Late last night a few scattering clouds appeared to be trying to organize for business, but at a still later hour they did not seem to have succeeded. The weather man promises Summer weather for the day. While the morning is sched uled for an unclouded sum no change in the elements can well interfere with the success of the Fiesta to any considerable degree. The weather has already served Its great purpose of bringing roses Into bloom by the millions. The rains of last week and the hot sun of this week com bined to bring out a good normal crop. It Is not at all unprecedented. Portland 19 Just such a bed of roses every year. Today's parade will form at 2 P. M. and will move half an hour later on the dot. In the formation the head of the column will rest on Jefferson and Park streets. 'Moving off, the column will take the fol lowing route: North on Park to Madison, cast to Sixth, north to Pine, east to Fourth, south on Fourth to the reviewing stand at the Courthouse, where a pause will be made while De Caprio's band will play the Fiesta grand march while the school girls under Director Krohn will go through maneuvers.

Carnival and Fiesta roses in great quantities are needed today and tomorrow. These roses are for decorating the Rose Society's automobiles, floats and carriages that have been donated to the society for use on this occasion. . They will not be used for private exhibits.

It is now up to the residents of1 Port land and the surrounding su burbs to make the show a suc cess by furnishing the roses in quantities large and small. Pick your roses thls morning. Arrangements have been made with the Portland Railway Company to receive these roses at your station or street cor ners by simply tendering them In market baskets or small packages to the conductors or motormen, who In turn will transport them to the terminals where they will be received by the parade committee of the Rose Society. One hundred and twenty-five young ladies have volunteered their services at the Armory and Multnomah Field, where they will act as decorators, under the direction of experienced florists.

"The proceeds of our efforts will be used to further the work of the society, which last year assisted 2555 girls In various ways, besides pro viding employment 'for 00 others through the operation of the employ ment agency we maintain in connec tion with our work. The year before, during the Lewis and Clark Fair, we found employment for 1600 young girls. We have a night worker at the Union Depot, and during the past month she has rendered assistance to SS0 girls and women. "The probabilities are that this year's work will be about double that of last year, and we will need more funds to meet the Increased cost of operation.

Imperial iiotol -A-iso Scenic Photov HUNTER FENDER IS MADE LEGAL Resolution Passed by Council on Request of the Street Railway Company. MANNING'S HANDS ARE TIED Purpose of Resolution Is to Prevent Action hy District Attorney Until the Company Has Had Time to Adopt New Fender. The Hunter drop-guard fender, with which Portland streetcars are- now equipped, was again legalized by the City Council In a resolution adopted yesterday. and will continue to be the official fender for four months from July 1. unless the Council should make a change before the expiration of that time. . The action was taken for the purpose of preventing Dis trict Attorney Manning from enforcing the state fender law In Portland, by tak ing the fender problem out of his hands. The Hunter fender is the one blamed for the many fatal streetcar accidents in Portland. It is only three weeks since the Council rescinded the old resolution which legalized the Hunter fender. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, controlling all the streetcar lines of the city, Is said to be responsible for the resolution, which was introduced by Councilman Boothe. The officials of the streetcar company declare that they have been unable In the short time given them to find a fender complying with the Btate law. The District Attorney set 30 days as the period after which he would enforce the state fender law. It is con tended that the fenders cannot be manu factured and placed on the cars in this short time. Councilman Vaughn said that the Coun cil is not the guardian of the railroad company, or of any other corporation or Individual, and that as the resolution was only to save the railway company from conflict with the state it should not be passed. "If the corporation has violated the state law." continued' Mr. Vaughn, "let them make peace with the state without using us as a tool to do it with. "A committee of three, of which I am a member, was appointed last Wednesday to look Into the fender question. We have not yet had time to decide on the best fender, and I think the matter should be referred to the committee. I expect to make Investigations of the fenders in use in San Francisco and of thoseused in Se attle and other places, and would like time In which to do it." Councilman Bakjr asked when the state fender law was passed, and on being told that It had been upon the statute books since 1903 said that he thought it very strange that Mr. Manning 'has just awakened to that fact." "If we have jurisdiction over these mat ters, as we seem to have had for the past four years, and it is a matter for the city to regulate instead of the District At torney, I say adopt the Hunter fender until a better' one Is decided upon. It seems that we have simply opened up a loophole whereby the District Attorney can prosecute the railway company. I think we should take the matter in our own hands again, as I do not believe any more people will be hurt by the Hunter fender than by any other fender. Why should the District Attorney ride on the cow-catcher of the streetcars?" Councilman Wallace contended that the state law especially reserves to the city the right to designate the kind of fender to be used. The motion of Mr. Vaughn to refer the matter back to the original fender com mittee was lost, after which it was voted to pass the resolution. The District Attorney issued notice last Thursday to the officials of the street rail way company that the state law must be complied with within SO days. The Mayor and a number of the Councilmen were present at a test a few days ago, which was said to be unsatisfactory. Oskar Huber, a representative . of the corporation, placed the resolution in the hands of Councilman Boothe. declaring that the company can within 90 days ob tain a fender which will meet all require ments of the law.

