DECKED IN HER BEST. | _ All Portland was decked in her best, ‘\)uslnesn was suspended and the holi- | day spirit was everywhere in evidence. 'ne States of Oregon, Washington and Idako, in which June 1 had been de- | vlared a holiday in bhonor of the centen- | nial, sent thousands of visitors. The {traine of yesterday brought the van- guaic of the excursionists and to-day the 1ailroads and boat lines entering Portland have been taxed to their ut- | most. Never in her history has Port. lend beer <alled upon to care for so many people. The prelude to the actual opening | ceremonies at the exposition consisted of the parade, a grand pageant of mill- tarism, led by Vice President Fair- banks, the Congressional party, visit- ing Governors and other dignitaries and the exposition officials. With martial music censtantly playing this imme- din.e forerunner of the actuality was greeled with continual cheering along the ¢nfire line of march, from the new postoffice and through the business and residential sections of Portland to the fai: grounds. As the tropps passed the mass of sightseers flanking the cdlumn feld in behind, and when the exposition girounds were reached there was a |'stream of humanity miles in length following in-their wake Thousands;in thé meantime anticipating the dyward | rush had packed them¥elves around the gpeakery . stand and occupled every point of vantage and late comers had to be content with being within seeing | distance. As the, parade swung :into | the grounds the Wice Presidential, Con- | gressional and fair official parties were; | detached from the column and were es- corted by the cavalry between long lines of cheering thousands to the New York State bullding. Almost simul- taneously bodies of troops took their position on the esplanade extending from the rear of the speakers’ stand down to the lake front. urand Mar- hal of the Day Colonel E. Z.

AIR OF EXPECTANCY. ¥romptly at 12 o'clock noon President H."W. Goode of the exposition arose and, gavel in hand, announced the beginning of | the ceremonits which meant the realiza- | tion of Portland’s dream. The announce- mefit was received with tremendous cheering, which echoed back and forth through the multitude for several min- | utes. As the echo died away the Right Rey. David H.

This exposition has risen as an expression of the gratitude of the people’ for what brave men Wrought for bumanity and civilization in the lang ago.

M. a roughly dressed young man with a slouch hat well down over his face » brushed against Warford and them ex~ cused himself. Warford cast one look at the man and turned away. The stranger laid his hand upon the Treasurer's shoulder and asked the fime of day, and at the same time edging nearer. Without waiting for fur- ther developments Warford drew 3 big navy revolver from his pocket and com- manded the stranger to “get next.” The stranger did not protest or try to explain, but dashed down the street and has.not been seen since.

PRESIDENTIAL SALUTE. The Presidential salute of twenty-one guns was the signal to the now impa- tient throng that the actual moment for the opening of the) exposition was at hand. Upon a telegraph operator seated at an instrument on the speakers’ stand the eves of the multitude: were riveted, and while the guns were stlll booming the movement of his hand at the kéy was a | sufficient indication to the watchers that President Roosevelt was being . advised | that all was in readiness to recelve the | signal: from the White House which would formally open the exposition. Almost simultaneously with the clicking | of the telegraph instrument President Goode's gavel fell and he proclaimed the exposition open. The throng seemed hardly to realize it, .but as hundreds, of flags broke, to the breeze and cannon roared their thunderous accompaniment to ““The Star-Spangled Banner,” played by the massed bands, pandemonium logsed itself. One wild, exultant shout, and then cheer after cheer resounded through' the grounde, hats were thrown into the air and the noise was swelled by a thousand horns and the shrieking of whistles. Ali portions of -the exposition. grounds recetved their quota of visitors, and the various Staté buildings and exhibit pal- aces were thronged with people. The peninsuia, on which is situated the Gov- ernment buildings and exhibits, attracted large crowds of -sightseers.
