Afer all. Rex Oregonus came by airship, or at least he did not come by water, as about 600 people who lined Stark-street dock, till the floating structure was al most submerged, can testify. He was found somewhere in the suburbs by Mayor Simon and President Hoyt, of the Rose Festival Association. Located by means of aerograms that had been chasing through the air since daybreak, the civic official presented to His Maj esty, the great sold key that unlocks the massive city gates. With heralds blowing a fanfare, and Rex and Mayor Simon formally talking things over prior to the one receiving the reins of authority that the other was only too delighted to hand over to him. a cloud of dust In the distance showed several auto mobiles rapidly approaching the heart of the city. Cavalcade Went Fast. Because the King was In a hurry, the cavalcade tore at a rapid pace through the East Side street, heralds blowing blasts at Intervals, as they could get wind for the purpose. At Morrison-street bridge the mounted police were waiting, and Mayor, King, of ficials and mounted police dashed in truly royal style up to Stark street. Here the machines were stopped, promptly at noon, and Mayor Simon told Rex Oregonus that he was really pleased to hand over to the King the burdens of state. He added facetiously that he hoped his burdens would be light, but by the way he said it it could easily be seen he was insincere. The great gold key was formally hand ed over, and. as His Majesty shifted his scepter from the right hand to the left, to obtain a proper grip of the formidable insignia of authority, the trumpeters again blew fanfares. Then Rex Spoke. Then His Majesty, in a clear, distinct voice, and one really kinglike in qual ity, added that he hoped the burden would be a light one. "I came to Port land," said the monarch, "only after I was convinced that the spirit of revelry would take possession of this city in a manner that would make it quite un necessary for there to be any official head. "We must co-operate, ' you and I, for while I am accustomed to ruling the mystic spirit forms of the Isle of Mys tery, to you has been given the privi lege of ruling mortals. My reign is but temporal, yours permanent: and I shall be delighted to make your city a mu nicipality again less than a week from today. Heralds, sound the trumpets." The heralds sounded a long blast and the machines moved rapidly to Third street along Stark, thence to Morrison. They followed Morrison to Sixth and then down Sixth to Burnslde. Travel ing rapidly west along Burnside, the machines disappeared. Who Is Rex Oreganus? The picture published yesterday in The Oregonian of His Most Gracious Majesty raised excitement to a fever heat. All over the city the question was repeated, ''Who is the King?" Bets are being exchanged and the favorites ranged from Sheriff Stevens to a prominent brewer. Both plead not guilty. Announcements made are that the King is a remarkably handsome man. He is a man with a past a past, that is, that is lustrous. No man would be ashamed to call him friend, and there are many that would be distinctly hon ored to be able to do so. His honors will be short-lived. But, inasmuch as he is the most prominent man ever raised to the royal rank, his name will not easily die locally. Long: live the Kin!

The spectacle of a five-car train, loaded with many hundred thousand roses, will be seen on Portland streets this morn ing, when the Peninsula Rose Associa tion will give its annual distribution of roses over the streets of the city. - - Rosebuds and rose petals will be thrown from the cars by a number of pretty girls at every passer-by. The passing of the train will be the sight of a procession in itself. Headed by a car with Queen Josephine, surrounded by her maidens, waist deep in fragrant blossoms the train will .roll through the principal streets. In one car will be the Peninsula Cow boy band. In another the officers of the Peninsula Rose Festival Association, then two cars loaded with roses and rose pet als with dainty little misses casting them out on to the streets. The Tose train last year was one of the most talked-of events of the Festival week and the arrangements perfected for it this year Insure that nothing is lacking to make the Peninsula exhibition a thorough success. Xolta to Be In Charge. Manager Nolta, who has been devoting a large percentage of his time to . the Peninsula rose work, will have charge of the train. He is specially anxious that the rose train shall have thousands of roses to spare. He asks that roses be placed anywhere on the route of the train as shown at WHICH ARE GA ELY DECORATED the flowers will be picked up by run ners on the train, who will see them placed where they can be distributed to the most advantage. . . No ban is placed on the age of the roses. They may be young buds or merely petals, all are asked for, all are wanted. A moving-picture machine will accom pany the train in a car ahead and will photograph the crowds en - route, the queen and her maidens as they pelt one another and the crowd with the blooms, and these pictures will be exhibited UN K OF MARCH FOR PENIJiSUtA ROSE TKA1N" TODAY. The Peninsula rose car will leave Piedmont car barn at 7:30 A. M. this morning for St. Johns, gathering roses en route. It will return to Piedmont, where the train will be made up at 8:30 o'clock.

