The cost of Job composition to printers I CIS an hour three tlrr.es the cost paM the workman wu the statement made by F. I. Ellii a. of the Omaha Printing Company of Omaha, Neb.. In Ma address yesterday aftrmoon before the first session of the Paclle Coast 'r run-ess in the convention bail of the Commercial Club. Two hundred Job printers of the Pa cine Coast attended, and no larger or xnore representative assembly of type men was ever heid on the Coast before. Representatives were there from Salt Lake City. Utah; San Francisco. la An teles. Oukland. Taroma. Seattle, Fpo kane. Vancouver. B. C. and smaller towns. Organization of the association, which took place at the morning session, was prompted by the desire of Portland Job printers to have a more thorough dis cussion of the cost plan as devised by the National society a yesr ago. Chicago Lead Fallowed. For years l has been the theory of employing Job printers thst the busi ness was suffering from lack of cost principles. A year ago a convention was held In Chicago to consider the ques tlonw As a result the first American TTInters" Cost Congress was established. This led to a desire to organize a sim ilar congress on the Famine Coast. The distance te Chicago was regarded as toe far for the avrraa-e Job printer to at tend a ronrrr there. F. I. IJIirk devoted the .entire after noon to ezplanatton of the cost system as adopted by the American Congreaa. 'When It comes the first of your fiscal year. said Mr. KllUa. "I will venture that nine out of hi. pretty nearly 99 out of Iflo. who take the Inventory of unfin ished work, do the greatest gambling and gueestng thev ever did aay from a pok-r table. They walk up and they look over the corr. posing- stones, and they look at the racks, and they won der how much Is in the rhsses that was set op and Is part printed. They can tret a little better line on the press room, but not much, but on , the com position two men guessing on' the same thing are absolutely thousands of dol lars apart. Cost System "Demanded. t hope to see a day- shortly, and as we have started the activity I have no doubt you will, when every paper bouse and every ink house and evsry type house will Insist that before a line of credit is extended to a printer he must have a eoef system that shows something- Some of the leading bankers have promised ns their co-operation to the extent that if we will formulate the plan la such shape they will Insist be fore they discount a man's note liat be have a coat system. When the neces sity of getting your supplies requires a cost system, and when the necessity of getting your pay-roll requiK-s a cost system, the man who Is wavering wtil come over. It was Mr. F.tllck's opinion that the average employing printer engaged In commercial work loses money simply because he does not know what bis plant is costing blm to operate, lie suggested that the best way for the printer to be on the safe side is to take the cost an hour for workmen an average gained from the number of hours worked di vided into the sum paid on the pay-roll, ad he will have the wage cost an hour of his plant. Problem Worked Out. "Multiply this by three." said Mr. El lies', "and you will have the original cost of prod'H-tton. Multiply the number I 9 of hours by the cost an hoar obtained on the one-hour Job and you have the cost charge." Organization was perfected by the se lection of James A. Borden, of Spokane, for permanent chatrmam and of James D. Roantree. of fun Fxanalsro. aa sec retary. Committees were appointed oa resolutions and permanent orsnnixatton to perfect the plana and purposes of the socl-.-ty. .

