Today will mark the greatest Sunday
the I-ewis and Clark Exposition has yet
experienced. With a $rornmme that
extends through .tho entire day and
eenlng. there will he something io oc
cupy tho attention: of visitors all the
t!m. With favorable 'weather condi
tions the attendaaee will most probably
be greater than that of any' previous
Sunday.
The notable eveat of the day will be
the appearance at the Auditorium of
Rabbi Emll CJ. Hirsch. of Chicago. Rabbi
Hirsch will speak at the 4 o'clock serv
icer, and, rain or shine, hip audience is
bound to be a large one, since he is one
of the great preachers of America. The
Sunday services will be conducted by
Rev. Earl Morse Wilbur, dean of the
Oakland Theological School. There will
be a special musical programme in charge
of J Adrian Epplng. Several numbers
will bo sung by a quartet compost of
Mr Epplng. Dr. George Ainslie, Miss
Fe.-tha Fowler and Mtes P. Fowler, with
Miss Leonora Fischer as organist.
Concert by Liberati Band.
Preceding the religious services, there
will be a grand pacret concert by the
Liberati band. This will occur on Gray's
boulevard at the bandstand, and will in
clude several instrumental and vocal
solos. Included in the programme are
' Crucifix," grand medley of popular
hymns; "Rapary." cornet solo, and. How
Fair Thou Art," vocal duet. The pk
i"ts are Miss Marie Valdes and Bernard
Begue. soprano and baritone respective
ly The band will give a second concert
In the evening, beginning at 8 o'clock
and continuing until 10 o'clock.
Liberati' band, by the way. has al-
ready won Portland by its excellent
music, and is declared" to be the peer of
any musical organization that ever ap
peared in . the city. .Daily concerts are
given and Liberati's idea, as he ex
presses, it. is to give the vlBitors the
kind of music, they like, rather than the
particular kind' that suits his own fancy.
Rain does not interfere with the con
certs, for the spaclous Agricultural pal
ace affords an excellent place for music
when the weather does not admit of us
ing the bandstand.
Not only today, but the succeeding
days of this week are of more than usual
importance. Independence day. Tuesday,
will be one of the great occasions of the
Fair. The demonstrations of that occa
sion will be on a scale fitting to the oc
casion. Special excursions from points
throughout Oregon and the entire Coast
and Northwest should bring the largest
crowd to the Exposition that has yet
been here. Exposition officials confident
ly expect to see the attendaifee record
shattered.
British Columbia. Washington and
Idaho cities will send special delegations
during the week. The Idaho cities that
have arranged to come include Welssr,
PocatellOt Lewlston -and Wallace. The
majority of the participating Idaho cities
have postponed their celebrations until
later in the season.
A large excursion Is due the day after
the Fourth from Victoria and Vancou
ver. B. C. The week will be officially
known as British Columbia week, and
that country has promised a representa
tion of several hundred at least.
Traffic Acents Will Meet.
Tomorrow evening, at the American
Inn. Lewis and Clark Fair, will be held
the last meotlng of the first district di
vision of the Pacific Coast Association
of Traffic Agents as now constituted. At
the annual meting held at San Jose last
February the parent body ordered that
the first district, comprising territory
north of California, be divided, and the
action that will be taken here is pur
suant to that.
District No. 4 will be created to em
brace territory- north and west of the
Cqlumblba River In Washington, and
British Columbia. Oregon, that part of
Washington east and south of the Co
lumbia and Idaho to the continental di
vide, forms the first district, still re
tained here because this was the point
where the association was founded. Offi
cers for the first district as created will
be elected, and officers for the new
fourth district will be chosen at a meet
ing, to be called at a later date, the pres
ent officers of the first being residents of
that division and will probably act until
their successors are chosen. Committees
fo tentertalnment of th American Asso
ciation of Traveling Passenger Agents
will be selected. There will be no for
mal entertainment programme, and
aftr cicluding business the members
and ladles present will be served lunch
eon in the dining-room of the Inn.
