ceiling and was covered completely
with a mass of roses and twining smilax
formed the center of the bank, while at
either side tier after tier of roses in
huge bouquets made a wall of color.
The official flag of the exposition, made
in colors by the ingenious use of bluets,
~irises, carnations and roses, composed
the centerpiece of the whole.
Perhaps the most attractive feature
of the rose show was a bower in the CEN
ter of the building. built after the man
ner of a grape arbor, and covered, like
the pergola, with a profusion of choice
blooms. Aside from the pergola and
the bower, there was no attempt at
elaborate display, but the whole effect
was far more delightful than would
have been the case had the show been
made more artificial.
In Portland, this summer, during the
exposition period, which continues until
October Is, there will be a rose show
every day, for there are 10000 rose
bushes on the fair grounds, in plats and
scattered about the walks and drive
ways, and these are all poisoning with
a p%rodigality of bloom that is character
istic of Portland. The early visitors
at the fair have admired its charming
setting, which is far superior to any
enjoyed by an earlier enterprise of a like
nature, and they have marveled greatly
at the mighty logs which compose the
Forestry building, and at the agricul-
turaI products shown in the displays
made by the various counties, but per-
haps more than anything else, they have
enjoyed the roses, which constitute
an entirely new exposition feature, and
one not possible at any exposition less
advantageously situated. There is a
Boutonniere club in Portland, com
posed of men and ome who agree to
wear a rose every day in the year, and
every one who visits the fair may be a
member of the club during his stay in
the city. for in the forestry building
thousands of roses are given away every
day.

Portland proved her title to fame a.
the Rose City of the world by HOLDING
during the early days of the Lewis anC
Clark exposition the most successful
rose show ever held in America. The
show, which took place in the Auditori
UNI at the exposition, demonstrated tC
the many fasteners who were present
that the stories of Portland roses
were not myths, for half a million
blossoms, some Of them as large as the
: biggest ~sunflowers, bore fragrant testi-
mony that half had not been told.
There have been rose shows in many
cities, but the Portland rose show was
different from others in hat the roses
or exhibition were grown out of doors,
in front yards, rather than in hot
houses under the watchful care of ex-
perienced florists. In Portland every
body has roses. There are rose hedges
in the yards, and rows of roses line the
~boulevards, while climbing roses lift
their flower heads to second and third
story windows. The roses displayed
at the exposition were the kind which
are found everywhere in Portland, and
which may be had for the asking. There
were % contests, all but four being
amateur rosarians, Besides those who
tried for prizes, hundreds of people con-
tributed to the success of the under.
taking by giving their choicest blos-
SONS, and, although half a million
blooms in all we're shown, and perhaps
as many more rejected as unworthy of
Portland's fame as the Rose City, no
visible impression was made on the
b%ounteous supply.
In Portland, as elsewhere, June is the
month of roses, but no one speaks of 1T
as such, because while the blossoms
are rather more abundant in June than
at any other season, the rose bloomsthe
year around. During the holiday sea-
son last winter. when people in the east
we're paying fabulous prices for flowers,
Portland folks picked fragrant clusters
Of roses from their own front yards.
In Portland, every day is a rose day,
and every n may wear a rose every
morning, and have a bouquet of roses
on his dinner table every night.
AT the rose show of the Lewis and
Clark exposition there probably were
more roses than ever before were gath
cred under one roof. De Caprio's adj
ministration band, which was en-
throned on the stage, was almost COM

blossoms. The frame of an Italian per-

1t was the almost Incredible intelli-

Wicksler had not supposed he could

Mrs. Wicksler.

Later in the evening, after a period
of th~oughtfulness. he said: My dear. l

Ever since he could remember, al
most, Wicksler had been in debt. At
one time 1t was the grocer, al another

iceman, or the gas company, or the
piano rent, or the little account at the
drug store. When the bills were extra

A deal which has been pending
since the first Of the year was closed
here Saturday when w. 6. Brust,
of the firm of Brown & Brust, pur-
chased the interest Of his partner
and is now sole owner of the big
mercantile establishment of that
name. The price paid for w. l.
Browns one-half interest in the
store has not been made public but
Mr.. Brust's fine $50 acre farm
south of town figured prominently
in the deal as part payment. Mr.
Brown, who has been one of oul
prominent merchants for a number
of years, will now take a much
needed rest for at least year and
will spend much of that time at
his home here. He has not yet de-
cided what business he will take
up after this year.

The anti-polygamy bills seem to
be creating considerable disturb
ance in the legislature at Boise. 1t
is passing strange that the provis-
ions of any bills of that nature
should be considered too stringent
if the passage of such laws are nee
essary. If the present polygamy
and adultery laws are insufficient
they should be cast aside and new
and doubly strong ones enacted to
replace them. Laws cannot be too
plain nor too'strong to govern such
crimes and the legislators should
have no hesitation in choosing be-
tween bills that are strong and
bills that are insufficient to deal
adequately with the crimes which
they are intended to govern.

Now that the band instruments
are almost here many will think
the greatest difficulty is conquered.
That is a mistake. The purchas-
ing Of the instruments was the cas-
lest part. Now will come the hard
work in maintaining a competent
Instructor until the members are
capable Of getting along without
one, in keeping harmony among
the band members and not allow
ing outside influence to breed dis.
turbance and in raising the neces-
sary money to pay the instructor
and meet the natural expenses of
the band. This latter item will
most probably have to be met by
giving dances and entertainments
for the benefit of the band to which
every citizen will be asked to con.
tribute in some manner. 1t will
take the united action of all tc
keep the band going until it is cap,
able of taking care Of itself and
none should fold their hands nov

quired Of them.
