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 -

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

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

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

and placed In his own quarters on

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.
