more elaborate than any of the festival
parades of a year ago. 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

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

to Yamhill, thence east to Fourth and
south on Fourth to the City Hall, where
Mayor Iane turned over the keys of
the city to the Lord High Chamberlain
of Rex's suite. 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. Forty committees of
women were engaged In gathering blooms
for this exhibit during yesterday, and
effective work was done by all.

JIayor La no Makes Address.

which he again welcomed the Charleston

cers that they would be taken care of to
the best of the ability of the citizens of

the Pacific Coast, one at San Diego and
the other at Portland. - The committee
left the ship shortly before 11 o'clock.
During the afternoon the Charleston
and the Yorktown were opened for visit
ors and the crowds exceeded those of
Sunday. Launches of every description
were pressed Into service and each did a
thriving business. Customs officers were
on duty at every landing for the purpose
of enforcing the regulations regarding
overloading of passenger craft. At the
foot of Stark street Captain Speier and
assistants exercised a strict vigilance.
Customs officers and marines were also
kept busy at the float which is moored
at the Charleston. 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
