So pleasins a feature of the festival was the dedication of two new roses at Peninsula park last Wednesday that the Royal Rosarians desire to make it an annual event, placing Portland still more firmly In the van as a center of rose culture. RoMriiM Conduct Ceremony. The ceremony at Peninsula park was conducted by the Royal Rosa rians. Frank McCrilis was master of ceremonies and- the dedicating and christening ceremony was conducted by Dr. E. A. Pierce after the call for r.ew roses had been isseud by 12. J. Jaecer.

"Fir reaches the New England mar ket now on an 80-cent rate as against southern pine on a 39-cent rate; and a percentage increase would mean 19 cents added for fir and 9 cents for pine. "It was to protect the existing com petitive rate relationship that the west coast asked the interstate com merce commission to make any In crease in rate necessary to yield the carriers requisite revenue by using a percentage system, plus a flat maximum." Copies of the initiative petition providing for the placing on the ballot of a measure setting aside a bird refuge in the southeastern part of the state were passed out to mem bers of Portland's 97 troops of Boy Scouts, with the instructions- that the 20 names provided for on the blank petitions be obtained and turned into Scout headquarters at once. To troop 92 went the honor of ob taining the largest number of names in the shortest time. The prize of fered for this service by the Roose velt Bird Refuge association was one of R. Bruce Horsfall's bird pictures. The selection was left to Mr. Brock way and he has chosen a study of the western grosbeak, which has been framed and which also bears a plate engraved with the number of the troop. It hangs on the wall of the Scout headquarters, opposite Central library. "If the American public insists on riding 60 miles an hour in trains de lux, having its finger nails mani cured en route, it should pay its share of the increased cost in operating railroads," said Robert B. Allen, when asked to explain the west coast lum ber industry's attitude toward in creased, freight rates. The case of the west coast industry was presented before the interstate commerce commission by A. C. Dixon of Eugene, George G. Gerlinger of Portland, Joseph N. Teal, general counsel, and H. N. Proebstel, traffic manager of the "West Coast Lumber men's association. Indications now are that the com mission will reach an early conclusion regarding increased "rates, and that the advance will be effective Septem ber 1. In all likelihood, when the advances are announced, there will be a rush of buying on the part of large lumber users, who will seek to get under cover ahead of the increased rates; but it is extremely doubtful if orders placed later than July 1 can be de livered prior to September 1, by rea son of the extreme car shortage throughout the country, which is es pecially acute In the Pacific north west. "For purely political purposes it has been the policy of carriers to keep the traveling public from feeling the sting of added railroad operating cost by exempting passenger fares from Increases in the new rate applica tion now before the Interstate com merce commission," said Mr. Allen. 1 "Passenger traffic yields about 25 per cent of railroad revenues at the present time. Such traffic should ab sorb its proportionate share of any increased operating expenses. "Aside from that, the west coast lumber industry is in close accord with national policy concerning the future of the carriers. The industry feels that the railroads should have sufficient revenue to put them In a sound position financially, and to re store the pre-war basis of transporta tion efficiency. "The west coast industry in pre senting its case at Washington asked for a percentage increase up to say a 20-cent rate, with any increase be yond that point made in flat cents per hundred pounds. 1 'Such a rate policy would yield the carriers the necessary revenue and at the same time would not disturb the competitive relationship now prevail ing in the larger eastern markets. A straight percentage advance right through would handicap the long-haul producing territories very seriously. For instance, on present rates fir reaches the Chicago market at 60 cents per cwt.; southern pine reaches the same market on the rate of 31 cents per cwt. The carriers' application for a 24 per cent straight advance to this market would mean Increase of 14 cents for fir as NEW OIL FIELD VISITED CAPITALISTS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPMENT AT HAXFORD.

