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

"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

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.

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.

. 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.

FLATTERING ACCOUNT
Report of B. W. 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.
Several hundred prospect wells from
SO to 160 feet deep, all show oil and
gas In' ponder quantities over the ter
ritory, '
The Malheur oil ft Gas Development
company are drilling a deep well at
tnis place, witn very premising results,
there is no doubt as to their success
when the oroper deoth Is obtained
Your holdings are located In the sreo-
grapnicai center or mis neia, and irom
close Inspection of your ground I am
confident that you have the choice of
tne territory; your sections are excep
tionally well located, and I am confi
dent wells drilled on them would pro
duce oil In commercial quantities within
a oepin or l.ouv reet.
I have been in nearly every oil field

From the escaping gases and other
evidence it Is safe to say you will have
