THE above Is , the . revised pro gramme of festivities which will be given during the Second An nual Rose Festival, which begins one. week from tomorrow. The Festival management has had so many inquiries as to the detailed events of the 'week that It has exhausted its entire supply of programme "inserts' and post cards, which have been 'sent out by the tens of thousands, that it has deemed It necessary tQ ask. the newspapers to publish a copy of the list of events so as to WiBure the greatest publilcty of the manifold attractions. Letters and long-distance telephone calls by the .hundreds have been re ceived during the last few days from towns in the Willamette Valley, from towns up and down . the. river, from places over In Washington, and the general tone of tbem Is that the people are greatly. Interested. In. tb Festi val; that they want to see as mneh of It as they can; but' for the most part. Inquirers say they will, not be able to come here and stay the entire week, and. therefore, they desire to select the most convenient days of the week, when their duties will perimt them to be here. General Manager Hutchin replied by letter to a great number of the in quiries received and he urged one and all to come and stay as long as pos sible, but added that no matter which day or days were selected, there would he attractions enough to please the most exacting. In order to realiie something of the magnitude of the plans which are bring consummated to make the Fes STRANGE VEHICLE DESIGNED, BUILT AND PROPELLED BY PORTLAND BOY.

Henry Breske. 13 years. old. and "fond of making things," is the designer, manufacturer and owner of a new and. original species of automobile. It is rather startling to meet a machine that seems to combine the most Interesting features of the ordinary streetcar, auto and river steamer In one glorious though diminutive whole: especially when the entire contrivance is only about 3 feet high. 5 feet long and feet wide, and runs gaily at 'good speed down the middle of Fifth street, threading its way through the traffic without vis ible chauffeur or motive agency. The fact i. however, that the machine is just large enough to contain Henry, lying prone but comfortable on a blanket pad. There Is an ingeniously concealed door for his exits and entrances, and Inside there are levers and. cranks and things which somehow make the machine go. but 'not like an ordinary Irish mail." as Henry proudly states. There Is a warning gong, too. in a cigar-box wood rae. It started out in life as an alarm clock. Henry got it "in a trade" with another boy, and promoted it to its present honorable position. It became nervous while being photographed for The Oregonian and went off with a whirr which proclaimed its humbler origin. Henry lay awake nights thinking out his machine and put It together and tore it apart several times .before It suited him.- It isn't one of those autos that cost, a fortune, however. Much of the material was "traded." though the wheels and axles had to be paid for in hard cah. Tlie windows were once parts of an old flv screen and broken front door lights, and some of the wood came from "a boy's father who was tear ing down a building." But the result is very valuable to the owner, though, like other owners, he would probably sell "if he could get bis price." The machine is operated by "boy" power. Has Been Exhausted and Each Day Entries in Parades. tival the grandest civic demonstration in the history of Portland, it need only be said that there are more than 2a committees now at work every day, and each one of them is in charge of some important part of the week's celebra tion. Never before has Portland been able to gather together such an aggregation of enthusiastic workers as those who are now winding up the preliminary details of the Festival. The parade committees, the grand ball committee, the advertising committee, the float committee,, the dozen and one other committees have all reported that they have their own particular functions well in hand, and that they will make their part of the jubilee a success, ir respective of what the other committees may do. A meeting of the executive commit tee was held at Festival headquarters yesterday afternoon and a complete canvass was made of the work that had been done so far, and the result was entirely satisfactory. It was so satis factory that, after adjournment. Presi dent C. A. Whitemore remarked that the Festival would be, without any question whatever, the grandest and most - attractive celebration that the Pacific Northwest had ever held. Thousands of people from out-of-town have sent in application for ac commodaions. including board and room for anywhere from one, two and three days, to this entire week. Tele grams have been received from two tourist parties now en route from the Kast requesting reservations for the entire week. Seattle has sent over requisitions for quarters for hundreds of visitors who are coming from East ern Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, to see the maneuvers of the battleship fleet in Puget Sound waters and who will return home by way of Portland following the departure of the fleet. The railroad companies have ar ranged to extend the time on all round trip tickets, so that this side trip may be taken. This