18 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1914. FINAL 'CLEANUP' AIM Nine Clubs to Give Day to Col lecting Rose Festival Fund. FINISH ON MONDAY INTENT Previous Contributors, Xumbering 450 Who Have Not Yet Extended Aid to 1914 Fete, Are to Be Seen on Dash for Cash. Next Monday will be the city-wide "clean-up day" for the balance of the fund needed to stage the coming Rose Festival on the magnificent scale out lined by the board of governors. This move was decided' yesterday at a meeting at the Commercial Club of nearly 60 representatives of nine of the most vigorous business clubs of the city, each of which is pledged to put as many men into the field on the day set as may be required to go over the entire territory that has not yet been reached. This is the first occasion in the his tory of Portland that such a compre hensive group of associations repre senting every line of business activity In the city has enlisted in a cause like this. There are about 450 business houses, firms and public-spirited individuals that have subscribed to former festival support, but who have failed to make any donations for the 1914 show. Total of $55,000 Possible. These delinquent contributors repre sent contributions aggregating about $20,000, and if only the same amount is secured in renewals as was donated by these supporters in former years, the grand total for the next June cele bration will reach approximately ?55,- 000. At the present time the Festival ras received a trifle over $30,000 and about $5000 more has been pledged. The budget as made out to cover the detailed programme of the Festival calls for an expenditure of $54,000 and this allows only a comparatively small sum for street decorations. It is strongly urged by President Colt that every dollar possible be rounded up so that Portland may make the finest showing in a decorative way in the en tire history of the Festival movement. Special Committees Aid. The nine organizations which will conduct the financial campaign Mon day are as follows: Ad Club, Rotary Club, Royal Rosarians, Progressive Business Men's Club, Employers' Asso ciation, East Side Business Men's Club, Realty Board, Electrical Association and the Transportation Club. Each one has a special Rose Festival committee of five members appointed. which are subject to the call of the board of governors for any purpose needed, but this number will be In creased for the present emergency. The meeting yesterday was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings that lias been held under the auspices of the reorganized Festival backers. will meet this year May 19, SO, 21 and 22, in the 41st session at Monmouth, one week later than originally pro posed, in order not to conflict with the primaries.

INSKEEP PLACED SECOND Major Albee Announces lie Will Ap point Leaders on List. Although the Municipal Civil Service Board has rated policemen who took the recent examination for captains of police. Chief pf Police Clark will be frlven an opportunity to change the ratings if he desires. George Caldwell, chairman of the Civil Service Board, said yesterday that if Chief Clark is willing to give each policeman a rating on recommendation, the board will al low the rating. It will not, however, allow the Chief to recommend only two applicants and ignore the others, as was done by the Chief originally. The Chief gave Leon V. Jenkins and C. A. Inskeep each a. rating of 10 points on recommendation and ignored the others. If this rating had been al lowed these two men would have head ed the list in the examination, but the Civil Service Board overruled the rec ommendation and Harry Circle was at the head of the list and Mr. Inskeep second. It is said Chief Clark can place Inskeep and Jenkins at the top of the list -by giving them a recommendation of 10 points and the others two or three points each. Mayor Albee has . an nounced he will appoint the two men at the top of the. list, whoever they are. CHANGING ROUTES URGED East Burnside District Improvement Body Makes Suggestions. By routing the Russell-Shaver cars on Union avenue, from Holladay avenue to East Burnside street, and thence south on Grand avenue, and by routing the Montavilla cars over the Burnside bridge, the East Burnside District Im provement Association suggests that conditions can be improved. It is urged that by routing the Russell-Shaver cars on Union avenue to East Burnside, go ing north and south, it will re-establish a transfer point at Union avenue and East Burnside street, which was eliminated when the Alberta and Wood lawn cars were removed from Burnside bridge. It is also suggested that the Montavilla cars be routed over the Burnside bridge, going west, and return by way of Morrison bridge, forming a loop by way of Fifth and Morrison streets. A committee from the club will submit these changes to the street railway company. There is no hope of getting either the Woodlawn or Alberta cars back on the Burnside bridge, as the patrons of those lines oppose any further change. HOME FOR PAT SOUGHT Humane Society Has Auction of City Horse Deferred. While a crowd of men waited at the city barns yesterday to take part in the auction of Pat, the big fire horse that is to bo sold because he bites, officials of the Oregon Humane Socity interposed objections to the sale and succeeded in getting it postponed. The society officials want to try