E STATE TO
JOIN 111 FESTIVAL
Outside Cities Will Participate
in Portland's June
Rose Show.
ENTER FOR BIG PARADE
Pirectors of Alaska-Yukon-Paclf ic
Kxposltfon AUo Write Cordial
Letter Promising That Fair
Will Be Represented.
Several blf? questions relative to the
Fortland Rose Festival of next June were
tukcn up by the ways and means and
exploitation committees, which met joint
ly at festival headquarters last night.
Among them was the matter of further
arousing the Interest of cities and towns
of Oregon in the plan to have an
all-Oregon and all-Northwestern street
parade during the week of celebration.
When this matter was brought up. Gen
eral Manager George I.. Hutchin read
communications from commercial bodies
and publicity clubs from nearly a dozen
Oregon cities. Including Astoria. Hood
River, Roseburg, Eugene. Marshfleld.
Medford. The Dalles. La Grande, Union
and Pendleton, and the tone of each let
ter was favorable to the project. With
out exception, the cities in question ex
pressed a desire to enter floats in the
special cavalcade reserved for Oregon
. and the Northwest,, and Astoria, through
Secretary Whyte. of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Mayor Wise, said that a
. delegation would be in Portland next
Monday to take up the matter of a fif
ing design for the float that would repre
sent the "Clty-hy-the-Sea."
Astoria has already announced her In
tention of entering a float representing a
monster Columbia River salmon in the
contest for the' J500 cash prize, and she
will probably havte the honor of making
the first arrangements with the expert
float designers and builders who will come
here from St. Liouis to have charge of
the construction work. Pendleton will
send her band of Indians from the Uma-
. tllla reservation, Hood River will prepare
a huge cluster of the -world-famous ap
ples, and the other towns mentioned will
all be represented by floats typical of the
Industrial resources of their particular
' sections.
Seattle Will Send Nugget.
The directors of the Alaska-Yukon-I'aclflc
F.xposltion were heard from In a
most cordial letter in which the promise
was made to build a float to compete in
the all-Northwestern parade. It Is alto
gether likely that Seattle will design and
enter an Alaskan gold nugget of preten
tious size as its contribution to the festi
val Jubilee. The exposition people made
it clearly understood that Seattle is
deeply grateful for the loyal stand Port
land newspapers and the Portland pub
lic is taking toward the big fair of
1909. .and unqualified assurance is given
that the fair management will enter a,
float of extraordinary magnificence in the
open event of the week.
A committee was named to arrange for
a conference with President B. S. Josse
lyn for the purpose of presenting to him
the full details of the week's plans, with
facts and figures regarding what the light
and power corporation in other cities do
In affairs of this character. The organ
ization is confident that he will be will
ing to grant a generous contribution on
behalf of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company.
The City Park Board was handled with
out gloves by the meeting for allowing the
Olmstead Brothers, who sent a repre
sentative here recently, to convince the
board that it was a bad scheme to plant
roses In the Plaza blocks. The board
was also criticised for Its alleged leth
argy ' in dealing with matters which the
Rose Festival people have presented to
it. The board. It was stated, has thrown
cold water on every proposition that the
substantial men behind the festival have
proposed, and have shown no interest In
beauttrytng the city or its parks along
the lines suggested. After exhaustive
discussion, the meeting selected the fol
lowing committee to confer with the Park
Board with the hope of getting a Httle
more favorable consideration at its hands:
B. W. Rowe. F. V. Holman, W. 8. Sto
lon. E. B. Piper. L. G. Clarke, F. I. Dres
ser, Dr. Emmet Drake and William Mc
Murray.. Bring FloatbuiWlers Here.
General Manager Hutchin was instruct
ed to wire the expert float builders who
have designed and constructed the sym
bolic pieces for the St. Louis "Veiled
Prophets" for the past 20 years, to come
here at onre and begin preliminary work
on the floats that are to be entered in the
various street parades during the fes
tival week.
Addresses were mad by various mem
bers of the ways and neans committee
showing that wide-spread Interest has
already been aroused In the celebration.
Three members of the Portland Ad Club
who will go to the annual convention of
the Pacific Coast Advertising Men, two
weeks hence, were present and pledged
.themselves to exploit the festival.
Infinite promise was made by President
R. M. Hall, cf the organization, that it
would hold its Summer session in Port
land during festival week.
William McMurray, chairman of the ex
ploitation and publicity department, ex
hibited samples of the festival advertis
ing literature being sent out by the Har
rlman lines in Oregon, and he stated that
several campaigns of publicity along dif
ferent lines were already under way.
Adjournment was taken until noon to
day, when another meeting of the ways
and means committee will be held to con
alder a number of matters ti-.at are not
in shape for definite action as yet. At
this meeting a committee to meet with
the Oregon State Editorial Association,
that holds lt convention here January
17 and IS. will be named by President
C. A. Whltemore. Other matters of im
portance will come up. One of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition' buildings has al

