USE IF WOOD URGED Realty Men Hold State Saves ' Nothing by' Burning Oil. LEGISLATURE MAY BE TOLD Report Read at Board Meeting Ad vocates Aiding Home Industry. . Mr. Bates Speaks on Flan to V Make City Beautiful. An appeal for the use of Oregon cord wood In place of oil as fuel in all state end public institutions was made at the luncheon meeting of the Portland Ileal ty Board yesterday. A report, read by II. P. Palmer, chair. irran of a special committee, censured state authorities for ordering the in etailation of oil burners in state build Intrs. ostensibly to save fuel expense, and nointed out how the use of wood as fuel redounds to the financial benefit of inany classes of workmen in this state. "The savins' made through the in' fctaliation of oil burners is only imagin. ary," said the report. "For the pur chase of oil sends nearly all the money out of Oregon, whereas we should be purchasing local products ana neip various classes or Oregonlans oy Keep In? our money at home in harmony with the general spirit of patronizing liome industry. Legislature May Be Reminded, The matter was referred to the ex ecutive committee with power to act. It is probable that the legislature will be reminded of the points brought out In the committee report In place of Emery Olmstead, presi dent of the Rose Festival Association, who was prevented from speaking on the 1915 Festival because of illness. Phil S. Bates, general manager of the festival, delivered a stirring address on "City Pride." After outlining the preparations for entertainment that have been devised by the various cities of California and telling of the generous spirit of hospi tality which greeted the Portland Rosarlans on their- recent trip south, Sir. Bates explained the plans laid by the Festival Association, through Its city beautiful committee and similar agencies, to make Portland attractive during the coming months, when he said thousands would visit Kortiana en route to or from the San Francisco ex. position and the large National con ventions at Seattle. Palntlna Campaign Planned. "We are trying to make Portland the most beautiful city in the world by plastering rose bushes everywhere and cleaning up the city," said Mr. Bates. "Next week we shall engage In a great painting campaign which should give all buildings a freshness of appear ance that will make things shine. Also, when the Rose Festival is on In ear liest, we want to see window boxes of flowers along the front of every buna lng on the main streets of the city." Several members of the Board dis cussed the feasibility of a state license for realty brokers, but a definite set tlement of the question was postponed until next week's meeting. Auto Show Plana Told. On behalf of the Portland Automo bile Dealers' Association, George D. Lee told of the plans of the coming auto show and enlisted the co-operation of the Realty Board. . - E. J. Condon, president of the Se curity Development Company, presided and members of his sales force fur nished the music at the luncheon, Mr. Condon himself rendering a solo. At the close of the luncheon Presi dent Dean Vincent passed around a huge box of raisins that had been sent . to him by the Fresno Realty Board, with an Invitation from Fresno for the Portland realty men to visit Fresno while en route to the convention of the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges In Los Angeles next June. TAXES LEAGUE'S TOPIC Measures Proposed to Be Talked Over at Meeting Today. . Taxation measures proposed will be the subject of discussion at the luncheon of the Civic League at the Multnomah Hotel today. Mrs. G. L. Buland will apeak on the community property bill, in which husband and wife are given community ownership in all property acquired after the passage of the act, and which provides that the dower right is retained In all property ac quired before the passage of the act. Taxation questions will be discussed In detail by County. Assessor Henry E. Reed and by E. S. Huckaby, deputy tax collector, in the following topics: A closer definition of "true cash value"; sectlODizing Portland for taxation pur poses: attachments and tax lien to personal property; regulation of the ac quisition of real estate by municipal corporations: amendment to the law covering manner and time of paying taxes, and repeal of the law requiring the advertisement of delinquent taxes. FRITZ PILGERJjOUND OVER Man Vbo Used Umbrella as Weapon Lectured by Court. Frits Pilger. who thrust the tip of an umbrella through the nose of Jo seph M. Quinn, was bound over to the grand jury by District Judge Dayton yesterday under $3000 bonds. The charge against him was assault with a dangerous weapon. In his defense. Pilger said Quinn had annoyed him. and that he had seized the opportunity while the other man was sitting down to strike him. "It was a vicious attack," said Judge Dayton. "Only the rarest good fortune saved Quinn from death. A half inch difference in the angle of the blow, and the umbrella tip would have pene trated the brain." FREAK AD BANNER MAY GO Ordinance Aimed to Curb Street Advertising- With Animals, Too. Curbing of freak street advertising banners is proposed in an ordinance to be presented to the City Council either by Commissioner Bigelow or the city license bureau. Itis probable the measure will be up within a short time. It is said there is an increasing num ber of long, clumsy banners mounted on wagons which are pulled about the streets by men The affairs seriously Interfere with traffic. It is probable also that the new ordinance will pro hibit the use of animals in street ad vertising propositions. 13 -WILL TRY FOR NAVY Examination for Appointment to . Academy to Be Held Today.

The examination is in charge of Hop- kin Jenkins, principal of the school, and Includes history, Kngiisn, antnmetiu. geometry and geography. Each appli cant will be Informed that any physi cal defect will bar him from taking the examination. The highest grade will entitle the scholar to be named principal by Repre sentative Lafferty, and the next three will be alternates.

SLOGANS EXCEED 4000 CONTEST ENDS AD CHOICE WILL BE MADE) TUESDAY. Comical and Poetic Expressions Com- pete With Those la Prose-Rose and "Portland" Used In Every One. The Rose Festival slogan contest closed last night at S o'clock, with more than 4000 slogans piled up, and next Tuesday afternoon the result will be made known. Many of the slogans submitted were identical. Every one has the word "rose" used in some connection, usually with the word Portland." Slogans came from people in all walks of life, from deep-sea divers to tourists. Portland people in the East submitted slogans and sent them to headquarters with apologies for being out of the city.. Some slogans were brought in, frequently with the plea that "his wife had asked him to.' When opened it was found that the man's name was signed. Others were submitted "by my little girl." with the slogan written in father's bold hand and his name at tached. Many of the would-be prizewinners submitted funny slogans, and it is from these that the campaign manager has had many a joyous laugh. In several cases one person submit- ted as many as 15 slogans. One slogan of unusually pretty design was written on heavy drawing paper on which was painted large pink buds. each, contain ing a cunning Kewpie. Others came typewritten, still others in long hand, and others printed or painted In various forms. While most of the slogans are es sentially the same in theme, some are exceptionally snappy and well-ex pressed. Poetry seemed to be the fa vorite form of expression, and the ones written with scrupulous regard for meter and rhythm are set off by those which have neither. On the whole, the members of the board of directors expect to have an arduous task on their hands when they choose the 1915 slogan.
