VANCOUVER, Wash., May 6. (Spe
cial) Here, In sight of the place where
the waters of the Willamette mingle
with the waters ot the Columbia, a
mighty outpouring of people this morn,
ins gave evidence of their delight over
tho completion of the Celilo Canal and
crave optimistic utterance to their be
lief thRt the new waterway will aid
materially in building; a bigger and
busier Vancouver and a more populous
and more productive Clarke County.
These canal celebrations have been
ptacrod this werk in turnn, beginning on
Monday, with l-ewlston, at the head of
navigation, and working down to this
point this morning, when it was Van
couver's turn. But Vancouver grew
impatient awaitingr its turn- Its resi
dents and those of the neighboring
c-ountrvslde made the occasion a holi
day. Business in Vancouver was sus
pended. The festival fleet, which figured in
the formal dedicatory exercises at Ce
lilo yesterday, was not due to arrive
here until 10:S0 and everyone in Van
couver know ff, but that didn't keep
anyono at home after 8 o'clock. As
early as that the streets were comfort
ably filled. An hour later the whole
mass of humanity started to move
riverward like so many Kuropean sol
diers commanded by a stern general.
Incline Late In Arriving.
There the crowd good-naturedly
waited. The Undine, flagship of the
fleet, wan nearly half an hour late,
but the people were not impatient. In
frtend, they set up u demonstration at
tho appointed hour. Just the same as
if tho vessel actually whs tiring up
to the dock. They continued it until the
Undine turned the corner of the lane,
in tho river many miles up the stream.
Then they arhled whole volumes of
sound to tho noise, already deafening.
Numerous smaller motor craft started
up stream to greet the flagship.
Admiral Gray, commander of the
fleet, from the pilot-house smiled a
broad smile and waved a hard fist in
kind of acknowledgment, of tho joyous
welcome.
But Vancouver was not satisfied
with a mere welcome. It insisted on
a. real reception. It gave attractive
expresion to its cordial sentiments by
r regular college yell, administered by
a group of school children.
T-ach Rotable f.urat Welcomed.
Then came tho business of unloading
the vessel. As oon as the various
state and l-'cderal officials, who have
been making their homo on the Undine
for nearly a week, wero safely deliv
ered on shore, a parade was started
through the principal business streets
to Vancouver'.-! beautiful city park,
where giant fir trees afforded shade
and protection tor the thousands who
by this time were beginning to swelter
in the midday sun. Peter J. lTlynn
was grand marshal of tho parade. A
batallion of soldiers from Vancouver
Barracks the school children, distin
guished visitors and citizens in auto
mobiles completed the line.
At the speaking stand in the park,
W. P. Connawiy, president of the Com
mercial Club, took charge. lie instant
ly aroused the good humor of his audi
ence by introducing tho notables pres
ent in turn. Kach, as his name was
called, arose, so that tho public might
see. Admiral Gray, Mrs. Jacobs, the only
survivor of the Whitman massacre,
Captain Hosford, of the Undine; Senator
Jones, Senator Poindexter, Represen
tative Humphrey, Senator Lane, CJov
ernor Withycombe, Representative Mc
Arthur, Kx-Governor SIcConnell, of
Idaho, were Introduced, -one after the
other and the crowd it seemed, would
wear blisters on their hands in ap
plauding. Good RoaiU Advocated.
Mayor Uvans, of Vancouver, added
further to the pleasure of tho as
semblage by announcing that the
'Speeches would ho short, and they were.
Governor Withycombe reiterated his
utterances of earlier in tho week, that
the people, now that the canal has been
built, must provide themselves with
goo,) roads so that they can haul their
products to tho edge of the water.
More than 100 students from the
stato school for the deaf, which is
located near Vancouver, were present,
nni as the speakers delivered their
addresses. Professor Clark and Pro
lessor Lloyd interpreted their remarks
in tho sign language. A large party
from the state blind school also at
tended. Following the speaking a battalion
from the Twenty-lirst infantry, under
command of Major Wilson Chace gave
tin exhibition drill from Butts' manual
to music. This was one of tho mo-,
entertaining features of the entire week
of celebrations.
Country Seen From Motors.
Waiting automobiles then took the
visitors through tho productive grain
and orchard districts near Vancouver,
and most of them were thoroughly im
pressed with the nature of the roads in
Clarke County. The hard-surfaced high
ways were especially admired.
The stay ot the Admiral's party in
Vancouver was made additionally de
lightful by the attentions of a group
of high school girls, under direction of
Sirs, Frank E. Hodgkin. Every visitor
was presented with a bqutonniere of
roses.
The dock in Vancouver at which the
Undine tied up is historic from the fact
that it is the place at which the ocean
going vessel Beaver in 1836 fitted her
self with the machinery that made her
the first steam-operated vessel on the
Columbia. Tho Beaver was fitted out
in London as a sailing vessel. She car
ried her engines and her paddle wheels
in her hold and made the change when
she came to the site of the present-day
Vancouver.
Potential Greatness Pointed Oat.
Vancouver residents declare that to
day's event is equally historic. They
point out that Vancouver is at the
head of navigation for ocean-going
vessels in the Columbia. They declare
that with additional development in
the river channel between the mouth
of the Willamette unci their city, which
is a distance of only a few miles, the
blsrgest freighters of the Pacific can
cull at their port.
They declare now that the canal is
built, it will be possible to haul wheat
from the interior country at the lowest
possible rates, to Vancouver, that they
will erect mills there to- grind it into
flour and that by means of the ocean
carriers they will ship flour to all parts
of the world.

