Mult nomah county alone will have spent $1,600,000, approximately, on it, and It Is to extend through Clatsop, Col umbia, Multnomah and Hood River counties from the Pacific ocean to The Dalles, and. sometime, to Pendleton. But the cost of the highway i con sidered little in comparison with the treasure house of scenery revealed by It. Fearing congestion 1n spite of the excellent traffic arrangements, many people went out on the highway this morning and secured choice of park ing places In the natural ampitheatre fronting Multnomah falls. Room for people and machines was more than doubled by the fills made under the direction of Roadmaster Yeon. The dedicatory platform was erected at a point near the road where as many as possible might see and hear. Quaes on Special Train.

Little girls brought the crown tfO the king of the festival. He was about to take It and place it' upon the head of the queen when a war whoop from near the fallp was heard. Chief Multnomah, an spirit of tha falls, came dashing down the trail protestlnng this Invasion of the domain of his people. He disregarded Queen Muriel's hand Outstretched compassionately, but when ha suddenly looked upon the great throng of happy people, he gave up his pretest and sadly walked hack up the trail. Miss Columbia Arrives. Then came Miss Columbia, attended by 12 little girls, and preceded by two Children bearing a winged wheel im personating progress.

W'hen Queen Muriel ascended the throne last night, the tenth annual Portland Rose Festival came into being:. With al! pomp and ceremony, this little Pendleton miss, who in private life is Muriel Saling of the Round-Up city, was crowned queen on a throne raised on a dais in the park block op posite the Ladd school. And she wears npr crown wltu the grace of a typical American girl. With greenery swaying overhead and hundreds of softened lights casting their gentle radiance, with the Scent of rose petals filling the air, the scene was perfect. Thousands upon thousands crowded the park blocks and the streets to wit ness the ceremony, forming & hollow square around the throne. All Portland Bows Xnaa. It seemed as If everyone In Portland was there. Bo many were there, in fact, that the royal party, coming from the city hall, had a difficult time in approaching the throne. The queen-elect had been serenaded at the Hotel Portland, she had met the mayor, she had turned the switch that made Broadway bright as day, and here she was come to be made queen. An escort of naval militiamen, under command of Ensign C. J. Dyer, and the Royal Rosarlans. acted as the official convoy, with police and manager's cars leading the way. The Kosarian band took up a posi tion abreast the throne The jackles formed a line facing the royal cars. The Woodburn Iadies' octet, the court musicians, slowly marched toward the dais strumming their ukuleles and ainping a gentle melody. t rom out of the crowd burst forth a. oevy or dancingogirls in filmy dresses. They bowed and saluted the queen. And then came another group of girls, leaders from the several schools of the city, who strewed rose petals In the path of the advancing queen. Dowager Leads Maids. The maids came first, led by the dowager queen, Mrs. Maud C. Oilman. Then came the festival directors, and then Queen Muriel and King Joy, who is none other than Sheriff "Till" Tay lor of Umatilla county. How the people did oheer! Mayor Albee, bearing the key to the city, some three feet in length, brought up the rear with President Dundore. The maids seated themselves on the dais. Muriel advanced to the throne. A trumpet sounded. Two little padres placed a cushion, and President Dun dore placed the crown on Muriel's head. Again the trumpet sounded. Mayor Alhee presented the new-crowned queen with the key to the city. The band burst forth in trumphant song, and then the fairies from the Fernwood sohool and the gar'.ind-bearers and rose-petal girls danced in turn in honor of the sovereign. Manager McDowell unrolled the royal carpet, and the king and queen and royal party passed down the festival cented to the cheers of the multitude and the soft strumming of the ukuleles The festival was on.
