FORESTS IN r Hotel Multnomah 12 Limiting Baggage to Two Suit ' cases Makes " Selecting Wardrobes Easy Task. DRESSMAKERS ARE SEEN Brilliant Farewell Demonstration for Ruler of Rosaria and Royal Party Is Arranged for Friday Evening. Thelma 3, Queen of Rosaria, and her 11 maids-of-honor passed yesterday in another mad scramble with the dress maker. Announcement that none of the party will be allowed to take a trunk on the tour, and limiting1 even the loyal wardrobe to the contents of two .suitcases, simplified the process of prep aration. Interest now centers on the question of packing as many dainty articles as possible into the two suit cases. Mrs. David Campbell, chaperon of the party, has decided that a traveling KUit, three lingerie dresses, one even ing dress, and a traveling coat, added t the mysterious collection of articles which every woman finds necessary in traveling, will tax the capacity of the two suitcases. 3trs. Campbell advises her charges against taking white tlres.ses for traveling. With so small a supply, she thinks, it would be im possible to keep them fresh and. neat. Trained Nome to Make Trip. Queen Thelma and her maids will be accompanied on the trip bya trained nurse, supplied by the Harriman Club, which elected Queen Thelma. Mrs. J. lahl. who has looked after the welfare of all the girls in the big restroom in ' the Wells-Fargo building, has been selected as the nurse.

ROELKS. Entate of 9SO,0(HI Ordered Divided Into Tito Classes and Then Parti tioned Anions; Heirs. After holding under advisement the decision in the construction of the will in the Mary Roelfs case for. more than one month. Circuit Judse Cleeton yes terday decided In favor of the heirs known as the Jackson branch, sisters of Mrs. Koelfs' husband. Thomas Jack son, and against kin folk and heirs on her own side. The question in issue was how the estate was to be divided. The residuary paragraph in the will read that the estate should be divided betwen her cousins and the sisters of her dead husband, Thomas Jackson, in equal shares. The question thereafter arose "whether this meant In two shares or in 14 shares. The original cousins and sisters are dead, leaving several hun dred separate heirs In all parts of the United States and Canada, who are represented by 30 attorneys. The es tate amounts to approximately $SO,000 and consists of notes secured by mort frae;e on real property in Multnomah County. Under the ruling of Judge Cleeton. the word "between" was coinsidered as the controlling factor, he holding that by using the word "between." Mrs. Roelfa showed that she intended the estate to be divided into two classes. At the hearing Joseph Woerndle. who drew the will, and one of the executors testified that the Intention of the testatrix was that it was to be livided into two classes. This was corroboraed by Judge McGinn, who drew a former will for Mrs. Roelfs. Attorney Munley represented a branch' of the cousins. Judge Childs, of Crescent City.. Cal., representing the Jackson branch. Attorney Haas ap peared as attorney for the estate. Briefs were filed by several attorneys representing different groups of heirs. It was intimated by Attorney Munley that the decision would be appealed to the Supreme Court . He was al lowed 60 days In "which to take further action. t :- - 1- ULJ lf !

HARDY VEGETABLES GROWN La rs e Part of Tract EInilnated From Paulina Forest Settled Xearest Kail road .100 Miles Xo Market Xear for Crops.' Unappropriated lands in the area re cently vacated by the Federal Forestry Bureau from the Paulina National for. est in the vicinity of Fort Rock and Silver Lake approximate 413,000 acres, according to the report of J. W. Brewer, field agent for the Oregon Immigration Commission, who has Just completed a survey of the property. Of this area only 35,003 acres ar tll lable. The balance is-classed as non-tillable. The tillable area is covered with, a growth of sagebrush and is classed as prairie land. The soil is a light vol canic ash. The non-tillable land is in part a lava rock formation and is prac tically worthless for agricultural pur poses. There are pockets or a lew acres of land scattered throughout the lava rock area where a good growth of bunch gtass is found and makes reason ably good grazing. Clearing Cost Is Prohibitive. Part of the lands classed as non-til lable are covered with a growth of juniper and in most places there is found a great deal of float rock. The soil in this area is good, but the cost of clearing the land or this roclc when availaole only for lry farming is prac tically prohibitive. Throughout the area classed as non- tillable land may be found small tracts of good tillable land but of not suf ficient size to - warrant homesteading for agricultural purposes. Killing frosts are experienced in this district in prrfctically every month of the year, although the hardier vege tables are grown with more or less success. Potatoes have been grown on protected parts, but not throughout the whole district, ' Rye is the principal crop raised and has been proved more or less successful, a considerable acre ages of wheat has been sown this year. Water is secured at a depth of from 60 to 200 feet. road point is from 75 to 100 miles, which makes it difficult for the mar keting of such products as are raised on the land. "Little opportunity is offered for a homesteader to secure work in any part of the eliminated area, and he should, it is said, provide himself with the necessary means for his support for a period of from two to three years. Many claims have been abandoned in this district, but the reason of such abandonment is more on account of the inability to market crops than from the quality of the soil. The lands in this elimination were opened for settlement on May 9 and reports from the Fort Rock district indicate that the greater portion of the best class of land was settled up im mediately after date of opening. FLORAL CONTEST OPENS SOCIETY DECIDES TO STIMULATE INTEREST ANOTHER YEAR. DOCTOR STODIES PLAGUE RAMPANT DISEASES OF ORIENT IN VESTIGATED BY OREGON. Dr. David N. Robng Visits China, Japan and Manila, Watchins Efforts- of Health Officers in Epidemics. Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the State Board of Health, yesterday re ceived the following letter from Dr. David N. Roberg, who is studying bu bonic plague and pneumonic plague, its pulmonary form, in the Orient, as the representative of the State Board of Health. Dr. Roberg has been in the. Orient for a year. He was for merly professor of patlrology in the University of Oregon: "Shanghai, China. April 10. Nothing has -developed here In the form of in vestigative material clnce my return from Manila, and as there is no out look for any outbreaks of any kind until late In ' August or September, when the seasonal epidemic of cholera sets in, I am preparing to go to Ma nila. "It would be a good opportunity now for me to visit places in Northern China, like Harbin, Darleu and those places where the Manchurian epidemic of pneumonic plague existed in 1910 and 1911 and where organized methods have been instituted to prevent It. The principal cities in Japan, too, should be visited. "Just before returning to the States I plan to go to those places in Japan and Northern China where it seems es sential that I investigate their meth ods. These diseases will no doubt be Introduced Into the Pacific Coast at some future time. "In Shanghai rat plague Is endemic to the extent of finding an average of one infected rat among the 60 dead ones brought in every day for examination."

