Arrived at the Armory, the visiting pioneers will be welcomed by a reception committee and escorted to the assembly hall on the second floor, where a literary pro gramme will be rendered. Mayor Lane will deliver the address of welcome, to which J. D. Lee, vice-president of the Pioneer Association, will respond. Vo cal music will be rendered, and orches tral selections will be given by Par sons' orchestra. Another Interesting number on the programme will he the annual address of George H.

In the evening the annual business meeting will be held. This will be followed by another social, at which R. A. Miller will preside. It will be enlivened by campflre talks, interspersed with vocal and Instrumental music The event that bids fair to prove a surprising revelation to the residents Of Portland and the many visitors will be the Rose Show and Fiesta, which opens Thursday. The committees in charge of this festival already are as sured by the Interest shown that this fiesta will prove among the most suc cessful ever held on the Pacific. Coast. The exhibition of Portland's matchless roses, lasting two days, will open in the Forestry building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. In the afternoon there will be a children's parade. In which 3000 pupils of the public schools will participate. This parade will move promptly at J:S0 o'clock, and the line of march will be: North on Park to Salmon, east on Salmon to Sixth, north on Sixth to Pine, east on Pine to Fourth, south on Fourth to the reviewing Miejid on Sal mon, facing Fourth: continue south on Fourth to Madison, east on Madison to Third and disperse. Four bands will appear 1 the procession. Ten cups have been offered as prizes to the schools making the -tiest appearance. Fiesta Parade Friday. The grand fiesta parade, for which prizes aggregating $4000 In value have been offered, will be given Friday afternoon. The parade will move promptly at 3 o'clock, under the direc tion of Colonel Charles ,E. McDonnell. The line of march will be: Head of column at Tenth and Couch, south on Eleventh to Morrison, east to Third, north to Burnslde, west to Sixth, south to Washington, west to Nineteenth. At this point all marching participants who destre may take cars to the For estry building: auttfmobtles. floats, car riages, etc., will continue to Fair Grounds via west on Washington to Twenty-first, north to Lovejoy, west to Twenty-second, north to Marshall, west to Twenty-fourth, north to Savler, west to Twenty-eighth, north on Twenty eighth Into the Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds. Two solid miles is to be the length of the rose fiesta parade. There will be enough of It to reach from The Ore gonlan office out past the city park If formed In a straight line. This estimate was made yesterday at fiesta headquar ters and Involves a complicated mathe matical stunt, based on the number of applications for space now on hand, and the number that are assured. Even now, space has been set apart for 35 floats, ahcreas the Mardl Gras of New Orleans has never been able to boast more than 51. Twenty-five positions have likewise been awarded to automobiles, although the automobile applications are only be ginning to appear. It Is known that there will be no fewer than ltfO automobiles In line and a like number of other ve hicles. The ten bands will occupy five blocks and with an average1 of seven or eight vehicles to the block. It Is quite plain that the estimated length of the parade is quite conservative. That the hailstorm of last Wednesday will in no wise affect the fiesta, la as serted by the management. Florists say there was no damage to buds. In- fact, it was declared by those competent to Judge that the moisture of last week will prove a boon for rose show week, bringing rose blooms out in vast num bers precisely at the time they are most needed. The Chinese colony is taking a lively Interest In the affair. Not only have the Chinese merchants made liberal con tributions to the carnival fund, but sev eral hundred Chinamen are now organiz ing to appear In the parade. They will wear brilliant Oriental costumes and will be one of the features of the parade. While pink and green are the official colors of the fiesta, other colors are al lowable In decorations. The committee on decorations decided yesterday that a variety of colors will be permlssable. In asmuch as the decorations can be used later for the Independence day festivi ties. Plans for Saturday, the last day of the carnival have been announced and the closing day will be an eventful one. At 3 P. M. the Flower Mission day nursery will give a benefit ball game to be played between the bankers on one side and a picked nine of lawyers and doctors on the other. The game will be preceded by a big automobile parade. Saturday night there will be a novelty in the way of an illuminated baseball game between Portland and Spokane railway men. The fire department will likewise enliven the night by a practice run up a street to be announced later. The fire apparatus will be Illumined with red fire. , Advertisers Will Speak. Coincident with the Rose Show and Fiesta, the annual meeting of the Ore gon Development League will be held. Thursday evening at the Commercial Club a business meeting of the officers of the league will be held. At 9 o'clock Friday morning the principal session will be called to order In the Marquam the ater. The Idea of an extended programme of long speeches has been abandoned at this meeting, which will be devoted large ly to practical talks by expert advertis ers from different sections of the state, who will detail the methods they em ployed In accomplishing satisfactory re sults In exploiting the resources of their respective localities and attracting imml gratlqn and outside capital. The real purpose of the meeting is to acquaint the. representatives of the vari ous commercial organizations throughout the state with this work of exploitation and to encourage a general movement of this character all over the Btate. This meeting of the Development League, it is expected, will be attended by representatives from each of the 70 commercial organizations In the state that are affiliated with the league. Among the successful advertisers who will ad dress the convention are C. C. Chapman, of Portland: Peter Loggle, president of the North Bend Chamber of Commerce; John H. Whyte, secretary of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, and B. F. John son, of Corvallis, president of the Ben ton County Citizens' League. Friday afternoon the delegates - will view, the Fiesta parade and In the even ing will be the guests at an organ recital by Edgar H. Coursen, at the First Pres byterian Church. The sessions of the cbnvention will be concluded Saturday. Good weather Is forecasted by the weather man for the Rose Show and Fiesta, and this means an abundance of new-blown roses. An information and accomodation bu reau for the convenience of visitors to the city has been established at the Hotel Portland. Those having rooms to rent are requested to address the "Rose Car nival Accommodation Bureau," care of the hotel, giving the number of rooms they have available, the price, number of street, how reached and If supplied with a phone, give the number.

