ROSE FESTIVAL
PUT Oil SLIDES
A scheme of advertising tha prom
ises to be remarkably successful In
bringing people to Portland during the
next festival has Just been adopted by
the Rose Festival association. Ar
rangements have been made with Mr.
Stevens of the moving picture manufac
turing company in the Russel block to
make and send eut all over the coun
try complete sets of lantern slides de
picturing the Rose Festival of 1908. A
large number of the slides have al
ready been manufactured, and they are
said to be remarkably good. .This set
will be shown in moving picture houses
all over the United States, and the as
sociation Is confident that this echlbl
tion of beautifully colored slide will
have the effect of greatly Increasing
the number of people who will come to
Portland next June.
It's Different in America.
