TITE MORVTXG OREGONTAW. FRIDAY,. APRIL 16, 1915. 19 OREGON ROSEJULIP ANDPANSYIN GLORY Flowers From North Are Mar vel of Thousands of Expo sition Visitors. SUPERB CLIMATE COUNTS Chief of Gardens Tells of Quests He Is Constantly Mating for Ore iron Wild Bulbs, I'nknown Klsewhere in World. BY .VXNB SHANNON MONROE. KXPO.SITION BUIIJ3ING, Kan Fran cisco, April 13. When Mrs. O. M. Clark, wife ot President Clark, of the Oregon Commission, arrived at the Oregon buildiiiR- yesterday for a six weeks stay, Mr. Jjennis, caretaker of the building, presented her with a single perfect Portland ro.se that had blos somed out only that morning from its box Just at the entrance. The rose was named for Mrs. Clark at the dedi catory exercises of the Kosarians last .December. Before leaving Mrs. Clark said to Mr. Dennis: "Take (rood care of my rose and have it blooming for me when I Ret back." Mr. Dennis has faithfully watered and tended his charge and true to his hope, the petals yester day burst their buntis and it smiled full blown into his face when he went out to take his morninsr look at it, and a little later, in walked Mrs. Clark! A beautiful and tremendously ap preciated gift to the Oregon building this week was a mammoth offering of "the OreKon tulip," by Or. J. iS. Bishop, who originated and grew this tulip at Forest Grove. The great glorious cups, creamy white, laree and long stemmed and unusually satiny-petaliei, were placed in the center of the infor mation booth which is located in the center of trie building and they at tracted a throng of people. The gift is most timely, for this in tulip time In the great south gardens and the .'etherland gardens of the Exposition. OrtKon Pbmt .Pavea Way With 4d. Another flower face smiling in hundreds of thousands at the Exposi tion guests as they enter the main Scott street entrance is an Oregon pansy. Oi-eat 'beds covering areas extending nil the way from .Festival nail to the Netherlands gardens just before the Inside Inn are golden masses of color, the pansy faces being so thick as to show scarcely a leaf nf green. K. J. Steel, of Portland, supplied 200.000 yel low pansy plants to the Exposition and they are truly paving their way in Bold. Wondering about many things. 1 called on Carl Purdy, chief of the gar dens. Mr. Purdy is from llkiah, Men docino County, where he lias large gar dens and gives especial attention to Pacific Coast bulbs. J got him to talk ing about Oregon, for he knows it root and branch, and he told me many fas cinating things. Of course I asked him if he did not think we had the most wonderful roses In all the world rip in Portland, and he laughed in my face. "Yon have no better roses than any other place. " he said: "it is your su perb climate that docs it. The same roses planted elsewhere would not give the Oregon effect." Omton Wild Bullions Plants nrantlfnl. Mr. Purdy's main business in life is collecting the wild bulbs and plant's from Oregon, Washington and Califor nia, which he in turn sends out all over the East and Europe for garden use. He has people roving the hills and val leys from Southern California to Brit ish Columbia a good part of each year and one man gives his time exclusive ly to Oregon, going up through South ern Oregon, over to the Tillamook, then to Hood Kiver. the Blue Moun tains, the Klamath country, Pelican Bay, Grizzly Butte and back to Ash land. He begins his quest in March and is at it from seven to nine months. He says Oregon has many beautiful wild bulbous plants that belong to the lily family. I asked him if lie Im proved these wild things and he looked at me sadly. "As If you could paint the lily," was his answer. Alany of the Oregon bulbs Mr. Purdy has sent to Holland have come into competition with Oregon bulbs that ha had sold direct to Australia. He con siders Oregon's fawn lilies among her most beautiful bulbs. Of course he uses a big botanical name, but this la the name we know them, by, and he says. Oregon has the largest number, naturally, and the most beautiful bulbs in the world. In Southern Oregon there is a species of tiger lily not found anywhere else in the world. It was discovered tlrst 50 years ago and hen it was lost. Mr. Purdy redis covered it recently. In South western Oregon are Mariposa tulips not found anywhere else in the world. These abound particularly in Josephine Coun ty. In Southwestern Oregon there are more trees, shrubs and plants not known in any other one spot on earth. He spoke particularly of the weeping spruce and myrtle. YARD RECEIPTS SILL ESTOf.lv MARKET IS IX STEADY CONDITION. frvernl Hunches of Steers Are Sold at 7 to 7.40 at North Portland.

