panv. This subscription, whloh waj
received yesterday by President Hoyt.
Is the strongest Indorsement of the
Festival idea whtrh has up to the pres
ent time been vouchsafed by any In
terest of the city. With the receipt
of this donation, the Rose Festival
now has considerably more than .H.000
in slRht for expenditure for the various
features of the demonstration. This
Rift Is regarded as the most sure Indi
cation of the success of the venture
that has been offend up to the present
time.
The significance of this munificent
contribution is that the Kbse Festival
Idea is firmlv established as a perma
nent institution in the progress and de
velopment of this city. With better
than 30.000 nlready In siKht for the
main celebration, there Is also assured

With similar support throughout the city
and the Plate of Oregon, which we hnpe te
enilst In our effort, there Is not the sIikM
est doubt but that we shall he able to raise
:IM tor the third annual rose festival
next June.
The p ted re of the Portland Railway.
IJa-ht & Power Company stands to the
forefront of ail donations and Is par
ticularly significant from the fact that
President B. S. Josselyn has been com
pletely won f-ver to the Festival idea.
He has to his intimates declared that
the perpetuation ol this form of dem
onstration will evtntually make Port
land one of the- most famous cities of
the l"nited States and Is bound to plve
It universal exploitation abroad where
similar spectacles and juouees are

As a novelty among the features of the
celebration next June will be the spec
tacular electrical float rarade. This will
follow the jrcneral scheme of the Mardl
Gras Festivals of New Orleans and this
p-a-cant. which the streetcar company has
agreed to pay for. will cover most of the
business district of the city on this side of
the river and a lara-e section of the resi
dence district on the Kast Side. In order
to make the pageant all the more effec
tive, all trafilc will be removed from the
various streetcar lines which the route
of the parade will take during: the time of
the procession. The purpose of this Is to
jriv the residents of all portions of the
city an opportunity of witnessing; a pan
oramic street demonstration the like of
which has never before been given on
the Pacific Coast and one which will com
pare favorably with any that has ever
been given at New Orleans, it. Iotlis.
Kansas City or other places where similar
jubilees are a regular part of the social

I'resident Jneselyn was asked for a
letter of commendation .of the Rose

Information Given for-tTse of Tax
payers Organization In Recom
mending; Rate for Municipality
and Multnomah County.
In a circular letter to the members
of the Taxpayers .League, Frederick
W. Mulkey and L. J. Goldsmith, presi
dent ami secretary of that organization,
remind the taxpayers of Multnomah
County that the question of whether or
not the budgets for county and munici
pal expenses for the ensuing year shall
be extravagant or reasonable depends
enftrely on the taxpayers themselves.
In this letter the officers of the league
present a detailed statement of the
city's finances, including a list of the
bonds voted last June, involving an an
nual interest charge of 1209.000, in ad
dition to that already carried by the
city.
Taxpayers ara urged to investigate
the proposed expenditures for the
ensuing year, which Include two
bridges across the Willamette River,
one in North Portland and another in
South Portland: a new County Court
house, County Hospital and grounds and
an increase in teachers' salaries. If
these proposed items are regarded as
excessive or unnecessary, they are ad
vised to register their protest.
The Taxpayers' League expects soon
to hold a general meeting, when vari
ous committees will be appointed to act
officially In the Interest of the people
who pay taxes when the different tax
levying boards meet to fix the rate of
taxation. The full text of the letter
from the league to taxpayers follows:
Text of Official Letter.
To the Members of the Taxpayers League:
As the time is approaching when the
budgets of the city, county and other public
bodies will have to be prepared, we thought
It not Inopportune -to present certain facta
and figures for your consideration.

the bodies having these matters In charge,
aided by employes and department heads.
Whether these budgets be extravagant or
reasonable depends largely upon the tax
payers. If they take no Interest in the mat
ter they should not complain at results.
The taxpayer pays the bill. He can lnrorm
himself, he can make his wishes known and
his Influence felt. When times are good,
business flourishing and the mind of the
oeoiile taken up with making money and
spending it. rather than saving, extravagant
and unnecessary projects are unaenasea
and uBeless expenditures Incurred and ex
penses in all directions increased. It Is
then too often enormous burdens are placed
on property without regard to the future.
In the light of past experience It would
hardly seem necessary to do more than
call attention to the necessity for caution
and prudent expenditure of P'ublic funds.
We urge upon ail taxpayers to carefully
scan proposed expenditures for the ensuing
year, and if in their opinion they are un
necessary or excessive they should not hesi
tate to speak.
We submit the foregoing figures at this
time so that they may be kept in mind and
aiven due consideration, as at a later date
a general meeting of the league will be
called and committees appointed to take
action thereon.