Death of Henry W. Gilpin.
Henry Wellington Gilpin. who
died recently at St. Vincent's . Hos
pital, was born In New York City,
August 6. .1848. Later his parents
made their home in Toronto. Canada,
where Mr. Gilpin spent his youth,
later coming to Kan Francisco, where
he was a contractor for 1- years .
and was nncially successful. Real
izing that there would be greater
opportunities in Oregon he settled
on a farm ten miles east of The
Dalles. Later he returned to the
East and met his wife. Miss Lois
Janes, of Burlington. Ia., whom he
married May 7. 1884. With her
assistance he accumulated a com
fortable fortune. Eight years later
he planned and constructed a beau
tiful Bummer home, which is known
as Gilpin's Summer home on Eight-.
Mile Creek. His health began to
fail five years ago. He spent the
last two months of his life at his
residence in this city, with his wife,
and family. He leaves a wife, two
sons and two daughters. The fu
neral was held at The Dalles, where
services were conducted by the Rev.
D. V. Polling, of the First Congre
gational Church,
KUBELIK AT THE HEILIG
Great Artist Will Be Heard Tomor
row Night.
Tomorrow. Thursday evening, at the
lleilig Theater, Portland music-lovers
will be given one of the greatest treats
of the season in the grand concert to be
given by the world's greatest violinist.
Jan Kubcllk. This celebrated artist will
be assisted by the young French planiste.
Mile. Bcrtlie Roy and Herr Ludw-ig
Schwab, accompanist. No other virtuoso
in modern music has risen to such an
exalted plane in so short a time as has
Jan Kubellk. Before he reached his 20th
year, the continent of Europe was voicing
his wonders. He had not attained his
majority when America had added Its
peana to the constantly swelling praise.
Early declared a "child marvel." he
epecdlly commanded the respectful 'con-
the virtue or vice to smooth angles or to rec
oncile differences of creed and it still stands
on the principle that you can not understand
the grace of God until you realize the enormity
of human sin. We. eaw the awfulnesa of
the human heart last night and now we
want to see it as God Intended It should be.
We want to see how God moves forward
to his climax to present the soul, faultless,
before . the throne of glory.
The spirit of the age Is for a creedless
church for creedlees people, a manifest contra
diction. It is more important to me to know
a man's views on the origin .of the universe
than on the tariff because every thought of
the human mind is grounded in its conception
of the origin, the operation and the destiny
of the universe. There 10 no question what
the Bible and the Christian world think. Their
theory Is of a gospel from a personal, think
ing, energizing Being. Their God . is su
premely personal and the farther the mounds
of the civilized universe are pushed, the
greater is our God. Any theistic view that
makes God merely intellectual is Inadequate.
Redemption is not the afterthought but the
overthought of God, Some have said that the
Christians belittle the world by constantly
finding fault with It, but I maintain that
Chrlstianltv gives the only clew worth having.
Science deals only with the constant warfare
of the world and tells nothing of the glorious
redemption. It belittles with an absentee God
who cannot work miracles and Is subervient to
Immutable laws. It has a God more concerned
with fossils than with a human soul.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 7. Charges of
false pretense in connection with furnish

A largely attended and thoroughly suc
cessful affair was the twenty-fifth anni
versary " of Multnomah Typographical
Union. No. 58, which was held last night
at the Woodman Hall on East Sixth
street, near Alder. The early portion of
the evening was devoted to an interesting
programme that included introductory re
marks by J. J. Price: song, by Miss Al
berta Butler: recitation, by Mrs. J. P.
Morgan: song, by Mrs. E. Kleist, and a
recitation, by Miss Plckthorn. Dancing
followed the grand march, and later an
elaborate banquet. For those who- pre
ferred cards to dancing various games
were played in an adjoining room. The
decorations were artistic and excellent
manic was furnished. , -
A yeaf prior to the origin of the union;
in 1S82. Portland boasted of a population
of 20,000. It was during the time of the
Viilard boom and money was plentiful.
There were then four daily newspapers
The Oregonian, Telegram,- Standard and
Xews and the weekly publications, The
Northwest, Rural Spirit, Sunday Mer
cury and Sunday Welcome. At that time
there was a dearth of printers and not in
frequently a bonus was paid for a "sub."
This same year application was made for
a charter and the meeting for organiza
tion was held January 7. 18S3. in the
I Holmes building, 105 First street.

together, with constitution and by-laws;
the name Multnomah was chosen, officers
elected, and No. 58 launched on a suc
cessful career with 100 active members.
Frank G. Lee was the first president;
Alex Rose, vice-president; John M.
Vaughn, recording and corresponding
secretary; B. Detwiler, financial secre
tary and treasurer: Donald Monro, state
deputy; J. L. Pltchford, sergeant-at-Rrms.
The union was sometimes referred
to as the "Frank. G. Lee Union.'t
Not until. 1S91 were linotype machines
installed and then the old-time hand
compositors were relegated to the back
ground. In the march of progress, ma
