13 MAKERS OF MELODY ARE ACCORDED FINE TRIBUTE Musicians of Flonzaley Quartet Aiming at Perfection in' Ensemble "Work Declared by Critics to Have Reached Goal. . I ! TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 12. 1914. Extra Am h If - 2? I 1 r fc.. .................. ... SUCH haunting beauty cf tone, such exquisite fairy effects in -nuance, such warm appeal of melody and piquant, laughing rhythm, such wealth cf tenderness, pathos, buoyant Joy and ethereal loveliness of music, have not been enjoyed by Portland muslc-lov-crs since the Klonzaley quartet vis ited thiB city, two years ago. At that time, under the . direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman, they made a com plete conquest of all who love true music in Its highest and noblest form. On Monday, April 27, at the HeiliK. they will be heard for a second time under the same management. This famous European quartet has such a lofty conception of art that the members refuse to play in orches tra, accept individual engagements, or tea'ch, devoting their entire time to perfecting themselves in ensemble work as a quartet. "If anyone wants to witness an ex- FLONZALEY QUARTET, WHICH WILL PLAY AT HEILIG APRIL -7. hibition of the spirit of music as man ifested where the muse really strays. writes Walter Anthony, of the San Francisco Call, "let him hear the Flon. zaley quartet. For close communion with the spiritual ' 'I of music these four music-lovers have traveled far and labored splendidly. They have reached their goal, too, as nearly as the merely human can. ' "They playing Is a revelation. They are a quartet wherein the finest" se crets of the orchestra are whispered. They are. indeed, the essence, the im palpable soul of the orchestra. The skeleton of music disappears and the flesh vanishes. There are no drums nor sounding brass; there remain only those four instruments which consti tute the central fact of an orchestra the violin, the second violin, viola and violoncello. With these they suggest everything that the orchestra can say and they whisper things too fine and rare for the idiom of any orchestra to articulate." M'MINNVILLE TRACKAGE DELAYED BY CONDITIONS Extension Postponed Owing to the Financial Situation Wells-Fargo Man, Here, Confident Express Companies Will Continue to Prosper. ALTHOUGH the Oregon Electric contemplates no Immediate con struction on account of the dif ficulty in financing the work, plans for the ultimate and perhaps, early ex tension of the projected line Into Mc Minnville still are entertained. It is understood that as soon as business conditions justify further rail road work the McMinnville branch will be built. When L. W. Hill, chief ex ecutive of the Great Northern, which with the Northern racific owns the Oresron Electric, was in Portland last week he informally discussed the pro posed McMinnville development but made no difinite plans for the future. The Oregon. Klectric retains its ter minal property in McMinnville and ex pects soon to be able to use it. Another branch to Springfield also is being con sidered. If railroad earnings improve within the next few years It is prob able that the Oregon Klectric will build various feeders in the Willamette Valley. A. Christensen. of San Francisco, vice-president and general manager of Wells-B'argo & Co. Express, visited Portland last week on his way home from a two months tour of the South west and the East. In spite of the heavy invasions of the parcel post service Into the express business, Mr. Christensen Is confident that the ex press companies will continue to prosper. He believes, however, that ! ihev will have to have more liberal contracts with the railroads. At pres ent the express companies pay an average- of 65 per cent of their gross re ceipts to the railroads. Mr. Christen sen was accompanied on his Portland visit by W. E. Carpenter, superintend ent at Seattle. E. K. Garrison, district freight and passenger agent for the St. Paul sys tem, has received late reports of the progress on construction work now being done by the tit. Paul In various parts of the -f , Middle West. All these projects will be completed by July 1, It Is predicted. The entire line from the Mississippi "River to Omaha has been rebuilt and double tracked. When this is finished tho St. Paul wilt have the shortest road between Chicago and Omaha,. The Ies Mollies River bridge, which is one of the longest and highest structures of its kind in the world, is the most notable feature of this work. It eost Jl.000.000. Most of the organization that built the Puget Sound extension has been used on this new work in Iowa. A. M. Cleland, general passenger agent of the Northern Pacific, Is ex pected to pay a, visit to Portland within the next few weeks. Mr. Cleland haul started for the Coast several times this Spring, but has been unable, on account of business, to complete hisl journey. Association, lectured to a group of Port land express and railroad officials, as well as shippers, at the Commercial Club Tuesday evening. He explained the Government requirements on ship ping or handling explosives by express and freight. He first impressed on his hearers the penalties for violation of this law. which provides a maximum fine of $-000 or. imprisonment from 18 months to 10 years. The -Federal law of March 4, 1309, classifies leather ce ment, rubber cement, lemon extracts, perfumery, metal polish, paint, varnish and other familiar commodities as com bustibles and therefore subject to reg ulation by the Government. Dorsey B. Smith, general agent for the Grand Trunk, advises -that the new line from Portland, Me., to Prince Ru pert. B. C, will be ready for operation about August 1. Concrete ties have' been declared a failure by the Chicago & Alton after several years', trial. They crack from frost and have not the required re siliency of wood. We never have had occasion to use such a head line in an advertisement before, but what we have to say to you here is extra special and we want you to read it. We have to offer to the wise buyers of Portland the biggest bargain in Real Estate that has ever been offered by us or any other real estate firm since we have been in business, so far as we know. Our proposition is this: Thirty-one quarter block sites (10,000 square feet each) in North Portland, with railroad tracks in rear of each site 60-foot street in front all level ready for any kind of building right in the path of Port land's business, warehouse, factory and terminal development. Price per site, $4000 terms, $400 cash, balance on small monthly payments. Under ordin ary conditions the property should sell readily at $10,000 per site, and we believe will within 24 months. Just think! $4000 for a quarter block in a city of .250,000 people, with all the things in its favor men tioned above, on the easiest kind of terms. Why, that's less than you can buy a like area in a good residence part of the city, much less business area. It's less than you can buy a like and similarly-located piece of property in any town of 25,000 inhabitants in the United States, saying nothing about a great growing city of 250,000 people. . NOW LISTEN! This property has only been on the market a short time not a single advertisement has been run on it this being the first and will be the last and over $250,000 worth of the property has been sold to over 25 manufacturing concerns and many of Portland's best investors the majority having been sold in the past 30 days. The idea, of this advertisement is to give our many friends a chance at it before it is all gone. We expect to sell every one of these sites this week. We can't get around to see you, nor can we afford to take enough space here to tell you all about it, but we do recommend this proposition to you under all circumstances, and if you want to make some easy money in the next few months on a small invest ment, either cut out, sign and mail the coupon below, or come to the office and get the details.

Mr. LaRoche says he believes the police pension act which was passed by the Legislature in February, 1913, is in conflict with the charter of Port land and is Invalid. He recommends that the Council Ignore the- state act until Its legality has been passed upon by the Supreme Court of the etate. The opinion in part reads: "Thla act Is In conflict with the pro visions of the charter of the City of Portland. While there Is a possibility that the Supreme Court may hold this act valid, still I am unwilling .to con cede that .the Legislature has any power by such act to interfere with the Internal local affairs or the city of Portland In matters that are purely municipal. My advice Is that until the Supreme Court has passed . upon this question, you proceed under the char ter of the city and ignore the state law. Under the charter provisions you are not authorized to draw a warrant in favor of a police officer for time during which he has been absent from his duties unless the Council has granted such officer a leave of absence covering such period, or has otherwise authorised the payment of the salary during such absence. mentK recording sales ftraomillnK to 1-000 and over were Died lafit 'eb : Simmons Investment (V. to H.
