Annual Addrsss Lwt Strut.
With two score delegates present
from n parts of the diocese, the twen-
ty-Mlith annual convention of the dlo
opse of Orexon of the Episcopal church
convened this morning In the Trinity
church parish house, following & prep
h ration meeting last night at St. Ste
phc-n's pro-cathedral, and a big meeting
of the women's auxiliaries yesterday
at Grace Memorial church. The con
vention will adjourn Thursday after
noon.
The auxiliary meeting was one of
the largest gatherings of Episcopal
women ever held in the state, more
than 200 delegates being in attendance.
The principal matter up before the
convention this morning was the ap
pointment of various committees. This
afternoon will be given over to re
ports.
At Kt. Stephen last night Bishop
Hcariding gave his annual address in
wliirh he told of the growth of the dio
ene the past year, suggested that un
married vicars should be paid $1200
per annum and married ones $1500 and
declared the time has come when en
dowments should be sought for the
support of the church institutions
which Include the Good Samaritan nos
pltal, St. Helen's hall and the Bishop
Scott academy.
Steady Growth Shown.
The diocese, he wald, has shown a
healthy and vigorous growth and the
promise of more efficient work is
bright. . The alumnae of St. Helen's
ball, he said, have started an endow
ment fund for the institution which
ought to he increased to $100,000.
He reviewed the work of the Eplsoo
pal Social Service league and com
mended the work, which, he said, re
futes the popular misconception that
the church does nothing for the "down
and out."
'A men's reading room has been
opened In the north end," he said, "and
Its usefulness has been demonstrated
The building generously donated -by
the Welnhard estate has now been rent
ed and some other place will have to
be sought, where the good work can
be continued."
This being the sixtieth anniversary
of the diocese, he spoke of the fact
and expressed the hope that the dio
cese may be moved to add materially
to the Blsliop Morris Jubilee fund,
which Is used for the extension of the
church in the dlosese. He also ap
pealed to the church at large to create
b pension fund for aged and Infirm
clergy and, in concluding, paid a high
compliment to the wives of vicars,
who aid their husbands in their work.
"No dollar value can be placed on
the good these cheery helpmates do,"
said the bishop. "And I believe $500
a year should be added to the salary
of every vtear who has a wife, Just
Rga thanksgiving offering."
Mrs. Soaddlng1 Presides.
At the conference of auxiliaries, Mrs.
Charles ScaddLng presided and the
meeting was opened by a sermon de
livered by Rev. R. S. Gill, of Salem, in
which he traced IJie history of mis
sions and described their Xiclency
and needs. It was , said his sermon
was one of the most eloquent pleas
for missions ever heard in Portland.

The successful operation of these
shops in Portland is the goal we
have aimed at from the start of this
business fifteen years ago.
This has been made possible by
the public support of our Mill-to-Man
policy.
It strengthens our old established
policy of better clothes for less by the
elimination of the middleman.
And at the start of this home in
dustry, the payroll distributed to our
skilled workers is on a basis of seventy-five
thousand dollars a year.
This payroll will grow larger, and
larger as more and more discriminating
men learn the value and economy of
these suits at fifteen dollars.
The fabrics are from Oregon-grown pure
wool woven into the nationally-known Oregon
Buckskin Cloths by Oregon Mills.
These are made in our own daylight
shops in Portland the first clothing factory estab
lished in the Northwest

The workmanship is by the highest type
of skilled tailors and all garments bear the label
of the Tailors' Industrial Union Local 74.
