Children Work for Festival.

Portland-School children of Port
land have taken lively interest in the
Forthcoming rose festival, due largely
to the fact that they played such a
prominent part in the setting out of
rose trees on official "Rose Planting
day." which was celebrated on Wash
ington's birthday. This occasion
brought together boys and girls from
the schools in all parts of the city and
to them was distributed literature tell
ing all about the many attractive feat
ures of the celebration which will be
held here next June. Circular letters
are being written by the young folks
to their friends and relatives in other
parts of the country, and it is an ex-
ample which the management of the
festival feels may well be followed by
the school children throughout the
state. The Oregon Development league
has followed the festivals example in
this respect and reports that many of
the cities and towns of the state are
already taking up the campaign with
vigor and with promise of fine results.

MUST GUT DEFICIT.
Secretary Macveagh Suggests Me-
cessity of Stamp Tax.

ceSsIty OF Stamp ak.
Chicago, March 8.-Franklin Mac
Veagh, of Chicago, secretary of the
treasury, left yesterday for Washing
ton to enter upon his official duties as
successor to George B. Cortelyou, hav-
ing brought his local business career
to close by disposing of his extensive
interests in Franklin MacVeagh & Co.
to his son, Eames MacVeagh, and by
resigning from the directorate of the
Commercial National bank.
Recognizing the immensity of the
task before him in attempting to re-
duce the deficit which the government
is facing and at the same time meet
the increased expenses of the govern
ment growing daily, Mr.. MacVeagh
said:
Something must be done to meet
the deficit of the treasury. I suppose
many people will object to stamp act
in times of peace; just as others have
a rooted objection or prejudice against
bonds, but the government must have
money and plan must be devised for
getting it. This, | should say, is a
general administrative question as
much as it is question with the Sec
retary Of the treasury"

around to position in the rear of the
presiding officers desk. He was fol-
lowed by Chief Justice Fuller, who was
officiating for the fifth time at this
historic ceremony. Mr.. Taft took up
position facing the members of his
family grouped in the gallery.
The chief justice began the admins
tration of the oath in a low tone. Mr..
Taft repeated the words in slow,
distinct voice. When he at last had
kissed the Bible, there was an outburst
of applause, grasp of the hand by
the chief justice, and President Taft

Mr.. Taft won applause at the very
outset by announcing his adherence to
the Roosevelt policies and his inten-
tion to carry them out by means of
further legislation, which would also
have for its purpose the freeing from
alarm of those pursuing proper and
progressive business methods"
In spite of the bitter inclemency of
the weather and the slush piled noun
tain high in the cutters, crowd that
jammed Pennsylvania avenue from the
house line to beyond the curbs gathered
to see the inaugural parade. Nearly
everyone in the dense throng carried
an American flag of some sort, and as
the marching troops passed these were
waved in welcome and applause.
By dint of great effort regiment of
street cleaners got the center of the
avenue into shovelled into marching
condition by 2 o'clock, and their efforts
were cheered by the waiting crowds

marching columns that followed in
their wake.
At 2:47 p. m. President Taft and
Vice President Sherman left the White
House and took their place in the re-
viewing stand They were received
with a mighty cheer. The review of
the inaugural parade began at once.
More than 80, 200 marching men par
ticipated in the great military and
civic pageant, which constituted tie
principal spectacular feature of the
presidential inaugural ceremony. Ap-
proximately 25, 900 of these were
soldiers, sailors and marines of the
military establishments of the limited

REVOLUTION is DUE.
Interstate Commerce Commission May
Alter Rate System.

