ORIGINAL and MODERN SCHEMES
INTERIOR DECORATION
By this we mean the essential principles of the correct decora
tion and furnishing of the home, and in such a manner that the furni
ture, the floor coverings, the color scheme and decoration of walls
and the drapery hangings are appropriate and in perfect harmony
with each other. Perhaps no other feature in the completion of a
home is deserving of so much attention as is the interior decoration.
In this class of work our efforts have been specially directed, and we
can furnish estimates and original designs for the furnishing and
decorating of the home, the club, the lodge, the hotel and other places
requiring special ideas. Our stock of the various materials and fab
rics for all drapery and upholstery purposes embraces everything in
classic and other designs. To those who contemplate building or re
modeling we will be pleased to suggest ideas for effective decoration.

THE "CONEY ISLAND OF THE WEST" OPENS
"The Oaks," Portland's Great Amusement Resort, Is Rich in Attractions This Year.
WHILE they were about it, they
made almost a Coney Island of
"The Oaks."
The incoming throng of visitors to
these Oregon grassy shores may learn,
anrl that quickly, that the people of
this Inland realm are ready with an j
amusement resort that vies with the
test In this or any other old part of
Uncle Sam's country.
We are proud of that Island covered
with oak trees and a gorgeous em
broidery of entertaining contrivances
for tne delectation and recreation of
mankind and womankind, and not for
getting their sons, their daughters,
cousins, acquainlr.ces, arid babies.
The New Yorker always takes his vis
itor to Coney Island: We may take the
stranger that Is within our gates to "The
Oaks."
And there shall not be any disappoint
ment. It is a place of grandeur, a place
of Infinite variety, a place of rest, a place
of refreshment, a place of delight in ath
letic sports, bathing, riding, swimming,
yachting, listening to miusic, seeing the
"trail" (now called "The Aveiiue"1. which
bears comparison with some of the best
that have been the life of national fair
hitherto.
t Go by rail. Go by boat. Kliher way
you choose you will he comfortable,
reparations have been made by the O.
W. P. Company to handle immense
crowds. Electric motor cars with two or
three open-car trailers will start from
First and Alder streets practically every
five minutes, for the 15-minute. service
means sending out a train in three sec
tions, each section consisting of three or
four cars. The launches and boats, are
running all day from the foot of Morri
son street. And, oh, haven't they made
improvements at "The Oaks" from last
year !
Many who went there laft year were so
pleased with the general offerings and
provisions for a charming outing that the
L verdict was that the place was a rival ot
ne iewis ana tarK lair.
In fact, it is restful as well as excit
ing. You may Indulge in all the whole
some excitements you' choose, and you
may sll down on a bench among
the trees in the cool shade, and while
away as much time as you are inclined
to. while hearing the dulcet strains of
D'I'rbano's Band.
The changes made are all for the better.
In the tirst place, the big change con
sists in the enlargement of everything
the increased facilities for taking care of
big crowds. In addition to enlarging the
entrance depot at the southern end of
the grounds, a long, covered platform and
ticket offices have been constructed
slightly to the northward, and this exit
string of gates debouches in a BO-feet-wide
gangway from the end of the grand
"Avenue." The ground has been filled In
along that side of the grounds, and here
are located all the "attractions." It
seems a good and pleasant plan to re
move, as they have, nearly every vistige
of commercialism from the grounds prop
er, except the refreshment booths, the
"lemonade stands, the soft-drink empo
riums, etc. In the interior, where at night
the astounding number of electric bulbs
clusters of phlning effulgence among the
myriad branches make the place a sem
blance of-lovely fairyland.
The scene at night Is more than en
trancing. The island has been trained
and landscaped and trimmed and culti
vated and built upon for two years, with
an Intelligent. view of utilizing the natural

