the throngs of watchers deej from the
first block of Its long course to the
very last.
The bulk of the detail work con
nected with the formation of the big
parade yesterday fell upon Grand Mar
shall I. P. Campbell, who, through ef
ficient work, sent the parade on its
way but a few moments following the
scheduled hour, without the least bit
of confusion.
The new commander of the Oregon
national guard. Adjutant-General Con
rad Stafrin of Dallas, occupied a seat
in the executive car with Governor Ol
cott. M. O. Wilkins, president of the
Oregon Motor Car Dealers, and H. B.
Waggoner also rode in the governor's
car.
Many Battlefields Represented.
In rose and bunting decorated cars,
exemplifying the purpose and spirit of
the parade, rode delegations of the
three branches of the service soldiers,
sailors and marines. But behind them
came the mightier concourse of march
ing men. from all the fields of France
and all the seas through which Ameri
ca's ships plough their way.
One hundred and twenty tars of the
flagship Minneapolis, flagship of Ad
miral Fullam. distinguished naval
guest and patron of the victory festival,
went by in perfect review, led by their
own band of 25 pieces, which scarcely
paused between tunes on the long route
ahead.
Leading the sailors' band was First
Musician A. G. Miller, and a voice from
the ranks wished it to be known that
three Oregon boys were adding to the
melody of the Minneapolis. They proved
to be "W. H. McClure, of Monmouth,
E-flat bass: V. L. Massie, of Grants
Pass, saxophone; Leo Klecker, of Salem,
cornet.
Overseas Stripes Prominent.
The ranks of "gobs," as they heartily
desire to be styled, were commanded
by Lieutenant F. M. Orton. with Knsign
H. M. Kitchen as adjutant. Command
ing the 1st company was Lieutenant J.
Bowman, with Lieutenant L. S. Taylor
in command of the 2d company.
"Fully one-half of these boys," said
Ensign Kitchen, with proper pride, "saw
active service on transports, destroy
ers and cruisers and battleships, as
well as the many who served with the
Minneapolis. Look at them and you'll
see the overseas stripes."
Stepping in true military fashion
came the Oregon national guard in
command of Major J. Francis Drake.
Although reorganized but a few months
ago, the members of the companies
represented in the parade yesterday
show the effect of excellent training
of the superior officers, many of whom
have seen service overseas.
30O Rational Guardsmen March.
In all there were approximately 300
national guardsmen in line, with six
companies, headquarters company in
command of Captain C. E. Russ, com
pany E- in command of Captain Reed,
company F in command of Captain
Rice, with battery A, engineers; headed
by Captain Rufus V. Frost and bat
tery B in command of Captain Arthur
Foster.
Colorbearers of the national guard
were Private F. S. Huit, who carried
the regimental emblem, and Private C.
Thomas, who bore the stars and stripes.
The color guards were Privates W. P.
Gailey and W. A. WurL
01st Leader Is Here.
Admiral Fullam, gracious and smiling,
rode with Senator Mulkey, chairman
of the reception committee for the
naval officers, and members of the staff
of the flagship Minneapolis occupied
Boats in a machine following the ad
miral's car.
It is to be doubted if many of the !
spectators guessed the identity of the
keen-faced officer who rode at the right
hand of the rear seat in the car which
followed that of Admiral Fullam a car
which bore a golden eagle. Yet all
Oregon, and. for that matter, its sister
states of the northwest, would do him
honor with hearty accord.
He was Ma jor-General AVilliam H.
.lohnston. who commanded the cele
brated 91st division in France, and
whose men worked wonders of valor
in the Argonne fighting and in Flan
ders, when they drove the picked troops
of Prussia in utter rout and bore their
full share of the fierce fighting that
broke the German will to conquer.
General Iteview. Parade.
General Johnston visited Portland es
pecially for the purpose of reviewing
the military parade of the festival. He
wears a distinguished service cross for
gallantry in action, was cited for his
exceptional services in France, and was
also decorated by the French anfl Bel
gian governments.
From Vancouver Barracks came Col
onel Koester, Colonel Van Way, Major
Lewis and Captain Patiner. all veterans
of several wars, who represented the
regular Vnited States army. The Great
Lakes naval station, one of the largest
training points operated by the United
States navy department, was represent
ed by a number of naval officers who
are in Portland on short furloughs.
The men who are giving the festival
visitors thrills each day, Lieutenant
Colonel Watson and pilots in his fleet,
came next in line. With Colonel Wat
son rode Lieutenants Neubig and
Hackett and In the car following were
Lieutenant Krull, the "dare-devil of the
air," Lieutenants Bevan, Schwartz and
Case and Milton Klepper, president of
the Oregon Aero club.
Seaplane Pilots in Air.
Knsigns McMurray and Lee, the two
men who are handling the huge sea
planes, did not appear in the line of
inarch, but instead thrilled the parade
viewers with wonderful exhibitions of
flying skill over the city. The two
naval aviators were in the air for
about 50 minutes during the afternoon.
But Ensign McMurray's father, William
McMurray, chairman of the festival
aviation entertainment committee, rode
down the line of march, with other of
ficials of the fiesta, while his son
curvetted aloft in the huge naval
plane.
With Chief of Police Joel Warren of
Seattle leading them on from his rose
wreathed car, the Seattle police band
dispensed a dozen different tunes in
competition with the purely local
talent and drew its meed of genu
inely hearty plaudits. In Chief War
ren's car were Mrs. Warren. Captain
and Mrs. E. L. Hedges and Mrs. N. F.
Johnson, of Portland, wife of Chief of
Police Johnson. The auto was driven
by Chauffeur H. J. Weedon of the Se
attle force.
Drum Major Makes Hit.
A firely imposing personage is
Drum Major Fred A. Ribback, of the
Seattle police band, an old-time ser-

