f THE SUNDAY OKEliOMAJf, POBTXAXD. JUNE 16. 11Z. ll RAIN BORES HOLE 111 FESTIVAL FINANCES Management of .Celebration Face Deficit That May Reach $4000. HOYT TO FIND WAY TO PAY President of Association to Devise Means for Making l"p Shortage. Less Money Collected-. Than for " Former Occasions. For the first time since the Rote Festival was established, five rears go, the management la confronted by a deficit. ' Weather conditions are blamed. The shortage mar reach $4000. Not untfi all bills, are presented can It be computed accurately. Means for meet ing It will be devised at onca by Ralph W. Hayt, president of the Rose Festival Association, who has charge of the finances. - Had the weather not interfered, this year's festival would have been carried out successfully at an expense .not to exceed 141,000. says the management. This la approximately the amount ac tually collected from business men and other festival supporters. When the week's programme was arranged pro. vision was made to keep the expendi tures within the amount collected. . "We hare to cut our garment accord ing to the cloth," said Mr. Hoyt yes terday morning. "Our collections this year were below those of former years, but we -were able to plan a much bet ter show than ever before. - Had the rain not visited ua at critical times I am sure that we would have finished the week without a deficit. As it was, we had the best attendance In tne his tory of the festival. We had the big gest and best parades and we adver tised Portland more extensively than In any previous festival year. Had we had the same kind of weather that we bad last year this festival would have broken all records." "" Festlviil Colleetle-Ba Ught- The Festival Association did not col lect as much money . this year as In former yearn. It cost more to collect It and In many departments the ex penditures were heavier. Yet it would bave been possible to provide a more .'laborate festival and a greater va riety of entertainment than ever be fore, says Mr. Hoyt, had not the rain Interfered. "When you figure the cost of main taining, offices, conducting a prelim inary, publicity campaign, building .he elaborate floats used in the electrical parades, providing prizes in the other parades and paying the cost of music, special -police service and help where ever it Is needed. I am sure that peo ple will agree that we have put on a wonderful exhibition for about $41, 00." continued Mr. Hoyt. , "Had we not encountered rain this sum would have answered our pur poses. The rain caused extra expense as each of the nights that the electric . parade was unable to appear-we had to pay all -the men who served in It just the same. These things Increased our expenses approximately $4000." Starves Deelarea Hoyt, Reviewing the festival . week as a whole. Mr. Hoyt said: "Unquestionably It was the most suc cessful celebration given since the fes tival idea was conceived. There were more parades, they were . bigger and better arm more representative of Fort land. It brought greater crowds, more conventions, more money and more widespread advertising than in former years. It found the city Immensely im proved in the way of decorations and illuminative treatment and it found the citizens of Portland and the hordes of visitors keyed up to a much higher pitch of enthusiasm and spirit of fes tlvlty than in former years. "Never has the city been called upon to entertain so many prominent visl tors from all parts of the country, and aside from gaining an enviable repu tation as a convention place and city of hospitality, the Rose Festival lias made Portland one of the most - at tractive playgrounds of the country, drawing wealthy tourists and pleasure seekers here In untold numbers. "The advertising value of this week of entertainment cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but the message and enthusiasm that our visitors will take liome is the greatest benefit we i ran derive from any public demonstra tion and will continue to make the RoseJ Festival the greatest Individual adver tising asset -we have. Hoyt May Give l Job, Mr. Hoyt Intimated yesterday that he Is desirous of relinquishing his place at the head of the festival . as sociation. In the year last passed he devoted virtually all his time to the work. He was forced to neglect private buflness. t The festival has grown ao that-It will require a man to devote his entire attention to executive affairs in addition to the general manaKer. In addition to acting as general man ager in the. last few years, George L. Hutchln has designed and superintend ed the construction of all the electrical floats, has conducted the publicity campalgna and has attended to other details. "The electrical parade was by far the grandest thing I ever saw," de clared Charles F. Traung, of San Fran cisco., who ia connected with the pub licity department of the Pana;na-Pa-clfic Exposition. "When Mr. Hutchln asked me to stay here for the parade I thought, of course, that he would show me something extraordinarily beautiful, but I had no Idea that any thing could be conceived to equal the parade I saw last night. It exceeded even the elaborate description of it given by Mr. Hutchln himself." WOMAN OPPOSES DECREE divorce hearing.

The Insistent ringing of the telephone between 1 and S o'clock , yesterday morning broke the slumbers of Frank Fields, Jr., at the residence of his father. County Clerk Fields, $81 Thompson street, Irvington. Rubbing his eyes and muttering execrations, Frank arose and grabbed the receiver. His "hello" was far from pleasant. "Hello," came from the other end of the line, "we want you to come down and Issue a marriage license." "A marriage license at this time of nlghtr returned the son and heir of the County Clerk. "For the love of cats, be reasonable. Come In tomorrow and Tommy Noonan will fix you up." "No, we want it tonight. We must have it tonight- We'll send a taxicab after you and send you home in it. Be a good fellow and come along," an swered the man. A little more plead ing won over young Frank, who Is a Deputy County Clerk. "All right, send the machine along," he said, and In about a quarter of an hour it came chug-chugging up to the door.' Inside were 'a young' man and young woman. Frank took his seat on the outside with the chauffeur and they started. Murmurs came, from -the Inside and it soon became apparent that a difference of opinion existed. Final ly, when the taxi was nearly half way down town the would-be husband stuck his head out of the window and said to the driver: " "Mr. Driver, please take Mr. Fields back to his home.

Hicks Company,'' which was given a Contract to complete In every detail the west wing of the new Courthouse, has. resumed- tbe painting portion of the contract, which was re linquished to the County Court -when Sheehy Bros., who conduct their busi ness on the "open shop" plan, were the lowest bidders for the work and the union men employed on the building threatened to strike and tie up the work completely If Bheehy Bros, re ceived it. The County Court tried its hand at the painting end of the contract, an agreement being enetered Into by which the amount of Sheehy Bros', bid was deducted from the sum total to be paid the Lewis A. Hicks -Company. John Blled. who. also runs an ."open shop," was tne-lowest bidder In response to the county's advertisement, and mat ters were in as hopeless a tangle as be fore. - Then the contracting company reciprocated by relieving the county, an agreement being entered into by which the amount of Blled' s bid will be added to the amount to be paid for the build ing by tae county. Blied's bid was. however, over $1000 higher than that of Sheehy - Bros. County Jndge Cleeton declares that more than $1000 worth of painting was added to the specifications since tho Sheehy bid was received ami before the county advertised and that the Lewis A.
