THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1902.
HGROSESHOWTHISWEEK
WORK OF PREPARING THE GREAT
EXHIBIT SEAR AX EXD.
Display of Fine Roses Under Brill
iant Illumination Friday Evening:
Gorgeous Parade Saturday
Multnomah Field on Friday and Satur
day next will be a bower of roses. The
ladles in charge of this event are strain
ing every effort to make the rose show
par excellence ofthe year. Oregon as the
home of the rose in its greatest perfection
promises to outdo in its Tose show this
year the annual fiesta of Southern Cali
fornia, the land of flowers.
With the perennial brightness of its bud
ding flowers California possesses an at
traction which the energy and progres
sive spirit of that state have used to
excellent advantage for exploiting the
merits of what has become the greatest
resort for "Winter travel on the continent.
California with all Its attractions, how
ever, cannot produce the full-blown Ore
gon rose. No country in the world can
claim the special adaption to successful
rose culture that Western Oregon does.
At the height of the rose season this
year, some of the prominent ladles of
Portland propose to show what can be
done in the way of preparing a creditable
rose exhibit. This effort backed by the
support of practically the entire commu
nity, has crystallized Into the project of
holding the great Rose Show at Multno
mah Field on Friday and Saturday of this
This exhibit, so the ladles in charge beg
leave to Inform the people of Portland,
will not be any set arrangement of blos
soms, attractive in itself as such a dis
play of roses might be made to appear.
It will be more, much more than a. mere
display of flowers. The show will be some
thing of a social event, given under the
patronage of the leading families of the
city in which the owners of fine carriages
will vie with each other in the attract
iveness of their equipages, decked as
they will be with their profuse decora
tions of the finest of Oregon roses. The
parade will be a most attractive one, and
it will possess many features of unique
interest to the Portland public Hand
some prizes will be awarded for the best
decorations, and the parade at Multno
mah Field on Saturday afternoon next
will be one of the great events of the
season.
Imitations to attend the Rose Show
have been extended to Governor Geer,
Governor-elect Chamberlain, Mayor Rowe
and Mayor-elect "Williams. Governor-elect
Chamberlain has already accepted the In
vitation so cordially extended him, and
favorable responses are expected from the
other gentlemen today.
The Rose Show will open tomorrow. To
morrow afternoon and evening will per
haps be the best time to see the roses.
The Portland General Electric Company
have perfected plans for a brilliant illu
mination of the grounds on Friday and
Saturday nights. Hundreds of lamps will
be used in the electrical display, and this
feature will attract a large number of vis
itors. The display of roses under the
effects of the bright illumination on Fri
day night will be particularly Impressive.
Mr. Edward Shields, who during the past
two years has attained some distinction
throughout the East from his unique and
interesting outdoor exhibitions, will give
an entertainment at the Rose Show on
Friday evening. At that time- he will be
able to exhibit some of his latest moving
pictures of scenes that will prove of spe
cial interest to the Portland public
All Portland will see the great parade
of gaily decked carriages and smart traps
at the Rose Show on Saturday afternoon.
The award of prizes will be made follow
ing the parade. Refreshments will be
served on the grounds during the entire
time of the show. The serving of re
freshments will be In charge of the Port
land School of Domestic Science, a guar
antee In itself that this feature of the
great exhibit will not be slighted. As one
of the ladles at the head of the proposed
Hose Show said yesterday: We purpose
showing the Portland people and the large
number of visitors who are in the city at
the present time what our people can
accomplish In the way of growing fine
roses, and Just what Oregon can do to
wards the end of making a creditable
exhibit of our home flower. There is an
esthetic side to this question, continued
the fair speaker, that will make a spon
taneous appeal to the interest of every
one who loves the beautiful. The materi
alistic side, she added by way of conclu
sion, means much In any future effort we
may make to advertise Portland, and to
advance what may be considered the best
interests of the city.
