rortland'a school garden record of
last year has been exceeded this year
by at least 10.00 per cent. 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.

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

In strength of plant growth Ports

the city. The lettuce and turnips were
, immense and perfect. Every feature of
the garden was right Worked In flow.

(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.

the garden is due to the leadership of
Mrs. O. E. Christina who lives in the

FINE FLORAL EXHIBIT
Frank W. 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.

EAST IDE AFTER
1,1511 HOUSES
At a meeting of the East Side Busi
ness Men's club Thursday night a reso
lution waa adopted authorising the civic
committee of the club to begin agita
tion to bring Front street commission
houses to the east side of the river.
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.

within it a tiny music box that plays

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.
