Decided on Vancouver.
The Pacific Car Foundry Company
In locating a branch in the Northwest
had originally decided upon Vancouver
and a large subsidy had been subscribed
there hut owing to overtures having been
made by the Swift people the company
has acquired a site on the Peninsula.
In locating the plant the availability
cf fir timber was one of the main con
siderations. Fir ha become the stand
s') d In frelghtcar manufacture and the
Eastern manufacturer must ship his raw
material from the Pacific Coast. With
the exception of one small shop In Seat
tle there is no plant on the Coast that
now makes a business of car or locomo
tive repairs. Because of the availability
of timber It la estimated that a plant
In Portland can make freight cars at a
raving of from ISO to $.15 over a Chicago
plant. In addition the freight to the
Coast stands ngairyt the Middle Wt-st
manufacturer. For Instance, the estimate
of the cost of making a 4I-fo.t flat car in
Chicago is SSI 1.61. to which must be
added a minimum freight charge of S!0.
making the total cost delivered on the
Coast 1601.61. The cost of manufactur
ing the same car in Portland Is placed at
S4S6.77. making the total saving over
the F.astem cost. Jl 14.84.
It Is alo asserted that the demand
for the cars so far exceeds the supply
that the plants of the company will run
at canacltv. The company now has or
ders on file for Jinn.onO worthof cars,
the delivery of which is contingent upon
the completion of the Portland plant
about next March.

BIG TASK JS LESSENED
Mailing- Division of Main Postoffice
to Be Moved.
For another 11 daye will the Postoffice
In the Federal" building be the "whole
thing." Thereafter t will handle only in
coming mail, and In reality will be but
the distributing point for city mail and
administration headquarters. On Novem
ber 1 the mailing division of the Postof
fice will be in full force at Fifth and
Glisan street to handle all outgoing mail.
After tliat date letters to distant points
dropped In th main Postoffice will be de
layed to the extent of the time it takes, a
dray to cover the distance from the Fed
eral building to Station B. as the mailing
division will be called.
After November 1 no second-class mail
will be received at the main Postoffice at
all. notice to that effect having been sent
out yesterday to newspapers, publishing
firms and mercantile houses by Postmas
ter Young. At Station E all outgoing
maH will be stamped, canceled, bagged
and sent on its way. its proximity to the
depot being a time-saver, not only for
the Postoffice Department, bit for send
ers of outside letters, papers and pack
ago as well.
The mailing division occupies more than
half of the ground-floor space of the
building owned by Dr. A. C. Smith, com
pleted recently, at 124-126 Fifth street
North, near Glisan street. The Postoffice
Department, leasing the site for five years
before the structure's plaqn were com
plete, the portion occupied by the mailing
division was constructed especially for
the needs of such an establishment, and
the inconvenience of the cramped quar
ters In the main Postoffice will be a thing
of the past. .
C. H. Holloway, superintendent of the
mailing division, will be In charge of the
new Postoffice station, and a force of 40
men will work day and night there In
giving the outgoing mail quick dispatch.
While essentially the mailing division.
Station E will be a branch Postoffice, too.
There money orders may be obtained,
stamps purchased and registered letters
sent. It will offer all the conveniences of
the main Postoffice. with the exception of
the general delivery.
Postmaster Young expects considerable
difficulty will be encountered In educating
business houses In the new order of Port
land's postal affairs. The watchman at
the Federal building will no doubt be kept
busy In directing people laden with eireuv
lars to drop the bulky mail at Fifth and
Glisan streets If quicker dispatch is desired.
MADAME JOMELLI COMING
Great Soprjfno Will Sing In Portland
October 28.
The Jomelli-NIchols concert on Thurs
day. October 28, at the Bungalow, prom
ises to be a most brilliant opening event

new to the local musical public. Is very
great, and they are sure to be greeted
by a big and fashionable house. Jomelli
has an unusually beautiful voice of a
pure soprano quality, warm and full of
color, and skillfully trained.
Mme. Jomelli will have with her d
fine violinist In the person of Marie
Nichols, whose successes abroad, as well
as in this country, have been unusual.
Miss Nichols has been admirably
schooled and has a clean, unerring
technique and a mellow, liquid tone. The
accompanist for Mme. Jomelli and Miss
Nichols will be Magdalen Worden, who
Is quite well known as one of the rising
young composers. The concert will be
the first of the subscription concerts
given by Lois Steera-Wynn Coman for
tha season of 19U9-10.

