Portland will he dressed In an attrac
tive manner during the Rose Festival
in fact in no year, during the past hare
the director of the festival provided for
such pretentious decorations as are
planned for the Victory Rose Festival in
June. The work of decorating will be
carried out Jointly toy the Rose Festival
association and the . Portland Ad club
which will act as host to the convention
of the Pacific Coast Advertising clubs a
few days previous to the annual rose
fiesta.
The festival decorations will be in
stalled during the Ad Men's convention
and remain up during? the week of the
convention, ' according to . the present
plans. '- '-.
Something 3few" Promised '
Two hundred and fifty 1000 watt lamps
pouring floods of light from the center
of as many full blown richly tinted roBes,
30 Inches across the bloom frdm petal to
petal and dangling from green leafed
stems eight feet long, lashed to wires
stretched across the streets from build
ing to building, will be a feature of the
street decoration and lighting of this
year's festival. -
These roses will te placed as many as
eight to the block in the 10 block
stretches in the congested district and
In lesser numbers as the flood of Illu
mination Is made to fade gradually Into
the ordinary street lighting.1" They will
be of such pretty daylight decorative ef
fect as to form the nucleus of what
promises to be a striking day and night
decorative scheme.
This scheme will be worked out with
- an abundance , of -flags and pennants
strung high, across the street, with vin
Ing garlands of green looped from light
pole to light pole, and with swinging bas
kets filled' with natural flowers and
foliage and vlning plants suspended at
each-point where the loops of garlands
are; picked up between the various light
: poles.
; '. Cat Flowers la TTrae '
The light cluster on each light pole
will be a. festoon of vinlng green gar
lands by day and a shower of tinted in
candescent lights by night.
In the middle of each block, on both
Rides of Broadway' from Burnside "to
Taylor street, and on Victory Way, from
BuruBide- to Liberty temple, will be
placed a Jiuge flower urn, which, on its
' edestal. will stand mow than eight feet
high. This urn .will be filled daily with
the choicest cut flowers.
, street Intersections will be swung high
overhead a huge chandelier of pretty
decorative, effects by day which at night
will form a shower of many lights and
beautiful color effects. '
Liberty temple, as viewed from Viq-
tory Way, north of Washington street.
will be set off. in new white brilliancy
' '"'Ithin an arch of looped green garlands
and swinging flower baskets by day and
. vtith a great arched: steam cloud halo
by ' night, the arch to be erected over
; ixth street Just, north of Morrison
Ktreet.'
Burnside street, from Broadway to the
North Park blocks, which, will be the
carnival center, will be a blase of festive
: and gorgeous, lights. The soldiers wel
coming arch on Sixth street near the
Union station will be brightened with a
new coat of paint, festooned with vinlng
preen garlands and made brilliant at
night , with strings of high powered
lights. : : ' '
Brilllaa Lights. Everywhere -
Main street, at the south end of the
big illumination, from Broadway to Rose
Center, and the public dancing center In
. the South Park blocks, will be virtually
flooded from several of the . large rose
lights together with many incandescents
In the stand on the thoroughfare.
At the intersection of Broadway and
Main streets, where the turn to Rose
Center will be made, a pretty light cur
tain is planned. New brilliancy will be
' given the Third street arches under the
Festival 'association's plan and the gen
eral decorative scheme will tend to beau
tify thls section during daylight.
The big; rose lights, which are dlstlnc
, lively new, will give an unique lighting
effect. The petals of the big blossoms
are so made that in addition to reflect
ing a great flood of light down onto the
street, the light is reflected from petar
: to petal and out through the flower,
. gathering new rose tints with each re
flection, thus making the whole flower
a big ball of reflected lustrous light.
The plan Is to arch a steam pipe over
Victory Way between Morrison and Al
Jer streets. In this pipe are jets emit
ting steam which at nlpht-will reflect
light with wonderful effect. For da y
, light decoration the pipe will be .fep
. tooned with green garlands and from it
will be hung. wire baskets In which will