They admit vehicles to the board walk
along the riverside of the grounds. Here
also are the bathing pavilion, the giant
wing that opens like an umbrella when
the big turnstile goes around. I swung
in that great whirligig yesterday and felt
like a monkey on the end of a string. We
went over the figure-eight chutes and felt
like an appropriate dramatic criticism
of "The Eternal City" mixed up. I
looked at the Japanese teahouse. I saw
the many booths just ready to open. T
heard a million strokes of hammers and
saw a hundred thousand paint brushes
just giving the finishing touches to divers
buld!ngs. At the upper end of the board
walk is the yacht clubhouse. Passing
down "The Avenue" we encounter things
enough to beckon us for a lifetime: Hale's
Pullman Cars; Zlz-Zag: a wonderful Ja
panese exhibit of 50 life-size carved fig
ures that missed the Iewls and Clark
fair; the skating rink with a floor lTox
255 feet; a theatre In preparation; a maze;
Chllcoot Pass; the Royal ice cream par
lor: the Hindoo Temple: dancing pavilion;
the Old Mill; Postal Telegraph office;
barber shop, bootblack establishment;
messenger office; jail; hospital; regular
police system; the popular-priced restaur
ant: soda water and grape Juice booths In
abundance. There Is enough that I have
forgotten to keep you busy for two hours.
As good as anything else (perhaps bet
ter) is D'Urbano's Band, that has been
augmented by eight pieces. I sat under
an oak tree as old as the s-tory of love,
looked down into a fountain, let my eyes
wander over the flower bds and offThto
the distance, over the beautiful waters of
the flowing Willamette, and against the
luscious greens of the hills that were sil
houetted on tho sky.
What did it matter to me that "King
Dodo" was the pretty little strain that
the band was playing? I was in heaven.
The most welcome fact concerning "The
Oakp" is that you can plunge into the
activities of "The Avenue" at will, and
stroll back into a heaven among the shel
tering oak trees when you are tired.

HE RETURNS FROM BOSTON
E. L.
Rice Back From Convention
of Musicians' Union.
E. L. Rice, delegate of the local
Musicians' Union, returned yesterday
from the convention of the American
Federation of Musicians, which was
held at Boston from May 21 to S.
Two hundred delegates attended the
convention, and the local man worked
hard to secure the next convention for
this city, but in the face of the oppo
sition from Denver, he was unsuccess
ful, and the association chose Cleve
land as the next meeting place. Mr.
Rice Is not very favorably impressed
with the Boston climate, for on one
of the days he was there the thermom
eter fell 21 degrees in three minutes,
and hereafter it Is Oregon for him.

advantages that were there, and accen
tuating thorn for the benefit of the eye
and the general comfort. House after
horse, building after building, novel
structure after novel structure have been
put up with a view of Interesting and
amusing a pleasure-teeklng multitude.
The result is magnificent.
It is a well-planned scheme, and well
wrought out. It deserves the hearty and
liberal patronage of the people who want
to get the fresh air, want to hear good
music, want to feel at play In a wide gar
den of various games. Each novel amuse
ment bidding for your attention along
"The Avenue" bas some genuine call
upon your notice, and each offers suffi
cient Joy for the price demanded. Ten
cents admltti you to "The Oaks" and all
there Is there, except the special amuse
ments of the concessions. They are rent
ed out on the same plan that is followed
by the big fairs that have been held.
Everything is there that was there last
year, and a great deal more. One good
thing that will be welcomed (Mr. Fried
lander told me that they were to have IO
is a moving stairway at the big chutes. It
will no longer be what the Chinaman
said of tobogganing: "Fizzt! Walk a
mile."
Although there is a good deal of work.
to be done before "The Avenue" Is In
complete readiness, enough Is on hand
and ready for business now to occupy
you for a whole day and then not be
through the list. First, you know, you
can find a fine meal at "The JTavern." I
know it. because I had one yesterday.
They didn't charge me anything extra for
seeing a -yacht race, and a four-oared
skull tipped over, from the restaurant
balcony, either. You can get beer, there,
too, notwithstanding the report that some
one alleged that it was to be a dry place.
You can approach the place up the other
side of the river by automobile, or walk,
if you prefer, and go over on the ferry.