James English Lutheran Church, Sixth
and Montgomery streets, reports great
growth in the ' membership of his con
gregation since the beginning of his pas

The Most
Superb Array of
Chickering Grands and
Uprights Ever Shown East or West
NEW STYLE V
NEW STYLE "K" (CHE RATON)
As a rule, purchasers of the highest-grade and most costly
pianos are compelled to make selections from a very limited num
ber of instruments. This has never obtained at our store and at
the present time a most exceptionally comprehensive display of
Chickerings is to be found.
No less than five carloads of these, the Nation's proudest
piano achievement, have been received at our wholesale and retail
departments during the past four days.
The fact that the Chickering is the most costly instrument in
the world does not deter us from offering Chickering buyers facili
ties for selection and intelligent comparison, such as not to be
equaled even at the extensive, time-honored and illustrious factory
warerooms on Tremont street, Boston.
In addition to this, the Eilers selling system, which reduces
prices, applies also to these Chickerings.
Here follows the reputation of the Chickering piano:
The reputation of the Chickering piano was not gained and is
not maintained by purchased influence. For evidences of Chicker
ing supremacy, it is not necessary for us to direct your attention
beyond the borders of our own city or state. Besides scores of the
proudest of Portland and Oregon mansions there are many hun
dreds of private homes whose owners have purchased Chickerings.
We point with pride to the fact that nearly every prominent educa
tional or other public institution, nearly every musical school in
this city and state, is using and has purchased Chickering upright
and grand pianos. The Chickering, by executive appointment,
was the official piano for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
The name of nearly every man or woman prominent in educa
tional, musical, social, political, judicial, or commercial life in the
Pacific Northwest appears on a list of purchasers of Chickering
pianos from Eilers Piano House, only place on the Pacific Coast
where the genuine Chickering, of Boston, can be purchased.
UNION HELPS IRK
Y. M. C. A. and Bricklayers
Join in Experiment.
STANDARD TO BE RAISED
Organized Iabor and Association
Agree to Co-operate in Instruct
ing Young Men Just Tak
ing Up Vocation.
The Portland branch of the Interna
tional Bricklayers' Union and the edu
cational department of the local Young
Men's Christian Association, after a
threatened breach In regard to a course
In bricklaying that Is being given by
the T. M. C. A., have reached a com
plete understanding and have arranged
for a novil experiment in conducting the
bricklaying class. The union has not only
withdrawn whatever of objection it had
to such a course being given but has
agreed to co-operate with the Associa
tion. When Jt was first proposed by tha T.
M. C. A. to add a course in bricklaying
to the curriculum Uiie year, some hostil
ity was expressed by the union, which
frared that a group of workmen would
be developed who would be opposed to
unionism. The union sent a committee
to remonstrate with General Secretary
Btone who explained the objects of the
course, showing so clearly that it was to
be conducted In friendliness to unionism
that an experiment was agreed on which
is outlined in a letter from Secretary
Stone to Secretary Clark of the union,
a portion of which is as follows:
Tour letter of October . notifying- me of
the acceptance of your union of the propo
sition I made to your committee In respect
to the conducting of our bricklaying class,
duly received and noted with much pleasure.
The proposition 1 made your oommlttee
was: That on condition that your union
turned over to our school eight pupils who
would pay half of the adrertleed fee for a
three-months' course In bricklaying, and the
annual membership fee In the association, we
would conduct the scnoo.I for three months
m an experiment and hope to have your
union appoint an advisory committee to as
sist us In the work of the school.
We explained to your committee that three
men had already registered and paid their
fees for the claes and we did not feel that
we could exclude them, as X understood yotir
committee granted that this should be d"ne.
but we did say taht we would consider the
school cloeed and accept no other students
unless they were acceptable to and recom
mended by your union at least until the
end of the three months which time we
both could consider as an experiment.
I am especially pleased and delighted chat
your committee thoroughly understood that
the purpose of the management of the as
sociation Is not to make scabs or lower the
wage scale or efficiency of the craft, but
juf.lt the opposite to put .brains and study
and Investigation Into the bricklaying work
so that the calling. If anything, be more re
spected and have more prestige and receive
larger remuneration.
Mr. Stone feels confident that at the
end of the three-month course In which
only pupils supplied by tha . union are
to be enrolled, the union .will give the
class Its hearty indorsement. Such has
been the case In other mechanical courses
taken up In the past and .many of the
Portland unions are amoiig the most
Joyal supporters of the Y. M. C. A. edu
cational department. Classes in plqmb-
lng, carpentering and other " lines have
been found by the unions to be beneficial
rather than detrimental to their interests.
The bricklaying class has a labo'ratory
with a 16-foot celling so that actual con
struction of brick walls can be done. A.
B. Davis, a brick contractor who is in
charge of this course, la collecting a
cabinet of the various kinds of bricks
and these will be subjected to many tests
as to strength and other qualities. A ref
erence library on bricklaying is also
being established, the intention of the
"Association being to increase as much as
possible the efficiency of beginners in
this vocation.
