The canvas falls. In the TJtuid clearness of the flood light, tt presiding genius of Portland's fiesta stands unveiled. The instrument that cuts the cord. lnelepatly known as the guillotine, was dated by James F. Ketchem, and Is th-t which loosed the battleship Oreg.n when she first knew the cool kissof her element. In charge at the nnvillns will be Charles A. Savarlau, cif electrician. Well, Portland is ready. So say president Larimore and his almost ex hausted but still unquenchable aides. The park blocks at Festival Center are acres ot vivid bloom. The city Is decked with more flags than a doeen July Fourths might muster. Elec tricity lies in harness for the word to leap along hundreds of miles of wire, and garb the town in an evening rgown as brilliant as that the butterfly wears at noon. Patriotism Rules Oar All, But this is marked that now. as never before, the tenor of decorations, the trend of conception through each day of the wondrous floral fiesta. Is pure, unalloyed patriotism. The Japanese Association of Port land, smiling and enthusiastic, declares 1 it felt impelled to bear one part in the actual preparations for the city's triple holiday. And so, all yesterday, at the big grandstand, before L,add School, the association labored cheer fully and to fetching purpose in the decoration of that shrine' of music There are scores and scores of 11th hour problems. Just as there always are. but the directors are tossing them Into the disposed-of files with the celerity of long practice. For Instance, there arose a strong demand for an Industrial parade feature. Industrial Feature Added, They put it up to Gus Moser, who Airects the destinies of the floral parade, to be held Friday, and an ad ditional unit, the Industrial one, has been added to that processional. It will comprise floral floats and dec J orated automobiles, and the cars and j floats are to be permitted to carry ad- vertlsing. But the advertising must I be approved by censors, and the flow- . S ers must bloom on every entry. t o-: As to roses, the gardeners say that wi-jL another day of sunshine will bring them blooming forth on every hedge and buah in all Portland and round- T F' about. But President Larimore is in sistent that backward weather shall v not play any Jests with the Festival, while the hills and heights, and the f- fields and glens, with which Portland w .Us liberally endowed, are redolent and o sightly with the queenly iris, the lupin f i 1,1 and Scotch bloom, and others of the 5 wild cousins of the floral queen, Fort es jr4and s rose.

Adventures of the United States collier Caesar, sent with a Christmas cargo to the starving people of Syria, are recounted in a log of the vessel, given out today with the consent of the Navy Department by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief. The supplies have not yet reached the Syrians. Beginning her voyage with a slight collision in New York harbor, the Caesar encountered a near-hurrican in the middle Atlantic. So severe was the northwester that the vessel was com pelled to turn and face it more than once. The supply of oil stored on deck was thrown overboard to calm the sea. Two hundred and fifty tone of fresh water were pumped out of the tanks, and finally the screw became fouled by a nine-inch hawser which was being dragged astern to steady the vessel. One sailor was washed overboard, but was saved through the presence of mind of an officer. Other members of the crew were badly Injured by being thrown about, so that upon arriving at the Azores It was necessary to restow the cargo and to give the men some liberty. The remainder of the Journey was uneventful until Alexandria was reached, on January 19, where it was found to be impossible, because of the German submarine menace, to proceed to -Beirut and discharge the cargo. An examination of the cargo by Lloyd's agent revealed that little damage had been done. This was covered by in surance.

Sohpomores confidently expected their dance, depicting the rescue of King Mentor by his mother, Eos, god dess of the Dawn, in whose honor the games were held, to win first place, but the freshman dance was a surprise to the whole college. The synopsis follows: Stumbling through the heavy shad ows of early morning, a forlorn group of maidens makes its way along the high road. The gray dawn reveals the- wayside temple of Eos, and in their weariness the maidens sink in prayer bef ore the sacred shrine. Revived by the assurance of protection of Eos, against their pursuers, their joy finds expression in a dance. Bat before the dance Is done, the dire "Alalai, Alalai" sends them cowering to the altar. Warriors, drunken with conquest, rush in. Boastingly they exhibit their strength in a mighty dance. They see the maidens. Approaching they taunt they seize them. In frenzied appeal the maidens call upon Eos. Suddenly over the struggling - crowd a hush falls, and, staggering, the mighty warriors retreat, blinded by the Spirit of Darkness, sent by Eos. Then reveal ing under her black robe the tender hues of the Dawn, the Spirit leads the maidens to safety. - Miss Alice Judson. as Eos. was the principal dancer, and she was ably as sisted by Ruth Austin, Edyth Auty, Katherine Brosnan, Marion Kaufmann, Alice Barrington, Beatrice Becker, Amy Jennings, Lucille Marsh, Beryl Siegbert and Helen Wilcox.- Although the dancers did not have to wear stockings, they did so, as the Barnard authorities believed that the girls in the "mob" shoald cover up the legs exposed to the public eye by the shortness of the Greek dress. This Is the third year the girls have worn sandals, but It is .the first -that they have worn stockings, which is believed to be sightly "un-Greek" by some of the ..classical students. MONUMENT IS ACCESSIBLE Automobile Line Reaches Mukuntu- weap Region In Utah. NEW YORK. June 8. Plans have been perfected by which a new scenlo attraction in the Intermountain region will be made accessible to tourist and traveler this Summer.