TELEGRiPHERS ON ALERT EXPECT TO BE CALLED OUT ON STRIKE. Union Men Believe Trouble Can No Longer Be Averted Confident of Success. . Portland telegraph operators are on the alert, expecting to b, called out on strike at any moment. The men at the key in the local offices of both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies are strongly unionized, and It Is said on good authority that over 90 per cent of the commercial telegraphers In the cits hold union cards. Portland will suf fer In common with the rest of the country should the impending strike fee ordered. The local union has made all prep arations to go out. The members have voted a etrlke assessment, which, will be collected as soon as the strike Is announced. Plans are now under way to establish a home for the strik ing telegraphers who are single men. A house will be rented, a cook hired, and the club plan, followed. This will not only reduce expenses to a minimum during the strike, - but will keep the men together, and If any need encour agement, to stay out until the strike is won, they will get it by associating with each other. "With the exception of Associated Press and brokers' operators, all union telegraphers In Portland will walk out If the order to strike comes from Pres, ldent Small," said Percy D. Morgan, secretary of the local union. "The men held a meeting Sunday and de cided to abide by President Small's orders. A strike assessment of one day's pay for each operator in Port land has been levied, and a strong fight will be put up. I do not think the strike will last long, as It will be very difficult to fill the places of the men If they go out. While the strike lasts it will undoubtedly cause a great deal of trouble and confusion in the business . community. The Asso ciated Press and brokers' operators who would remain at work, would contribute from their salaries to main tain the strikers." Manager John Annand of the Pos tal and Manager William Dumars of the Western Union appear optimistic. They say they are not advised how things are going and that their only Information cames through the news papers. They scout the probability of a general walkout, but they them selves are in the dark as to the strength of the union among their em ployes. They expect the union men to go out, If the call comes, but are hope ful that enough men will remain loyal to handle the keys until more men can be secured. It is said that operators are scarce and that in the event of a strike, fewer men would be available from the outside than ever. The Portland operators expect it will be little trouble to win if a strike is called. Rich red blood naturally results from taking Hood's Sarsaparllla.

