Twelve hundred motor-cars, valued at
fully $2,000,000 and laden with no fewer
than 2.000,000 choice roae blooms, win
be In line In the competitive automobile
pageant of the Rose Festival week, set
for Wednesday. June 11. at :so-l". M.
For the first time in the bistorr of th6
floral festivities the Portland Automo
bile Club has decided to take complete
charge of this brilliant event, and Pres
ident Clemens has appointed most of
his associate workers for handling the
procession.
For the past two weeKs Mr. Clemens
and other officials of the club have
done little else but round up the pri
vate owners of cars, pleasure and com
mercial. The same diligence has been
shown In gathering In entries from
owners of the specific classifications,
touring cars, runabouts, electrics, serv
ice cars and huge motor trucks.
Fair Dlvtsloaa Made.
There will be four principal divisions
in the pageant, as follows, with the
special committees to direct eacn one:
Touring car division Ivan Humason,
Guy Hohnan and Aaron Frank.
Runabout division J. C. English,
Thllip Van Iter Ker and Seymore
Friendly.
' Electric division E. J.'Cark, Edgar
Frank and F. C Smith. .
Organisations division P. A. Combs,
Paul Feely and 11. D. Ewbanks.
C. J. Cook, one of the city's pioneer
motoring enthusiasts, has been selected
as general chairman of the programme
committee and as grand marshal for
the parade.
He is now In communication with the
Southwestern Washington Development
Association and the allied business or
ganizations of the Grays Harbor coun
try, which are planning to unite In
one of the most imposing overland tours
that ever covered the reaches of the
Taclflc Highway from the Evergreen
State to the Beaver State metropolis.
What Grand Marshal Cook desires Is
to have the entire "pathflndlng" crowd
from Western Washington arrive here
In ample time to go over their cars and
dress them up In roses, or such other
native flowers as may be desired.
Oatslde Rnrmtlou Made.
The latest advices from- the Western
Washington and Grays Harbor boost
ers are that they will arrive here early
In the Rose Festival week with any
where from 100 to ISO cars and the
plan Is to have all of these entered
In a single division.
The two British Columbia delega
tions, one from Victoria and the other
from Vancouver, have announced their
intentions of entering decorated auto
mobiles In this parade, Just how many
will not be known until the delega
tions arrive.
Place Is being reserved In special sec
tions for the San Diego. Passadena. San
Francisco, Oakland. Sacramento, Fres
no and other Southern civic arganlia
tions which have written for entry
blanks and competitive classifications.
Locally, the entries will far surpass
In number any automobile parade of
former years. The Auto Club has Is
sued a. round robin calling upon every
one of Its members to assist In making
this the most notable feature ot the
week.
"We have the programme In Una
shape already," said President Clemens,
yesterday, "and we shall have practi
cally our full membership In line this
year, something that has never hap
pened before. The rivalry among our
individual members is so keen that we
look for gorgeous decorative displays
in the various classes. Our club has
taken the matter entirely out of the
hands of the Rose Festival manage
ment and we realise that we have to
figure on showing the CaHfornians
some class. There will be several hun
dred pleasure cars driven overland from
our neighbor state on the south, rep
resenting different local automobile
clubs and we want to show them some
style when they get here.
Faculties to B Provided.
"We shall -arrange It so that all visit
ing cars and there will be not under
00 or 700 of them can be properly
housed In roomy garages, wlwre they
ran be washed and cleaned and dec
orated with our own rosea or with
flowers sent from their home cities.
"In some instances, chiefly from
California cities, there will be a num
ber of carloads of their home flowers,
roses, polnsettias. popples and numer
ous others, sent here for decorative
purposes-"
Tomorrow at 2:30 r. M. the different
committees of the Automobile Club
will meet with President Clemens and
Grand Marshal Cook in the Commercial
Club and discuss final arrangements for
the parade.
Much work will have to be done to
arrange for the entertainment of -the
visiting tourists. Aside from the dele,
gallons already mentioned there will be
overland visitors from the Golden Pot
latch of Seattle, the Montamara Festo
of Tacoma. the Carnival Wek of Vic
toria and a number of others.
Every city In the Northwest, where
there Is an automobile club, has been
asked to send delegates to the Rose
Festival and to enter cars In the big
parade.

RELIEF FUND UNOPPOSED
MEASURE FOR AID OF FTREMEX
. DISCUSSED.
Inability 1 Obtain Insurance Due
to Prohibitive Kates One of Prin
cipal Arguments Use.
One of the most important measures
to be voted upon at the coming city
election is the proposed charter amend
ment creating a Bremen's relief ana
pension fund. The measure so far has
met with no opposition.
Under the provisions of the measure
as it will appear on the ballot the fire
men themselves are to appropriate 1
per cent of their salaries for the fund,
to be kept by the City Treasurer and
administered by a board of trustees
comprising the Mayor, the Auditor, the
Treasurer, the chief of the fire depart
ment and one fireman from the ranks.
In addition to the appropriation by
the firemen there will be levied annu
ally a tax of one-tenth of a mill
against all assessable property in the
city, which will go into the fund. This
will raise approximately $25,000 a year.
Firemen and their families will be
given liberal benefits from the fund in
case of accident or death. The measure
has a provision for a pension for flre-

rates. The work is dangerous and the
risks are not written by many Insur

organizations firemen only receive a
portion of the benefit in case of acci
dent or death. .
The cost to the taxpayers has been
carefully estimated. It has been found
that the cost at a tenth of a mill is
only 10 cents a year to the average tax
payer. The average paid by each fire
man Is 112 a year. A taxpayer to pay

Who Are " The Interests " Behind the
Heusner Franchise?
(From The Oregonian, May 24, 1913)
The franchise as presented to the Council did not meet
with the approval of several of the members and they redrafted it, in
serting many important features aimed to. prevent Mr. Heusner from
selling his franchise. Provisions for payment of a revenue to the city
and numerous other provisions .which have been made a, part ofother
railroad franchises granted during the last two years were included.
The action of the Council in safeguarding the public interests did not
apparently suit Mr. Heusner, and he resorted to the initiative, after hav
ing redrafted the franchise to suit himself.
Again from The Oregonian of the same issue: . . , . i. .
"One of the principal changes which has been made in the franchise is
the elimination of a provision prohibiting Mr. Heusner from selling his
franchise or disposing of it in a merger with another company.
Your attention is called to another important change: Section 25 of
the Council franchise does not appear in the franchise to be voted upon.
"Section 25. Cars shall be run, by the grantee, his successors and
assigns, upon the street railways constructed by authority of this ordi
nance every day between 5 o'clock A. M. and 1:30 o'clock A. M., follow
ing, not less frequently than fifteen minutes apart. Ihe Council, how
ever, reserves the right to further regulate the schedule for the operation
of cars over the streets herein mentioned; provided, that no cars tor tlie
transportation of freight shall be operatedby the grantee, his successors
or assigns, within the limits of the City of Portland upon any ofthe .lines
of railway authorized by this franchise.-'
- If these safeguarding restrictions are worth nothing to the city, why
were they incorporated by your Council? Why were they omitted from
the franchise as redrafted by Mr. Heusner?
Again from The Oregonian of the same issue: .
'. "Regarding his right to assign his franchise he says that he cannot
change that provision because of his intention to take m the interests
which are behind him hi the project,'' ;