The ladles of Portland make an urgent
appeal to all the people of the commu
nity to lend their best support to the
Hope Show this week. This may be con
sidered in the light of an initial effort to
wards making a creditable exhibit of
Oregon roses worthy of popular support
that will culminate in the Big Rose Show
of Portland in 1903. The great show in
3903 promises to be one of the most effect
ive advertisements that Oregon will re
ceive Incident to holding the promised
world's fair In this city. The event at
Multnomah Field this week will call for
the best patronage of the home people,
who have never failed to patronize any
creditable exhibit of large popular inter
est. The Rose Show will close on Saturday
night in a blaze of glory- On that even
ing there will be a full band concert and
other attractlonsthat will make a fitting
climax to an exhibit of the finest flowers
that will prove a fevelatlon to the Port-,
land people in the possibilities presented'
of making this one of the most beautiful
cities of the continent.
It will be pleasant news to the enor
mous number of persons who will be at
the rose show that Invitations to attend
have been accepted by Governor Geer and
Mayor Rowe, Governor-elect Chamberlain
and Mayor-elect Williams. They will all
be there on Saturday afternoon.
MRS. COLE-BETHEL TO COME
Distinguished Parliamentarian, at
Chautauqua, July 14-10.
With the Increased demand for trained
service has come the realization of how
meager have been the opportunities for
parliamentary study under competent
teachers on this Coast, though some of the
largo towns of California did, in 1894, en
joy the benefit of a course of instruction
from Mrs. Lilian Cole-Bethel, the dis
tinguished parliamentarian and author.
Oregon has never been so privileged un
til now, when the Chautauqua course will
embrace a series of lessons by Mrs.
Bethel, who needs no introduction to stu
dents of civil government or parliamen
tary law. Her question book on the lat
ter subject has reached a sale of over
40,000, and "Easy Lesson," on the former,
has attained almost the same high-water
mark, "being used as a text-book In many
of the states. It will be Interesting, how
ever, to know that in Mrs. Bethel's 10
years work she has taught in all save
six of the United States.
Many of the Eastern Chautauqua as
semblies have been favored by her in
structions. Her class at Lake Chautau
qua, N. Y., numbered 1500 members, and
for seven consecutive years she has been
employed by one Ohio college.
One of Mrs. Bethel's triumphs was her
drill at the woman's congress at the
Atlanta Exposition. When Mrs. Bethel
comes to Chautauqua she will have fin
ished 129 successive days' drills and in
structions in Washington and Idaho, and
will only tarry in Portland long enough
to fill her Chautauqua engagement. She
then goes to Alaska for a few weeks'
rest, to return to engagements running
into months in Montana and Dakota.
To be able to receive instructions from
so accomplished a parliamentarian is an
opportunity that may not again como this
way, and it is a study absolutely neces
sary in conducting business justly, right
eously,' and with expedition and fairness
to all.
Beginning: July 14, Mrs. Bethel -will give
instructions and drills every day during
the -week at the Chautauqua- Assembly,
Gladstone Park. A large tent has been
provided for the purpose.
On the afternoon of July 16, woman's
day, Mrs. Bethel will give a short talk
on "Madam President and Her Constituency."
BANKS OF GREAT CITIES.
Development of Loans and. Deposits
at Lending Points.
WASHINGTON, June 13. According to
the reports concerning the condition of
the National banks of the leading cities
of the country on April 3) last there ha&
not been a very large expansion In busi
ness as compared with the corresponding
reports for last year. The date of the re
reports was only two days apart la 1900
and 1901, but there is a difference of six
days between the dates for 1901 and 1902,
which makes a slight difference In the ac
curacy of the comparison under sub
stantially similar conditions as to the
seasons. The loans at New York show
only about $2,700,000 of increase as com
pared with a year ago, notwithstanding
that the loans for 1901 were $97,000,000
larger, than a year earlier. In the case of
other leading cities, like Philadelphia,
Chicago, Pittsburg, Cleveland and others,
there is, however, a larger increase. One
of the remarkable features noted in 1901
was the growth of loans and deposits at
Pittsburg, Cleveland, St. Loul and Kan
sas City. Pittsburg carried loans only
four years ago amounting to $50,432,769,
which have now risen to $96,504,618, as
compared .with $S5,G6?,9&6 in 1901, a flguro
HOW NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING HAS GROWN.
