LIBERTY ILL MAY CCf.lt

TNG FOR TROPHY TO TRAVEL.
No Objections of Serious Xature Are
Made, Says Governor Cham
berlain In Report.
Governor Chamberlain filed an official
report with President Ralph W. Hoyt. of
the Portland Rose Festival, yesterday,
covering his efforts to obtain the Liberty
Bell as one of the star features of the
grand dvio celebration during the week
of next June when the festival Is to be
held.
That a certain amount of red tape will
have to be unwound, and that the Mayor
of Philadelphia, together with the Com
mon and Select Council, will have to be
shown that Portland and Seattle are to
hold demonstrations that are of National
import, was clearly Implied in what Gov
ernor Chamberlain told the festival peo
ple.
The officials and citizens or tne City or
Brotherly Love" are not In the least
averse to having the bell come out to
the Pacific Northwest, but ever since
they were placed In charge of the bell
they have assumed that but few events
in the calendar of American affairs were
great enough to attract this trophy.
Congressman 3. Hampton Moore, of
the Philadelphia district, told Governor
Chamberlain that there would be no
question as to the chances of having the
Liberty Bell brought out to Portland and
Seattle next Summer, for the simple
reason that the people of Philadelphia,
who are the real custodians of the pat
riotic trophy, think it would be a splendid
achievement to have this token sent to
the Pacific Slope. Very few. Indeed, are
the people of Oregon and Washington
who have ever seen this tocsin of liberty
and the only thing that the guardians of
this relic seem to take Into consideration
the Bupport which has already been
promised the idea by United States Sen
ators Penrose and Knox.
The officials of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-
clfio Exposition have not, up to the pres
ent time, shown very much activity, but
with the data furnished by Governor
Chamberlain and the indorsement which
Is expected from the entire congressional
elegation from Washington, it seems
that there is little chance of having any
opposing influence brought to bear against
the efforts of the Rose Festival.
Joint effort between the Seattle Fair
people and the management of the Port
land Rose Festival has been assured.
Such steps as may be deemed necessary to!

the attorneys of the International Har

The case for the state will thus rest
upon the evidence of officials of the

will be placed In the position of at
tacking the statements of its own of

that the case will be decided by argu

The response to this advertisement was in

plainly that the public knows that lots in Swintorf
are a most desirable investment.
Are you one of those who bought on Thurs
day or Friday or Saturday? If not, remember that
you've only two days to get in on the ground floor.
Remember also that it is almost absolutely
certain that every lot will be sold, by tonight.
Procrastination is a thief of time and also

in many regrets for you may result in your seeing
someone else who was forehanded and farsighted

The price you pay for these wonderful Swin

clearing off of all brush are ready to build on.
Never before in the history of this city has such a
splendid investment been offered to the public as
Swinton lots.
It's a pity that we can't show what these lots
really are in cold print, but we are more than will
ing to show you the lots themselves. An inspec
tion of them will convince you very quickly and
speedily that they are a good purchase.
