(Continued From First Pare.) r water route the banks were crowded with willing subjects of the coming queen. They cheered, they waved their hats and hands with kaleidoscopic ef fect as the procession passed by. The Broadway, the Harrlman and the Burn side bridges, through which the pro cession slowly moved, were packed to their capacity. "Hurrah for Thelma!" came from thousands of voices. , It seems that Thelma heard the ut terance of each particular throat. Her eager eyes took in the crowds and met the eyes of her admirers. Her win ning smile beamed upon them and was reflected in their faces. The cruiser Boston and the steamer Beaver fired their deafening salutes cls she passed. She held her ears and closed her eyes, but nodded- her head that the celebration, should go on. Royal Rosarian Band Plays. Arrived at the Stark-street municipal dock the queen-elect lost no time in disembarking. She had consulted with George X Baker, superintendent of fes. tival, amusements, and they agreed that every detail of the programme should be carried out on schedule time. The Royal Rosarian band and the Rosarians themselves preceded the queen and her maids from the ship. Leaning on the arm of W. J. Hofmann, prince regent of the Royal Rosarians, Miss Hollingsworth stepped gracefully from the gangplank, where she was received by C. C. Colt, president of k the festival association, and Mayor Albee. Three pages accompanied her, two of them carrying her mantle train. j Rose Petals Strews by Princess. A "royal coach" with all the gro tesque and brilliant trimmings of the regulation conveyance of kings, was In waiting. It was drawn by four spir ited horses. The prince regent assisted her to her seat and two pages took their places at her feet. Ten of the princesses, walking in pairs, followed closely behind the queen and her escort. Miss Alice Husby, the eleventh princess, walked alone and carried a basket of rose petals, which she strewed promiscuous ly in the path of the others. ' Mrs. David Campbell, cbaperone of the party, rode In a machine with the girls. S. D. Vincent, prime minister of the mythical realm of Rosaria, and H. L. Pittock, duke of Rosaria, followed be hind the maids. Heralds Announce Coming. The princesses took seats in automo biles. A Rosarian, conspicuous by his white uniform when contrasted with the more brilliant garb of the girls, rode on each machine. The procession to the coronation stand at Fourteenth and Morrison streets' was short. A squad of police led it. W. . E. Finzer, field marshal. and his staff followed. Then came the Rosarian band and the Rosarians.. President Colt, Mayor Albee and Prince Regent Hofmann, with two girl pages, rode in a machine immediately preceding that of the queen. Four mounted heralds, laboriously blowing trumpets, and four outriders rode ahead of the coach of the queen, which was surrounded by a company of white clad Rosarians on horseback. The queen's coach was built high above the road and gave her an ele vatlon from which she could see and be seen. Queen's Smiles Answer Cheers. The temper of the crowd varied with different blocks. At some places the procession was permitted to pass with out even as much as an exclamation or a clap of a pair of hands. At other points the people seemed bent upon rendering themselves hoarse with cheers. Through' it all Miss Hollingsworth JUBt smiled and smiled, sometimes opening her lips as if to speak if she could have made herself heard. Each of the princesses came In for her share of attention. All of them bad personal friends and admirers in the groups along the curbs. They did not hesitate to wave their hands or to shout greetings to those whom they knew. The parade route was deeply lined with humanity. The higher buildings, too, contained their capacity of heads, arms and shoulders. Camera Fiends Surround Throne. When the party arrived at the coron ation . stand the stage was nicely set. The throne had been erected on a raiBed platform, with seats all about for the princesses and the "court" of ficials, the moving-picture machines were in place and the camera iienas were crowding in close. The Rosarian band led the way ana took up a position on the steps of the old Lincoln High School building. The Rosarian marchers entered the grounds before the throne and "opened order" to permit the queen to pass through. Here it was that J. Fred l.arson, mas ter of ceremonies, took charge of the situation. The accent belongs on the word "master." He was master of the situation. The coronation could not have been done better had It been re hearsed more than only once. Miss Husby, the flower maid, pre ceded the queen, scattering rose petals at her feet. . The other princesses fol lowed. - Mayor Presents City's Key. Trumpets blew their resonant blasts as the queen mounted the steps and took her seat. Other members of the court" followed and took their seats. President Colt, followed by two girl pages, carrying a crown of roses upon a pillow, approached the throne. The queen knelt low and the presi dent of the Festival Association placed the crown upon her brow. The band played "God save the Queen." A funnel behind the throne emitted a shower of rose petals which fell gently in the crowd. . Mayor Albee then stepped forward with a great wooden key, symbolizing the freedom of the city, and presented it to the queen. Seepter Given Queen. Triumphantly, she waved it aloft and accommodatingly held it at arm s length before her in front of the mov iner-oicture cameras. ' A "scepter," symbollzfng authority, then was presented by H. L. Pittock, duke of Rosaria. A much-used volume of Oregon stat utes did service as "the book of laws" which 6. X. Vincent, prime minister, presented to the queen and which she passed, on to a page, with a shrug of her shoulders, as if to say: "Cut out the bunk." A bier, impressive looking scroll next was handed to the queen. It didn't Impress ber much, though. She passed it on to S. D. Vincent, who unrolled it, stepped forward and read its contests. In effect it said: Queen Knights Subjects. "Go to it, people, have a good time and enjoy the Rose Festival. Gather roses from your lawns, decorate your buildings and homes and pin flowers upon strangers who visit the city." Next came the swordbearer. ine queen used this in "knighting" a lot of her subjects, among them Mayor Albee, President Colt and the rest of the Rosarians. To Robert rLrohn sne gave the title "Commander of