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.

LAND GOES TO CHILDREN
GEORGE H. 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.

effect that -she had, attacked her hus
band and broken a lot of dishes, finally
smashing a china wash basin over her
spouse's head. The little family "jar"
was interrupted by the police, who had
been attracted to the scene by the nois-e

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

corporations, where an ordinance is on
the books to the contrary. 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.
There is a large amount of routine
business, reports of committees and
street work to be put through this ses
sion, aside from the debatable Issues
named.
