HUGE SUM TO BE SPENT ON NEXT YEAR'S FIESTA Carnival Committee Expects to Raise lietwoni $100,000 and $150,000 to Carry Out Plans for Most Elab- " ' orate Demonstration of Kind Ever Held. ' " From this time forth there Is to be titf' lagging In connection with earnest effort on the part of every person con--; rected with Portland's rose festival 1 which will be held next year during the week beglnlng June 2. The motto of the committees In charge will be "Man nltude and Magnificence." Such Is the ' ' declaration of the waya and mnni com y' mlttee. It waa unanimously agreed at a recent meeting of that committee that between 1100.000 and $160,000 must be , raised to carry out the elaborate srhemo 1 outflned for the big gala week. : It la the consensus of opinion by all . Interested that merchants In general throughout Portland felt the Impetus . of trade aa a result of the recent car nival. From an advertising standpoint - It is admitted that nothing In recent jrears hag benefited Portland so muoh. " Whllo none will deny that the recent fiesta demonstration was a big success ' the committee In determined that next year's festival must be bigger, better and by far the greateat similar deroon '"Ssstratlon the Rose Cltjr has ever at ... tempted. Will XsIm Immense Sam. With this end In view, the ways and mcann committee Is just now huslly en- gngt'd In selecting tireless and capable workers to nils a sum not len than 1 1 i ii. ono and If nonslble IlKO.noo. Each member of the ways and means commlt ! Is tn have personal supervision of the gutherlng of funds among a cer- tnln rliiss of merthuiits. professional men. industrial and financial classes. All sub-committees will be under the general aupervlMlnn of the ways and means committee and it Is hopod to have every committee appointed at the next meeting or the general committee wlilh will be Held at festival headquar ters in the 8we(liind building, Wednes day night of tb.ls week. The festival management hopes that every man whose name la mentioned In connection with any committee will he come an active member at once. It will he the aim to appoint only such Indi viduals as aided in raising money for the Y. M. C. A. and T. W. C. A. It Is flguiwrf -out that men who can ratse a IS60.000 building fund have the rlht kind of material to secure funds which mean so much to Portland from an ad vertising standpplnt restlvsj Will Be Great Benefit The campaign aa planned will be a hustling one and It is hoped to raise the necessary funds within one month. If plans can be completed canvassers will be startsd out within ths week and their duties, of course, will be simply to J ecu re pledges. By November x, the ways and means committee hops to permit the festival association to an nounce to the oublic that all necessary funds have been pledged. One of the strongest arguments In raising funds is Illustrated by the great benefit some years ago an Elks' carni val did Portland. Net results of that demonstration added more than $1,000, 000 deposits In local banks. It is con servatively estimated that many times that amount will be added to bank de posits next year after the celebration And besides, tourist travel la four or five times greater now than then and the city has fully twice as many lnhab uanta. All this of course has to do only with tne practical and financial pnases or th demonstration. Its aesthetic side will be so elaborate that to outline it here would be but to give it column after column of space each Issue. What the next rose festival need from now on Is the united "boosting" o Portland's 226,000 Inhabitants and there is little need to add that the city will surely give it. , EUGENE'S NEW STKEETCAB& Meeting of Cotton Seed Men.

Wo Xsoord of Extension. The above statement was made this morning by Herman Wittenberg, one of the directors of the United Railways company, which acquired the franchise granted the Oregon Traction company, now in the balance.

It was generally understood that the United Railways franchise, along with the market block franchise, was to be taken up at the meeting of the Joint street and Judiciary committee last Fri day.

Senator Clark made his millions by having the courage to investigate. Today he is accumulating capital by bringing his money constantly in touch with "OPPOR TUNITY." Knowledge of mining is not essential for the mak ing of a successful mining investment. Thousands of persons have made fortunes in mining stoock investments that have never seen a mine. Mining is about the only chance that the poor man has to make him independent. Opportunities grasped lead to fortune. Opportunities neglected leave a person in poverty and obscurity.
