His big I wards, ranging from B to $12.50 in gas bsg had barely touched ground when he was seized by Russian police and soldiers as a military spy and held In. prison five days. It was only through the most strenuous represen tations of the United States ambassa dor to Russia that he was finally re leased ' Honeywell has some ITS trips to his credit and has won prizes in races at Stuttgart, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Peoria and Springfield, 111. He builds his own racing balloons and manufactures his own outfit. Captain John Watts is a pilot for the Kansas City Aero club, The captain has made some 137 trips and is considered one of the best pilots in America today. He has won cups and trophies in all parts of the country He will fly the "Kansas City III" In the local race, a 40.000 cubic foot bag. This is only half as' large as the "Uncle Sam," and this difference in size may prove a handicap, but Watta Is conceded to be master of the bai loonlng game, and a good showing Is expected of him Roy Donaldson comes to Portland as representative of the Springfield Aero club. He will fly an 80,000 cublo foot capacity balloon. Donaldson is the youngest of the four .entrants, but has lots of nerve and has about 65 ' trips to Ms credit, most of them made In the middle west. Joseph M. Rieg, local representative of the American Show Print company, has full charge of the balloon events an manaaer of aeronautics for the Rosa Festival association. Mr. R1eg has Issued a call for local men desiring to serve as aides to the pilots at the forthcoming race. An aide Is supposed to watch the balloon while the pilot sleeps, watenmg, now ever, when the gas bags are sailing along anywhere from a mile to five miles above the ground. All that Is tequlred of an aide la that he have plenty of nerve, uttie weignt ana a sound heart so as to be able to stand the rarlfled air of the higher altitudes. The pilots themselves will pick their aides from th list of available candi dates after they reach Portland A novel feature of Thursday's race will be the use of homing pigeons , to bear back -messages from the soaring balloons to Portland. The "homers' will be- furnished by Ralph Warren of the Oregon Homing Pigeon club and will be sent' forth from each of the four air-bags 'at specified intervals . during the trip Snecial arrangements have been mad at the circus grounds for the In stallatlon of an 18 inch main to fur nish the necessary gas for Inflating h balloons. It Is expected that the balloons will ha able to remain in the air from 24 to S hours and cover a distance of possibly 1000 miles. ; Butonnieres to Be : Given to Visitors . Gaaata at .

It was held at the Bishop Scott academy under the auspices , of the women of Trinity church. Among the leading amateur rose fanciers of Portland are Frederick V. Holman and Mrs. F. I. Fuller, who have done much in leading the movement to beautify Portland Heights. Most of the members of the local society belong to the National Rose society of England.

