GRAIN BUSINESS IS GOOD Wheal and Flour Exports to Foreign Countries Less Than for Jhe Same Month of Last Season Coast wise Lumber Trade. Foreign exports of wheat, flour and lum ber from Portland during the month of May ar in direct proportion to the busi ness which the port has transacted dur ing the 11 months of the cereal year which have passed. . The wheat shipments to foreign ports total 464.732 bushels, with a valuation of $417,237. Klour shipments, all of which went to the Orient, amounted to 79.125 barrels. Reducing the flour to a wheat asls the exports were equal to 610.794 bushels of wheat. Lumber exports to forelzn countries Jumped up to 12,690,804 feet, a larger amount than has been dispatched from the Columbia Kiver for many months. Five steamers and one sailing craft cleared for foreign ports with lumber during the month and the value of the shipments amounts to J143.S20. Coastwise lumber shipments have been on the in crease of late. During the month of May there was sent to California ports from Portland (exclusive of points on the Columbia River), 5,065,000 feet. This is better than for many months and a general resumption of the lumber trade Is looked forward to by lumberben at Portland. Foreign exports for the month of May, 1907. amounted to $63,093 bushels of wheat. 244.704 barrels of flour and 7,750, ,'i0 feet of lumber. May of last year was a peculiar month and a large amount of the exports for that period were due to y the grain blockade and car shortage ; which existed earlier in the season and r-.. consequently delayed the vessels for 0:n time so the craft which should have j cleared early in April did not get away ( until Mar. As a result May was a big month and June failed to get credit for a single cargo of wheat and only one small shipment of flour. Totals for the 11 months of the cereal . year are far above those of the season of 1906-07. June, of this year, will make a good showing In the grand total for the cereal year. The grain shipments to California ports have been on the in crease and the total exports to coast ports will be greatly In excess of any of the previous months of the year.

Tucker Returns From Eastern Oregon rind Washington. A. Tucker, local manager for Meyer, Wilson & Co., lias returned from an ex tended trip to Eastern Oregon and Washington. Mr. Tucker says that the outlook for a record-breaking grain crop Is excellent, and with no hot winds he estimates the crop of the Northwest for the Summer of 1908 at approxi mately 70.000,000 bushels. This estl niato 'is 7.000.000 bushels in excess of the crop of 1907 and at that time no figures had approached the volume of grain yield for the Northwest. Mr. Tucker spent more than a week in the Inland Empire and during that time drove many miles in addition to the rail and stage journeys. Ho says there l a general air of prosperity throughout the country. The only cause of complaint that he noticed was the acquiring lands by large owners and the freezing; out of small farmers. Big dealers make offers for small "-4j-acts of land and if the owners' re I use to sell, they make their power felt. Small landowners are complain ing bitterly of this system. Irccasler Lodliolx Is Transferred. A. Lodholz, local Forecaster, and temporarily In charge of the weather station at Portland, has been ordered to proceed from this city to Han Fran cisco and to report to the District Fore cast official at that place for duty.

Holmes, a wealthy Boston leather mer chant, died last night In the lobby of the Hoffman House, of which he had been a guest, immediately after his return there in a taxlcab from a visit to a house In West Forty-seventh street. He had been taken suddenly ill during his visit and was hurried back to the hotel before a physician was summoned. He was 65 years old. After his death the police took Into custody Hugh Fltzsimmons, the driver of the taxlcab; Mrs. Clara Moore. In whose apartment Mr. Holmes was stricken; Jos ephine Wells. Mrs. Moore's maid, and Frederick Morehead, elevator man In the apartment-house in which Mrs. Moore lived. Morehead and Miss Wells assisted Holmes to the cab which had been called to take him to the hotel. Later the four were released, as an autopsy showed that death was caused by heart failure, superinduced by a com plication of kidney and other diseases. GUILTY OR MANSLAUGHTER Spokane Burglar Convicted for Kill ing Motorman. SPOKANE. May 29. After being out all night, the jury in the case of Curtis Hawkinberry. charged with the murder of Percy Schultz. a motorman, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter this morning. Hawkinberry was charged with killing Schults while committing burglary. The murder occurred on the night of December 7 in the Kaiser Hotel after Schultx had surprised the burglar at his work. A terrific scuffle ensued, during which Schultz was shot and instantly killed. His money belt, containing over 00. was missing. The evidence against Hawkinberry was solely circumstantial A curious Incident happened during a fttR hunt on Exrooor. Knfrland. After a fine iraliop the tajr was taken, and in his struggles h upset several beehives. Hounds and field were routed, and It was -some time before the taft'a body could be re covered by men swathed in muslin. ENTERTA1NMENT0F GUESTS A PROBLEM Hordes of Visitors Threaten to Outnumber List of Accom modations Received. OTHER TOWNS SEND ROSES Offers Received by Committee Dec orating Has Began Down Town. East Side Parade and Carni val on Thursday Evening. 