io TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL IO, 191 0. IAEEK OF WONDERS IS If PROSPECT Rose Festival Plans Eclipse Those of Any Western Celebration. ROSE SUNDAY IS NOVELTY Carnival AVill Bo Preceded by Sol emn Services Rose Show, Indus trial Parade, Society Circus, Rose Shower Are Features. Portland's Fourth Annual Rose Feival assumed definite form yesterday after noon when the management adopted the programme of formal events that has been in preparation for the past three or four months. The whole six days of the second week of June ia to be filled with attractions of the finest character. (Portland has never seen anything like it, and the Festival officials declare that the celebration will be the most wonder ful week of amusement and pleasure ever arranged west of tlie Rocky Moun tain. The 1910 Festival will be inaugurated in a most solemn manner by the observ ance of "Rose Sunday." on June 5, the day before the spectacular events of the week are scheduled. The "Rose Sunday" Idea is entirely novel. It has the sup port of many of the Portland churches. Their pastors will preach on appropriate subjects and the temples of worship are to be decorated with the beautiful queen of flowers. A special afternoon service in which all churches are to take part has been suggested but this part of the "Rose Sunday" observance has been left to the City Ministerial Association. Many of the clergymen favor a sacred band concert in City Park in the afternoon with short addresses by preachers of the different denominations. Ixw Rates Apply From East. The programme for Monday, the offi cial opening day, includes a welcome to all who have ever lived in Portland. The Festival management will under take to invite all former Oregonians to come here for the week. The railroads have announced extremely low round trip rates good not only in Oregon, but also throughout the Northwest and from all points in the East and Middle West. In other words the Rose Festival wins the same rates that any World's Fair in this country has ever secured. The shower of roses by the Peninsula Rose Association is to be a striking and pictureque event. The main" streets of Portland will be strewn with rose blooms thrown away by groups of young women from the northeastern section of the city. Nearly four acres of rose exhibits will be shown during the annual exposition of the Portland Rose Society which will have the big place on the programme on Tuesday and Wednesday. Last year's display included in the neighborhood of B.000.000 roses. This year President Emmet Drake, of the society, believes that the exposition will be 50 per cent tetter than any one held in the past. The society intends to offer nearly twice as many silver cups and trophies as have ever been hung up before. Oilier Towns to Join in Parade. The "Spirit of tho Golden Wert" parade is to be on entirely different lines than in former festivals. This year it will be an industrial parade. It will represent the i250.0O0.OOO of jobbing and distributing business which the City of Roses com mands. Many entries from outside towns have already been received. This in dicates that this particular pageant will be a most attractive one. The Society Circus, which will hold forth for three days during the week and be in charge of the Portland Hunt Club and the Multnorrah Amateur Ath- '. letio Club, will be the most spectacular i series of numbers on the bill from the purely, amusement standpoint. It is to be tho only event of which the aristocracy of the city is to have official control. More than $500,000- worth of jumpers, high-steppers and high-school horses will, take part In this feature of the pro gramme. The athletic programme will be on a similarly high plane. The motor car pageant, which has Invariably been one of the exceedingly brilliant numbers on the programme, will Include very close- to 1000 decorated auto mobiles. The Portland Auto Club will have charge of this event. Last year, the procession was about five miles In length and some of the privately owned cars carried as high as 5000 rose blooms in the decorative effect. Hunt Club Preparing Novelties. The horse and vehicle parade is in the hands of the Portland Hunt Club and those who saw what was done last year may readily realize its possibil ities. President Ambrose m. Cronin of the Hunt Club, who will be the director-in-chief, says that the parade this coming June will be vastly superior to the one of a year ago. The novelty features of this cavalcade, Mr. Cronin will not specify, but he says sufficient new stuff has been worked out to make it the greatest mounted and vehicular procession that ever wended the streets of Portland. The East Side Business Men's Club is working out a theme of its own. The merchants and shopmen, the jobbers and industrial interests on the other side of the river have taken keen in terest in the celebration. Their pro gramme has not been worked out in detail, but it will be a splendid one. according to the reports the committee has made to the festival management. The Peninsula Rose Festival Associa tion will have charge of the scatter ing of roses in the streets, of the in formation bureau at the Union Depot and of giving away roses to all in coming visitors.