Nolta requests that roses be ieft for the train on the line of march for the train to pick up. or they may be handed in boxes to any of the young ladles on the rose train. three weeks later In every important city in the world. Whole City Concerned. For that reason Mr. Nolta feels Port land should realize that the distribution is not only a Peninsula affair but one that has relation to the whole city. By means of the rose pictures Portland will receive advertising extending over the whole world. To picture the city as one that can afford to be prodi gal with the choicest flower that can be culled, is bound to put Portland in the most favorable light possible. "I don't want anyone to say there will be plenty of roses, for unless everyone comes through with the blooms there FOR THE FESTIVAL. won't," said Mr. Nolta yesterday. "The more roses we have the better showing it will be possible for us to make. I want Portland citizens as a whole to realize this and to present us with their roses as we pass." At Eleventh and Washington streets the spare roses after the Armory has been sufficiently decorated will be given to the ladies on the rose train to add to their supply. Those living in different parts of the city who desire to help the Peninsula display particularly may put roses on the cars, at the same time giving the con ductor orders to place them off at some Intersecting point with the Peninsula rose train's line of march. OFFICE NOT TO FEEL PROBE Municipal Association Xot Worried About District Attorney. No specific investigation of the office of the District Attorney is being car ried on by the Municipal Association, says D. A. Patullo, president of the or ganization. "The association," said Mr. Patullo last night, "is always interested in any reflection upon a public Ojucer. and some attention has been paid to recent reports reflecting upon members of the District Attorney's staff. The report, however, that the association has had detectives working on an investigation of the office for a year, or any such period, is ridiculous." ' Mr. Patullo intimated that more defi nite action might be taken in the fu ture and that, if any of the rumors in circulation implicating the District At torney's office in improper conduct, proved to be we'l founded, action would be tekan by his organization. He declared, however, that the present in terest of the association in the question was the same as its interest in any other public office. Salem to Do Honor to Booth. . SALEM, Or., June 6. (Special.) The Salem Board of Trade is planning a banquet and reception in honor of ex Senator Booth, of Roseburg, to be given from 5 to 8 - o'clock on June 14.

The thousands arriving almost hourly hurried to the hotels, already well filled, and loudly clamored for rooms. Only those who had made reservations were accommodated in the downtown hostelrlee. but the management had obtained addresses . of . smaller hotels, lodging-houses and residences) through out the city, and the guests were sent to quarters in the less congested dis tricts. The scenes at the Union Station and about the hotels were . ever changing. Former Portlanders were grabbed by rel atives ar.d friends and escorted out of the crowds and to their homes, giving strangers and .other visitors a better chance to make their way through the crowded thoroughfares.- The bus service was inadequate and carriages and auto mobiles were busy conveying the "left overs" to the various hotels. - Roses Given Away. Just outside the Union Station, the Peninsula Festival Association . had a large stand in charge of three young wo men, who lavishly distributed roses to the arriving guests, and the few who were compelled to leave the city carried- with them souvenirs of the Portland Rose Fes tival. A car loaded with roses was brought, in from the Peninsula this morn ing and unloaded at the station. The roses were spread out on a long counter so that visitors could make their own se lections. Many were almost struck with consternation at the elaborate display and were more surprised to learn that the roses were intended for gifts to the traveling public, or anyone else who wanted them. This morning, another carload of roses from the Peninsula will be brought to the stand and at least a carload each morn- j ing during the week will be collected on me reninsuia tor rree distribution. Persons who have roses for the dlstribu tation leave them in boxes along the streetcar tracks each morning and the conductor of a special car collects them. The stand will be in charge of a new "Well, that is humiliating. It's liard enough to be a slave but infinitely, worse to acknowledge the desperate condition where individual will is gone. However, there is nothing easier if you go about it in the right way. And noth ing that will pay bigger dividends