the first week of next June. In addition
to the California State Hoard of Trade,
with more than L-UU delegates, and the
Saeraininlo Valley Pevoioement "League,
with a large a number of representa
tives, ttie Iis Anseles Chamber of Com
merce has just decided to charter a spe

"Southern Calitornia metropolis to Port
land for a two days' visit, following
which the party will take side trips up
and down the Columbia River. Some of
the party will visit the Pugct Sound
country.
The credit f-r securing this large dele
gation from Los Angeles, which is the
center of floral shows, for the Portland
Rose Festival, belongs to William Mc
"Murray. chairman of the publicity depart
ment of the festival. He accompanied
the recent Inland Empire excursion to
Sonlhern California and did effective
work down -there, with the result that
"Walter Raymond, secretary of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, took up
the matter of arranging for a special
train with, the trustees of the organiza
tion, and It was at once decided to visit
Portland's show.

BY CURTIS SHAW,
shown here are from these two volumes.
Mr. Curtis intends' to spend ten years in
completing the entire set of portfolios,
which will consist of 30 volumes. He ha
devoted three years to the first two. which
probably represent his most, difncult as
most artistic work, lie personally makes
all the negatives and writes- the text

live in practically their aborieinal state.

when the Portland "boosters" told the
Angelenos that finer roses and more of
them could be -produced here than they
ever knew of in the whole state of Cal
ifornia, the Southerners took up the chal
lenge and straightway declared that they
would have to to "be shown."
"Rose planting day"' on Washington's
birthday, was even scouted by the Is
Angeles enthusiasts, who were sure that
Oregon was snow and storm-bound like
the Middle West aud the whole Eastern
country, and only the most aggnessive
tactics succeeded In persuading the Cal
Iforniuns that a trip to Portland in earlv
Summer would show them "things theyJ
ueei Knew.
That Portland Is the greatest rose-growing
community in the United States, If
not in the world, is indicated by estimates
prepared from figures submitted by the
leading florists and nurserymen of the
city. These estimates show that the
citizens of Itirtland have already planted
as a result of the Rose Festival agitation,
between ;a1.000 and 00.000 rose bushes since
last October, and also that nine out of
every H lawns and gardens in the City of
Portland has from half a dozen to oO.i rose
bushes, all of which will be in full bloom
by the opening day of the festival. This
means that millions upon millions of roses
will be in bloom by festival time, num
bers far in excess of those available dur
ing the brief carnival of last Summer.
Kugene. through its Commercial Club,
will enter more than 100 young girls beau
tifully costumed in the All-Oregon parade
and in competition for the grand prize
of fcOO in cash for the most attractive
display in this pageant. John Hartog.
secretary of the Eugene Commercial
Club, was in the city yesterday and ar
ranged for the entry of the young women
of the University town. The girls will
carry flowers and many-colored parasols
and will be clothed In gorgeous costumes
so that this division of the parade will
spell the following words:
"Kugene. Lane County. Oregon." -The
girls who will take part in this
parade will be drilled so that their man