CftTCH H0R5ETHIEF Clever Rustler Is Betrayed by Stolen Bridle. HAS TURNED MANY TRICKS Ed Smith, Alias Miller, Acknowl edges Theft of Two Valuable) Animals and Is Suspected i - of Many Others. - Betrayed by a bridle he had stolen, Ed Smith, alias Miller, a confessed horse thief, who is supposed to be the leader of a gang that perpetrated the theft of many valuable animals within the past month, is confined in the County Jail. He was arrested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Harry Bulger at Second and Main streets, where he had gone to collect the - balance due on a valuable horse he had sold to Jeff Rlpps. Smith, or Miller, acknowledged the theft of this horse and of Dr. Sandford Whiting's horse, both animals having been taken from Ladd's pasture qn the Canyon road within the last two weeeks. The prisoner will be arraigned before Municipal Judge Cameron this morning. The confessed thief was apprehended through the tracing of a bridle stolen from Pierce's pasture, near Ladd's grax ing ground, two weeks ago. The bridle was traced to a livery stable in Portland by Deputy Sheriff Bulger, who ascer tained the stolen piece of harness was attached to Dr. Whiting's horse when sold by Smith to P. C. Earl for $40. The bridle was next heard of in a livery stable near Second and Main streets, where it was learned It was attached to a valu able horse sold by an unknown man for 175 to Jeff Rlpps. The thief had col lected $10 on the purchase price and 'was taken into custody yesterday upon call ing for the balance. Smith, or Miller, when placed In the dungeon at the County Jail, acknowl edged both thefts, but refused to give his right name, saying' he was a "Christian" and had a wife and four children be did not want to disgrace. That he is an ex perienced horsethief is believed by Sheriff Stevens, as he was choice in his selec tion of horseflesh and had covered his tracks like an expert. He slept in Pierce's barn the night of the theft of the bridle, .nd In the early morning filed down the barb-wire fence to take out Dr. Whiting's horse. He se cured the animal, repaired the fence and took the horse to town, readily effecting its sale. He went through the same op eration in stealing the second horse and dtsposlng of it. The owner of the second horse known to have been stolen by Smith, or Miller, has not been ascer tained. It is a valuable animal, a bay 3 years old, weighing 15a) pounds. Horse men say It could easily bring $600 In the market. The prisoner- is a man 45 years of age and evinces the bravado of a thorough criminal. He will be placed in the dun geon again today in an attempt to force him to tell more of his actions, the Sheriff being convinced Deputy Bulger has round ed in an expert. The theft of Dr. Whiting's horse by Smith marked the second theft of the animal within less than two months. On the first occasion it was stolen by a boy who drove it to Hlllsboro and left it there tied in the main street. REBUILD STEEL EXPECTED HARRIMAX WlLli CONDEMN OLD. STRUCTURE. Built 16 Years Ago, It Is Soyr In adequate to the Needs pf His Railroads. Not later than 1909, and possibly be fore the end of another year, it Is expected that the Steel bridge will be rebuilt by the O. R. & N. Company. An examination of the structure has been made recently and a report on Its condition completed. This will be sent to the Chicago headquarters of the Har rlman system and it is believed that the recommendation for a new, double track bridge to replace the present structure will accompany It. y The bridge Is admittedly Inadequate to traffic demands even now and will be much more so with the completion of the Oregon & Washington, the new Union Pacific extension to Puget Sound. It Is expected that this line will bring much more tonnage into the Portland yards and It must all come over the Steel bridge. Double tracks are needed even now, as the bridge affords the only entrance to the terminal grounds for the Harriman roads With the com pletion of the Willsburg cutoff, by which West Side trains will be taken off Fourth stret and routed to the local terminal by the Steel bridge, traffic over the bridge will be still further congested. v The needs of streetcar lines, teams and pedestrians, while secondary to the railroad interests In the mind of NATIONAL , BISCUIT COMPANY BEST PIANO VALUES ALWAYS AT EILERS SPECIAL THREE-DAY ROSE CARNIVAL SALE GRAND OPPORTU NITY TOR PIANO, PIANO-PLAYER AND ORGAN SEEKERS Eilers Demonstrate Itade Supremacy lTom Every Standpoint The Great est Piano Selling Organization in America Known From California to Alaska as the House of Highest Quality Exclusive Agents for the World's Three Greatest Makes, Weber, Chickering and Kimball, and Thirty Other Leaders Popular Principles and Modern Methods, Which Save to Every Individual Purchaser an Amount Equal to Average Dealer's Entire Profit.

It got its common name from this circumstance.- The upper deck Is leased by the county and Is .inadequate to the de mands upon It.