CRAFT GREET UNDINE
Sirens Loudly Welcome Flag
ship of Celilo Fleet.
PARADE IS MILE LONG
KJreboats Discharge Water Arch,
Through Which Vessel Passes
Kscorteil by Myriad of Uig
and Little Harbor Vessels.
Portland harbor yesterday arternoon
extended a joyous welcome home to
the steamer Undine and the other river
craft that had participated in the up
river celebrations incident to the com
pletion of the Celilo Canal.
Never did the waterfront turn out a
more demonstrative throng and never
did the river craft present a more
united effort to welcome the flagship.
From the mouth of the Willamette to
Oregon City the river demonstration
was spread.
Tho Undine lay at Vancouver until
nearly 1 o'clock, but as early as 12
o'clock scores of small motor craft
plied through the lower harbor, sput
tering and screaming excitedly in their
effort to express their pleasure over
the Celilo project.
When the Undine finally rounded into
the Willamette from the Columbia .she
found a whole flotilla of escorts. Bach
ono tried to outdo the other in its
endeavor to give a fitting welcome to
dmiral Gray, his passengers, and his
crew.
Oregon City Pleet Welcomes.
When the ?iead of the pageant
reached the Broadway bridge the ves
sels that had participated In the cere
monies at Oregon City earlier in the
day joined the line.
The nreboats David Campbell and
George H. Williams gave a spectacular
demonstration that was one of the pret
tiest seen on the river in many a day.
They steamed along the water's edge,
one on either side, at the time throwing
forceful streams of water toward the
center of the river, thus forming sort
of an arch through which the Undine
moved majestially. The sun was beat
ing down from overhead in mid-Summer
fashion and at the point where the
flreboat spray met the river surface
picturesque rainbows were formed. The
wind, too, was doing a brisk business
and at times the spray from the gush
ing fire Sghters was carried back and
fell upon the Undine passengers like a
gentle, rain. But so cheered were all
with the sight that they suffered the
dampness rather than seek shelter.
Crowds Swarm to See.
From every available viewpoint on
the river, throngs crowded and swarmed
for a vantage point to witness the river
pageant. Every member of the Porf
land Motorboat Club who had a launch
was on the river and each had a great
deal to do with making it one ot the
most successful river parades ever held
on the Willamette.
The parade, led by the steamer Un
dine, was more than a mile in length.
Three patrol boats were out, the Har
vey. W. Scott. Harbor Patrol and Fred
Failing's Sabrina, and all carried either
customs officials or members of the
harbor patrol.
One pleasing feature was, the fact
that the boats docked tn time to start
the street parade promptly at 3 o'clock.

The manner in which the boats lined

Signal Starts Craft.
Before the Celilo fleet hove in sight,
members of the Harbor Tatrol had no
tified the captains of tho waiting Port
land vescvls when to heave 'to and at
a signal all moved into position.
Kvery boat was decorated, cither
with flags and bunting, or flowers and
evergreens. - Banners- on most of the
boats designated the delegation aboard.
More than 20 boats made up the direct
line but nearly 100 dotted the AVlllam
ette during the parade.
As the leaders passed the Municipal
UocK ro. 1 the cruiser Boston fired a
salute and the Undine responded by
shooting a small cannon carried near
the pilot-house. The "shells" from the
Undine exploded in the air and from
them came balloons of many fantastic
shapes.
The queens of the Celilo Canal cere
bration AVednesday had been taken to
Oregon City early yesterday morning
by members of the Portland Motorboat
Club to participate in the transfer of
the Oregon City locks to the Govern
ment. After remaining in tho Tipper
Willamette town until 1 o'clock all
were -brought back in time to taKc
their positions in tho street parade.
. Through George J. Kelly, secretary
and treasurer of the Portland Motor
boat Club, and Kenneth Beebe, commo
dore of the club fleet, the boats Sylph,
Wunderlust and Mildred If. were ob
tained to take the maids to Oregon
City.
Craft Ileautlfnlly Decorated.
Many of tho wharves, notably the
St. Johns municipal dock, were elabo
rately decorated for the river parade.
The steamer G. K. Went worth, in the
lower harbor, also had on her holiday
attire. Tho lumber mills at Linnton
blew their engine whistles in salute as
the Undine passed by. Passing loco
motives on nearby railroads added to
the din. The gas plant and the plants
of the oil companies between Portland
and Linnton also blew their whistles in
a series of welcoming salutes.
Among the decorated riverboats in
line were the J. X. Teal, the Georeri-
anna. the Ocklahama, the Shaver, tlx.
