Although sis days have been con sumed In the examination of veniremen as to their qualifications to serve as Jurors In the trial of Lou la J. Wilde. Jointly Indicted with W. Cooper Morris for the larceny by embeixlement of 1)0.000 of the funds of the Oregon Trust A Savings Bank, a Jury has not been Impaneled. The state hair used only one of Its three peremptory challenges while the defense has only exercised three of the six peremptorles allowed In criminal cases. It Is doubtful If the Jury can be completed before Wednes day. Everything depends on how many of the veniremen disqualify themselves as Jurors during their examination and at the same time the amount of time that Is wasted by. opposing counsel in purely time-consuming and more or less vitriolic controversies which have al ready characterised the proceedings. A a rule it requires from an hour to two and one-half hours for both sides to dispose of a venireman. V a lions parentis R p reseated.

As now .planned the formal cere monies In connection with this novel Winter function will take place In one of the public parks, in the Mount Tabor Park preferably, although this will have to be decided by tne uoara oi Park Commissioners at Its next session. Strong support of the plan has been assured Chairman Drake by Emll Mische. Superintendent of Parks, who will assist In preparing the planting spots for the reception of the Portland queen flower. While it Is Intended to have one spe cial place set aside for observance of this event, the residents and property owners In all parts of the city are to be urged to observe the day at their own homes and to set out as many roses as they can contemporaneously with the chief celebration in one of the parks. Rose to Be Blessed. It is probable that the former custom of having little boys and girls from the various sections of the city do the actual work of consigning the plants to mother earth, will be followed this year. There also will be the solemn ceremonial of "Blessing the Rose" by some church dignitary, together with a concert by a local band while the pro gramme Is under way. "We are Just getting our plans un der way," said Dr. Drake, last night, "but from now on we shall keep on hustling and do our best to make this a most noteworthy occasion. Portland has established a fine reputation throughout the country by dedicating Washington's birthday to the planting of our most characteristic and popular flower and I am confident that Mr. James J. Hill will give our invitation most careful consideration. He has not visited Portland for some time and this gives him a patriotic opportunity to come even If he can stay but a day. Big Delegations Expected. "The Rose Societies of Tacoma and Seattle, which are both thriving and enthusiastic organisations, will bo asked to send delegations here to par ticipate In our ceremony. And. besides all this. I want to ask all our patriotic citizens to observe the day of rose planting generally in their own yards. They can plant their flowers at some hour which will not conflict with tho general celebration and if Mr. Hill comes, everybody will be afforded the opportunity of hearing him deliver an address." The Sons of Norway are planning to hold their next grand session In Port land during Rose Festival week, June 10-15. Hans Bugge, of Bellingham, Wash., grand president of the Pacific Jurisdiction, has taken the matter up with the Festival management and It la expected that suitable arrangements will be made for bringing the thous ands of delegates here for that gather ing. President Bugge advises that a , majority of the members are eager to come here at that time. Buy the records for your' Victor, Vlctrola or talking machine from Sher man.
