Ther ha been a feeling of co-operation and rood will riprtii'd on eery hand, and the man agement I now convinced that the coming- show, which will be held the week ' of June 10-li. will be a brilliant suc resa If the money continue to come a It has in the last few days there will be no doubt of it. Kanfc Hear Pertlaa. The following eseerpt are taken from the letter of a number of the enthusiastic business men of the city and show how they feel about making the Festival a permanent annual reie. Kdgar J. Paly I taice pleasure In im-lnslnr mr rheck. doubling my sub- acrlptlon for the Rm Festival for next vear. I consider the Kose Festival a tremendous advertising feature to our fit taurine my trip In Europe. I heard of the Hose Festival everywhere. Peo nle eooke of Portland and It beauti ful roses, and consider that the home of the loveliest flower Is In rortiana. I would like to take occasion to say that manv of our wealthy property owners who have been enjoying the benefits of the Kose Festival fall to realise the Importance of thla event. Thev have been enjoying; greatly in creased rental, owing; to the great in crease In population In Portland, on account of the advertising; given fori land by the Rose Festival, and I con Irfer that thev should be large con tributor to thl fund. The burden of this fund as well a all other funds for advertising- Portland has been born by the business men. It Is time that the property-owners should awak en and do their share. I think that If thla matter wa called to their atten tlon they would be pleased to con tribute to thl fund, a Portland's gain la their gain. Ftraa See Beaeflt. Woodard. Clarke Co. Tou may enter our subscription for flO. same as last year, for the Rose Festival. Lennon'a, by Charles F. Berg; Having; read with much Interest your sugges tion to raise 110.000 for the next Rose Festival, we wish to go on record as heartily Indorsing your plan. In view of the fact that Seattle, for its first Potlatch celebration waa able to raise $40,000. It would certainly seem that Portland, which I undoubt edly In much better financial condition than 1 our sister city on the Sound, at this time, should be able to raise a tmllar amount for the next Rose Festi val, baring bad the benefit of the paat success of thl celebration. Our firm can personally testify to the financial benefit accruing to the merchant of Portland through our annual Summer Roa Show. We cannot conceive that the business men of Portland will do anything less than ex tend themselves to the fullest In order to insure the continued holding of these festival As an evidence of our appreciation ef the benefit of the Portland Rose Festival, wa wish to notify yon that w will Increase oar usual donation. AO reaasseata Favorable. Brownsville Woolen Mill Store, by J. Lk Bowman I have recently seen In th papers some talk of the Rose Carnival being discontinued, and as I think It would be a serious mistake and a great loss to our city, from an advertising standpoint. I am pleased to have th opportunity of today doubling my last year subscription. For the past two year. Immediately following the Rose Carnival. I have been In the Fast, and from the favor able comments heard on every hand and the large amount of news concern ing It published in the Eastern papers. 1 believe the Rose Show to be worth fully ll.soo.ono to Portland. It Is al most on a par with the Mardl Graa held In New Orleans, and as a business man I would like to see $100,000 spent next yesr In giving the best carnival ever held In the I'ntted States. The Kse Carnival has been one of the big things In making Portland the best town In the country, and we can not afford to lose the direct benefit whli-h It brings. CHURCH SEEKS LABOR DATA .

At present the section west of Fifth street and north of Washington street. Including Stark street. Oak street about to be opened, and Burnslde street. Is witn- out any local car service, the present Rurnslde-street car being run trom Fifth to Sixteenth street only to keep the franchise, and running practically empty, because few persons want to transfer at Fifth, and again at six teenth to get up town. We would do away with the transfer now made at Washington street, which is particular ly Inconvenient mornings and evenings. by carrying passengers so much nearer where they want to go. that a trans fer will not be necessary. Retail mer chants near the present point of trans fer cannot feel Injured, as It Is sug gested that car be run both ways on the routes selected, thug enaonng resi dents to get to lower Washington street direct as at present, or a little later by staying In a car routea arouna uj other sly over the same route.
