GREAT PAGEANT THRU NEW

BY FLOAT AND COSTUME
Promoters Of Celebration Expend Largo
Sums and Much Energy on Feature
Thousands Of Men, Women and
Children Participate - Historical
Scenes Depicted.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The center Of
the Hudson Fulton festivities today
was the route chosen for the historical
pageant of commemorative floats.
These illustrated periods Of American
history made famous by the achieve-
ments Of Hudson and Fulton
Today's pageant represented the su-
preme effort of the commission. For
several months 800 artists, carpenters
and papiermache manipulators have
been at work preparing the wood and
plaster figures which today decorated
fifty-four floats in the procession.
Nearly 10000 men, women and chill
dren, most of them in costume, repre-
senting every national and patriotic
society in the city, posed as historic
personages on these floats or marched
between. and beside them. The cost of
the spectacle was 100000. The story
ufolded by floats and their costumed
characters dealt with the history OF
New York and the country immedi-
ately surrounding, in four periods: In
dian, Dutch, colonial and modern. The
last named, however, carried the tale
no further than the first Erie canal
boat and the Introduction Of water
from the Croton reservoir.

Tree Seeds on Water Shed.
Portland, Ore, Sept. 2s.-Reforesta-
ton to increase city's water supply is
being tried here Within the next two
weeks one ton of Douglas fir seeds, ca
pable Of growing 100000 big fir trees.
will be planted by the national forest
service. One third of this seed will be
sown in the forest reserve thru which
flows the Bull Run river, the source of
Portland's water supply, which starts
in the glaciers Of Mount Hood.
( This will be undertaken to see if the
water supply Of the city can be in
creased by covering bare slopes with
woods. 1t is expected that when the
fir trees have attained a fair growth
the flow of the stream during the dry
season will be doubled.
The remainder of the seed will be
planted in other portions of the forest
reserves in the state. While the work
is largely of an experimental nature, 1t
is believed much good will result from
it. Strange to say, the work of the
forest service is handicapped because
of diffuculty in securing the necessary
seed. There are but two people in the
west who are gathering Douglas fir
seed for sale. The total crop collected
by these two men is bought by the for
est service at from $1.50 to $3.50 per
pound, but the amount is Inadequate.

HISTORY IN VISIBLE FORM.
Four Periods Of Development Repre-
sented in Great Pageant.

Four Periods of Development Repre-
sented in Great Pageant.
New York, Sept. 2S.-American his
tory in visible forms passed in review
today before the eyes of more than a
million spectators that lined the route
of the first Hudson Fulton land pa
geant from the upper end of Central
park to Washington square. Thous-
ands of dollars. and months of effort
were spent to make this parade of
fifty-four floats an accurate reproduc-
ton of the life in New York state from
! legendary Indian times that preceded
the first settlement. to the first voyage
of the Clermont in 1907.
The line of parade had to be selected
with great care because of the great
size of the floats, which are said to be
the largest and most elaborate ever ex-
hibited. They vary in dimensions from
twenty to forty feet high, thirty two
feet long and fourteen feet wide. They
could not pass under the elevated rail-
road and even the electric decora-
tions of the court of honor and re-
viewing stands on Fifth avenue. oppo-
site the new public library, had to be
changed at the last moment to accom-
odate them.
The four main divisions summarized
the history Of the country. First came
the Indian period, with floats depicting
the Five Nations with their totems, the
legend of Hiawatha, the first Sachem
of the Iroquois, clothed in kissing
snakes, and then a succession of allie
gories.
The Dutch period followed with
floats representing the discovery of the
Hudson river; the fate of Henry Hud-
son. who was set adrift hy his mutt
nous crew in Hudson's Bay in 1911, and
never recovered; the reception to Peter
Stuyvesant most famous Of the Dutch
governors general; the first ship built
on Manhattan Island, and other mat
ters of like TYPICAL Significance. All
impersonations in this division are by
the United Holland Societies.
The third division, colonial, was
treated with greater amplitude than
any of the others. Twenty-one floats,
depicted as many scenes and legends,
from the reception Of Schuyler's In
dians to the pursuit of Ichabod Crane
by the headless horseman Of Sleepy
Hollow. Impersonations and escorts
were by the English societies. repre-
senting British rule, at the front; the
Society of Colonial Wars; the Junior
Order of American Mechanics; the
Patriotic Order Of Sons Of America;
the United Irish Societies; the Sons Of
the Revolution; the American Conti-
nentals; lineal descendants of Paulding
and VanWart. the captors of Andre;
the Order Of the Cincinnati, and host
Of lesser organizations.
Last came the modern period, led
by the title car UNITED States;" but
even here the general tone was retro
spective. A float representing the first
Erie canal 5oat, reproduction &c 6
hand engine in use before the intro
duction of croton water, and another
of an old Broadway sleight, before the
days of subways, trolleys, elevated. or
even horse cars were typical.
The historical parade will be repeat-
| ed in BROOKLYN on Friday. Oct:
