Pretty queens, lovely fairies, enormous
products of tree and vine, which might
well be the nightmare of some forelorn
earthworm lost in an abode- of great
things. These were the sights that drew
and held the attention of 200.000 people
who gathered in Portland streets last
night, floats prepared by Oregon cities,
with their elected queens surrounded by
a retinue of maidens, as fair even as
they, were madly cheered Impartially,
but It was In no sense difficult to tell
where were congregated crowds from
different sections. The applause of such
groups rose above the general din when
the floats in which these people were es
pecially interested, made their appear

floats can Inspire. It is almost Impossible

Those provided by the different Willa

For that which Is unique, Vancouver,
"Wasn., must take the banner. Vancouver
successfully mounted on a wagon a re
plica of the great Vancouver bridge bear
ing a North Bank freight train, loaded
with the products of Clark County. High
on this float sat Miss Ploy Dumdi, reign
ing over her possessions.
St. John was not lacking in a similar
endeavor. St. John successfully portrayed
tne great Iron industries of the Pen
insula City. Great forges cast their ruddv
flares aloft, while dark-colored Valcana
tended the flames. Steel wheels and the
paraphernalia of an Iron works showed

emphasis on her steel and Iron manu
factories. Mies Georgia Perrina was queen
of this float.

Johnson, of the Oregon Agricultural
College, in regal authority over her
dominion of prunes and one great ap

Jolinson emphasized as the most im
portant activity of Corvallis, as she
waved the college colors.
Pendleton shared honors with Corval

and she lorded it over an assemblage of
shooting, shrieking: cowboys, tending
the sheep and cattle of her dominions
As assistants. Miss Dixon had Misses
Katie and Cleo Standford.
Miss Delia Raybura ruled over the
Ia Grande float. Apples, cherries,
fruits and flowers were La, Grande's
claim to public notice.
The Peninsula was represented by a
great fountain, over which Miss Vera
Cummin; was dominant. Under a
unique Roman galMiry. she had Penin

enough even for the imagination of
those of the spectators who were an
glers. Cherries were portrayed on the
Salem float, where Miss Bertha Allen
reigned. Miss Lucille Traghi was a
dainty spirit of the rose.
Enterprise and her queen. Miss Edna
Browning, riding on an Bnterprise bul
lock, drew much attention. More than
one would-be hog and sheep raiser vowed
that If Enterprise hogs were like those
rortrayed on this float ho would be sat
isfied to fake up farming In the Enter

Independence showed her Oregon
beauties. And beauties they were in
reality. Equipped In the garments of

Grants Pass Offers Fruit Float.
Two bunohes of luscious Tokay grapes
were the attraction provided by Grants
Pass people. But there were peaches
and pears and an abundance of other
good things. Some even went so far as
to dub by the title of "peaches" the
pretty Grants Pass misses reigned over
by little Miss Kdna Cornell. Misses Lizzie
Ross. Geneva Myers, Kthcl Johnson and
Stella Arnold were her attendants.

Bay Ocean if the flaxen-haired mermaid
denlcted amid the turmoil of the waters
on the Bay Ocean float can be found in
the haunts of the Oregon beach. Bay

recognised it accordingly. Chubby, bare
legged youngsters played happily In the
real sand in the pearly caves.
Another sea scene was Hawaii. " Here
a surf-boat forced its head above the
waves, but where were the native occu
pants? Palms, tropical birds, gorgeous
hued butterflies, gave an atmosphere thai
was unmlstakeable.' Hawaii will have
many Oregon visitors if the Hawaii float
Is anywhere true to life.
"The Argonauts." the seekers of the
old-time golden fleece, fared forth In a
mlghly bark. Great muscled rowers
stood at the gigantic sweeps, the tang
of the salt was in the air. They seemed
to fly through the water led by the war
spirit pbrohed on the prow of their ves
sel. Who could doubt the success of their
much-delayed search when such mun,
led by surrh spirits, scoured the waves in
their quest. '