Army Hands for Exposition.
The offor of the War Department to
detail Army bands to the Exposition,
provided transportation is paid by the
Fair ' management, was accepted yes-'
tcrday. Transportation will be ar
ranged at once for the Fourth Cavalry
Mounted Band, stationed at Walla
Walln.. This- organization play's from
horseback, and is one of the best mili
tary bunds in the United States service.
After a month of daily concerts, the
Fourth Cavalry Band will return to its
station and will be replaced by the
Tenth Infantry Band, from Fort Law
ton, which will be followed In turn
by the Sixth Artillery Band, from Fort
Worden. The Fourteenth Infantry
Band, from Vancouver, will conclude
the season.
While at the Exposition the bands
will occupy tents In tho model military
camp on the Government peninsula.
The presence of these hands will en
able the combined military forces at
the Fair to give impressive reviews
and dross parades as well as a daily re
treat parade.
Organ Ilccltnl at Exposition.
The organ recital In the Auditorium at
the Exposition yesterday afternoon was
attended by a large crowd of music
lovers, although at practically the same
hour the Trail was dedicated and the
"Tacoma" Day exorcises were held.
Frederick W. Goodrich, the organist,
rendered a popular programme to the
utmost enjoyment of his audience. Two
of the numbers particularly well received
were the "Allegro Pomposa," by Sir Hen
ry Bishop, and the "Bridal March," by
Ganz.
Although the organ is rather small, its
volume Is excellent completely filling
the building. Mr. Goodrich was assisted
by Mrs. Millie Perkins, who rendered sev
eral vocal solos. She has a wonderful
voice and received such outbursts of ap
plause that she was obliged to gle
encores.
Kllpatrlck to Ride.
The free amusement feature of the
week will be Kllpatrlck. the daring cyc
list and automoblllst. He will make four
daily trips down a long slldeway at the
Bridge of Nations. At 1 P. M. he will
make the mad ride on a bicycle and at 4
o'clock will perform the feat with an
automobile. He will ropent the pro
gramme in the evening at S o'clock and
10 o'clock.

THE WORD
Boosters From Puget Sound
City Make Exposition
Lively.
PARADE THROUGH STREETS
Literary" Exercises Breathe Spirit
of Enterprise and Healthy Em
ulation on the Lewis and
Clark Grounds.
Bonds of friendship between Portland
and Tacoma ware made stronger yester
day, when SOOT persons came over- from
the City of Destiny and took the Exposi
tion by storm. "Watch Tacoma Grow"
was the slogan of the visitors from the
time .they reached the gates to the final
outburst of galty on the Trail last night.
Every sightseer at the Fair knew it was
Tacomn day. The fact was Impressed
upon him from every hand. Yards and
yards of printed streamers proclaimeo
the glories of Tacoma, and brass bands
and speeches sounded from every nook
and corner of the grounds.
"Tacoma Boosters" came by special
train, and boosted everywhere they had a
chance. Tacoma was on every Up and
tongue, and during the exercises held In
the Washington building In the afternoon
the very mention of the Puget Sound
city brought cheers from every throat.
Two Extrn Specials.
So many of the visitors came to the
Fair that the Northern Pacific officials
had to pur 6n two special trains of 11
coaches each to accommodate the crowds.
Joseph N. Dolph, assistant to Secretary
Reed, of the Exposition, had been In Ta
coma for several days, and succeeded in
stirring up enthusiasm to the safety valve
limit, and was largely Instrumental In
securing the large attendance from the
Sound. The two trains started early In
the day. and reached Pprtland shortly
after noon.
On the way across the Kalama ferry,
somebody suggested that It would be ap
propriate to hold exercises as the ex
cursion passed from one state to an
other, which was forthwith done. L. W.
Piatt represented the "Boosters." and J.
N. Dolph the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion. Short speeches were made, and the
boat landed at the Oregon shore amid the
cheers of the many passengers-.
