Streetcar traffic In Portland during
the Rose Festival week Just closed
smashed all records. Exclusive of those
who managed to elude the alert fare
collector, the conductors , of the Port
land Railway, Light As Power company
ran it tip 1,608,400 passengers j from
Monday morning till the close of ixaf
fic Friday evening. .'
This enormous number exceeds the
record roiled up during the correspond
ing period of the festival of 1909 by
more than 200,000, for the flva days of
that week the total number pf fares,
transfers and passes checked up reach
ing the total of 1,406,225. A
Auditor Aghepherd, of the streetcar
company prepared a comparative table
yesterday showing the .traffic to have

To handle . the . enormous . trafflo of
Thursday, the banner ; day, required
every car available, and the company
had 410 in service during the rush
hours. This Included every car .from
the largest pay-as-you-enter , to the
frailest open trailer.
The company did everything within
Its power to take care of the traffic,
yet this was impassible when the tide
was at Its height after the parade, or
Thursday's record-smashing total would
have been still greater. People living
within walking distance preferred Walk
ing to crowding Into the overflowing
cars, which were moving In an almost
unbroken string over the rails in the
downtown districts.
Ho Serious Accidents.
A remarkable feature was the fact
that no accidents of serious nature oc
curred that could be attributed to the
unusually heavy traffic.
East Side cars were sent across the
bridges In such rapid succession that
they could almost' have been coupled
together. ' A T' ' V ' "
The railroads, too, report a very
heavy trafflo from all points in the
northwests and also from California
and southern Oregon. Large numbers
of people came from points east, of the
Rockies ostensibly to -participate In the
feast of roses. The puget sound cities
and Spokane sent large delegations, who
entered Into the spirit of the occasion
with as much enthusiasm as the home
people.
Boats from all directions brought
banner crowds, and the lnterurban cars
were crowded every evening with peo
ple who came to take In the parades.

W. P. Olds, Olds, Wortman St King.
The Rose Festival of 1910 - Increased
Portland's ,. prestige. It gave returns
direct and indirect. It caused the mes
sage that Portland is a great city grow
ing greater to be flashed around the
earth. . '-'.r. A;;-..- -.. v. ;iS
E. L. Thompson, Hartman ft Thomp
son, bankers The Rose "Festival opens
up the avenues of travel, makes all
roads lead to Portland, brings the peo
ple together. Is good for. the city and
state and ought to be supported doubly
next year. If I could add emphasis by
any expression to my belief In the Rose
Festival I would
Ben Selling What ' is good for the
city Is good for the state. The cost of
the festival Is small compared witli its
advantages. It has been a tremendous
and gratifying success.
A. I Mills, president First National
bank The Rose Festival Is the best ad
vertising ever attempted by Portland. It
benefits retail business interests direct
ly; benefits banks and wholesale inter
ests indirectly. It does us all good. The
Rose Festival has become such, a nation
al feature that it. would now almost
perpetuate itself. .,. , a.

1 George AW. Bates," president George
W.. Bates & Co., bankers From a busi
ness standpoint the Rose Festival was
an overwhelming success. ' It brought
many people to Portland who are able
to put money in Oregon Investment op
portunities. I happen to know that

made investments. The benefit is not
only direct, but Indirect. The more Rose
Festival Portland has, the better for
Portland and Portland's people.
M. C. Dickinson, manager Oregon

success and brought more people to
Portland and did more...gp.od.ln...every
way (inan . any otner single event mat
ever ' came to- pass in this city. ! We
should spend double the money for- the
festival next year, and we will get more
than double the returns.,
George T. Atchley, president East
Side Business Men's club, Morgan-Atch-ley
company Every succeeding year
should add to our faith in the Rose
Festival. It is the greatest advertis
ing Portland could have,, and the: best
It makes Portland known as on of the
fiesta centers of the world. ;
- Leave UOnsy Here.
Publicity for Portland . brings new
people ready for investment. They
leave their money'here and the people
benefit aeeordingly. The festival meant
much this year W the east side and we
are especially delighted with the chil
dren's parade. We appreciate very cor
dially the effort, made by those who
had that parade ,ln charge. It was
a oeautiful spectacle. On the west side
the people crowded out towards the
paraders and police were kept busy
forcing them back. But when the child
ren came by the people stood on the
Curb. Their love and reverence for the
children kept them back more effec
tively' than any policeman's mace.
: George Dilworth, prominent east side
business man The festival was a great
success. ' T believe that next year when
the time of the Rose Festival comes
every public spirited business man in
Portland should make it the biggest
thing he has to do to make the festival
eclipse anything that has 1 ever gone
toeforer
Louis G. Clarke, Woodard, Clarke &
Co. What the Rose Festival has meant
to Portland this year It will mean next
ryear, and more. Not only that, but It
will mean much to tvery part pf the
state. Next year will witness greater
development and the festival will Invite
more people to attend, and more money
will "be invested as a ' result. It was
and is a crowning success. .Its influ
ence Is more than a day. .

more than Justified by its returns. ; Our
business was much better than the
same seasons of' previous years. I
expect to -see greater . returns another
year, and I hope that as the Rose Fes
tival is continued every year, so it will
grow and become greater and more sig

Rose Festival was a very direct benefit
to us in the way of Increased business.

our business. We are delighted with its
