There will be a great deal of mu eic this year and a few theatrical attractions. Theatricals, however; are uncertain because of railroad conditions. . It is considered certain that the Chicago Grand Opera company, which played in Portland last sea son, will not come this year and It is doubtful if the San Carlo Grand Onera company will come. The San Carlo management met with re verses on the coast last season, due probably to the coming of the Chi cago company, and the company probably will confine its activities to the east this season, rnis win leave Portland with no grand opera during the year unless some other company comes. ' Season Late in Starting. The auditorium's season is late in starting thia year because of the Episcopal convention. The season will open on Friday, September 29, with the old testament of the Bible in motion pictures. This is a nine reel special production of the non theatrical type and will be pre sented with an elaborate musical programme for one week, with one performance each afternoon and one each evening. The film starts with the creation of the world and fol lows the Bible stories through show- ing the creation, Adam and Eve, Noah's ark, Cain and Abel, the del uge and other stories of the Bible. Portland will be the first city to see the entire production. The annual season of Sunday af ternoon concerts are being arranged to start Sunday, November 5, and will be given each Sunday afternoon until April, featuring bands, orches tras, singing societies, soloists,- etc It is planned this season to bring two or three prominent organists here from other cities. Amateurs Stake Plans. The amateur theatrical and sing ing organizations are planning their usual season. The Portland Opera association, due to successes in past seasons, is preparing a two nights' engagement, November 17 and 18, and will enlarge this year on its performances. The Elwyn Concert bureau will Kve a course of .seven numbers during the sea son. The list includes' the follow ing artists and attractions: Madame Matzenauer. Evelyn Scotney, Miro vitch, Mozart's opera comiquejv"Cosl fa tutte," Mischa Elman, Florence Easton, Paul Althouse and Salvi. This agency also Is arranging for other numbers during the season. The Apollo club will present its usual season of three concerts and will have a special soloist at each concert. One of the big attractions will be the Ukrainian National chorus, an organization of 40 voices, with sev eral operatic stars from Ukrainia. This organization, which has been the sensation of New -York for sev eral months, will be brought here by Max Rabinoff, noted director. This will be Mr. Rabinoff's first ap pearance here in about ten years. His last trip was with a large sym phony orchestra. In addition to the regular musical j numbers will be a number of world stars. Among those who will ap pear in concert are ftladame Gadski, Rosa Raisa and Giacono Rimini of the Chicago' Grand Opera company, and Titi Ruffo, baritone. HSUS" Sfr'zjrr L&3Tf;& JEWS OBSERVE HOLIDAY ANNIVERSARY OF AVORLD'S CREATION HONORED. Synagogues Hold Special Services ; Orthodox to Have Two-Day Celebration. 'New Tear's day, the year 5683, the anniversary of the creation of the world, was observed by Jews of Portland yesterday in the celebra tion of Rosh Hashanah, a sacred holiday. From sundown Friday evening until the same time last night, all the sons of Israel set aside their worldly cares and gave observance to what is said by them to be a time sacred for commemorating the birth of humanity. Like the secular New Tear's day, Rosh Hashanah Is a time for the strengthening of old resolutions and the determination of new ones, particularly religious vows for spiritual guidance and harmony with God. All synagogues of Portland con ducted special services for the occasion both Friday evening an& Saturday morning. The Temple Beth Israel also has services this morning for the benefit of . the young people and children. The orthodox Jewsv not content with passing off the coming of a new year with 24 hours of holiday, insist upon Sunday also being ob served as a day equal in importance to the first day. Services are to be held in the four orthodox syna gogues this morning. When a week has elapsed from the time of this celebration, the Jews will observe what is known as the holiest day of the synagogue, the day of atonement. Tom Kippur j Is the time for a 24-hour fast among the Jews, and will fall on Sunday, October 1.

Submarine cabling is not in danger of being superseded by wireless transmis sion, if one may Judge from the ac- tivities of cable companies since the armistice. One European company has laid more than 23,000 miles of ocean cable in the past three years, and it is believed that American companies have done as much in other parts of the sea. Today the world Is encircled by 225,000 miles of electrified ropes that carry messages from man to man. Fifty years ago there were only 8000 nautical miles of cable. On the modern routes duplicate triplicate, and even sextupllcate cables are provided, and the entire system is linked up by alternative and circuitous lines, o that it inter ruption occurs on one artery an other may be quickly pressed into use. Vast Network Covers Globe. Land lines that link these ocean cables into one vast network con stitute the nervous system of the civilized world. There is hardly any spot on the habitable globe which cannot speedily he reached by a message over this great arterial system. With the amazing develonment and1 perfection of wireless as means of disseminating the world's thought. It was believed at one time that the submarine cable soon would 1 become obsolete; but the fact is that the business of the ocean telegraph companies has increased by leaps and bounds until today there are scarcely sufficient cables to carry the enormous volume of messages daily sent across the five oceans and under the seven seas. It is ap parent there is ample room for both forms of telegraphy. Development Reads Like Romance. The development of the submarine cable reads almost like a romance. As in so many of the world's other modern miracles and inventions it was an American Cyrus W. Field who was the pioneer in the Industry In 1858 he laid the first cable be tween Newfoundland and Ireland This line was 2500 miles long and the wire weighed one ton to the mile. The project was characterized at the time as ''the boldest feat of electrical engineering work ever at tempted." The cable tolls then were $100 for 20 words of five letters each and $5 for every five letters extra. Today the fate for 20 words is less ' than $5.

