EXPECT 200,000 PEOPLE TO ATTEND ROSE SHOW Festival Association Managers Jluch Encouraged by the Liberal Contributions From Business Men Aim . , to Raise Fund oi $100,000 for the Carnival. - Sioes Portland's Kose Festival In 180J will b the greatest event of the kind th city has ever known. Thl much may 1 be said even as early as this, though the Rose Festival association has only recently begun its work. It takes money as well as energy to make a success of Portland's annual festival of the roses, and it is the fact that the money - Is coming In so well that encourages the officers of the association to make the statement that the festival next June will surpass in magnificence and In tne number of people It will bring . to Portland the enow or any previous year. There Is no doubt but that the asso ciation will have a much more plentiful . supply of mBfiey to spend next year . than it has had before. The value which . the business men In the city attach to the Kose Festival is demonstrated by the fact that nearly all of them are greatly 4ncrealng-4hrr annual L sub; .. scriptions. Two' of the big department stores, Meier & Frank, and Olds, Wort- man ft King, have notified President Ralph W. Moyt that they will, double ' their former contributions. They do this, both from civic pride and for business reasons. Knowing that , the Rose Festival, which has made Port, land known all over the world, brings thousands of people to the city and much more than repays the money it costs, i'. . ...... X hundred thousand dollars Is the mark which the festival association has set for itself, and the officials . are confident that this sun or one very near it. will be raised. Other department stores besides those mentioned above have promised to In crease their former subscriptions, but have not yet made known the sums they will contribute. Virtually all the bus iness men have promised that they will contribute much more liberally this year than heretofore. Last year, on account of , the tightness of money resulting from the panic, the associa ; Hon was obliged to get along with only . $30,000. The- results attained by the ' expenditure of that amount demonstrate what may be expected next June. The officers of the association are ". confident that the Rose Festival next year will attract not lens- than 00.000 , ' people to Portland. This estimate is based on the large number of Inquiries ., that already are being received, from all parts of the United States and even . from Europe in reference to . the fes tival. The Alaska-Tukon-Paclflo exposition at Seattle opens just a week before the first day of the Rose, Festival in " Portland ' and the- cheap rates to the exposition are to be extended to Port land during the Rose Festival. Thou sands of people coming to the coast to go to the Seattle fair will undoubtedly take : advantage of the opportunity, to . see Portland's flower show. President ' Hoyt has determined to ofter prises for the most effective and artistic designs for pouters to be used , in advertising the Rose Festival. At a conference yesterday between Assistant Passenger Agent Charlton of the North ern Pacihc and Ralph W. Hoyt, presi dent of the Rose Festival association. It was decided that the best plan for advertising the festival would be to have posters designed and printed, : to be hung up In all the railroad depots and similar places. The posters are to be large ones, drawn to bring out the spectacular feat ures of the big event In order' to ob tain the best designs It was decided to send out circulars to the artists ; throughout the country, telling of the competition and Inviting them to take part In it. All drawings must have the rose much In evidence, and must also mention in some way the dates of the Rose Festival. June 7-U. 1S0. The Importance which the blar business Arms of the city attach to - the Rose Festival Is Illustrated by the followln letters received by President Ralph 'Dear SirThe Meier ft' Frank com. pany takes pleasure in doubling its for mer contribution to the 'Rose Festival. Enclosed please find our subscription lor i.uuu. "The Rose Festival has advertised Portland favorably the world over, and has done a great deal to upbuild the Kose uity and to increase its popula turn. - . "Not long since, when a member of this firm was in New York, and other prominent eastern cities. rerorters the metropolitan newspapers sousrht In tervlews with him and printed lengthy articles about the wonders of our city and the Oregon country. The reporters were laminar witn ice