'I '.'J This morning's really was the best parade of - the f estlval. ; Everything so far this week has been ' the best and, the most beautiful.' - But the horse - and - carriage- parade- - this morning ,was still better, fits roses were bigger and there were more of them. There were- more decorated carriages and more pretty girls, and -well,- more fun generally. ' In the first place the suit who hasn't looked, kindly " upon the week's gsieties cams out and took a look' and liking the appearance of things In general decided to stay. Hs whisked back behind pro tecting cloud, mow and then,- just long enough to keep people rom getting .too hot-J-them as it began to grow chilly he beamed out again till even the ivy. vines on the carriages, began to droop.

The wholesale houses and many of the banks and office closed at 30 o'clock too and everybody had a chance to see the pa rade and stand out in ' the-street and throw - roses and catch 1 them as they were returned from the passing floats and carriages. . 1 r ..On the reviewing stand at 'Morrison and ' Park streets there wasn't a seat (Continued on Page Six.) - ii- i" J , ' 4- the Pastof flee Building.; ; Voluriteers From War Vessels Will Appear in East Side .

East .'side enterprise has again scored a' point and. dwellers on the other side of the Willamette are ' congratulating themselves on the energy and original ity,' 'displayed by? the leading members of nhe . East Side Business Men's club. The reason of all this is the fact that through . the forethought of ;the club the sailors ef the cruiser squadron now la the harbor have been Invited to take the place of honor tonight in the great carnival parade'" of school children and a ddsen other organisations. ' As a re sult a notice was posted up on the flag ship Charleston by Captain Beatty this morning calling attention to the Invi tation of the eaat side and it Is probable-that 00 bluejackets will respond by marching at the head of the proces sion this svening. . " This U a particularly noteworthy coup for the east side as It will be toe first time In the history of theBose Carnival that Uncle Sam's men have of f icially participated in an event of this kind and It will be the first time that many thousands of people have had a chance to see the bluejackets of the navy in marching array. v " The announcement of this eleventh hour feature of the parade will ; easily make the pageant tonight ; the; best at. tended one of the festival. More than 100,000 visitors are expected to line the handsomely paved streets across - the river when the procession1 starts at 7:30 sharp. ' ' , ' ' - ' To show their appreciation of the presence 'of so many of the blue-clad upholders of America's ocean prestige, everybody on the other side of the river Is preparing to give the sailors a royal welcome, and the Business Men's club assures them of - the best time they have- enjoyed since -they- have seen the Pacific. Hundreds of pretty girls will be waiting for the moment when Grand avenue' will be lighted up from' one end to the otherfwith' electric ' lights and red-fire signals flashed at the. stroke of nine. . . ... . Promptly at the signal a balf doseh bands will strike up, and amid the soft flare of a myriad of Japanese lanterns and beautiful electrical lamps suspend ed - from wires across the street the masquerade street - dance will begin. This will be, attended by everybody worth knowing on- the east side, and Jack Tar will be the guest of honor. Society will b fully represented, as scores of parses have been arranged t rVi, MM " 3 -t by the different social organizations on the right bank of the Willamette, and the proverbial marriage' bell will be a doleful thing compared to the mirth which will dominate the merry dance. All day today the residents have been bringing baskets, boxes and even bar rets aoaaea with the most peauurui roses in the world, for distribution among the throngs who will participate in the gay rout. Four distributing stations-have been established alons: Grand avenue and -by' nightfall they will be filled to overflowing with oanks-' of brilliantly hued blossoms. In all, shades of oolor. Entries for the dog and - pony , cart contingent of the parade, will be re ceived up to the last moment at the starting point. This Is- one' of the novel features of the pageant and will prove a most interesting sight to spec tators. ' - The beautiful May-pole spectacle with 60 girls from the public schools costumed in pretty fiesta dresses and dancing around the moving float is so other unique feature. Besides these there are a half hundred other features with which the management Is going to surprise the visitors. President Blge low of -the East Side Business - Men's club promises visitors to Portland the event of the Rose Festival tonight and wants no one to miss the spectacle.