greant, whose terrific bear-skin shako
is belied by the genial voice that issues
therefrom or thereabouts. W. 10. Carr,
of the force, leads the bandsmen ;
while the color-bearers are Sergeant
Frank Olmsted, intrusted with the
departmental flag, and Sergeant Guy
Carlton, who bears the stars and
stripes.
A note of floral color, as striking'
as any that will be sounded in the
pageant of tomorrow, was evidenced
by the entry of the United States
quartermaster corps, one of the
largest individual features of the line
of march. Two gaily caparisoned
trucks, one a riot of pink roses and
evergreens, the other brilliant with
golden Scotch broom and white daisies,
carried crews of young women em
ployes, dressed in speckless white.
Gleven cars comprised the section.
In the third car of the quarter
master corps contingent rode two
gentlemen who hold the unique and
distinguished records of having a com
bined total of 110 years of active and
continuous affiliation with the depart
ment. They were Ira M. Swartz and
William H. Cook.
Army True Its Are Seen.
Modern warfare without the latest
mode of transportation would be a fail
ure and the sturdy trucka of the west
ern motor transport of the United
States army had a prominent place In
the line of march.
President Riggs and the director of
the Rose Festival preceded the Royal
Rosarian band. The Royal Rosarlane,
perhaps the busiest body of men in the
city at the present time, entertaining
visitors, attending and adding color to
all official functions, made an excel
lent appearance as they marched in
escort to the returned soldiers, cailors
and marines in the parade yesterday.
Then came, in lithe, inspiring review,
the ra,nks of the American Legion, that
organization of men who answered
America when she asked her sons for
service. The division, of more than 600
men, wae under direct command of
Captain E. J. Eivers, with the follow
ing staff Captain Floyd Cook, James
Conway, Sergeant Frost, Private Wag
ner, Lieutenant Thomas Greer, Lieuten
ant Orvin Peabody, Lieutenant C- L.
Mullen, Raymond Williams and Ser
geant Clarence W. Twining.
Service Men Are Cheered.
Rank after rank the lines swept past,
their course one long, compelling cheer
soldiers, sailors and mar i nee, with
their colors spread fluttering before
them. There was a. colored squad, as
well, overseas men all, led by Sergeant
Buck Wright, and with the blue uni
form of a sailor, lending contrast to the
olive drab. The tar was Paul Robin
son, who served on the Western Ocean,
a Portland-built ship.
The tempestuous spirits of the young ;
veterans brooked little restraint until
they were in the order of march, and
stepping out with the smooth, clean, j
mile-mauling stride of the veteran. A
moment before their officers called
them to formation they scattered in a I
raid on a rose hedge and stripped it of
its pink beauty, placing the flowers in
their caps. i
Wounded Veterans Gay.
Followed several cars of laughing
lads, who didn't seem to mind the fact
that they were not on the march but
each of whom is marked with the badge
of battle, disabled veterans all. They
wore steel helmets, mostly tilted at
rakish angles, and swung a banner that
proclaimed them to be "Just Buck Pri
vates."
In no previous war in American his
tory have the women of the land ob
tained rightful recognition, but in the
world conflict every force that might
be utilized to attain the objective
peace and victory was pressed into
service, and as a result hundreds of pa
triotic women of the land entered the
navy as yeomen.
Six of these trim women appeared
in the victory parade, dressed in the
natty blue uniform which has been
adopted for the members of this im
portant division. In one car rode Chief
Teoman Margaret Malloy and First
Class Yeoman Evelyn Nesbitt. In the
next car were First-Class Yeomen
Louise Boyd, A. G. Crossley, T. K. Mof
fat and Ruth Hanson.
Bomb Planter in Line.
Sixty sturdy men, bronzed from life
on the high seas, the majority wearing
the overseas stripes, and representing
service on convoys, submarine destroy
ers and chasers, troop and cargo car
riers, were led by Ensign B. J. Beattie,
who was aided by Ensign Robert N.
Munley and S. B. McDonald. In this
contingent strode Fred Da Rock, who
did hazardous work as a deep sea diver
with the United States navy. Diver
De Rock's principal occupation during
17 months of the war was planting
bombs in the sea as a protection to en
trances to harbors of the allied na
tions. The "devil dogs," or former members
of the United States marines, were on
hand, with some 50 men led by Lieu
tenant C. L. Mullen. The marines were
handicapped in placing men in line be
cause of the necessity of a large force
of men to make preparations for the
miMtary ball staged last night by the
Devil Dogs club at the Multnomah
hotel.
Scotch. Bagpipers Feature.
The Scotch bagpipers what music
has more thrills in it? preceded the
Canadian contingent, the pipers and
drummer gay with the tartan of Clan
Gordon, a famous highland plaid that
has won honor on many fields. Pipe
Major G. K. McDonald, leading the
kilties, wore a dozen medals on his
breast, attesting his skill and mastery
of the bagpipe, at least one of them
won in contest with famous pipers of
Scotland, at a London holiday. Lettered
across the silver is the statement that
its wearer received eight English
pounds for his ability that day in
pibroch playing. At his side marched

