mrs. A. B. Stone, assisted by special committees fom all the dis tricts on the Pentnsula. Although sup plying carloads every day for the Union Depot booth, there is still an abundance left, for the local exhibit. Ralph Hoyt Is Cheered as King Summers Pretender Takes Throne of Rex Ore gonum to Start Parade on Time. THE dynasty of Oregonus has been upset. In deadly secret such plots are always in deadly secret His Most Gracious Majesty, Rex Oregonus III, also known as General Owen Summers, was upset from his throne Thursday night and His Majesty. Rex Oregonus III, also known as Ralph Hoyt, placed as ruling monarch in his stead. The pretender rode throughout the parade Thursday night, receiving all the applause intended for General Summer si, the man he supplanted. Not until the parade was over was the great-hearted nature of the dethroned monarch known. Albeit with a tigh, "His Majesty Gen eral Summers, of the house of Orego nus, addressed the false monarch and said ; "I am satisfied. You looked almost a king." King Hoyt's excuse is that he only took the place of King Summers after the latter failed to appear, and to en able the procession to start on time, he was forced to take His Majesty's place. But last night King Hoyt was not allowed even to pretend. At 5 o'clock King Summers wag at the royal palace (temporarily located in the fairgrounds). "I will occupy the throne, myself," he eald with royal dig nity. "No pretender shall supplant me in my subjects' affections. And he laughed with pride did the king. He also rode in the procession. , t SHRINE ON PILGRIMAGE Grand Ceremonial Session Due Friday lor 30 Hours. Potentate William H. Galvanl, of Al Kader Temple. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, announces that a grand cere monial session will be held for 30 hours, beginning- next Friday night with a business meeting, followed by an inter mission from sunrise to sunset and closing on Saturday night with a pil grimage to the Holy City. The caravan will start promptly at 8 o'clock Satur day night and upon reaching its desti nation, will be treated to a sumptuous Oriental repast. Just what hour the caravan will ar rive at its destination is something none can tell, as it requires some time for the reunion of dervishes and the trials and rejoicings of the pilgrims to be brought to a successful conclusion. Among the features of Friday night's meeting will be the story of most thrill ing adventure of H. L. Pittock, E. J. W'erleln. John Annand and W. C. Bris tol at New Orleans. Traftou M. Dye Passes as Lawyer. Traf ton M. Dye, son of Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, an Oregon City boy, who has won all sorts of honors at Columbia Univer sity, New York City, Including three scholarships and election to the editorial staff of the Columbia Law Review, has successfully passed the examination' for admission to the New York bar, and is now on his way 'to Oregon. He will probably make Portland his home. In general and electrical engineering factories In the United Kingdom, more than 14,000 women ace employed.. ONE FAULT FOUND Hawaiian Thinks City Lax Housing Its Visitors. in BUREAU PLAN SUGGESTED G. W. Smith, After Traveling 3000 Miles to Festival, Complains " of Accommodations City's Visl tors Praise Carnival. "We came 3000 miles to see the Rose Festival," said George W. Smith yes terday, who is at the head of a big wholesale and retail drug concern" in Honolulu and is here with his family, "but It is no pleasure to see a show of this kind if you can't find decent accommodations. I have many friends in Portland and could have visited them two or three weeks later, but we wanted to attend the Rose Festival. "1 know the city is crowded, but it seems to me that some arrangements should have been made in advance to have taken care of visitors. The Fes tival has been well advertised, but where is the bureau to take care of them? We are worn out by our long journey and sleeping In a cubby-hole. "I cut out the editorial in The Ore gonian on 'Hotels and Prohibition' this morning and sent it to Honolulu, as we have a prohibition fight on down there. The editorial seemed so rea sonable and sensible that it occurred to me It might do some good at home. A couple of years ago the Prohibition ists imported John G. Woolley, once a Prohibition candidate for President, to conduct a campaign in the Hawaiian Islands. He is still there. An election will be held July 26 to vote on the question of instructing the next Leg islature to enact a prohibition law. "Blind Pigs" in Hawaii. "We have