Forcible entrance into a Chinese store at 84 Second street on the ground that Chinese gamblers were supposed to be escaping through a secret door in the walls of the building, caused threats of a lawsuit against the police Wednesday night. Patrolman Martin "Jimmied" the store door and- burst into the room. When Martin failed to locate the secret door, the attorney for the Chinese threatened a lawsuit, and complained to Captain Inskeep, who held that Mar tin was justified in his action. In a raid on an alleged gambling game at 82 Second street earlier in the evening by Lieutenant Harms, with Ser geant Van Doein and Patrolmen Martin and Abbott, eight Chinese were arrested on a charge of visiting a gambling game. Hi Kong, the proprietor, was charged with conducting a gambling game. Six other Celestials were ar rested in a raid on an alleged gambling game at 80 Vi Second street.

EAST 1Y GET WHEAT Large Rail Shipments From! Coast Probable. ONLY OUTLET FOR SURPLUS Price Advance at Chicago and Lack of Response Here Create Spread In Values; Canal Steam ers Are Taking: Some. The continued advanofe in wheat prices at Chicago has resulted in a spread between the Eastern and Western markets that makes possible the shipping of wheat by rail from Oregon and Washington across the Rockies. The surplus that remains in the Pacific Northwest will either go to the Middle Western or Eastern States .or re main in the possession of present holders here, as there is no way of getting it to Europe through the customary channels. While Ba&tern wheat prices have been climbing fast, the local market has made no response, as there has been no way open to ship the wheat out of the country, except In small quantities. No steam or sail ton nage is available on the Pacific, and on the Atlantlo rates are so profitable to ship owners that they will not send their vessers hero. The only outlet, therefore, for the sur plus that remains on the Pacific Coast Is the Middle West and Eastern markets. Steamer tonnage to New York is difficult to obtain, notwithstanding the rrequent serv ice given by the two lines, sls the larger part of the cargo handled by them is gen eral merchandise. For this reason, local grain men believe it probahle that a large volume of rail business in wheat can be worked up. May wheat sold as high as 1.03H at Chicago yesterday. On the local oxenange. milling bluestem could be bought at SI. 32. While In theory wheat prices here and at Chicago are such that Northwestorn wheat could be sold In the Eastern States, yet up to the present tlmo there has been lacking the demand to make such transactions actual. A little further widening of the spread, however, would no doubt produce results. On the local exchange yesterday wheat prices held close to the former range. Five thousand bushels of May forryfold were sold at S1.20. Oats and barley wero quiet and unchanged. On the Sound all grains were firmer than here. The flour market continues quiet. There is no particular demand for foreign ship ment, but parcels are going forward to New York and also to the West Coast. Other wise there Is no shipping call, locally the flour market Is quiet, due to the fact that prior to the advhnce buyers stocked up liberally, and many of them are carrying supplies sufficient to last them two months yet. Consumers as well as the trade fol lowed this course. Receipts, In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows; Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay.