WILLIAMS LEAVES MUCH TO OFFSPRING. Estate of Late Xestor of Oregon Bar "Worth $165,000 Rodney G1I- san, Surviving Executor, Acts. Attorney A. E. Gebbhardt yesterday morningr presented to the County Court a petition for the probate of the last will and testament of the late Georgre H. Williams and asking for the ap pointment. of Rodney Glisan as exe cutor of the estate, in accordance with the wish of the Judge expressed in the will. The document is entirely in the hand writing of the judge and is dated Au gust 21, 1908: Albert E. Gebhardt and Isaac IX Hunt being the witnesses thereto. After making provision for the pay raent of all his debts, funeral expenses and inheritance tax, he makes the fol lowing bequeBts and devices: To his daughter, Ellen W. Williams, he devises all of block 170, in Couch's Addition to the City of Portland, to gether with all the appurtenances there unto belonging. This is the residence property and the half block to the north of the same. To his daughter, Ethel Harbaugh, wife of Karl Harbaugh, he devises lot 8, in block 4. in the City of Vancouver, Wash. A brick store building occupies this lot. To his son, Theodore G. Williams, he devises lots 1 and 2, in block 25, in Piedmont, and also the east 65 feet of lot 1. in biock 203, of the City of Portland (subject to the life estate of his sister, Mrs. Mary J. Cram, therein.) To his cousin, Elizabeth Herndorf, of Syracuse, New York, he bequeaths the sum of $500; and all the rest and remainder of the estate goes to his three children above named. The will also contains certain minor directions as to the disposition of his personal effects and certain items of personal property. The value of the estate Is estimated at upwards of $165,000. The will nominates J. Couch Flanders (who died in January of the present year) and Rodney Glisan as executors without bonds. Mr. Glisan, as the sur vivor, was appointed executor by the County Court and has qualified as such. MAIL WEIGHTS GROWING Thirty Per Cent Increase Indicated by Quadrennial Test. Keeping- in touch with the quadren nial weighing of the United States mails now in progress on the Oreon- Washington division of the railway mail service. Superintendent K.. V. Vaille yesterday announced that in l is opinion the mail cars -were averaging- more than SO per cent increase in weight out of Portland as compared with four years ago. The investigation being the basis upon which contracts with railroads for carrying the mails are awarded is of significance as indicating the growth of the city, and of more in terest to the railroads because of the new rules of the department concern ing the payment upon a poundage basis. "Every mail ear out of the city is now carrying a weigher and a set of scales," said Superintendent Vaille. "The increase of the mails actually hauled over the roads has been tre mendous throughout Oregon, but is much more noticeable here in Portland. "It is safe to say that the result will show an increase of fully 30 per cent, and it may reach more than that. The result will be of benefit to the Govern ment in several ways. In the first place the railroads will be compelled to carry one-seventh more mail for the schedule prices. This is because of a new interpretation of the law, founded on the fact that in the early days of the railway mail service many of the railroads did not run Sunday trains and the Government compensated all roads on a week-day basis. At this time the roads which do not operate Sunday trains are few, and in arriving at the average amount carried in a month the total for one month will be divided ry seven instead of six. "In California the railroads will be hit somewhat harder than those farther north, for the reason that the earth quake came along in the latter part of the weighing season four years ago, putting a stop to the work. The Gov ernment accepted the average weights for March, which is' always a lare mall month on roads running into San Francisco. April and May are always light mall months. The average for those months will be considered this year." Right new railway mail clerks have been added to the Portland division since April 1. the larger proportion be ing placed on the runs into Idah, the Eastern point being Pocatello. Two men are working south from Portland. They go out on one Southern Pacific train and return on the next, trans ferring at Eugene. DRY FIR JD0RDW00D Coal and charcoal. Prompt delivery. OREGON FVEX.

