Blessing of roses. Portland will observe its third annual "rose-planting" fete at City Park, Tues day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. It will be much more imposing than any former ceremony since the era of annual Rose Festivals began. This year, the affair will be of International sigiflcance. It has been worked out along more elab orate lines than was dreamed possible when the management formulated its Ideas last Fall. Every Consular representative in the city Joined with the Rose Society to give the plan world-wide prominence when it was suggested last November. The scheme as first developed was that inasmuch as the rose is indigenous to practically every country in the temper ate zone and to most of those in the sub-torrid zone, it might be possible to enlist the support of the many , foreign rations which have commercial repre sentatives stationed here. The Idea was adopted and during the past three months the energetic coterie of Consuls have been appealing to their for eign offices to present to Portland a number of home-grown rose bushes to be planted here on the officially designated occasion Washington's birthday. Consuls All Give Roses. Success of this brilliant and compre hensive, plan i3 assured, for nearly all of the Consuls located in Portland have succeeded in securing roses from their home country and without exception the foreign offices of these nations have ex pressed warm indorsement of the idea not only from the sentimental standpoint but from the standpoint of the closer feeling of commercial exchange which the idea will develop. Details of the celebration have been completed and yesterday afternoon the representatives' of the foreign nations which have sent shipments of roses to Portland met with the Rose Festival management for the purpose of arrang ing the part each Is to play Tuesday aft ernoon. Aside from 'the fact that the interna tional feature of the occasion will cement the feeling of good-fellowship between this city and the countries with which it has .intimate relationship, the plan will mean the introduction of a great many varieties of roses that this section of the United States knows little about. The Consuls themselves have agreed to set out the roses in the specially prepared plot in City Park, and as each consigns the native rose to its bed of earth an address will be made expressive of the enterprise Portland has shown in estab lishing itself as the greatest city of roses in-the world. Japan Sends Most Bushes. Japan leads in the number of rose, trees sent here, for there are liO bushes in the shipment. They are of the red and white varieties, and will be set out in such a wav as to form a perfect Japan ese flag, the design of which is the "sun- ' rise," with red roses in the center and the same tint forming the rays, while the field of the flag will be in roses of purest white. Other nations which will take part are: Ureat Britain, Germany. France. Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, China, and others still hope to Irear from home before the official planting begins, The official programme will Include a series of musical numbers by Rosebrook s band, which will play the National airs of each country as the roses are planted, Following the opening musical numbers Dr. Emmett Drake, president of the Rose Society, will make a brief speech setting forth the history and purposes of the "rose planting" idea. Governor Benson will then speak for the state of Oregon and will greet officially the foreign na tlons which are to take part. Short talks from the Consuls as they spade the earth and plant their native rose will come next, and Mayor Simon is to follow with an address on behalf of the city. The blessing of the roses will close the pro gramme. The numerous interests that are to take part will meet at the Oregon Hotel at 1:15 o'clock In the afternoon, and will go from there to City Park by automobiles, where the programme will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock.

The hotels and railroad officials assisted appreciably in the purchase of the cards while the Commercial Club has planned to see that every member and guest who dines at the club on Washington's birth day is provided with a card. While the cards are to be signed per sonally by every one who buys them and mailed to friends and relatives all over the country, the return feature has added publicity advantage in that every person who sends back the return portion 01 me invitation will be placed on the regular mailing list of the Rose Festival and will be supplied with a fac-slmlle of the official poster, with the special reduced railroad rates and with all other litera ture got out by the Festival between now and next June.

