Karly in Juns the rhododendrons of the Oregon cosst are in their greatest bf-auty and ths Coos bay cities, apprs- ,. cutting what an opportunity tuey oner ,. to attract attention to the coast coun '" try. have arranged to load an entire ysteamer with a gorgeous cafgo'of rho ' dodendron blossoms.

Tha KJnaajima will ft lta.it nw the Coos bay i cities in decorating their - floats, and what Is left over will be turned Into the general flower depart ' ment of the festival. Hood River's float promises to be one of the handsomest individual pieces in the parade. It ls"T3be an allegorical creation, typifying the wealth and ex tent of Hood River s orchards, xnere Is to be a huge cornucopia, the Horn of Plenty, resting on a Hood River 1 apple, eight feet In diameter. There are to be other apples on the float and bunches of strawberries, each berry to be three feet In diameter, with every thing else on the float in proportion. The actual cost of the float itself will be $600 and the trappings and decora tions, with the hire of the horses, will bring the total cost up to $1,000. At present the total number of cities : that have agreed to send floats for the fiaradea Is SO, and more are correepond ng with the Festival association. GIVE BANK BOOKS FOR CERTIFICATES .

THEMIST0RY OF CONCRETC cannot be written. It antedates history: The Pyramids of Egypt were built of concrete. Their durability is apparent. The roads of the Roman Empire were un derlaid with Concrete. They are still in use. During the exfc istence of man upon this globe, no more lasting construction material has been made than Concrete. For years it was numbered among the lost arts. During that time geologists and antiquarians searched in vain for the method and materials used in building the pyramids. In recent years, it has been as certained that Concrete was the material and the methods are easily explained upon that basis. Its substantiality ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEES the material. It would follow, therefore, that inasmuch as the efficiency of Concrete is granted, its manufacture, during these days of unprecedented demand, must be one of the most profit able enterprises in which man and money can engage. In the same proportion that ancient construction guarantees the re liability of the material, the pres ent day realization of that fact, coupled with a tremendous de mand for the product which is nowhere near supplied, certainly would logically make the in vestment as certain and profit able as any investment could be. It is with extreme conservatism, therefore, and a strict regard for thefee who are interested that we are assured of the SAFETY of THE INVESTMENT If you will take the time, we will have the pleasure of telling you all about our plant at Sell wood; how we are working overtime to catch up with orders now in hand; how we are handi capped by lack of machinery; our plan to enlarge by the sale of a little stock; how quickly you will1 receive returns for your money and how much honest profit there is in the manufacture of Con crete material of every kind. This is an indus trial enterprise such as will make for the great good of Portland and its people. If you cannot call at our office, fill out and mail the attached coupon. We will tell you how $50 or more may be set to work for you. COUPOIN Gentlemen: I am Interested in your proposition and will be pleased to read your booklet entitled CONCRETE FACTS.