He gazed about and saw the shades were still drawn and gas jets were still burning. The clock Aid 10. "That must be night or morning," he mused to himself with uncertainty of voice. His mouth was fuzzy, his throat parched and his head splitting. Last I remember 'somebody was singing: Manning-. Manning, I've been thinking What a fine town this would be If all the gln-rollta In creation "Gee! I forget the last line; but it was good, anyhow. "Let's see; where was I last night or when was it?

He said: Well, murmurs one, let whoever will now buy. - My clay with long oblivion 4s gone dry. But fill me with the old familiar Juice, Methlnks I might recover by and by- "Great stuff, that. Wonder what it means?" Tank got up and while lie was moor ing his collar to an elusive shirt button, he remembered something about four earthquakes, each of which had cost him a bottle of beer which he had started home. with. "Four earthquakes in one night. That's a record, but I'm glad this ain't a closed town. Me for a suisesse, quick. Guess I'll call up Charley and tell him to "nave one ready when I get there.

Some fellow was saying last night somewhere: " 'I'm not. aa yon know, an Inquisitive nan But I've puzzled my head to know why Manning is sore at the booze shops In town And Portland's so deucedly dry.'

Tank looked at his watch and after a few minutes fine calculation he decided he had Just time to catch the next Ore gon City car. He didn't wait to find out what had happened since he left town at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, but somehow or other he got the Idea that the lid was on In Portland and he was awfully thirsty. Portland's first Sunday in the sarsa parifta zone was tough on the Tribe of Tank. All bets were off. NO. SIX OF A SERIES OF THUMB-NAIL SKETCHES MADE IN ROSE CITY PARK BY FRED A. ROUTLEDGE i THIS IS a busy morning in Rose City Park. The grading teanis are busily at work and the cries of the men and the tramp of the horses make one feel as though there were more things going on in Rose City Park than anywhere else in the city.- It is true. Street grading was never carried on on a larger scale than it is in Rose City Park. Every street will be a boule vard. It will be a delight to have such streets as will invite the best class of equipages. Rose City Park will, undoubtedly, prove to be a favorite spot for all who love to drive or ride horseback. This is so valuable a point that it must not be overlooked. Wherever people drive they observe. Observations made in Rose City Park will always be favorable. They cannot be other wise. You will hear such remarks as this: "My, but this is a beautiful place to live." , And this disposi tion on the part of the better class to make such remarks merely indicates their wish that at some future time they may build in Rose City Park as well. Street grading is impor- x tant. There will be no finer streets , in Portland than will be found in Rose City Park. Then, again, these street improvements ,are all included in the price you pay for your lots. They will never cost you any more. ROSE FIESTA AND CONVEN TION OF OREGON DEVELOP MENT LEAGUE JUNE 19 TO 22 HARTMAN & THOMPSON Chamber of Commerce BANKERS Ground Floor PUN TO PROTECT LIS OREGON CITY COUNCIL TAKING ACTION AGAINST RAILROAD. Mayor Sends Message Pointing Out Dangerous Condition of Cross . ing to Pedestrians. OREGON CITY, Or., June 16. (Spe cial.) In an effort to establish a con dition that will probably be the means of saving lives, Mayor E. Q. Caufleld has transmitted to the city council a message advising the enactment of an ordinance to compel the Southern Pa cific Company to place gates at the Tenth-street crossing, where Singer Hill leads Into Main street, and also at Moss street, where hundreds of school children pass daily on their way to and