River where a plant for extract-ingr-the
salts will be erected.
Was Splendid Success
The Bachelor Club's Charity
Entertainment in tho Multnomah
Theatre Monday night was a
most enjoyable event. The seat
ing capacity of tho theatre was
more than reached, and the en
tertainment was extensive, var
ied and particularly interesting.
It opened with three reels of
high class moving pictures, fol
lowed by minstrel performance
by the Bachelors. This was
splendidly arranged, and each
number was greeted with ap.
preciative applause. The Bache
lors were arrayed m regular
Darkey minstrel fashion, and it
was quite difficult to recognize
the individuals through their
coats of burnt cork.
Glen Vnndenburg rendered a
couple of pleasing selections on
the violin, followed by George
Johnson in vocal solo. Mr. John
son is possessed of a beautifu
voice, and his renditions were
greatly appreciated. Al. Kce
also sang several songs that
made a big hit with tho au
dicnce. a comedy sketch en
titled, "Making It Rain." fur
nished much amusement. Miss
Mary Barley, tho little daugh
ter oi Mr. and Mrs. William Bur
loy, captured tho house by her
singing. She is only a little bit
of n tot, but she rendered her
songs liko n veteran, nnd was
greeted with vociferous an
plausc. Harry Fassett, ragtime
warbler and irabbist. was at his
host. J and as is always the case,
his cllorts delighted his au
dicnce. In fact, Mr. Fassett
furnished n largo share of tho
entertainment of the evening.
and was a most important factor
in mak nor tho ovont tho splen

entertainment concluded with
fine selections by tho Elco qunr

"To Gregor Mendel, monk and

Mr. Punnett. "we owe it first

Surette Appreciation of Mu
sic.
This book has been prepared
in order to provide readers who
wish to listen to music intelli
gently, yet, without going into
technicalities, with a simple and
practical guide to musical ap
preciation written from tho lis
teners' rather than from tho
professional musicians' stand
point. The editor of a Lancaster
county paper says the soil is so
rich in that section that almost
anything will grow on it; some
years ago an old soldier with
two wooden legs located in that
vicinity. Every night when he
came in from plowing his legs
had grown two or three feet.
and he was obliged to saw them
off before he could get into the
house. In this way he kept the
family supplied with stove wood
for a number of years, but after
a while his natural legs began to
grow again and soon he had two
as good legs as anybody. He
then took the wooden legs and
planted them and they grew into
saw logs from which he cut lum
ber enough to build a neat resi
dence. Clearfield, Pa., Spirit.

Means Better Times
Announcement that the In
terstate Commerce Commission
had granted the five per cent in
crease in rates asked for by the
Eastern roads was received
Portland as tho most welcome
news in many months. The
gratification was not confined
merely to the railroad officials
Bankers, merchants and shin
pers received it with satistac
tion as well. Perhaps the best
evidence of tho significance o
the sweeping decision is con
tained in a statement of W. D,
Skinner, traffic manager of tho
Hill lines in Oregon, who was
shown tho Associated Press dis
patches from Washington bear
ing the news to Portland.
"The decision is tho most im
portant pieco of good nows to
tho American people since tho
present administration took
office," said Mr. Skinner. "It
means that the Government has
mado good tho recent uttcrnnce
of President Wilson that his ad
ministration was through hector
ing business and that the rail
roaus nave absolutely proved
their case boforo the interstate
Commerce Commission. The
decision grants practically every
request mado by tho Eastern
roans except a lew ot minor im
portance' nnd some npplying to
hauls in which lako tratlic is in
volved and these probably have
been meroly suspended for fur
thcr showinir by tho carriers.
"It IookB very much as if there
would bo an early awakening in
business throughout tho country.
Tho ruling will mean millions of
dollars in increased revenues for
tho roads and will cnnblo them
to mnko a fair return on invest
ment, which thoy hnvo not been
ab o to do under present rates.
In this connection! it is n notable
fact that tho Government has
realized tho full justice of tho
contention of tho carriers and
hnvo accepted thoir facts and
figures as Betting forth tho con
dltions under which tho com
panics wcro forced to opcrato at
a loss.
I am suro tho general bust
ncss conditions will bo stimulat
ed as a result of this decision.
It will servo to restore tho con
fidenco of tho investing public
in railroad securities and tho
roads will bo able to attract
money to cnnblo them to enlarge
thoir terminal facilities, buy
moro rolling stock nnd motive
power equipment and once moro
mako them a purchasing power
of our own commodities nnd pro
ducts, including lnbor.
"The rulincr natural y win
:iavo a reaction in tho West, be
causo it is in theso states whoro
the railroads need tho most
money for investment purposes,
and it is almost a foregono con
clusion thnt the Western roads
will now bo in a position to go
boforo tho Interstate Commerce
Commission nnd make a show
ing as .worthy of relief as that
presented by tho Eastern lines.
lho Interstate Commerce
Commission has handed the
American peoplo as well as tho
railroads directly affected a
most acceptable Christmas pres
ent, for, as 1 said before, tho
Government has practically as
sured the public that business is
entitled to earn a fair return
on us investment and that the
Government is clearly convinced
that tho railroads aro entitled to
greater compensation for the
service rendered than thoy
havo been receiving." Port-
