With, appropriate ceremonies the Ra
diators, the excellent drill team from
Eugene, yesterday noon initiated Edsar
B. Piper, editor of The Oregonian, into
their order because The Oregonian
first named Eugene as the city of
radiation. Mr. Piper Is the first hon
orary member" to he chosen.
D. E. Yoran, Mayor of Eugene, is
president of the Ra.dla.tors, uf whom
there are about 50 In the drill team.
Their uniforms are of light gray, their
straw hats are trimmed with red rib
bons and they carry nifty canes, mak
ing a fine appearance. They have been
one of the chief outside attractions dur
ing the Festival and have made a- de
cided hit in Portland.
Mayor Yoran made a speech when the
Radiators called at The Oregonian yes
terday and gave the history of the
organization and told how it came to
be formed. Mr. Piper, when named as
an honorary member, made a fitting
reply, thanking the members for the
honor thus paid him.
Mayor Yoran said:
"October 15, 1912, Eugene celebrated
the coming of the Oregon Electric road
to that city. At that time The Orego
nian, through its editorial columns,
named Eugene the city of Radiation,
the city from which railroads radiate
to all parts of the state and country.
"We believed at 4that time that you
were the first person outside of Eu
gene to recognize the fact that Eugene
was truly a city of radiation. We now
have rudlatlng in and out of Eugene the
Southern Pacific, the Oregon Eastern,
the Oregon Electric and will soon have
completed the Portland, Eugene & East
ern and the Willamette Pacific.
"On completion of these roads we will
truly be the City of Radiation and act
ing on the editorial for which you were
responsible we have organized a march
ing club of 50 members and have named
them 'The Radiators.
" 'The Radiators,' while accepting the
name you have suggested, is truly a
Eugene product. The suits which we
wear were made from cloth manufac
tured at the Eugene Woolen Mills and
made up by a Eugene tailor. Active
membership In "The Radiators' Is limit
ed to members of the Eugene Commer
cial Club, but while we are strictly a
Eugene product we have made provision
for a limited number of honorary mem
bers, and feeling that you are the prime
mover in the organization of 'The Radi
ators,' we come here today to pay our
respects and ask that you accept from
us the first honorary membership in
our organization, that has as Its objects
the building up of Eugene as a city of
radiation and the advancement of the
State of Oregon."
Following is a list of the members of
"The Eugene Radiators." who are at
tending the Rose Festival:

FIREMEN'S WIDOWS HELP
Graves of Dead Comrades Furnish
Flowers for Decoration.
A feature -of the fire department's
division of the rose parade yesterday
was the mass of roses which adorned
the hook and ladder truck. The flow
ers were taken from the rose bushes
covering the graves of dead firemen
!n the firemen's section of Lone Fir
Cemetery. They were sewed on the
truck by some of the widows of fire
men, including Mrs. David Campbell,
widow of the late David Campbell,
chief of the fire department.
The firemen are extremely grateful
to the people who gave them flowers
to assist in their decorating plans.
They did not get enough to adorn their
motor apparatus in Wednesday's pa
rade, and knowing that the new ma
chines would make a better showing
without flowers than the horse-drawn
trucks, they used all they had on the
entries in yesterday's pageant.

Oregonus Reveals Identity at
Multnomah Hotel Ball.
PERIOD OF SILENCE ENDED
Prominent Real Estate Dealer Has
Been Head and Heart of Boy
Mayor Feature and Prom
i ne nt Kosaria n .
After having1 smiled upon his subjects
and encouraged the spirit of Festival In
the city from the moment of his sailing
into the city out of J.he realm of mystery
on the Willamette somewhere between
Portland and Fairyland, Rex Oregonus,
monarch of the Realm of the Rose, un
masked himself and stood before his
subjects in his real personality for the
first time at the ball given In his honor
at the Multnomah Hotel last night by
the Royal Rosarlans. Behind the dis
guising- make-up in which he had played
the part of king all week was Dorr E.
Keasey, one of the leading realty men
of the city and prominent In business
and social organizations of the city.
Rex Oregonus from the time of his
coming was necessarily a silent king.
No edicts were issued by word of mouth
and only by signs and by his benign
smile did he Md his subjects carry on
the revelry of the Festival. Thus for
four days was Rex Oregonus a king of
mystery, and right royally did he reign.
Mr. Keasty'a selection as the suc
cessor to Fred A. Kribs, who ruled as
Rex Oregonus in the Rose Festival of
1912, came to him as a fitting recogni
tion of the active services he has ren
dered and the enthusiastic support he
has always given the Rose Festival.
Mr. Keasey has been the head and
heart of the Boy Mayor feature which
has annually been conducted in connec
tion with the Festival. He has con
tributed largely both financially and
from his personal efforts to the support
of the great annual entertainment
which Portland offers to the world.
As a member of the Royal Rosarlans,
he was one of the active workers in its
enterprises to advance the Festival and
was one of the leaders in the excursion
of the Royal Rosarlans into California
last January, which has resulted in the
large delegations from Oakland and
Pasadena, which in returning the visit
of the Royal Rosarlans have added
much to the festivities of the week.
Mr. Keasey is a member of the Port
land Commercial Club. He is an active
member, and was one of the officials of
the Realty Board. He is also connected
with many other business and social
organizations of the city. He has lived
in Portland for many years and his
whole business career has been devel
oped in this city.
The kings of the Rose Festivals of
the preceding years, to whose roll of
honor the name of Mr. Keasey was
added last night, were: Harry CL Mc
Allister, 190&; Dr. Emmet Drake, 1909;