' "With patriotic addresses and planting of roses the Peninsula Park, in North Alblaa. now partly in ths rough, was dedicated yesterday afternoon by the Peninsula Rose Association, assisted by Ralph W. Hoyt and Dr. Emmet Drake, of the Portland Rose Festival Associa tion; W. E. gherbrook. president of the Seattle Rose Association, and Mayor Simon and Superintendent Mische rep resenting; the city and the Park Board. J. Ii. Nolta. chairman of the committee or arrangements, was In charge, and ths roses were planted by 10 boys and girls In the four-acre tract reserved for roses. After prayer by Rev. R. K. Myers, pas tor of Patton Methodist' Episcopal Church, and a selection by the Peninsula Band, the roses were set in the ground by the children snd Mayor Simon made a brief address. The Mayor said it gave hlni great pleasure to take part with the people of the Peninsula in their an nual rose-planting-, and especially this year, as It meant the dodlcatlon of an other new park that was to be de veloped into one .of the beauty spots of Portland. "This Is a remarkable occasion." said Mayor Simon, in opening; his brief ad dress. "While the East is wrapped in the bitter cold of Winter, we of Port land, the Rose City, are privileged to plant these bushes tinder the glow of a warm sun and under most favorable auspices. It is a most appropriate thing to do, on this, the anniversary of the birth of the great Washlngton. We all love roses and I know that we are all the better for loving them, for they have a great part In making the world more beautiful and more pleas ant. Representing the City of Port land and its Park Board, I wish to thank you, the people of the Peninsula, for your generosity In donating these bushes and I assure you that we will take great rare to see that they are properly nourished and made to blos som In all their beauty." Seattle Sends Greeting. Mr. Sherbrook. president of the Se attle Rose Association, brought the greetings of . that association to Port land in a short address. He said he had taken home some of Portland's en thusiasm on his former visits to the city, and had organized a rose asso ciation In Seattle, whch, he said, has had a slow but sure growth. He did not hope to excel Portland In rose growing, but expected to produce roses that would in a measure rival those in Portland. Dr. Drake, speaking for the Rose Festlva' Association and the Portland Rose Society, recalled the great service of the Peninsula in past Rose Festi vals held In Portland, saying: that the Peninsula had furnished important fea tures at all of the festivals. He com mended the distribution of roses by tne Peninsula, and expressed the hope that the Penlnsuia people would continue to be patriotic to the Rose Festival. Dr, Drake also praised the patriotic fea tures of the exercises in commemora tion of Washington's birthday. W. J. Peddlcord, president of the Peninsula Rosa Association, spoke of tire significance of rose-planting as an offset to the commercial spirit of the age, and In commemoration of the name and deeds of Washington. H. G. Slbray, one of the prominent members of the Peninsula Association, commended the liberality of the Penin sula people. Rose Giving TTrged. "Now, my friends on the Peninsula, let us continue to do our part in future Rosa Festivals." said Mr. Slbray. "We have furnished carloads of roses In the past, and we have been criticised for giving them away, but, my fellow cltizsns of the Peninsula, in future let us be as prodigal of our roses as the rece-it Legislature was liberal with the taxpayers' cash." This closed the exercises and many remained to inspect the park and Im provements under way there. In the north half of the park, where the grounds have been improved, many children were taking advantage of the athletic apparatus. For the present the Park Board is enly improving the south half. INDIAN AGENT ATTACKED SileU OfHclal Complains That Ked Kicked Him in Back. Alleged lawless conduct of Indians on the Sllets Reservation will be submit ted to the Federal Grand Jury when it convenes next month. On file In the office of United States District Attor ney MaCourt is an affidavit, signed by Knott C. Egbert, Indian agent on the reservation, telling of an assault made upon him. One of the Indians dared htm to fight, he says, and when he declined kicked him In the back. Egbert also wrote Mr. McCourt asking if there is a Federal statute covering the breaking of Jail locks. Liquor Is said to be the chief cause of trouble. Mr. Egbert's affidavit, dated February 1, 1911, reads aa follows: Knott C. Egbert, first being duly sworn, on oath deposes and says that on January 81. 1U11. Fred Dick, an Indian of the Sllets reservation. Oregon, then being at the Sllets agency, did assault the Superintendent of said agency by daring him to fight, without the least provocation, and by taking hold of his coat and afterward viciously kicking the aald Knott C. Egbert In the back, .that Cary Lavli. Knott C. Egbert and others are material witnesses to the truth of these assertions; contrary to the peace and dig nity of the United States. I SELLWOOD TO PAVE ALL Property Owners Favor Project to Make Work Complete. Every street In Sellwood will be paved as a single district. If the plans of the Sellwood Commercial Club are carried out. At first it was proposed to pave al ternate streets through that suburb, be ginning with Leo avenue and running south, but It was decided that this would not be satisfactory. Property owners as sembled yesterday night in the club rooms and voted to undertake the Im provement of all the streets. The district will begin at Leo avenue and run south to the Golf Links and He between the Willamette Rlver-and East Nineteenth street. It will be 14 blocks long and will be 18 blocks wide at the widest point. There wl'l be between 19 and 15 miles of streets In Sellwood proper under this improvement, the cost averaging $35,000 a mile. Some of the streets In City View Park, an addition to Sellwood, will also be paved. The paving project is growing in popularity, and few oppose the movement-Paving of three miles of streets in Ice Boating calls for a cool Head, steady nerves and a willingness to endure the sting of the winter wind. . There is one thing worth re membering, however, and that is to avoid and guard against re action or exhaustion following outdoor winter exercise. Pabst ' BlueRiBbon ThfiBeoQuaSbr. i ia the ideal beverage for thi purpose. It stimulates and re freshes the tired muscles, and acts as a tonic for the whole body.
