TWO or Portland's hiutian rosebuds
will exploit the coming- Rose Fes
tival when they leave Portland to
morrow to travel alone to Savannah,
Ga.
The two little gins, wro have ex
pressed a desire to carry the message
of the Portland rose across the conti
nent, are Grace and Orajane Cordson,
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cord
eon, of the . Wellesley Court Apart
ments. Since they will spend the Summer at
Savannah with their grandparents, the
little girls will not be here to take
part in the children's parade opening
iay of the Festival. June 7, and both
wanted to have a part in the show, so
they will tell of the beauties of the
annual fiesta and exploit the slogan,
For You a Rose In Portland Grows,"
to fellow passengers on the trip to
Savannah, and to friends in the Georgia
city.
Grace, 10 years of age, will pilot her
sister, Orajane, 9, on the long- trip. The
Rose Festival publicity department,
hearing of the journey the two little
girls will make alone, called on Mrs.
Cordson and asked her permission to
let the children wear Rose Festival
sport caps and arm bands.
On both the bands and caps appear
the slogan and Festival dates and the
girls have promised to talk Rose Festi
val and Portland roses to everyone
they meet on the journey. They will
be met at Chicago by friends of Mr.
Cordson, who will see that they are
transferred to the proper train to con
tinue their journey to Savannah. The
girls have traveled alone often and
have no fears in starting out on the
journey to the South.
CAMPUS DAY ARRANGED
ItEED STCDKNTS WILL, CLE AX IP
COLLEGE GROUNDS APRIL 5.
Vorklnjf Crew and -'lleadera Have
Tasks Assigned Co-eds Will II rip,
and Also Serve SleaL
Every 6tudent of Reed College will
lay aside his or her college work on
April 5 and devote the day to hard
manual labor, for it is & tradition of
the college that every year one day
should be set aside for the beautifica
tion of the caxnpus and its environs.
On Campus day every student will
lave a particular task to do under the
Fupervision of a committee chairman.
The work has been so divided that the
whole Caxnpus day may be benefited, in
appearance, and usefulness.
Crystal Springs Lake, on the lower
dge of the campus, will be cleared of
derelict logs and all of its submerged
stumps will be charted and marked by
buoys so that canoes will no longer
have the unwelcome surprise of seeing
an ugly black snag poke its way
through the bottom of his craft, ac
companied by a. gush of water.
The canoe bonse at the lake will also
be repaired and a permanent well
graded path from the campus will be
built. Archibald. Clark will be chair
man of the lake committee and will
be assisted by a company of men and
Bristol will have charge of
e. committee oaf huskies who will drag
the remaining loss from the swimming
pool, repair the rustic bridge and mend
the dam. With the aid of a block and
tackle they hope to manage some of
the great logs which proved too much
for last year's Campus-day workers.
Under the guidance of Dean Webster,
the paths of the campus will be re
paired. Calvin Hlrsh will superintend
the renovating of the tennis courts and
their surroundings. Alvin Shagren and
a crew of young athletes will put the
baseball diamond into condition and
clean up th-e athletic field.
Some committees will have such
esthetic ftuties as the planting of
flowers, the beautif ication of the lawn
and the preparation of the viands for
a big bancruet for the hungry workers
at the noon hour. These delicate du
ties will necessarily be intrusted to the
co-eds.
All the students will be expected to
dress for the occasion, and working
ciotnes win be the only costume tol
erated from chapel in the morning until
the day ends with the special entertain
ment, which is being planned by Bess
Haverly and a secret band of enter
tainers. Campus day has always improved the
looks of the campus and its surround
ings Immensely, and Professor H. B.
Hastings has estimated that the work
d5ne on these occasions has been worth
more than J250 to the college.

J. K. BANGS TO LECTURE
HUMORIST W1L.1. SPEAK AT LIN"
COLS HIGH SCHOOL TUESDAY.
"We, Vm & Co." Will Be Subject of
Entertainment to Be Given Under
Education Body' Auspice..
John Kendriclc Bangs will deliver
his lecture, "We, Us & Co.," Tuesday
evening-. March 28, at Lincoln High
School auditorium at 8 o'clock. The ap
pearance of the noted humorist in
Portland on this occasion is under the
auspices of the Portland Education As
sociation and the lecture is for the
benefit of the Vista House memorial
fund. x
"We, Us & Co.," is a new lecture con
cocted by Mr. Bangs and is said to ex
cel in entertainment his now famous
"Salubrities I Have Met." Mr. Bangs
is a Yankee and a graduate of Colum
bia College in 1883. His father was
an eminent member of the New York
Bar Association and his grandfather
was at one time president of Wesleyan
College, in Middletown. Conn. The last
decade has brought unusual distinction
to him on the lecture platform and in
the literary field. He has lectured be
fore more than 500 audiences and in
every state in the Union. He has held
responsible editorial positions, among
which were editor of Life, humor
editor of Harpers, editor of Literature
and editor of the Metropolitan Maga
zine. Hehas taken a dip into politics,
but, above all, he has hobnobbed with
the most prominent characters of the
Nation. His lectures are intimate in
sights into their lives and he chronicles
in a humorous way the idiosyncrasies
of these men and women he has met
in his literary pursuits.

