THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, ' TORTX.AND, ' XOTE3IBEK 16, 1919. 17 STREET-CAR FARES LIKELY TO ADVANCE 'Company Head Says Wage Rise Wipes Out Earnings.' INVESTIGATION NOW ON Hearing Before Public Service Com mission Awaits Ending of Telephone Case. Increase of fares on the street rail way lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company appears to be the probable outcome of the appli cation of the company pending be fore the public service commission, as a result of the award of increased pay for platform men and classified em ployes by the board of arbitration de cision announced yesterday. The hoard found that an increase in the wage rate of 1 cent per hour for the platform men, with corresponding in crease required for other employes, amounts to between J48.000 and S50, 000 per year. Hence the increase of 6 cents per hour directed by the award will require the additional pay ment by the company of approxi mately $300,000 annually, retroactive to October 1. Date for the final hearing: has not yet been set by the commission and it is probable that it will be deferred until the middle of December, and possibly longer. The commission is plvingr its entire attention to the tele phone rate case at present, the deci sion on which must be rendered dur ing the present month, under the law. Investigation TTnder Way. Engineers representing the commis sion have been engaged for more than a month in making investigations and preparing data on the street railway case, but have not yet completed their findings. Definite date for the hear ing will not be set until this work is finished. Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, stated yesterday that under this award at the present rate of fares there will be practically no- re turn to the company. Under the new wage schedule the operating cost would practically consume all of the earnings, leaving nothing for pay ment of interest on bonds, sinking fund or for a return to the stock holders. Testimony adduced before the board of arbitration revealed that under the previous wage rate fixed by the war labor board the street railway earnings of the company amount to less than 3 per cent on the actual value of the physical property in the street railway department. This val uation was found by the public serv ice commission to be $18,568,000. It was also shown that after pay ing cost of operation the earnings NOTED VIOLIN SOLOIST OBTAINED FOR PORTLAND CON CERT WILL BE HEARD IN FIFTY-EIGHT AMERI CAN CITIES THIS SEASON. Ml 0 1 Ml': JLUliHi M-ALWX., MHU MILL, WITH SlMrHOM. ORCHESTRA NOVEMBKR 2a. Albert Spalding, violinist, will be soloist with the Portland Sym phony Orchestra Wednesday evening, November 26, when a concert will be given at the Heilig theater. That Albert Spalding is regarded as being in the front rank of the world's violinists is evidenced by the fact that he will be heard in 58 cities this season. Among the orchestras with which he will appear as soloist are the New York Philharmonic, New York Sym phony, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, St. Louis Sympouy and the-Cincinnati Symphony. Mr. Spalding was born in Chicago in 1888. His first violin lessons were under the guidance of Professor Chiti. a Florentine master. When he was 18 he -made his first public appearance in Parts with Adelina Patti. His American debut waa made in Carnegie Hall. New York, on October 11, 1911. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Spalding was making plans for a igreat tour of America. He enlisted with the first 60,000 troops who went to France. He was decorated by the Italian government, for distinguished services, with the cross of the crown of Italy, which is the highest distinction that can be conferred upon a foreign citizen. Mr. Spalding will play the Mendelssohn concerto with the orchestra. PLAY CONTEST PLANNED DRAMA LKAGUE EXCOCRAGES AMBITIOUS WRITERS. MRS. CQGBURU HAS 15 a.r insufficient to meet the Interest on outstanding bonds apportioned to that department. In this connection the board said in its findings: "It seems clear that a large meas- 1 ure of co-operation must be invoked between the company, the public and the various administrative agencies of the state and municipal govern ment to work out some solution of the problem presented by existing conditions and their accentuation by the wage increase directed." The application filed with- the pub lic service commission by the com pany, following the wage increase granted by the war labor board in August, 1919, for permission to in crease fares to an amount adequate to give a reasonable return to the stockholders, does not ask for au thority to put into effect a certain fare, but applies ' to the regulative body to decide what the rate shall be. It was immediately following the award of the war labor board that the employes demanded a further in crease, the consideration of which and refusal to grant the request by the company resulted in the submis sion of the question to arbitration.

Houghton Woman Says It Was Lucky Day When She Be gan Taking; Tanlac. "Since I began taking Taalao I feel like a new person and have gained fifteen pounds In weight," said Mrs. K. Isabella Cogburn, a resident of Houghton. Wash., while in Bartell's Drug Store In Seattle, Wash., recent ly, where she had gone to get an other bottle. Continuing, she said: "For years I had a severe stomach trouble. Nothing I ate would digest, and after each meal the pains I would have were something terrible. I was also bothered with' gas and would bloat awful bad. I suffered from shortness of breath and had the head ache nearly all the time and would become so dizzy at times I would nearly fall. I had rheumatism in my shoulder, -too, which pained my a great deal, and my kidneys also trou bled me considerably. I finally be came so weak I could hardly do my housework. "I tried many medicines for my troubles, but none of them did me any good. At last a friend advised me to try Tanlac. Well. I did. and It proved to be exaatly the medicine I needed. It helped me right from the beginning and I kept improving right along. I am not bothered with gas or shortness of breath, and I never have those headaches or- dizzy spells any more. The rheumatism Is a great deal better and is- gradually leaving me. and my kidneys are in good con dition once more. I have regained my strength so I can' do my house work with the greatest ease, and my general health is just splendid. I can't say too much for Tanlac and it certainly waa a lucky day for me when I began taking it." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug company.

One Thousand, Four and Seven (1,407) Ured The First Duty of a drug store is to be a drug stores a place where can be found all known remedies o merit whether the demand be active or meager. To live up to this obligation, the average Owl Drug Store carries something like 1,407 Patent Medi cines. This explains why you so frequently hear the remark "You can get it at The Owl".. These preparations are bought direct from the manufacturer and, as a rule, are sold for less than the manufacturer's marked retail .price. You can always depend, upon your favorite Owl Drug Store to have the remedy you need at the lowest possible price. - For Colds ProL Austin Says: " do not use an ordinary) microscope. I use one of the most powerful optical machines knotvn to science. There is no microbe so small,that its presence cannot be delected. Once the causels nonn, the relief is a matter of course. . "But jjou must be fair ivith me, "with Nature and ivith jjour- . self. You must riot "wait until you are entirely bald. That means that the parasites have done their tvork- There is nothing left, for me or for Nature to xeor on. The hair roots are dead. It is rvhen the hair begins to fall that you should seek help. "The use of mange cures, dandruff cures, hair tonics. Vaseline and elixirs is like taking medicine without knowing what you are trying to cure. 0 "Let me find, classify and destroy the bacteria before they destroy the hair roots. Nature will fight long and well, and if given help at the right time will replace the lost hair with new, stronger, thicker and more beautiful hair. I have been successful in many cases of patchy baldness where the papillae, or hair roots, were still alive." lilil " .
