Girls.
The announcement made in a re-
cent issue that the Tribune would
send 20 young ladies to the Portland
Rose Festival is creating much in
terest throughout Canyon county. 1t
is due largely to the fact that under
the plan adopted by the management
for choosing the members of the par
ty, it is utterly impossible for an en-
trant to lose. 1t is in no sense con-
test. Everyone entering, by secur-
ing the required amount of business,
is sure of the trip 1t is not guess
work but an absolute certainty. By
conscientious effort the conditions can
easily met in two weeks time.
A complete program has been ar
ranged for the amusement Of the par
ty, while in Portland The following
articles from the two leading news
papers OF Portland state what the cit
liens of that city intend to offer the
party in the amusement line
I'VE have been hearing so much
about the Rose Festival for the last
two or three years over in Idaho that
we decided that our next excursion
party should take in the next cele-
bration," said M H. Gibbons, of Cald-
well, yesterday. Mr.. Gibbons has
charge of the circulation work of the
Caldwell Tribune and Gem State Rur-
al.
In addition to visiting Partland
during the floral fete the party will
take number of side trips out of
Portland and spend their vacation en-
joying the scenery and hospitality of
this particular section
Il have come to Portland to arrange
for hotel accommodations for the ex-
cursion," said Mr. Gibbons, and while
| am here l shall arrange for accom-
modations during the entire trip We
expect to get either a special train for
the girls or else to have several special
cars and to make number of stop
overs while we are on the way to Port
land. We shall arrive day or two be-
fore the Festival and will be here the
entire week. 1t is also our plan to
visit the chief points of scenic interest
on the Coast and to have theatre par
ties, sightseeing tours with perhaps a
banquet while in Portland"
A meeting was held with the Rose
Festival management yesterday and
President Hayt said that every func-
ton that the association had anything
