LETTERS ARE ENCOURAGING Tell .How Fame tf Portland Is spread ThrotiRh East by June Show and Think Object Is Worthy of Their Support. As evidence of their appreciation of the value of the advertising powers of the Portland Rose Festival idea, the two leading department stores of this cltv, the Meier & Frank Company and Olds. Wortman & King, have each doubled their subscriptions to the gen eral fund over that of a year ago. Last vear Meier & Frank gave "00 and Olds, Wortman & King pledged $40Q. This year the former house has sent In its check for' $1000 and the latter establishment will give $Si0. making a total of I1S00 to the fund from the two houses. The subscriptions were made vonm tarilv. but when the matter was orig InallV brought to their attention, they decided that they would make no promises until after the Presidential election. The department store man agers held a meeting to discuss the appropriations which they would make last Wednesday, and after another con ference, held at noon yesterday, it was decided by the two big firms that they could well afford to multiply their do nation by 100 per cent. The heads of the houses not only sent In their sub scriptions, hut enclosed very flattering letters commendatory of the Festival scheme. The following communication was received from the Meier &' Frank Company with its gift of $1000; Ralph W. Hnvt. rrldrnt Port I And Rom FVntUal lear Sir: Th Mier A Frank Com pany takea pismire in doubling Its former contribution to the Rote Festival fund. In ched plee find our subscription fr $1100. The Ritif Festival ha advertised Port land favorably th world over, and has done a irreat deal to upbuild the "Rose t'i'v and to Increase Its population. Not Ion since when a member of this Arm was in New York, and other prominent Kamfrn cities, reporters of the metropol itan newspapers sought Interviews with htm and printed l-nthr articles about the won tiers of iu'uy and the Ort-pon country. The reporter were familiar with the news of our annual fleets and abundance of flowers. Thy readily understood climatic conditions that can produv beautiful roses on the lawn ami in th parti en every month of the year. It was a consensus of their opinion that Orepon Is an ideal place in which to live, and that Portland la cer tainly an attractive plaoe. It was a very areaf surprise to know that nearly every one with whom the member f our firm conversed was well-informed n the subject of Portland's profusion of flowers and its annual week of festival. The Jrtrt words sent out by the Associated Press on "Hse Ptantinp da v." February ?2. at tracted almost universal attention, and had that publicity been paid for at current rates It would haw? cost not less than JSno.OAO. The Meier A Frank Company, therefore, contributes cheerfullv to the cause that has so much of beautiful sentiment, prosperity ami happiness, that has resulted In making Portland as far-f;rred for Its wealth of rvse and rlimato as Tokio Is noted for Its eherrr bloexm papeants and New Orleans itm Mardi Grai. With best wishes for a prand and suc cessful celebration next June, we pledpe to do ewrythin in our power to con summate the promised dream of splendor. Yours earnestly. Olds. Wortmnn A King wrote as fol lows: MEIER FRANK COMPANY. By J tfc Me er. Mpr Ka1h W Hoyt. President Portland Rose FentUwl Association lvr Sir: In hand in p you herewith our contrart for double our ubscriptJon. it Is done wiiTi a feelinp that It Is one nf the best In vest men ts we can make. lookinr at it purely In a selfish way. as our business was more than doubled dur Inp the last festival week. But. takinp a morv comprehensive and patriotic lsr of the matter, we are led to plve financial ard moral support to the Festival Association, feelinp that In dninp o we are contributinc to the upbulldinp and general welfare of both the city and state: for It seems to us certain that at tention to our wonderful rsourca and matchless climate cannot be drawn to the attention of Kastern people In a more force-f-il. and at the same tune a more apreeable way. than Throuph th' medium of our an nual display of matchk?e roses. Tt Is some thin that appeals at onre to the esrhetlc lasta of alt classes, and hmvln visited our annual rose display, once a favorable im pression is made that will last forever. Very respectfully yom-s. OLDS. WORTMAN & KINO. Per H. C. Wortman. With this start on the part of the leading retail houses of the city the management of the Festival feels that it will be able to arouse interest in kindred lines to the extent of secur ing not under $75,000 for the general fund. Voluntary solicitors have been work ing quietly among the merchants and other business interests for the past two weeks, and they have been able to secure actual subscriptions and promises which aggregate $20,000 as a nucleus for the fund. With this much in sight the special soliciting committees will begin work in earnest tomorrow and will continue rounding up the subscriptions until the total amount specified shall have been acquired. The words of James J.' Hill at the Xorth Bank banquet, in which he com mented on the fact that no other city in the country could boast of so many rose gardens in full bloom at this time of year, together with the laud atory speech of President Howard El liott, of the Northern Pacific, In which he said that nowhere In all his trav els had he witnessed such a floral dis play and street pageantry as was given last June, had a most powerful influ ence on the business men who were gathered at the big celebration. ; It is expected that this will mate rially assist in reaching the fund re quired at an early date. Every effort will be made through all possible agencies of publicity to secure an attendance of 200.000 out-of-town visitors during the Festival of next year. NEW OFFICERS ARE NAMED Judge Munly President of North Albina Improvement Association. At the annual meeting of the North Albina Improvement Association Fri day night, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi dent, M. G. Munly: Vice-President, W. C. North; Secretary, L. E. Sauvle; Treasurer, R. E. I Simmons; members of Executive Committee. W. A. Cad well. J. F. Sinnott, E. A. McGrath. L. T. Peery and H. A. Heppner. Judge Munly, who was not present. was elected unanimously, as were all the other officers. It was the sentiment of the entire membership that he was " - : w v - j Hi 1 I s - - , - t - . y t 1 v 1 i t i it jv ' v ' I " 1 i , ' Judge M. G. Munly. 