C In the presence of Mayor Albee and H members ef the City Commission the City Engineer and the heads of every business 'organization in Porti land, the first car was assembled yes terday morning at the new Ford fac-r topy, Eleventh and Division streets, in just a shade over 40 minutes. Visitors were taken on a tour of inspection by r. a. rvorman, me manager, wno out lined in a few words the capacity and the policies of the factory, after speeches of welcome and congratula tion had been offered. A t 11 p clQClt all the guests were taken down" stairs. The enormous piles of material and parts prompted on all hands the question, "How much stock is kept here?" The answer was that there is over $1,200,000 worth of material stored On one side were tires, to the right lipdy casings, still further on the fend erg, the brakes and the thousand and one parts, all stacked up in surprising numbers. Eight Men Build Car. men eight workmen began to as semble the first car. That was at 11:11 o'clock. From a heap of rear axles the first pair was taken. A minute or co and there was the skeleton of chassis. Each workman strove to have nis work finished properly before the others, yet without hurrying oyer any particular pont. On an overhead pulley the engine and transmission was dropped to its exact position. Three men fixed it on, while one specialist attended te the wheels. Then with one motion the front end of the chassis was dropped, the rear end raised onto small rollers and the ear was rushed over to the elevator and so to the second floor. Here the steering- wheel, the gag tank, magneto, etc., were affixed and in an incredible space of time the car, minus, of course, its body and its hood, though otherwise complete, was started on the speoial testing machine and then run off. Fenders, hood, body, top and curtains then were attached and in less than 41 minutes the car was complete, J. C. (irilt Gets Flint Car. To J. C. Grant, of 604 East Twenty second street, goes the honor of own ing the first car assembled, and to W. L. Clapham the distinction of making the sale. Manager Norman outlined the possi bilities of the plant. The capacity is I!5 cars a day. At present the output will be )0 cars a day, or 3500 this year. What he earnestly hpped for, he said, was a reduction in freight rates so that more territory could be added to his jurisdiction. At present JS3 men are employed. The guests left much impressed. TALK COSTS COP HIS JOB Mayor Relieves Policemun Rabior of 6tar After Salary Confab. When Edward T. Rabior, a police man, appeared jn the office of Mayor Albee yesterday and began to criticise the Mayor and the administration for net having increased the salaries of patrolmen who have been in the de RSFtment for two years,' the Mayor re lieved Mr. Rabior of his star and forth? with dismissed him from the service. Rabior appeared (n the Mayor's of fice with the other policemen and de manded to know about the salary prop osition. The Mayor explained and then, it is said, Rabior became angry. Among other things he declared he was going 10 quit soon, .no sooner had he said that than his star was demanded by Mayor Albee and he walked out of the door without a job, GEORGE P.

HICH do you like better grapd opera or the lighter works-r was asked of little Emma Trentini, star of "The Firefly," yesterday. "That depends very greatly on how I am feeling on, what you call it? the temperament of the occasion. If I am feeling fine not tired with so many performances I enjoy my lively role in eomie opera. But I know my voice is est suited to grand opera, and there are some parts I would rather sing than do anything else in the world." Yes, I love grand opera," she con tinued, "especially the roles of Musetta La Boheme,' Nedda in TPagliacei the Doll in 'Les Centes d'Hoffman' and above all. Little Yniold in 'Pelleas et Helisande.' Any role that possesses color ap peals most to me. I enjoy vivacious parts, like Musetta, and in fact any-r thing in which I can inject a dash of personality, but singing eight times week is something to which it is rather difficult for the grand opera artiste to become accustomed.' When a wee littlo girl Mile. Trentini attracted attention in her native Italy. "When Emma sings, all the other children will sot attend to their stud les."' her teacher said to Trentini's mother. At . 16 years of age she began to sing small., parts in opera. Then for four years she sang all of the big parts in Italian opera. It was then Oscar Hammerstein. who was scoutin around in Italy, happened to hear her and signed a contract for her appear ance In America. She was then 20 years old, but she looked younger and wore her hair in big braids down her back. POSE LODGE IN DUE DIHECTORrGEXEKAb PAVIS WILL BE FETED I V PORTLAND.

Mossesaonn and John H. Harvard. have taken it fop granted that tha one referred to crossing a field of rye. But tha authentic version, however, shows that it 'refers to the fording of the auver Hyo, where certain stepping stones allowed the barefooted Hig-hianu lassies to cross none the worse for the shallow water that swirled about their pretty ankles. It may well be imagined that Burns and his convivial cronies were not averse to "happening- along" when cer tain of the local beauties came "Thro" the Rye" on their way to kirk or fair.
