C. Cooper of McMInnvIIle. Right Fred G. Cooper of New York. Fred G. Cooper, the New York ar tist, who designed the Rose Festival poster, was in Portland yesterday. J. C. Cooper, of McMinnville, who furnished the Festival slogan, "The Whole World Knows the Portland Ros," came in to meet him. Fred Q. Cooper is his son. They went out to McMinnville this morning for a visit, in the old home town, where Fred first practiced on the back-yard fence with a piece of chalk. Fred Cooper Is one of the best known and best paid commercial and magazine artists of the country. He is 31 years old, has a family, and a year or so ago built a $30,000 house on Long Island. He left McMinnville 15 years ago, going to New York via San Francisco, as did Homer Davenport, Frank Bowers and other western boys who have -succeeded as artists ' and car toonists. The Coopers, father and son, will be the guest of the board of governors of the Rose Festival at dinner next Tuesday, and later In the evening they will be entertained at the I Press club. . Two hundred ' hueky railroad 'men, armed , with shovels, mattocks, brush hooks, axes and spades, will start work Saturday in South Portland to level off the mile-long recreation pars: along the river presented for the use of the Har riman club by President J. D. Farrell of the O-W. R. & N. company. The club's, directors have formally accepted tne proposition of establish ing the park and have agreed to fi nance the undertaking. As soon as the land is cleared, a nine-hole golf course will be laid out, with four tennis courts and two baseball diamonds. Construc tion of the clubhouse, grandstand and swimming pavilion will follow as rap idly as the work can be done. The first work, however, will be the work on the grounds themselves and this will be pushed during every avail ale hour the club members have to spare. . As previously announced, the activi ties of the Harriman club will center about the proposed clubhouse, which will have wide verandas suitable for dancing in all weathers. Reading rooms and rest rooms within will be features which will be amplified as the club's funds permit. Fire at Lebanon. Lebanon, Or., May 14. The house belonging tc P.

Returns. chief deputy United States marshal, left Port land a few days ago "dolled up" in lis. salt and pepper summer suit, straw hat and an i expectation of enjoying the :'"be-you-ti-ful'- climate of Cali fornia. He anticipated sunshine. California, and particularly that part known as San Francisco, offers cli mate pleasing and otherwise, and Billy cruised Into the otherwise. Thinly clad, he stood in the federal building of the Bay City, shivering. His knees knocked together from pen etrating cold. Outside a raw wind gave the rain: a driving slant. Then he spied Everett Johnson, chief deputy; United States attorney, coming down the hall, snug and warm in an overcoat. "Say, Everett." sang out McSwaln, "up in Portland we've been good friends for years. You are going back to Oregon where it's warm. B m-r- cuui and lend me your coat.' . Jonnson, who was on his way to catch a northbound train, acquiesced and as he struck outside McSwaln snouted: ; "If it rains in Portland you'll find my overcoat Sin Mr. Mori tag's office.' it rained, - alright, and soon , after Johnson got into the city he hurried to tne marshal's office. There was no overcoat. And then Johnson caught a cold, a sniffy, sheezy on cut wnen jucswaia returns th This ain't no hire a dray?" 1 Or, xreigm car,- mum.". But this is the day of the Jitney. The chair was given a place of honor on the platform,; the woman paid her fare and the car bowled merrily on its way. " a dif- to- Now Kick Nowadays. The Jitneys certainly make rerence. A woman boarded a car bound ward the east side this morning with a large package. It wasn't an ordi nary bundle, or even a suitcase, pot ted plant, collapsible perambulator, bag of golf sticks, bowl of goldfish, or any of the things one usually sees carried by street car pas severs. Instead, it was a rocking chair and a full grown one at that. It was wrapped In brown paper and tied with string, but its furniture lines stood out plainly for all to see. The chair was so heavy that the woman had a hard time lifting it on the platform, but she did, and none protested. And there were no re marks. One would have excused the con ductor if he had said, "Why don't you Has' $8 Laugh, Anyhow. Although he is $8 wiser than before, an east side butcher finds himself also able to emit an $8 laugh. ?Don't keep me from laughing," be says to customers who 'kid" him about it. -It's all I've got for my money," . , ' It was the old,! old story. A strange man and y woman entered the store and looked for veal roasts. The veal was all sold out.; . t "Better take a pot roast, Henry." ald the woman.- So they selected a $2 roast arid or dered it sent to an address, near East orty-second and Harrison streets, where resides an elderly woman. "Bring change for $10 the man aid as he went out. So . when the butcher 'boy. went to aenver tne meat, he had a $5 gold piece and three silver dollars clinking in his pocket. The man met' him on the front side walk. -. "What kept you so long?" he de manded reproachfully. "Maw has been waiting to get that roast on. Now you hurry in with that meat- I don't see why you boys loaf so much on the Job. My time is valuable. I ought to be down town now on an appointment. Give me the change and maw will hand you the $10 gold piece." Then he wrote on the package "Maw Give boy $10." ; The boy gave him the $8 and went on to the house with the meat. 1 didn't order any meat," the wo man said. "I have no son. You have been swindled." When the boy ran out to look for the purchaser of the meat, he found the street empty.' . Former Justice Dead. Denver. Colo., May 14. (P. N. S.) Joseph. C.