the liquor traffic well con trolled in the islands. There are not too many saloons, but where you find 40 nationalities mingling It naturally follows that there will be a 'blind pig' or two. And it might be said that those "blind pigs' will exist just the same If prohibition carles and there will be more of them. "There are a number of Portlanders In business in Honolulu, although we have about lost our commercial rela tionship with this city. It Is safe to estimate that 75 per cent of our .trade now goes to Seattle, because we have no direct communication with Port land. We also have direct communi cation with San Francisco, so Port land is shut out. I have been in Hon olulu 30 years and have seen the trade with Portland dwindle from a thriving business to nothing, with the loss of direct communication. In fact, Hono lulu and Portland were once closely associated. The first printing press used in Portland was shipped from Honolulu and sold here for a good price." "The electrical parade during the Rose Festival was far superior to the elec trical parade on the Hudson River during the Hudson-Fulton celebration last Spring, and I nave no hesitation in say ing that each individual float was better than any one in our parade." With that remark William Paul Allen, of Brooklyn, the young assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern district of New York, yesterday attested his ap preciation of the Rose Festival. Mr. Allen came to Portland for the ex press purpose of Investigating the reports that this was the land of roses. He called upon Walter G. Evans, Assistant United States Attorney, at the Federal building, and gracefully capitulated to the charms of the state and of its chief city. "To frugal Easterners it Is heart breaking to observe the careless manner in which you people handle priceless roses out here," continued Mr. Allen. "One of the friends of my wife brought a great bunch of Caroline Testouts to our hotel, and without question they are the finest roses I ever saw. There is nothing grown in the hothouses of New York which compares with them. "I feel like congratulating the people of Oregon on a climate and soil which will produce such wonderful flowers. Oregon looks all right to me from every angle, but that idea of a free use of electricity from the power wires of the streetcar system and the effects which are produced is not only unique, but pro duces results that are not equalled in beauty by any other parade in the United States." Mr. and Mrs. Allen v.ill leave Portland today on their return journey, hut prom ise themselves another visit to the Coast next year. Following are a few of the expressions of appreciation of the Rose Festival heard about the hotels yesterday: A. R. McArthur, Port Washington, Wis. The rose show is fine and reflects great credit on Portland. Victor H. Wolf, New York The great display of roses was beautiful and very attractive, particularly to those who live most of the time In the big cities. Alaskan Enjoys Roses. W. C- Sprader, Fort Wrangel, Alaska The show is a striking contrast to Win ter scenes up North, and is more appre ciable because it is such a sudden and beautiful change. J. S. Darrow, North Yakima, Wash. The ' rose show, like our fruit exhibits, opens the eyes of tourists and home seekers, and gives them an idea of the great resources of the West. E. Loveland, Caldwell, Idaho The show is the best that I have seen. George H. Jennings, Fort Worth, Tex. In the South we .have nice rose shows but none beats this. W. E. Walthers, The Dalles It has been a very pleasant and enjoyable week. M. B. Snyder. Aberdeen. Wash. It is a great show and well worth any one's time to see it. B. J. Perkman. Seattle Seattle will come to the Rose Festival again. Daniel H. McOollister. Baltimore In the Eai't people would hardly believe that a new country could put up such a great show. Henry L. King. Spokane We know what the Rose Festival is and we always enjoy it. H. Ceperley, Vancouver, B. C. We hear much about the Portland Rose Festival and it is all and more than it is repre sented to be. H. Warren Gould, a municipal architect, Seattle The parades and show were de lightful and do much to promote "the city beautiful" idea. I. Rosenthal, New York It is a beauti ful show. Herman Wise, Astoria The Festival this year was bigger and better than ever. Show Better Each Year. G. B. Small, of the Baker City Demo crat The show gets better every year and is a good advertisement for Ore gon. H. P. Conway, Chicago I came late but enjoyed what was left of the show. D. G.

