' Portland will Be afforded opportunity of seeing the prodigality with which the Peninsula can distribute roses tomorrow morning. At 8 A. M. a apecial train of five electric cars will leave St. John. The first will be an open car and contain the Peninsula Band, which will be followed by three open cars occupied by yoting women dressed in white. At all points along the St. John carline, starting at the scnooinouse in St. John, roses will be gathered and loaded on the special train: The 'cars will come to Killingsworth. ave nue and run down Williams avenue and then down to Holladay, thence to East Burnside, thence to Grand avenue, to East Morrison, and to the . West Side across the Morrison bridge to the Expo sition grounds: back on Washington street to Third, and thence across the Steel bridge to North Albina. The young women on the cars will distribute roses while passing through the streets on the West Side. ....... J. H. Nolta, who is looking after the rose, cars tor the Peninsula Rose Asso ciation, .and who is manager .for the Pe ninsula Band, asks that roses be cut to night or early Friday morning and left at all the stations along the St. John line, as it is desired literally to shower Port land with roses from the cars. People on Lower Albina carline can send their roses to Killingsworth avenue, and people on Williams avenue are asked to leave their roses near the carline to be gath ered up by the special train. Manager Nolta proposes to show that the Peninsula alone can produce roses enough to furnish a festival, and expects to arrange to make the same distribution of roses in Seattle. CARLOAD GIVEN DAILY EVERY STRANGER GETS ROSE AT DEPOT. Peninsula Citizens Will Also Strew Blooms on City Streets From Cars. Every person who arrives In Portland by train at the Union Depot is presented with' a rose by the Peninsula Rose Festi val Association. This association has erected an attrac tive booth , at- the main entrance to the station and each day attractive young women, arrayed in Rose Festival colors, pin free roses in the butto'nholes of the many visitors. "Free roses. Free roses," Is the cry that reaches the ears of the incoming travelers above the calls of the hotel busmen and carriage drivers. F. T. Gilpatrick, who is in charge of the booth, says that SO boxes of roses are being given away daily. This is equivalent to a carload each day. Spe cial pains are being taken to impress the visitors from the East. Under the coun ters of the booth are long rows of pans filled with the choicest of the roses kept on ice pending the arrival of overland trains. ... Each locality of the Peninsula is doing its part in the distribution of the roses. Tuesday young women from St. John as sisted in waiting on the arrivals; yester day this work was performed by young women from University Park. Today North Albina and Mississippi avenue will be represented. .Those who assisted Mr. Kilpatrick yesterday were: Mrs. S. B. Kerr, Mrs. E. H. Gilman, Miss Zygow ski. Miss Cummins, Miss Davis, Miss Bowman, Miss Rhinemiller, Miss Walton, MiES Knorr. The Peninsula Rose Festival Association has also been making free distribution of roses throughout the city. Yesterday roses were scattered along the route to the Rose Show by the organization. Friday the free gifts of- roses by the Peninsula Association will be on the wholesale. Five streetcars have been chartered. One will carry the Peninsula Band, the second 50 young women of the Peninsula and the other three cars will be loaded with roses. The route laid out for the shower is along Williams avenue from St. John, leaving St. John at 9 A. M. ; thence to Grand avenue, to East Morrison, and via Morrlson-etreet bridge to the Fairgrounds; thence on Twenty third to Washington, to Third and via the Steel bridge to Union avenue. J. H. Nolta is the promoter of this plan and is advocating giving a similar rose shower in Seattle on Portland day. Night Trains During Festival Week. The Oregon Electric Railway Company will have special cars leaving Portland for Salem and intermediate stations at 11 o'clock, and for Hlllsboro and Forest Giove at 11:30 each evening during Rose Festival week. .