The total amount expended annually In newspaper advertising 50
years ago was considerably tinder $2,000,000, while last year no less
than $100,000,000 was so expended. In these 50 years the newspapers
hav.e proved their superiority over all other methods of advertising.
They have Increased vastly In numbers, In merit and In Individual
circulation. In the '50s the advertising agent was unknown and the
ad-writer was undreamed of. The editor was, usually, his own pro
prietor, publisher and business manager. He accepted advertising,
but he made no f us3 about ge ttlng it. He charged what he could
get. and had no regular scale of, prices, or certainly none to which
he had any thought of adhering. Then every paper was organ of
some" Individual or party, and was ruled" and governed from the edi
torial room. Now it is the business office that regulates and con
trols things. Of all the developments of the past 50 years none have
been so marvelous as those which are associated with the evolution
of the great 20th-century newspaper. (National Advertiser.)
which itself represented an increase of
about 70 per cent within three years.
Cleveland has not done so well within
the past year, rising only from $45,154,742 to
$15,655,364, which Indicates a cessation of
the great growth which took place be
tween 1899 and 1901, when loans rose from
$29,674,913 to $45".154,742. The growth atSt.
Louis, which was slow during the first
two years after the panic, has of late
years been very marked, keeping pace In
nearly equal proportion with Pittsburg
and Cleveland from 189S to 1899 and sur
passing the former during the past year.
Kansas City has advanced from small be
ginnings with loans of $19,440,991 to $34,135,
343 by the latest report. In the following
table the volume of loans at the leading
cities of the country at the date of the
April report during the past three years'
has been compiled:

In Individual deposits the returns for
New York show no Important tendency to
advance. Four years ago the National
banks of New York carried individual de
posits of $386,405.34L This amount rose on
April 26 1900. to $434,190,054, and on April
24, 1901. 'to $59S,130.15. For April SO just
past the returns show only $600,393,724.
Thus the Increase of $212,000,000, or more
than 55 per cent, which took place be
tween 1S9S and 1901 seems to have come
to an abrupt close. In a similar way
Boston even shows a falling off, its de
posits having declined by nearly $3,000,000
during the past year. The same cannot be
said of some other places Chicago, for
example, whose deposits Increased from
$97,790,681 to $116,19,529 between April 25,
1900, and April 24, 1901, shows a corre
sponding increase to $131,453,494 on April
30, 1902. So, too, in St. Louis, the Increase
was from $30,276,377 in 1900 to $38,830,474 in
190L and to $46,78S,813 in 1902. Milwaukee's
deposits grew from $23,840,930 in 1900 to
$26,647,339 in 1901 and to $27,782,398 in 1902.
But iri Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati,
St Paul, Detroit, Brooklyn and Albany
the situation is either unchanged or else
the returns for deposits show a distinct
falling off In many cases this decline
must be explained simply as a reaction
from what was a partly speculative in
crease during the two or three years
which have Just gone by. This Is par
ticularly true In view of the fact that the
National banking system is steadily grow
ing, the annual number of organizations
being very considerable. Just here, how
ever. It should be remembered that a
large part of the organizations are tak
ing place in the country and in the smaller
cities, and that there eeems to be a ten
dency to hold deposits more largely on the
books of home banks in the smaller
towns. The following table exhibits the
individual deposits in the leading cities of
the country by the Spring reports for the
past three years:

Farmers generally Are Disposed to
Malce Rfsht of Way Concessions
In Order to Get Rood.