Ivey, recent arrival fromAlaska, who came to Portland to live I am proud to make my home In the City of Roses. "The Festival is a great show. - H0STS PAY LAST TRIBUTE (Continued From Klrst Page.) promptly that it did the preceding oc caslon. Ten bands were in the line of march, headed by the efficient police musical organization. The police escort ot mounted and infantry police was in tbe van. Cap tain Bailey, on foot, and Captain Baty, In an automobile, were in joint com mand. Blazing with light, the parade turned Into Morrison street, where every avail able foot of standing accommodation was occupied. It did not seem possible that the crowd could be added to in any way. Every stand on the line of route was filled by crowds of people. There was such a demand for seats that the far sighted speculator came into being. A large sum of money was cleared by these gentry who had bought heavily when it was seen the evening was turning out fine. Just because of the element of uncertainty in the weather conditions, the stand men sold a great many tickets in advance. Ruler's Identity Disclosed. In the first float rode His Majesty, Rex Oregonus. His heavy domino of beard was removed and the large crowd cheered to the echo that popular and gallant soldier. General Owen Sum mers. General Summers is United Statjes Appraiser, at the Port of Port land. He is a veteran of the Civil War and was in command of the Second Oregon Regiment at the Philippines. As Rex Oregonus, General Summers has been a popular monarch. His two prede cessors were Master Fishwarden Mc Allister and Dr. Emmet Drake. The Queen of Bees was next in line, her hive glittering and scintillating with light. As Her Majesty fluttered by, showing her respect for His Ma jesty of the Festival, the crowd burst Into long and continued cheering. And so electric picture followed elec tric picture and each display seemed to be more appreciated than the last. In a blaze of light was told how the mon archs of earth came to lay tribute at the feet of the King of the Festival; how Halley's comet followed their ex ample and the queens of mythology and royalty of romance joined in obeisance. Indian durbars and their picturesque elephants, sailed along. A typical Miss Portland was there, too. Then came the goddess of the morning sunlight, the driver of the sun's chariot, Aurora, and last of all eight of the sweetest rosebuds that ever graced a home or rosebush. For the rosebushes were hu man. In place of the pistils of the roses, the heads of eight little misses popped out and nodded up and' down. Rosebuds Are Cheered. Everyone cheered. iu.ost of the moth ers and fathers cheered because the rosebuds reminded them of those at home. As for the others, well, they just cheered for the sake of cheering and because the youngsters were so wholly charming. The Infection spread. People found it was such good fun cheering that they kept It up until they were out of breath. There was more good-hearted laughing and cheering than ever there was on any New Year's night. The weather was warmer and one did not chill in sounding a greeting through the streets. Perhaps that was the reason everyone found It such good fun to be about. Those on the buildings shouted a greeting to those below and those below hurled back merry jests in exchange. The people in automobiles blocked the side streets and the crowd did not grumble for themachine people issued warm invitations to the women to stand on the steps for a better view. Care Thrown to Winds. With that kind of feeling no one wor-. ried about anything.. It was the end of a week's festivities, and if the festival spirit was to be enjoyed, there was only the present in which to enjoy it. Th following day was Sunday, and, anyway, there would be time then for a complete rest. So thought everyone and the re sult was the jollieet crowd that could be met in many a long day's travel. Of course there was noise a great deal of it. But then those who did not appreciate noise stayed at home and read books or played pinochle. But in their heart of hearts they wanted very badly to be with those people on the streets. For the streets there was no dignity. Who could look sober if he were tickled under the nose with a feather? Of course there was a police ruling against it, but' then there are times when the police are conveniently blind and everyone ad mires them the more for it. And those officers who were so - fool ish as to take people to the station felt they might as well have been good-humored, for the captain always delivered a cheery little lecture on the "don't-do-it-again" order, and then turned the young people out on the streets to do just what they were told not to do. Police Cheer I'p. That was because the police captains, too, had