Dimmick was graduated from Notre Dame, and coached the Columbia Preps in the 1911 Portland lntercholastic Football League up to the time of his death. ' Decoration off Homes and Beautlfica- tlon of Yards to Be Aided by Efforts of Florists. At the regular meeting of the Port land Floral Society on Tuesday even-ing- it was decided that owing to the many inquiries regarding the floral contest, inaugurated last year, to con tinue this effort of the society in edu cating and assisting the public of the city by holding-fa- city-wide contest for all amateurs and' reward meritorious entries with handsome prizes. A com- mttee was appointed to draw up plans, and -who, being florists belong to the society, and will supply contestants with the required application blanks. It is the -aim of the society to have pictures taken of all the winning en tries in order that they may be studied and serve as lessons to those who take an interest in beautifying of home grounds. Particular attention is to be given the veranda and porch decora tions in the shape of botes, tubs and baskets. Diplomas are to be awarded for this class of entries. Apartment and business houses as well as private homes are invited to enter this contest. Well-kept lawns and plantings df flower beds are especially desired by the society in this contest. Small as well as large yards are provided for, and their plantings and arrangements will be carefully studied by the mem bers of the society. The judges are to be instructed to find the best entry in this class and discuss its merits dur ing the meetings following inspection. Photographs of the most prominent entries will be made for study and later published with the resume of the society's discussions. A committee, consisting -of J. G. Bacher. A. J. Clarke, A. Rohn, R. R. Routledge and Hans Niklas are at work now improving on the plans ls worked out in last year's contest. Cut Flowers Also to Be Displayed in Booths . and Exhibit or Xew Blooms by' Father Schoener Will Be Big Feature. Visitors to the Rose Festival this year will no doubt be amazed when they reach the city to see how several blocks in the heart of the business district will Have been turned Into a real garden, filled not only with grow ing roses in full bloom, but with plants and shrubs that go to make up the at tractiveness of life in Portland. Noth ing like it has been attempted before, and it will demonstrate that Portland is really entitled to be called the "Rose City." The two blocks that are to be converted into a garden, replete with Summer houses, pergolas, colonnades, easy benches and thousands of fra grant roses and other choice flowers, will be located on Sixth street, between Yamhill and Salmon. The plans, as originated by Secretary J. A. Currey. of the Rose Festival, who will have charge of this part of 4. he celebration, have been indorsed by the florists of the city and amateur rosa rians. Sixteen districts have appointed committees to arrange for the display of cut roses, and the florists have agreed to make display of other plants and landscaping features. Sixth street for two blocks will be closed to traffic during the festival and nothing will occur to mar the enjoyment of visitors. Marvel of Beauty Promised, The rose garden promises to be c. marvel of beauty. Iaid out in grace ful curves along each side of the street will be beds of fragrant roses. More than 1000 growing roses will be Fhown in these bed 3 and will embrace not only nearly all the well-known varie ties, but also a number of new roses. One object of this display is to show visitors the kind of roses that flourish in Oregon, and among them will- be 50 or more bushes of each variety, thus affording ample study of bushes In all conditions. Kach rose will be growing in a pot of its own, and these pots will be , planted in sawdust, which after ward will be covered with moss to re semble the green grass of a lawn. In addition to the display of growing roses there will be displays of cut blooms from every section of the city. Between the two beds of growing roses will be erected booths, resembling Summer houses of lattice work, and each booth will be taken by a district and decorated. - This display of cut roses in itself will surpass any pre vious district display and iwill be staged on new and original lines, so that the beauty of the roses will be embellished. Father Schoener's Roses a Feature. Probably the center of attraction in the whole display will be the showing of roses that RevrGeorge Schoener, the Catholic priest, of Brooks, Or., will exhibit. If weather conditions are right Fath er Schoener will make a display of something like 250 different varieties. to say nothingjf the display of grow ing roses. Some of Father Schoener's new creations are coming into bloom now and during the past week he has sent to Secretary Currey several spec imens. One of these that will be sure to attract attention is a wonderful red rose, as a result of crossing the Oruss and Teplitz varieties with the General Jacqueminot. Another will be a bloom from a seedling of an American Beauty, and another gorgeous yellow and fawn bloom which resulted from a seedling of Mrs. Aaron Ward and Lady Hilling don. v In connection with Father Schoener's new creations in roses there will be a pretty ceremony the first afternoon of the Rose Festival. The queen of the Rose Festival, accompanied by Presi dent Colt, Secretary Currey and W. J. Hofmann, Prince Regent of the Royal Rosarians, and escorted by the guard of the Rosarians, will meet Father Schoener at the festival center and he will give to the queen one of his new roses and she will name it. Particularly In view of the fact that it is an Oregon rose and created by an Oregonian, the plans being arranged for the nam ing of the new rose are quite elaborate and imposing.
