SP[ENDORS Of THE PORTO[A FESTIVAL
Three Big Parades Will Be
Spectacular Features Of the
Affair Electrical Display
and Decorations to Sur
pass All Former Attempts
In America :: :: :: :: s..

gilia Bogue, who has been chosen
queen Of the celebration, is one Of the
most beautiful women in America.
Instead Of the handful Of footsore
and starving troops which followed him
on the expedition on which he discov-
cred the bay Of San Francisco, Don
Gaspar de Portola will be escorted by
a full company Of royal dragons in
faultless uniforms, with shining he'll
NETS and breastplates and mounted on
glossy black chargers, and will lead an
army composed Of the soldiers and
sailors Of the world. This parade
through the streets will be most i'm
posing spectacle. The cavalry and in
fantry Of the regular army, the ma
tional guard and the uniformed drill
corps of the various organizations,
with the naval forces from the war
ships, will represent the United States,
while the bluejackets and marines from
the foreign vessels will show the fight
ing forces Of the nations around the
entire world.
The second parade will contain di-
visions representing the civic, indus
trial, state and international life. Cor.
geously decorated floats will be a fea-
ture Of this affair. The third Of the
parades will be at night and will con-
tain the Illuminated floats. There will
be many original designs and ideas.
Magnificent Examinations Planned.
At least 100000 will be spent to
decorate and illuminate San Francisco

during the week of the festival. The
festival committee will spend at least
100000 to decorate and illuminate the
streets. All Of the famous street dec
orations and illuminadons Of the past
for which San Francisco has been
notable are to be eclipsed. It is ex-
pected that the displays in magnitude
and magnifcence will surpass any
thing ever before attempted in the
United States. More than 100000 in
candescent electric lamps, with total
Of nearly 100000 candle power, will
be used in the illumination.
Courts Of honor, colonnades and big
displays hung high in the air will form
the principal features Of the decora-
lions and Examinations. They will ex-
tend over three miles of streets. Mar
ket street for more than one mile will
be spanned by loops Of electric lights
stretching from building to building
every twenty five feet.
Snow White Colonnade.
At the foot of Market street, in front
of the ferry building, will be erected
a colonnade of Spanish architecture,
consisting Of twenty columns, each
twenty-eight feet in height. The col
umns will be three and a half feet
square at the top. The cornices will
be decorated with egg and dart mold.
hgs. On each side Of the columns will
be placed the letter "P," made Of stuc.

Spanish flag will float between each
column, and on the pinnacles will be
placed four five-foot carnival flags and
a six foot flag Of the United States

Dor by California's First
Spanish Governor :: :: ::

scores of crashing bands and
the booming of the big guns of the

Don Gaspar de Portola, CALIFORNIA;
trst Spanish governor, who will be i'm
personated by Nicholas A. Covarrubias
during the week of the Portola fes-
t1val, Oct. 1923, at San Francisco, will
make triumphant entry with his
army into that city on Oct 10 and
formally inaugurate the great festival
that Is to celebrate the rehabilitation
of San Francisco and the return of
the doughty old warrior to its harbor
he discovered one hundred and forty
odd years ago.
The streets will be lined with count
less cheering thousands gathered from
every corner of the globe, come to see
with their own eyes the modern mir
acle of city Of marble and granite
that has been reared in three years out
of wilderness Of smoldering ruins.
During this week in mid October the
throngs of visitors will be the guests
of San Francisco at series Of fetes,
spectacles, athletic tournaments, balls
and pageants that will set record for
the world in the way Of entertainment.

ceptance as part Of the great army
which will march in military forma-
ton at the opening parade.
This opening parade will be strictly
military and will combine the features
of a historical pageant and a modern
rev1eW Of troops. The Portola dra-
:goons, that company Of uniformed yeo-
men which will be the personal escort
of Don Gaspar de Portola, will be one
of the most picturesque features Of the
affair. Recruited from the handsom-
est and sturdiest men in San Francis
co, they will be adorned with helmets
and cuirasses and will be mounted on
champing chargers.
The first parade will differ from the
historical pageant in that it will repre-
sent the reception Of the discoverer Of
the bay in 1853 by the people of the
city which has been built on its shores
and by the state and the nation. Por-
tOla himself and his dragons, with the
Indians and other followers, will be in
the costume Of their own period, and
the entrance to the city will be in the
manner Of the historical pageant.
To Be Welcomed as Leader.
His arrival will be greeted by the
salutes of the guns Of the great pow
ers out in the warships on the bay.
He will be received by the troops Of
the state and Of the nation as leader
and, with his dragons, will take his
place at the head Of the great parade
after having been welcomed by the
mayor and city and state officials and
the diplomatic representatives Of the
world powers.
The ranks of the soldiery will divide,

D. A. r. to Mark Santa Fe Trail.

The Daughters Of the American Rev
olution have taken steps to mark the
old Santa Fee trail with a permanent
memorial. Miss Elizabeth Gentry Of
Kansas City has the work in hand, and
the present plan is to put up mile
stones along the trail through several
western states. Just now Miss Gentry
is preparing a petition to the Kansas
legislature to appropriate money to put
up milestones through that state. Club
women are assisting her in gathering
names, and many members Of the leg
islature have expressed themselves in
favor Of the plan.

