Other Cities-Recognize Value of Tills Sort of Advertising Tour ists to Be Invited. Klamath Falls Is likely to be the first of the communities of Oregon to arrange for the entrance of a floral float In the "all-Oregon" parade of the next annual Rose Festival. Judpe George T. Bald win, one of the leading business men of that region. Is In the city and has as sured the festival management that he will do all he can to persuade the Klamath Falls Chamber of Commerce to send another float here. Baldwin says he believes the Klamath Falls float of last year wus about as good advertising as his district ever had. Letters to the same effect have been received from a number of cities and towns of the state which found this form of advertising most effective. The New York State Society of Port land has consented to use its best In fluence to bring tourists of the Empire State here for the festival. The roster of the organization will be checked up within a very short time and former cit izens of New York will be urged to send personal invitation to their friends in their old home to come out to Portland in time to take in the festival and the Seattle fair. In the list already submit ted. Brooklyn, JTew York, Albany, Syra cuse, Buffalo. Blnghamton. Rochester. Troy and a number of other cities have ibeA included. Complete lists of festi val literature will be Bent to these towns through the society, and the other state 'societies' which have organizations in (Portland will be aaketf to follow this jcxample. Missouri. Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania are particularly strong in the Northwest. The committee which is planning for the "Rose Planting Day" celebration of February 22. will meet tonight and will outline full details of the programme to' be carried out. It is not likely that an effort will be made to. set out a great variety of the "queen of flowers. but that a number of distinguished people will take part In the ceremonies which will be held. It is now planned to plant about 100 bushes on Washington s birth day and, if possible, to have the school children appear In large numbers as a fitting observance of the anniversary of the great President, Just as was done a year ago. ONCE RICH, HE DIES POOR Augustas Griffin, Pioneer of Bel lingham, Claimed by Death. BELLIXGHAM, Wash., Feb. 8. Au gustus Griffin, four times a millionaire an four times' a bankrupt, a pioneer of Whatcom County, died here today, aged 87 years. ; Griffin made a fortune In- the early '60s in San Francisco, and wa rated as a millionaire. Taking his wealth to Chicago, he erected the first of the great elevator systems of that city, and was wiped out in the great fire of 1872. He turned his attention to the oil busi ness in Western Pennsylvania, and in 1878 was one of Pittsburg's big oil magnates. Competition with the Rockefellers later forced Mm into bankruptcy, and he came West in .1855. securing 400 acres of land on which Bellingham now stands. He also founded the City of Femdale, this county. The panic of 1894 again wiped him out, and he died today in comparative poverty.

CHARTER TO GOTO COUNCIL FIXISHIXG TOUCHES TO BE PUT OX TODAY. Little Doubt That Report Will Be Adopted and Special Election Called to Ratify. I A final meeting of the Charter Board will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon In the City Council chambers, when the finishing touches will be put upon the proposed charter, which the 15 mem bers have been working on for several months. The amendments will be sub mitted to the Council tomorrow morn ing in the form ot a report, the Board being a committee authorized by the Council for the purpose it has just finished. At this time there seems no doubt the proposed charter, which largely fol lows the Des Moines commission form of city government, will be accepted by the Council and ordered placed on the ballot, and that a special election will be called for some date prior to the pri mary election, April "23. At the special election the people will vote for or against the proposed charter. It wyi he necessary that thia course be fol lowed, because, at the primaries, it will be required that ballots be cast In ac cordance with the charter that Is to govern the city. If the new charter is adopted by the electors, it will mean a complete revolution in the manner of holding elections, and the city officers will be different. For example, there will be but six Councilmen, all at large. to elect. If the present charter holds, which would result if the new one should be defeated. It will be necessary to elect 15 Councilmen, as required now. At the meeting of the committee on judiciary yesterday afternoon City Au ditor Barbur explained that it would be necessary Boon. for his office to begin preparations for handling the special election. Considerable printed matter will be required, and judges and clerks of election must be notified; tents and booths must be arranged, and all mat ters Incident to an election put In order. Therefore, the committee will recom mend to the Council at tomorrow's ses sion that the Auditor be authorized to go ahead. Great interest Is being manifested in the proposed charter, and much com ment is being made upon its various features. ' The most-talked-of portions of the draft are its centralization of power into the hands of a Mayor and six Councilmen; the large Increase In various salaried positions, and the greatly Increased power of heads of de partments to discharge employes under the classified civil service lists. That the City Council will send the proposed charter to the electors for final decision is said to be certain. It is thought no changes Will be made In its provisions, but that it will stand s It Is submitted by the Charter Board. Class Number of the Lens Is Out East Side HlRh School Journal Reflects Credit on Those Who Prepared It. THE long-awaited class number of the East Side High School Lens has ap peared, and In every way It comes up to the expectations of its readers. This issue was prepared by members of the Feb ruary. '09. graduating class of the East Portland High School, and it caets much credit upon those who prepared it. In this number there are individual photo graphs of the., members of the class, ac companied by the school tlography of the graduates. This biography Is very In teresting. Another of Landerholm's excellent car toons appears in this Issue, and also a picture of his. entitled, "Roses of Feb ruary. '09." which any artist might well be proud of. New headings for the "Un der the Lens" debating and sporting col umns appear, which are also pieces of art done by the renowned Linderholm, class artist. Ruth Owen, the assistant class artist, has made some headings which are both attractive and appropriate. Although there are numerous ways In which class prophe cies have been written, any one would en joy reading the class prophecy in this Lens, which Is entitled "A Visit to Hades." The editorial column is in very good shape and it Is worth while to read every editorial in it. As usual, there are no names signed to these editorials, but it Is easy to see that they were done by some level-headed writers. There are several good stories to be found among the numerous other good things In this Lens. "Heliotrope," "A Plain-Dress Graduation" and "The Bone yard" are stories which cannot help but receive much praise. Another feature is the number of full page illustrations which this paper con tains. There are photographs of the Eukrineons. the Phrenodisens, the Cam era Club, the football team, and the Lens staff, besides the individual pictures of the graduates. In fact, this Lens Is up to TO SHIPPERS! Send us all of your chickens, both hens and - springs, alive or dressed. We are using unlimited quantities.