1.S POBTIAD GOING TO ENTER TAIN HER VISITORS? ' "Why doesn't Mayor Lane appoint & committee of public-spirited citi-' sens to arrapg-e for the proper e tertatnment of the officers of the warships that will be here next week? "Why isn't It possible for the citi zens of Portland to raise a few hun dred dollars to entertain in a right royal manner the few scose naval officers who are attached to the torpedo-boat flotilla 7 "Why doesn't President Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, come out and say that hia company will honor the uni form of the American Navy while the warships are here? "Why don't the managers of the local theaters and the managers of all local amusement .places throw their doors wide open to the 'Jackles during their visit V The foregoing are questions which Thomas McCusker submitted to the Bose Festival committee yesterday afternoon,- and which the Festival management says It cannot answer because its finances are in such shape that It is unable to arrange for any lavish entertainment of the officers of the naval squadron, which will be the city's guest during the week's Jubilee. Unless the people of Portland come to the front and register their accommoda tions for Rose Festival visitors within the next few days, the problem of taking care of the strangers that will be within the city's gates will be a much more serious one than that which confronted the management of the "World's Fair three years ago. Where hundreds of rooms with board and lodging have been listed, there have been applications for thousands and the residents of the city have apparently taken the view that the Festival is not going to be an important publics demonstration. Local hotel proprietors have decided that there will be no raise in the price of accommodations either for European or American plan guests, and it is extremely doubtful If all the caravanseries in town will be able to provide quarters for the hordes of visitors who will be in the city, next week. The work of decorating the down-town business district with flowers, bunting, streamers and other forms of embellish ment has already begun, and many blocks have assumed a gala attire not only for the Memorial day celebration but for the events of the Rose Festival. Decorators have been at work for the past two or three days whipping the fronts of many of the leading stores into fine artistic shape' for the Festival, and judging from the preliminary and un completed work, it Is a certainty that Portland will be attired in a more gala investiture for the coming week than the city ever has experienced before. Outside Towns Offer Roses. "v7hile some of the most enthusiastic of the merchants have begun their work of decorating, the majority will wait until the first part of next week so that they may be sure to have a fine showing and take a smaller chance on the weather. The metereological , conditions have all been against anything like an elaborate scheme of decoration and it is doubtful if the mercantile district can be put in the spick and span shape that it should be, in view of the nasty weather of the past week. The roses have been held back and just to show the spirit of many of the Oregon communities, several towns in this region have notified the Festival As sociation that they are willing to send all the roses their communities produce Describes Beauties of the South Seas Portland Woman Writes to Friend of the TrSpical Island of Tahiti, Its Scenery and Its People. A PARTY of Portland people, composed of Dr. and Mrs. Holt "Wilson, Mrs. Howard I Mather and Miss Martha Hoyt, is now traveling in the South Seas. A mem ber of this party has written to a Port land friend a letter containing a vivid de scription of the beauties of Tahiti, of which the following is an extract: Papctee, April 30. "And ohl if there be an Elysium upon earth it la thta It Is this!" Moore's lovely simile naturally recurs to me, for neither words nor pen can describe how beautiful it ail Is and all is true that has been written of this enchanting spot. I hardly know where to begin, for there is so much to tell, and yet how to describe it seems Impossible. Laat nipht waa very, very rough and stormy at eea, and sleep was impossible after 1 o'clock, at which hour I heard voices on deck, so I arose and looked out, and there was the Point Venus light just a little star on the horizon; slowly it grew and grew, and then behind It loomed a huge, dark mats, that I knew must be Tahiti. I got up to see it, and then we went back to bed to wait for daylight, and with the first streak of dawn, we were dressed and out on deck, and oh! I can't tell you how wonderful it looked, though at that great distance, not one bit tropical, for all we could see were great mountains, whose tops were lost in the clouds, and divided by deep ravin ea, and all covered with different shades of green moss, soft as velvet, and the sun touching everything here and there, making the effect splendid. Then, not far away, on the other side of the ship, lay dainty, beautiful Moorea, backed in a flood of golden sunlight; and as we drew nearer and nearer, and fir one beauty and then another came into view, I could but hold my hands tight and breathe hard. I had no words to do justice to the scene. I still feel that I will awaken suddenly and find it only a dream. The entrance to the harbor was most Interesting first we laid outside the coral reef, until the pilot and health officer came on board, and then we slowly steamer ahead, and as we had been told io it was we entered through this nar row opening in the reef and just