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!

Be Scattered.

Moving Pictures of Crowds Along

Throughout Country Many
Roses Are Needed.
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

The Peninsula rose car will leave

train.

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

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 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 affair Is to show the city's appre

- Trains carrying extra coaches and
loaded to the . guard rails pulled into the
Union Station ail day yesterday and left
empty. 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.

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.

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
