THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1909. 11 IE OUT FOR ROSE WEEK Revised List of Events for Five Busy Days Issued by Fes tival Association. PLANS FOR 'HOME-COMING Returning Sons and Daughters of Portland to Be Welcomed Mon day Night With Brilliant Street Pageant. By glancing over the programme which Is appended herewith Portlanders and those who are to be their guests will readily see that there will be- little chance for ennui during the week of the third annual Rose Festival, which will dawn with Monday. This programme is the revised and final form. It was Issued from the Rose Festival headquarters yesterday afternoon, and If there are any further changes they will be of a minor nature. So it Is safe to study the list and plan out next week accordingly. In making the programme It has been taken into account that ordinary mortals have to eat occasionally and that a few hours' sleep now and then may be of profit.. Otherwise there will be found no hiatus In the long train of delightful, marvel ous and exhilarating features which have been provided for. Here Is the list: Monday, June 7. "Home coming day" General Decoration: "Feast of Laoterns." Nijcht pageant, mil itary and fraternal societies; arrival of "Spirit du Carnival." Tuesday, June 8.

Roses Bloom by Thousands. Not only the populace but the weather has now been taken by the infectious spirit of the coming festival, and with the warm sunshine bringing countless thousands of finest blooms into life and the populace hard at work on plans for decorations and participation, a suc cess that will measure up to the fondest expectations of the most -exacting is definitely assured. Half enough roses to bury Mount Hood under have come out within the past few days. Every hour Is adding to the supply. There will be enough for every purpose of lavish decoration and more. The weather, as it has de veloped this week, could hardly be doing better If the festival management had it on salary. "Home-Coming Day" Plans. The "Home-Coming Day" committee of the Rose Festival met yesterday after noon and furthered plans for the spec tacular parade which is to usher In the big demonstration. General Flnzer, grand marshal of the street pageant, will cover the line of march of the procession this afternoon with Superin Intendtnt Cooper, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. Chairman Seneca Fouts and Grand Marshal Flnzer are working out the problem of formation and position in the big marching column. They will announce details of the parade as soon as they have completed details. From 50 to 60 torchbearers and at tendants carrying the red fire and other illuminating effects are to be secured, and it is expected that most of these will be supplied by the local Y. M. C. A. Conference with the latter organization will be held at 1:30 o'clock this after noon. The "Home-Coming Day" parade will be more than one mile in length and seven bands. Including the military hand of the Third Regiment, Oregon National Guard, will take part. KAST MORRISON TO BE READY Thoroughfare to Be Completed for lecorated Automobile Parade. The East Side Business Men's Associ ation has been assured by the contract ors in charge of the improvement of Kast Morrison from Water street to Grand avenue that the pavement will be in place by the close of this week. The pavers have been dilatory and have apparently been trying to shirk re sponsibility for the early fulfillment of their contract. They would probably have been able to "pass up" the Job entirely until after the Festival if the Kast Slders had not forced them to become active and live up to the terms of their contract. One of the conditions which was re quired In order to route the great au tomobile parade over the Kast Side as well as through the West Side district, was that all streets over which the motor cars might run would be put into shape. Unless Kast Morrlosn is properly repaired, this parade, the long est and probably the most gorgeously decorated of them all. would not be ahle to be sent over the East Side at all. "With the street In question dressed up and repaired, the motorcar pageant will be able to negotiate the 26 or 80 blocks across the river which are In cluded in the line of march. This parade will be several miles in length and will cover close to 25 miles of route on both sides of the river. ROSES FOR PRESIDENT'S WIFE splendid Bouquet Dispatched to Mrs. Taft by Festival Association. One of the largest bouquets of Port land roses ever prepared was shipped PROGHAMM yesterday to William H. Taft, Presi dent of the United States, as an offer ing of good will from the Portland Rose festival Association. Dozen's of the most beautiful blooms that were to be had from the amateur rosarians of the city were gateherd by Clarke Bros, who packed the flowers and sent them to a leading floral firm in Washington, D. C., where they are to be revived be fore being conveyed to the White House by United states Senators Bourne ana Chamberlain. The roses are the Madame Caroline Testout variety the official" flower of Portland, and they will be presented to the Nation's chief, Just before noon next Monday, the date of the opening of the Third Annual Rose Festival. Immediately following the presenta of the bouquet. President Taft will touch the button which will send the message of greeting to Portland over the Postal wires, announcing the formal begin ning of the floral delebratton of 1909. The principal point of interest in connection with giving President Taft a bouquet of Portland roses is that this is the first time in the history of the United States that an attempt has been made to ship flowers from the Pacific Slope to the Atlantic Seaboard. Grants Pass Chooses Queen. GRANTS PASS. Or., June 2. (Special.) The contest for queen of the Grants Pass float during the Rose Festival in TWO OF LEADING CANDIDATES FOB.