Device to See by Telephone.

Alberto Sanchez, Mexican electrical
engineer, who is an inmate Of Belem
prison, declares he has invented an
apparatus whereby vision as well as
the voice may be transmitted over an
ordinary telephone wire. He calls his
invention teleradiopticon, and the
prison officials say that successful
tests have been made with models.
The contrivance is said to resemble a
pair Of short opera glasses attached to

her, declaring that she meant to pun
ish her for her naughtiness.
me cook, oYerhearlng the threats Of
Little May, came to Kitty Puss' res
cue, inQuiring: wy, what's all the
racket about Miss May? Has the kit
ten been in the cream jar?"
No; if it had only been the cream jar
l wouldn't have minded, for the cream
jar can't feel" said Little May, step
ping up into the kitchen. But she
had dear little mouse and she was
torturing it, and she's a naughty cat,
and mean to break her of that cruel
habit
The jolly fat cook laughed and
laughed, and then said: why, child,
it's human nature for a cat to ketch a
mouse. If your cat is good for any
ing she'll rid the cellar of them
pesky mice. You should enjoy having
her do her duty
'Duty!" And Little May looked with
scorn at the big cooks merry red face.
Then she continued: "I guess you'd
not think it a cats duty to rid the
cellar of mice-if you were a mouse
and merely coming out of your dark
little house to find a bite to eat Bah!
You are as cruel as Kitty Puss." And
Little May tossed her curls and
stamped her feet.
Then we must let the nasty mice
overrun our cellar just because they
are hungry and because it's cruel for
the cat to catch them?" cook asked,
seriously.
81 don't mind your catching the mice
with traps that kill them instantly"
declared Little May. "They are not
frightened nor tortured that way But
a cat-oh, cat is so cruel! And I'll
punish naughty Kitty Puss for her
cruelty, so l WILL She shan't have
game of ball this day, and never again
shall she be alloWSd in the cellar. That
is my order, Sally, and please remem-
Der it, And pretty, good-hearted Lit
tie May walked high-headed out of the
kitchen. THAT old Sally is as hard
hearted as a savage she said to her
self. II only wish she were mouse
for just one minute and that cat
would get her cornered and. give her
a good scare-and maybe a bit of
bite, too. After that I guess she'd have
some sympathy for the poor little mice
that are so helpless"
Then Little May went to tell her
mamma about the naughtiness of
Kitty Puss and to ask for advice in
her management of her future, and
how to break her of her desire to be
cruel to the poor little mice that never
did her a bit of harm.

The morn,hq C1}(

room, Kitty Puss running after it in
the gayest mood possible. OF course,
Little May had a string-a bit of Irvine
tied about the ball so that she could
pull it back to her as soon as Kitty
Puss was about to grasp it in her little
furry paws. But sometimes Kitty Puss
was too quick for Little May, and
would get the ball in her paws, hold
ing it and rolling over and over in great
excitement. And then it was that the
game was full of fun for both players,
Kitty Puss trying to hold on to the
ball and Little May determined to get
it away from her.
Thus had Little May and Kitty Puss
played bail every evening for many,
many weeks. And as both had grown
so fond of the game they looked for
ward to it each day with happy antici-
patton.
But there came a day of disappoint-
ment to Little May. On returning home
in the afternoon after school she did
not find her little four-footed chum
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-31

TITLE MAY and Kitty Puss were
the best Of friends. Little May was
years old and Kitty Puss was 6
months old. But they were chums, re-
gardless of the difference in age. But,
of course. looking at their respective
ages in the true sense there was not
any difference, for a cat is as old at
6 months as a human being is at
years Of age. Therefore, one might say
Little May and Kitty Puss were of an
age.
Little May had found Kitty Puss i'll
the street one day three months before
this story opens, and had taken her up
and carried her home, feeding her some
warm milk and a bit of scraped meat.
And from that day to the present one
the little stray kitten and the dear
good-hearted little girl had been on the
best of terms. When Little May would
run home from school in the afternoon
Kitty Puss was sure to greet her as
soon as she opened the hall door, and
would look up into her little .chum's
face as if to say: Dear Little May,
1 have been so lonely without you.
Come, let's have a romp." And Little
May, understanding Kitty Puss desire,
would stroke her pretty gray fur coat
and &C with her into the big dining
room, where they would have a game
of ball.
Now, did you ever hear of a kitten
playing ball with any person? Well,
Kitty Puss would play ball with Little
May. But it was not the toss-and-
catch sort of ball game. Their method
of play was this: Little May would get
the ball-a tiny ruber one-and would
sit on the floor and roll it about the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-31