the organization.
Veterans of the Canadian army, more
than 100 of them, who fought in every
battle during- the great world conflict,
marched with light step and erect man
ner, characteristic of these wonderful
fighters.
Lieutenant Birth In Command.
"Americans all, and loyal to Port
land" is their motto, they said, many
having entered the Canadian army be
cause they could not await the end of
diplomatic exchange which finally con
cluded with America's entry into the
war.
The contingent was commanded by
Lieutenant H. A. Blyth. who was as
sisted by Lieutenant J. A. Gallagher.
At the request of these two officers
Sergeant J. Smith entered the ranks in
civilian attire and marched with. the
Canadian warriors. James E. McBride
of the 42d Canadian regiment and H. W.
Smith of the Seaforth Highlanders were
the color-bearers, with YV. F. Bend of
the 20th battalion and Charles Burk of
the 7th battalion of the 2d division of
the Canadian army as color guards.
Goddess of Liberty Honored.
As the Canadian contingent passed
the reviewing stand in the grandstand
on West Park street. Lieutenant Blyth
issued the order which resulted in a
salute by the commander with the eyes
of all veterans turned in the direction
of the stand, in honor of the 'goddess
of liberty.
An auspicious showing was made by
the band of the Abd-Uhl-Atef temple
No. 17, D. O. K. K.. the shrine of the
Knights of Pythias. The band is newly
organized and is composed only of
members of the organization. Frank
Maughan is the leader, Theodore Frie
burg drum major and Harry C. Hunter
manager.
The band members appeared dressed
in blue sauve trousers, green and gold
tunics, scarlet cummerbund and blue
phez. It was the first public ap
pearance of the band in Portland and
won applause at every point along She
line of march.
Boy Sconts In Line.
Then young America came by, the
lively light-marching ranks of the boy
scouts, 400 in all, marshaled by Scout
Leader Brockway, with their own
colors leading them. Their bugler was
Henry Thomas and the color-bearer
was Charles Meyer.
One of the busiest cars in the of
ficial flotilla was that driven by Cap
tain Duncan E. Nease, with three over
seas passengers in addition to the
soldierly young chauffeur. First in
Interest, there can be no doubt of that,
was the sharp-eared German police
dog, now a belligerent American oa
nine, whose " name is "Gievres." pro
nounced suprisingly as "Jev" that of
one of the largest A. E. F. supply
depots in the Tours district. He came
back from Germany and France with
Lieutenant O. S. Peabody. who rode
at his side, and he bestowed his favors
equally upon his master and Lieu
tenant Tom Greer.
There was a lengthy, cheer-enlivened