The "Boosters' " train was pulled up
Fourth street to Washington, where the
excursionists disembarked, and paraded
the streets of Portland, lend by the
"Boosters" " band. Troop B xt the Wash
ington militia. Captain E. G. Griggs was
grand marshal of the day.
After the visitors toured the streets for
an hour or so. they marched en masse to
the Exposition gates, where they poured
In through every turnstile. They took
complete possession of the grounds and
their decorations, and printed banners
were everywhere.
Tacoma Day Exercises.
Tacoma Day exercises took -place in
the Washington building in the north gal
lery, with Mayor G. B. Wright as master
of ceremonies. The "Boosters band
and De Ca prlo's organization furnished
the musical numbers.
Mayor Wright introduced President
Goodc, who made a short address of wel
come. 'President Goodc spoke of the many
brilliant prospects of Tacoma. and re
ferred to the city's big dlnner-pall parade
and her manufacturing Industries. -Pierce
County was also congratulated on her
splendid showing, and the visitors were
made welcome to the grounds.
Then Van Dowd, a 14-year-old schoolboy,
read his original poem. "Watch Tacoma
Grow." It was this poem that won the
prize for the most original saying in tt
recent competition In Tacoma, and se
cured for Master Dowd a free trip to the
1XBERATI AND
Exposition from the Pierce County com
missioners. The poem follows:.
There's a tonic In these sayings
That repeated every day
Strikes a Joyful chord within you.
As you hear your neighbor; say:
"Get a move on! Keep a-hustllng!
Don't get tired, lazy, slow;
If, you use your eyes with wisdom
You will WATCH TACOMA GROW."
It Is just os true as preaching
That a city will Improve " .
If tho people living In it "
Push with vjgor as they move.
Then boost your town, vour home and
fireside:
Talk them op where'er you go;
Strangers then will come to see us.
And they'll WATCH TACOMA GROW.
Now you knocker, take a day off
When you're feeling- blue and glum.
Note these buildings climbing skyward.
Hear our many factories hum.
When you've done this once or twice, sir:
Seen the crowds pass to and fro..
You'll become a "booster" with us
For you've WATCHED TACOMA
- GROW.
Buy your goods, your wares and trappings
At the stores within your town; ,
Boom your schools, your parks, your
roses. . .
Let a smile replace that frown. .
Then with ginger, hustle, rustle.
Till the mosabacks have no show;
That will help to make It larger.
As you WATCH TACOMA GROW.
Speeches of the Day.
Congressman 'Cushman spoke on the
greatness of the North Pacific States,
and how' truly the Exposition reflected
the glory of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, commonwealths that were origin
ally the great Oregon -country. Mr.
ONE OF TirE TACOMA BOOSTERS.
Donald Fletcher.
Cushrrian also referred to the excellent
work done in Congress by the members
of the Oregon delegation that secured the
appropriation for the Lewis ajid Clark
Exposition. i
Robert L. McCormack. president of the
Lumbermen's Bank, of Tacoma. won a
wealth of applause during the course of
his remarks, which followed thoso .of
Congressman Cushman.
This is not Portland's Exposition."
said Mr. McCormack. "but the Pacific
Coast's. We arc said to be SOO years
behind the Eastern states in our start
for ilevelopment. but somebody has said
that it was a good thing for the East
that It "was discovered first. The rock
coast needed the first- settlement. In order
that It might become populated at all.
"When Calhoun and Webster were
ready to sacrifice this great- Northwest,
Dr. Lewis Fields Linn and Thomas
Benton, Senators from Missouri, pro
tested and secured for the American Na
tion the great country with which we
are all so familiar.
Tacoma Worthy Competitor.
"Tacoma Is a worthy competitor with
Portland for the commerce of the world.
We havo magnificent lumbering Indus
tries, an unexcelled harbor, a smelter
that Is the equal of any on the Coast,
a dinner-pail brigade, and railroad shops,
all of which are backed up with line men
and beautiful women. We have brought
with us today samples of the latter.""