floated into the bay. with beautiful Papetee before us, and what a sight it was! I think the whole town was on the shore to welcome us. and such a mixing of color you- never saw. It took us nearly an hour after we entered the bay before we landed, and since then we have met so many old friends in the flowers and shrubs. The ole ander, the jasmine, etc., and the flam boyant tree that lines ths streets, resembles markedly the China umbrella, only it is much larger. Then the banana Is also an old friend the date palm likewise, and the cocoa nut tree is evtry where and most picturesque. The main street of the town lies along the ocean front, and from it others run up towards the hills, and all are i in order to make the Festival an im qualified success. The season being as backward as it is, it is not unlikely that neighboring communities will be asked to send in their flora! contribu tions, although local rose culturalists declare that there will be a goodly por tion of the early crop of roses ready for the .exhibit and for all decorative pur poses. Auto Races Xew Sight to Sailors. One of the big events of Festival week, the 100-mile and 50-mlle automobile races, will furnish an entrancing form of amuse ment and entertainment for the officers of the warships which will be in port all next week, the like of which they have not seen so far on their around-the-world voyage aed will probably not see on the balance of the trip. The Portland Automobile Clubs committee has ar ranged to have motor-cars take all the naval officers of the mosquito fleet out to the course pf these dare-devil races and to give them the best opportunity in the world of seeing the trouble wagons tear off space at the rate of from 60 to 75 miles an hour. Being the guests of the local Automobile Club for this day's functions, the sea warriors will be con ducted to the most advantageous points along the course where they may see the great contests. Big East Side Parade. Plans for the Bast Side carnival and children's parade Thursday evening, June 4, are nearing completion. Street paving is all completed. President Blge low is daily receiving many entries for decorated dog and pony carts, bicycles, etc. There is a $10 prize for the best- decorated dog cart, a $10 prize for the best decorated pony cart, and a $5 prize for the best-decorated bicycle. Only chil dren under 15 are allowed to enter for these prizes, entries will be received un til Thursday noon. Mayor Lane will be asked to atrt as one of the judges. General O. O.

During the evening fair maidens will distribute roses from large cornucopias and baskets. Peninsula's Plans for Rose Festival The executive committee of the Penin sula Rose Festival Association held a late session at the library-rooms at Pen insula Station Thursday night. There was full discussion of plans for the coming week. Chairman Peddlcord was Instructed to purchase ribbons for 1000 bouquets to start with, and young: women living on the Peninsula will have charge of the rose booths at the Union Depot and For restry building. They will come from each neighborhood, including St. John. It was reported that $1000 had been raised, including the money for the St. John float. This was raised from the follow ing sources: .St. John, $500. float: real estate men, $300; citizens, 200. At the meeting of the executive committee, S. Q. Slbray reported J50 cash from University Park. It was reported that practically all plans for the part the Peninsula will have in the Rose Festival had been worked out. Roses will be gathered every morning by committees from the several neighborhoods and brought In by a spe cial car, wnicn win. De sent out by the company for this purpose. Reduced Rates to Festival. In the further interest of the Rose Festival, the local passenger depart ment of the Harriman lines yesterday announced that excursion rates from The Dalles, Albany and Corvallis and all intermediate points to Portland would prevail daily, June 1 to 6 in clusive. As announced originally .these reduced rates were to apply only every alternate day during the Fes tival. shaded by beautiful cocoanut and flamboyant trees. The houses are quaint little places, burled In troDlcal plants. The natives are a most lovable family people, the women beautiful and the men large and handsome. The women all dress In the "Alu" a na tive dress like the Mother Hubbard, and the men a paru and coat, the paru being; a bright colored cloth wrapped about the body. They speak almost no English, only French, besides their native tongue, which latter is very musical. Lorlnlas. as the guide-books tell us. Is the only place to go to. She is a great figure h" big. fat, sweet-faced woman with a charming voice and attractive manner a native, of course. She waa at the wharf when we landed, and we were fortunate enough to get the pick of her rooms. She has a place right In the center of the town, where she serves her meals and accommo dates some boarders, but the annex, about eight or ten blocks distant, and right on the ocean front, is the choice place and we were lucky enough to get In there. Our rooms are most primitive, but clean and comfortable, and the carriage takes us to and from our meals each day. Mine looks out on a lovely garden, and then onto the gorgeous hills; while the front of the bouse faces the ocean, and dainty, lovely Moorea lays right ahead, near enough about to touch. Outside of the rooms hang bunches of oranges and bananas that we can help ourselves to whenever we please. The beds all have nets, and only a sheet for a