Portland led all other cities of the United States last year. ' "City farms" are an entire success. Rural contestants would be hard put to It to excel the city gardens either In quality of vegetables or work. , Lessons of usefulness learned in the gardens, wholesome work and friendly emulation constitute training as valua- ble as any given within school rooms. These were some of the conclusions reached yesterday by the garden Inspec tion "parade" that In eight automobiles - traveled more than 60 miles visiting the gardens made In connection with . 21 schools by 3600 boys and girls. ' Before the day had ended the Inspect- ora decided that tland is a very big city and that to attempt to cover It In a day even by the swiftest vehicles, re quires both nerve and organization. -Children Brows and Ruddy. ' At nearly every school, tanned and bright-eyed contestants clustered about the gardens anxious that no evidence of careful cultivation of any plant, whether cabbage or carrot, should escape the Judges. When L. R. Alderman, newly elected : superintendent of the Portland schools, . noticed the vigorous health of the gard eners and their Immense enthusiasm, he voiced as a policy of his admlnls 'tratton a belief he has had as state su perintendent of publlo instruction - "garden work should be a regular and accepted part of the course of study. 41 PUUUIU W wuw vaa aat iuio -, Superintendent Alderman made the statement at the luncheon served the Inspectors at Woodstock. Similar ex- ' pressions were made by M. O. Munly, school director. Assistant Superintend ents Grout and Rice and School Clerk , R. H. Thomas, this comprising the list of school officials that attended tne ex cursion yesterday. In winning first prise for the best ' "big garden," Woodlawn . repeated a success of last year, and thus is per ' mltted not only to retain the prize cup of last year, but is entitled to the cup offered this year for tns test scnooi garden by the O.-W. R,N, company. In Woodlawn garden were found not ' only an Immense variety t plants all . the vegetables, fibrous plants, cereals and most of the trees grown In the United States bnt a number of unique features introduced by the principal, T. J NewbllL Gardens All Vigorous. Glsncos had not only handsome gar- den plats but an artistic arrangement i of flowers together with a floral flag in which plants reproduced the red, white and blue strikingly. Principal I Stafford was highly complimented be 'cause of his work. Vegetable quality and neatness won for Rosa City Park third place, yet Rose City Park was closely crowded by Mount Tabor school, where Principal Miller has exerted a , leadership that is reflected both In the work standards and the character of the boys and girls who attend Mount . Tabor school. Another garden that won general approval was at Woodstock, ' where Principal Prideaux helped the .children make the best of every oppor gardens In the city. In strength of plant growth Ports mouth garden easily led all others in the city. The lettuce and turnips were , immense and perfect. Every feature of the garden was right Worked In flow. ' ers on a terrace were the words, "Ports. Senators Chamberlain and Lane on extreme ends with Margaret Methot and the Portland Ad club part in the center, photographed la front -, ' of the White' House. (Wiihlngton Burets ef STb Journal.) Washington, June 15. President Wil son was never more gracious than when he received the delegation of the Port land Ad club which had been in attend ance on the Baltimore convention, and was presented by "Little Rosebud" with a large bunch of roses. Little Rosebud looked very charming in her white lingerie frock and her rose covered hat As the president stooped to take the bouquet from her hand she said: "I want to tell you, Mr. President, that these .are not real Oregon roses " "But I suppose they are almost as nice," suggested the president "Almost yes, sir," replied the little maiden. "I suppose you miss your Oregon weather," aald the president to the party In general and there was a few mo ments' general conversation. . The affair waa what one might call a. great success. The guests were re ceived in the green room, hung with the portraits of former presidents, and the Oregonians had. to wait but a few mo menta before the president, with his customary punctuality, came in and Senator Lane presented everyone pres ent to him. After it was all over the president went back to his work and the rest went outside and were photo graphed in front of the big porch of the White House. mouth school." Much of the success of the garden is due to the leadership of Mrs. O. E. Christina who lives in the neighborhood. At the Falling school little Italian boys and girls had done most Of 'the work and Failing was a prize winner in the minds of the judges until Portsmouth was inspected. ' . The Judges were N. C.

Power, secretary Of the Ore gon Nursery company, Orenco, waa largely responsible for the success of the exhibit feature of the joint Amer ican and Paclflo Coast associations of nurserymen's convention which com pleted Its work yesterday morning. Mr. Power enlisted the aid of the Portland Floral society in aa effort to make the convention hall at fhe Multno mah hotel aa attractive as possible, and the delegates, particularly those from the east, voiced astonishment and ad miration at the extent and variety of the display of native flowers, plants and shrubs. It was said to be the finest floral display ever shown at the Amer lean association meetings In the past 88 years. ,. Those attending the convention, men and women, were daily supplied with fresh flowers, and the decorations were kept fresh and attractive. There was also an interesting and ex tensive exhibit of fruits from California and Oregon, and Mr. Power In reporting for the exhibit committee said that the plan had been "help yourself Instead of "hands off," as is usually the case. The' thanks of the convention were voted Mr' Power and others who assist ed In making the exhibit the success it was. Resolutions of appreciation were also extended U s who participated in the program. 095. The scenlo driveway will, be hard surfaced for a width of SO feet with Warrenite.

It waa brought out that the west side business district near the river la becoming congested and the members of the club believe that the commission men will .have to seek different loca tlons soon. In anticipation of thla re moval they have determined to do everything possible to persuade them to move to the east side. One of their strongest arguments is that the commission houses now lose thousands of dollars annually during the high water periods. Inasmuch as it will be hard to find another west side location, the East Side business men want them to move to. the eaat side, .preferably In Union avenue, be tween Eaat Burnslde street and Haw thorne avenue. The committee is now preparing lit erature to send all commission men. This will probably be followed by a luncheon, at which the project may be Informally discussed.

TOURIST SLEEPING CARS AND FIRST-CLASS COACHES At its last meeting the street com mittee of the city council yesterday recommended the passage of an ordi nance directing the city engineer to pre pare estimates of the cost of construct ing an elevated crossing over the O.-W. 8.4N, tracks at Sandy boulevard and East Thirty-seventh street. The im provement will be made under provis ions of a charter amendment adopted June 1. For many years there haa been a demand that the dangerous crossing be made safer for the traveling publlo, but until the recent charter amendment was added property ownera always mustered enough strength to defeat any Improvement attempted. The committee recommended that Broadway be extended from its present terminus to Sandy boulevard. The ex tension is needed, but Its cost will be such a heavy burden that many af fected property owners have remon strated. Remonstrances against the exten sions of Mill street and Maryland ave nue nac the errect of delaying action by ins commutes, wnicn referred both im provements to the future city admin istration. A number of street improvement con tracts amounting to more than $70,000 were recommended to the council for award. l ' - k , v - - III " t .v . i i - v ill . i it i.i ? i i i ; '. v ii m i ii An ... - i v rut o Money ur toWork .
