THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1907. 10 SUCCESS OF ROSE FIESTA ASSURED All Working Committees Make Encouraging Reports of Their Progress. PARADE THE STAR FEATURE Floral Pageant Will Surpass Any the City Has Ever Known Plans- for Participation of the School Children Is Arranged. The campaign for the success of the rose show and fiesta Is now practically at an end. It only remains to put into" ef fect the plans that have been worked out ty the tireless hustlers who have been directing the destinies of the carnival. The enterprise is safely past the stage of doubt as to ultimate success success on a greater scale than was even hoped for in the original planning. There was a meeting last night of all the working committees and the reports on various branches of preparation were favorable without exception. It was re vealed that not a hitch has occurred. The public has enlisted its interest to the last man, woman and child, and not only will the great floral parade be the great est pageant that ever passed through the atreets of Portland, but the turnout promises to be greater than that of any former ocraslon. not excepting the open ing day of the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion. The wav Is paved for an annual fiesta suih as will hold the attention of people throughout the country. The Portland rose fiesta hereafter is to take rank with the Mardi Gras of New Orleans; possi bly it will come to outclass it. Two miles of parade, hundreds of thousands of roses forming the decora tions of every integral part, will be the feature of the carnival. It was agreed .last night that this parade must be fea tured and made the big event of the fiesta. While It had been expected that the arrangement of the column would be complete at this time, the overwhelming number of applications for positions in line made it necessary for the commit tees to continue their labors through to day. Reports of committees. There was a full turnout last night. The committees met In the Board of Trade rooms, with President Howe presiding. Committee reports were read by the various chairmen. The first report was made by C. A. Whltemore, on behalf of the decoration committees. He said that the interest taken by business men in decorating their places Is entirely satis factory and that every business house of any consequence in the city will be re splendent in the fiesta colors. Secretary McFarland reported on the progress of work In decorating the For estry building, where the floral exhibit Is to be made. He said that the nterlor will prove a surprise to all visltors-that It will be a veritable fairyland. W Wynn Johnson said on behalf of the finance committee that there is not quite enough money on hand to carry out all the ambitious plans that have been set tled upon. About $600 more Is needed, he .Rid, and must be raised without delay Ko difficulty is looked for in securing the T. decided to tender a reception to the officers of the Charleston while that vessel is in port. H. C. Bowers S. G. Reed and W D. Wheelwright were named as a committee to arrange for this) evem It is likely that the reception will w, followed by an elaborate banquet. Captain J. B.

After canvassing the prists and rose experts of the city, he was prepared to say that the roses will be VoomV in even greater Profusion than heretofore during carnival eek. i Praiso for Newspapers.

The Keen appreciation of Portland roses folt by visitors is brought home by a com nuinloatlon received yesterday from una ha. The letter IS signea oy a com mittee of the Omaha delegation that re ...i.tiv tnent several days In Portland. during which time they were showered with roses by the Travelers- Aid tocl-e-v at the instance of the fiesta manage- event. Tne communication ia addressed to Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, and one paragraph from it reads: tVe assure you that nothing on this entire trip has in uy way compared with what you did for us, or has given us half as much pleasure. In fact, nothing could have be&rti dona that could possibly have pleased us more than the filling our ears with the most beautiful flowers that we have ever 9n. We poor Xebraskan. on our return, I think, will give up our efforts to culti vate roses and devote our attention to sun flowers and golden-rod, so that when you return our visit we may in part return the compliment with the flower of our state and the giant sunflower of our prairies, tva wish we might convey to you our heartfelt appreciation and (rive you. an ida of re we feel . over these flowers, but we realize our ahsolute inability to do so. The fact Is, many of our people were loth and re luctant to turn in last night on account of having to destroy the beautiful work done by your noble women. The festoons in our dining and observation cars will be left there until they fall down, after which it is the intention of some of the members of our party to save the petals for rose Jars.

