8 THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY. OCTOBER 14. 19U7. BISHOP mm OF VISITS PORTLAND Right Reverend P. T. Rowe, Head of Episcopal Church in North, Tells of Work. PRAISES HEROIC WOMEN Many Volunteer to Conduct Schools, Missions and Hospitals In Wil derness, but Young Men Are Found Wanting. Bishop P. T. Rowe, head of the Episco pal Church In Alaska, Is a guest at the Hotel Portland. Bishop Rowe has lived In Alaska 12 years and. a he said last right, expects to spend the rest of his life there'. He was an old-timer, a seasoned "musher" even before the Klondike was discovered and has seen Alaska develop from a frozen waste apparently forever worthless to man, Into a field of active endeavor and rapidly extending civiliza tion. Where once were. only dog trains, now double hands of steel stretch out from the coast toward the interior, the locomotive climbs mountains and roars through canyons that were once In the solitude of the wilderness. "Alaska Is a wonderful place," said the Bishop last night. "It is a good place for a young; man to go to. You must remem ber that the name Alaska if applied to an extent of country about the size of the Mississippi or the Columbia Valley water shed, with thousands of square miles to spare. At present the section making the most rapid progress is along the south eastern coast, especially in the vicinity of Prince William Sound. In 30 years at the longest, I believe. Portlar! and all other cities will be connected with that section by a railroad, following the coast line In a general way, probably. Not a Frozen 'Waste. "Alaska is not a frozen waste. This year we raised strawberries in Fairbanks, fcnd that Is Inside the Arctic Circle. Along the southeastern coast are to be found in Bummer myriads of different butterflies Df the kinds common to the United States, and hundreds of different flowers. This Thows what the climate is. Along Prince William Sound the snow does not begin to fall until October or November, and It is all gone in May. But the snow really does pile up In Winter. Where It merely rains here it snows there, and one Win ter we had a snow fall of 72 feet In Val fles. "Valdez is at the head of Prince Will lam Sound, with Matinuska, Katella and Cordova not far away. At present Ka tella Is the lending seaport. Cordova Is too shallow for a good harbor for large ships, but Valdez is Ideal; big, deep and Well protected. "Out of these ports In the near future is coming the coal for the whole Pacific Coast. The whole country to the north of Prince William Sound and at Mati nuska,, on the projected Alaska Central Railroad. Is underlaid with coal equal to any In the world. Pennsylvania has not better nor more coal than we have around Prince Williams Sound. Huge Copper Deposits. "Copper Is there, too, and though we do not yet know Just how much of It there Is, we do know that we have one of the biggest and richest. If not the very biggest and richest deposits of copper In the world. "So far as my own special line of work is concerned, we are doing all we can to help the people up there, be they who tliey may. We have 21 missions, and a mission In the north really means a com bined school, church and hospital. And we have 7 hospitals besides. We never have any trouble In getting women to go up there to nurse the sick and teach school Just for the good of humanity. But we do have trouble to secure the right kind of young men. For instance, there are now two of the noblest women In tiie world stationed hundreds of miles away from civilization, Back on the Ko yukak River among Indians who have never seen other white women and only a few while prospectors. "These two women are a nurse. Miss C. M. Carter, of Boston, and Miss C. M. Holntz, of a prominent ' family In Los Angeles. Both are magnificent young women with life all before them, but they have gone to Dawson, then 1000 miles down the Yukon, then 4fi0 miles up the Koyukuk River to live in log cabins far beyond the Arctla Circle Just for the good they ran do for their fellow man. They get no reward in money and expect none; nothing but their living. I Heroines of Present Day. "You may Judge what their life is year in and year out when I say that the mall I am now sending them will not reach them until next June. The quiet heroines of the world live and die today Just as they always did. and the pity of it Is that but a few ever hear of them. God bless those women! And there are others. I only mention them as an Incident of what Is being done up there In spiritual ways, its well as for the material tilings of life." Bishop Rowe leaves Portland Tuesday for California, where he will remain a week, then return by steamer to Sitka. There is nothing of the smug holy man about Bishop Rowe; he reminds one of the Bishop in Owen Wlster's tales of Wyoming, and In some ways of the still nobler Bishop in Victor Hugo's "Les Mis- erables." PREDICTS GREAT FUTURE Judge Dietrich Speaks in Glowing Terms of Pacific Northwest. United States Judge P. S. Dietrich, of the District of Iduho, wsto in Port land yesterday on his way to Tacoma, where for two weeks he will hold court In the place of Judge Edward Whltson. Concerning recent public matters In .Idaho Judge Dietrich declined to speak for publication. He was accompanied from Idaho to Portland by his friend, United States Senator W. E. Borah. s I rode down the Columbia all day I marvelled on what a river It Is." he said last night. "This country Is still in its cradle, and some day, not far ofT either. It will have millions where now live only thousands. When Port land has the products from the millions of rich acres in Idaho that today are only suge brush, to say nothing of the other territory this city Is tile outlet for, when that day dawns as It must, this and other cities of this great North west will be hives of Industry. The wheat fields to the east of Portland must help feed the millions of Asia, and we In turn need the tilings that they have over there. What It will end In a man hardly dares to predict. "Think of what the Atlantic Coast was only a century ago, and then think of what this Coast will be right here canturv. banco. I know llttla of th engineering details about opening the Oplumbla River and so cannot ex press any opinion worth while about it, as a technical man could, but we all know that a great water route from the Pacific Ocean for hundreds of miles into the heart of this country would be a national blessing in every way."

