SAN FRA.N'CISCO. April J. (Spe
cll.i Plans (or the greatest conjeress
.of the world's warships la history, to
he hfM during the Exposition period in
Sin Francisco Bay. were revealed Tues
day by Charles C. Moore, president of
the I'anama-Paclf ic International Kxpo
ettlon. at a convention of delegates
from the different frstiva associations
on the Pacific Coast, beld at the St.
.Francis llotely.
Day and night parades which will
fhanae the city Itself Into a KlKantlo
carnival scene, special festivals to be
celebrated In the city and vicinity com
memorative of such historic eras as the
occupation of California, the arrival of
the missionaries, the cominc of 1S49
and later events of similar signifi
cance were spoken of by President
.Moore as details of a systematic plaa
to re-enforce the Exposition with oat
side entertainment features rivaling
in splendor the Exposition and em
bracing more intimately the city itself.
Delegates Hear Plaam.
These plans were revealed to the
'deleaales who cam to form a featlval
association as an adjunct to the Ex
jvonltlon committee, so it miftht be
guided In whatever plans might be
made for concurrent festivals and cele
brations la the cities to the north and
south.
Co-operation between the exposition
and the festival association was urged,
by President Moore to the end that
there might be no unnecessary over
lapping of festival dates and conflict
with Ibe special features being ar
ranged to supplement locally the
greater event.
The convention, which was repre
sentative of virtually every festival,
fair and local or state exposition man
agement on the Pacific Coast from Van
couver to Can Diego, met at 10 o'clock
with more than luO delegates present.
The meeting was In response to an in
formal call Issued by George L.
liutchln, general manager of the Tort
land Hone Festival, several weeks ago.
In the call the meeting was urged
that the many different festival asso
ciations, all working with local pride
and Interest at heart, might unite Into
a broader organisation to work with
the year lle In view and with the
benefits of the entire Coast as its ob
lectiv point. The project already had
been given the support of the exposi
tion management, and the convention
was held under official auspices.
Mr. liutchln was Introduced as the
temporary chairman by Captain John
Harneson, of the exposition committee.
H explained to the -assembled dele
gates thst It would benefit the entire
.'oast region If the different' associa
tions would work together with a view
to providing exposition visitors with
urh a continuous, consecutive pro
gramme of local celebrations and fes
tivities that, those coming from the
Kast via the northern railroads might
travel leisurely down from Vancouver
r Tortland. lured to stops In each
principal city by local festivals, and
r turn to tbeir homes after the exposi
tion visit by a southern route, which
would enable them to visit the fes
ivals at Pasadena. Los Angeles. San
1'iepo and other cities to the south.
C'Bcerte4 Plaa Is Alas.
By bitting upon a concerted plan to
make this sort of a programme, pos
thle." said Mr. liutchln. "we will be
a tile to hold our tourist visitors for
nuch longer periods than we could if
the exposition Itself was the one at
traction, or if San Diego and Pasadena
.'or instance, give their beautiful feetl
vals at the same time Portland gives
Its Rose Festival and Hcattle Its Goklen
l otlatch. thereby making it Impossible
for the visitor to attend both and,
necessitating his making a preference.
What we want is first to get the peo
ple started to San Francisco and then
having them on their way, persuade
them to Include the entire Coast In
'.heir Itinerary."
The delegates present were organised
Into a permanent association to be
known as the Festivals Association of
the Pacific Coast. Mr. liutchln was
chosen chairman and empowered to
appoint an executive committee of one
member from each state and territory
represented. Including Hawaii, which
was represented at the meeting by Mrs.
Francis Headlce, special agent of the
Allied Chambers of Commerce of the
Inland possessions.
Prv-aa Cammlttee Projected.
A press committee to Include one
member from each festival organisa
tion also was authorized and this ccm
niitteee. member of which will be dele
gated hv their home associations, will
rreeet April IS In the exposition build
ing to agree upon a plan of co-operative
publicity for all the festivals which
will mark the year 1915.
The executive committee which will
be named by Chairman Htuchin will fix
the date of the next meeting of the
new association and will have prepared
for consideration at that meeting a ten
tative programme of dates for the dif
ferent local festivals planned for the
exposition period. This general meet
ing probably will be held prior to
April IS.
At the morning sessions speeches,
were made by the various delegates,
all assuring the convention that the
associations they represented intended
to enter Into 11S festival plans with
the determination to surpass all past
achievements. Portland. Seattle. Ta
i oma. Vancouver, San Diego and Los
Angeles especially were enthusiastic
in outlining the plana of their respec
tive associations.

part of Clackamas were the guests to
right of the Commercial Club and,
while the Oregon City business men,

able event.
Summed up In a few words, the vis

of county division, and to argue in its
favor, and the Oregon City business
men, as hosts, were as polite as they
possibly could be and still fail to agree
