A quiet man, large and dressed In conventional afternoon attire, sat in the Observation car and looked out at the panorama of Oregon as it waa unrolled by tbe onward rush of the iron monster whose every move ment was in response to tho guiding in fluence of the hand of Richard Morris, engineer. Occasionally the President turned to reply to some question asked by men who, dressed just like himseir sat quietly about him.. There was no pomp or ceremony, no glittering array of courtiers and no dasillng uniforms of state. Blackening its speed tho train hung for a moment suspended above the mud dy waters of the Willamette and then came to a stop. The large, quiet man arose and went out upon the platform of the car. To those who cheered he .bowed a frank and graceful acknowl edgment of their compliment and passed on Into the watting carriage. Happy without elation, pleased but not eager, dignified without reserve, Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the American nation, waa an American and a man. Wksa the Clock Struck Twelve. .

Long be fore the hour announced for the arrival of the Presidential party the people were Jammed and packed in the streets. each struggling for a position that would better enable him or her to see Presi dent Theodore Roosevelt and the magnlfl oent pageant gathered to do him honor. Before it was yet fully light guests of the city began to assemble. On spe cial cars, Jy train and in every variety of vehicle they came, and from every diatrict and direction. Few excursion specials were run, but all regular trains carried extra coaches and hundreds of sightseers from all parts of the coun try came pouring Into Portland through out the entire morning. It was esti mated by railroad agents that 20.000 people wpuld rendezvous here to greet the President, and indications are that this amount has been greatly exceeded. A large number of visitors came Into Portland yesterday and aa a reault all hotels and lodging houses were crowd ed last night This congestion, it Is ex pected, will be greatly relieved tonight as few will remain until tomorrow, train facilities being such that all who de sire can return to their homes this evening". -Led, White and Bine. Never before in the history of Portland or of the Pacific Northwest have flags been so abundant as they are today.

The tall hold-up searched jind robbed the passengiifs, snd performed ' the desper ate, work with great neatness and dla pntch, never onco displaying evidences Of nervousness. He passed a few re marks, mostly directed to no one in particular, and to every ono in general.
