give immediate consideration to ther
rlcultural appropriation bill in an effort
t A secure a larger sum for 'Oregon Was
assurance given in a telegram received
by the Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce Saturday. .
Several days ago the state chamber
sent a message -to the senator pointing
out the fact that western states, and
Oregon In particular, were ,not getting
enough of the appropriation for agri
cultural development as outlined In the
bill which is to come before the senate
soon. The, message said :
"Oregon s ' Interests are seriously
threatened if agricultural appropriation
bill carrying $1,500,000 is passed. We
cannot continue work in progress with
out $4,500,000 appropriation ana dollar
for dollar basis of distribution. All
forms of. agricultural extension In Ore
gon are seriously affected.
"Eastern and -central states are not
concerned as materially as 11 estern
states. Under proposed ,plan of distribu
tion, Pennsylvania alone would receive
80 per cent more than eight combined
western mountain states 'Which produce
250 per cent more agricultural products
than Pennsylvania."
Journalism Course
Attracts Interest
Oregon Agricultural College." Corval
lis, May 31. Much interest is being
shown In the course to be ' offered by
the department of Industrial journalism
in the summer school session, particu
larly for teachers who are called upon
tq supervise the publication . of school
periodicals or to take charge of the
preparation of copy for the school news
column of local papers. - The students
will assist in the preparation and editing
of copy for the Summer School News.
Special stress will be placed on the writ
ing of articles on such subjects as home
economics, agriculture,, engineering And
commerce.
THE FINLEY ' INSTITUTION
was built from an ideal. Our
first thought was an institu
tion that would soften and relieve
the service of its old fear. And add
that restful and quiet atmosphere
- which means so much to those , in
bereavement.
Today, our complete institution is
located in the quiet, yet convenient
residence section. .
Althoagh this beautiful residential Insti
tution so distinctly a Finley ide is for
all, regardless of their means, we believe
it is consistent with our records to say
that no ont.can, or does, offer more for
any stated price.

SOCIETY PRESIDENT"
SAYS THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH JUNE ROSES
Cool Spell Would Hold Off Bloom
' Despite Fact That Season
h Two Weeks EafJyi
. . 1 i
"Plenty of roses for the Rose Festival
and the ros show." Is the prediction of
H. J. Blaesing, president of th Port
land Rosa society, in answer to the
pessimism of some of the rose growers
who fear that the forcing Influence of
the warm Weather will cause the best
f the prize Portland blooms to have
come and gone before Festival week.
"There is no doubt," said Mr. Blae
sing, "that the season Is two weeks
.head of time, and ft the rose show
could have been held the first week of
June Instead of the second it would
have caught the blooms at the best.
Usually "the early blooms are heavier
and larger. If a cool spell should come
and last for a week the roses through
out - the city would be in their prime,
but. as it is, there will be an abundance
of roses, fine ones, although some of the
most choice may be missing.
"The bushes of the city are in the
greatest health and vigor, and I know
of no year when there has been euch
Luxuriant foliage and such a profusion
of buds. Some of the more' tender tea
and hybrid roses show a trifling curling
of the leaves due to a frost early In
May. but this is gradually disappearing.
Aphis are not nearly so numerous as
last year, and If we can have a couple
of showers before the. Festival we will
have wonderful roses free from disease
and insects.
,?We will have at the show . in The
Auditorium the greatest riot of color of
perfect roses", which Portland and our:
visitors have ever- seen.
. "Every person in the city should study
the classification list for this year's;
show, for all. even to,the owners of a
single bush, can make entries. To an
swer all : questions I ant arranglnr for;
a large meeting of all rose lovers about:
10 days before the show.
.. f.do oot look with favor en the Ideal
of sending Portland, roses to Indian-:
spoils for the Shrlners convention. It
would be a fine thing if the weather
conditions were different, and if there
were; experienced hands to pick the
roses' just when the blooms were In
proper shape ; for carrying long dis
tances, but to ask the people of Port
land or the residents of any. other city
to. cut their flowers and send them such
a long distance i folly."
