Port,an''- the rose domain, outdoes herself in some festival of roses of future years. In point of quality and profusion no such display of roses has ever been as sembled as that which will delight the favored of Portland and their quests today and tomorrow, at the Kxposltlon grounds. Every rose among the tens of thousands on exhibit repre sents a proud attainment on the part of those hundreds of amateur rose rpwers In Portland who find that their most. delightful pastime and engage ment. The exhibitors were busy all jay yesterday getting their roses ef fectively arranged at the Exposition grounds, so that by 2 o'clock this af ternoon the public will find the whole In readiness for Inspection. The show Mill be continued tomorrow. Electrical Parade Tonight. Ttesplendent in myriad lights, rich colors and spectacular illumina tion and decorative effects, the elec trical parade of tonight will be the Itrst of the kind ever presented here and possibly the most elaborate of Its type seen anywhere on earth. It will be one of the distincltve features of Festival week. As the royal suite and train of His Royal Majesty, the Festival King, the rageant will express. In a wonderful allegory, the fine things of the Rose Kings domain. Heading- all will be the Imperial car. sumptuously appointed, hearing Rex Oregonus and his court In their physical embodiment. Twelve thousand Incandescent lights have been used In the Illuminations of the cars of the imperial suite. In finite pains and no little cash have been required in building up the 16 floats on ordinary car trucks. Street cars had to be dismantled for the pur pose and a corps of skilled workmen have put In several weeks of hard work. The pageant will move promptlv at 8 o'clock from Morrison and Nine teenth streets, the point of assemblage. The line of march Is necessarily lim ited lo streets on which there are streetcar tracks, since all the floats will move by trolley. Passing down Morrison street past the grandstand, the pageant wll turn north at Third street, proceed to the Union Depot, turn west to Fifth street, proceed south to Washington nnd pass out Washing ton to Nineteenth, where the course terminates. Here Is the list of floats In the Im perial suite, together with a summary of the things they symbolize, as re visited yesterday by the Festival man agement: l'lonts in Imperial Suite.

This pageant will move promptly at 2 P.

"A battle in the sky" a spectacular display In modern fireworks Is set down for after dark at The Oaks Park. Horse and Vehicle Pageant. Thursday's horse and vehicle parade, which is to cover something near five miles, will be quite as elaborate an event in the matter of decorations as the auto mobile parade. It will move at 2 P. M. forming on the streets west of Tenth and south of Yamhill streets and covering the principal streets of the city. The most spectacular parade of the week will be held Thursday night when the illuminated display of the Oregon country's reeourc.es will Ue assembled into a pageant two miles long and wonderfully illuminated by all manner of devices.

SINGS ON BIG STAND SWEDISH CHORUS TAKES PAUT IX FESTIVAL OPENING. Numerous Numbers Are I-oudly Ap plauded, Climax Coming With American National Anthem. ' Seated near the southwest corner of the big grandstand In front of the postoffice last night, the members of the Swedish Singing Club Columbia were the cynosure of all eyes and their singing of patriotic songs was loudly applauded. ,The sing ers wore Jaunty caps and suits of white and black and sang without accompani ment .their leader being C. E. Holt. The massed voices were well balanced and the musical renditions were marked by excellent spirit and lots of light and shade. It was a pleasure to hear stir ring music Interpreted by such well trained voices, and the wish was freely expressed that the singers would sing all the selections they knew and then begin again. It made one wish that he knew Swedish. The selections sung were "Svearne's March,' "Bjorneborgarne's March ' Chimes" (Theo. Preston), "Hoross !x" (G. VVennerberg). "Tyst Mitt Hjarta" (BarttO. "Altonen" (Schaeffer). "Sta Stark' (G. "Wennerberg), and "The Star frpangled Banner." The second number in the list Is the Finnish national song and the fourth the Swedish national an them. Of course these aroused greet enthusiasm, but the climax came when the singers rendered the National an them of the United States. The singers were applauded again and again as they left the grandstand.

