Pretty Girls Toss Millions of

of Crowds.
FLOWER BATTLE FOUGHT

Perfume-Laden Missiles. .
Streets In the business districts en
both sides of the river literally were
covered with roses yesterday morning
when half a score of flower-laden trol
ley cars, presided over by pretty girls
and white-clad men, passed through
the city, bombarding spectators with
petals, buds, blooms and bouquets.
More than 6.000.000 roses were used.
They wkr of every known variety and
of every possible shade and color.
Every part of the city contributed Its
quota of flowers to the residents of
North Portland, Piedmont, Peninsula
and neighboring districts who con
ceived the Idea of the -Rose Bllxxard."
Through the entire week the street car
crews carried roses to the 'Billiard-'
headquarters where they were pre
served for use yesterday morning.
Thousands of people mostly strang
ers lined the streets to view and par
ticipate In the novel spectacle. Most
of them carried baskets of roses from
which thoy vigorously showered the oc
cupants of the cars.
Bleaa nettle Keagkt.
The boys and girls who rode In the
procession In turn heaved roses by the
handful and by the armful at the spec
tators. In front of the grandstand on
Morrison street a veritable "battle" was
fought. The streets and sidewalks
were covered to a depth of several
Inches with petals.
A white uniformed band In an open
car playing lively airs announced the
approach of the "shower." In a car
Immediately back of It was an elabor
ately decorated platform from which
whole roses and millions of petals lit
erally were blown out Into the crowds.
By an Ingenlus arrangement a tn and
blower was attached to the motor of
the car. The flowers were dumped Into
a huge funnel from which they were
forced high "Into the air, scattering
on huads and shoulders as they fell.
An open car carried three score men
and women, each presiding over great
boxes of flowers which they whirled
promiscuously Into the sidewalk groups
as they moved along.
An attractive feature was that of the
TTnlted Artisans No. 46. of Piedmont.
The car was decorated In pure white
and was populated with (0 attractive
girls and young women attired In
white. They likewise Bred volleys of
bouquets Into the waiting arms of per
sons In doorways, windows and on
street corners.
The Mt. Johns car was decorated In
pink. Its occupants were kept busy
tossing perfumed roses.
Two cars conveyed the boys and girls
of Ockley Green Kchool. They were
decorated In pink and white. In their
enthusiasm the youngsters exhausted
their supply of roses before the pro
cession was half over. Then they re
sorted to song and good natured cheer
ing. Residents of th Peninsula district
worked faithfully for more than a
month to make this feature 'of the Rosa
Festival a success. They succeeded.
Kven a shower Just before the floats
reached the W est Hide did not mar. the
parade nor lessen the vigor with which
the participants fired their repeated
charges of floral ammunition.
Former fSvcala Eclipsed.
The "Bliziard" was far better than
a similar feature last year. There were
more floats, more people, more flowers
snd more enthusiasm. More spectators
viewed It from the sidewalks.
As the cars passed the Meier & Frank
building In Morrison street tons of
rose petsls were showered down upon
them, covering the crowd In the stands
opposite as well as those on the adja
cent streets with a blanket of soft,
fragrant petals.
J. H. Nolta and H. A. Ruple had
charge of the arrangements and were
assisted by a staff of co-workers who
labored long and hard for the final
triumph. Fire Chief Dowell and some
of his men aided materially. The Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company
provided cars and Fairbanks, Morse A
Company supplied the blower.
While the parade was rounding the
corner of Morrison and Nineteenth
streets the car containing the blower
collided with a truck and J. H. Nolta
'was thrown violently against the side
of the wooden platform, suffering pain
ful' but not serious Injuries.
TRAFFIC HAXDLETIS LAUDED
frfreet Railway, School Authorities
and Police Aid In Parade.
One of the marvelous features of the
parade yesterday was the manner In
which the Portland Railway, Light
Power Company officials, tha school
authorities and tha police handled the
children and tha streetcars, ao that
every school had Its car at hand Im
mediately following tha arrival of each
school at Grand and Hawthorne av
cnues.
It had been arranged that each school
as Its children reached this intersec
tion would ba deflected toward tha
river or eaat on Hawthorne, as the
rase might be. in order to catch tbelr
respective cara for home. Traffic was
kept going on Hawthorne avenue.
while the thousands of boys and girls
marched along with military precision.
1 ne work was accomplished without
a hitch and all the children reached
tlielr homes promptly. It was
marked Improvement over previous
years.
"OLD GLORY" IN MIRAGE

Searchlights of the cruiser Mary

that baa aroused the patriotic admira
tion of all who have seen It. It Is a
silhouette of the American flag In tha

During the marine pageant upon the

but Damage Is Small and Will
Be Itepalred by Tars This
Promises to Be Bj Day.
First of the accidents growing out
of the transportation of thousand
dally to the crilser Maryland by nu
merous launches occurrea yesteraay.
when one of the steamers from th
cruiser struck the launch Constitution,
tearing a hole In her hull on the star
board side at the water Una. The Con
stitution filled and sank to tha canopy,
but waa raised later.
The collision happened near tna
Rurmldiatreiit bridge. Tha Consti
tution was bound upstream and had
two stewards from the Slaryiana as
passengers. The cruiser s launcn waa
headed down the harbor, being enroute
from Stark street to the ship. Cross
signals are eaio to nave oeeo rtnpi-
ble, the steamer having wniatiea to
dsss and the Constitution' answered
kwlth a rross signal and Is alleged to
haf headed' directly across the steam
er's bows. There were six plsnks and
two ribs broken on the Constitution.
An enlgn from the Maryland made
an examination of th damag and it
was arranged, that man from th
cruiser would make repairs, though
denying all responsibility for the ac
cident. Other than receiving a duck
ing, occupants of tha Constitution es
caped unharmed.
The reception aboard the Maryland
In tha afternoon was not attended by
such a crush aa other days, because
of tho Rosebud parade on tha East Side,
yet there were over 2000 persons to
Inspect th big cruler. It 1 thought
that th attemianc today will be th
heaviest of the week, owing to the
number of children that will go aboard.
The officers are yet rounding out so
cial engagements and those features

place on the platform committee.
The delegation Is equally undecided
its to the election of a National Com
mitteeman, the most Important Job to
be niled, to aucceed Milton A. Miller,
mat Henator from Linn County. Mr.
Miller left aeveral days sgo for Haiti
