Greenhouses. , nurseries and gardens are at .the very zenith of their Autum nal glory. Specially . nno flowers are be ingr grown for showpurposes; a number of blossoms never before seen in Port land will be displayed, visitors from San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver are planning to bring choice flowers; there will be an interesting exhibit from the State Agricultural College. In short, everything points to an Autumn Show of 1913 that will eclipse any thing of Its kind ever held In the north west. Chrysanthemums, always the crown ing feature of an Autumn Show, will be exhibited by the thousand, and in every imaginable color and size. Espe cially fine will be the little cluster "mums," which are just now coming Into their own as decorative flowers for tables. Then there will be the big snowballs, the ivory-tinted ones, the lavender, the yellow and the pink and richest of all are the red and russet shaggy ones. There will be chrysanthe mums 12 inches in diameter surmount ing stems six feet in length. Roses to Have IMuce. The queenly rose is sure to come in for its share' of admiration,- for there will be magnificent displays of the Bride and Bridesmaid roses, the ruby tinted Richmond, the ever-lovely Amer ican Beauty and the new Prima Donna and the Mrs George Shawyer. - Probably there are more carnations grown in and about Portland than any other one blossom, with the exception of the rose. The spicy "pink" is beloved by everyone and this demand is provid ed for by means of many . hot-houBes which hold nothing but carnations of many hues. The pure white ones are especially fine this year. Then there are the yellow ones, the always beau tiful pink "Enchantress" and then the rose-pink ones, and last of all the deep crimson ones, whose petals look like velvet. Carnations require a great deal of care in the way of cultivation, irri gation and training, and just now the attendants go up and down the long paths of the houses and snip off all of the buds save the best-looking one, thus forcing all of the strength of the plant into a single blossom. Orchids Give Promise. The orchid display, which will include 20 or more varieties, gives promise of being one of the most notable of the show. Orchids, coming as they do from the jungles and swamps of the tropics, and being procured under great dif ficulties, are the rarest and most ex pensive of all flowers, retailing for 1 apiece. Their delicacy and beauty are so great, however, that they are much in demand, and one Portland florist has $5000 invested in orchids alone. Potted begonias will constitute an interesting exhibit. The smaller species is known as the Glory de Lorraine and the larger and more robust one is the Glory of Cincinnati. The quaint-shaped cyclamen blossoms will be much In evi dence, and in all colors from pure white to deep red. Lilies of the valley, violets and other smaller and more delicate flowers also will be displayed in considerable quan tities. Thousands of potted palms, ferns and shrubs will form an ideal background for the display of the blooms. In addition to the awarding of $2000 in cash -prizes and the grand silver lov ing cup, which is offered for the most unique and interesting exhibit, the prizes for the Summer garden contest will be awarded. The show will be If Y ou Have an Old Gas Range Trade It for a 66 New Idea 99 If you have an old low-oven gas range that isn't giving satisfaction or has outlived its usefulness, come to Powers' tomorrow and trade it for a modern range with elevated oven. The A-B Stove Company, of Battle Creek, Michigan, builders of the New Idea Sanitary Gas Range, have requested us to make a one week's offer of $5 for any low-oven gas range. "They know that THE 'NEW IDEA' IS THE FINEST GAS RANGE IN THE WORLD They are anxious that you should know it and have made this offer to .interest you in the purchase of one.

WORK AT MINE IS PUSHED Portland Men Inspect Coal Proper ties Xenr Clichalis, Wash. CHEHALIS, Wash., Nov. 1. (Spe cial.) The Monarch Coal Company, which was recently organized to de velop property near Kopiah in the Hanaford Valley, is active, and will push operations at once. Sunday a party of Portland capitalists who own the properties visited the mines. At present 80 tons of coal are being mined dally, but it is planned to increase this to upwards of 100 tons daily immedi ately, and as further rooms are opened so that more coal can be mined the out put will be largely increased. The vein now being worked is from eight and one-half to nine feet in thickness. The other veins, one four and one-half feet and one 14 feet, are also on the property. The coal is high-grade lig nite. The Monarch Company has built a track to its bunkers at the mine and has all arrangements so made that the output can be handled at a minimum of cost. The bulk of the output of the mine is shipped to . British. Columbia, local mine owners in . the Chehalis and Centralia district finding recently that the extended coal strike in that coun try is of advantage to them In afford ing a strong demand for the Washing ton product. The Portland owners who made a visit to the mine Sunday included Con rad P. Olson, president; F. W. Lone gren, secretary-treasurer; Frank Anderson,-Dr. Karl Swenson, Arthur Llnd. Luther Hessler, D. E. Lofgren, R. P.. Duniway, C. E. Cunningham and C. J. Soderberg. O. T. Wedmark, a Centralia attorney, was the -original promoter of the company, and had a part in enter taining the officials of the concern on their inspection of the mine. BOSTON WOMAN; BUYS LAND F.
