CELEBRATED THURSDAY NIGHT
May Erect Drinking Fountain.
The Coffee Club.
In celebration of the 25th an
niversary of the organization
the ladies of the Coffee Club gave
a. par-ty at the city hall, Thurs
day evening, which was largely
attended and a social success in
every way.
The room was profusely deco
rated with Scotch bloom, roses
and greenery, and music was
furnished by Woodcock's orches
tra. Cards furnished entertain
ment and tempting refreshments
were, served.
The club has the distinction
of being the oldest organization
of the sort in the state. It was
organized May 28, 1883, with
nine charter members. The first
officers were: Mrs. L. F. Wilson,
president; Mrs. F. A. Helm, vice
president, Mrs. Rose Jacobs-Sell
ing, secretary, Mrs. L. H. Addi
ton, treasurer.
The original purpose of the
club was to provide refreshment
for the volunteer firemen in time
of need and thus render their
work in fighting the flames less
irksome. Often, at the sound of
the fire alarm, the ladies have
turned out in the dead of night,
gone to the hall, built a fire and
had he t coffee ready to serve to
the tired, cold firemen when the
latter had finished their work of
saving property from the flames.
The club is now the leading
social organization of the city
with a membership of 160 and a
fine library of 350 books. The
ladies are now contemplating
the purchase of . a handsome
drinking fountain, to be erected
in commemoration of their 25th
anniversary, an idea that is cer
tainly to be commended.

I"n the closing paragraph of
an excellent article on Portland,
"The Queen City of the West,"
Rev. John Roach Stratton, D.
D., uses the following beautiful
language in expressing his ideas
in regard to Portland's future:
"The Pacific Ocean is the sea
of the future, and this Western
land is destined to undisputed
supremacy. Still 'westward
does the star of empire take its
way.' ' .'
"Yonder lies Seattle. She will
be a great ' city, because she is
the gateway to Alaska. There to
the south is Tacoma, destined to
a good development, though her
lumber is her chief reliance.
But yonder, farther still to the
south, beyond the gleaming
glory of Mount Hood, lies Port
land, with her combined advant
ages of location, climate and soil,
and she is destined to be the
leader of them all the crowned
queen of the great Northwest!
"Within a few generations she
will have a population of 1,000,
000 souls. She will be, indeed,
"The New York of the Pacific."
Her great trunk lines will pour
into her lap the boundless treas
ures of her matchless territory;
white-winged ships and throb
bing steamers will bear her
bounties out to every part of the
earth ; intellectual growth and
spiritual progress will go hand
in hand with her material de
velopment, and through all her
happy children will laugh and
labor and love and die among
their roses."
Rose Carnival Opens.
Portland, Or., June 1, 1908.
The Portland Rose Festival has
opened with all Portland in a
holiday humor, flower-wreathed
windows and roses in evidence
everywhere. Thousands of vis
itors from outside points are in
the city, and incoming crowds
are greeted by an immense arch
ot welcome erected at the ap
proach to the Union Station.
The Mosquito Fleet lies atan
chor in the harbor, an excursion
of over a hundred people, under
the auspices of the Sacramento
Valley Development League, ar
rived this morning from the
South. Washington is sending
generous delegations and an ex
cursion is expected from Lewis
ton, Idaho, tomorrow morning.
The whole Northwest feels
that in addition to the innumer
able purely attractive features of
the celebration, the event is a
marvelous advertisement of the
climatic conditions, for no where
else in the world can flowers be
found more beautiful than the
roses of the North Pacific Coast.
The grand parades will excel
anything ever seen on the coast,
and besides-all the leading towns
of Oregon, Washington will be
represented in the floats and
decorated vehicles.
Jared Fuller died at the home
of his son, George W. Fuller, in
this city at 3 o'clock Friday af