Owen Summers, 1910; W. C. Bristol,

was no king in 1906, the first year of
the festival.
Snapshot Interviews
w
E WILL take back a story from
Portland that will Insure any
thing Portland wants in the city if
Portland ever comes to Oakland." The
speaker was M. M. Barnett, editor of
the Oakland Review, a weekly society
paper. He said that when it was first
proposed to bring a bunch of Oakland
boosters to the Koae Festival that the
friends of those who proposed to go
said they were foolish, and that it
would be impossible to make a credit
able showing, etc. "We are glad we
came," said Mr. Barnett, "and when
Portland comes to Oakland, we will re
taliate by trying to give you as good a
time as you 'have given us. What do
you think of our schoolboy band?"
"Portland has added another mile
high to her reputation for knowing how
to entertain a crowd of live ones," said
James H. McCullough, manager of the
New Washington Hotel at Seattle.
"However, we will make a try for the
altitude record next month " he added,
"Are you coming to the Potlatch?"
"The Rose Festival is one of the finest
expressions of the spirit of hospitality
that I have ever seen," said Henry
Erben, one of the Seattle Tillikums.
"It has done its share to unite the com
munities of the Pacific Coast in a com
mon bond of friendship and sympathy."
"The finest thing we have ever seen
in the way of a spectacle, as It is the
finest we have ever experienced as an
entertainment," is the verdict of James
A. Plnney, owner of the Pinney Theater
at Boise, who came to Portland with
Mrs. Pinney for the Festival and the
meeting of tho Pioneers' Association
next week. Mr. Pinney was Mayor of
Boise for several years, and is an Oregon-California
pioneer. He came to
California in 1850, and to Oregon In '62.
He fought as a volunteer against the
Rogue River Indians in '53, 64 and '55,
and was at Jacksonville when James Ish
discovered the famous "Gold Hill
pocket," from which a quarter of a
million dollars was taken In '59. In the
Spring of 62 he packed wheat from the
Willamette Valley to seed his place
near Jacksonville. He went to Idaho
in the '60s.
Chief Justice McBride. of the State
Supreme Court, says that the electrical
parade was the finest spectacular effort
ever achieved by a Rose Festival man
agement, "It was simply wonderful,"
he said, "and while It was seen by per
haps the biggest crowd that has ever
attended a Rose Festival, it is too bad
that those magnificent floats should go
out of commission, having been seen
but once."
THE LESSON OF THE ROSE.
BT REX LAMP MAN.
Life Is not vain. The rose that blows
Sequestered and unseen,
1'pon the wind its perfume throws
Perhaps 'twill steal between
Some lattice where a sick one lies.
And bring- back memories of blue skies.
Bright brooks and fields of green.
Life is not vain. The rose will fade,
And die, and turn to mold.
But from the dust where It decayed
New roses will unfold.
As full and fair as ever grew.
Touched by kind winds as ever blew,
With fragrance yet untold.

Daring Leapers, Under Direction of

Make Ascent on East Side
and Jump at 12:30 Today.
Four entrants in a 2000-foot down
ward dash will risk life and limb for
mere glory at 12:30 o'clock this after
noon, the start to too made from Ed
ward Ungar'a balloon. Parachutes are
to be the vehicles, and two of the
Jumpers are old-timers so seasoned at
the game, in fact, that they are keen
rivals.
There are to be no prizes, Thomas
McClain and- Ralph Carhart merely
seeking to establish that each is a
better Jumper than the other. The
others who will make the race are
Preston Crosby and Dale Kidd, not so
old at the game, but still ambitious to
come as near as possible to the exploits
of the old-timers. Mr. Unger will go
up in the, basket as pilot.
Nothing like this race has ever been
put on anywhere in the world, accord
ing to Mr. Unger. He says he has par
ticipated in an event where three par
achutes were launched from the same
balloon, but never four. The ascent
will be made from East Taylor and
East Seventh streets and when the
bag has reached the end of the 2000-
foot cable, the dangling parachutes will
be cut'oose and the race will be fairly
on. 0
Mr. Unger makes the weather a con
tingency. If the wind is blowing hard
er than ten miles an hour, he will not
permit the race. Anything less than
that, however, will not interfere se
riously with the conduct of the um
brellas. Crosby has made about five para
chute Jumps in the brief period of his
aeronautical experience. It is said he
made his first Jump on a 50-cent bet
at Bellingham, Wash., and liked the
sport so much that he has Jumped
whenever he got the chance.
McClain has a "clown" parachute,
which wobbles from side to side all
the way down and is supposed to send
cold thrills along every spine.
When the ascent is made, the Jump
ers will be standing erect in their
racers, which will be attached to the
balloon in the usual way. Then, as the
cable tightens when the slack is taken
up, Unger will give the signal and
every one of the four will shoot down
ward. What will happen then is en
tirely dependent upon the breeze and
the skill of the Jumper.

of our county. Yes, Bill was born in
Jackson County and went

Walter Pierce came sidling up and
suggested that he thought the Rose
Festival of this year was bigger and
better than ever. "Yes," exclaimed S. D
Crowe, of La Grande, "like my home

and oetter with astonishing rapidity."
u. E. Wichersham, of Spokane, here
remarked that he hoped the Portland
people would not forget the interest
taken in the Rose Festival by the Spo

great inland metropolis out. "But they
will," he went on, "for there is a bond
of friendship between the people of
Portland and the people of Spokane
tnat will never be severed.
H. F. Jones, an intimate friend of
Governor West, former Mayor of Red

people had come down from Crook
County to see the Festival. And we are
getting the worth of our money and
