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."

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. Other available fish are cat
fish and perch. 1) to 15 cents: halibut
and black cod. 12H cents: tom-cod.
croppies snd sole and California smelt
15 cents: flounders and Sound smelt 10
cents a pound: new salt mackerel Is In
and cost from 15 to 60 cents each.
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. '
New grapefruit and sweet navel or
anges aie coming In more plentifully.
The former cost about 15 cents each,

"When Chief of Police GrUzmacher or

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
