Many enthusiastic responses have
been received to the invitations sent
out by the Oregon commission to the
Panama-Pacific exposition to the gov
ernor of each state In the. Union to
attend the dedication of the 48 huge
lor columns surrounding .the Oregon
building at the fair grounds, to their
respective states.
Each stato is expected to furnish a
sultabl flair or pennant of a uniform
sice four by six feet to mount upon
and designate Its particular column.
Word comes from Illinois that a spe
cial Tag Is being made, bearing the
state seal and state flower, the native
violet; from Alabama comes an as
surance thut ,a flag will be provided,
and that an effort is being made to
secure funds for the proper representa
tion of their state at the exposition.
Governor John M. Haines of Idaho
writes; "Accept your suggestion with
pleasure. Permit me to say I think your
plan Is a most commendable one and it
. is certainly a very beautiful sentiment
that has prompted you to interest all
of the states in the Union in your
exposition building."
Missouri wUl have a special flag
made bearing the state seal, and ad
vises that there are more than 35,000
Mlssourlana living in California, all
of whom they feel will be glad of the
compliment Oregon is paying to Mis

said he had been advised, that another
error had been found In the count 1

"It is my desire that such action
be taken as will fairly expose the true
situation so that the contestant re

shall possess it beyond cavil," said
Judge McNary. "While I have not yet
heard from County Clerk Coffey
Judge Benson has stated to me over
the telephone that his count as recan

Two "Innocent Purchaser" Cases Af

Two more 'Innocent purchaser" cases
that have arisen in connection with

suit were settled yesterday when de

ernment. The Innocent purchasera are those
who bought the land from the railroad
company in large lots, in each In-,
stance more than 1000 acres, without
knowledge that the terms of the grant,
which provided that the land should
be sold in lots of not more than 160
acres at $2.60 an acre to actual set
tlers, were being violated.
The Keith Oil & Land company, and
The Clinton Kelly school was ad
judged the winner of first place for
having the best garden in class 1, di
vision 1. In class 1. dlvisian 2, which
includes small gardens at schools with
previous experience, the honors went
to Woodmere.
This is the decision of the Judges
made last week after they had vieited
each of the school gardens cultivated
on empty lots by various schools.
The selection of the winners was not
an easy task, however. Close compe
tition, indeed, marked the contests. In
division 1, class 1, Rose City Park was
close second. The judges finally
awarded the first place to Clinton Kel-

In the first division. Glencoe, Mount

In class' 1, division 2, Woodmere
and Creeton, first and third respective
ly, made wonderful showings consider
ing the fact that each worked new
ground. Gravelly soil characterizes
the lots on which the Woodmere chil
dren worked and at Creston the chil
dren were compelled to clear the school
property in the rear of the school of
brush and stumps before they could

The winner of the second place was
Highland. A distinguishing feature
here was a solid patch of potatoes

Among those receiving honorable
mention were Portsmouth, Brooklyn
and Kerns. The Kerns gardens are
divided into two lots each 50 by 100

Buckman the work of the students was
very noticeable. They were compelled
to work a heavy clay soil, cultivated
for the first time, which put them unr

Washington, June 20. The Journal

Senator Chamberlain on the subject of j
regulations for the development of
electric power. The- secretary of the
interior has been given an opportunity
to look over this communication, and
he has written Senator CJjamberlaln
the following letter regarding it:
"My Dear Senator: I have your let
ter of May 23, 1914, Inclosing a com
munication from H. B. Miller, chair
man of the Oregon hydro-electric, com
mlssldn, relating to the development of
electrical energy under federal super
vision, and note your request that I
advise you as to my present policy i
with respect to the matter involved
and the prospects for work along the
line suggested In Mr. Miller's commu
nication. taw Is Unsatisfactory.
"In reply, I have- to advise that
under existing law the use of public
lands for the development of electrical
energy is permitted under the pro
visions of the act of February 15,
1901 (31 Stat., 790), which authorises
the issuance of a permit or license for
euch development subject, however, to
the revocation of the permission by the
secretary of the interior or his suc
cessor in his dfscretion. This law is
unsatisfactory, both . from the view
point of the investor and of the United
States, and -the revocable status of
such permits operates to prevent in
vestment and 1evelopment.
"I have endeavored, however, so far
as poaolble, under existing law. to
work toward the policy of securing the
maximum development of a given site,

Four reels of film of the Portland
Rose Festival, under the title "How
Bessie Saw the Portland Rose Festi
val," will be exhibited at the Oaks
amusement park today and every aft
ernoon and evening during the -week.
Every feature of every parade will
be shown in detail in the film. Most
striking of all is the thousands of chil
dren in the Rose Festival, the faces
of every one of which can easily be
recognized by their parents.
The Rosarians, the newspapermen,
those taking part in all the events of
Rose Week will find themselves caught
in action by the movie man.
Another unique feature for today at
the Oaks is the taking of motion pic
tures of the crowd. If you have never
seen yourself in pictures go out to the
Oaks today and be filmed. One thou-
aand feet will be taken and displayed
next Sunday and all next week..
The crowds will be shown arriving
by car, starting from First and Alder,
visiting all the amusement devices,
sitting and watching the show. In
fact, if you can't manage to get into
the film some way or other, there will
be something wrong.
A special feature will be made of
the children at the Oaks. If you
would like to see your little one " In
film be on the lawn during the after
noon and the movie man will make a
point of getting them on the film.
The pictures will be taken from 1
o'clock to 6 o'clock this afternoon.
McElroy and his band, the Hawaiian
troubadoura and a number of soloists
are other features of the free Oaks'
program.