ONE FEATURE OF HOMECOMING DAY ; e't FLOAT OF UKDER OF EAGLES GUESTS ARE LEGION Portland Host for Thousands of Festival Visitors. HOTELS FILLED TO LIMIT Not Since Exposition Have Such l arge . Throngs of People Made This City Their Mecca Rates Remain the Same. Not since the days of the Lewis and Clark Exposition have visitors been thronging Into the city In such num bers as for the Rose Festival. Prac tically every room in every hotel and In most of the rooming-houses was occupied long before dark yesterdav. The restaurants were filled to capacity during meal hours. And thousands of the city's guests were with friends and relatives at private houses. No estimate can be' placed authori tatively on the number of visitors fur ther than to say it runs well into the thousands. The visitors began arriv ing Saturday, came in throngs Sun dey and kept pouring In with every train yesterday. The occasion of the early Influx was the desire to attend the "Homecoming Festivities." Many were the happy family reunions . ves terday as the result of the "homecom ing' feature of the programme. The visitors, for the most part, are drawn from the less remote sections of f,.atate" A SOOdy percentage of the Willamette Valley's populace is either represented at this time or is en route or planning to come. The Rmithom Pacific trains from -the-south are util- ' Izing extra rolling stock in its ef- j fort to handle the passenger traffic ' and even then considerable overcrowd- I Ing and some discomfort is being ex- As far as Portland is concerned, it is no work at all to take oare of the Fes tival guests. The city learned the trick of entertainment In 1905 and has for gotten nothing. Hotels' and restaur ants are using the same rates as usual.

As guests of the Commercial Club and the Rose Festival management the visit ing Chicago business 'men who are due to arrive Thursday by special train, will have a busy day In Portland. Every hour in the day will be occupied by one form or other of entertainment. The programme mapped out for the day's entertainment starts the moment the special train bringing the Chlcagoans comes to a standstill in the Union De pot. A large committee will be in wait ing to escort the excursionists to auto mobiles and drive the guests over the city. Twenfy-slx automobiles have been enlisted. The trip will start at 8 o'clock and the visitors will be driven first through the wholesale district of the city. Then they will be taken to the Forestry building and to the California building on the fair grounds, where a private exhi bition of Portland roses has been ar ranged for by the Rose Society. The West Side residence districts, Portland Heights and Council Crest will next be visited, and upon returning down town a trip will be made throughout the East Side.

On Washington street from First to Fourteenth the -ouses that failed to dec orate elaborately may be counted on the fingers of two hands. Anyone who left off decorating from lack of public spirit or to keep down expenses is sure to suf fer dire consequences, for any building having no decorations in the business dis trict is most conspicuous and the object of no little adverse comment. On Morrison street, from Front to Tenth streets, the decorative effects are quite as elaborate and numerous as on Washington street. Substantially every business house had effective combinations and designs In Festival colors. American colors, roses and vari-colored bunting.

East, Portland is a gay scene through out the business district, colors having been placed on the telephone poles. Grand avenue Is fairly swathed In bright bunt ing and flags, while East Morrison street, from the bridge to Grand avenue, is lit tered with decorations. Most effective were the night deco rations. Even before anything resembling darkness could appear the light of the waning day was outdone by the burst ot light from thousands of incandescents clustered and festooned from every imag inable point. The night, in the heart of the business district, was even bright .er than the day. And In the face of all this the deco rations are by no means all completed. Forces of decorators were at work until well Into the night adding to the ocean of colors. By this afternoon the Fes tival colors will predominate all things and only an occasional glimpse of brick and stone walls may be caught when a breeze draws aside some line of stream er for an instant.

Portland day at the Alaska-Tukon-Pactflc Exposition at Seattle -will be a big event, according to Commissioner W. F. Thomas, who reached this city yesterday, bearing greetings from the fair headquarters, as well as from Mayor John F. Miller, to Mayor Lane. Mr. Thomas called at the City Hall yesterday morning and delivered to Mayor Lane the official messages of good will from the Sound metropolis. He was assured that Portland and Ore gon people will enter Into the spirit of the special occasion with great enthu siasm, but Mayor Lane will not issue a proclamation calling for a general ob servance of the day at Seattle, as his successor will be in office on that date, July 20. Mr. Thomas told Mayor Lane that the slogan for Portland day at the exposi tion will be "The Sistership of Cities." It will be made one of the most bril liant events of the entire fair, he de clared. The tentative programing, w said. Is such as to make certain the success of the occasion, and new feat ures are being added continually to complete a first-class number of spe cial attractions. Any little feeling that may have prevailed, he stated, will be shown by the action of the .exposition officials and the people of Seattle on 'that date to have been a mistake. At no time. It Is said by Mr. Thomas, hal there been any ill feeling against Ore gon by the best people of Seattle. A big military pageant will be on of the chief features of the programme for Portland day. Motorboat races and special athletic events will be another pleasing attraction. A public reception In the Oregon building will take place, at which the Governors of Washlngtop and Oregon, with their staffs, and the Mayors of Portland and Seattle will participate. At night a banquet will be given, at which the distinguished guest." and their friends will be present. (niav Sr.ntp' be two or three hman called the He