from the Barclay school. The Mayor has had this movement in mind for many months, but being aware that the railroad company con templated the construction of an over head team and pedestrian crossing a Tenth street, he has deferred action until now. Several lives have been lost at the Tenth-street crossing, and many injuries have been sustained, and; the element .of danger has long been recognized by everyone who is .at all familiar with the situation. The com pany has also had Its attention drawn to the situation a number of times by suits for damages and claims settled on account of accidents at this cross ing. There is no question of the sincer ity of the company in endeavoring to procure an overhead crossing, but up to this time It has been unable to agree on satisfactory terms with the property-owners and as it is a well-known fact that large corporations move very( slowly In such matters, it may be a long time before their plans are car ried out. The growth of the country and town has - increased the team travel greatly, and the time has arrived when the city will take measures necessary to pro tect the lives of those whose business makes it necessary for them to cross the railroad at dangerous points. May or Caufleld says the city cannot afford to delay the matter longer and take chances of having a repetition of the shocking accidents that have already happened on these crossings. was allowed the supporters of the movement to bring It before the dis trict boundary board. UNION SCHOOIi IS DOUBTFUL Certain Clackamas Sections Object to Provisions in Petition. OREGON CITY, Or., June 16. (Spe cial.) The fate of the proposed Union High School will be known tomorrow night- after the annual meetings are held in tire districts of West Oregon City, Canemah, Mount Pleasant, Park place and Willamette. The vote on the question in this district will be taken in the afternoon of Monday, at the same time as the election of a di rector. It is believed that the project will be carried by large majorities In Oregon City, West Oregon City, Mount Pleasant and Canemah, but Willamette and Parkplace are doubtful, and it is feared the latter district will go heavi ly against the movement, as many property-owners of Parkplace are op enly antagonistic because of the clause In the petition for the establishment of the school, making it mandatory for the Union School to be located in the Barclay building at Oregon City. There is no opposition to having the school situated in this city, but the particular place is objected to on the ground that the best interests of the project de mand that the Union School be kept entirely separate and apart from the district school. Two rooms in the Bar clay building were offered for one year by the local board of directors for the use of the Union High School, as the petitions must state the exact location of the school, and there was no other site available In the short time that Willi SCREAM AT HOOD RIVER Preparations on Foot to.

ABOLISH JOB OP PRINCIPAL Oregon City Takes This Method of Doing Away With Friction. OREGON CITY, Or.. June 16. (Spe cial.) The board of directors of the City School has abolished the office of principal of the Barclay building, be cause of the friction that has resulted from the conditions existing there. The office of the City Superintendent of the Schools is in this building, and the conflict of authority between the prin cipal of the school and the City Super intendent cannot well be avoided, no matter who fill the respective offices. The City Superintendent will here after be principal of the Barclay build ing and an additional High School teacher will be employed to instruct the ninth grade. The corps of teach ers for the coming year will be elected tomorrow night, immediately after the annual school meeting.
