A TUTS SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, DECEMBER 3. 1911. 1.11. FROM TRIP Portland Merchant and Wife Are Greete dWith Home coming After Sojourn. TOUR LASTS 50 WEEKS riraMnt Journey to Old World and Foreign Capitals Described. odT- Roads Landed Ball Ran Water Missed. Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Llpman returned last night from a trip to Kurope and axe again at their borne at III Warns street, where they were greeted by members of their families and friends with a home-coming party. Their trip occupied a year lacking two weeks. "Railing from New York on ths farmanla, our first stop was made at Gibraltar." said Mr. Llpman. "and then In succession we visited Algiers. Vlelle, France, Naples and from Cairo took a trip up the Nile. I had no deilnlte plans of travel and stopped at every point as Ions; as we found It pleasura ble. Athens appealed to me as the original center of art and culture and we have yet to learn from that city as the best we bar today originated there. -Several months were devoted to the Mediterranean and Adriatic cities. Then we went to Paris and London and back act In to the Continent. Later we visited the principal cities of Oerraany. Aastrta-Hnngary. Holland and Belgium, having, of course, to return to Paris and London. Flaw Reeida ST . "Everywhere I was particularly Im pressed with the rood roada and never before did I appreciate what an asset they are for a country. In every European country a farmer can readily drive miles to the cities to sell his products direct and return wltb bis purchases, being1 Independent of ail transportation companies. -American workmen may be better paid la tbla country than any other, but there the comfort of workmen and that of their families la considered of para mount Importance. In every city and town there are playgrounds for the children and their parents have beauti ful parka In which excellent muslo Is played In the evenings and holidays for their enjoyment. This attention to their amusement and entertainment large compensates for the lower wages, as It keeps them entertained and happy with their surroundings. Oregwa Apple Seen Abroad. "X found tbat Hood River applea are known the world over, but where Hood River la could be described by few except as a place In America and similar hasy Ideaa are held of the gen eral location Of places In this country. All American manufactured articles' are taken kindly too. especially our shoes, and the sale ef our products abroad 1s Increasing very rapidly. -There waa one thing that I could not forget, aa It was brought to my attention daily. It was Bull Run water. I really believe that If one of the European cities bad such a supply of It as we have it would become world-f.roou. and people would travel from this country to drink It."

GAZE ON FESTIVAL Pathe Freres, Great Film Man ufacturers, Want Views. FIRM ASKS ABOUT FETE President Ilort UnabI to Give Defi nite Answer Owing to Uncertainty Regarding Celebration Duo to Lack of Funds. Gratifying recognition of the fact that the Rose Festival Portland's distinctive annual fete of flowers has become an event of great National Im portance was received by the manage ment yesterday. It came In the form of a letter of Inquiry from Fathe Freres, one of the world's leading moving-picture concerns, addressed to Melvln O. Wlnstock. general manager of the People'a Amusement Company, and is signed by K. W. Linn. American manager for the; house. The letter, after acknowledging the high position the Festival has taken among-the carnivals and celebrations of the country, requests that arYange ment, be made for the taking of views of the leading eventa of the week for use In connection with the "Pathe Weekly," a film production which hows the "hlgh-llghta" of world events In all the prominent cities of the civilized world.

The communication was turned over to Ralph W. Hoyt. president ot the Festival, and he was at once im pressed with the enormous amount of publicity such an arrangement would mean for Fortland. The "Pathe Weekly" deals only with the most Important current events. To have place on this mm the subject treated must be recog nized as being of "universal Interest. Fans TJacertala Yet. -We are extremely sorry that we can't close up this proposal Immediate ly," eald. Mr. Hoyt. after conferring with Mr. Wlnstock. "but as I said in The Oregonlan a couple of days ago, our finances are In such shape that we cannot positively close any business de tails definitely. This plan Is without question one of the most valuable means of advertising our city that we could have access to. We couldn't buy iuch publicity for any amount of money because the topics handled In this moving-picture display must stand ab solutely on their merits, from the standpoint of news, value. "It. most assuredly. Is a great tribute to the Rose Festival to receive such a gratuitous offer to advertise what our celebration la like all over the known world, but. unfortunately, our subscriptions do not and cannot war rant us In making the arrangements for auch display until we know Just what funds we shall have at our dis posal. I fear that we shall have to decline the generous offer with deep regret, for Mr. Wlnstock assures me that the Pathe people must know In the coarse of the next week or two what we are going to do about our next celebration. "Numerous other offer and proposals for advertising the Rose Festival on an International scale have been re ceived by th management In the last few weeks, but they have all been pigeon-holed."

This Impression was gained from a mtsreadlng of a com munication sent by Mr. Herdman to the members of the School Board. His recommendation waa that a humidifier be Installed in the building to increase the moisture In the air. which is re duced because the air passes over the furnaces in entering the building. The air contains a sufficient amount of oxygen and the air that has been breathed is properly disposed of. Mr. Herdman' declares.
