In Portland this afternoon strained their
ears to catch the boom of the first gun
of the national salute that announced
the arrival of the Presidential special
train at the Union Depot and when the
reverberating roar of heavy artillery
boat upon the air, set the panes of glasa
U rattling In the windows and the
crockery and brlo-a-brao to Jarring up
on tho ahelves, thla vast cosmopolitan
crowd had within ' Its multl-mlnd but
a single thought wss actuated by one
Impulse, and by on alone.
"Theodore Roosevelt! The President
of the United States, la here!" it cried.
Down in the Terminal Company's
railroad yards a group of blue-clud gun
ners were gathered about the breeches
of two brown, Steel tubes. Heavy
charges of powder had been rummcd in
place, primer were inserted and lan
yards were held taut An officer stood
on the top of a ear near by and from
thla sommandlng post peered out across
tho river eagerly watching the ap
proach to the steel bridge. It was his
duty to give notice of the coming of
the Chief executive.
Suddenly be turned and raised his
hand. The gunner at No. 1 piece
straightened up ' and Jerked his srm;
the lanyard tightened and gave way;
there waa a snap, a flash, a roar the
arrival of the President had been an
nounced to the waiting thousands.
And as gun after gun of the national
salute boomed out a pillar or. cloud
white smoke ascended to mark the spot
where Light Battery A. Oregon National
Guard, sent forth a hoarse-toned greet
lng to Ha supreme commander.
Xorria' Hand on the Throttle.,
On board the swtft-movlng Presiden
tial apecial there waa little to brand it
as a train of st4te. 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. .
In every home, in every Office and In
every business building or tne city,
men. women and children early In the
day began to give close attention to the
clock. A half holiday naa been ae
clared in Portland, end when the hour
of mid-day chimed, the populace, as one
man. laid ctside its work, us studies or
Its play, and began to array itself to
greet the highest omclal or the nation
to which it owed allegiance. 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".