L. W. Pratt, president of the Boosters,
made a few remarks on his organization
and was followed by Hon. Ezra Meeker,
an .honored and respected pioneer of
HIS FAMOUS HAfD, NOW I'LAYINO AT
Puyallup. Mr. Meeker spoke of the early
daya. and the great development that he
had witnessed during his life on Puget
Sound.
Speech by Mayor Wright.
During the course of' the exercises,
Mayor Wright made the following re
marks: "We recall with pleasure that In the
year 1900. when the Tacoma Elks held a
carnival in the City of Tacoma for a
period of two weeks that the people of
Portland visited us m goodly numbers
upon that occasion and came to our city
and stayed with us many days, partici
pating In the festivities of that occasion
with every evidence of good will and good
fellowship. It Is a characteristic of great
ness for which the people of Portland are
noted, that they not only know how to
receive visitors and to entertain them,
but they are also willing to do their part
In making a visit to a neighboring city.
"c feel called upon to compliment
and commend the splendid pluck and en
terprise of your city In Inaugurating and
carrying forward successfully this great
enterprise of the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial Exposition to commemorate the
great feat of those early pathfinders In
exploring for the first time what was
then an unknown wilderness, but which
has since developed Into a country - so
favored by Nature- In climate, natural re
sources of soil, minerals and everything
that goes to make up an empire of the
first magnitude in agricultural. Industrial
and commercial pursuits.
Noteworthy Historic Fact.
"And I might mention here a note
worthy historical fact, worthy of more
than passing notice, a fact that gives
us pleasure to contemplate and that the
Inhabitants of the State of Oregon and
Washington can cherish and remember
with pride throughout the ages yet to
come, namely, that the territory now
made into the States of Oregon and
Washington never at any time during the
early history of this continent acknowl
edged fealty or "allegiance to any flag
save and except 'Old Glory, the Stars and
Stripes." No other statos In the Ameri
can Union can make this claim. All the
territory east of the Mississippi River
was at one time under English sov
ereignty and the territory west of the
Mississippi River, extending to the Rocky
Mountains was held by'the French, while
the southwestern territories. Including
California, was under the dominion of
the Mexican government, leaving only
the territory which Is now tho states of
Oregon and Washington, which can
claim, as we do, that we never gave al
legiance to any other power than that
of our own Government.
Doubles Its Population.
"The city which I have the honor to
reproscnt on this occasion has achieved
the distinction of doubling Its population
within the last five years, and I shall
undortako very briefly to state a few of
the reasons that make Tacoma grow.
Tacoma Is the youngest of the large
cities on the Pacific Coast. Its rapid rlso
In the early stages of Iti growth created
considerable comment and It was charged
by those who were envious of the city's
success that Tacoma was a corporation
creature hatched under the paternal wing
of the Northern Pacific Railway. While
It Is true that this Influence may have
accelerated the early growth of the town.
It has been a long time since It entirely
ceased and for the past many years the
gront combination amongst railroads do
Ins business on the Pacific Coast that
have been made In the East, have worked
for the benefit of rival cltlej. and Tacoma
has been thrown upon her own resources
and upon her own self reliance to work
out her own destiny."
They Hit the Trail.
Last night Tacomans hit the Trail.
They wound up the exercises of tho day
with a burst of glory on. Amusement
street, and finished a fitting celebration
In commemoration for the City of
Destiny. Many of the visitors will re
main In Portland for several days and
will have further opportunity of seeing
the Lewis and Clam Centennial.
During the exercises in the Washing
ton building yesterday, the hostesses held
informal reception, and served cakes and
punch. The Puyallup delegation gave
away over 5000 small boxes of red rasp
berries, showing one of the great indus
tries of that section of the sfatc.

Amusement Pageant Is Sight
Which Astonishes Even
Concessionaires.

