PORTLAND DECORATES
FOR ROSE FESTIVAL

Portland. Oregon. May "a. 1909.
Especial Correspondence - Port
land people are delighted over the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
decision this week opening the Port
land gateway. This is a ruling Port
land has long contended for and the
victory is regarded as an important
one. Its chief significance will mean
a free Interchange of passenger traf-
fic at Portland between the Hill and
Hartman lines. This is bound to
increase the travel of Eastern visit
ors to the coast through this city for
at present travellers coming through
Portland bound either to or from the
Sound, must re-check their baggage
and buy new tickets here. This is
inconvenient and has often deferred
passengers from coming to this city.
The decision means that through
tickets must be sold via Portland,
thing the Hill lines have hitherto
maintained should not be required
of them as 1t gave the long haul to
the Hartman roads. The Hill roads
are expected to appeal the case to
the Supreme Court.
Portland merchants met at the
Commercial Club this week and took
steps to decorate the city thoroughly
in honor of the many visitors who
will attend the Rose Festival early In
June, The retailers plan to make
their stores highly attractive for out
of town guests and tourists who will
be here for Festival week. Places of
business will be transformed into
perfect bowers of beauty for the de-
light of visitors. The work of en-
blazoning floral designs on shops
windows about town is now going on.
Flags and festival colors will be put
up next week. Rose decorations of
the business houses will be delayed
until the festival opens on June z,
when the queen flower will reign
supreme about the city.
Showing much interest In Oregon
timber, party of Is Michigan capi-
talists spent a day in Portland dur
ing the week. They represent capt.
tai of over $4,000, 900, and their
visit here shows an interest in Ore
gon timber that will mean the in
vestment of large sums here In fu-
ture. They said some Of their num-
ber intended to secure some of the
remaining big trees of this state
shortly, Two of the party will re-
turn to Portland within a few days
to receive reports on Oregon proper
ties they are now looking up. The
visitors are mostly officials OF the
MichlganPaciflc Lumber Company.
New and improved train service
throughout on the Southern Pacific
lines in this state will be inaugnr-
ated on June /. At that time the
Shasta Limited, the new fast train
to California, will be put In commits
sion, improving the Willamette
Valley service to a great extent.

arrangements for the annual state
