ADOPT EXPLOITATION PLAN Hill Officials Promise President Hoyt That Their Line Wilt Give Much Publicity to Port land' Celebration. ' At a conference held yesterday after noon between Assistant General Pas senger Agent Charlton of the Northern Pacific and Ralph W. Hoyt. president of the Rose Festival Association, a plan of publicity for the third annual floral feast to be held In Portland the week of June 7 to 12. was discussed. The part which all of the affiliated Hill lines will play In exploiting the errand civic Jubilee in connection with their advertising of the Alaska-Tukon-Paclrtc Exposition was outlined In a tentative way by Mr. Charl ton who. had discussed the matter with President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific during their sight-seeing tour of the citT in the morning. President Elliott expressed his own personal Interest in the question largely for the reason that he was here in his private car during- the Festival of last June and witnessed the big daylight parade of the week. At that time Mr. Elliott's car 'was handsomely decorated with Portland's magnlncent roses and this with his enjoyment of the street pageantry Induced him to promise a part of his time at the evening s banquet to the R-e Festival. Decide to Issue Posters. As a result of the meeting between Mr. Charlton and President Hoyt. It was de cided that the best scheme of publicity for the Festival from the railroad stand point would be through a wide-spread distribution of Illuminated posters, artistic In design and calling attention to th main features of the Festival. President Hoyt informed Mr. Charlton that he would at once recommend to the executive committee the offering of a series of prts for the most effective and artistic designs for such posters. These posters are to embody as nearly aa possible the spectacular features brought out by the Marrll Gras celebra tions at New Orleans. They are to rep resent street pageantry, processions of military, fraternal or social character, but the rose, the queen of flowers must predominate In all designs. Added weight will be given to all designs submitted which will embody some form of ex ploitation of the Seattle Fair. The com petition will be open to everybody. Local ertlsts will be expected to take their cue through the local press, while those of cities In the Middle West and East will be reached by circulars. No drawings or designs will be con sidered In the competition which do not Include some mention of the dates of the Festival. June 7-12. 1. and which do not make the rose the central idea of the decorative scheme. Mr. Hoyt Explains Contest. It has not been announced Just what the prises will be but the accepted design will be scattered broadcast over the coun try to every ticket agent of every railroad in the country. "The central Idea of this contest." said President Hoyt last night, "is that we want to conduct a campaign that will bring to Portland 80O.O0O visitors to next rear's Festival. I am sure we can do It if we go at It right. We expect to send out no fewer than anono of these artistic posters, for we have figured that this number will cover practically the entire country- We hope to receive de signs which win advertise our magnln cent Jlon.rtW celebration as well as the great exposition which opens at Seattle Just a week before our Rose Festival. We have every reason to believe that we will be able to give tourists as fine a demonstration as New Orleans does at her Mardl Gras celebrations. We have set such a mark and we mean to make good. "Last June we entertained lOn.oN) peo ple: expect to double the number this coming June." l&ETS THE market men all seem to be of the opinion that Thanksgiving birds of good quality will be. like Ol iver Wendell Holmes' blueberries, -skearce ar.d high" this year. House keepers who want to be sure of a fine, plump turkey, when the right time comes, will do well to place their or ders now. so that a choice bird may be specially selected, corn-fed. and pre pared for his lor. more probably, her) royal honors at the festive board. The price at present ranges from 26 to 30 rents a pound. Good chickens cost 18 to 20 cents, ducks :s cents and good, rtail-fed domestic geese about the same. Both squabs and pigeons are ratner scarce; the former ara about "i cents a pair, the latter S5 cents each. I know few things better than a nicely tufTed well-cooked pigeon for "an old maid's roast." Wild geese range in price from "5 rents to II. and Jack rabbits are about i (0 centa each. Among the fish, pike Is a newcomer thla week, and costs So cents. Black bass Is the same price. Very large striped bass, selling by the slice rather : than bv the fish, costs !5 cents. Some remarkably fine sturgeon (excellent roasted or braised like real, or atewed In tha Russian style, with white wine and savory herbs) costs 15 to 2,1 cents a pound. Salmon Is particularly good ana low In price Just now. Shrimps are higher, at 20 cents a pound: but are fine In quality and much In demand for salads, now that celery is at ita best. Crawfish look Inviting at 40 centa a noren. Mussels yield savory morsels to those who have the courage to eat , them. Crabs are 15 to 20 centa each and lobsters are 30 cents a pound. ,'Kastern lobsters, with real clawa on them, are expected guests for Thanka ! giving.

Cranberries are becoming- more lm-,-portant and plentiful. Cape Cod cran I berries cost from 16 to 20 cents a quart, -while Oregon cranberries are 10 cents a quart. I may be prejudiced, but It aeema to me that the Oregon berries, although smaller, are really better in flavor than the Kastern kind. For one thing, they rlprn on the bushes instead of In bar-.-als. Sprays of cranberries and foliage are most effective and useful as a gar nish for Thanksgiving tables and dish es, but It is only occasionally that an enterprising market man ofTers them for sale.

"When Chief of Police GrUzmacher or dered the arrest of all parties seen openly wagering on the Presidential elec tion, he overreached himself and ex ceeded his authority. There Is no city ordinance applying to such cases. This embarrassing discovery was made yesterday forenoon when the trial was called In the Municipal Court of A. Pease, J. Matches and B. Deidrich. Jr.. arrested In a police raid on the Schiller cigar store, where much election betting: was being done. The Chief had asked Dep uty City Attorney Sullivan for warrants covering the cajes. Mr. Sullivan ran sacked his law library In vain. The only law that could possibly apply was that relating to betting on gambling games or games of chance where gambling devices are used. Either the Australian ballot system had to be regarded as gambling paraphernalia or else the law would not apply to this particular case. Mr. Sulli van promptly reported that the case could not possibly gain any standing in court under the city ordinances. When the cases of the three men were called, dismissal had to be immediately entered In each case by Judge Van Zante. These men bad been wagering on the out rnm of Hpptlnn.