It is a question frequently asked by strangers, "Why Is Portland pre eminently Hho Rose City'?" It is not that Portland people, as a class, have a love for the beautiful to a greater extent than average persons, or that they have a greater pride in their city than is usual in American cities. Roses thrive and bloom here In a perfection and a beauty that occur only in a few places In the world. Thus, as a people, Portlanders are rose lovers and rose enthusiasts. There are two great essentials to the successful growing of : perfect roses soil and climate. We have in Portland a rich, heavy, yellow clay soil which is almost ideal for the growth of rose bushes and the pro duction of roses. - It is the soil roses like beet. They will grow comparatively well in a less congenial soil. This clay soli is un excelled, especially for hybrid teas and hybrid perpetuais. But as man can not live - by bread alone," roses cannot bloom in perfection without an other necessary condition, and tais Portland has. I Climate Principal Heason. Tt Is the climate. Soil can be lm ported, but climate is only where it occurs. The one great reason why Cal ifornia cannot grow the most beauti ful roses in perfection Is its arid con ditions, its hot, dry winds, which in terfere with the proper growth of the bushes and prevent the successful de velopment of the flowers. In and around Portland, In May and in June, we have in th open the cli matic conditions which roses like best. Prior to that time, a slow develop ment goes on, retarded somewhat by cool weather and rainy conditions. But these conditions allow the strong root growth to furnish the necessary sap when-blooming time calls for all the strength of the bush and puts Its vi tality to the- test. It also allows: the slow and strong growth and development of buds as the necessary prerequisite for the pro duction of specimen roses. It Is akin to the slow but,turdy growth of the child to make strong and healthy men and beautiful women. When the blooming time comes on these buds are ready to respond to nature's call. They have not only the desire but the strength and vitality to grow into beautiful and attractive forms. A weakly woman may become the mother of a strong and healthy child, but the chances are against it. And then in this blooming season comes the ideal climatic conditions the even but moderate temperature. wo uen ne, moist air, wunout an ex cess of humidity; the mild, cool breezes, which prevent excessive heat: the clouds which keep away the too ardent rays of the sun. and the long aays or tne latter part of May and eariy June. These give the size, the delicacy, and at the same time the richness and beauty of color which such conditions produce and which are essential to perfect blooming roses. . It is then in Portland we have practically green house conditions in the open. They not only assist the roses, hut notice, if you please, the charming complexions of the girls and women of Portland, where rouge stays In th roughepot at drug stores. People sometimes abuse Portland's cMmate. I point to the result. Portland Proud of moses. And so, finding that roses are so' easily grown and bloom so beautifully, we have become a roee growing city, because Portland has a home loving people and we take a pride In the fa it and we are not too proud to announce it openly to tho world. Envious cities and towns may openly laugh at Portland taking pride in Its roses and being known as "The Rose City." The childless woman may openly scoff at children and thar.k God she has none but she weeps in secret. And thus it has come about that every space around the dwellings in Portland has its roses, from the hum blest shack to the most pretentious mansion. Where there is a beautiful front yard there is no ugly or dis reputable back yard. And so Portland Is not only a beautiful city but it is a clean one. A ride through the resi dence districts of Portland anywhere this Festival week will make a Port lander proud and a stranger envious New Decorative Plan Adoptedifor Festival Zn Addition to Bnatinr. Streets Will Be Adorned by Greens and Floral De slfas This Tear. Visitors to Portland's Rose Festival this year, and home folks, toe, for that matter wii discover a brand new dec orative scheme this season.' In addi tion to the usual long streamers of bunting and banners and flags strung from the buildings, the streets will be adorned In greens and floral designs. Throughout the coniested centers or the city hemispherical baskets loaded down with blossoming plants and climbing vines will hang from the lamp posts, and these, coupled with the presence of numberless garlands of cedar greens will, it is hoped, pre sent a measure of novelty beauty and lastly permanency. After the festival It Is the intention of the Stret decorations committee to leave the hanging baskets in place and the plants will be cared for the re mainder of the season by storekeepers and individuals. W. F. Woodard of Woodard A Clarke; is the chairman of the street decora tions' committee, and early in the sea son he was told that money for his department would not be large, and he determined to be sparing. Realizing the necessity of coopera tion on the part of property owners and business men generally, he ad dressed a letter to them, stating the conditions and asking them whether they would decorate their blocks. A large number of favorable replies were received, and as a result virtually alC the business houses will blossom forth in bunting, flags and electricity. With the exception of- flags, the dec orations' committee has followed a- pol icy of patronizing home Industry. The flower baskets are the products of local labor, and the - cedar garlands are being made of cedar grown in Oregon forests and - weaved by Port land florists.. and the fact that thousands of visitors win be in Portland to make mrr. special permission has been granted for one evening only for the use of the multi-colored paper bits.

Street danc ing in costume, original stunts by the notary club and other typical Mardl Gras features will make for the great est evening or pure carnival ever held in Portland. Revelers will have an opportunity to tnrow confetti to their hearts' content, while It is expected that tons of these paper particles in every conceivable geometric shape and of every known color will be showered on the heads of the merrymakers during the course of the evening.