When Petitions Are Circulated for
Defeat of Chamberlain and Elec
tion of Republican Senator Ac
quiescence Is Expected
Systematic efforts on the part of the
antl-s'tatement forces to defeat the elec
tion of Governor Chamberlain as United
States Senator will not be prosecuted
vigorously nntil some time next month.
However, the anti-Chamberlain .forces
in several of the counties are organ
ising a sentiment for the election of a
Republican Senator that will find a big
response from the voters when it Is
decided to circulate the petitions reliev
ing Statement members of the legisla
ture from fulfilling their pledge. These
are the facts reported by those who
are directing the fight against Cham
berlain State Senator S. C. Beach leaves today
for Eastern Oregon to consult with the
leading Republicans of that section and
to Invite their co-operation In the plan
to send a Republican Senator from this
state. For a number of days Senator
Beach has been receiving encouraging
reports from the counties east of Mult
nomah. The effect of these reports Is
that a strong sentiment already has de
veloped for the election of a Repub
lican Senator by the Legislature this
Winter. On his recent trip through
Southern Oregon. Senator Beach yes
terday said he found only one Repub
lican who stood for the election of a
Democratic Senator at this time.
In the meantime the members of the
Sellwood Republican Club are not Idle.
It was this clnb that originally started
the anti-Chamberlain resolutions and
began the circulation of petitions re
lieving the Statement members of the
"Legislature from this county from
keeping their pre-election pledge and
demanding that these Legislators sup
port and at all times vote for a Repub
lican for Senator. These petitions are
now being circulated for signatures.
Members of the Union Republican Club,
which. adopted similar resolutions at Its
last meeting, have not undertaken the
circulation of petitions. This probably
will ba done later in conjunction with a
general movement of the kind to obtain
an expression from throughout the
state.
The Union Republican Club will hold
Its annual meeting soon, when Officers
tor the ensuing year will be elected.
It is the intention to make this meeting
a genuine Republican jubilee for cele
brating the election of Taft and Sher
man and at the same time make it an
Inspiration to the Republicans of the
state in their fight for ft Republican
Senator.
CZAR WALKS AT FUNERAL

of Grand Duke Alexis, ah uncle of the
Emperor of Russia, who die8 recently in
Paris, was interred today In the new
mausoleum of the Romanoffs within the
fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. Em
peror Nicholas followed the coffin on foot
through the crowded and silent streets of

TO VISIT SOUTHERN OREGON
Harrlman Officials to Study Traffic
Problems ot District.
In fvror to learn the need of the
Southern Oregon cities and to co-operate
with them In the development of
that section of the state. Harrlman of
ficials from the local headquarters will
leave Portland tonight to visit the
southern part of the state and meet
the people of that district. The party
will be headed by General Manager
O'Brien, and William McMurray. gen
eral passenger agent, and R. B. Miller,
general freight agent, wiH accompany
him. The trip will be made in Mr.
O'Brien's private car, Oregon.
Ashland. Medford, Grants Pass and
other leading points on the Southern
Pacific will be visited. An insight Into
the actual conditions there as affects
traffic and general railroad service is
to be gained. Not only shippers will be
talked with and consulted, but the plan
is to meet representatives of the people
and learn their needs.
Never before has the spirit of co
operation between the Oregon cities
and Harriman lines been so well de
veloped and so noticeable as at present.
The plan of cha, management of the
rail lines of the state Is to enlist the
entire official staff in the development
of the country served. This helps the
railroads, of course, and it also helps
the state. With the spirit of sympathy
between the railroads and the com
munities so manifest and with commer
cial organizations boosting each city
and the entire state, a wonaertui tuiuro
for Oregon during the coming year Is
assured.
SAYS 5ATAFJ IS HANDSOME
SERMOX BY ELDER MARTIX, OF
ADVEXTIST CHTJRCH.
He Denies Commonly-Accepted Pic
ture of the Devil, and Preaches
' Fill oit Selfishness.
That the devil Is not the horrid-looking
creature pictured by theologians,
but an extremely handsome Individual,
was one of the points made by Elder
W. F. Martin, in his sermon yesterday
morning at the East Portland Seventh
Day AdventlSt Church, East Eleventh
and East Everett streets. The pastor
took for his text Isa. xlv:12-15: "How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning: How are thou cut
down to the ground, which didst weak
en the nations! For thou hast said In
thine heart, I will ascend into heaven; I
will exalt my throne above the stars
of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the
north; 1 will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will be' like the most
high. Yet thou shalt be brought down
to hell, to the sides of the pit"
The speaker said that the individual
caricatured wjth hoofs, horns, a forked
tall and a spear, was once the leader
of the heavenly choir. A plot was
formed against the Omnipotent, with
the result that this archangel, with a
third of the heavenly host, was east
out. In contrast to this spirit of self
exattatlon. Elder Martin quoted the
scripture, referring to Christ, that' "hfe
thought it not a thing to be grasped
to be equal with God."
The speaker went on to say that thia
traitor to the throne brought the same
argument to bear on Eve when he told
her she would be like God if she ate
the forbidden fruit. "The spirit of self
ishness Is the greatest curse of the
world today." said the pastor. "It was
the cause ot the falling away from the
church referred to by Paul the Apostle,
in n Thes. 11 --3-4. It led the disciples
to ask which of them should be the
greatest, with the result that Christ
told them they must become as chil
dren. The child of the millionaire is
as happy with the child of his poorer
neighbor for a playmate as with a
rich man's son.
"Although the path of selfishness
may lead to fame, as in Napoleon's
case, it is only over broken hearts. In
the political world today the men who
climb to the highest round of the lad
der often do so through perjury and
bribery. The carnal mind is. not sub
ject to" the law of God, which, as Christ
told the young man who asked for the
greatest commandment, commands us
to love our Creator supremely, and our
neighbor as ourselves."
East Side Sale Reported.
