FAME OF FLOWER WIDE Amongst Thousands Seeking State's Gifts of Xatnre Are Former Resi dents Who Retain Loyalty to Late Abiding Place. fiX ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON BUILDING. Kxposition Grounds; San Francisco, June 19. (Spe cial.) Portland Rose day was a con tinuation of Oregon day; a piece oft the same beautiful weather fabric, with j 1 .1 At Q nr-lr the crowds were coming in. eager for Portland roses and badges, and the de mand kept up with persistence all day long. Instead of thousands we needed mil lions of roses. Everyone .wanted a rose. Even the badges gave out long before the crowds did. Great beauti ful bouquets here and there through out the building were rinally torn to pieces and distributed. Could just one Portland street of roses have been transplanted to the big exposition it would have been the most tremendous treat Imaginable. A rose. Just a roso, but all who didn't get one looked as disappointed as though it had been a ' gold mine. And a gold mine Portland roses are, for they drew the people with alluring appeal. "They came from across the bay in hundreds, and they said over and over again: "We've heard so much about the Portland roses; we came just to, see Portland roses." All day the demand kept up. until at 4 o'clock, when the roses were finally distributed, a perfect mob was in the building, pushing and crowding around the central Information booth, from where the distribution by young girls took place. Cuttf iikm Are Wanted. Arms out. fingers straining, the vis itors evinced a mad desire for roses Portland roses and when 'there were no more roses, when straining hands and arms were denied, then they asked for the stems, the crushed and bruised left-overs. They said they wanted to plant them to plant Portland rose. One man. with the eager-eyed expres sion of the born flower lover, lingered after all had finally moved on. picking through the debris of leaves and petals, looking for stems that-might be made to grow and all this in a flower land where fragrance of pepper and orange and jasemine fairly intoxicated. Truly, we grow through our food! It was open house all day, with music intermittently, dancing in the ballroom, tea in the reception-room and reunions everywhere. The only trouble was the crowd; it was hard to get around, every man and woman connected in any way with the Oregon building turned host or hostess and ministered to the moving, seething mass of people who had coma because it was Portland Rose-day. Mrs.' Charles A. Gray was assisted in ttvo reception-room by Mrs. TV". L. - Thompson, of Pendleton, and members of the Oregon Society in San Francisco. Many pretty little stories wrote, themselves into the annals of Oregon hospitality. "Woman of 09 Among; Callers. A dear old lady, as straight and spry as her great granddaughters who accompanied her, eagerly told me she had come to Oregon 45 years ago with a mule team across the plains. She had lived in Salem till the last ten years, when she had made her home with her granddaughter in Oakland. This was her first visit to the big fair she waited for Oregon day. She is Mrs. S. L. Thompson, in her 99th year. Her last remaining son. H. Y. Thomp son, died recently, his death being chronicled in The Oregonian. She has a copy of The Oregoian with her. and she soon had an armful of roses. There was just one rose for most people, but for Grandma Thompson there was a bride's armful. She insisted there were no roses like Oregon roses; no people like Oregon people: no place like Oregon; every thing that is shown her, so her grand daughter. Mrs. Arbogast. says, grandma insists is not quite as nice as it is In Oregon; she loved the big Oregon logs. and her eyes glowed as she eat before the roaring fire in the Oregon fire place for the air was a little chilly in spite of the sunshine and talked of parly days in Oregon. Her husband is buried there, and she says she will soon go home to Oregon and lie be side him. Portlanders Are EBthmlutli!. A granddaughter of Matthew Patton Mrs. William Penn Watson, was an other interested visitor. She told us of her grandfather's early experiences In Oregon. And there were many people directly from Portland: Mr. Thompson, of Hartman &. Thompson, eagerly await ing the outcome of the milk competi tion, for he had made several entries. and Mrs. w. L,. Marshall saying: un, if only everyone in Portland could see this fair." A thousand times a day, she says, she wants to telegraph the one word, 'Come!" Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, who used to edit the Woman's Tribune in Port land, was here from Washington, D C. meeting old friends. She is to give a series of lectures between June 27 and July 3 on "New Thought" in San Fran Cisco. Richard Carter Warriner, of Portland, was there with his new song, "My Rose of Oregon," which Percy Gordon Bretland, who composed the music, is singing now in San Francisco. san it reoeatedlv at the Orpi-nn building, now from the balcony high over head, and now in the reception room. He has a powerful baritone, and he filled the great building to the de light of every one. The Agricultural College band also played delightfully for an hour. "BUI" Hauler la Host. William Hanley's visit to the fair is remembered most enthusiastically by the Oregon Agricultural College seniors. whom he took especially under his wing, entertaining them in many ways, but most delightfully of all. perhaps, in an automobile trip out through the lovely San Matea Valley, where they saw Call fornia in all her verdant beauty. Com missioner Hawley was also a guest of Mr. Hanley. In speaking of the day Mr. Hanley said: You can t do enough for these college seniors, who are so truly presenting the real Oregon boy and the real Oregon girl to the great world that is assembling daily at the exposition. Modest, womanly young women, who are really the backbone of our state when it comes to a matter of real worth and ral value, their work is doing more to rightly advertise Ore gon than any other-one feature of the Oregon exhibit; and they work harder, perhaps, than any one 'else, though every one seems to have plenty to do. "The college." he added, "Is making scientific farmers of these fine young men and women, and It is scientific farming that will pull Oregon out of OREGONIANS I ' ! ; -l iK'i -,Vl:V, I :.:: ':?