the Royal Guard," and pinned upon his coat an emblem signifying as much. The coronation ceremony was wit nessed by thousands of people. Super intendent Baker had permitted no auto mobile to approach into the blocks im mediately surrounding the coronation platform, reserving the space xor ioiks who have no automobiles. As the aueen passed from her throne to her carriage and proceeded to the Festival center she was given a joyous welcome. ' The people seem to like Queen Thelma. : She Is making good on her job. . She is a queenly queen. PALACE LOGS GOING UP Oregon Building at San IVancisco Fair Gradually Takes Shape. . Erection of the great logs which will form the pillars of 'the Oregon build ing -at the Panama-Pacific Exposition has already been commenced, accord ing to a letter received at the' office of the Oregon Commission yesterday from Edward Foulkes, of the firm of architects in charge of the ouiwing. Not nil of the logs are on the ground. but many are on the way and will reach there by the time the builders arm readv for them. Sam Josephson. of Roseburg, and C. R. Worrall, of Tillamook, In charge of their respective county exhibits, vis itod the Commission's office yesterday and reported encouraging progress' In their work. The commission win noia a meeting Saturday at 2 o'clock P. M. to consider details in development of the plans for the Oregon exnibits. CHICAGO. June 9. (Special.) The following from Portland, Or., are reg lstered at Chicago hotels: Great North ern. . Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hlnger; La Salle, Mrs, J. A. PetUU SIDELIGHTS OF FESTIVAL HE machine-like perfection of X the preparations for the recep tion given us today was the most im pressive thing I have ever -encoun tered," said R. L. Frost, of the Mil waukee business men's excursion, at the banquet at the Comercial Club last night. "It reached down to the finest de-r tails. Why. the automobile I was out riding in with some of my hosts this afternoon ran out of gas, and just as It gave its last expiring gasp and came to a dead stop, there it was standing right beside a little red tank and we simply ran out a hose, took on some more gas and went on our way. It was wonderful." AS the parade up from Stark-street dock was passing between Third and Fourth streets on Alder, an en thusiastic chambermaid, leaning out of a window of a hotel, lost her hold on a pillow she had in ber hand. "Plunk!" It fell on the rear section of the parade. Someone kicked it through the ropes into the crowd where a playful wight snatched it up and fetched his companion a hearty wal lop with it. - There was a whirl of laughing people among whom could be seen momentary glimpses of the flying pillow, contin ually the worse for weir by reason of the rough treatment U was put to. Then someone kicked a few tattered rags through the ropes, there was a flutter of scattered feathers In the gut ter and the pageant passed on. A TINT tot, and this tot was unques tionaby tiny, wandered off down town yesterday to see the "Westibal." She did not know her name. So a traf fic officer at Grand avenue and Morri son picked her up and started for the police station. Then came screams till the patrolman assured the 18-months-old mite they would really, truly, "hon estly, cross-my-heart" see the Festival. Worried parents picked her up at the police station an hour later. They had to wait there, for the pa trolman fulfilled his promise and held her in his arms at Third and Morrison streets, right in the center of the street, as the Queen passed on her way. MAYOR BAD1NG. of Milwaukee, Wis., got close to nature yester day. He examined the soil at close range. In fact, he fairly wallowed in it. With a party the Milwaukee execu tive was taken by M. L. Kline auto in g. The machine was mired in the mud three miles from Portland Heights. Wearily the party scaled the hill and scrambled through the mud till the ma chine was able to load them up again. "He's a real Mayor," said .Mr. Kline. "Why, he seemed to revel In that mud. Maybe they xion't know mud in Wisconsin." PRACTICALLT every hotel Is full to the roof. From a hotel stand point the crowds are real, not talk. Big gest real crowd of folks we have ever seen for the Festival is a quite general comment. At three leading downtown hotels from 30 to 60 cots were required last night to house late comers. THE huddle of small boats and reck less canoes that have in former years cumbered the river during the marine pageant was noticeably not so bad yesterday, thanks to the careful and effective policing of the route of the parade by Harbormaster Speler and the harbor patroL great bouquets of the famed bloom were on display. In the engine-room colored electric globes, mostly red and blue, were sus pended over the engines and with them streamers of evergreen, while baskets of roses were hung from them. It was probably the first time an engine-room of a liner was so beautified and Chief Engineer Townsend credited the entire scheme to his first assistant. I. A. Kerr. EVERT member of the crew of the Beaver came In for his share of praise for decorations displayed yester day. . Every officer's room was made at tractive with roses, especially Captain Mason's quarters, where baskets and YOU can't ask anything the informa tion bureaus of the hotels can't tell you. At least that is the expe rience of visitors who have bombarded the clerk in charge with questions. "And can't they ask questions?" said one clerk. "Why, one woman wanted to know how high Queen Thelma was and an other wanted to know what siie shoe she wore. "And (proudly) I want you to know I told them, too." ZONE LIST TIME SAVER Scbed-nle Gives Postoffioe Number for Parcels Post Shipper. Still another impetus to efflcency in the operation of the parcel 'post has been given business men by the Post office Department. x printed schedule, which may be obtained free from the postoffice or branches, tells exactly In numerical or der the zone each postoffice in the United States is located. The procedure for a large parcel post shipper is to look up the unit num ber in the parcel post guide of the destination point. Then by reference to his list he can determine the sons in which it lies with reference to the shipping point. This will save postal officials from 15 to 25 seconds on each package, it is believed, while business men at large are expected to derive marked benefit. Sunburn? Use Santiseptic Lotion. Adv. A -