The Willamina plant of the Yamhill Electric company has been improved with the installation of a new flume and dynamo, heretofore the Willamina plant has been a dead loss during the summer months, as it was not equipped to furnish power during low water. This change will cause the plant to be used winter and summer. The towns of Sheridan, Amity, Ballston, New berg, Lafayette, Carlton, Yamhill, Dayton and Dundee, as well as Wil lamina, are supplied with power and light by the Yamhill Electric com pany, and Willamina will now be one ot the sources of power. HEN the third conduit from the Bull Run reserve is com pleted, and it is planned to begin construction on this project next year, enough water can be sent to Portland through this and the two existing lines to care for the needs of 1,000,000 people. And, should the population of Portland and . its environs increase to such an extent that this amount of water each day will not be suffl cient, it will be possible to make additional development in the vast reserve so that at least 500,000,000 gallons of water can be sent to Portland each day. This amount would care for about 3,500,000 peo pie. This is what city officials learned on a recent inspection trip In the beautiful Bull Run reserve, a tract of timbered land comprising 222 square miles. Seepage Is Prevented. Twenty per cent of the water that Is used by Portland residents comes from Bull Run lake, which nestles in the shadow of Mount Hood, about 50 miles east of the city. The re mainder of the water comes from many litle streams that empty into Bull Run river as it courses from the lake to the Bull Run headworks where the Portland pipe lines be gin. The initial storage project is now being completed at Bull Run lake. The permanent dam of timber-crib construction, with rock fills, was completed in 1919, and since that time an impounding dam has been completed. This dam is at the north end of the lake and aids ma terially in preventing the loss of water through seepage. Bull Run lake covers 500 acres. Many Portland people are under the impression that Bull Run water Is furnished from glaciers on the side of Mount Hood. This is not true, for the-lake is separated from the west slope of Mount Hood by a high range of hills. , Through the development of stor age facilities by the water, bureau f at the lake during the last few years it is now estimated that there are 3,285,000,000 gallons of water In the lake and, if necessary,- a 50,000,000 gallon flow can be turned out each day for a 60-day period. At present 18,000,000 gallons are being turned out of the lake each day, the lake being lowered so that dead timber on its shore lines can be removed more readily. Before the permanent dam was completed the lake dropped 23tfeet below the bottom of the present sluice gate, but now the water never falls below this gate. Nature has provided a natural fil tering plant for all the water that flows from the .lake, for the Bull Run river courses a defined chan nel for about a quarter of a mile and then drops into an underground channel, flowing thus for about one- half mile, when it appears on the surface again. During the low water period it drops underground once again and continues on the surface for 21 miles to the headworks. Many Stream Available. Future development of storage water can be made at a reasonable expenditure on a number of the many streams that -empty into the Bull Run river. The first develop ment project for further storage of water would be made on the Blazed Alder river, a stream of consider able proportions. Other streams that contribute to Portland's en viable water supply are Log creek. Falls creek, Trout creek, north and south forks of the Bull Run river. Cougar creek, Bear creek and Camp creek. The city officials on the inspec tion trip traveled down the river for about 22 miles on an excellent mountain trail, viewed the various streams mentioned above and Saw for themselves the huge timber tract that forms the ' watershed In the reserve. - Portland has in the reserve a gift from the government of value that cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.

The Unlty f C111 and stllt Held Key to vNear East Crisis. Unity of church and state within the Moslem- empire is a key to the present crisis in the near east, in timated Dr. Snuel L. Joshi of Baroda university, India, who spoke before the first Reed college com munity gathering Friday night. '.'Religion and politics in Turkey are Inseparable," said Dr. Joshi, "be cause the sultan of Turkey is the 'pope' of the Mohammedan church and because Constantinople is at the same time capital of both sec ular and ecclesiastic empires." Consequently the treaty of Sevres, which reduced Turkish lands In Europe and threatened the power of the sultan, has aroused the ire of the Mohammedan peoples. This fact accounts for the recent Moham medan uprisings in India, he con tended. Dr. Josh' related the changes in Hindu culture and social and po litical life wrought by the invasion of Islam centuries ago. Pure Hinduism and Buddhism gave place to the more militant creed of the invaders. It became necessary to marry Indian maidens at a tender age to save them from Mohammedan harems, and much or the ancient Indian culture was obliterated. Every Precaution Taken. public is excluded from the reserve at all times, and property within the reserve held by private owners Is being . purchased as quickly as equitable deals can- be consummated. The city has telephone lines throughout the reserve, operated jointly with the governments for estry service. The fire bureau Is con- structing a radio outfit which will be installed at the lake and head works to aid the men employed in the reserve to keep in touch with the outside world as well as the country adjacent to the reserve. Among the city officials who made the inspection trip last week were City Commissioner Bigelow, H. A. Goode, assistant commissioner of public utilities, E. C. Willard, who Is making a valuation of the cost of city properties, and Ben S. Mor row, chief assistant engineer of the water bureau. Indian Hunters Fined. STEVENSON, Wash., Sept. 23. (Special.)
