The Festival SDirit continued alr.no-

as large as tnose to see the Rose Festl

rode back and forth from Burnside

mobile and joining in the "Who's-got-

"Gimme a button!" "I'm lookin' for
them ten bones!" and "Fork over the
mazuma!" were among the favorite ex

if the money would be In sight. The
stores stayed open until 10 o'clock, and
occasional searchers, unaware that the
money had been found, were seen hang

BOND PETITION TO START
Hood River Orchardists Want High
way Completed.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 13. (Spe
cial.) In one of the most enthusiastic
road meetings ever held in the CDunty
about 100 of the representative orch
ardists of the valley convened at the
county-library tonight and started the
circulation of a petition to the County
Court to call a special election for the
purpose of voting on & proposed bond
issue of $75,000 for the completion of
the Columbia River Highway from the
Multnomah' County line to this city.
The petition, which will require 361
signatures to secure action by the court,
was signed by all present and the call
ing of the special election is assured.
R. H. Wallace, who presided at the
meeting, appointed the .following orch
ardists as an executive committee to
conduct a campaign for further signa
tures on the petition and to canvass the
entire county in behalf of the bond is
sue: A. G. Lewis. Gus Miller, G. M. Up
tegrove. C. W. Hooker and L. E. Dart
The money raised by the issue will
be used in opening ' uncompleted
stretches of the highway, between the
Multnomah County line and Viento,
about IS miles east of Cascade Locks.
A passable route stretches over all
other portions of the route as sur
veyed by theState Highway Commis
sion. The County Court has received from
S. Benson a letter in which he makes
the guarantee of an appropriation
of any further funds that may
be needed in opening the portions of
the highway at present Impassable.
The Hood River County Court and a
body of citizens will go to Multnomah
Falls Monday, where they will confer
with Mr. Benson, Highway Eengineer
Bowlby and Portland road enthusiasts
as to details in the road construction.
ENT
Buyers ' and sellers of real estate, arid home-owners
alike, will welcome the news that a permanent real
estate auction market is to be established in Portland;
first '
because the real value of any property is exactly for
what it will sell ; second-
because it will largely increase the activity of the real
estate market in Portland; third
because it furnishes a quick and convenient way for
supplying one's real estate needs (at one's own price,
too), and at the same time finds a buyer for property
whose owner has for years, perhaps, been trying in vain
to sell; fourth
because it searches out and brings together the fellow
who wants to sell and the fellow who wants to buy,
neither of whom would otherwise ever know of the
other's existence. x
"At Auction" has been for all time and still is the
method used in all the great financial and industrial
centers for instantly and accurately determining values,
as for example the stock, wool, cotton and other world
markets where commodities are exchanged by means of
open bidding.
No line of business in the world is more adapted for
handling by the auction method than the buying and
selling, of real estate. That it is a logical and successful
method equally desirable for seller and buyer has
been proven in various Eastern cities, where it has been
conducted' on a high standard of business integrity.
We have been told that conditions are not right that
this is not the time to start such a system of realty ex
change in Portland. On the other hand, "we believe that
it is these very conditions that make this the logical
time to venture to the end, t least, that it will cause
a re-awakening of the real estate market in this city.
Therefore, tomorrow, Monday, June 15, we make our
initial bow in Portland to furnish
REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION
Property booked here and owned by people who really
desire to sell at once at actual value, will be numbered
and the title examined and appraisement made by com
petent real estate authorities in the order of its booking.
As the number in the first sale will be limited, they will
necessarily be high class..
With advantageous grouping and all representations
guaranteed you are assured of the very best facilities in
securing the choicest selections from the best of all the
various classes of Portland real estate.
. The writer was present recently at a real estate auction
held by a well and favorably known realty company in a
large city. The crowd of prospective buyers and bid
ders included half a dozen millionaires and fifty women
of wealth. There was intense interest in the bidding,
especially when the large figures, involving fortunes,
were shouted out.
In connection with the launching of this enterprise, you
are invited to especially remember
that the energies of this concern will be devoted exclu
sively to the handling of real estate at auction, and that
it is not merely an "auction department," where your
interests would not be handled by principals; and
that the public auctions which will occur at regular
intervals in the parlors of Portland's leading hotels
will be conducted on strong, fine, clean principles, such
as are calculated to build for this concern a permanent
and successful business.
Date of first sale, complete list, terms of and conditions
of sale, will be published in due time, when you will be
invited to examine the properties and consult any dealer
as to their values. Inquiries invited.