APPEAL MADE TIT GENEROUS PUBLIC Upon Result of Canvass To morrow Depends Rose Festival's Success. MUST SECURE $100,000 Amount Fixed as Limit None Too Large In View of Elaborate Plans Made Damrosch Orchestra Coming. Upon the generosity of the people of Portland as exhibited today and tomor row will depend the magnitude of the Rose Festival of next year. If the whirlwind canvass of more than S00 active hustlers during these two days results in the pledging of 100,000, the mark set, the celebration will be. with out question, the finest and most spec tacular demonstration ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast. And whether it shall be consummated upon the broad scale outlined or not. is a matter that is entirely up to the public-spirited citizens of the Rose City. All the days and weeks of planning on the part of the board of directors and the ways and means committee have looked forward to the work of "campaign day" tomorrow, but that as much ground as possible might be covered by the solicitors, preliminary work has been going on for several days past, for it was found utterly im possible to make a complete clean-up In one day, no matter how many com mittees were put In the field. The festival management feels that it is not too much to ask J100.000 for a whole week's Jubilee, for the simple reason that other cities like Los An geles, New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louie, where floral feasts and pagean try are regular annual events, sub scribe hundreds of thousands or dol lars for the gala events many months before they are to be held. Where Portland Has Advantage. Therefore it is felt that $100,000 is a modest estimate of the money needed to make the festival the grandest ever held in the Pacific Northwest. Every dollar contributed will go much far ther here than elsewhere, because Portland has an Inexhaustible wealth of roses and other flowers, whereas other cities have to embellish their parades with, and make their decora tions of artificial foliage and blossoms. In addition to this, no feast of flow ers at Los Angeles, mardl-gras at New Orleans or Priests of Pallas at Kansas City has eves been graced by the presence of the President of the United States, and there is every rea son to believe that Mr. Roosevelt will attend the Portland Rose Festival, be cause the united efforts of the Coast States, with the Alaska-Tukon-Pacific Exposition management, will be exert ed to bring him to the Northwest next Summer, making this his first visit here since May, 1904, Just prior to the last National campaign. Correspondence Is now being car ried on between the Festival manage ment and the Chicago Real Estate Board, the most influential organiza tion of its character in America, with a view of persuading its members to make Portland their objective point on their Junketing tour of the Pacific Coast next Summer. The board, some weeks ago, decided, at its annual ban quet, that it would make a trip to the Pacific Slope some time during the Summer of 1908, but did not fix the date, leaving that to the executive committee to decide upon at some later time. As soon as the Festival Association learned of this, steps were taken to persuade the board to arrange its itin erary bo' that it could be here some time during the first week of June. Festival literature, together with a full explanation of the various attractions, will be forwarded to the Chicago real estate men, and the Influence of the general passenger agents of the trans continental railroads will supplement the invitation of Rose City , people. Great Musical Festival. , As a part of the general arrange ments that have already been made for brilliant events of all kinds, some Rose City people may have forgotten the fact that the finest musical festi val ever held in the Northwest will be a part of the programme for the week. It is entirely due to the tireless ener gies and tact of Miss Lois Steers and her business associate. Miss Wynn Co man, that the world-renowned Walter Damrosch New York Symphony Or chestra will be here during the Rose Festival. The Steers-Coman people, as soon as they learned the date of the Festival, took steps to have the dates of the Damrosch engagement, already booked for an earlier date, changed so that the concerts, three In number, would be given at that time. They were successful, and the Damrosch musical festival has been booked for Portland for June 3 and 4, next year. It waa only upon the showing that there would be tens of thousands of CURES ALL JLAME BACKS Mix Tbln simple. Helpful Recipe at Home and Try It, Anyway. Get from any prescription pharmacy the following: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one - half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounrie; Compound Syrup " Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. The above is considered by an emi nent authority as the finest prescrip tion ever written to relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acta promptly on the elimlna ttve tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheumatism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest Injury to the stomach or other organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It cer tainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent au thority, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it visitors in the Rose City that Dam rosch consented to make the change in dates, which Involved an entirely new itinerary for the Pacific Coast tour. It is highly probable that the Rose Festival slogan suggested by William McMurray : "Roses fragrant, roses rare, "Roses, roses, everywhere," will be accepted and made general use of in the exploitation literature and in all advertising matter. This slogan has been voted the most appropriate out of nearly 2000 which were submitted - to the com mittee of. Judges. Rose Planting Day. Some time this week It is expected the Park Board will decide whether or not it will approve of a general rose planting day throughout the city, and a formal planting of roses 'by the public on the Plaza Park blocks. This matter was brought to the attention of the Board more than a week ago, and the delay in arriving at a decision has been due to the Board's inability to get into com munication with O. H. Olmstead, of Olm stead Bros., expert landscape gardeners and authors of the famous Olmstead Park and boulevard plan. ' Should the Board approve of this pro ject, it is believed that "Rose Planting Day" will prove one of the best ad vertising plana for the Rose City yet devised, particularly when it can be demonstrated to Eastern people that Port land can plant flowers by the wholesale, even as late as the middle of November, which will probably be the time set for rose planting, in case the scheme Is In dorsed. Summed up briefly, for the. benefit of those who will be called upon to open wide their purses and check books, today and tomorrow, the Festival Association desires to call attention to some of the most important attractions which the Festival will endeavor to have as induce ments for large crowds, not only from the Coast but from everywhere, to be here at that time: Some of the Attractions. President Roosevelt as chief guest of honor. Admiral "Fighting Bob" Evans, as guest of honor, with a magnificent fleet of war ships, the greatest aggregation of sea nghters ever mobilized in Pacific waters. Governors and staffs from all Western states. Governor of Hawaii, with territorial officials, and delegation of business men. California State Board of Trade, with affiliated Boards of Trade from the chief cities of the Southern state. New York Symphony Orchestra, Walter Damrosch director, the greatest musical aggregation that ever crossed the con tinent. A number of other attractions of signal Importance, that are now being arranged for. It is for the purpose of providing a fit environment, or local setting, for such attractions, that the Festival Associa tion Is making its earnest appeal for J100.000. To entertain fittingly such dis tinguished guests and celebrities, expendi tures must be on a lavish and unstinted basis, and the sum asked for is not re garded as being one' cent too much. If anything, it Is considered by the men be lling the Festival as altogether e most modest estimate, and that every penny of that must be prudently and wisely ex pended, if the proposed plans are to be consummated. NO WINTER BALL GAMES National Commission Refuses to Meet California State League. CHICAGO. Oct. 13. There will be no Winter games between the California State League and the major league clubs. This point was ruled upon by the Na tional Baseball Commission at its meet ing this afternoon on a contention raised by the Pacific Coast League. The Cali fornia State League, which is an "out law," desired to arrange a series of games with Eastern clubs, between the regular baseball seasons. The practice of "farming" out players was also given its death blow by a decision of the Com mission to revise the rules governing sales with options for recall of players so as to provide that all such options in either major or minor leagues should be made by August 20 of each year and the players required to report at once to the club exercising the option, with the fur ther provision that no club could enter Into such contract with options for recall more than once for the same players.

SOME STARTLING EVIDENCES OF DISTANCE only 20 minutes' walk down town Strange as it may appear, and in teresting, as well, a few moments with the map of Portland will re veal many startling truths about the distance of Ladd's Addition from the landmarks of the city. Ladd's Addition is actually nearer to First and Washington streets than King's Heights. From the west end of the Morrison-street bridge to Ladd's Addition is a shorter distance than from the same point to the Union Depot.

Many other comparisons in distance could be made that would show Ladd's Addition one of the most favored locations in the city. Its magnificent conveniences in'this respect make Ladd's Addition, with out question, an unusualy desirable place for the erection of a home.
