REASONS. FOR MOVE GIVEN
Rotter facilities for Spectators in
Downtown Buildings and In
creased Publicity Value of
Photographs Cited.
"With the announcement that the
children's parade will be held on the
West Instead of the East side of the
river this year, representatives of the
East Side Business Men's Club have
"written the Kose Festival Association
asking for a hearing on the subject.
Before it was decided to make a
change in the route of the opening
day pageant of the "Human Roses."
festival directors took many things
into consideration, and it was decided
that inasmuch as the festival was held
for the benefit of all Portland the
features should be staged, without
cost, such as admission charges, where
the greatest number of people could
witness the events.
.Since the opening day of the festival,
June 7, is not a public holiday, em
ployes of wholesale and retail estab
lishments, clerks in the big depart
'ment stores, and those employed in the
downtown office buildings had been
denied an opportunity to witness the
pageant. Festival directors say by
holding the parade on the West Side,
thousands of people will have an op
portunity to view the procession, many
who have never before seen this fea
ture of the June celebration.
Thousands of visitors from cities in
Oregon and Washington within a ra
dius of 300 miles of Portland, reach the
city on trains arriving the morning of
opening day, from 7 to 10 A. M. In
vestigations made recently by festival
directors brought forth the informa
tion that these visitors go to their ho
tels, and by the time they learn of the
location of the pageant it is over with.
Pictures Are Factor.
One of the principal reasons for the
annual Rose Festival is the valuable
publicity it brings to Portland as the
"Rose City" of the world. Photographs
of the children's parade are in great
demand, and festival governors have
made a collection of these photographs
to show just how Portland is adver
tised as a result of the distribution of
these pictures. In nearly every in
stance the buildings shown in the back
ground are one or two-story structures,
and people reading Eastern magazines
and newspapers will judge Portland as
a city from the nature of the surround
ings of the parade, say festival di
rectors. With the parade staged this year in
the business district, it is the idea that
the high buildings with their thousands
of offces. the rooms in a dozen big
hotels and many other buildings such
as the department stores will afford
thousands an opportunity to view the
parade. Photographs of this feature
will also carry street scenes in the
business section showing the modern
buildings, fine hotels, and exploit Port
land as the "City Beautiful."
School Heads Concur.
School authorities have advised the
board of governors that the parade can
ba handled to fine advantage on the
West Side, and the transportation of
the children to and from the starting
point of the parade can be taken care
of on the West Side as promptly as
on the East.
With the National dedication of the
Columbia River Highway coming on
opening day of the festival, and the
indications that Portland will enter
tain thousands of visitors from over
the United States, festival directors
have decided to stage the features of
the fiesta where the greatest number
can witness the events in comfort, and
for that reason the children's parade
has been moved to the West Side.
The question of moving the parade to
the West Side has been considered for
the last three years, and by inquiries
of people living on both sides of the
river, governors of the 1916 fiesta found
that the general sentiment was in favor
of the change and it was included in
the tentative programme announced
last Tuesday evening at the weekly
meeting of the festival board.

WORK IS BEING CLASSIFIED
Education, Prevention and Destruc
tion Means Proposed by Health
Bureau to Kid Municipality
of Great Pest.
The Fly campaign is on! It will be
a campaign, the policy of which, as
well as its motto will be: "A long
pull, a strong pull and a pull alto
gether." It will be a long campaign because
it has already commenced and will
continue indefinitely, at least until
Portland is as near a flyless city as it
can be made.
It will be a strong pull because
the plans for its promotion have been
well worked out, and method and sys
tem will be employed in its conduct as
well as enthusiasm.
It will be pull altogether for the rea
son that the strongest, best organized
and most efficient forces in the city
have been assembled in its interest and
are co-operating with the municipal
authorities in their endeavor to rid the
community of the fly pestwhich is not
oniy annoying out detrimental to
health.
The campaign will have three
branches at work education preven
tion and destruction. The first will be
promoted by the circulation of litera
ture which will teach the habits and
dangers of the fly, and give instruc
tion as to the best methods of elimina
tion. Double Result Dealred.
The preventive work will serve a
double purpose that of removing the
breeding places of the fly, and cleaning
up the city of insanitary places at the
same time.
, In this branch of the work it is grat
ifying to announce that the authori
ties are to have the active co-operation
of 50 Inspectors who traverse every
section of the city daily and who will
circulate tha literature put out by the
Health Bureau, and through a car4
furnished by the department, will noti
fy the office of any Insanitary condi
tions they may find. These places, in
turn, will be investigated by the city
force and taKen up officially.
Through the various Scout Masters,
the services of more than 500 Boy
Scouts have been tendered the Health
Bureau in its efforts to abolish the
breeding places of the fly. -These young
citizens, with tho advice of the supe
rior officers, will work out the prob
lems of a cleaner, healthier city by
the methods laid down in their code of
manliness, courtesy and good citizenship.
The destruction of the fly must of
necessity be largely one of individual
effort. No force can go into the pri
vate home to rid it of flies, or even to
the shop, and here, to make the cam
paign effective, must come the co-operation
of the public.
Traps Are Recommended.
To rid the house of flies there are
several time-honored methods, such as
sticky fly-paper, and poisons of vari
ous kinds all good and moderately ef
fective in their way, but the exhibit
last Summer was convincing proof that
traps were by far the most effective
and satisfactory. More flies were
caught than could have been got in
any other way, and they do away with
the disgusting spectacle of sticky fly
paper lying around, often to trap the
unwary visitor as well as the fly. No
less disgusting is the moist fly-paper
which adds the danger of poison flies
getting into the food or being picked
up by small children.
Cmall traps for household use may
be bought for 10 cents, and should be
generously used In every home. The
health bureau is endeavoring to have
large traps made at a much less ex
pense than those offered last Summer.
Manufacturers may have their traps
examined and approved by the health
bureau. Diagrams for making them
will bo furnished upon application.
A bit of decayed fruit, the yolk of an
egg in a little milk or a mixture of
molasses, meal and yeast make excel
lent bait.
Literature, information or advice on
the fly campaign will be furnished
upon application to the health bureau.

CITIZENS OF PORTLAND, MEN AND WOMEN :
This is a personal appeal to you.
The Young Men's Christian Association is engaged
in a friendly contest with our neighboring city, Seattle,
and its purpose is to secure memberships and subscrip
tions to the organization.
On its face the contest is merely an effort on the
part of each to outdo the other. But the real purpose is
to bring into the Y. M. C. A. a vast number of young men
and boys who need its helpful influence.
The problem of our city today is the detached youth,
the youth who is away from home and home influences,
or the youth who is greatly in need of the helpful daily
advantages which this institution offers for spiritual,
moral and physical betterments. It begins with the boy's
heart; it ends with his body. Its service through religious
and moral instruction, its educational classes, its gym
nasium and swimming pooL are such as to enlist the
moral and substantial aid of every resident of Portland.
During the week over 300 men have given valuable
time in the membership campaign. It has been faithful
and unselfish work. They have had a large measure of
support. We are, however, falling down in numbers as
compared with Seattle and as compared with the total of
last year.
One more day (Monday) remains of this contest. At
9 o'clock tomorrow night the records will close.
Won't you, who read this appeal, secure a number of
subscriptions or memberships and bring them to the Y. M.
C. A. headquarters before the closing hour Monday night?
The purpose is worthy, the end is worthy and what
ever you do will redound to your betterment as well as of
the city we love.
