the city. He will return in the
Fall to spend the Winter. He
says the Winters at Newport are
more pleasant than the Sum
mers. The city te built on a
promantory with the bay on one
side and the ocean on the other.
The drainage is good and the
city is the cleanest of any on the
Coast. The soil is sandy and
the rain fall is either absorbs or
evaporates. The beaches are
clean from drift and decaying
vegetation that makes so many
of the seaside resorts bo dis
agreeable. The heavy, damp
fog that hangs over the Willam
ette valley in the Fall of the year
six to eight weeks is not known
here. During the time the Val
ley has the fog we have bright
sunshine. Newport has her le
gends and romances, which if
written would make good read

house, and the legend of Jump-Off-Joe.
You can breathe the
ozone of the salt air and take in
elixir of life ten or fifteen years
longer than you would other
places. Since the city has gone
dry many other reforms are go

Arnold Henderson, of Sioux City, Iowa, are the
lyrics for the 1915 Rose Festival song. Copies of
the song will be Bent to glee clubs, orchestras,
bands and singing societies throughout the state:
. Out West the purpling bate lies close v
Over wondrous snow-clad peaks.
Out West the gleaming waterfall
In dazzling brilliance leaps.
Out West the sweet, pine-scented breeze
From the fragrant forest blows.
Out West there's a wealth o glorious blooni,
Out West is the Portlaii'l Rone.
Chorus:
The Whole world knows the Portland Rose!
Its queenly air, Its beauty rar '
Within the hearts which all enahrlua
No other rose is half so fair.
Its tint the glint of sunrise shows!
Its soft blush glows!. It gaily throws
Its fragrance to the passing breeze.
The whole world knows the Portlard Rose!
Out West there is wealth for all who come
With a brave, undaunted will..
The orchards yield their perfect fruit,
The streams run many a mill.
There's precious hidden ore to mine,
Golden grain luxuriant grows,
There's wealth In the herds of peaceful sine,
niture to Philomath last week.

There's wealth in the Portland Rose. (Clio.)
Out West the men and women stand
Side by side for all that's fair.
They bravely fight for civic right.
The hardest task they dare.
Theyj5reet you with their outstretched hands,
With the spirit the West bestows,
Their hearts are as pure, and sweet, and good,
As the heart of the Portland Rose. (Cho.)
