-I look f r thousands of Callfornlans
to TUII Portland durln the nest R
Festival." said President Hoyt. yester
day, on Ills return from a week's Wt
In the South. where he went to brln
hi. family hack from a two months'
outlnc. The r'" 'ct of ,h ,,um
linn Is that Portlands annual fete has
heen no widely advertised through Cali
fornia, which h always prided Itself
f.n the beauty and manltude of the
carnivals held there, that the people
of the. state are deeply Interested In
our reUhratlon and I think they are
Jut a little bit envious of the success
we have made of It. They naturally
want to corue here and ee what we
hare.
"Portland ha the loyal hncstna- of
the a-reat orn!itlon which I behind
the Panama-I'arirV reposition becau.e
of the assistance Ve hve itlven thorn
and the friendly spirit thl city ha al
wava manifested. 1 extended an Invi
tation lo the fair official to come to
Portland for the f-.tlval and to be
our quests durlrtn- the week, and
eral of them assured me that they
would be itlad to come If they can
get away."
Hulnr Mm Coming.
In addition to this Mr. Hoyt an
nounred that the California business
men'a nrurtlon which l comlns; this
way for a tour of th Northwest waa
planned to enable the delegates to
take In two rtavs of the festival. Thla
will be the lara-est and moat represent
ative party of captains of Industry,
merchant princes and cttlsens of the
southern state that has ever Invaded
this terrttory. There will be at least
I3 and prohablr 300 persons In the
party and their Itinerary has been so
arraniced that they will be able to
witness one of the bl rose decorated
parades In daylla-ht and one of the
spectacular Illuminated float pageants
at night.
"The railroads are dolna; a rreat
work for us South." added President
Hoyt. "The official publlcatlona that
we have Issued Including eight-colored
posters, postcard albums. Inserts and
programmes, are getting generous and
widespread distribution. The Southern
Pacific Is distributing an Immense
amount of publicity matter boosting
the Festival and Oeneral Tassenger
Agent Charles S. Fee assured me that
he would do everything In his power
personally and through his office to
see that the Portland Festival waa ad
vertised thoroughly. He expressed the
hope that a number or special parties,
aside from the big business men's Junk
eting excursion, could be organised for
the trip here.
City Decoration Cnred.
There la no longer any doubt that
the annual celebration we give has be
come known from one end of Califor
nia to the other and I found the most
gratifying evidence of this wherever I
went while 1 was away.
"The reputation the Southern cities
have for lavish decorations and giving
full and free rein to the carnival spirit
during their floral festivals or tourna
ments la something that ought to spur
Portland to make extraordinary efforts
to dress up our city's streets and
buildings this year. We are going to
have the largest and most critical
crowds at the next Festival we have
yet had and they are going to make
comparisons with what tbey can do In
their own home towns and It Is up to
us to show them, especially our friends
from California, that we ran give Just
as elaborate and beautiful shows aa
they can. that our roses are Just as
gorgeous, fragrant and prollflo as they
are down there. Here Is our great
chance and I trust we shall make more
than good In our claim that the Hose
Festival Is the best affair of Ha kind
in the United States."
It waa announced at Festival head
quarters yesterday that the Astoria
Centennial Commission la organizing
and drilling a band of 6 touaves lo be
known as the Centennial Scout Irum
;rope. It will act as the official body
guard and escort for Hex Oregon us. the
King of the Festival, upon His UaJ
Jestys arrival on Monday. June S. the
opening day of the celebration. The
greeting of the King will be on an
'mposlng scale this year. Heretofore he
has received merely a formal welcome,
"jut the public demand that formal
ceremonlrs attend the event will be
responded to and a regular programme
will be given. The King will be con
veyed to Portland by a fleet of motor
boats and there will be a ceremony In
the local harbor at the time of landing,
accompanied by the tooting of whis
tles, ringing of bells and shooting of
cannon. This will be followed by a
procession through the streets led by
the Scout Drum Corps from Astoria.