Interstate Commerce Commission May
Alter Rate System.
Chicago, March s.-Railroad men
are becoming alarmed over the tangle
in the transcontinental rate situation.
Recent developments seem to indicate
that the Interstate Commerce commits
sion has come to the conclusion that
the entire scheme of transcontinental
freight rates must be changed by the
railroads. Just how this is to be
brought about by the commission is not
known, but the decisions in the Mis-
souri, river and the Spokane rate cases
would seem to indicate that it is to be
contrary to existing principles and will
force the desired adjustment in the
transcontinental rate fabric.
The tangle is accentuated by quar-
rels between the rail carriers them
selves and between the rail-and-water
carriers. In the West the Hartman
steamship interests and the Spreckels
interests have locked horns in a des-
perate fight over coast-to-coast rates
by the way of Panama shores in steam
ers. This water competition has al
ways been assigned as the reason for
the peculiar adjustment of transconti-
mental rates. AS a consequence, the
rates from the Eastern seaboard to the
Western coast are just the same as
they are from Chicago and from the
Missouri river to the Pacific coast. In
other words, the New York manufac-
turer can ship his goods to the Pacific
coast as cheaply as can the merchant
from Chicago, Kansas City or st.
Louis.
Furthermore the Western lines have
been forced to accept an extremely low
division of the transcontinental rates.
If water competition has forced this
condition, then Mr.. Hartman is re-
sponsible, in way. Mr.. Hartman
owns the Morgan Steamship line, which
connects with his rail lines at the Gulf
ports, making a water and rail route
which is more inexpensive than the all
rail route, and which gives him long
haul from the Gulf to the Pacific coast.

No Dividends Till March 10.

La Grande-There will be no divi-
dends issued by the receivership of the
Farmers & Traders National bank until
March l9, at which time as per cent
dividend will be issued to depositors.
When Mr.. Niedner asked for blank GER
tificates he informed the receiver that
it would be possible to issue 40 PEI
cent dividend on March /, and as per
cent dividend on March 19, when addi-
tional assessments of shareholders will
be at the disposal of the receiver.
With this information as a basis to
work with, the comptroller decreed
that the receiver wait until March 10,
and issue the As per cent dividend.

WARNS AGAINST PEST.
State Board is Fighting Brown Tail
| Moth on Fruit and Shade Trees.

State Board is Fighting Brown Tail
Moth on Fruit and Shade Trees.
Portland-Oregon is face to face
with the danger of visit from one OF
the worst orchard pests known in the
shape of the brown-tail moth, pois-
onous little insect, which is said to be
coming into the country on trees ship
ped from France. The Oregon state
board of horticulture is making every
effort to exterminate the moth before
it has chance to spread and so far
seems to have the upper hand. How
ever, should batch of infected trees
been overlooked it may take thousands
of dollars to exterminate the pest.
Massachusetts spent SO, 900, 900 ayear
for nearly four years before the brown
tail moth was finally done away with
in that state, and it was thought that
the United States was thoroughly rid
of it. Inspectors in New York city,
however, discovered that the pests
were being shipped into the country on
fancy and stock trees from France and
other European countries, and that
several consignments for Oregon nur-
serymen were among them. The horti-
cultural board was Immediately noti-
fed by the New Workers and the in
spectors and nurserymen are working
together in an effort to kill them off
before they gain any foothold on Ore
gon trees. All young trees are being
burned if they are found to have any
of the nests of the moths on them, and
the wrappings destroyed also. Other
trees which may become contaminated
are being dipped in poisonous baths.
The brown tail moth is much like
common moths, but the fur from the
caterpillar gives rash very much the
same as poison ivy or oak if it touches
the skin. The pest thrives on shade or
fruit trees.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
NEW IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Plans Prepared for Big Undertaking
in UmatiIla County.


Plans Prepared for Big Undertaking
in UmatiIIa County,.
Pendleton-Plans have been made in
the west end Of Umatilla county for q
model town, to be called Stanfield. in
honor Of r. N. Stanfield, who owns
most of the townsite and considerable
property in that section. The project
involves $100,00 reservoir for the
Furnish Coe Irrigation scheme, which
will supply water at all seasons of the
year and an electric railway from Pen
dleton to Umatilla, leading through
the Furnish and Umatilla projects.
Work on the town and reservoir will
be started Immediately. The railway
will be installed in the near future by
promoters of the scheme.
With the exception of the govern
ment project it is the biggest PROPOSE
tion ever undertaken in this section.
The Inland Irrigation company of
Umatilla county is the name of the
concern backing the watering scheme.
The men at its head are w. J. Furnish
and DR.. H. w. Coe. Those interested
in the building of the new town are R.
N. Stanfield and DR.. Coe. A fire limit
will be established at the outset and
nothing but brick or concrete buildings
will be permitted. Several buildings
of this character have been proposed.
One will be modern hotel, to be erect
ed by the incorporators.
A sewer system will be installed and
a park is provided for. The site is
considered the logical location for
future city. 1t is situated in a very
fertile'part of the west end of the
county.
