Today Portland ls-1n the midst of her
celebration. Long before the midnight
hour had ushered in the day of Inde
pendence the wakeful patriots with their
noise of fireworks told the sleepers that
the time of rejoicing had come.
With the morning gun the noise spread
like artillery fire throughout the city
and all during the day it has continued
one long salute of commemoration. -AH
Classes Celebrate the Bay.
Neither type nor class wealth nor sta
tion has been recognised today. From
the small and staggering shack Of the
fioor where one email flag pointed the
ndex of national love to the mansion
of the captain of wealth the same spirit
has come.
On every hand, In the residence dis
trict, down town where the- wheels of
business have been stilled for time in
honor of the day, on the streets where
tens of 'thousands of merrymakers
joated in good-natured rivalry for
joints of vantage, in every place and
every manner has Portland shown that
the people here still hold the birth of
their countryland in grateful memory.
Officially the three-day long celebra
tion was begun this morning when the
two miles of parade wound through the
heart of the city. Long before the
echeduled hour of 10 the ' curbs were
thronged with a crowd that taxed the
efforts of the police to keep In line. As
the parade-nnrched out Its course this
crowd shifted, and followed the head of
the procession eager to have a second
and even a third view of. the pageant
. From the time the start was made at
10:30 untll'tho last carriage had passed
the reviewing stand at Sixth and Tarn-
niu streets nearly two hours nan
elapsed, but n spite of the long and
weary march the. old veterans who fol
lowed the flag In the days of '61 fin
ished as stronej and fresh as the
younger men who fought In the Philip
pines. ' '
rand Ml of restores.
It has been a long time since Port-
iano people nave oeen accorded an oo-
portunity to witness so large or so well
featured a parade of celebration as was
given today. The Heppner flood and
the San Francisco disaster took the
funds of two former celebrations while
the people of the city kept silent In
neighborly sorrow. But this year the
lapse was more than averaged up by
the grandeur of the celebration.
Zhe parade was too long in extent and
too abounding In features to permit of
mention that should be made. The
naval columns, headed by the gold
braided officers in the lead, the regulars

One result of this agreement will be
