WILL MAKE GOOD, HOWEVER Directors Take Readily to Idea and Will See That Proper Repre sentation Is Made to Adver tise the 1909 Exposition. SEATTLE, - Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe cial.) who told the Portland Rose Carnival management that the direct ors of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex position were going to present it with a float? This is the question that Is agitat ing the minds of the fair directors. None of them ever heard of such a proposition until they read of it in The Portland Oregonlan, the article being Illustrated with a big picture of the prospective float. President Ed Chllberg wag the first person asked as to the intentions of tho directors with regard to the Port land Festival, and he expressed Ignor ance, -at the same time saying that it was a good idea. Director-General L A. "jadeau was the next official ques tioned, and he also denied any knowl edge of the affair. Then there was an inquiry on the part of the directors, but failure met any attempt to find out who had made the proposition to the Portland men. Neither could any correspondence on the subject be found. One or two Portland firms have been given concessions at the fair, and there is a suspicion that the "gift" of the directors was contributed by one of them. Regardless, however, of the method in which the Portland Festival management was given the idea that the Exposition is going to proffer the float, the expectations of the Portland people will be realized, for while the idea was not original with the expo sition directors, they nevertheless hold that it is a good one, and that a float designed on the lines pictured in The Oregonlan will be a fine ad vertisement for the big fair.
