Meaning of the "Spirit of the Golden West" Parade Glittering Pageant Tuesday Night to Be One of Features of Celebration, Typifying Fifty Tears' Development of Country, WITIt Its combination of historic interest, artistic beauty, and bril liant spectacular effect, the "Spirit of the Golden West" parade, Tuesday night, which will open the series of pageants of festival week, will sur pass, the Rose Festival committee de clares, anything of its kind ever attempt ed on the Pacific Coast. The finishing touches are now being added to the big floats for this display, out at the fair grounds, where the float builders and decorators are working busily behind closed doors, and carefully hiding from the eyes of the curious their interesting products and their . mysterious labors. Downtown costumers, too, are mysteri ous and as busy as bees, getting ready the hundreds of picturesque costumes to be worn by the present-day boys and girls and men and women who will im personate the famous historic characters of half a century ago. The "Spirit of the Golden West" idea has been carried out in detail, and with artistic care. In all the various floats which will compose this, one of the most Impressive and most interesting of the week's .brilliant pageants: From begin ning to end. tills parade will be redolent of that spirit of dauntless courage and progressiveness which has marked the development of the richly endowed West, from the days of the brave and hardy pioneers, fighting hostile Indians and wrestling mightily with the primeval for ests, up to the present day of modern cities, world-wide fame In natural de velopment, and mammoth undertakings tending towards the accomplishment of Splendid possibilities yet in store. Heading (he parade will be the Lewis and Clark float, representing the two great explorers arriving in Oregon, with the h'.ttorlo Indian woman. Sacajawea, pointing the way. As the climax, show ing the great attainments of the present day. after only a little more than half a century, a magnificent float represent ing ibe approaching fair at Seattle, the Alaska-Tukon-Paclfic Exposition, will conclude a long line of floats represent ing various intervening phases of West em life, history and development. Following the Lewis and Clark float will be the Louisiana Purchase float, showing the figures of colonial states men, diplomats. Emperor Napoleon and other historic personages, all in costume, and portraying the atmosphere of the time when the great purchase was made when so little was known of the vast riches dormant In the territory trans ferred, and when the name "Oregon" covered a vast area with no definite boundaries. Chief Multnomah and his council of warriors will be shown on Council Crest, considering the famous treaty, this float being a remarkably realistic piece of work. Portland's first house the little log cabin whose logs were hewn from the forests which then covered the present site of the city's skyscrapers, will be among the features of the pageant, the design being taken from an oil painting at the headquarters of the Oregon His torical Society at the City HalL Among the historic pioneer characters to be revived will be the beloved mis sionary. Father McLoughlin. Many other courageous men who figured In the mold ing of Western history will be repre sented with appropriate scenic vestures and settings. One of the striking designs is that of the "Western Civilization" float, which is In' the form of a huge rose, the vari ous petals of which represent different phases and factors leading up to the present development of the rich re sources of the West, and the evolution of Western civilization. "Rose-Planting Day" is the name of another interesting and beautiful float, and under the name "Early Inhabi tant" there will be a big float whereon will be seen Indians, bears. lions, elk and other primeval folk of the West. The scalping of white men by hostile Indians will be another feature of the parade, shown In tho "Coming of the White Man" float, and a glimpse Into pioneer perils and the horrors of the In dian massacre will be afforded by the realistic atmosphere. Many other floats, representing the struggles and triumphs of early Western days, will add to the general effect, and the "prairie schoon er," with its patient men and women plodding for months across the tedious wastes which are now spanned by rail roads and traversed in a few hours by passenger trains, will not be forgotten. The more impressive features of the parade will be varied by features show ing the humorous and amusing side of things, which Is also entitled to repre sentation In the "Spirit of the Golden West." The Seattle float, which will conclude the parade, will show one of the mam moth fair buildings now being built ori the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflo Exposition grounds; it also shows a giant wheel being turned by water, and numerous industries in operation. In miniature, with the official emblematic design of the Exposition in. exact reproduction. WOODMEX OF WORLD PARADE Street Pageant of Four Divisions to Be Given Xext Saturday.
