TI1E 3I0RXING OREGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY,' MAY 1913. ROSE FESTIVAL IS TO ATTRACT CROWD Rosarians Arranging Numer ous Events of Entertain ment for Visitors. MONEY URGENTLY NEEDED Members of Organization Say Man; Citizens of Portland Are Xot Contributing to Support of Fete as Expected. California la coming in organized force to attend the Rose Festival next month. From every other part of the West and Northwest great numbers are com ing. The people of Portland are confronted now with the pleasant duty of provid ing entertainment for these friendly Invaders. Last Winter when the Royal Rosa rians went on a special train from Portland through the southern state to San Diego the hospitable people of California opened wide their doors and told their northern viBltors a Joyous wel come. Now the Rosarians want to recipro cate. They want to do more than that. They want to show not only that hos pitality begets hospitality but that Portland is able to dispense a de gree of cordial welcome and good fel lowship that no other city on earth possesses. A whole lot of entertainment for these enthusiastic Callfornlans will be provided by the Rosarians themselves. Individually and privately. Still more will be furnished by that organization collectively. Festival Fnad la Low. But something more than this Is ex pected something from the people of Portland, the rank and file and the citi zens generally. For this the visitors will look outside the ranks of the Ro sarians. And It is for the people out side the Rosarian band to say to what extent this public entertainment is forthcoming. Thus far the festival fund remains low. Money is urgently needed. Fully 120.000 must be raised If the right kind of entertainment Is to be provided. In Seattle they have raised more than SSO.000 for their Potlatch this year. That Is all they set out to raise. They say they could have collected more had they asked for it. This year's festival will offer a more diversified field from which to attract visitors than any that have gone be fore. In addition to the conventional festival programme there will be a variety of other proceedings. ' all of which will add to the gaiety of the oc casion. The following is only a partial list of the events that are scheduled for festival week, to say nothing of the regular parades, concerts and carnival spectacles: United Artisans' grand lodge meet ing. June 9 to 11: conference of festival rlties. June to 14: Pacific Northwest Photo Engravers. June 9 to 12: State rally. Ladies of the Maccabees. June 9 to 14; National Convention of Nursery men, within the festival week; State I)ental Society, June 9 to 14; Interstate Federation of Motorcyclists, June 9 to 11; Amateur Athletic Union champion ship meet. June 14; Osteopathic Physi cians' Association. June 9 to 10; Ma sonic Grand Lodge of Oregon. June 9 to 14; Architects' League of the Pacific Coast. June 9 to 11. Now it is certain that these several events, any one of which is of consid erable Importance In Itself, will serve to attract great numbers of people to Portland. Ro Give Guarantee. The Rosarians nave guaranteed to give it to them. But they can't do it all alone at least not the financial part of it. So they have sent up another appeal to the public spirited property owners and business people who have not yet subscribed to help swell the festitval fund. Some of the biggest men in the city belong to this Kosarian band. They have given generously of their time and money In promoting this year's festival. They are preparing to do o again when festival time comes. But there are other big men in the community who, it is pointed out. have overlooked the importance of the fes tival. Neither by affiliation with any of the patriotic organizations that are promoting it nor by subscription to the funds that are to make its success a possibility have they lent their sub stance or their energy to the movement that annually does more, probably, to advertise Portland than any single other institution. The Rosarians have suggested that some of these men mayhap some women now join in the movement to provide characteristic Portland entertainment for the pleas ure seeking visitors who will come from all directions to share in the fes tivities. It Is evident that the Californians themselves intend to furnish a large hare of the fun incident to the festi val, aa the following extracts from letters recently received from that source seem to Indicate: "Believe me. we are going to have some swell uniforms, " writes Frank G. Hogan. "liege lord" of the Knights of the Rose Tournament of Pasadena. ""They will consist of black silk top bat. scarlet cutaway coat, white waist coat, white stock, white breeches and black boots. 