In touching upon the reasons why the whole country should be attracted to the Rose Festival, aside from the granting of low excursion rates from the East, the booklet gives the follow ing concise statement from the pen of James N. Stewart, the advertising man ager of the Northern Pacific system, who made the trip to Portland from St. Paul to "write up" the Kestival some months ago: Mile of Roses AV1I1 Be Used. "Portland has become so Identified In the public mind with this magnificent annual floral display that It Is now commonly known as the 'Rose City,' and a most appropriate designation It is. For the Festival of 1910, five mill ion blooms will be used, enough to form a solid hedge reaching from Portland to Los Angeles 1000 miles of fragrant roses. "The month of June in the North Coast region is, perhaps, the most de lightful one of the year, diffusing, as it does, the fresh, primal, warming breaths of Summer, when vegetation unfolds and the hearts of mankind and Nature both expand. This is the time of roses roses of every hue. every size, every kind. Then the good people of Portland see roses, talk roses, pick roses, inhale roses, give away roses, twine roses Into all imaginable sorts of floral wreaths and designs, and in a word, live in the atmosphere of roses, particularly during Festival week." President Elliott Coming in issuing this brochure. President Howard Elliott took a personal interest from the fact that he has seen two former Festivals, and he has Instructed the passenger department of the en tire system to give the Portland cele bration the widest publicity possible. A. I. Charlton, assistant passenger agent, who has Just returned from a confer ence with President Elliott, states that Mr. Elliott intends to be a guest here at the next Festival and that he will bring a large delegation of Northern Pacific officials! with him Just to show what a magnificent thing the Portland Rose Festival is.

Madison Bridge Completed in Four Months Forecast. DELAY DISPLEASES MAYOR Contractor Offers In Palliation That High Water In Willamette During Winter Causes Delay Consult ing Engineers Confer. A completed bridge at Madison street within four months is promised by E. E. Howard, resident engineer for Waddell & Harrington, who returned to the city yesterday morning and called upon Mayor Simon to discuss the project. The Mayor made it clear that he is not at all pleased with the progress of the work. The Mayor told Mr. Howard, who is acting as consulting engineer for the city on the Madison-street bridge, that ho will favor the cancellation of the con tract of Robert Wakefield and the com pletion of the work by the city unless Mr. Wakefield "gets busy" at once. Mr. Wakefield has the contract for the sub structure, and his contract time was up February 26. Mr. Howard says Mr; Wakefield can finish the substructure in two months, and he further told the Mayor the super structure can be completed in two months, which will make It possible to deliver the completed span in four months from this date. J. Lyle Harrington, Junior member of the firm of Waddell & Harrington, con sulting engineers, will reach Portland this morning and will hold a conference with Mayor Simon soon. The Mayor in tends to make absolute demands that the Madison-street bridge be rushed to com pletion. Mr. Wakefield contends In explaining his failure to complete his contract on time that the water in the Willamette River has been unusually high this Win ter, delaying the work of building the piers. Mr. Howard and City Engineer Morris both agree with this, at least to a considerable extent. However, the Mayor declares that he will not tolerate any further delays, and that the work must be rushed. Talbot to Head Gas Compajly. Guy W.