4 T entitled to nil the honors the club could confer, and a standing vote of thanks was given him. Purinaf the year the main achieve ment of the oriraniia tion has been in the promotion of the bridpe project for N6rth Portland, and the progress made in that movement has been due to the efforts of the North Kast Side Im provement Association and to Presi dent Munly in particular. There is still much more to he accomplished before the bridge will be built, and the present bridge committee will con tinue lis work. During the coming year the club will take up t.ho question of parks and improvement of street car service. The North East Side Im provement Association has the. same relations to tHe district north of Sul livan's Gulch that the United East Side Push Clubs has In the section southward. TAFT CAUSES DEAL Important Sale of Seventh Street Half-Block.' ELECTION RESULT FIGURES From nn day's observation at flv points of irroatM vehicle congestion on Manhattan Inland it was learned l h at there are rt-i horcf -rtra r. and 57 power-driven vehicle In eacb 100. Option Taken by Prominent Demo crat Some Weeks Ago Is Con summated AVIien Continued Prosperity Assured Country. . Another big deal in the northern end of the city was closed yesterday, though an optional sale was made some weeks ago. The half block, 30x3)0, on the west side of Seventh street, between Glisan and Hoyt streets, was secured by W. G. McPherson and associates through the agency of Jackson & Deering, and the deed names $75,000 as the consideration. - Tiie ground is vacant, but it is un derstood the new owners will erect a building to suit a desirable tenant, either of brick or reinforced concrete. The Hoyt street end of the lot is probably the more valuable, but at all events Mr. McPher son was offered $40,000 for that portion of the property as soon as it became known that he and his associates had an option on the piece. Considering valuations placed ' on simi larly located properties in the vicinity, tlrn price at which this sale was made is considered somewhat of a bargain, despite the fact that the three former owners of the half block made quite a handsome profit In their holdings. Some of Mr. Mcpherson's personal friends are having a bit of fun at his ex pense since the deal was closed up. ac cusing him of holding off until satisfied that Bryan had no chance of election. He takes the chaffing good-naturedly, but insists that, being a good Democrat, he voted his party ticket at the recent elec tion. He appears to be well satisfied to have the deal come through, for he shouldered his gun yesterday and started out on a hunting expedition. Whatever may be the opinion of Mr. McPherson on the subject, the fact re mains that an option was taken on the deal some weeks ago and was promptly closed when the result of the election be came known. There is little doubt that a tenant will soon come forward and make a proposition to lease a modern warehouse building or similar structure, in which event another important building will be added to that district of the city. SPEAKS TODAY AT Y. M. C. A. II. Leslie Broadbridge,' Authority on Salesmanship, to Give Address. H. Leslie Broadbridge, of Boston, Mass., who has gained a reputation as an au thority on salesmanship, will speak at the Y. M. C A. men's meeting Sunday after noon. He spoke to a gathering of promi nent business men of Portland last week, and was Induced to remain in Portland until after today's meeting. Mr. Broadbridge has devoted years of study to the business of salesmanship. It is his contention that the average man uses hut 35 per cent of his power, and that this is accountable for the fail ure made by many salesmen. He be lieves that when men recognize that they have such qualities as initiative, imagina tion, memory and good judgment and the value of these to their employers, they will begin to cultivate their latent powers and thus be in a position to dispose of their Mhility at a higher price. It is his contention that, regardless of the cry of hard times, there never was such a de mand by the larger concerns of the coun try for men of ability. The quality, he says, will determine the price. TO DEBATE SHIP SUBSIDY Oregon Collegiate League Will Re new Contests on Rostrum. ALBANX Or.. Nov. 7. (Special.)

JNow, it tney an ciaira to have the best range it must he that some one is right and all the rest are wrong. How can you tellt Just try this TEST: Go into any store where there are ranges for sale, tell the dealer you have one of his make which you have used for several years. Say you wish to dispose of it, and ask him what he will give you for it. His answer will indicate at once what he thinks ranire will be worth after use. Try this test at our store. It will prove to you at least that we are willing to back up our goods with our money. The answer at our store is: If you have a Monarch Malleable Kange we will give you thirty dollars for it. . THE KEASON WHY we will give $30 is that a Monarch is worth more than that, no matter how long you have used it. Other dealers cannot do this because their ranges are not worth so much after they have been used.