to find a home for Pat where he will be well treated. They say If he Is sold at auc tion someone will get him and beat him to death. The Humane Society also wants to use Pat at an exhibition to be held soon to show the good the society is dolns for dumb animals. Pat's part in the affair will be to perform some tricks taught him by Dr. D. B. Boyd, who had him for three weeks trying to break him of his biting habit. GRANGE SESSION BILLED Date Postponed So as Xot to Conflict With Primaries. C. E. Spence, C. L. Shaw and B. G. Leedy. executive committee of the State Grange, announce that the State Grange "The Last Rose of - Summer" Ballad That Always Will -Be Identified With Divine Vocal Int. There was a time, and it is not en tirely passed, when to mention prima donnas you would Instantly think of Adelina Pattl. She was born in Madrid, Spain, and her parents were operatic singers of Italian ancestry. She first sang at an early age In New York, but her. fame was secure after her first appearance in London, and from that time she held high rank as one of the first singers of the day. The rich bell like quality of her voice and remark able evenness of tone had a range as a high soprano never surpassed,, and her cadenzas and trills were the de light of her admirers. Equally at home in tragic tenderness of grand opera or vivacity of comedy, or stateliness of oratorio, Adelina Pattl will owe much of her fame to the way and manner in which she sang "Comln Through the Rye, although her greatest success was "Marguerite," In Gounod's "Faust." Year after year she continued to make farewell tours In America, and year after year she sang the sweet Scotch ballads with all the fervor of Latin blood. She lived in a castle in Wales in the mature years, where she de lighted to sing for friends, and on spe cial occasions for charity. The divine Pattl never underestimated the value of the songs that touched the heart. "The Last Rose of Summer" is a song that will always be identified . with Patti. "Comin" Thro" the Rye" and "When to Thy Vision," from Gounod's "Faust,-" both are to be found in "Heart Songs," the book now being offered to the readers of this paper at cost of dis tribution and six coupons. "The Last Rose of Summer" is to be found on page 146 of the volume, and is only one of the many favorites of Patti that render the book a possession that should be one of the treasures to be found in every home. Adv. y WASHIMGTO-V DAIRYMEN. HOSTILE, REPORTS MR. DAVIS. Men of District That Sends Much Milk to Portland Oppose Inspection, Says Expert After Tour. Insanitary conditions in dairy barns throughout Southwestern Washington were found by C. R. Davis, a dairy in spetcor of Portland, and W. T. Bowman, an inspetcor of Washington, who re turned to the city yesterday from a two months' trip through the dairy district from which a large part of the Port land supply comes. Mr. Davis said he found stables dirty and the dairymen extremely hostile to the inspection service either of Oregon or Washington. "We visited 183 places," said Mr. Davis. "Out of this number 111 ship milk to Portland. Many were in ex tremely poor condition while others were moderately good. We found the dairymen unwilling to be friendly to inspectors, that fact being so emphatic that upon many occasions we were un able to find a place to eat or to put our horses over night. They didn't want inspectors about their places." Mr. Davis will prepare an extensive report which will be submitted to City Health Officer Marcellus, who will take steps necessary to better conditions. While Portland has no power to require the dairymen of Washington to clean up their places, it is said the problem can be solved by the city prohibiting the importation of any milk from that district unless the conditions are reme died in accordance with the ideas of the milk inspection forces here. PARK ENTRANCE PROMISED Temporary Drive From Xorth Side of Mount Tabor Park Planned. A temporary entrance to the north side of Mount Tabor for automobiles and vehicles will be provided this Spring for the general use of the park, according to a statement made by Su perintendent Mische in his address be fore the Mount Tabor Improvement Club at its last meeting. This will be by way of East Taylor, East Sixty- ninth and East Sixty-seventh streets. which will be graded and oiled up to the entrance, and which will permit all vehicles to reach the park boulevards from the north side. Later a perma nent entrance will be built from the north side. Mr. Mische also announced that play grounds would be installed on the north side of the park this year as was done last year. The driveways through the park are to be made smooth, but not macadamized this year. There are sev eral miles of driveways in the park winding around from the entrances. which will eventually be macadamized. TAR COAT BEING REMOVED City Has Force of Men Cleaning Fourth Street Surface. City Commissioner Dieck put a force of men to work yesterday scrap ing the tar off Fourth street and sprinkling the wood blocks with sand. Tiie heavy coating .of tar did not bother traffic until the warm weather started. Since then the tar has become an impediment, to all kinds of traffic. Many complaints have been made about the tar being tracked into build ings and doing damage to clothing and noors. Vast Throngs Economize at Meier & Frank's Every Article Reduced !
