Horsa is king: In this afternoon's pa
rade.
Under brightening skies, the decorat
ed horse and vehicle parade of the Rose
.Festival Is making triumphal way over
the strnets of Portland.
The promise of a great parade Is be
tng kept in a greater realization. The
partioipatlon of the navy and army, rep
resented by companies from the Mary
I land under command of Lieutenant Cal
houn, and Battery A, of the Oregon Na
tional Guard, give the parade national
significance.
The platoons from Seattle. Tacoma
and Spokane added to he Portland fea
tures, make it an all northwest event.
The finest horses of the Paclflo
coast, the most elegant equipages, the
most elaborate of floral decorations,
make the brilliant pageant a dream of
beaJty come true.
It is. a parade of powerful appeal to
lovers of fine horses. The grace of
the best bred carriage horses Is supple
mented by the weight and power of the
great draft' animals entered in the work
horse section. - The varus of the horses
and equipment is placed at between $3,
000,000 and 15,000,000 and other Pacific
cjoast cities are challenged to excel If
tfhey can. '..' "t ! ;

District Ez&iblt.
The first prise for a district exhibit
was -awarded to, Irvlngton, Mrs. Jesse
Stearns, director. The award was made
not alone on the quality of the blossoms
shown, but also on the taste of decora
tion and arrangement of the display.
The harmonious - blending , of colors, in
the blossom, arrangement attracted the
special attention of the . judges and
counted several points In Irvington'a
favor and against other districts entered.
Mrs. C- K. Panton is tha winner of
12 first prises and eight second prises
at this year's show,' and in number of
trophies won la the foremost exhibitor
at the show. ' Mrs. R. B. Lamson, who
won tha grand prize. Is a close contender
for first honors.
"One of the satisfying 'and encouraging-
features of this year's show,", said

(Special to The Journal.
Eugene, Or., June 13. "It may be a
coincidence,' but the corner of San Quen
tln i prison In which the outbreak oc
curred that stirred Warden John " E.
Hoyle to make his criticisms, of Gov
ernor West's policy. Is the dirtiest hole
In which I have ever been in all my
experience with prisons," declared Rev.
Philip Bauer, chaplain of the Oregon
state penitentiary, while in Eugene yes
terday afternoon. Chaplain Bauer said
the charge made by Hoyle Is too ab-
surj for serious consideration. How
ever, if it had stirred prisoners In such
a dirty hole as that department of Ban
Quentln to protest, it indicates that the
reform movement . of the governor is
having its effect outside of Oregon and
in the place where reform Is most
needed, he asserted.
Chaplain ttaues said he had visited
10 prisons In different states last fall.
and found different conditions prevaiT-
ng, but that in none was there-any
thing to be compared with San Quenttn.
The stench of the quarter where the
trouoie tooK piace ana me ruth were
such that nothing could induce, me to
eat anything there," said tha chaplain.
A number of newspaper men and
prominent citizens of California visited
the Oregon prison a short time sgo, and
looked over conditions. As a result they
rwere converted to the Oregon system.
and have been advocating its adoption
in California ever since. This may have
stirred the friends of-the old ' methods
to make criticism of Governor West's
prison policy." '