in health, comfort and money -making capacity. Perhaps coffee keeps you awake nights, dulls your brain when you need the sharpest edge on your wits possible. It's the steady, clear, original thinker whose judgment is wide awake dur ing business hours, that makes the well-paid doer of valuable work; the chap who forges ahead on his own initiative the successful money-maker. If coffee gets in its deadly work for only one hour of your business day, that may be just the time when opportunity is calling the loudest. But if your judgment is cloudy from caffeine-poisoning coffee drinkingyou may not see the opportunity or not be able to swing things your way. To be in the best trim all the time, drop coffee entirely and use well-made Postum. By "well-made" is meant, as the directions say, boil your Postum at least 15 minutes after boiling begins. ' Have it dark and rich (it won't hurt you not even a baby) and get the fine, snappy flavour and full food value. Let Postum, in a word, help you quit coffee and start you on the road to everyday-day comfort, rousing good health and quite possibly a fortune. POST MM Postum corps of young women each day. who ' volunteer their services. Hotel Lobbies Thronged. The hotel lobbi best were - thronged and there was a constant Jam about the reg isters. Visitors ' demanding rooms Jos tled with residents of Portland who were looking for friends, while the clerks mopped perspiration from . their brows and tried to euiswer rapid-fire -questions that came from all sides. Arrivals from various parts of the country before the big rush were also busy about the hotels, looking up friends, scanning all the hotel registers and mingling with the crowds in the lobbies. While the hotels were crowded several days ago, the clerks . end . Portlanders smilingly informed inquirers that the "crowd" would not be in till Monday. Just what they meant by "crowd" neither he visitors nor clerks themselves fully appreciated until last night. The "crowd" was beyond all expectation. Where all the people came from seemed a problem, but as night came on speculation as to what sections of the country are now the most sparsely populated became a more serious question of where everybody would sleep. Some Come In Autos. While the railroads brought, the bulk of the crowds, thousands same by trolley and hundreds whirred into the city in eu tomobiles. Dusty automobiles, from all directions, picked their way through the streets to the hotels and, when the pas sengers had been discharged, went honk ing away to the garages to be cleaned and prepared for the big parade. - With a great many of the city's guests It is a homecoming. Former citizens of Portland, who reguarly visit their old home, relatives and friends, postponed the trip this Summer till the Festival was on. Thousands also took advantage of the reduced railroad rates to -come to the city. Those who had attended former Ho so - Festivals alighted from the trains with eager . expressions on their faces, anticipating the week of gaiety and fes tivity in store for them. ' Strangers who had never seen Portland in gay attire ex pressed delight . at the decorations and jnarveled at the extravagance of floral displays already pn the streets. Many Seattleites Here. Of all the cities, Seattle made by far the biggest showing. Pages of the ho tel registers contained the names of so many -persons from Seattle that it seemed as If the Puget Sound city had turned out as a municipality to attend the Festival. Seattleites promised to repay Portland for its liberal patronage of the Alaska-Tukon-Paciflc Exposition last Summer, and '-om all indications last night they have made good their promise and thrown in good interest. No particular locality or city was represented by an organized delegation. Among the arrivals yesterday it was simply a great "On to Portland" move ment, and when the visitors reached the city they scattered in all directions. Pioneers of the Northwest who had been separated for years frequently met on the streets and in the hotels, clasped hands and talked of old times when Portland was a village. Newcomers stood by, listening to the marvelous tales of the West, inquiring now and then about, the conditions that have built up an empire on the Pacific Coast. Indians Come for Circus. Among the arrivals yesterday were 25 Indians and six rough riders from Pendleton, who will take part in the Society Circus. The par:;y came in a special car and was in charge of Louis Bergevin and Frank Jamison. Two of the Harrlman ileet, the steamer Breakwater, from Coos Bay, and the steamer Bear, from San Fran cisco, brought record passenger .ists yesterday, the rush being due to the opening of the Rose Festival. . The Bear was delayed en route from Astoria because a huge cigar-shaped log raft. WEATHER MAX IN DOUBT.
