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 police band furnished music for
the heud of the line. The members
rode, as before, on the beautifully dec
orated float "Oregon." Patriotic airs
. ,ka. nrlnclnfll of fprin CS. TllO
', Firemen's Band occupied the elaborate

Float Carries Chorus.
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-

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. The trolley wire at that
point Is unusually and unnecessarily
high and a long pole was used to make
the eleotric connection.
Frequently the floats would be com
pelled to stop mere unm mo sunn-