1 think this is about the most striking costume for parade use. particularly as we always will ride In events of this kind. "We will leave the night of June for San Francisco, arriving there on the morning of the 7th, and are due in your city on the 9th." "Our Portland committee met this morning and the Portland trip has been launched in Oakland." says Fred K. Reed, of that city. "Send us all the publicity you can and we- will have a man In charge nf that end of our excursion, under salary.' whose business it will be to get the City of Portland every ounce of pub licity that possibly can be had. I know that we can get you publicity that you could not buy with thousands of dol lars. Theater te Be Engaged. "Engage the entire house of one of the big theaters for the first night that there are no electrical parades or other entertainments arranged for. We -would like to have the sec ond or third night, when the carnival is at its full swing, if possible. We will substitute two or three stunts for the regular acts of the theater. "We want to enter two or three floats in every parade. Our boys favor the idea of doing things big and right op to the handle." From Mitchell. S. D will come a special carload of people -under di rection of 8. E. Morris, a leading resi dent of that place. Big delegation are coming from many other cities in the West and many Individuals will come out of the East to see Por.A id and Its boasted rosea. 4 SHRINERS WILL LEAVE THURSDAY FOR DALLAS At Session of Imperial Council, Regular Business of Order Will Be Trans acted, With W.

Cunnl MENTAL VANITY GOOD THING, SAYS JOHN DREW "Some Call It Self -Respect," Remarks Finished, Intellectual Actor, Who Will Take Up Lighter-Veined Shakespearean Roles Next Season. BY LEONE CASS BAER. JOHN DREW says he never yearneo or hankered to be literary and that the height and depths of his ability in that direction he feels he sounded a few years ago when he wrote an article for a magazine, and to quote his own opinion of it, "re on hnnorirlum far beyond my deserts." Which is an unusual asser tion. All the near-writers I know, and more especially the misguided souls, who write at and. to Instead of for the papers, whine that they should have received more. The subject of writing came about naturally. Mr. Drew you see, doesn't give interviews. He Interviews the interviewers. Not that he gives a two-penny-dern how long you've been writing or how long you Intend to keep careering, or what; when, where or why one writes. But he Just asks, out of curiosity. I reckon, at first, and when you are honest enough to the srame a-going Just to 'show he's a good sport. Lecal Calling Eacaned. If he hadn't turned out to be John Drew, actor, he'd have been John Drew, attorney-at-law. He didn't say so, and after all he might have turned out to be a very bum plumber, but he hasn't the ear marks of the plumber, and he does have all the signs that identify the man of law. He merely asks one or two questions In an absolutely Im personal, even disinterested, manner, and you are ready to tell him the story of your life up to the moment of going '"But'he doesn't let you do It, fortu nately. , Wife Is Diplomat. John Drew's wife Is the sweetest prettiest girlish woman, with a slen der body clad in smart toga, and a crown of snowy hair. She is also the diplomat of the family, and says when things are Hot to go in print. Mr. Drew says he is going to write two books. They will probably be among the best sellers. One of them is to be about people he has never met. and the other one will be his memoirs. I asked him if the thought hadn't occurred to him to conduct a " ' he Mystic Shrine, to be held in Dallas, Al Kader Temple, Portland, and other 11 leave this city on a special car to te of Al Kader Temple, will head the are Dr. C.