acquired the Festival spirit, and even If they were tired a little they took good care none should know it. Police captains, like everybody else, have had their times of merriment when they liked to blow horns and make loud noises. ' As for the young people on the floats, they were too happy for words. In their pretty costumes they were the ad mired of all and many and many a pretty girl wished that she, too. might be a queen or a princess, although It might be only for a night. Who of them cared whether it was chilly. In that blaze of light, surrounded by those thousands of cheering people, each forgot cold and things like that. Instead, It was far better to feel good humored and listen to the music. Crowds Loath to Go. As the night advanced the crowds seemed to increase rather than decrease. They were all so jolly that It seemed a shame to break up the party and go home. The streetcar men clanged their bells loudly as an indication that last car time would soon be at hand, but that did not seem to change things much. It comes only once a year, the people said, and who minds a little thing like a walk home? . Apparently many of them didn't, for a glance at the streets toward morning showed that many had resolved to tramp home Just for the fun of the thing, and because it was unusual and they did it only once a year. A little before that someone suggested they visit the restaurants. Then the fun started there. And as the bands played some sang and some just happily laughed. Toasts were merrily drank to Rex Oregonus, the Rose Festival and to ev eryone and everybody. As the night lengthened the throng still stayed. No one seemed to like to suggest going. Finally they began to go one and two at a time. Soon the streets were deserted.

HE HAS ONLY ONE REGRET Ielay In Starting: Tuesday Xlglit's Parade Dne to Misinformation as to Where Horses, to Draw .Floats, Should Be Sent. Ralph W. Hoyt, president of the Port land Rose Festival Association, which has had charge of the annual Rose Fes tivals practically since their inception, said last night that he believed every one in Portland could not fail to have been satsfied with the Festival and its results. "The Rose Kestival has been the cause of a greater amount of publicity than Portland could possibly obtain any other way," said Mr. Hoyt. "We have enter tained a larger number of people than have ever been in the city before, and we have done it satisfactorily. "The manner in which the crowds were accommodated has been an illustration of Portland's possibilities. I am pleased we have done so well. However, we ought to make preparations now for a still larger crowd next year. Credit Is Due Manager Hutchin. "I think the highest credit Is due to Manager Hutchin for the work on the floats. Everyone is agreed the electric parade has not been surpassed anywhere. His has been the brain behind, this mag nificent pageant, and from the experience he1 has had in other cities he has been able to evolve possibilities hardly yet realized., "Those connected with festivals in other cities have learned of what the float builders . have accomplished bere. and their comments have run to the superla tive. They are willing to concede Port land has outdone them. Therefore, I feel we should be thoroughly satisfied with the entertainment we have provided our visitors, and I am sure they will agree with this sent-iment. "In regard to the criticism we received for starting the parade late Tuesday night, I feel we should have the oppor tunity to set ourselves straight before the public. "The facts are these: Saturday night M. C. Ban field, of Banfleld &. Vesey, and Sam Hermann, of the Draymen's Asso ciation, visited the offices here. They promised to provide S2 horses and as many men. We requested them to send the horses to the fair grounds. In some manner what horses were sent went to Toothacfas Gum I not only .top. f ly, but cleans tho 3 cavity, remoTca all g odor, and prevent decay. Keepasnp. H ply and aave many a A Smell Affair.

At no time has he suggested that we told him the Armory was the rendezvous. "When we got the horses to the expo sition grounds we found that only 70 had been sent, with many men Jess. Right on the ground we had to engage over 40 men, who knew so little about riding that they nearly fell off their horses' broad backs. Many floats went out with but two horses. "Why should we be criticised for what was palpably not out fault? The matter was unfortunate, is all that can be said about it. "In other ways, in our other parades, I am sure the public feels we have more than made good. "The weather conditions have been most propitious, and with the exception of the last day, no possible criticism, other than that already indicated, has been made."