The sculptured walls of Little Zion rise to dizzy heights and disclose remarkable formations. The erosion of countless centuries has cut down this Jiish plateau and formed a series of impos ing temples, cathedrals and spires. One of the unique features of the region is the Government's sawmill on the high plateau above the valley. The lumber is lowered to the ranchers be low on a wire cable 2000 feet long.

LABORERS TO COME FIRST Requests for Advances Because of Higher Cost of Living Are Con sidered and Almost Every Office Is Affected. Sweeping salary and wag increases, affecting nearly every department of the county government and practically all offices at, the Courthouse, were con sidered at a "star chamber- session of the County Commissioners yester day. The proposed increases, if put Into effect, would amount to several thousand dollars a month, it was stated later. All unskilled laborers now earning 12.50 a day were ordered increased to $2.75 a day temporarily, with the un derstanding that a still further Increase to 3 will be forthcoming as soon as the department heads sanction it Car penters and painters were raised from the present scale of I a day to the new union scale of $4.50. It was learned later that no definite action was taken relative to increases in salary to those who are on a month ly basis, although the Commissioners waded, through a mass of petitions from every branch of the county service. Deputies In nearly every, office In the Courthouse are affected by Increases which have been asked- for and which the Commissioners have under consid eration, SS4.000 Left ta Emenency Fond. When the county budget was adopted the first half of the year, no provision was made for salary and wage in creases, which. It is said, have been made necessary through the advanced cost of living. If any increase is made in salaries of deputies at the Court house it must be paid from the emer gency fund. In the annual budget the emergency fund was put at $49,000, but this was later Increased to $149,000. Of this amount there now remains in the emergency fund $84,000. It was said by one county official that this amount would In no way meet the demands if the proposed salary in creases are granted. It was pointed out that -there are several projects under way which will cost considerable more than had been allowed, for andi these deficits must be made up from the emergency fund. County Can Raise PT Despite the fact that a majority of the deputies of the county are paid a prescribed amount In accordance with the state laws. - it was asserted that the Commissioners can raise salaries by .declaring an emergency to exist. In some of the county offices depu ties are placed on a sliding salary scale basis and the Commissioners can increase the monthly pay checks oU a large- number of deputies without in voklng the emergency feature. Reporters who were In the room dur ing the open session of the board were made to leave by Chairman Holman be fore any discussion of the salary and wage problem was taken. VICE WAR EVIL IN TORONTO Canadian Social Survey Tears Mask of Hypocrisy From City. TORONTO, June .1.' Sir ' Hamar Greenwood's speech on the social evil cannot be ignored either In Britain or Canada. The stupid cowardice of the ostrich hiding his head in the sand has filled the cup of misery and disaster to overflowing. Cowardly neglect, prurl ent fear and weak self deception have P EAR L ORTENING had their day. and have too long di rected official helplessness. Toronto, with a highly efficient po lice force, eagerly determined on sup pression, armed with unusual author ity, restrained by no obstructing in fluence, and conscientious in its work, has faithfully tried to meet the high est demand of Its best citizenship. And the social survey has ruthlessly torn the mask of hypocrisy from Toronto's face. This was before war assembled the young manhood of Canada in camps. Civilian and soldier are alike menaced. We need not limit our ad vice and indignation to Great Britain. The problem that demands all our courage and energy is here in our midst. We turn the most difficult of all so ciological problems over to the polloe. asking only that they do not make it Impossible for us to keep ourselves in Ignorance. Stamping out is a failure. The problem requires brains, not feet. It may be well to banish the hope ol any Immediate betterment. A broader en lightenment is necessary, and that is of slow growth. -Cowardly and calamitous silence will continue to rule, and the courageous reformer will meet the fate of all pioneers. Dr. Clarke, superln tendent of the General Hospital in To ronto, should be assisted and encour aged in the efforts he has courageously made. He knows the menace, and knows also the mass of ingrained pre- ludioe and conventional timidity that must be assailed and modified before results of real moment can be achieved. All that can be accomplished under the present outlook is the encouragement of the pioneers who are willing to lead the way toward a broader understand ing and a united effort against the most Insidious and dangerous menace of modern society.
