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. "prime minister" of Rosaria.
The first rose to be christened was
the new creation of Captain George
C. Thomas Jr. of Philadelphia, and
It was christened "W. Freeland Ken
flrick." . bv Mrs. George L. Baker, in
honor of the retiring head of the
Mystic Shrine.
Jn this part of the ceremony Dr.
Pierce called attention to the fact
that the new rose was the result of a
crossing of Portland's own favorite
rose, "Carolina Testout." and "Avla
teur Bleriot."
The second rose was named "Im
perial Potentate," and In the absence
of W. Freeland Kendrick, who had
been selected as its sponsor, Mrs.

against an increase of 7 cents for
pine.
"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

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.

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.

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.

The Parker Idea
Dentistry
in
DR. PARKER
THE "Parker Idea. is to spread in
formation everywhere about the
importance of good teeth, because
good teeth stand for good health;
to make everything in dentistry
perfectly plain to the people;
to render to the great masses, at
a moderate price, the same class of
dental work that only the few could
afford in the past;
to practice dentistry according
to a System such as is used in banks,
trust companies and other successful
business institutions;
to conduct the demai business on a large scale, be
cause that is the only way the cost of good dentistry can
be cut down;
to improve the lot of the dentist himself, so that hi
can make a better living than when he works alone;
to take the fear of pain out of dentistry and give full
satisfaction to patients;
to put good dentistry within the reach of all.
There are twenty-four offices where the Parker Idea
carried out under the E. R. Parker System.

From recent letters F ten farmers who have used Giant
Powders for Stumping we make these extracts:
"I. Your Giant Farm Powders shoot the roofs 2. They
have wide breaking power and less bad gases than others.
3. I get the same excellent results from them every time.
4. They are always uniform. 5. I used eleven tons and
wouldn't have any other make. 6. I want to sell a lot of
other powder that I have because Giant does the work much
better. 7. Genuine Giant can't be equalled. 8. I don't have
to use so much powder when I blast with Giant. 9. You
know what w-e need for stumping. 10. I save money by
using Giant Powders."
