Electrical Parade Tonight.
Ttesplendent in myriad lights,
rich colors and spectacular illumina

Itrst of the kind ever presented here
and possibly the most elaborate of Its
type seen anywhere on earth. It will

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

work.
The pageant will move promptlv at
8 o'clock from Morrison and Nine

The line of march Is necessarily lim

streetcar tracks, since all the floats
will move by trolley. Passing down
Morrison street past the grandstand,
the pageant wll turn north at Third

Automobile Parade Tomorrow.
Of tomorrow's programme the distinc
tive feature will be the automobile parade
In which five miles of gaily decorated
i-ars will appear. It Is estimated that
fully 1.0.0"0 blooms will he used in the
various decorations for this Impressive
pageant. The scores of those who are to
appear In the pageant have already laid
their plans for decorative effects. Every
competitor is going in with the firm
purpose of taking a trophy and every

This pageant will move promptly at 2
P. M. from East Park and Main streets
and will pass through the principal streets
of the city, covering a distance .greater
than the length of the procession itself.
The competitive exhibit of roses will
continue throughout Wednesday, conclud
ing at 10 o'clock when the prize awards
will all be completed. At 8 P. M. Wed
nesday the Commercial travelers will en

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. This procession
will move at 8 P. M. Friday and Satur
day, the concluding days, will be the
busiest of the Festival week. In many
respects. Friday's features will be the
children's parade and carnival In East
Portland and the races at the Country
Club. Saturday marks the automobile
races, further races at the Country Club
and a grand electrical pageant in fare
well to the Festival king.
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.

It's safe to say "you" and not miss the mark, for we all belong to the
same lodge, and it seems to be a part of some great plan to try us out and see if
.we can thus earn the right to rule greater things.
Most every day some one of the many "warriors of the enenry" comes
across your pathway and puts up a scrap to see if he can rule.
.
You must be well trained and alert, or he will make you bend the khee,
or, perhaps, break a leg or permanently cripple you.
There are several of these "enemies"' which can be named over, but for
the purpose of this article let us speak of the narcotics, the familv which in
cludes morphine, whisky, coffee, qbcaine, tea, tobacco, etc., all the same fam
ily, each member having a different degree of strength.
Now, coffee is perhaps one of the most plausible and deceitful of
them all.
.
It has many friends, but coolly and" cunningly knifes them, and they
don't know where the blow comes from.
,
Many and many a poor, nervous wreck with weak heart suffers by day
and lies sleepless at night without suspecting that his "dear old friend'' Mr.
Coffee is quietly pushing him along towards the silent city. No, coffee don't
hurt everyone by any manner of means, but it does )ick out the highly organ
ized individuals and wrecks them by the score. .
Perhaps the victim realizes it, but has fallen time and again in the bat
tle and been whipped so often that he has given up and bowed the head to the
chain of his master.

grovels, and the master stretches him a few turns tighter on the rack of "suf

Make sure of one thing. Once you become conscious of the fact that a
fight is on, suffering follows steadily until you are able to rule.
' .
, , Then comes the reward comfort, health and happiness for the victor.
It is good work to stand' right up and smash away with a "mailed fist,"
but it's much more comfortable to whip Mr. Coffee by throwing him "right
over the side of the mountain" and give his place to Postum.

Instead pretty and effective little designs
were wrought. Coils, festoons, wreaths,
pyramids, crescents and every manner of
design was put to use. Not a few of the
big business blocks are cloaked from
basement to flagstaff in a gay -.mantle

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.
The same bounteous response to the Fes
tival spirit is found on the other promi
nent streets. Alder. Stark. Second. Third,
Fourth. Fifth. Sixth and Seventh. The
decorations are profuse In places, but a
trifle scattering In the remainder of the
business part of town.
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.

W. F. THOMAS SAYS PORTLAND
WILL HAVE BIG DAY.
Seattle Will Endeavor to Show Ore
gonians They Bear Only Good
Will of. This State.
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."
