<DIV><FONT size=2>From 1908 to 1913 a king, Rex Oregonus, ruled over the festival. The identity of this king was kept secret, and he wore a huge beard to disguise himself until his identity was revealed at the festival’s annual ball. In 1914, a Rose Festival Queen, selected from among Portland’s socialites, was again chosen to rule. This practice continued until 1930. From 1924 to 1929, Rex Oregonus returned to rule along with the Queen of the mythical realm of Rosaria. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I was doing some research and came across the name of a city in Multnomah county that I have never heard of. The name is Rosaria. Does any one know where this city was located?</DIV>
