PRIZES FOR BEST ASKED Every Resident Called On to Aid In Programme Under Direction of Koso Festival Heads for Beautifying Portland. Encourage the Dlantiner of roses along the curblines at every residence in Portland and the Dlacinsr of rasa boxes on the sidewalks in the business district by dividing the city in dis tricts and awarding prizes in each, is the central Idea of a plan given in formally to officers of the Rose Festi val Association yesterday by Julius L. Meier. 'If everyone would do a little to ward the general programme, Port land soon literally would be flanked with roses on every street and Its fame as the Rose City would be forced to the ears of the entire world," said Mr. Meier. General Plan Outlined. "Immediately the public should be interested in the cultivation of roses of all kinds, until every resident has dotted the parking in front of his nome with rose bushes. By the adop tion of some symmetrical arrangement wnereby 10, 15 or 20 bushes are planted in front of each lot, the idea could be carried out without inflicting any con siderable expense on any resident and the total effect of the programme would be wonderful. "Also by the contribution of one cent a pupil, the grounds surrounding the schoolhouses of Portland could be transformed into gardens, and so on with other public buildings. "In the downtown district receptacles of standard size planted with several rose bushes each and properly sodded could be placed along the educes of the sidewalks at 20-foot Intervals. "If this plan is carried .out every vis itor to Portland during the San Fran cisco fair next year will be impressed strongly wjth Portland and will never forget that impression. It would be almost impossible for him to go 100 feet without seeing everywhere direct proof of Portland's pre-eminence as the Rose City. Prise for Display Suggested. "As I "see it, the best way to bring the general plan to fulfillment would be to award prizes for the excellence of rose displays la respective districts all over the city. Portland could be divided into 500 districts, each em bracing about 10 square blocks. At certain times these districts could be judged by committees of the Rose Fes tival Association and first, second and third prizes awarded to the winners. Some of the prizes could be cash, while ribbons could be issued for the minor awards. Thus the residents would not only help in making their city the Rose center of the world and at the same time materially improve their premises. but they would stand a fair chance of receiving a substantial reward for their pains. "If the plan is to be a complete success, all of the prominent organi zations of the city, the Sunday schools as well as all clubs and improvement organizations, should get behind the programme at once." TALKING MACHINE BUILT Carman Company Makes Columbia Graphophones for Coast. Portland has added phonographs to the list of her manufactured products.