news or our an nual- fiesta; and abundance of flowers. They readily understood cllmatlo con. ditlons that can produce beautiful roses on tne lawn ana in the garden every month' of the year. It was a consensus of their opinion that Oregon is an Ideal place in which to live, and that Port iana is certainly an attractive place. "it was a very great surprise to know that nearly everr one with whom th member of bur -Arm conversed was well informed on the subject or Portland profusion of flowers and Its annual week of festival. The 300 words sent out by the Associated. Press on "Rose Planting Day,' February 22. attracted almost universal attention, aiffl had that publicity been paid for at current rates it would have cost not less than a half minion ot dollars. "The Meier & Frank company, there- is cheerfully to the has so much of beautiful fore, contributes cause that sentiment, prosperity and happiness that haa resulted in making Portland ai far famed for Its wealth of roses and climate as Toklo Is noted for its cherry blossom, pageants and New Orleans Its Alarm uras. , ; . "With best wishes for a grand and successful celebration next June, we pledge to do everything In our nower to consummate the promised dream 6f spienaor. lours earnestly, "MEIER & FRANK CO., "By J. L. MEIER, Mgr. "Dear Sir In handing vou herewith onr contract for double our subscription of last year to th Rose Festival asso ciation, it is done with a feeling that it in one oi me dcsv investments we can make, looking at It purely in a selfish way, as our business was more than doubled during the last Festival week. "Rut, tklnir a more. comirehmlv and patriotic view of the matter, we are iea io five-financial and moral support to the Festival association;-feeling that in aomg so we are contributing to the upbuilding and general welfare of both the city and state! for it seems to us certain that attention to our wonderful resources and matchless climate cannot be drawn to the attention of eastern people 'in a more forceful, , and at the same time a more agreeable way, than through the medium of our annual dis play of matchless rosea It Is some thing tnat appeals at once to the es thetics taste of all classes', and. havina- visited our annual rose display once, a favorable Impression is made that will last icrever. very respectruuy yours. "OIMB, WORTMAN A KINO, Per H. C. WORTMAN." LOW SILVER WEAKENS OUR ORIENTAL TRADE Price of Metal Breaking All Low Records and Flour Sales Are Therefore Smaller Little Hope Is Given for the Near Future by Our Consuls. Vice Consul-Gen eral E. G. Babbit of Yokohama sends the following extract from a Japanese paper regarding the flour situation: According to an estimate furnished by a reliable authority, the total quan tity of flour Imported for this year will not exceed 800,000 sacks, which la leas .than one third the quantity Imported in . 190. All the flour merchants are . suspending new orders and are trying to clear their stocks as quickly as pos sible, sven at a loss. Up to 10 the quantity of foreign flour annuallyi imported was 100,000 sack or thereabouts. Subsequently the sudden expansion of the purchasing power of the natives on account of the war and the rise in silver resulted in a great Increase In the Import of flour. "With the fall of silver and the re sumption of a normal condition of ex- , chsnge, however the Importation of ' flour has begun to decline; resulting In the existing dullness of the trade, In view of the scale of living prevailing . In Manchuria, it is believed that the de mand for a large quantity of imported flour cannot., be expected In the near future. The rise In the price of flour owing to the fluctuation of exchange has been great, as may be seen from the fact that a new brand was quoted at Muk den at 18.30 (Chinese currency, equal Jo tSe gold) per sack In January last year which Is now void at 12.95 (1.26) in such circumstances it Is not surpris ing that the foreign flour trade In Man churia should experience such a depres " slon as at present. AMERICAN FLOUR IS MUCH BETTER THAN ORIENTAL MAKE The following Information, as riven . in a Newchwang newspaper concerning me present condition or tne riour trade In that city, is furnished by Consul M nomas JJ. iieenan. or W-ewchwang: The stock- 'of flour at this -. port -Is small, and the - Imports ' are .equally The Perfect Woman Is Not a Fat One Artists -say the Ideal proportion of weight in a woman is tl pounds for very foot of her height This .would .make a woman of i feet Inches weigh i pounas ounces.