GRESHAM, Or.. March 25. (Spe
cial.) If the City Council adopts the
suggestion of the residents living on
South Roberts avenue it will be re
christened Chestnut avenue and the
residents will plant chestnut trees on
both sides of the thoroughfare, alter
nating red and white, then when the
road is made the leading way to Mount
Hood by the county it is the intention
of the property owners to request the
county to follow the same scheme.

COUCH SCHOOL has already made
plans for the expenditure of the
$25 that school was awarded by
the Chamber of Commerce in the letter-writing
contest. . A part of it will
purchase a curtain for the stage of
the .auditorium. Kive dollars will be
given the. yifita, House fund, and .the
rest will be expended for library books.
Wednesday saw an interesting ex
hibit of replies to the letters sent by
the pupils of the school. A large part
of a wall was covered with letters,
and on a chart board hung the pictures
of Oregon scenery, given to little Miss
Marie Uoodwla by. .the P.-w- & V
for her excellent letter to the Boston
Transcript that replied with an edi
torial on Portland. The display in
cluded letters from most of the men
who are prominent political figures,
from Cabinet officers. Governors and
many others.
In the display was an encouraging
letter from Governor J, Kindel, of Colo
rado, directed to Master Jason McCune.
The letter reads:
"Dear Friend Jason: I was very much
pleased to receive your nice letter, and
in answer to you kind invitation or ex
hortation, "Why not spend your vaca
tion in Oregon this Summer?" will
say that I appreciate every word and
argument that you have advanced, and
I am sorely tempted, if at all possible,
to pay you a visit next June. Having
visited Portland years ago, I know
that the roses in Portland are more
fragrant and beautiful than anywhere
I have ever been. I am in receipt of
the information about the Columbia
Highway being dedicated. Having re
cently purchased a car, I will prepare
to lay out a route to reach your famous
city when she is in dress parade. Bar
ring accidents, I shall anticipate a
glorious trip and look forward with
pleasure to seeing you and nry Buckeye
friends, your parents. Thanking you
for your kind reminder and invitation,
I am yours hopefully.
"GOV. J. KINDEL."
Buffalo Merchant Accepts.
Another letter that is an acceptance
came to. Shirley Baron from M. Wile,
a merchant of Buffalo, I. Y. He will
come to Portland between June 7 and
9. A letter to little Miss Mary Corbett
comes from Herbert W. Congdon, a
Columbia University man, of the class
of '97, who styles himself a "New York
Bachelor," and admires Western spirit.
He says in part: "We have a lot of
things, but we have not the fine public
spirit and the willingness to do some
thing new that you have. You have
taken from us some of the best of our
best people and have made them into
Oregonians. They are hard to spare,
and we have to replace them with for
eigners. "Foreigners are all right, but It takes
a long time to make Americans of
them, and sometimes I fear there will
be so many that, instead of our mak
ing them over, they will make us over.
Though I cannot come to visit Portland
yet, I will do It some day."
Teachers Get Replies.
Perhaps the children of the Couch
School would not have been as aggres
sive in their letter campaign had not
the crdent support of their instructors
been given them. Even the teachers of
that school Joined in the spirited con
test and set the example. Every one
of the teachers wrote letters. On the
display board hung a letter received
by one of the teachers from a friend
who had passed the good news of the
"City of Roses" on to a Japanese
friend,, who responded in his own lan
guage. The Chicago Tribune devoted several
hundred words to a story of Portland's
letter-writing contest, and pictures of
scenes taken . during Letter-Writing
week were printed.
A great many of the Couch School
pupils wrote to people in the East,
telling of the merits of Portland as
a city of homes and of the splendid
farming facilities of Oregon. To these
came replies of fathers of families who
as homeseekers promised to consider
Portland when they made their new
homes. Visitors at the school Wednes
day read many of the letters.
CLEAN MANHOOD DEMANDED
Father's Speech Applauded at Hy
glenc Meeting in Troutdale.