J. Stone, of Stone & Rodland, who op
erate a sawmill about three miles from
Pleasant Home, was In the city yester
day. He said that he had no doubt but
that the proposed electric railway will
be built out through that district, and
that It will pay big money on the invest
ment. Mr. Stone has operated a sawmill
In that district for a number of years. He
helped to build the headworks of the Bull
Run waterworks, and la familiar with
the country. In speaking of the proposed
trolley line yesterday, Mr. Stone slid:
"The railway company has a camp of
surveyors near my sawmill, and from
conversation with the men I should judge
that the final object is to construct a line
to Mount Hood. They talked to me about
the establishment of a. resort. The farm
ers generally are disposed to make con
cessions in order to get this railway con
nection with Portland, but there are many
who are opposed to making concessions.
The committee on right of way appointed
at the railroad meeting held at Greshim
last Saturday evening Is trying to over
come opposition and adjust the difference
so that the right of way will be secured.
The company wants a 100-foot right of
way, which takes a good deal of land.
Some of the farmers owning 40 and 50
acres are willing to give the strip required
for the- railway, but others owning 100
acres and more are opposed and will not
givo anything. Those who do not give, of
course, will derive as much benefit as
those who do, and It Is a little unjust to
pay the former. There has been talk of
raising money among those who will be
Indirectly benefited, but this does not
strike me as quite the proper thing. If
one man receives compensation, then all
should. When the road Is built we will
all have to pay fare and freight.
"I understand thit there will be two
branches. One will be extended to the
proposed power plant on the Clackamas,
31 miles from Portland, and the other
through Powell Valley, which Is the one
I have been speaking about. This is a
great and very rich country. I believe It
to be superior to the west side, where I
have some land.. It his been a little
harder to clear, but it is a better country.
We can raise larger and finer hay crops
in this district than In any portion of the
state. Other products can be raised In
the same proportion I Judge the ralH
road will do a big business In the freight
line. I believe that there is fine building
stone adjacent to this proposed railway
that will be needed In Portland for build
ing purposes, as my investigations have
shown me. Much of the country Is well
timbered, which this railway will tap. All
in all, this is a great country, and with
railway connection with Portland will
develop very fast. The line to Mount
Hood will be a great thing. I haye been
assured that the proposed railway will be
built as soon as the right of way can he
secured and preparations made. For my
part I want to see It built, and am willing
to do all I can to encourage Its construc
tion." FRUITGROWERS' ORGANIZATION.
Foundation for Strong; Association
Has Been Laid for Coming Year.
Those fruitgrowers who have been
working to -form an organization In this
county are pointing to the success that
has attended the Hood River Association
this year as further evidence of the ad
vantage of such an association here. It is
admitted that it Js too late in the season
to do more than make a start. Those who
have been pushing the organization have
determined not to let it drop, but will
,w Vli. vl v. ""'' "7 "" I evening. All four rooms of the new build
make use of what has been accomplished k -.,-,, n.-rt tmv and if the
as the foundation of a strong frultgroW'
era association.
The corporation will be formed as con
templated, and membership will be stead
ily solicited until a large list Is obtained.
All this will be done with the view to ef
fective work, next season. This Is the
plan of C. H. Welch, president, and oth
ers In the movement. So far the grow
ers have been receiving a good price for
their berries, and the market has not
been broken down. The canneries have
been paying 3 1-3 cents for Wilsons, ac
cording to agreement.
There has been no efforj: in the move
ment to organize, for there is now every
reason to hope that It will result in the
formation of an effective fruitgrowers'
association which will enable the grow
ers to reap the full advantage of their
work.
A fruitgrower said yesterday that there
was no sense In the frultmen coming Into
Portland as early as they do at present.
He said that he came in the other morn
ing at -4 o'clock and found many wagons
there ahead of him. "With an organiza
tion," he said, "there would be none of
this. We can get in Portland by 5:30, and
that Is time enough. No berries are sold
before that hour, any way."