An effort to defeat the $200,000 suit for alienation of her husband's affeo tions filed by Mrs. Suzanne D. Jacobs against wealthy relatives of her hus band in Portland, was set on foot yes terday through the filing of a demurrer to Mrs. Jacobs' complaint Dolph, Mal- lory, Blmon & Gearln. representing the defendants, Mr, and Mrs. Isaac Jacobs, Alfred G. Jacobs. Gaston Q. 'Jacobs. Garry B. Jacobs and Mrs. Lllllon Lang, filed the Ttleadlnar. The most significant part of the de murrer is a declaration that the suit cannot be maintained because the time within which such an action can be brought under the statutes of Oregon haa expired. In the comnlalnt it is Mrs. Jacobs that her husband. D. Jacobs, was enticed away from her In 1905 through subtle contrivances, coaxing, money inducements and threats of disinheritance on the part of the defendants, who are the father and mother, brothers and sister of Morton IX Jacobs. For these alleged acts the deserted wife asks for $100,000 actual damages and $100,000 more as punitive damages. But under the law of Oregon actions Involving damages must be hrniirht within two vears from the time of the injury complained of. As the enticement is auegeu to nave ueeii effected in this case in 1905, the defend ants hope to shut Mrs. Jacobs out of court before she gets started with her sensational suit Morton D. Jacobs was married In New Tork In July, 18S9, to Miss Suzanne D. Munsey. His parents in Portland and the rest of his family were not pleased by the alliance, the principal ground of objection being, it is said, that they had hoped he would marry a Jewish girl and not Into a gentile fam ily. Mrs. Jacobs says that she lived happily with her husband for several years, but that the members of his family . intermeddled and threatened to disinherit him until he was turned against her. Tne complaint was prepared in ine east by New York and Chicago lawyers Y Mrs, Jacobs, ano was rueo local attorney associated with employed b: dv a mcai them. The atruerle will ODen In ear nest with the argument on the de murrer presented in behalf of the de fendants, which will have the effect of throwing the case out of court If it Is sustained.

Esmes, C. M. E., Upon th SCsJnen Oil Piatrlpt. Malheur district promises to be' one of the largest oil producing fields-In the United States, If not in the world. Vale, Or., Jul V 1908 Dear Sirs: The ' delay In complying with your rw quest for a' report on this field, was caused by tne lacg or ume, ana ine un finished condition of my work, which contains anmethlnr over 10.000 words. and has taken three months of actual labor in the rieia. As I understand you, a condensed form of this work and Its important re lation to your holdings here, Is about What you require, and, without going into details that may tend to confuse the amateur. I will give you m brief of my work. I will confine myself to what Is termed the Vale Quadrangle, which In cludes townships 18-19 aud 20 eouth, ranges 43, 44 and 45 east. 'i.M topograpny is inai or a oroaa ralrie, modified by slight tilting along ault plains and erosions, exposing to view much of the underlying formation. rendering It quite easy to obtain geo logical data. The geological structure Is simple in theory, though complicated enough in detail. . Ages past this giant basin contained an Inland sea. In which sedimentary, marine and eroainal debris were laid down covering two, and perhaps three distinct periods of formation, consist ing of successive layers of sandstone, clavs. shales, conglomerates, calcareous cements, dlatomaceous shales, petrolifer ous shales and clays, fossiliferous sedi ments, gypsum bearing ciays ana shales, and erosional debris of every degree, end texture, color and thickness. irom a lew ieet to many nunareas. Two or more systems or disturbances. causing faulting and tilting and a punc ture of the formation in several places. producing at least two very prominent peaks, vis.: Round montaln, at Vale. and Double mountain in the southern J part or the territory, besides numerous mud and hot water geysers, most of whloh are extinct with the exceDtlon of the hot water spring at Vale. Altogether I rind here an lQeai condi tion for the forming of an Immense pool of oil and storing it uvidenee in tne neid, rossiurerous sandstone and shales, that will retort oil . gas, are found exposed In many places over the field, gas escaping from springs, oil on water from wells and spring.
