Visitors to the Rose Show Tuesday and yesterday found an additional at traction in the Coos County building, where members of the Young Women's Christian Association served delicious lunches and dispensed home-made candy, ice cream and souvenirs, many of the latter being hand-made and of the "unobtainable-elsewhere" variety. The veranda of the Oregon building was effectively decorated with Scotch broom and fir, which formed an excel lent background for the soda fountain and candy booths with their charming attendants. The money raised in this way by th Association is to be devoted to the furnishing of the new cottage at Gearhart, donatedby Marshall Kin ney. This cottage will serve as a vaca tion home for business girls, a place where tired workers can secure a rest ful and Invigorating holiday, pleasant companionship, and home-like sur roundings, at an exceedingly moderate cost.

Mr. Kleeman had simply attached to the twigs different-colored paper roses. All day yesterday people were examining this tree covered with roses. Some went away mystified, while others saw through the deception. Yesterday two strangers, evidently, were walking along Grand avenue, when their attention was attracted by the pear tree full of red roses. They stopped and argued for some time over the spectacle, when they started across the street to make a closer inspection. They were sooon undeceived and laughed heartily over the deception. It is one of the at tractions on Grand avenue. O. A. C. Cadets In Parade Today.

Every ripple was resplendent with re fleeted colors when the water procession moved up the Willamette at 8:30 P. M. It was an Inspiring sight the wealth of coloring from the colored powder and rockets duplicated in the water. ' There was a mile of the procession and it was the most remarkable marine pageant ever witnessed by Portland. At least 50 canoes and launches were used in illumination work and the river was transformed to a dream picture of rav ishing colors. Everyone in Portland boasting a launch or motor-boat took part providing illu minations and decorations. The column was well-managed throughout. Neptune and the water nymphs entertained in a fashion which made the "Venetian water carnival and procession an easy feature of the Rose Festival week. The royal barge, brilliantly illuminat ed and bearing the Festival King, Rex Oregonus, and Queen Flora, headed thb marine procession. Close in the wake came barges from which veritable vol canos of fireworks lighted up the water in brilliant colors. A picked band of 40 pieces occupied a barge which escorted the royal party. Decorations on Water Craft. Japanese and Chinese lanterns predom inated in the boat decorations, appearing in profusion on every craft. Never was the Willamette used to better advantage In a festival event. Several river steam ers, liberally decorated, appeared in line, PACIFIC although the larger river craft was ex cluded owing to the heavy wash which follows in the wake of these large boats affording possible danger to smaller craft. Threatening weather did not affect the enthusiasm either of participants or spectators: When the 'marine pageant moved from the head of Swan Island a few 'minutes after scheduled time, every open dock was swept by the festival crowds. The bridges were crowded so that traffic was all but im possible for a time. Thousands of peo ple took up a position north of the east approach of the Steel bridge, lin ing the railroad tracks and the bluff. Other thousands, unable to get on the bridges and docks, took up their stand on the bluffs a short distance l.elow Ross Island. Parade Ends at Ross Island. The procession moved slowly and ex uded its pyrotechnic splendor along the entire route. It started in a flood HOLIDAY TO BE OBSERVED TODAY. - This, being the principal day of the Rose Festival, win be a business holiday In Portland. The wholesale grocers will keep their stores closed all day. Trading on .Front street will cease at 10 A. M ' At a meet ing ot the Produce Merchants' As sociation yesterday morning it was decided to keep the places of busi ness open until that time to take care of strawberries and other per ishable produce, and then close the doors, so all employes may witness the parade and the automobile races. As today is not a legal hol iday, the banks will be open as usual. of illumination and ended with a pro fuse pyrotechnic display at Ross Island. It was' nearly 10:30 o'clock before the last craft in the procession reach Ross Island. At that place the organization ended and the individual craft returned to their mooring places at will. Scores of people landed at Ross Island, the shores of which were marked by Japa nese lanterns. The naval flotilla was specially il luminated and decorated for the water procession and saluted the pagent with siren blasts and music. Steam sirens all along the riverfront joined in the medley of salute, adding much to the animation of the beautiful picture. The utility of the Willamette for festival purposes was forcefully demonstrated and water processions are destined to figure more and more prominently in the festive affairs of the future. BABIES TO SELL. "ot Quite New, Just a Little Used, Enough to Show Character and Develop Sweet Voices. A new baby naturally creates excite ment and interest but it's the baby that has developed somewhat that holds at tention five or six months a year, then they are at their best. Few people, if any, have too many babies we are the one exception have more than we have room for all fine babies too best in the world. Chickering babies, the small grands, this one in particular cost $900 but finan cial stringency last Winter caused a sacrifice by the, owner end now it must be sold at much less than actual worth present price quoted on application at our store. The Steck, Richard Wagner's and Liszt's favorite instrument, is here in a small or baby grand, that sells In New York and elsewhere at JSCO, this one has had but very little use. It's like new,, if taken at once J533 will send it home. In addition to above we have several "baby" and small grands, used but not abused, big values at little prices,' to make room for "in coming" shipments. Savings on these beautiful instruments run not less than a third, enough to in terest anyone needing a grand. A call at the store will convince the most skeptical buyer that we are selling "babies" at about half value. Bilers Piano House, 353 Washington street, corner Park. San Pedro Shipping Notes.

GIG CROWDS 08 WARSHIPS JAM SO GREAT OFFICERS CLOSE GANGWAYS. Xo Persons Allowed to Go on Board After 3 P. M Charleston Beau tifully Illuminated at Night. Officers of the cruiser Charleston and the gunboat Torktown were forced to close the gangways of the vessels at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and refuse to admit any more visitors to the ships. Crowds and crowds of sightseers, con veyed in every available craft, went to the warships yesterday and by early afternoon the capacity of every vessel in the harbor was taxed to the limit. At the foot of Stark street, where launches land, the Jam was so great that it required the combined efforts of Captain Speier. the harbormaster, and three assistants to keep order and pre vent accidents. The customs officials had all they could attend to and a num ber of launch owners were taken to task GIRLS for exceeding the passenger limit. Own ers of these craft -were warned and a second offense will result in their license being taken away. The Charleston is decorated with elec tric lights, and last night the cruiser was illuminated in a manner which would stir the patriotic feelings of any one. From water line to truck there Is not an available inch which was not utilized for decoration. The entire out line of the vessel was shown in electric lights and the masts, stem and stern, were similarly decorated. The name "Charleston" in letters six feet high stands around the pilot-house and for- wara Drmge. In addition, to the display of lights, the searchlight of the cruiser played all the evening, adding greatly to the general effect. A committee from the East Side Busi ness Men's Ch:b visited the Charleston yesterday and invited the captain to send a detail of sailors to take part in the parade on the East Side tonight. The captain received the committee cordially, and said that while he could not order the men to join the parade, yet he would recommend that they do so. It is thought that a considerable detach ment will turn out. and if it does it will add very much to the interest of the occasion. Home Phone on Warships. Home telephones have been Installed on the war vessels in the local harbor through the courtesy of the Portland Home Telephone Company. By means of these instruments on each vessel, the officers and mm on board can call up friends in the city or the other siiips. An automatic telephone has also been placed in the Rose Festival Information bureau tent at the Union Depot by the management of the local company. Numbers of these telephones, which are temporary and will be maintained only during the Rose Fes tival, are as follows: Rose Carnival Information bureau tent.
