but, crowded though the streets were,
the- throngs were very orderly.
From registrations at the-, hotels. It
could be seen that the festival was. al
most a carnival of nations. With the
arrival of the foreign consuls and the
presence of . notable representatives
from every kingdom, the Importance of
the Hose Festival was more apparent.
This year, the festival is officially
recognized in all leading countries.
Through their consular representatives,
most of the leading nations of the
world sent roses to be planted on rose
planting day, last February. Some
of the famous bushes are even bearing
roses for this Rose Festival.
Every organizer in other cities where
celebrations similar in character to a
degree to the Portland Rose Festival
are held, has forwarded his good wishes
to Manager Hutchln, of the Rose Festi
val Association. They began to arrive
by wire yesterday morning.
Omaha Sends Greetings.
Omaha sent greetings from its
Knights of Aksarben, through its im
perial potentate, Gus Renze. The
Veiled Prophets of St. Louis wired their
felicitations under the . seal of their
grand oracle. Master Floatbuilder
George Soule, of the New Orleans Mardi
Gras sent his envious good wishes, and
the Priests of Pallas, who make Kansas
City their home, wired congratulations
through Priest Robinson.
Thus the attention of cities In every
part of America is directly centered on
Portland and its Rose Festival.
Today might almost be termed "Rose
day," for It is one devoted entlre'y to
the glorification of the queen flower.
In her honor a Rose Show will be held
at the Armory. To show Her Majesty
the rose, hundreds of thousands of
them will be scattered over the streets.
Petals will be strewn over a distance of
20 miles this morning.
At the Rose Show every famous rose
grower In the city will exhibit the
choicest of blooms. Roses In profusion,
roses of all shades and all varieties,
will be exhibited In thousands.
Eastern Man Marvels.
An Eastern rosarian. observing the
np.llmlnaiv a ia n cram an t a . tha A mi
ory, said that, taking Into consideration '
the flowers used in decorating, there
had been an "expenditure for flowers of
what would have amounted to $50,000
in any city east of the Missouri River.
Great Kastern publications have pho
tographers in the city prepared to pho
tograph the different features likely to
seem unusual to Eastern visitors. The
large daylight parades will be snapped
by a force of cinematograph men, who
will take moving pictures of the best

So Important an advertising feature
has the picture outfit been considered
that the greatest preparations In the
way of special cars and special posi
tions have been arranged for. One pa
rade even was arranged to commence
three hours earlier. In order that the
"human rosebuds' might be shown all
over the world.
Wreath to Replace Hats.
Suggestions that might cause greater
are being constantly made. One of the
best Is that all young women wear
wreaths of roses on htelr hair. In place
of hats. Inasmuch as the young women
could match their hair and complexions
with multi-colored roses. Just as they
do with the creations of the milliner,
the suggestion seems a feasible one and
one that would give an almost Italian
fte air to the scenes on the streets.
Young women at the depot, pinning
on new arrivals, are among those who
wear wreaths of roses.
The continued cool weather has been
the one thing that has Insured a plenti
ful supply of owers.
In previous years the Festival has
been arranged a little earlier some
people said too early. This year there
finre roses in abundance for all purposes.
When a city can afford, from Its flower
supply, to use roses for scattering
broadcast, for decorating the fronts of
buildings and continually freshening up
the supply, there can be no question of
any scarcity.

"Last year." said Chief Campbell, "we

fact, we want to eclipse our part in the

"The boys are entering upon the

Myriads of Electric Lights
Flash Out.
APPEARANCE IS AMAZING
Crowd Stares at Decorations, Aston

With Decorative Effects in
Lights and Lanterns.
Just a turn of a switch and th
streets of Portland flashed an em
blazoned welcome to the thousands of
visitors in the city last night. Fes
toons of lncandescents draoed from tall
office buildings, ribbons of white light
strung from cornice to foundation,
clusters of lights with diverging
branches, illuminated roses, wreaths,
deslgfns and flags, myriads of colored
bulbs and miles of electrical display
broke forth as If by magic, and made
the downtown district brilliant. The
darkened sky, blackened by the Intense
illumination, made a background for
the thousands of gloving bulbs that set
off the brilliant display to the best ad
vantage. Seventh streeet. which was decorated
under the auspices of the Seventh-street
Improvement Association, was crossed
with strands of Japanese lanterns, from
Tamhill to Bumside street, giving that
thoroughfare a tinge of Oriental beauty.
The softened lights of the lanterns sway,
ing in th ebreeze was a marked contrast
to the steady glow that streamed down
the sides of skyscrapers and marked the
routes followed by surging crowds that
lined either side of the streets.
The blossoming rose on the tower of
The Oregonlan building attracted wide
attention, and Sixth street was blockaded
at several places by crowds watching
the flower slowly appeear and then fade
into the night. Likewise, the huge rose
on the Portland Hotel was watched with
admiration as it grew from a stem until
It unfolded itself, petal by petal. Into
the typical emblem of Portland.
The Wells-Fargo building, draped in
colored lights and surmounted by a wav
ing American flag, stood as an electrical
monument and guardian of the lesser
lights. The Electric building, mother of
the great artificial decoration, feeding life
and power as nourishment to the whole
magnificent scene, was clothed in a maze
of light.
Above all shafts of white light shot
from searchlights on tops of buildings,
sweeping the sky and losing themselves
in the heavens.
The illumination was the real opening
of the Rose Festival. Today the roses
will displace the lncandescents and arcs,
but the night was a fitting introduction
to the weeb.

of visitors in Portland, it was the in

the corners; gazing in wonder at th
gorgeous scene which surrounded them.

tribe of Umatilla Indians, but yester
day arrived from the range, will convey
the original "Spirit of the Golden West,"
From their time to the present, when
small farms dot every expanse of coun

and growth will be narrated in a series
of pictures that for sheer beauty can
be excelled only in Portland.

Twelfth street, lining up along Mor
rison street about 8:30 P. M. Each
float will be drawn by four ' horses,

white flare. By means of these torches
every detail of the procession will be
clearly visible to the crowds on the

the principal horticultural industry of
the state.
This will be followed by floats repre
