quets; Women Get Candy.
Literally showered with roses by
helr hosts, the delegations who came

of entertainment at the Rose Festival.
Huge boxes of cut roses, single bou
quets, roses by the basketful, roses
by the automobile load, the very finest
and freshest that the private rose gar
dens of hundreds of Portland residences
could afford, had been delivered at the
headquarters of the Royal Rosarians
at the Multnomah Hotel, in response
to an appeal from Frank McCrillis,
chairman of the Royal Rosarian com
mittee, for Saturday.
The first large party to leave the
city was a delegation of the knights
of the Pasadena tournament and
women, who left on the midnight train
Friday, returning to California. O. C.
Bortzmeyer. chairman of the Friday
committee, and the women's commit
tee on entertainment sent down to the
train boxes of candy and bouquets of
Caroline Tes touts for each woman in
the party, and decorated the interior
of tlit cars with roses.
Mr. McCrillis was at headquarters
early yesterday with members of his
committee to march to the Union Sta
tion and bid farewell to the Pasadena
delegation, which departed over the
O.-W. R. & N. to go north and sail
for Alaska.
I ruin Rone-IJedecked.
Great armfuls of roses were borne
to the' station by the Rosarians and
given to the departing Pasadena people,
while the interior of the observation
car was decked throughout with rose
blossoms and evergreens.
Boxes of candy for all of the women
in the party were sent by the women's
-ntertalnment committee of the Royal
Rosarians.
Out of the great banks of roses the
committees made up bouquets of beau
tiful Caroline Testouts, and one was
sent to the room of every Oakland man
and woman at the Oregon Hotel. Boxes
of candy were sent up for the women.
All through the forenoon the great
bank of roses that was massed upon
the tables on the mezzanine floor of
the Multnomah grew greater and
greater, despite the auto leads that
were taken from it by the committee
In serving its departing guests.
The women's committee kept in
formed as to the expected departures,
and every party departing was escorted

roses that could, be carried, and boxes

the evening the gueuts from Oakland
witnessed the electric pageant, closing
the week's festivity, and then held an
informal farewell reception at the Ore

Participation of Portland Organiza
tion in Parades and Pageantry,
Despite Numerous Social
Demands, Emphasized.
After a week of Incessant activity In
the role of hosts to all organized parties
of visitors who attended the Rose
Festival, the Royal Rosarians are
resting today, with the consciousness
of a week of good work well per
formed.
The marching delegations of Oakland,
Pasadena and Seattle and the Radia
tors from Eugene, the representatives
of the Portola end others, have formed
one of the chiefest features of the Fes
tival entertainments and there has not
been a single event during the week
in which some or all of them have not
been represented.
'Without the guests from the other
cities," Is the common opinion expressed
throughout the city, "the entertain
ments of the Festival would have been
incalculably less attractive."
Tr.ls sentiment, prevailing in the city.
matter or self-congratulation
among the Royal Rosarians, for the
reason that practically every organized
delegation which visited in Portland
this week came in response to the in
vitations of the Rosarians and became
interested in the Festival through the
activities of the Rosarians.
Return Visits Paid.
The two leading California delega
tions frankly came to return the visit
made them by the Rosarians last Jan
uary. The "Royal Oaks," of Oakland,
and the "Knights of the Rose Tourna
ment" of Pasadena, were organized
along lines similar to and for purposes
similar to those of the Rosarians. The
Portola representation came as San
Francisco's recognition of th visit paid
by the Rosarians during 1 the January
trip to California. The Potlatch was
visited by the Rosarians also last Sum
mer, and this year the Tlllicums sent
for the "Night in Rosarla" pageant
Wednesday night, a greater represen
tation than they have ever had in Port
land before. Their special float was
also entered in the automobile parade.
Two days were passed In Portland by
the Eugene Radiators whose organiza
tion was Inspired by and modeled after
that of the RosaTians.
The contributions of the visitors
themselves to the Festival were in
numerable. It was the brilliant uni
forms and enthusiasm of the Oakland.
Pasadena, and Spokane delegations,
with their monarchs, which made the
ceremonv at the Armory on the opening
night the most striking and successful
in the history of the Rose festival.
Royal Oaks Active.
The Royal Oaks" high school boy's
band proved a welcome feature and
acted as an escort, for the Rosarians
throughout the week. The Oakland
drill squad appeared in nearly every
parade and Its representatives were
foremost in the Hands Lp and jjown
the Coast" movement which was
launched Friday.
Pasadena also gave invaluable aid in
the pageantry of the week with her
scarlet coated knights, her section in
the horse and vehicle parade being the
largest and most striking of all. The
reception by the Pasaoena party -at tne
Multnomah Hotel, Wednesday, was one
of the largest and most striking or the
social affairs of the entire week. The
Radiators, last of the delegations to
reach the city, nevertheless made them
selves indispensable in the pageantry
of the last few days.
The Rosarians were represented In all
of the leading parades of the week, in
spite of the many social demands that
were upon them owing to the presence
of their visitors. In spite of the multi
plicity of demands that the week made
upon them, however, the Rosarians had
perfected their organization in prepara
tion for tne festival so wen mat bucu
of the entertainment of the week as
was in their hands moved without a
single drawback or feature to mar it.

among rife-long friends. The feeling
crated by these two meetings is such
as to be a perpetual reminder of this
week in Portland and will add much
to our obligations to her royal people.
And last, but not least, among the
benefits of our visit is the opportunity
it gave us to know exactly how far
our energetic chairman, Fred E. Reed,
could go in absorbing (officially, of
course) the hospitality extended, and
though he was mighty hard pressed
we are as well pleased , with the man

are unanimous in agreeing with the
expression of many of Fred's Portland
admirers that he Is some chairman.

