The formal ending of tba Festival came with the passing of tha King, who appeared on hla Illuminated throne In the electrical parade minus beard and fcoary locks, thus disclosing the features of W.

MANYPHDTDSTAKEN Rose Festival Snapped Every Possible Way. in MOVING PICTURES SECURED Professional and Amateur Photog raphers Busy at Ail Times and Nothing Escaped From Them. Developing Firms Swamped. Rose Festival week produced a rich harvest for the amateur as well as the professional photographer. Thousands of cameras were in use every day of tio big celebration and great volumes of pictures were taken. Every feature of the parades ml napped from every possible angle and every Individual, concerned with th festivities, waa photographed in many and varying poses. Most active of all the camera men were those on the staffs of the various newspapers. They were on duty every day of the week and almost every hour of the day. Frequently it was required that they work at night. As a result many remarkable pictures were ob tained and the movements of Rex Oro gonus. as well as every other phase of th festival, have been reproduced for newspaper reader in accurate and real istic style. Scores of professional photographers were engaged in the work of telling the story of the festival in picture. Many of these made a practice of taking pic ture of Individuals or groups of in dividuals in the parades and then se curing orders for the finished work. In variably they did a lively business, as everyone is eager to hav a souvenir of the festival especially a personal souvenir. Others employed their time merely in taking pictures that they will make efforts to sell to the general public , . Photographer of tha various postal card concerns also were busy. They have obtained a complete new set of Rose Festival pictures and these will do much to advertise Portland. A moving-picture concern had a Btaff of men here all week. They photo- 'mm.. ML fi! HI FIFTH AND STARK graphed every desirable feature of the carnival, from 'the time Rex Oregonus entered the royal barge down the river on Monday until he departed "in a blaze of glory" last night. Although they obtained about 10,000 yards of films, only about 000 will be used. In pre paring these pictures they pick out only the best features and the parts necessary to convey to the public mind the whole story of the greatest civlo festival In history. But the busiest camera men were the amateurs. They were on hand every minute. Not only did they picture the King, but they snapped numerous of his subjects in typical Rose Festival attitudes. Space did not permit the kodak flends to secure ample play on the king when be entered the city on Monday, as many had not yet caught the sig nificance of his visit. But when he passed through the city at the head of the automobile parade on Wednesday a battery of a score of cameras was leveled at him at every point where picture could be taken to advantage. Many of the more attractive floats in the big parades were also the objects of repeated snapshots. The prize win ner shared this distinction with the less attractive features and in this respect honors were even until after the judges' decision was announced. Women Photographers Are Busy. Women were prominent among the picture takers and some of them dis played quite as much skill and daring In attempting to obtain desirable views as did their male brethren. Several times, in order to secure a particular picture, women would brave danger. Police had difficulty in repeated in stances in keeping a man or a woman with a camera from being run over. Th trouble in many case's" was that their attention to their sport detracted from that of their personal safety and in the crowded streets accidents could not easily be avoided. Concerns engaged in developing films for amateurs are swamped with business. No previous event in Port land's history has produced for them such a rush of work. In normal times it Is possible to take an exposed film into a store and have it developed in a day. but now the picture finishers give no promises at all as to the fu ture. Maybe it will be two days, maybe it will be three, days and maybe a week before they can fill their Rose Festival orders. ' LATER DATE SUGGESTED PORTLAND TALKING OF ROSK SHOW NEXT YEAR. Before Present Festivity Ends, Plan Are Being Outlined for An other Week of June 11. Although no definite arrangements have been made tor holding the sixth annual Rose Festival, it already has been popularly determined that it shall take place In the week beginning June 11, 1913. This will give the roses six additional days to mature and no doubt will re sult In a greatly increased supply of blossoms available for decorative and ornamental purposes. It has been the custom, to hold the Festival in the second week of June and with the beginning of the week coming on a later data each year this has brought the event pretty well toward the first of the month. As a result, it is admitted that not as many blossoms as desired were obtainable this year, but there was a sufficient supply for all decorative and display purposes. Toward the last of the week there was quite enough. Since the Elks are determined to get tha grand lodge convention next year It has been suggested that -the lodge session be combined with the Rose Festival. It is not known, however, whether such arrangement would be mutually agreeable. As an advertise ment and a benefit for Portland It Is likely that this would be most suc cessful. It is probable that members of both organizations will give it serious consideration.. Provision for the 1912 Festival will be made at the annual meeting of the Portland Rose Festival Association in September. Talking tables.' and all other types of talking machines.