Cry for $25,50 by Job Printing Com-f - A unlform programme for all the positora Met With. Compro mise Offer , of $24. Compositors employed in the job print ing offices or tnis city aeciuea m meeting yesterday not to insist on their demands for an increased wage for an other week. The local organization expects to re ceive definite instructions from the of ficers of the International Typographical Union by which their course will be governed. There are about 100 of these employes in the city and they are asking for an increase from $22.50 to $25.50 a week. Employing printers will be notified today of this action. In February 1907, the. Job compositors signed an agreement with the majority of the employing printers on a Dasis oi $22.50 a week. The three years expired yesterday. Early In December the com positors served notice that wltn tne ex piration of their old contract they would instet on a new scale of $25.50. Respond ing to this notice the employing printers held a meeting and decided to submit a compromise. It was agreed to sign, a scale for $24 a week and the compositors were so advised. That is the, status to date of the negotiations between the em ployers and their employes. In support of their demand for an increase of $3 a week, the compositors say that the requested advance will only bring the Portland scale up to that paid the same class of - workmen in Tacoma and Seattle. Tho employers, on the other hand, assert that the com petitive conditions under which they are operating are such that their compro mise proposition of $24 is the maximum scale that business conditions will permit. POSTCARD CAMPAIGN SUCCESS Entire Issue of 50,000 Return Post als Has Been Sold. A most successful publicity campaign was closed Saturday night. It was con ducted by an enthusiastic group of wo men. Last Tuesday the feminine members of the Portland Rose Society started on a canvass of the business district to sell 50.000 return-card Invitations to the fourth annual Rose Festival, which takes place in June. The committee went to work with a will and when it had turned in Its final report it was found that the entire Issue of cards had been disposed of within five days. "I know of no advertising campaign that Portland has ever engaged in that has been carried on with such signal success as this one has," said President PLEA MADE FOR RICH MEN Wallace McCamant Deplores Ten dency of Legislation. Deploring the present reformatory trend of public sentiment and making an earnest plea for conservatism in public af fail's. Wallace McCamant, a Portland attorney, made quite the most remark able address heard in the People's Forum in many months at last night's meeting. "The Gospel of Conservatism," was the subject chosen by the speaker. That the time has come when a rich man cannot secure his rights under the law. the same being true of large busi ness interests, was one statement the speaker made. Another was an attack on the Jaw-authorizing the establishment of the Oregon Railroad Commission, passed by the legislature in 1907. Mr. McCamant cited these instances to illustrate the trend of public sentiment, which he attributed to the "muck-raking" articles In- the newspapers and magazines during the past few years. Many persons In the audience took issue with the views of the attorney after he had concluded and for fully half an hour the atmosphere in the room arose in temperature with great rapidity. Next Sunday evening the opposite side of the question will be formally discussed by W. S. U'Ren. of Oregon City. The greatest danger from influenza is of its resulting in pneumonia.

All friends of the Oregon branch of the order are extended an invitation to par ticipate in the celebration. An interest ing feature of the evening will be post prandial remarks by several prominent members of the society. The addresses so far arranged are: "Childhood and Youth of Washington," by W. D. Fenton; "Patriotic Endeavor." by Judge R. S. Bean; "Washington's Platform," by D. Soils Cohen; "General Principles," by W. W. Cotton: "The Original American," by Edgar B. Piper. Tickets for the banquet may be had of Compatriot Oberteuffer in the Colum bia building. Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., took Washing ton's life as the subject of his sermon at the Unitarian church last night, speaking of his visit to Bunker Hill, Mt Vernon and Washing-ton's- tomb, The speaker referred to Washington as a man of violent passions, which he learned admirably, to control. "He lacked the sense of humor which kept Lincoln sane," said - Mr. Eliot, "for Washington was kept sane by the pos sibility for Inward wrath." He con tinued as follows: "If we follow Washington through the period of the war we shall find the source of his worst trouble was not with his nominal enemies, but with his nominal friends. The bitterness of his life was the clamoring of his people for victory and their refusal at the time to furnish the means which would make victory possible. What Country Owes Washington. "There have been those who said there was nothing original or genius-like in George Washington's statesmanship. Genius is all right In its place. A poet may be all right as a dreamer, but he is out of place as captain of a vessel. It may have been all right that there were poets and editors in Washington's day, and that they had ideas to put for ward. But Washington wa3 the captain of the vessel. Throughout his career as commander of the Army and as President of the United States he was almost er rorless in his judgment of the qualities and abilities of men. This is no small virtue for the head of a nation. He had power also, in war and in peace, to stand firmly against what would almost have broken down any other man: the distrust of those who. should have been supporting him with heart and soul. He was charged at one time, even by Jefferson with de siring a monarchy of which he should be the king. Washington was the stay ing force of the first period of our Na tional life. At times the destiny of the Nation hung upon his immovable will alone. "What would Washington do were he living today? When he lived he would take a glass of wine occasionally. May be today he wouldn't. Maybe he would come to the conclusion that on moral and scientific grounds It is better to take no liquor at all. "There can be no question as to what George Washington's attitude would be Hie G reaier tvjieier 1 W ore s Av tation sase Start ON ITS SECOND S AND LAST WEEK riii Brief Mention of a Few of This Week's Many Attractions Wall Paper and Draperies We are showing handsome designs, for Spring, 1010, in medium and high grade Wall "Papers.

I have never yet been in a city where I felt that the City Council was disin terested.

Not only ls It rare with City Councils, but in Legislatures and in Congress, tie specting public morals and social ques tions. Washington was an example whom we would do well to keep in mind. LOWER VALUATION SOUGHT lumbermen Ask Timber Assessed at 30, instead of 60 Fer Cent. SOUTH BEND. Or.. Feb. 20. (Spe cial.) Timber and mill owners of this harbor called on County- Assessor H. A. Peeples, Saturday with the purpose of inducing him to assess, timber lands at 30 per cent of actual value. Instead of at 60 per cent, as agreed upon at the County Assessors' state conven tion. Mr. Peeples finally agreed to the lower rate, provided 75 per cent' of the taxpayers signify their satisfaction with such rate. The mill and timber owners believe such a sentiment can easily be brought about "Ship It to Me" SAYS SMITH Smith wants every dressed veal and nog in the country. He never, charges commission.