the Grand Army as their passengers

to the plaudits. The men who answered
Lincoln were led by their departmental
commander, T. H. Stevens. With him
were other state officials of the Grand
Army J. S. Chambers, senior vice-commander-in-chief,
and C. A. Williams,
adjutant.
The national league for women's
service entered several flag and flower
decorated cars. One of these was
driven by Captain 13. J. Stevenson, in
uniform, with her sons as passengers.
Both boys were in uniform B. L. Mc
Clalr, Jr., and Knowlan Stevenson, who
served overseas with the old Third Ore
gon. Mrs. A. M. Jacobe, Mrs. Steven
son's mother, sat by her grandsons.
The war camp community service ex
emplified its purpose by presenting
each of the overseas men who marched
in the American Legion with large pa
per keys, inscribed as follows:

"War camp community service co
operating with the Victory Rose Festival

erans of two American wars.
Several automobiles carried members
of the United Spanish-American War
auxiliaries, of which Mrs. Thomas Bod
ley is commander.
Two sections of Campbell's American
band added to the marching music of
the parade, which concluded its long
course witnout incident other than the
tumultuous-applause that was accord
ed it.
"A Victory Festival parade that will
be remembered long after other feat

summed up sentiment of Portland and
its multitude of holiday guests.

CITY TO RUNPOWER PLANT
Municipal Control of Lights and
Water Planned at Florence.
FLORENCE, Or.,- June. II. (Special.)
Municipal management of light and
water for the city, will be tried.
Several years ago the city built a
pumping- station and distribution sys
tem to supply water, but power to
operate the -pump has been furnished
by the Florence Electric company. The
company's plant is much larper than
is needed and burns wood. ThiA has .
made It so expensive that patrons were
confronted with the prospect of a sub
stantial increase in rates or doing
without ltichts.
To avoid this, the city council will
purchase a crude oil engine to supply
the power and will lease the distribu
tion system of the electric company.
At the special election it was voted to
issue bonds .for 12000 to purchase the
eneinp.