ered by President Goode
and Geo. h. Ilutchln.
Strange animals, magnificent floats,
Arabian horses in elaborate trappings,
flower-decked automobiles and car
riages, beautiful women in gorgeous
costumes, clowns in grotesque and
laughable attire, constituted tho most
stupendous and wonderful amusement
pageant In the history of entertainment
enterprises yesterday afternoon at the
Exposition when the concessionaires
united in giving: a parade In conjunc
tion with the formal opening: of the
Trail. The parade was far more gor
geous and extensive than that present
ed by the largest circus In vho world.
It was fully a mile In length ,nd rep
resented an immense outlay.
The Exposition officials and t..e con
cessionaires were themselves amazed
at tlje parade, ns never before had they
realized the magnitude of the greatest
of amusement enterprises. The thous
ands of spectators who witnessed the
remarkable pageant were almost un
bounded In their enthusiasm, and the
route of the parade was the Kcene of a
continuous ovation.
Formation of Parade.
The parade, which formed in front nf
the Government building and on the
Bridge of All Nations, made a tour
through the Trail and back to the
starting point, where It disbanded. It
was headed by a platoon of the Expo
sition, guards and the Administration
Band. All of the concessions on the
Trail yere represented. There were
four bands In the parade.
Not enough carriages were procur
able in Portland to meet the demands
of the employes of the Trail, and many
of those who participated were obliged
to ride in tallyhos. The carriages and
other vehicles were beautifully decor
ated with flowers and bunting of all
descriptions. The actors and actresses,
performers, acrobats, chorus girls and
others connected with the various
shows rode In carriages.
Among the larger displays In the
parade were the entire Klralfy Carni
val of Venice troupe. Wild Animal
Show. Fair Japan and the .Streets of
Cairo. Homer Davenport was a con
spicuous figure In the parade, riding
one of his famed Arabian horses. Kll
patrlck, the daredevil aut'omoblllst and
bicyclist, who enters upon an engage
ment at the Exposition, also partici
pated. The Government Hfesavers and
the Exposition fire department brought
up the rear of the parade.
The exercises of the day were held
on a platform at the head of the Trail.
In. front of which the parade passed to
be reviewed by President H. W. Goode,
On the platform were seated the Expo
sition ofilclala and representatives of
the Trail Amusement Association.
Georgo I Hutchin presided over the
. exercises. President Gqode was the flrst
speaker, being Introduced by Mr.
Hutchin amid great applause.
i Address by Goode.
' "I have had the privilege of address
ing many meetings since the opening
of the Exposition, but never before
have I taken such pleasure as I do now
In saying a few words pf welcome and
, commendation to the concessionaires.
The .amusement features are, in -my
t opinion, the most important part of an

Five years ago, for the year ending:
January 31. 1S00. the annual sales of Eilers
Piano House amounted to 5113,925, which:
was considered In those days a most re
markable showing. Six months later the
Ellers House had outstripped every ono
of its competitors, and at. that time its
payment famous $1000 challenge was Is
sued In support of Its claim that its sales
each month and each year were greater
than the sale of all other dealers In Ore
gon combined.
Each succeeding year haa shown a most
substantial lncreaso over preceding pe-k
riods. and for 'the year ending January 31.
1905, the total annual sales amounted tr
Jl.yj2.268. or an Increase of nearly one mil

"The concessionaires on the Trail
have builded greater than thejr knew."
said George Hutchin. who delivered the.
responding address. "They have erect
ed pleasing monuments in the minds of
men that will pass Into history and live
for ages yet to come. Their temples
are massive structures, representing
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
patience, time and skill. "(Today the
Trail is in readiness to receive all those
who would be amused. Instructed and.
entertained."
Mr. Hutchin then presented to Presi

sionaires, two enormous keys, which he
said would unlock the doors to rich
treasures of entertainment. President
Goode acknowledged .the keys to the
amusement enterprises in a. .".short
