yesterday. "Football games were mad
Immensely popular last season by th
lively nthualasra that the band caused.
"Of course the band was a purely
honorary Institution and freely contrib
uted Ita services out of school patriot
lam and devotion to the school cause.
All expenses Incurred by the band were
generously defrayed by Its members.
After playing together thus success
fully for a long period, some of th
more finished musicians organised an
orchestra of about ten pieces. After
continued practice this orchestra at
tained a degree of perfection equal to
that of many of th professional or
chestras of the city, and te demand for
ita presence at mgn ccnooi atrairs be
came strong.
'Later there began to come calls for
good muste from other sources, and a
good patronage was built up. Natur
ally a fee waa collected In cases where
th music wss supplied to outsiders.
and It was found that the fees were
sufficient to recompense the youthful
musicians for their gratultoua services
at High School affairs.
Boys Will Oppose.
A short time ago It was discovered
by th High School boys that while
they remained outside of the union they
would not b permitted to play in the
halls In the city or furnish music to any
dance taking place at any of the usual
halls here. This movement was en
tirely within the power of the union.
The plan of Joining the union cannot as
yet be carried out by the boys, since
the major function of the band could
not then be performed: that is. to fur
nish school spirit and Jubilation at
school celebrations and games. This Is
farbldden by the union rules, by which, J
all services In a professional line must
be paid for. which Is not In accordance
with the generous principles of th
school musicians. The situation will
be met by the boys with stubborn re
sistance, and the insurrection promises
to ne serious.
"while the subject has not been
called officially to the attention of the
Muslclnna Mutual Association.", .said
John R. Tomlinson. representing; the
musicians, last night, "we feel and con
tend that before the High School Band
enters Into competition for services -of
a public character, its members should
belong to the union and enjoy the
benefits that go with such a member
ship. Members of the Peninsula' and
Third Regiment bands have recognized
the value of our organization and have
made application -to join."

ROSE SHOW PLANS FIXED
PRESIDENT ' OF . SOCIETY SEES
MOST BRILLIANT EVENT,
Special-Attention -This Year to Re
Paid to' Competition for Bene-
" '-fit of Women Only.'
PORTLAND, Or, May 20. (To tha Ed
itor.) The twenty-second : annual rose
show of the Portland Rosa. Society,
which la to be held in the Armory, June
and 7. promises to bo the most oru
llant event of its kind ever seen here,
owlna- to tha fact that more Portlanders
than at any time In tna past nav do
come enthusiastic about raising roses
for exhibition-purposes, while our gen
erous and public-spirited people have
ffered a greater numoer oi iropnies,
nd these finer than aver before, for
competition. It la to ba hoped that ail
who have rosea arrowing in their gar
dens will enter them for these prizes.
as they will be' awarded impartially to
those showing the best Diooms.
In my opinion, people are commonly
too timid about showing their roses, for
I have seen many a rose well wortny oi
orlxe left growing In tne garaena
about the city aurtng our rose snow.
PeoDle also refrain from exhibiting be
cause thev do not know bow to enter
their roses, but they should not stay
away for that reason, for we shall have
committee at the Armory tnia year
to, show everyone how to enter roses
properly, and tne secretsry, jar. n, a.
Lamson. . will furnish the necessary
blanks to all-who desire them.
Everybody should Join our society.
all being welcome, and take a prao
tlcal part-in promoting rose eultui
that most delightful occupation, which
haa added so greatly to the fame of
our city. I wtsh to oall special atten
tion to the competition for women only,
for floral table decorating, aa we have
circular tablea to be decorated and
wo handsome trophies. AJ1 entries
for this must be mad two days before
the show.
' A few words about the care of roses
may not ba out of place here. While I
woud not presume to offer advice to
people who have given the subject of
rose growing and rose showing much
attention, to novices I might say, that
to bring roses to perfection, even In our
idesl climate, needs some care and
work. . The cultivation of roses for
this season should now be so far ad
vanced that we have to deal chiefly
with disbudding and the enemies of the
rose. As to the former, we-should not
hesitate to disbud freely, leaving but
one bud on a stem, or not more than
two, the second being left so low down
on the stem that the main flower may
be cut without interfering with It. The
finger, or a small pair of tweezers may
be used for pinching off the buds.
Too many buds should not be re
moved at the first operation, one bud
being left by the side of the main bud
until the wounds caused by the first
disbudding have healed; otherwise it
is found that malformation of the prin
olple bud v may take place. Not all
roses should be disbudded alike, for
Instance: Bent Cant, Duke of Edinburgh,
Mabel Morrison. Charles Lefebvre. and
others with globular buds should not
be disbudded so freely as Madame Mel-
anie Soupert, His Majesty, Lady Ash-
town, Dorothy Page Roberts, etc, 'which
have pointed flowers, opening quickly.
To prevent wildew, which Is one of
the most formidable enemies of the
rose, dissolve one ounce of potassium
sulphide in five gallons of rain water.
adding the whltea of two eggs, and use
as a spray say once every week 'or
two as required. This solution is also
destructive to the green aphis, which
is another pest.
The green, leaf-rolling caterpillar
(emphytus) is very active, at this sea
son and should be carefully; .looked for
daily. Its presence Is known when we
see that some" of the foliage has been
mutilated by the hungry grub, and
careful search will find the offender en
sconced within a curled-up leaf or he- 1
tween two adjoining leaves held togeth
er by the caterpillar's web. It Is also
found on or in the buds, to which It
is most destructive, and must be re
moved by hand. Constant vigilance Is
the price of success.

Corn Troubles Ended
in 48 Hours
A Blue-jay plaster is applied in a jiffy,
and the pain of the corn ends at once. You
simply forget it. The bit of B & B wax gently
loosens the corn. In two days yon lift it out.
No pain, no soreness, no inconvenience.
Compare that with old-time ways. Can yon wonder
that Bine-jay is now being used on five mjUion corns a
year? Can yon wonder that Bine-jay now outsells by
fifty times over any other treatment known? People
who once try Bine-jay simply laugh at corn. .
