THE STJXDAr OREGONIAy. TOIlTLAyP, JULY 5, 1914, ; PARADE IS END DF TIMES F Green Monster's Death Shown by Special Float Offered by Ad Club Members. THOUSANDS SEE PAGEANT All Attractions of Closing; Night ot Rose Festival and Additional One Move In Splendor Through Streets. Portland signed a new declaration cf Independence last night. It was a declaration to be independ ent In future of the "hard times" bugaboo and Its signing was accom panied by all the splendor and glory of the artistic electrical parade that wound up the Rose Festival celebration three weeks ago. The Portland Ad Club acted as Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, John Adams and all the other original sign ers combined, while a delighted pop ulace rang the liberty bell of approval with handclapplng and cheers. Last night's parade was the one spec tacular feature of Portland's otherwise quiet observance of the National hol iday. It was offered by the Portland Ad Club, both aa a patriotic entertain ment and as an inspiration for new local confidence In the future prosper ity of the country. Bugaboo's End Is Shown. The pageant consisted of all the at tractive floats that were viewed by thousand at the close of Rose Festival week, with the-addition of an original offering upon which the bugaboo of hard times was crushed and destroyed beyond possible resurrection. This bugaboo, which the admen, like President tvilson, agree is purely psychological, was represented in the shape ot an ugly green demon, writh ing and struggling under the heels of four triumphant demon-slayers, who answered to the names. "Prosper ity," "Bumper Crops," "Confidence" and "Optimism." Psychological Effect Immediate. The psychological effect of this dem onstration was Immediate, and the Ad Club members expect it to be lasting. The crowds howled their delight when they saw the omen of business de pression put to a bitter and merciless end. As the Ad Club's original ,float brought up the rear of the procession, a committee of its officers rode at its head. In the decorated machine were C. F. Eerg, president of the club; J. E. Werlein. K. . Hewitt and Roy W. Ed wards, attired In uniforms. They sa luted and smiled as the people shouted their appreciation. Captain J. T. Moore was in charge of the police arrangements. He Cov ered the entire route, which was nearly twice as long as that of the Rose Fes tival parade. The spectators were spat tered over the entire line. Captain Moore said, however, that the crowd last night was not as large as the pre- vious crowd. " Pageant Draws Thousands. The pageant served, however, to bring thousands of Portland people into the business district and attracted other thousands from nearby towns Into the city. Many were disappointed that the pa rade did not pass over "the great light way." as Third street, with Us illumi nated arches, has come to be known. The Improved Order of Red Men t . I ii u .( a nrnmlnent nart In the festivities. Decorated with Indian war paint and feathers, they rode on norse back immediately behind the squad of mounted police.

The float "Multnomah," that did serv ice in the Festival parade as a carrier innthar hand. last night con tained a chorus of nearly 100 men and women, who, under direction of Pro testor Boyer, sang patriotic songs. As they passed the Elks building, at anil Rtirk street, they sang "Auld Lang Syne," which is one of the adoDted songs of the miKS. xm .uubts- . 1 1 .r nnmpjatfid the COmDll 1UVI1 . -a a- - ment and voiced their approval long and loud. . , The : crowds -at" "the corner of Oak mnA Rrnariwav had a lot of fun .. nf the men attending the floats.