TWO-FARE TEST IS MADE
Court Considers Cnse of Man Who
I .eft Crowded Car for Trailer.
Right of a streetcar passenger to
change from an overcrowded car to a
more roomy trailer without paying a
second fare, was put to a test In the
Municipal Court yesterday In the case
of John OreenwsJU a conductor,
charged with assault and battery on
M. Barber.
The complainant boarded a Mount
Scott car some days ago and after he
had paid his fare, sought to transfer
to the trailer, which was less crowded.
Ureeowall demanded his fare, which
Barber refuse, saying he had paid on
the other car. The conductor held
that he had no evidence of the fact and
no authority to pass Barber. When the
passenger refused to pay his fare, he
seised him by the coat and ejected htm.
Attorneys fought the case vigorously
and Judge Taswell took his decision
under advisement.

PAVING BID LOWER
Hassam Company Finds Com
. petitor in Field.
SAME WORK IS SPECIFIED
Mayor Favor Letting Contract -for
Commercial, Street to New Con
cern, Which Is Composed
of Portland Men.
t'nderbld on Its own character of
paving by a newly-organized concern
with local capital, the Oregon Hassam
Paving Company finds Itself facing
strong competition, with an excellent
chance that Its competitor will secure
the first work It has ever bid on in the
hard-surface line. The consolidated
Contract Company, of which J. Harris
Johnson Is president and E. G. Titus,
secretary, both being Portlsnd men.
virtually have secured the contract for
paving Commercial street by bidding
II. 7S as against the bid of 1.S6 by the
parent company.
Mayor Simon yesterday investigated
the standing of the men In the com
pany and ascertained that they are
thoroughly reliable, financially and
otherwise, and that they have -placed
their first bid for Hassam In good faith.
He favors awarding them the contract
for Commercial street, as they are the
lowest bidders.
"I am strongly In favor of competi
tion In paving." said the Mayor yester
day, "and. after Investigation. I "find
that the men behind this new company
are In earnest and In good faith and
that they are anxious to proceed with
the work that may be awarded to them.
For that reason. I favor giving them
the contract for Commercial street, as
they are the lowest bidders. They have
assured me that they will be able to
lay the Hassam pavement, as tbey be
lieve they can reach an agreement with
the original Hassam Company on thla
point: but If they cannot, they aay
that they will light the claims of the
old company aa to the patent rights,
and believe they can win. I want all
of the competition possible and shall
favor giving the work, to the new com
pany." The Oregon Hassam Company - waa
organised here three years ago. with
local capital, and operated until late
last -year, - when- it was taken over
by the parent company, which operates
extensively In the East. The rate for
Hassam was arbitrarily fixed by Mayor
Simon at $1.75 a square yard when he
went Into office two years ago and
remains that today, with the exception
of some small pieces of work In the
suburbs, which were petitioned for by
the property owners despite the higher
rate bid. The Mayor has no Intention
of awarding any contracts in excess of
his own figures, and it Is probably be
cause of the fact that the new com
pany has underbid the old one that he
Is all the more pleased to award It tha
contract for Commercial street. The
old company has enough work to keep
It busy nearly all of this season on
contracts awarded before the parent
concern took charge, all at 11.76 a
yard.
STOCK SHIPMENTS GROW
April Receipt 18,814 In Excess of
Same Month of Year Ago.
i
OnntlnuM growth of the livestock
business at the Portland Union Stock
yards is shown by the record of re
ceipts In April. The total arrivals up
to last night were 26.178 head of
rattle, calves, sheep, hogs, horses and
mules. This Is an Increase of 12.114
head over the total receipts in the same
month last year. The receipts com
pare as follows:
1011.
Cattle

Fh.p 14.S"S
Horsaa and mules 2M
The gain was chiefly In sheep ar
rivals. The run of this stock was not
as liberal as in March, but showed a
gain of R007 head -over the number
received In April. 110.
The gradual lowering of prices from
the phenomenally high level of last
year Is still In progress In all branches
of the livestock trade.