"WATER FHONT FIRE PROTECTION.
Specially Designed Hydrants Have
Been Cast for East First Street.
The Phoenix Iron Works has Just cast
a number of the big fire hydrants for
the large water main, soon to be laid on
Bast First street. These hydrants are
provided with three 2-inch hose connec
tions and one 4-Inch connection for an
engine, and the inside diameter is 5
Inches. Any one of these hydrants will
provide plenty of water for the largest
Are engine in the city, or three good
streams. With these hydrants placed at
frequent points "1n that district ample
protection will be afforded.
The work of laying the 14-Inch main
for this district is going forward on East
Market street. Most of the pipe has
been distributed between Bast Twelfth
street and the river, and a large force is
employed in putting it under ground.
The main will probably be laid on the
entire route and hydrants placed b the
middle of July.
EXPERIENCE "WITH BURGLAR.
Attempt Was Made to Rob the Dwell
Ins of Dr. T. C. Humphrey.
Dr. T. C. Humphrey, who. Uvea on East
Fourteenth and East Ankeny streets,
had a lively experience with a would-be
burglnr the other night who was trying
to enter his house. Mrs. Humphrey
thought she heard a noise in the base
ment and so Informed her husband, but
he relying on the fact that his sign on
the front door bad always heretofore
kept burglars away, although the neigh
bors had suffered, assured her that it
must be a cat.
In a short time, however, Mrs. Humph
rep heard a noise at the window as if
an attempt was being made to open it.
She arose and, looking out. saw the form
of a man. She awoke Dr. Humphrey and
he quickly got up. The would-be burg
lar ran around the house to the front
gate and from thence down the street.
Dr. Humphrey, in order to increase his
speed, called out, "Shoot him," but .the
fellow was shooting along as fast as
possible and was soon out of sight. The
neighbors have reported petty thieving
at their houses recently, but had missed
Dr. Humphrey's house. The fellow Is
described by Dr. Humphrey as a rather
heavy-set looking man, and a remark
ably fine sprinter.
Brooklyn School Closing;.
At the Brooklyn School, on Mllwaukie
street, closing and graduating exercises
will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30,
June 23. There arc 10 students In the

the Brooklyn School will give a lawn fete
for the benefit of the library fund. The
programme will consist of vocal selec
tions, calisthenlc exercises and other
drills on the school ground. Lemonade
and Ice cream will be the refreshments.
Wood-Preservlagr Plant.
Fisher, Thorsen & Co., of Portland, will
establish a tie-dipping plant for preserva
tion of ties at Troutdale. They have con
tracted with Stone & Rodland for some
long ties to be delivered at Troutdale to
Te treated at this wood-preservative es
tablishment. J. Stone, of this firm, was In
the city yesterday, and said his firm had
received a contract for delivering these
ties at once, and from this he Judged
that the plant would soon be established.
Will Rebuild.
Groves & Yokers, whose sawmUl near
Cottrell was destroyed by fire Sunday
morning, will rebuild at once They have
been engaged In sawing out ties for a
number of years, and think they will be
Justified in rebuilding as soon as they
.can get new machlnery-

worth. 530,000. but he lived like a man in
dire poverty, and died uncared for and
alone. A kitten, that was his only com
panion, lay beside the body of the miser.
Lemolne was 67 years of age and was
a clever mechanic, and manufactured
tools and dies used In the manufacture
of artificial flowers. It was said he once
served In the French Army, but he never
told much of his life, even to his inti
mate friends, and he had few of these.
He slept on a wretched bed In the rear
of the little shop, and ate sparingly at
the cheapest restaurants. The police say
he spent less than 15 cents a day for food.
Most of the property to which deeds
were found Is In Hoboken. It Is not
known whether Lemolne has any rela
tives living, so the Public Administrator
took charge of the money and papers, and
the body was sent to the morgue.