"Dazzling Disclosures of Drew!" he said In affected thoughtfulness. "I'd certainly have a lot of followers, for no woman can be vainer than a' man if he is .given to that sort of thing. I differentiate between the mere looking-glass vanity apd intellectual van ity. A vanity that finds source in mentality is a good thing. Some folk call it self-reFpect. By any name It is as sweet" , I asked him what he planned for next season. "A revival of 'Much Ado About Nothing.' " he answered at once. "You've played Shakespeare, I be gan. "About a million roles." he said, and then, as I rose to. go he said in an alarm that was as good as real, if it wasn't "For heaven's sake don't write that 1 saia a miuiun rvi or some old Baconian will come along and say Shakespeare never wrote that many." y V A K !fr?. T ARRIVES IN CITY Frank S. Myers Says Work on New Building Will Start in Six Months. WILSON "MAN OF HOUR" President Handling: Congress as He Did Jersey Legislature, Declares Appointee, Who Finds Oregon Senators In Prominence. "Work will be started- on Portland's new postofflce building in about six months, according to present plans oi the Treasury Department," said Post master Frank a Myers, who arrived from Washington yesterday, and who will probably assume the duties of the office this morning, succeeding W. E Wllliamson, who has been acting post master since the death of C. B. Merries. "Tentative plans, providing for en trances of equal Importance on Broad wnv and Park street, have been ap proved by the Postofflce Department, and while personally I preierrea inn the main facade should e on Broad way," he continued, "I am assured that the building will lose nothing, either in architectural beauty or interior utility, by having two entrances.. I was sur prised to find that fully as many re quests had been received for the Park street as for the Broadway entrance. "Neither the style of architecture nor the materials that will be used have yet been determined, but I found offi cials of the Postofflce Department en thusiastic over the' rapid growth of the Portland Postofflce in recent years, and they declared that we were en titled and would get the most beauti ful and commodious building possible with the appropriation. - The present policy In building new buildings is to allow 100 square feet of floor space for each employe In the portion that will be used for postofflce purposes. This is figured on the probable num ber of employes ten years in the fu ture." Wilson.. ".Man ' of the Hosr." The rule in t:V construction of Fed eral buildings is to allow two years for each $1,000,000 expended. Postmas ter Myers was told, so that he believes that it will be at least two and a half years before the building is ready for occupancy. "President Wilson Is quite the man of the hour in Washington." said Post master Myers. "Congress seems dis posed to give him every assistance in carrying out his policies. In fact, he is handling Congress In pretty much the same way that he handled the leg islature of New Jersey getting Just what he wants without friction or sore spots. He is thoroughly the master of the situation, and it is freely predicted that he will be one of the greatest presidents since the Civil War." That the Administration's tariff bill will be enacted without serious opposi. tion, and that Congress will probably adjourn immediately after its enact ment, leaving the currency question and other problems to be tackled at a later session. Is the opinion of the new Postmaster. ' "While some of the Western Sena tors are not entirely satisfied with schedules affecting their states," he said, "they consider the Underwood Ad ministration bill as a whole so much better than the existing Payne-Aldrich schedules, that they will offer no serious protest. In all probability.' Oregon Senntors Prominent. "Both Oregon Senators are remark Ably well-placed on committee." said Postmaster Myers. "Either Senator Chamberlain or Senator Lane is on ....... rt n m m I ( f AA whtrh hSS tO dO With matters affecting Oregon.

LUMBERMENSGETS LEASE Bank to Occupy Entire Ground Floor of Present Building. The Lumbermens National Bank has taken leases on the entire ground floor of the Lumbermens building at the northwest corner of Fifth and . Stark streets, and the space will be occupied by the banking offices of the National bank and those of the Lumbermens Trust & Savings Bank, which is now being organized. The whole quarter block of floor space will be 'used except the public corridor and elevators maintained for tenants of the upper floors. The bank has relinquished Its lease of the Public Library property at Seventh and Stark streets, with consent of John W. Blodgett, the owner. E. G. Craw ford, one of the vice-presidents, recent ly went East and met Mr. Blodgett in Chicago, where he presented the views of the officers and directors of the bank. It was finally decided to accept their recommendation that the option be released and that the bank remain where it is. This was entirely satis factory to Mr. Blodgett. "We do not believe we could better our present location, considering its proximity to the business center of Portland," said G. K. Wentworth, presl. dent of the bank, discussing the plans yesterday. "In a previous interview I was in correctly quoted, what I had to say evidently being misunderstood," he continued. "The work of enlarging the quarters of the bank has already been begun, and will be prosecuted rapidly." SALOONS ARE UNDER BAN Governor West Notifies Officials of Crook and Metollus Counties. SALEM.
