And the railway mall clerk! t This letter-writing business baa in ' creased the burden of labor at the lo ; cal postoffice and on the mail trains running out of Portland so that the . postal employes feel like crying; for help. But are they going- to cry for help? No! Indeed, no. "Come on with your letters." say : the postoffice people defiantly. "You ran't bring 'em too fast or too often ;' or too many to suit us." In seeming acceptance of this chal lenge the people of Portland kept the colossal mailbox opposite the postof fice in Sixth street loaded to the proverbial guards yesterday. Folks didn't wait until noon the ap- pointed hour for the daily demonstra . tion but started to drop their letters Into the box in the early morning. Then at noon came the big avalance or mail from the Rotary Club, the W. C. T. IT. and hundreds of individual patriotic citizens. The deluge was con tinued through the afternoon and early - evening. Daylight Fireworks la Staged. The Rotarians uncorked a number. or spectacular stunts that added to the gaiety of the occasion and that furnished an abundance of the coveted "action" that makes happy the heart of the motion-picture operator. For Instance, a big display of day light fireworks accompanied the Rotary crowd's visit to the mail box. This spectacle was produced by the Co lumbia Fireworks Company, one of the - infant industries only recently es ' tablished in Portland. A group of toy balloons also was cent up into the air, with messages at tached. Finders will be rewarded with liberal prizes at the hands of the Rotarians. The Rotary members were conspic uous as they formed in line yesterday Each member wore a small mail sack over his back. Invariably the sacks were filled with letters, which were dumped into the gaping slot of the monster green box as the procession filed by. Metiorn Picture Represented. A number of sandwich men with cleverly worded slogans expressing the spirit of the occasion were prominent In the parade. The Rose Festival dates, June T, 8 and 9, were flaunted at re peated intervals In the procession. The W. C. T. IJ. section was headed by Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp, state presi dent, and a committee of state officers. pant state officers and local officers. They deposited a large volume of let ters. Another Interesting section was that et the Pathe motion-picture producers. Conspicuous therein was a huge papier mache rooster the trademark of the concern. Today has been set aside for the Ad Club and the Royal Rosarians. Everyone May Hall Letters. But don't think that just because these particular organizations ara go ing to be prominent today other folks cannot mail their letter.. The contrary is true. Mail all the letters you can. Bring them to the big box at the noon, if possible, but if not possible, drop them into any old letter box anywhere in town. And if you haven't time to write.) why dictate your letters to any one of the fair stenographers distributed conven iently in the business district.