Elation is felt by Reed college trus tees over the election of Dr. Gardner C. Basset as head of the. Reed de partment of psychology next year. Dr. , Basset has resigned as assistant pro lessor of psychology at Leland Stan ! ford university to come to Reed. Dr. Basset was born In Boston and was graduated from Clark college in 1908. He received his doctor's degree at Johns Hopkins university in 1913. During the next year he did research work for the Carnegie institution and was assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburg from I 1915 to 1919. Dr. Basset served as a captain in the army and was stationed at Camp Logan. During the early part of the war he was the commanding officer of the development troops at Camp Logan and was later attached to the staff of General Guy V. Henry, com mander of the camp. Ms ElalZlsssTr-a m f MX mm of DAVID CAMPBELL HONORED Officials and Members of Eire De partment at Rlvervlew. A score of officials and members of the Portland fire department gathered at Rivervlew cemetery yesterday to attend the annual memorial services for the late David Campbell, former fire chief, who met death in a large conflagration about ten years ago. Acting-Mayor Bigelow, Fire Chief Dowell and A. G. Long, president of the Campbell Memorial association were in charge of the simple rites in connection with the service. These services have become an annual event in the Portland fire bureau and as j many men as can be spared attend j to pay- homage to their former chief. PROSSER, Wash., June 26. (Spe cial.)- Forty-two Seattle and Tacoma people visited the oil field at the townsite of Hanford a few days ago. It was also visited by two capitalists who were interested in establishing glass factory, to take advantage the exceptionally pure deposits silica sand in almost unlimited quan tity. In a paper read before the White Bluff Woman's club by "Mrs. Jennie C. Koppen. a resident of White Bluffs and Hanford. district, it was stated the oil field extending from Prosser on the Yakima to Hanford and White Bluffs on the Columbia, embracing the Saddle mountains and the Rattle snake hills, was once covered by what geologists termed John Day Lake, fxteiiuing from the high lands of the Okanogan country on the north and iruni liic Cascades on the west and along the foothills of Bitter Root and Coeur d'Alene mountains on the east, south to the Blue mountains and pla teaus of central and northeastern Oregon. The Saddle mountains and Rattlesnake hills were once islands In this lake. Originally the lake was an inland sea created by the upheaval tnat brought the Cascade mountains into existence. Volcanoes from these mountains brought ashes and lava to the Columbia river basin. Fossils and the remains of prehis toric fauna, which are found in abun dance in the Hanford and Prosser dis tricts, discloses that there were great forests of ferns, acacias and other tropical plans along the borders of the lake, and that strange animals and little sea things frequented the ranges. Among the rare animals was the little five-toed horse that has been found as -far north as Ringgold Bar, also the remains of the camel and llama, which were found imbedded in the clay of Wbite bluffs, in the north boundary of Benton county, S00 feet I beneath the surface. Peach Crop Sliort. YAKIMA. Wash., June 26. (Special.) CABLE RATES REDUCED Toll From Portland to Brazil Cut 2 0 Cents a Word. The new cable which the Western Union will lay to Brazil to connect with the Western Telegraph com pany's system south of there, has already had the effect of reducing the Brazilian rate from Portland from 85 cents to 65 cents per word according to a telegram received by City Superintendent Williams today. As soon as the Western Union- Western cable is in operation the rate will be further reduced to 60 cents a word. The reason this rate can be made is that the new route of the Western Union goes directly to Brazil, whereas the present route goes down the west coast of South America, crosses the Andes to Buenos Aires, and thence back up the east coast, making a much longer route.

' 3 illOiil : II IlllSSpf OREGON'S FLOUR PRODUCTION The colossal food requirements of Europe arising shortly after the beginning of the Great War, precipitated a most remarkable . development of -wheat-flour production in the state of Oregon. Our Allies stood face to face with an appalling food shortage. But relief was assured and Oregon, with her sister states, bent to the task. Each Spring, beginning with the early part of 1915, was marked with addi tional acreage put into the growing of wheat, as well as ' additional milling facilities made necessary by the increase in grain, production. There were 1,791,000 barrels of wheat-flour produced in Oregon during the year 1914. This production has steadily mounted, as shown by the 1919 output, to 3,800,000 barrels, an in-' crease of over 2,000,000 barrels in five years. .There were 95 flour mill3 in this state at the end of 1914. Today there are 112 mills in Oregon, with a daily capacity of 21,941 barrels of superior flour. The mills are situated on the Willamette and Columbia rivers, permitting ships from every world port to load their car goes direct from- the mill docks. The great Columbia river basin provides a down-grade haul from the wheat fields east of the Cascades to the milling center, saving thousands of dollars in transportation charges which would otherwise be included in the cost of flour. The peculiar qualities of the sub-soil in the wheat growing area of Oregon produce one of the finest grades of wheat in the United States. This wheat is milled into Oregon's Best Hard Wheat Patent Flour, used chiefly in the household, and a flour that compares favor ably with the celebrated Patent Flour milled from the hard wheat grown in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Of the total 3,800,000 barrels produced in Oregon in 1919, 2,500,000 were shipped to foreign markets and 1,300,000 barrels used in home consumption. The total brought the sat isfactory return of $38,950,000. Thus is indicated the important part trie flour industry is destined to play in the de velopment of a Greater Oregon.
