Raising of Bid Is
ft i ! :i i tp r'J
A. J. Anderson Shows Ml Memoran
dum Book to Show Tha He Added
PIgTxres Incorrectly; Ho Action. ''
Salem. Or May 1. Charges that the
state board of control raised the bid
of A. J. Anderson for the construction
of a dryer building and, milk house at
the Cottage farm of the .state hospital
for the insane are based on facts, it
appears from (the records. Anderson's
bid was $459(1 for" the work, and the
contract was liet at $5690.
However, itj is explained by Secre
ts ry Good In tills afternoon that when
the bids were opened it was remarked
that Anderson must have made a mis
take and. : on investigating, Anderson
found -that in adding up a column of
figures he had made the total $3430.
instead of $4430. Anderson showed his
memorandum j book to the board, to
. ar fc . . aaa 1 1 oaa
made a mistake. w: -Anderson's
fbld, with $100.0 i added,
was $475 less )than that of Sewiert and
Ertgstrom. thet next lowest bidder. He
had a certified check for $300 on file
and the board iwas confronted with! the
proposition ofj forfeiting this check, or
, giving bim $1000 more than his ibid.
It was i decided that the latter plan
would' be the best, and that it would
,be an injustice to forfeit the $300.
- While it was asserted that the board
had absolutely no right to raise An
"derson's bid 11000 on the plea that he
had made a mistake, and that if he ditt
not car to take the Job at $4590 his
cnecK snouia nave been forfeited and
new bids called for, no move has been1
made towards, upsetting the contract.

New Fruit Tree
Disease Is Found
Eugene, Or., May l.-r-A .new fruit
tree disease which, experts have .so far
been . unable to correctly - diagnose, has
recently been discovered inland near
Eugene. Professor, H.' S.- Jackson,
plant pathologist at ' the Oregon;' Agri
cultural college x. at " Cbrvallls, - was
called here yesterday by 3 E. Stewart,
county fruit inspector, to examine: the
trees which . are affected He was
unable to tell what the disease is and
took a number of , twigs to Corvallis
to be examined under - the microscope.
The new 'disease resembled to soma
extent fire blight,- which has been dis
covered in some sections of ; this coun
ty, but it differs materially from: this
disease, - say- Prof essoT ' Jackson and
Inspector Stewart, For severalweeks
It was thought to have been blight "and
fruit , men were ; greatly . worried over
its appearance, but experts now declare
that they were mistaken. ,
The disease appears mostly on pear
trees, which are also almost exclusive
ly attacked by fire blight, It first aV
tacks the bud and young shoot on: the
trees and eventually kills the limbs. '
We know it is not fire blight, said
the inspector - yesteiroay, ,but ? are un
able to tell Just what it is. The O. A.
C. horticulturists will try to .work it
out.' The disease, may be" due to soil
conditions.. ; It: does; not seem to be in
fectious at all . and has not yet ap
peared in the commercial orchards. It
is -found - scattered - here - and there-in

NO SEPARATE ROSE .
SHOW IN PENINSULA
T, IS BELIEF
But; North Portland Wants
All to See Blooms at the
Sunken Garden,
,The separate rose show successfully
conducted at; Peninsula park',, last year
by the Korth Portland Commercial
club and its Woman's auxiliary, with
community exhibits from Various dis
tricts , of the peninsula prooably will
not be heid this year. General senti
ment of North Portlanders is declared
to favor . Instead a concentration of
that section's efforts on a Worth Port
land rose booth at the -downtown cen
ter of the Rose Festival.
Mrs.; G. -E. Lawrence,; president of
the auxiliary, stated yesterday that
she favors this plan, believing the
sunken rose garden at Peninsula park
is, an exhibit in itself and that dis
trict exhibits at the park mean more
or less undesirable, rivalry. With the
Rose Festival; itself. i
E., M. , Orth, president of the club,
stated, yesterday that he also favored
the new plan, since the North Portland
district would have as . good a chance
as any other section of winning prizes
at tne aowntown civic center and a
great amount of effort and time spent
in , securing district displays for Pen
insula park would be saved.
Mrs. Lawrence, Mr. Orth and Mrs.
Marshall N. Dana, president of the
Ockley Green Parent-Teacher associa
tion, were appointed at a joint meet
ing af North Portland : library Friday
night to conier with the board of gov
ernors of the Bose Festival Tuesday

cert at Peninsula park one night dur

den illuminated, is a contemplated

standing room, with the inmates; all
dressed in their Sunday, bib and tucker,
and filled to the brim with the holiday
spirit. I
They were in the mood to enjoy rag
time, and, unlike the one littlo woman,
who said she had a preference. but
would not tell what it was, because
she did not ;want ' to be partial, I the
guests as a whole did not hesitate to
make knowny their delight in syncopa
tion and applaud: such numbers with
crutches, cranes, hands, etc
f . The ; managements of the Oregon,
Benson and Rainbow grills and the
Friars' i club loaned some of their i en
tertainers to make up the varied pro
gram of instrumental and vocal music.
Anita Osgood gave some of her typ
ically clever numbers; Pauline Arthur
and J. Hurley were prime . favorites
with their ragtime and character
songs. Other entertainers who contrib
uted -were Ef fie Burton, Iva Lyons,
Miss Hamilton, Camilla Taylor, Fritz
Hanelln, .Wlll Burt, F. C. Beldin, Rob
ert Bayne and Joe Marks. For i the
finale the -entire chorus sang "Tlpper
ary" and "Good-Bye, Everybody," the
latter to words they had composed
specially for the occasion.
At the clcse large quantities of oranges,-
cookies, sacks of candy and to
bacco were distributed, and there were
armloads of tarnations for the tuber
cular 3nd hospital wards, where del
icacies i were given. . t
This is the third of the mission May
Day parties, nvhlch have now become
a tradition-of the farm. Among the

sion who motored out . were: Mrs.; M.