cover-, ing. and we sleep with doors and windows open. So far no Insects at all. not even mosquitoes, and the climate Is like our beautiful Oregon Summer. We are up early and have coffee and toast served: then the town is alive until 10, when everything closes up until 2 o'clock. We have breakfast or lunch at 11. then shed clothes and loaf or nap until time to dress for dinner. We have a large stone basin in which we bathe in clear, cool water; and It's refresh ing beyond words. The native fruits are de licious the like of which I have never tasted before the cocoanut milk is the great drink, and then you spoon out the in side of the nut, and it's simply perfect. The' mummy apple I don't care for very much. The fish, lobsters and shrimps are excellent. In about ten days we are going over to Moorea to remain a week or two, and they tell us we will never want to come back; it must Indeed be an Eden upon earth, if it can surpass Papetee. We go over on a little steamboat and take about four hours to make the 22 miles. Then next week we are going to a beautiful place called Papers driving the distance about 25 miles, and there we will stay possibly a week. We are told the trip around Tahiti is very rough and hard, and does not pay one, so we don't much think we w-ill take it. I could go on writing about this hea-enly spot indefinitely, tnr it is simply a paradise, and 1 feel that what X have written ia far below Its deserts CULLS HURT PRICES Inferior Apples Put on Eastern Market. DEALERS LOSE IN THE END Oscar Yanderbllt Declares Oregon Growers Are Xot Worrying as Superior Fruit Will Still Com mand Top . Figures. Oregon apple growers are not worrying because of the condition of the apple market In the East, which Is at a low ebb. The low prices are the result of a greedy combination between the grocers of the Middle West, New York and New England and the Eastern, dealers. Be cause of the fancy prices that t'je fruit had been bringing, something like six mil lion barrels of apples were put in cold storage. They were the worst kind of culls, apples that would ordinarily have found their way into the cider mills, driers, or would - have been left on the ground to rot. The growers, of course, got his money for these culls and it was the dealers who lost, especially those who paid fancy prices for good varieties. With the storage plants bulging with in ferior apples, the dealers waited until the high-class fruits were thrown on the mar kets. Then the dealers who had bought the cheap fruit began unloading and the result was that the bottom fell out of the market. The grade of fruit that was barreled and placed in cold storage began to rot just as soon as it was taken out with the result that consumers, after buy ing one barrel and getting more than half rotten ones, quit buying the fruit altogether. The dealers then found they were overloaded, shipped apples back West and this also killed the Western market. This explanation of the apple situation was made last night by Oscar Vanderbilt, of Hood River. Mr. Vanderbilt was at first mystified by the condition of the. market, and it was not until he had made a most searching investigation that he discovered the real cause. "I think the dealers are pretty well sat isfied now that they have been stung good and plenty," said Mr. Vanderbilt. "Some of the growers also will discover that they have been hurt, for consumers, having refused to pay for rotten apples, have turned to other fruit. The Oregon grow ers had no part in this attempted grab. Our apples always brought good prices In the East, and they will continue to do so. "Another thing that hurt the market was the large crops. This year, from ac counts I have been reading, the apple belt in the Middle West has been dam-, aged fully 50 per cent .by heavy frosts. Colorado, our keenest competitor In boxed apples, has also suffered. The frost which struck that state during April was severe . and I doubt very much whether Colorado will be able to raise 25 per cent of the usual crop. "When the Eastern buyers land at Hood River this Fall they will have to meet our prices. The Fruitgrowers' Union of Hood Hlver is building a large cold-stor age plant, large enough to store the big apple crop that Is coming on, and if the prices ere not right our apples will be A SURGICAL OPERATION 'X.ex.-Ai7-i If there Is any one thing that a woman dreads more than another it is a surgical operation. We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hun dreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hos pitals which are entirely unneces sary and many have been avoided by LYDIA E. P.NKHAIVrS VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the iouowmEr letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, ilansas, writes to Mrs. irinKham : " For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman. Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Koaa, Moorestown. jn. j writes : " I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vege table Compound has done for me. I Buffered frem female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, ana urged me to try lydia Hk finkhams Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirtv vears Lvdia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pams, and backache.

They know that I do not promise more than I per form. To them I have actually illustrated in the cure of their own cases the truth of what I claim, namely, that my treatment is as certain to cure as it is that the patient engages my services and follows my directions.