The college band boys were enter tained aboard the battleship Oregon, where they gave one of their band con certs yesterday. They were received by Lieutenant Bell, especially escorted all over the old- ship, where the life aboard was explained, and they were snapped from every direction by vis itors and marines, who applauded their playing most enthusiastically. The "home paper" demand is aston ishing in the midst of so much to see. Steadily around the press booth moves a devoted crowd, every one watching a chance to get a glimpse at a home paper. And some of them hadn't been away from home 48 hours! Never had the moving picture lecture- hall been so crowded as on the two Oregon days, when the Portland Rose Festival pictures were advertised, also the Pendleton Round-Up. They pleased every one.

LAND LAWS UPHELD AGAINST BUREAUS New Era Expected as Result of Decision That Entryman Has His Rights. PATENT MUST BE ISSUED Claimant Who Has Complied With Statutes Cannot Be Deprived of Title by Arbitrary Ruling of , Department. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 19. The United States Supreme Court having twice in the cur rent month decicfed that the land laws confer definite rights on entrymen which the Land Office and Secre tary of the Interior cannot arbitrarily vitiate or set aside, it is assumed that a new era in land administration has begun, for the decisions xf the Supreme Court are binding on the department. In the cases recently decided one set arising in Oregon and 'the other in Washington, the court makes it plain that Congress determined- the condi tions under which citizens may acquire title to public lands, and whenever a citizen indicates an entry or makes a filing under any of the land laws, and thereafter meets all the requirements of the law under which he filed, tt is incumbent upon the Land Department to issue such settler a patent. Secretary Has No Discretion. The Secretary of the Interior has no discretionary power to withhold a pat ent; ne cannot patent the land to a subsequent claimant, though the sec ond entryman may also have met all the requirements of the law. The origi nal entryman has earned his patent and it must be issued to him. It so happened in the cases decided by the Supreme Court that the original claimants made lieu selections, instead of direct entries, and in both cases the Interior Department permitted home stead and timber entries to be made on the identical lands after the lieu selec tions had been filed. This was dose. though the department admitted that the base offered was valid and the land open to lieu selection at the time it was covered by scrip filings. In the one case the lieu selections were er roneously held up by the local land of ficers and finally rejected after the subsequent entries had been passed to patent; In the other instance the lieu selections have been held up arbitrarily or through neglect for 13 years, and to this day have not been acted on. The Supreme Court finds that the rights of the lieu selectors, though disregarded by the department, are valid and must be recognized. Selections Held I p 15 Tears. Especial significance Attaches to the Washington case, for in that case the Lieu selectors used what is known as b. A. Hyde base. These selections were made 15 years ago. when land fraud in vestigations were under way in the Pa cific Northwest and when E. A. Hitch cock was Secretary of the Interior. The Government was prosecuting or pre paring to prosecute Hyde and others. and Secretary Hitchccock. in November. 1903, issued an order suspending all lieu selections made with Hyde scrip, Though this order was issued some time after the filings in question, it evidently operated to prevent the ao proval of these and like selctions and that order is still in effect. The Supreme Court accepted the opinion of the Interior Department that his particular Hyde scrip was valid in itself and the scrip having been valid when offered, the Court finds that -the Department exceeded its au thority when It refused to approve the selections and patent the lands to the lieu selectors. Hitchcock Order Nullified. The eftect of this decision, therefore seems to be that the Department must abrogate the order of Secretary Hitch cock, and where valid scrip has been offered and where the lieu selections have been in all respects legal and in accordance with law, must approve the selections. in cases, as in this on where-the Department has sanctioned the patenting of lands so selected to subsequent entrymen, the Department's illegal action must bo undone. The effect of these decisions of the Supreme Court will be widespread, for the titles to many tracts of land are af rected and many decisions of the In terior Department are reversed. Where lieu selectors have been improperly de prived of their rights by the Depart ment, tne probable course of action will be the institution of equity suits to have the holders of the lands through pat ents declared trustees to hold the title thus obtained to public lands in trust ror . the original claimants. This was the course followed in the cases carried to the Supreme Court. Where lieu selections have been held up without Justification and the lands are still unpatented, the effect will be to compel the Department tapprove the lieu selections and issue patents in conlormity with law. .