GEORGE BANCROFT FOUND
Isi - Exposure of Three Days Re
covery Is Expected.
It was reported to the Sheriffs of
fice from Garden Home yesterday that
George Bancroft, who disappeared
Tuesday from the home of his brother
near that place while under the influ
ence of delusions induced by a nervous
breakdown, was found lyln helpless
In a gully yesterday morning. He had
been exposed to the elements three
days, but the message received at the
Sheriffs office was to the effect that
physicians expect him to recover.
George Bancroft is a son of F. A.
Bancroft, former postmaster In Port
land. He has been employed as a cleric
In the United States custom-house here.
A few weeks ago he quit because of
illness and went to his brother's home
at Garden Home for a rest, hoping to

(Vice-President of the Commercial Club, of
Oakland. Cal.)
The visit of the Royal Oaks to Port
land was arranged entirely by a com
mittee of the Oakland Commercial Club
and the trip was made under its aus
pices, therefore the club as an organi
zation has not been to the fore in any
of the festivities. As vice-president
and ranking officer of the club here
present, I feel that the organization
should express its appreciation of the
reception accorded o Its auxiliary
body. I cannot do better than to de
scribe it as a wonderful week. When
the Rosarians, after their recent visit
to Oakland, "jollied" us into the belief
that they owed us something in return
for the ordinary courtesy due and ex
tended them as guests, we determined
to even up accounts bv taking them
at their word. The result has been that
the balance of the account has swung
so far in their favor that we probably
will have to seek relief in the insolv
ency courts. This will not be done,
however, before every individual who
has been a member of our party has
completely exhausted his means and
his energy in an effort to repay the
tremendous obligation.
As broad-minded hosts, I know the
people of Portland will not want the
benefits of their hospitality confined
to the entertainment features and I
believe they will be pleased to know
that the visit of the Royal Oaks has
been of immeasurable value in making
manifest to ourselves many things we
did not know. We came all this dis
tance to learn that the people of Pasa
dena, in our own state, were abso
lutely with us. This might have been
determined In some other way. but it
had not been up to the time of our
visit to Portland, where the revelation
took place.
Then the meeting here with the good
fellows from Eugene, after an hour or
two passed with them en route, was
a reunion which might have been one
SHRINERS GO TO POW-WOW

One of the biggesfe pilgrimages yet

Temple of the Mystic Shrine, of Port
land, will be that to Spokane Tuesday

Al Kader band.
The trip will be made by special train

The visitors will live on the train

day night over the North Bank and
will speed through in record time to
Spokane, arriving there at 8 o'clock

The Nobles will spend the day and

celebration. Among other things part
will be taken in the parade and a num
ber of Masonic doings of the day and
'evening. The special train will leave
Spokane at 2 o'clock Thursday morning
arriving in Portland at noon the same
day.
D. G. Tomasini. potentate of the Port
land Temple, says he has assurance of
a large delegation on the train and
says a big time will be provided during
tne trip. Arrangements are being made
for various "doings" on board the
train during the homeward trip and
during the first hour or so of the
pilgrimage from Portland to Spokane.
TO DEPARTING FESTIVAL GUESTS.
BT IXEAN COT, T, TN8.
Vanished Is Hex Oregonus
From festival realms of the Rose;
Vanished the miracles shown us
When Fairyland's gateways unclose:
But still on the breezes that flurry and shift.
The light-whirling rose petals flutter and drift
And Incense of rose blossoms blows.
Ended the week of our playing
In rose-painted realms of the Kins;;
Bright as the sweet petals straying.
The festival memories cling;
And Time, though he speed like the flash o' the sun.
Not faster, not freer, not further can run
Than our light-hearted mem'rles can wing.
Oh comrades, who Joined with us gaily.
To bow at the shrine of the rose,
Struck hands unto hands with us dally.
The joys of our festival close.
And "Hall!" and "Farewell!" cry you all, one by one;
A handclasp in parting; a smile It la done;
You go as the rose blossom goes.
Again to the Southland fs calling
Fair Oakland the choice of her men;
From bright Pasadena is falling
The call for her knights to our ken;
The North summons back the proud sons of her boast.
Farewell! But our hands stretching out o'er the Coast
Must draw us together again.

pleasure It had afforded him and

averred that the staff were full-fledged
members of all degrees In that asso

So far as visitors were concerned yes
terday afternoon was one of the best
attended of the week and despite show
ers thousands accepted discomforts on
water In order to make a farewell call.
During the morning there were many
to go through the ship as guests of
the officers. No part of the vessel was
closed to sightseers, save such compart
ments as are denied inspection by per
sons outside of the service. When the
big vessel gets under way this morn
ing it will be a disappointment to
hordes who regarded her as one of the
leading attractions of the Rose Festival.