The little family "jar" was interrupted by the police, who had been attracted to the scene by the nois-e of the conflict and the appeals of the hustoand, who evidently had had all he wanted of the fracas. BOOSTERS TO MEET Secial Trains Will Carry Them to Raymond. NEW ASSOCIATION GROWS Development Organization of South western Washington Will Meet May 2 7 and 2 8 to Formulate Plans Not Political. J. E. Barnes, first secretary for the newly organized Southwestern "Washing ton Development Association, was in the city yesterday in the interest of the next meeting of the association to be held at Raymond, Wash., May 27 and 28. Mr. Barnes arranged for soecial trains over the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad and the Northern Pacific Railroad for the purpose of carrying the delegates to and from the convention with the least possible loss of time. The special will leave Hoquiam on the morning of May 27 at 7:30 and pick up members of the association at Aberdeen. Montesano, El ma, Oakville, Centralia and Chehalis. At Che halls the train will be joined by the business men of White Sal mon, Troutdale, Stevenson, Vancouver. Woodland, Kalama, C ath lame t, Chinook Kelso, Castle Rock and Winlock. and will drop down to Raymond in a body. "For many years Southwestern Wash ington has struggled for a proportionate share of the internal improvements for which our property has been assessed and upon which the taxation has been cheer fully paid," said Mr. Barnes, yesterday. "We have found out that our interests throughout the entire ten counties repre s en ted in the Southwestern Washington Ievelopment Association are identical. and the men who have financed publicity movements and projects for the advance ment of the district have determined that more can be gained by pooling our funds and efforts for a common end. "Just now the association is meeting with a wonderful growth, and nothing can be imagined which will prevent our attaining the ends which we are aiming to accomplish. No Politics in Association. "We are accused of having formed a political organization, but the character of the membership, representing the most prominent business men of the Southwest and who are members of all the political parties, precludes the possibility of our association becoming a i attachment to the kite of any party jr any man. The association will be political only in the fact that at Raymond we are going to make a platform declaring for a square deal from whoever is in power for the development of Grays Harbor. Willapa Harbor, the Columbia River and good roads for our district to reach each and every one of the waterways. "I can best make it clear by saying that out of the $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 appropriated by the last Washington Legislature, Chehalis and Centralia and our immense district secured $15,000 for a county fair. We pay $2,000,000 of that $10,000,000 appropriated. Southwestern Washington is not going to stand for that sort of thing any more. Goods Koads Advocated. "The first day of- the Raymond session will be devoted to a completion of our organization, -reports of the temporary committees appointed at Centralia and such incidental work as we may find at hand. The second day, we will take tipH the good roads movement so far as we are interested in it and will arrange to secure a fair division of the money now in the hands of the State Treasurer for those purposes. Friday night there will be a banquet for the delegates and their friends. "On Sunday there will be an excursion to-the mouth of the river in order to get a view of Willapa Harbor and make our selves familiar with just what should be done by the Government and ourselves. I am assured that the meeting will be attended by at least 250 of the strongest men of our part of the state." COUNCIL WILL BE BUSY SEVERAL CACSES OF HOT DE BATE I P AT NEXT SESSION. Mayor's Veto of Wakefield Ordi nance and Car Fenders Are Main Topics. When the City Council meets Wed nesday morning, It will be confronted by the largest volume of business that has accumulated for many months. It has been three weeks between sessions and the result will probably be an all day session. Many important subjects are pending. among them Mayor Simon's veto of the Wakefield & Co. ordinance exempting that concern from payment of 25 cents a car for hauling gravel and other materials. The Mayor has vetoed this ordinance because he believes the company should pay the city the toll required by ordi nance, and further, that It is not with in the power of the Council to grant special permits to certain persons or Piles Quickly Cured at Home Instant Belief.

In this particular case, the company is build ing reservoirs at Mount Tabor and wishes to haul materials over the streetcar tracks on Hawthorne avenue and other thoroughfares, but does not want to pay the city, as required by another ordinance. Councilman Lombard has introduced an ordinance, approving the type of fender invented and manufactured by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, and it is certain there will be a battle over this subject. The ma jority report of the special committee favors this, but Councilman Rushlight has prepared a minority report, and will make a strong effort to block the passage of such an ordinance. He be lieves a further test should be had before any definite action is taken, but Councilmen Lombard and Ellis think the company's fender will work very well. This subject has long been a source of trouble, as for years the Council has wrestled with the problem of how to save life and limb without results. A so-called fender of little value has been in use for a good while, but it does not fulfil requirements, as is admitted by the company's own officers, and they are anxious to have the approval of some good fender, when they will at once equip all of their cars, they declare.
