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

beamed out again till even the ivy. vines

i. 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

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.

Issue as a personal matter, between the

ought never expect to live in the community-afterward.
If a legislator can
not carry -out a promise he has made
and It does, not make any difference
whether It Is in business or in politics
he should not be allowed to enter poll

on this important question whatever