In spite of dull markets In the big Eastern manufacturing centers and an effort to talk down prices there has been no decline In tho price of wool, according to a statement made by the Inland Empire Woolgrowers Association, The report states that there is nothing to warrant a revision In prices ae some manu facturers and dealers assert. On the other hand It Is said there are coming to light new factors which will tend to keep up the price of wool, ona or which is that the drouth In Australia last season caused a de crease In wool production of nearly 100,000. 000 pounds. It Is also declared there will be a great reduction In the amount of wool shorn this Spring In the Middle West. This reduction is partly due to the quarantine caused by the foot-and-mouth disease, as the usual number of feeders were not shipped to the corn belt. There will also be a great shortage In the amount of wools shorn at the railroad feeding stations. Probably not over 25 per cent of the usual number will be shorn, as the sheep generally are going to market with the wool on, as there is such a difference between the price paid for shorn and wooled stock. The premium packers are paying for wooled sheep Indicates that owners are re alizing in excess of 25 cents per pound for their wool on the sheep now being marketed. This does not affect the total amount of wool shorn this season, because the packers will market the wool If the farmers do not, yet this reduction In weight of grease wool takes the marketing of a large amount of wool out of the hands of the dealers and. naturally will leave them free to secure sup plies elsewhere. BXKOPE HEAVY BUYER OF SUGAR Enormous Purchases of Raws' Excite New York Market. The Eastern sugar market has become very firm. Raws scored advances of nearly 20 points yesterday at New York. Trading was on an enormous scale and estimates of the sales ran as high as 400,000 tons. Of this quantity up to 100,000 tons were bought by England and France for shipment with in the next sO days. .Refined grades were not altered, but an uplift Is looked for. Sup plies in the country of refined are not be lieved to be large, and the opinion has been expressed that it requires only a moderate advauca in raws to bring about an active biivinc movement by domestic aistr!hutnr& Tho next sugar crop it Germany Is a quite uncertain quantity and ia not limited by government. Latest advices from Ger many Indicate the sowing of beets will show a decrease of from 10 to 15 per cent. Many growers will plant beets on "spec ulation"; that La to say. tbey will make no contracts for delivery at time of planting, but when the beets are about matured will sell the crop to the highest bidder, either to sugar manufacturers, distillers or for cat tle food, the price of the latter two being high, owing to war conditions. STRA WBKRRTE S ARE SOLD TO ARRIVE First Carload From Lm Angeles Will Be in This Mom in sr.

WIDE ADVANCES ARE MADE Leading Speculative Is- -;s Are In Demand; Heavy Gold Imports From .Canada; Favorable Showing- by Bank of England. NEW YORK. April 15. Although the volume of business was slightly under that of la-3t Friday's, today's stock market sur passed all records for . considerably over a year in the strength and scope of its up ward sweep. Over 200 separate and distinct issues were traded in, among these being a number of stocks whose long period of in activity had all but caused them to be for gotten. One of the reassuring features of the ses sion was the comparative quiescence of Bethlehem Steel, which remained In retire ment after Its early advance and closed with a 1-polnt loss. In the final hour, sev eral recessions of a point or two resulted, but net gains of 2 to 5 points were recorded in various stocks, while, among Inconspicuous specialties even greater advances were made. Union Pacific, United States Steel and other speculative favorites repeated their high prices of a day or two ago and many other stocks of high and low degree rose to levels unequaled la several years. Almost the only stocks to reflect backwardness w-cre those comprising the motor group, but even Ihelr losses were nominal in com parison with their gains of the last few weeks. Engagement of $7,o0 0OO gold from Canada and Intimations of additlonsl Im ports from the Orient were among the more Interesting developments bearing upon the general financial situation. Exchange on Germany was a trifle firmer and remit tances to lAndon showed no material change In that quarter. Americans were irregular In London. Canadian Issues being lower, with a better demand for trtnscontlnentals. The Bank of England reported a dectded gain in its gold holdings, the ' first In several weeks, to gether with a slight strengthening of its reserve liabilities. Total Kales of stocks smounted to 1.250, OOO shares. Following some early irregularity, the bond market turned strong. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4.09O,0i.

Acute icsreity of wheat reserves predicted tor the near future had a bullish efrct today on the whfat mar ket lire, but rural holders were fatd to t selling a little mor freely, and Kme of tlie Kain in prloe disappeared.

More over, aeeertions were current tbat fully 8.OO0.000 bushels of fipring- wheat had been sold to leave Duluth as soon as possible after the opening of the Greet Lakes navi gation season, beginning at mldnipht tontarht. Corn was helped upward by wheat trena:th and by continued reports of crop damare in Arrentins. In the oats trade free buying of .lulv and selling of May by houses that generally act for the seaboard caused a decided narrow ing of the spread between the two deliv eries. There was also a good deal of specu lative buying of July.
