' Way by Water.
Exceeding even the most sanguine
expectations of the Rose Festival off!
clals. th railroads and the people ot
Portland generally Is the number or
Eastern visitors in the city. While a
areat Influx from nearby points and
from the principal cities on the Coast
and In the Northwest waa expected, no
one counted on the thousands that have
traveled all the way from the Rocky
Mountains, from Missouri River points,
from Chicago, and even from New Tork.
A delegation of 30 residents of New
Tork City arrived In Portland yester
day morning ana will remain until the
end of the week. . They are on their
way to Honolulu, but timed their
Journey so that they might be here for
the festival. Other large numbers have
come from New England towns and
cities. Every transcontinental train
now is bearing its burden of Rose Fes
tival visitors.
Many Thousands Here.
Various persons and organizations
who have information on the subject
agree that 25.000 is a conservative es
timate of the number of visitors. They
agree that 30.000 Is likely to be close
to the exact figure, but some of them
declare that it will reach 60,000 before
th end of the week.
Portland's hotels are crowded. These
alone can accommodate 13.000. The pri
vate rooming-houses scattered through
the city will take care of nearly that
many more. BuT"a great many visitors
are here as the guests of friends and
relatives and are staying at private
homes. It is estimated that private
citizens are entertaining as many or
more people than are the hotels. hlle
the traffic on railroads is far above the
normal they are well able to accommo
date It all.
"It is a mistake to think that we
cannot care for the crowds traveling
to the Festival, said A. D. Charlton,
assistant general passenger agent of
the Northern Pacific yesterday morn
ing. "We have anticipated this great rush
of business and hart- prepared accord
ingly. The Northern Pacific has had
extra equipment In the Northwest the
past three or four days to accommo
date the business. Although we ar
handling an enormous amount of busi
ness from Saattla aad Tacoma Into
SHOW AX ARMORY.
Portland, we have enough cars to carry
everyone both tourist and standard
sleepers, as well as day coaches."
The Great Northern and O.-W. R. &
N. lines, also operating- between Puge.t
Sound and Portland, likewise have pro
vided themselves with extra equipment
and are adequately caring for all the
traffic
Estimates of the number of people
traveling from the Puget Sound district
to the festival are conservatively
placed at 6000. With three railroads ;
aggregated 10 trains '
each way a day, there is no reason
why these visitors should lak accom
modations on the way.
H. C Nutt. fourth vice-president of
th Northern Pacific with headquar
ters in Tacoma, came to Portland yes
terday to assist local officials in caring
for the business.
The O.-W. R. & N. Company and the
Southern Pacific are handling- heavy
passenger lists on all Incoming trains.
Every train carries extra equipment
and all cars are crowded. Points in tn
Willamette Valley and in Eastern Ore
gon are sending large delegations.
Central Oregon residents are here In
such numbers as past festivals have
not even approached. The compara-
tlvely easy mode of travel .1-. th. .
completion of the railroad Into that ter
ritory has been responsible for the In
crease in tha size of the crowd.
Agents for lines tnat do not operate
directly into Portland have advices
from their Eastern offices that the sale
of tickets to Portland on account of
the festival have exceeded all previ
ous records.

ROSE SHOW GREAT
Hundreds of Blooms, Worthy
of Prizes, Used in Decorat
. ing Armory.
CHOICE VARIETIES SHOWN
Many Thousands Attend Opening af
Exhibit Mr. Lawson, Himself
Noted as Rosarlan, Yields
Palm to Portland.
In tha quarter century of its history,
the grim old Armory, borrowed for so
cial or exhibition occasions, has pre
sented many a gala scene, but never was
It more lavishly dressed, mora beauti
fully decked or more completely trans
formed from military somberness to fes
tive gaiety of appearance than yesterday
afternoon and last night, when the big
doors were thrown wide In the formal
opening of the annual Rose Show.
Hundreds of thousands of choice roses,
of every dainty hue imaginable and
ranging from hugre brilliant blossoms to
the tiniest of blooms and buds, each
rivaling the other in marvel of petal
and perfection of coloring, banked the
grim walls of the old building-; bare
girders and naked supporting beams
were swathed in greens and entwined
with blooms, and on half a hundred
tables and stands, specially constructed
and artistically arranged with aisle
spaces between, were great bowls, bas-.
kets and vases of the choicest of these
choice roses the magnificent exhibits
entered in the contest for the 75 hand
some silver cups offered by Portland's
enthusiastic rosarlan s.
Display Is Effective.
Massive pyramids and artistic bowers
effectively displayed thousands of other
blooms, and the delicate perfume of the
queen of flowers was everywhere, the
fragrance making the whole building
sweet from gallery to lobby. Strains of
music from the band in attendance
added another delight to the senses and
contributed to the appreciation of the
throngs that constantly filled all the
aisles, from the opening to the closing
hour, eagerly viewing the beautiful dis
plays and exclaiming upon the marvel
of quantity as well as quality of tha
wonderful yield from the rose gardens
of Portland.
Shortly after the noon hour impatient
crowds began to besiege the Armory,
and continued to mass before the closed
doors until the delayed opening at 2;30
P. M. Long before this hour the line
of eager men, . women and children
stretched more than a block In either
direction up and down Tenth street, and
several hundred were massed before the
entrance, eager for admittance. A cor
don of police was necessary to hold the
surging throngs back, and a woman and
two aged men, fainting, had to be as
sisted from the crush and revived. With
in an hour after tha doors were opened,
it Is estimated, more than 0000 were
admitted, and during the afternoon up
ward of 8000 viewed the Rose Show,
moving in a continuous stream. , Ths
attendance at night was evere greater,
and the enthusiasm rose to the height
of rousing cheers when the beautiful
silver cups,- awarded to tha prie win
ners, were presented to the victorious
exhibitors by John W. Carroll in the
midst of such a scene as would be pos
sible to no other city in the world.
Lawson Himself Amazed.
Among the visiting Eastern people
who viewed with amazement the pro
fusion and variety of magnificent roses
was Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston. Mr.
Lawson. with his daughter, haa spent
much of his time while in Portland look
ing over the city's rose gardens, taking;
particular delight in that of W. A.
Storey, who is showing more than 70
varieties this year. Mr. Lawson is a
rose grower himself, and takes great pride
in his 13 acres of gardens, but he said
yesterday that he was compelled to take
land. and declared himself lost in won
der at what his eyes beheld in the rose
gardens of Portland.
It had been feared by the small army
of rosarians, upon whom rested the re
sponsibility of the Rose Show, that the
backward weather would retard free
tilooming, and that roses would be
scarce. But eleventh-hour sunshine saved
the situation, and early yesterday morn
ing roses began to burst into a glory of
loom in every section of the city. The
displays of the various districts, ar
ranged about the walls of the Armory,
so far from indicating any shortage of
blooms, seem more prodigal than ever.
Many hundred of roses that would be
prize-winners elsewhere are used for
? " "3,7. v." ! k
abounds in all thfe displays, and every
other choice variety, from the most
brilliant reds and yellows to waxy white,
are liberally represented.
