M. i. r I rri ii I tirnl-lics I acts in-c-tTiilnit Former InstltiitWm of tlio Karly '90's. l3ff orts are to be made at the next meeting of the Realty Board to formally launch tho long-talked of Real Kstate Exchange. It Is proposed hy the sup porters of the plan to have the exchange In operation tin similar lines to the one that was in existence for about two years tn th early '. From 11 to lS"';i the exehane held Its sessions in a building owned hy Dr. Smith, next the First National Rank on Kirst street, and the principal reason for itsi abandonment was the doubling of the rent without previous notification. At tc time there were 2 members, with .latins Flower president and J. Carroll MeOaffery secretary. A hullettn board was maintained on which buyers and sellers posted descrip tions of realty wanted or to bV sold, the names of the members making the an nouncements bring tiled with the seere tary. If a member desired to open ne gotiations for any of the pieces posted he so indicated to thr secretary and a conference would be arranRed for. Iaily. at !1 o'clock, members would assemble at the exchange and examine the hulle tin, discuss business deals, and now and a Rain an auction sale of realty would be held Several deals were made through that process. The exchanRe was supported hy the pay turn t of per cent of commissions itf'.o thr treasury. It Is proposed to adopt a similar plan for the rejuvenated ex change and to adopt th same rate of commissions now existing In the Realty Hoard, namely, 5 per cent on deate of $Jf0 and under and Vt per cent above that amount. The courts have decided that fixing of these fommissions is lecal. The rules proposed for the exchange provide that to become a member the ap plicant must be a member of the Realty Board, thouch membership in the ex change is optional. Roth the president and secretary of the old exchange are dead, and M. G. Griffin, who furnished most of the data of the foregoing, is the only member of the Realty Foard who belonged to the former organization. Mr. Griffin is en thusiastically In favor of reviving the exchange and has worked out rules suit able for the running of the exchange under present conditions and changed character of the real estate market. Thr matter of the organization has been thrashed out several times at meet ings of the Realty Roard, and the of licerst say enough members are favorable to the plan to 'insure Its success from the start - J-.-rr.M,ir.

An admission by Mr. Cohn that he thought gambling should be legalized in Chinatown was the cause of a most exhaustive crosg-questioning. His purpose was to Induce the thousands of Chinese to return from Oakland, where they went after the earthquake of two years ago today, and thus to increase property values.

TAGGED WHEN TRIP STARTS Hn II road Employes Arross C ontinent See That Illiterate Travelers ;pt MphN, Hl2h( Trains and Con nection at i:nI of Journey. A new system of caring; for pna sengers who f.re unable - to care for themselves has hern put Into practice by a number of transcontinental rail roads selling; tickets out of Portland, particularly for foreigners who cannot speak English, who are en route back to their homes In Kurope and who are taken in charge from the moment they board the train and are taken to the proper hotel in New York anil put aboard their ship at the proper time for Its sailing, all, too, in spite of the fact that they can scarcely tell tfrre con ductor of their train or the clerk at their hotel whither they are bound. Every little while In the older days of railroading a frtory used to appear about a child traveling across the con tinent a'one. aided by the frlet.dly offices of train-crew and passengers, a label being pinned to the child's cloth ing telling; its destination. But this Is nothing compared w?th the system that has been developed for transporting illiterate foreigners. The Canadian Pacific, which operates trains direct from tidewater at Port land to the Atlantic Ocean, has put the plan In practice here. When such a foreigner appears at the office for a ticket to his home town in Russia. Italy, Hungary, Greece,. Germany or whatever corner of Europe he hails from, he usually brings an interpreter who can talk with the agent and in turn explain the rates to the traveler. But once aboard the train the foreigner loses the kindly services of the inter preter friend, and were It not for the h ;r..'.ih j t-H i"r-i-,i vf -Ay-Mi- aJr.f r -m - IE -nr ,..r TJ ' 1 .

These men with the labels are cared for all the wh y across the continent. The conductor watches to see that they do not get off at the wrong station and if It is necessary to change cars, the man with the red label Is taken hy the, arm and taken to the proper coach despite any protestations he may make. It Is use less to try to explain to him; he cannot understand anyway. L'pon arrival at th"' Atlantic sea board he Is taken In charge by a man who meets every train for the purpose, is taken to a hotel and given supper and put to bed. The next morning he Is awakened, a breakfast is set before him and when the time comes to go aboard his ship, he Is taken In hand and placed In his own quarters on board, where he finds his baggag j ready for him. It ia true there ar certain handicaps to this method of travel. One cannot order what he w Tints to eat. for the waiter cannot understand him. Tie has to take what Is provided, but this Is better than going hungry. He need not worry for he cannot go wrong. He cannot miss his train, for the vigilant agent a of the railroad company wil I not let him. He cannot miss his steamer either. He is guarded from danger at '11 stages of the journey and as h;s ship pulls away from the pier for the voyage to his fatherland, his guide, counselor and frind waves him hon voyage from the pier in a language he cannot understand. And the red label dds it all. Sewer Slide Delays Trains.