(Oakland Tribune, May 19, 1909.) CIEIVELAN-n. May 19. The United States Telephone Company today failed In its attempt to secure legal relief from the alleged inroads made upon its long distance agreement with the local inde pendent companies by the Bell concerns. The petition filed by the United States Company asking a temporary injunction restraining affiliates of the Bell Company from alleged attempts to Induce the in dependent companies to violate their ex isting 99-year contracts for long distance service was refused by Judge Taylor, of the. United States Supreme Court. The Bell companies named in the peti tion were the American Telephone Com pany and the Central Union Telegraph Company. The concerns were charged in the petition with operating a trust in re straint of trade. That the decision given by Judge Tay lor sounds like a death-knell of the In dependent companies is the opinion of a Central Union official, who said today: "The independents have wrought their own destruction. There is not the least doubt in our minds that the end of the telephone competition is In sight. They have brought this suit In a last attempt to save themselves. As every telephone man knows, it was the long distance busi ness that keeps the independents alive." Hibernians' Moonlight Picnic.

THE ONLY "BREAKFAST CEREAL " MADE IN BISCUIT FORM MiraiuiiiiiiiiiniiiiinfflnM SMALL BOY DROWNS Edward Tramblay Falls From Plank Into River. NO ATTEMPT AT RESCUE Lads, Whom He Had Been Watching, Swim to Bank in Fright and Men in Boat Ignore Cries Body Recovered by Brother. Xft by both city and county officials at the bottom of the Willamette River, the body of -year-old Edward Tramblay, son of H. Tramblay, a laborer, who lives at 193 Lincoln street, who was drowned yesterday afternoon, was found by a brother only a few years older than him self three hours after he perished near the Jefferson street depot. The little fellow met his death while watching a crowd of his associates swim ming in the river at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He ventured too far out on a plank which hung over the river and was precipitated into the water. The boys in the river became scared at his cries and swam to the bank. Two men in a boat only a short distance from the drowning lad gave no heed to his cries for help. News of the tragedy was reported to police headquarters, and Captain Aloore stated that the city had no implements for dredging the river, and referred the case to the County Coroner. He like wise failed to make an effort to recover the body. When the body was found it was taken to the morgue of Dunning, Mc Entee & Gilbaugh. The little fellow Is one of many hun dreds of boys who live near the water front and whose lives are risked daily in the water or around old buildings which extend over the water. In the district in which the drowning occurred nearly all the families are poor foreign ers. Since the warm weather of the past few days the boys have been swimming in the river, many of them as young as 6 years. This Is the first tragedy OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something. The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other tftnes neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once. He says: "Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak I could scarcely walk. "One day I was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Nei&rhbor XSliri nho Irnonr Int. . - . - ' ...... .. .ubc u . cupin to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial. I did not take her ad vice right away but tried a change of climate which did not do me any good. Then I dropped coffee and took up Postum. "My improvement began immediately and I got better every day I used Postum. "My bowels became regular and in two weeks all my pains were gone. Now I am well and strong and can eat anything I want to without distress. All of this !s due to my having quit coffee, and to the use of Postum regu larly. "My son who was troubled with Indi gestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again. "We like Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family In place of coffee and all keep well." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read tne above letter f A new one appears Cram time to time. They are Kenuine, true, and full of human Interest. always ready for if you have reported, but a similar one may be ex pected at any time, say people who live In that section of the city. This condi tion Is a direct result, it is said, of the closing of the free swimming baths. "While the search for the body of young Tramblay was In progress a crowd stood on the bank and watched. A sister of the drowned boy, about 11 years old, was on the bank and when the body was pulled up to the surface it was with dif ficulty that she was restrained from Jumping into the water. For a time it looked as if no search for the body would be made last night. H. Tramblay, father of the boy, and an older son are at work in Vancouver. The boy's mother, a slight, dark-eyed French woman, was prostrated with grief at the news of her son's death. With a few neighbor boys an older brother, who is about 14 years of age. rigged up a hook and pole and went to the place where Edward was seen to sink and after searching for an hour and a half the body was found.
