The parade will be a panorama of the romantic story of the Golden West the coming of the white man, the passing of the aborigine, sowing the seed's of. civilization, the har vest. Floats of historical significance worked out 1n great detail, will tell the story of the humble beginning and the bountiful realization of this domain. The Third Oregon Infantry, acting as a military escort, vrlll give a. martial touch to the column. And all week the festivities will go ahead. Parades, entertainments, recep tions, a grand ball, auto racing, athletic events, one after the other in bewilder ing profusion and all In observance of the reign of roses. Visitors Within the Gates. Portland is not alone Inthe enjoyment of her lavish floral splendor. From far and near the throngs are pouring In to the feast of beauty, every maji, woman and child of them a thrice welcome guest. Last night there was not a room to tbe had at any of the big hotels But the city which entertained half a million people at its World's Fair knows well tie fine .art of municipal hospitality, so that no one was put to any Inconvenience last night because of the crowds, nor will there be any Inconvenience to visit ors. Tne information bureau, conspicu ously placed at the Union depot, will supply quarters to suit all pocketbooks and wants. Entrance of the Festival King, marking the opening moment of the celebration, followed a formal visit of welcome to the naval squadron now In port. Municipal and Festival officials boarded " Admiral Swinburne's flagship, the cruiser Charles ton, assured the officers of the sjquadron of the welcome that is theirs and tendered the Admiral a huge bouquet of roses. The party returned ashore a few minutes be fore noon to witness the departure of the Festival King on his triumphal procession through the city. Rex appeared from no place In par ticular, decorated with a set of artificial blond whiskers and royal raiment which must have been borrowed from a giddy GRANO MARSHAL OF "SPIRIT OP THE GOLDEN WEST" PARADE TONIGHT. Brlgadirr-General W. E. Flnser. V 1 W ft- vn.:- J" ' AV.,' . : rainbow trout. He rode a prancing thor oughbred, and rode well. Just who Rex is must be kept a secret. If possible, so the .Festival workers have agreed. He will parade incognito. All that his subjects! may see is the blond whisk ers aforesaid and the giddy raiment. His feature are effectually concealed. 'With the closing of the Festival he will be unmasked. But until then you are left to guess hia Identity in private life. And since such is his wish, there la notic ing that can be done about it, for he is King. Next week he may be back run ning the elevator once more or reigning at the ribbon counter. But this week he Is King. As noon came on two royal heralds trumpeted the royal salute. Rex waved his scepter and the procession was off. The party was saluted by cannonading from the Charleston, which was the signal for the 'bedlam of sirens along the waterfront. As Rex cleared the wharf three com panies of cadets from the Hill Military Academy fell In behind as a military es cort. : The students were the feature of the procession and their soldierly bearing, fine alignments and . excellent marching won for them liberal rounds of applause. Rex, being a new monarch, was only stared at. Streets Are Crowded. The turnout to witness the royal en trance to the city was a surprise, for the entire line of march was lined with people. The heavy turnouts were hard ly expected before today. Proceeding west on Stark street to Sixth. Rex reigned his steed up that thoroughfare . p-rfw-. " . !vk:y MM?'

The royal party then countermarched on Fourth to Alderand out Alder to the Cornelius Hotel, where his highness Is rooming this week. The King dismounted and quietly made his getaway. L.ast night " was given over to pre parations, although Japanese lanterns and Illuminations were in evldnce at many points in response to a request from the Festival workers that this token of welcome to King and guests be given. Bad Taste In Window Display. Overwhelming success seems assured for the Festival. The fact that yesterr day was election day did not detract to any appreciable extent from the at tendance on the royal procession or the amount of interest displayed. The decorative work, too, kept up without interruption until last night the busi ness section of the city -was fairly swathed in rose and green -bunting and the National colors. Good taste was quite generally used and manyj striking effects in decorative art were attained. Only one breach of good form was observed, and that in a shoe store on Washington street, where some un thinking or unpatriotic person laid the Stars and Stripes on the floor "of the show window and littered its surface with shoes "symbolical of walking on the American flag," as one Indignant patriot declared. Unless the disgrace I, v. t """2- ful spectacle is remedied by today a delegation of Spanish - American War veterans will await on the offending shoe dealer. Never before have such elaborate deco rations been seen in the East Side busi ness district. Out Burnside street, all along Grand and Union avenues and along East Morrison and Kast Washing ton streets streamers and flags hang in myriads. Even the telephone and elec tric wire poles are draped in yellow and white cheesecloth. Roses for Visitors. The Peninsula district took up its com mendable task of supplying roses to vis-' I itors to the city yesterday. Kepresenta tlves of tha Peninsula Festival Assocla-H tion gave away 1000 boutonieres and cor sage bouquets of roses. This associa tion" has a small army of workers at work In the Peninsula district gathering roses. The blooms are forwarded to the distributing committee at tfce Union Depot ee rapidly as culled. The arch of welcome at -the depot was all but completed last night, and, with a few finishing touches today, will be ready for service. It Is of staff and symbolical of the Rose Festival. The roses at the Exposition may be seen as early as 10 o'clock today, al though the Judging will not be taken up until afternoon.

During the afternoon the Charleston and the Yorktown were opened for visit ors and the crowds exceeded those of Sunday.

Up to the time the vessel was cleared for the night not a single accident was reported. The York town also was crowded during the entire afternoon by sightseers. Yesterday was pay day on the ships and officers and men were busy. ?'he paymaster was the most popular man in the Navy and he proceeded to dole out the money to high and low with th rapidity of a bank cashier.