FAKER IN POLICE COURT Victim of Quack Tells How He Was Buncoed Conflict In the Testi mony Case Taken Under Advisement. The Great" Fer-Don and his staff of distinguished medical experts, specialists of renown In performing operations for the removal of surplus cash, attended an Interesting and instructive clinic at the Municipal Courtrooms yesterday morning. The law was engaged in dissecting theier past conduct with a view to eliminating their presence from this great city of many roses and some few suckers. The great man was present in person at the head of his staff. Putting aside pro fessional cares for the time being, the THC CM A7 Ft D0h' man who cures spinal meningitis as readily as the toothache, lent his presence to the dignity of the occasion, and re mained until the end. During the fore noon he was called upon to explain an operation which he is reputed to have performed upon a patient' from the back woods of Columbia County. The patient had a troublesome growth in his vest pocket. The Fer-Don experts diagnosed the case and found the patient was afflicted with $7. They promptly re moved it. - With befitting modesty the celebrated medico declined to say anything, leaving the telling of the story to his staff of medical experts.. The staff, who has been too busily occupied healing Me sick of the city to get a Bhave or a new suit of clothes in some considerable time, took the stand and said that he actually ner- formed the operation in question and that as a regularly licensed physician of the State of Oregon he was entitled to take. not only the $7 the man had with him. but as much more as the patient could beg, borrow or steal. Spends Uncomfortable Minute. The staff, who responds to the name of Dr. G. EJ. French, spent a very uncom fortable minute while Deputy District At torney rlaney was eulogizing him. "You are a disgrace to the medical pro fession," said Mr. Haney. pointing an accusing finger in the doctor's direction "You have a license and you debase your """"5 y ninng yourseir out to this fraud Fer-Don. You do his bidding and it. is oniy tnrougn you that he is able to flourish. He has you to fall back on in just such cases, when the law fnii nn mm ior practicing without a license. If you had any sense of decency left you Would hide your face In Rhamo Dr. French sneered his appreciation of this eulogy, but thoughtfully refrained from making -any response. The doctor was not on trial. He w arrested along with Fer-Don and an other member of the partv. Seth wn cuarge oi practicing medicine with out a license. But by 'showing his di iuoma irom a medical college and his authorization from the Oregon Medical Board to practice, he escaped prosecu tion, mo trial men centered about Fer Don and Wells. Fer-Don has offices in the district and does a nightly spieling stunt out in a vacant lot adjoining the old Ex position block. He proclaims his medical experts and his wonderful curative pow- cio m Dig signs and banners and in masterly spiels. There is a dally har vest or. com and "The Great Fer-Don' comes and goes in a carriage decorated with spangles. Music hails his coming na ma going alike, and he Is an em peror in his own domain which con sists chiefly of a fakir's platform and four colored persons who entertain the passing stream of humanity from which tne suckers are to be drawn. A man with a bad ear and less know edge of the world nibbled the other evening and went in to have his hearing restored. He paid the $7 he had with him and was to produce $60 more in re turn for a permanent cure. When he discovered, as he thought, that he had been victimized, he brought suit for the 17 and later caused the arrest of Fer-Don and his experts on charges of practicing wiznout a license. Blames All to Staff. Dr. French proved to be the only one of the party legally authorized to call himself a physician. Fer-Don essayed to show that all medical work is performed by French. The victim in question de clared he had been treated by the great person .and W ells. After Mr. Haney had paid his little tribute to Dr. French, Attorney Bern stein, representing the defense, arose to pay his respects to the Portland medical profession in general. "Dr. French Is as much entitled to be termed a medical expert as any other physician, said the lawyer. "He has passed the examination required by the State Board, which is composed of many of our eminent physicians. "He may not be able to etTect a cure m every case. But what doctor can? Aren't the medical records full of cases wherein doctors have operated for an aliment that did not exist where they have cut people open only to find that they were mistaken. Get into the confidence of any medical man and the things he tells you will prove a revelation. "As for stating the medical standing of a man. that Is a hard thing to de termine. Dr. French may be Just as well qualified to practice his profession as any doctor in the city. The professional standard here is not any too high for jthat matter, if tho medical journals may M rurncn be depended upon. It may be seen by recent medical journals that the stand ing of Portland physicians as a whole is not high." Sir.- Haney urged that the defendants be given the.limit of the law. Mr. Bern stein insisted that, in the interests of justice, they be released. Judge Cam eron took the matter under advisement until Monday morning. HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS beginning to assume a lively aspect," said A. E.' Florence, of the Lake view Mercantile Company, at the Oregon Hotel yesterday. "We are about 110 miles from a railway and traveling is slow work in our section. Activity in stock and sheep raising, with the recent interest aroused in mining, is making the district pretty lively at pres ent, however. "We have no idea when we will get a railroad, but at the present rate of pro gress it wlil be about 26 years. The mining activity, however, may stimulate a movement for railroad connection with the outside world. "The mineral formation in which gold is found is similar to' the formation in the Nevada and Arizona mines. There has been much prospecting lately and many good quartz properties have been found. No development has begun yet. but there will be in the next few months. SESSION OF GRAND CHAPTER Order of Eastern Star Will Finish ' Work Today.

V. Carter Indicates Large Growth in Membership of Association During the Fast Year.

He spoke of the increase in membership and recommended that the members keep up the good work until every banker in the state has joined. To tetter aid the work for which the association has been formed. Mr. Carter suggested that the state be divided Into districts. This, he said, would enable the bankers in each district to hold meetings Independent of the annual meeting of the state asso ciation. He referred to the fact that sur plus funds in Oregon banks are being invested in Eastern commercial paper, evidence of the exceptionally prosperous conditions existing in this state. "Hewing to the Line." was the subject of an address by E. D. Cusick, cashier of the J. W. Cusick & Company's Bank at Albany. He strongly urged conserva tive practices and honest methods. James Steel, State Bank Examiner, brief ly addressed the meeting and invited the co-operation of the bankers in his efforts under the state bank law to systematize and improve the banking business of the state.

In the afternoon Joseph Chapman, Jr.. cashier, of the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis, Minn., delivered an address on "Work of Bankers' Associa tions." He pointed out that the bankers In every community are representative men who should do everything in their power to advance the interests of their immediate localities In particular and the state at large. No other man, he argued, has a better understanding of the needs of a community than the banker, and ror that reason he should take an active in terest In ail that concerns its material welfare.
