Had the Rose Festival Association had power to bring forth the choicest, rarest and most beautiful of the sea son' flowers for this week of gaiety. It could not have Improved upon nature's own profus display that th typical Oregon sunshin of the Last few dsys has made manifest everywhere In tbe city. Visitors are urged not to lowv Portland without seeing th roses blooming la tte residence dtetrlcts. With an unusually backward season officials of th association feared, a taenia b u urply of rose for festival week would be lacking In quality, and they discussed the proba bility of Importing flowers from south ern points to make the florsl display for the week complete. Even as late a two weeks ago they considered the advisability of sending south for flow, era. The situation began to brighten last week, but tha visible and pros pective supply of desirable roses was Insufficient for the needs of the week. As late as Sunday Portland people wer bemoaning the absenc of th usual elaborate and daazllng crop of official flower. Buds Burnt Into Bloom. But with th dawn of tha Initial day of th foatlval cam a clear. Oregon ky and a consequent distribution of sunshine tbat brought all th tardy buds Into blossoms and mad tbe entire city a veritable bower of beautiful, fragrant rosea. Not only Is the annual rose show at the Armory able to offer a better and more complete assortment of "the flowsr that made Portland famous." but th residence streets ax made re splendent with beauty and attractive to the visitors. Members of th Rosa Festival Asso ciation toured th city In automobiles yesterday morning to view the roses olooming In the lawns, parks and gar dens. While the number of flowers actually In bloom is not so great aa at the same period of the festival of previ ous years, th buds are sufficiently ad vanced to assure an actual city of en chantment by the end of the week. With the constant car and attention that the people of Portland devote to tbelr favorite flower, they have culti vated the rose to a state bordering; on perfection. Nowhere, excepting In Portland, can such a- display be seen. While .nature ha made the rose one of the most beautiful aa well aa one of the most fragrant of flowers, residents of Oregon have Improved upon nature by developing It In else, quality and th delicacy of Its shading. Outdoor Display Is Feature. This display of flowers throughout the city Is one of tbe prime features of festival week. To the nature lover and to the per son of delicate tastes, the festivities, the parade and tha celebration are mere Incidents of Festival week. To them the bright, blooming flowers are an allurement and attraction that ap peals more strongly than the carnival excitement. Many Eastern people have spent all their time since arriving In touring the city, either In streetcars or in auto mobiles, for the mere purpose of seeing the roses In bloom. Some of them have started the practice of riding out into a tvpical residence district and then walking along the most attractive streets merely to feast their eyes upon the glorious sights. They do not seem to tlr of the continuous parade of red, pink, white. yelJow and tinted roaea.

We in the East make a pretense of raising flowers, but In no way can we compare our results with those that the people of Portland have obtained in their cultivation of roses. ' Roses Worth More Than All. "It Is worth a whole lot to see the Festival.' hut to see the roses them selves la worth more- . I wouldn't miss It for anything." , The Festival managers urge stran- gers In the city to go out Into the resi dence districts to see the roses. They have arranged the programme so that time can be spared for these trips with out missing any of the parades or athletic events. ' Portland people are urged to encour age visitors to take trips through the districts where the prettiest roses are blooming. Every residence etreet has Its own profusion of flowers. Any streetcar leaving- the business district will con vey tho visitor into a section In which an optical feast will be provided. Out-f-town people will miss half the value of their visit if they fail to go where the fair roses bloom. EUGENE AUTOISTS!

See the Most Beautiful " Spot in Portland l-eWaiajanfjkUl ?y-H-:f'.'JLUl'y':"' W ' HEN closed the sale of HORNINGSIDE a few -weeks ago we did not imagine that we would be fortunate enough to secure any more of this high-class view property. Some changes and conditions at this tract have enaBled us to secure a few more lots, which we now offer at the same prices as before. After we had closed the sale about 60 days ago we were beseeched by a lot of disappointed folks who waited too long. One man said: "I thought that this tract would last as long as other tracts have lasted, but after going out to look over the place I can readily 6ee why it did not, and I regret very much that I did not act quicker." Well, there were several just like this. It is just these same people that we would again urge to take advantage of these few lots that we now have for sale. To the Rose Festival Visitors Yonr visit to Portland will not be complete unless you take a ride out MORNIXGSIDE and see the magnificent view afforded of the city. Take a Mount Tabor car going east on Morrison street, and get off at MORNIXGSIDE. The ride all the way out is beautiful and when you get to MORNIXGSIDE the view is the most beautiful in the city. One gentleman told us that if this view was in Switzer land you would be charged admission to see it. It is only a short ride and you will be well repaid for your time. Sidewalks, street work and the-much-talked-about view, $600 per lot and up, on easy terms. Hartman 8c Thompson .' V X CHAMBER OF COMMEECE BLDG.