will mean that the estimate which the Festival management has been making right along 100,000 strangers here for the Festival does not look like an exaggeration, for every town and city in Oregon will be largely represented, many coming from far-away Klamath Falls to see the Festival, because that city has en tered one of the most expensive floats in the "Spirit of the Golden West" pa rade. Every town of any size along the line of the Southern Paoific has sent in applications for accommoda tions to the Information and Accom modation Bureau. The towns in South western Washington have asked for similar accommodations, while Cali fornia will send large delegations to the great 100-mile and 50-mile auto mobile road races, to the convention of the Pacific Coast Admen's Association and to the meet of the Pacific North west Association, to be held on Mult nomah Field, Saturday. June 6. In addition to this, three or four spe cial cars of commercial organization members of the Southern state will be here on a junket trip and will visit not only the Rose Festival, but will take side trips up and down the Columbia River, and probably over to the Sound before returning. The Studebaker Bros. Company an nounced yesterday that it would give a special trophy of a $200 trap to t.iie best decorated vehicle in the horse and carriage parade, and it Is believed that this tender will result in the offering of many more such prizes worth con tending for. The list of entries in this cavalcade are coming in by the tens and dozens every day. until it is now assured that there will be a parade. In length and beauty, never equalled in any demon stration ever undertaken in Portland. More than 200 entries have been listed, and at the rate they are coming, this one parade should be not less than four miles in length, and every pleas ure and commercial vehicle, every saddle-horse and pony in line artistically decorated in floral effects. Chairman McAllister, of the Water Carnival committee, has received a let ter from Mayor Lane, in -which the latter has consented to have the city's fireboat appear in the marine pageant, and work of decorating the fire-fighter will be done by members of the de partment. Chief Campbell has assured this committee, as well as the commit tee of the competitive horse and car riage and vehicle committee, that he will gladly order out every piece of Brings Additional Inquiries and New fire-fighting apparatus thac can be spared. The Baggage At Omnibus Transfer Company has tendered six of Its large wagons for the Thursday morning pa rade, and in addition will give a cash prize of $100 to the society that will decorate one of the wagons in the most artistic manner. This will give the fraternal organizations of the city a fine opportunity to compete for this money. The Riverside Driving Club, has an nounced that it will furnish the of ficial colors of that organization to every entry that .is made in the horse and carriage parade, no matter where from. This offer is open to private owners in Portland and anywhere else, and is made for the purpose of having all entries uniform in character. WOODMEN TO BE IX LINE lore Than 4000 to Pa rude on "Woodmen lay" of tlie Festival. The Woodmen of the World have prac tically completed their programme for Woodmen day of the Rose Festival. It is expected that at least 4000 members will be in line when the men form ranks on Morrison, off Tenth,- - Eleventh and Twelfth streets, at 2 o'clock, Saturday afternoon.- June -6.' Of the -several thou san 1 members of the crder in rank, more than 400 will be of the uniform degree. At least ten floats from various cities of the state which will send delegations will be in line. These floats will in nearly all cases -be emblematic of the order in design. The parade will be in five divisions. The W. O. W. float will be in the lead, followed by the uniform rank. A. I. Barbur, as grand marshal, will head the parade and will have as his chief aid C. C. Bradley. Following the uniform rank will come the bands of the order, after which will come the other members of the order in march. The last division will consist of the floats from out of town. There will be a meeting today of the delegates from each of the camps in this city and Vancouver to discuss further plans for the parade. On Sunday follow ing the parade, the members of the or der will observe the anniversary of the founding of the order as memorial day. Next Friday night there will be a mass meeting of Woodmen in the W. O. W. Hall, when final instruction will be given in regard to the programme for Woodmen day. Roses Will Be Plentiful. Rose cranks around the Commercial Club were talking over the prospects yes terday for good roses next week, when the festival opens. It was the opinion of a number of rose culturists who were discussing the matter after luncheon, that the week will open with- an abundance of roses, which will be even better than had the past few months been warm instead of rainy. If the bright weather only con tinues now, say rosarians, the display of Portland roses will be- the best in the his tory of the city. While it is thought the Caroline Testouts will not be at their best the first of the week when the fes tival opens, it is believed they will be perfect before the close of the festival.