FORD FIGHTS CUT PRICES
British Automobile Makers Obtain a
Rehearing; of His Case.
LONDON. June 13. The right of the
Ford Motor Manufacturing Company to
fix the minimum price of Ford cars in
England Is again to be contested In
the High Court of Justice. The Ford
Company this year obtained a court
decision entitling it to say what was
the lowest price at which Its automo
biles should be sold here; but the
Judges held that it had failed to prove
the damage resulting from one of its
London agents underselling others, al
though It was entitled to collect penal
ties for breach of contract.
It is said that one of the chief causes
of the litigation is the fact that cer
tain English automobile manufacturers
are endeavoring to check the Ford en
terprise on this side, the large sale of
Ford cars here having had a disastrous
effect upon English car sales.
Application was made recently to the
Court of Appeals for permission to re
argue the case before three Lords Jus
tices of Appeal. This, was allowed,
and the Ford Company received an ex
tension of time to-, present its case.
Automobile manufacturing concerns
are watching the action with consider
able Interest.
Opium Smokers Are Fined.
John Parker, who has had consider

added an aspect of graveness to the
situation. Inasmuch as the food supply
of the Donaldson and Henderson party
Is limited and Captain Donaldson is
rot of such makeup as to be able to
withstand long suffering and hardships
such as might be encountered.
Mr. Henderson, who Is well known In
Portland as an attorney. Is considered
excellently fitted, both as to physique
and experience, for a rough trip. For
one Summer he was In the Yellowstone
National Park, where he served as a
guide for touring parties. Here he
learned many of the mysteries of the
woods and learned to endure hardships.
He Is 26 years of age and is considered
an athlete. While in school he played
on the football and track teams.
Anxious Da Passed.
Portland friends and acquaintances
of the two men and officials of the
Rose Festival Association- passed an
anxious day yesterday waiting for
word from the party. Hour by hour
they tried In every way to glean In
formation from towns and settlements
in the district where the balloon was
last seen, but all without avail. The
anxiety Increased as darkness spread
over the country last night and no
word or even a faint rumor had been
heard. During the day only the in
definite information by Captain Watts
was added to what was already known.
Every effort was made to get infor
mation and every effort was put for
ward to put searchers and scouts in
the field. During the day The Orego
nlan called by telephone every town,
settlement and ranch in that section
of the state which could be reached.
In no place had balloons been seen,
not even the Watts balloon, which
drifted down the Santiam River for 20
or 25 miles in daylight, passing near
several settlements which were called
by telephone.
In addition to combing this end of
the state, the telephone service through
out the Bull Run and Sandy districts
was used. Communication was had by
The Oregonlan with the headworks of
the city water department In BuU Run
Canyon and at Sandy, Bull Run. Eata
cada and other places. Not a town, set
tlement or ranch that-could be reached
by telephone or telegraph was Ignored
In the efforts to get information. Tho
young women of the long distance de
partments took a keen interest in the
search and gave prompt service.
Balloon Suddenly Vanishes.
At Sandy the same report which. was
made the day before, to the effect that
T. Ruther, who lives a mile from Sandy
on the Bluff Road, .saw a balloon at
4:15 o'clock Friday morning, was re
peated. R. E. Essen, telephone operator
at Sandy, said yesterday he talked with
Mr. Ruther, who said he was in the
yard at 4:15 when a balloon was seen
going slowly to the westward between
Sandy and Bull Run over the Sandy
River. He called his wife out and she
said she saw the big bag also. Accord
ing to Mr. Ruther, it drifted as though
going to collide with the bluff on San
dy River Gorge, when it rose suddenly
and disappeared.
In efforts to extend relief the most
important work of yesterday was the
sending by The Oregonian of men into
the Cascade Mountains. H. N. Wallace,
of the-United States Forest Service, left
st 2 P. M. with another man on-horses
for Colton. where they proceeded into
th forests and rugged hills toward
Cold Springs.
Here the forest rangers have a look
out on Mount Susap. where they can
see for miles over the Cascade forest
country. Should the Donaldson and Hen.
derson pcrty be in this region, as seems
probably.they should have lighted a fire
last night and would have been located
by the rangers. Inasmuch as the Innk-
i out is 17 miles in the hills and tele
phonic communication is very uncer
tain, there Is little chance of the rang
ers being heard from until late today.
TForcst HiniRni Watch.
In addition to this effort to find the
missing balloon ists. arrangements
were made at the suggestion of The
Oregonian for forest rangers in every
part of the Oregon forest to be on the
lookout. Following the Bull Run re
port Mr. Wallace. acting on orders
from Forest Supervisor Sherrard, sent
a man to Baty Butte, where a view of
a vast country can be had. In making
these trips it Is thought the lost party
may build a. fire, which in the forests
can be seen for considerable distance
if it is kept up. The searchers are
looking also for traces of the men and
are listening for calls, noises or re
ports of guns. Henderson carries" a
small revolver and has about 30 roun
of ammunition. He took this on the
trip, to be prepared for protection
from animals should the party get
stranded In the woods.
It is felt that, everything has been
done that can be done In the way of
trying to locate the men. until some
definite news has been received.
Tha alarm has been spread by farm
ers and settlers in every direction
through the efforts of The Oregonian
and it is reported everywhere that
everyone is on the lookout for them.
Hope of tneir being found will not
be given up for many days, owing to
the fact that there are hundreds of
rlaces vlthin tho llstri-t the balloon
ists are thought to have dropped where
it would take them days to find their
