S LOTUS AND PEARLS. personally acquainted with many of the Indians there. It took old Three Bears, though, to show the first signs of recognition. When he saw Mr. Mills he grunted his surprise. Then he nudged his in terpreter and exclaimed something in the Blackfoot language that means "friend" or "comrade." The Interpreter called Mr. Mills and the latter soon recognized his old friend. The two then held a lengthy "pow wow."

FIR the first time In 15 years Fred W. Graham. Western Industrial and immigration agent for the Great Northern railway, and C. E. Branin. telegraph operator for the Associated Press, met the other day while both were watching one of the festival functions.

Each looked at the other in a suspicious way. when Graham re marked to Branin: "Where have I seen you before?" Explanations soon were made and they held a regular little reunion. The pair first became acquainted at Bellingham, Wash., when Graham was agent there for the Great North ern, and Branin was assistant to his father, who was then general manager of the Bellingham Bay & British Co lumbia railroad, now a part of the Milwaukee system.

For beauty of design, however, and for general artistic effect, the Portland floats were superior. The Salt Lake City pageant was strictly an industrial affair, each float representing a coun ty and the chief resource of that coun ty. As a symbol of the resources of the state It was fine." iOUR name, please?" begged one of the Judger ji the motorcycle parade yesterday. "Elvin Condit," he answered prompt, ly. "And is this Mrs. condit?" the Judge suggested, motioning to the young woman who rode oL the rear scat. "I should say not," interjected the young woman.

Every type of motor vehicle will be represented. Every variety of rose that blooms in Portland will be presented. The combination will provide a glorious festival feature. This event, probably, more than any other of the week, typifies the supremacy of the Oregon rose as the festival inspira tion. Previous automobile parades have set a festival standard. This year's parade must attain and maintain that standard. Hundreds of thousands of critical oyes will pass judgment on the stan dard of excellence of the pageant this afternoon. Decoration to Bo Oritirnl. Automobile owners, who will enter their decorated machines in the various competitive events, promise superior attractions in, every class.

He virtually is general manager of the parade. He has worked out almost every detail and expects to see it move with precision. It ought to start promptly at 2 o'clock.