waiting for her in the hall. She looked
about for her in vain. Then, going to-
ward the dining room, where they al
ways had their game of ball, the room
being so big and without too much fur
niture, she called: kitty Puss! Kitty
Puss! Kitty Puss! Where are you
Come, here 1 am-your chum, May.
Come, let's have our game of ball.
Kitty Puss! Kitty Puss! Kitty Puss!''
But no Kitty Puss responded to Lit
tie Mays call, and the little girl ran
from room to room, calling to her play
mate. But no Kitty Puss was to be
found. At last Little May went to the
kitchen, asking cook if s, had seen
her kitten.
"Ah, yes, saw the little beast run
ming down the cellar steps awhile ago.
Likely she's down there looking for a
mouse. 1 called to her to come out,
but she didn't mind me, so 1 shut the
door and left her down there"
"Ah, Sally, how could you have shut
the poor dear in the cellar?" exclaimed
Little May. And she ran to the cellar
door and opened it, calling gently:
''Come, Kitty Puss. Here l am, ready
and waiting to have oQr game of ball.
Come, Kitty Puss."
But no Kitty Puss appeared. Little
May, fearing something had happened
to her pet, ran down the cellar steps
as fast as she could and began hunt
ing about among boxes and barrels and
baskets for her. Pretty soon she espied
a dark little object run across the Gel
lar floor at her very feet, and in close
pursuit ran Kitty Puss. "Ah, and so
you are after a mouse, are you?" cried
Little May, trying to come between the
small beast of prey and her tiny VIC
tim. "Ah, how naughty you are, Kitty
Puss, to be trying to kill that poor,
helpless mouse!"
But the mouse had run behind some
boxes that stood only a few inches
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-31

from the wall, and Kitty Puss had
squeezed her own little ,ody into the
narrow space, catching the mouse be-
tween her sharp teeth. A woeful little
squeak made Little May know that the
victim was caught and that it was also
being tortured. xiii that. poor little
thing this instant, you naughty,
naughty cat!" cried Little May, trying
to get hold of Kitty Puss' back, but
failing in the attempt. 81 say kill that
poor little mouse this instant, and put
it out of its suffering" repeated Little
May, shaking her fist at Kitty Puss.
But Kitty puss paid no attention o
her little mistress command. Indeed,
this was Kitty Puss' first mouse, and
she meant TO make the most of her
victorious catch. So she crept into IL
larger space beneath a table, which
was so closely surrounded by boxes and
barrels that it was almost impossible
for Little May to reach her. And there
she toyed with and tortured her poor
suffering little victim till at last Little
May reached her with the end of an
old mop stick which she had found in
a corner and which she quickly pressed
into use as weapon. Thump, thump,
thump! went the big stick on Kitty
Puss' back, and you had better believe
she hurried to make short work of her
prey, for she didn't like being thumped
by such a hard stick in the hand of so
angry little mistress.
After killing the mouse outright.
Kitty Puss sat down to devour it. But
Little May would not permit this, and,
poking Kitty Puss with a big stick.
she forced her to leave the body of her
victim and to rush out Of her corner.
Then up the cellar stairs she chased

It was noised about at Etah that prepa-
rations were in progress to try for the
pole most of the men on board the
yacht volunteered to serve.
Captain Bartlett, skipper Of the John
R. Bradley, said that he also would
like to stay; but, if compelled to re-
turn, he required at least a cook and
an engineer to take the yacht back to
Newfoundland.
The situation was eased when the
captain was told that but n man was
wanted. No group of white men could
possibly match the Eskimo in his own
element. The willing hands Of a tribe
Of 25O people were at my disposal.
More help was not requirea.

brought on deck while the vessel was
still at anchor In Etah, and below all
was prepared for the expected storms
Of the return voyage.
Starting For Annootok.
Late in the evening of Sept. / the
entire village Of Etah was taken
aboard, the anchor was tripped, and
soon the Bradley's bow put out on the
waters of Smith sound for Annootok
The night was cold and clear, bright
ened by the charm of color. The sui
had just begun to dip under the north
ern horizon, which marks the end OF
the summer double days Of splendo'
and begins the period Of storms lead
ing into the long night. Early in the
morning we were off Annootok.
The weather vas now changed. A
strong wind came from the sea. Will
shallow water, unknown rocks and
much ice drifting about no comfortable
berth could be found for the yacht. II
the overloaded decks were to be clear
ed at all it must be done quickly.
The launch and all the dories were
lowered and filled. Eskimo boats were
pressed into service and loaded. The
boats were lowed ashore. Only a few
reached Annootok itself, for the vino
increased and a troublesome sea made
haste q matter Of great Importance
Things were pitched ashore anywhere
on the rocks where a landing could be
found for the boats.
The splendid efficiency of the launch
proved equal to the emergency, and II
the course Of about three hours all was
safely put On shore in spite OF threat
ening winds and %forbidding seas.