NOT GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE Judge Bronnugh So Decides in Suit of Minnie 51. Kane. Minnie M. Kane and Joseph W. Kane, husband and wife, have sworn at each other, with such amazing frequency and liberality that they ought to be used to it by this time, and therefore their exchange of domestic pleasantries could not be held as sufficient basis for a divorce decree. This was the finding of Circuit Judge Bronaugh' yesterday forenoon, in pass ing on the respective merits of their applications for divorce. Each of them had a petition for annulment of their marriage in court. Mrs. Kane said her husband cursed her with regularity and that her feelings were thereby laceratcd and injured. Kane, in a cross-complaint, said that he swore at his wife no more frequently than she swore nt him. There was nothing In the evidence to show that Kane had ever been bru tal or even cruel to Mrs. Kane, and the court said that the mere fact of porfanity. in which they both engaged, would not suffice. "It appears from the evidence that this swearing was customary in the household, so that I doubt if either suffered very much at'being cursed" by the other.'' said Judge Bronausn. "The petitions for divorce will not be al lowed." LOCAL ENGINEERS KNOW Awarded Prize for Correct Answers to Technical Questions. Portland stationary engineers, 'belonging- to tlie local branch of the National Association of Stationary Engineers, have proved themselves among the best in formed, mechanically, in the United States. In November, 1907, a steam spe cialty company of Newark. N. J., offered three prizes for correct answers to 11 questions of a technical character, con cerning mechanical devices. The local society holds weekly meetings for mutual improvement and for conference on mat ters connected with the craft. Since the receipt of the circular announcing the competition, the society discussed the dif ferent questions submitted and finally sent on their replies. Under date of May 15 the Eastern concern wrote to the Portland association that it had been awarded second prize. $3000-for Injuries in Car W reck.

Ar guments In the case were presented before Judge O'Day. She sued for $10, 000 because of injuries sustained in a collision. At the time of the accident.

Sends Telegram to General Confer ence Protesting Against Any Change in Discipline. The convention of the Portland Dis trict Epworth League of the Metho dist Episcopal League, in session at the University Park Methodist Church, yesterday morning, by a vote of 24 to 7, declared itself opposed to the elimination of specification 248 of the Methodist discipline urging and for bidding Methodists to refrain from playing cards, attending theaters, cir cuses, dances and other similar places, of amusement.

Jeffrey rpoke for the resolution and others against. In the forenoon an entertaining paper was read by F. S. Godfrey, of FLY TO PIECES The E'ffect of Coffee on Highly Orgnn Ixcd People. "I have ben a coffee user for years, and about two years ago got into a very serious condition of dyspepsia and indigestion. It seemed to me I would fly to pieces. I was so nervous that at the least noise I 'was distressed, and many times could not straighten my self up because of the pain. "My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or strong food and ordered a diet, giving me some medi cine. I tollowed directions carefully, but kept on using coffee and did not get any better. Last Winter my hus band, who was away on business, had Postum Food Coffee served to him in the family where he boarded. "He liked it so well that when he came home he brought some with him. We began using it and I found it most excellent. While I drank it my stom ach never butht-red me in the least, and I got over my nervous troubles! When the Postum was all gone we returned to coffee, then my stomach began to hurt me as before and the nervous con ditions came on again. "That showed me exactly what was the cause cf the whole trouble, so I quit drinking coffee altogether and kept on using Postum. The old troubles left again and I have never had any trouble since."

The Oregon State horticultural report and the U. S. Government reports today show than an Oregon walnut grove in full bearing will net from 300 to $1000 profit a year per acre, over and above all cost of cultivating, and that there are some walnut groves on record which have produced as high as $5000 profit per year per acre. Walnut culture in Ore gon has never known of a single crop fail ure, furnishing conclusive evidence that absolutely the surest, safest way in the world to gain a large and per manent income for a small outlay is to get hold of a few , acres of walnut orchard in Yamhill County, Oregon. Mr. Thomas Prince, the leading wal nut grower of Oregon and the owner of the largest bearing grove in the North west, has refused $103,000 for 100 acres In walnut trees averaging about 8 years old.
