With enthusiasm dally growing -In
volume the citizens of Portland are
preparing to send through the streets
of the city next Saturday, June 3, one
of the biggest parades In favor of pre
paredness for defense that has ever
marched in the West. ,
The demonstration in Portland will
be simultaneously -with similar demon
strations in 25 of the leading cities of
the United States, to give the country
a true idea of the attitude of the rep
resentative mass of the people toward
the question of preparedness.
While the parade will move in divi
sions according to .the organizations
that are participating, the participants
will be individual and all who believe
in the soundness of the doctrine of
peace through preparedness are being
asked to turn out.
The general committee In charge of
the movement, of which C. U. Ganten
bein is chairman, has been organized
only a week and already organizations
representing an aggregate membership
of between 80.000 and 40.000 have an

Each member of this committee has
gone out on a canvass of the busi

termination of seeing every lawyer in
the city and asking him to Join the
parade. Practically not a single re

one in the legal profession.

Three Days of Sunshine Will

Local rose, experts are busy these
days allaying what they take pleasure
in terming the "annual panic" over the
possibility of the roses not being well
in bloom at the opening "of the ,Rose
Festival. v
It does look as though there may
be some ground for the panic this year.
because the lateness of the Spring and
the recent cold, weather has held the
buds back seriously,, but the experts
reiterate their assurances that there
will be "roses to spare" for the Fes
tival.
"The buds are just ready to begin
bursting out now. said J. A. Currey
yesterday, "and if the weather man
will vouchsafe three days of sunshine
between now and the opening of the
Festival they will be In fine condition
at that time. The roses on Portland
Heights are a bit behind the roses in
the lower parts of the city, but there
ls no danger of there not being enough
roses.
B. B. JIcFarland corroborates the tes
timony of Mr. Currey and. predicts that
there will be plenty of roses.
"They are already well along and
we have 10 days' leeway," he said. "It
will be almost an impossibility for any
thing to happen to keep the roses from
being out well for the Festival. Peo
ple get in a psnic about this time every
year, but I have hardly ever known of
there being anything like a failure of
the rose crop for the Festival."
