With a throng of more than three thousand persons overflowing the big open-air stadium tinder the campus maples, the first per formance of the great Oregon historic pageant was staged last night with brilliant success. For more than three hours vivid scenes from old Oregon history, depicting events from pioneer times to the present day, met a hearty response from the enthusiastic audi ence. The pageant, written by Professor Delia Crowder-Miller, is being given during the commencement period to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the university. The performance was given on a huge stage constructed especially for the event, and the natural setting for each scene, as well as the picturesque costumes used by the Indians as well as the white settlers, added color to the scheme. A total of episodes, be sides the prologue and epilogue, were presented during the evening, the parts numbering' three. Wilderness Scenes Revived, Part one of the production represent ed scenes in the wilderness among the Indians in pagan worship, their jour neys to St. Louis in quest of mission aries, the arrival of Jason Lee at Fort Vancouver and the establishment of the first Indian school in the new terri tory. A special feature of this part and one of the most picturesque events of the pageant was the Indian fair, pre sented by nearly a hundred students of the Chemawa Indian school, in full dress regalia. The second part represented the scene aboard the ship Lausanne when the collection of more than ?600 was received to build the first school for white children west of the mountains; the disputes over provisional govern ment in the new territory, and the not able meeting of the pioneers when it was decided to stand by the United States government: the founding of Salem, and the laying of the corner Btone of Waller hall, one of the oldest buildings on the campus. Climax Prove Effective. The Willamette of today, the part played by the university men in the great war, the work of the Red Cross, were depicted in a striking manner in the last part. The grand climax of the pageant came at the close, when, with the entire student-body and fac ulty occupying the stage and court in front, the whole scene was brilliantly illuminated and the spirit of Willam ette university strikingly represented. Throughout the entire performance ran suggestions of the self-denial and hardships undergone by the pioneers in the interest of better government and education, but comedy scenes such as were afforded by General Clark's negro servant at St. Louis, and the appear ance of the old-time prairie schooner crossing the plains, removed all pos sibility of monotony. Indian War Veteran Assists. Hundreds of alumni visitors from all parts of the northwest, as well as many pioneers, were among the crowd at tracted to Salem by the pageant. One of the most picturesque figures of the event is Major Lee Morehouse of Pen dleton, celebrated Indian war veteran and one of the best authorities on In dian customs in the country. He brought with him his entire collection of beautiful costumes and is assisting in the make-up work of the actors in the pageant. In addition to the collection owned by Major Morehouse, valuable costumes have been received from all parts of the country for the performance, many ot them worth hundreds of dollars. Many heirlooms of early pioneers are also used in the stupendous production. Great Characters Portrayed. The interludes in the pageant are filled with orchestra selections, under the direction of Professor John R. Sites, and with special tableaus and drill3. Some of the leading characters represented in the oig production are: Jason Lee, founder of Willamette uni versity. Harry Bowers; Anna Lee, his ' wife. Mabel Garrett: Dr. McLaughlin, in charge of Fort Vancouver and agent of the Hudson's Bay company. Horace Rahskopf; General Clark at St. Louis, Leslie Fislar; the spirit of Willamette university, Florence Shirley; history, Orville Crowder-Miller: literature, Genevieve Sevy; music, Vivian Annin; Governor Lane, the first governor of Oregon, Gustavo Anderson. At the close of the pageant it was announced that an additional sum amounting to fi500 has been given to the fund for the new women's dormi tory by commencement visitors. Salem People Co-operate. Last night's performance was the first of a scries of three, the second time for staging it being Monday after noon. The final presentation of the production will take place Tuesday evening. The university is being as sisted by the townspeople n producing the pageant and the Salem Commercial club has lent its hearty co-operation. As a result, last night's performance bore out the statement that the great pageant promised to exceed, from the point of view of dramatic beauty and historical interest, anything ever staged in the west. There's a, Reason for the Advance, Says Hazelnood Manager; Ev erything but AVater Higher. These who have a fondness for ice cream sodas are paying still more for them in some Portland places. In fact, the price is now 20 cents. Before cool ing drinks were included in the luxury list ice cream sodas sold for a dime. When the new menus appeared at fountains and confectionery t&toles there was a 30 per cent increase to 13 cents, which with the war tax added made .the price to the consumer 15 cents. But the confeotioncrs sav that the increase did not represent the ac tual increase in cost,' so yesterday the price was advanced to 18 cents, plus war tax, total 20 cents. There is a reason, according to Man ager Joyce, of the Hazelwood-. Not the least of the items that enter into the cost to the caterer is the breakage of PORTLAND MUSE IS CITED FOB BRAVERY OVERSEA. if v ' i t k 1 Miss Asnei L. O'Brien. Miss Agnes L.

A trip through Germany is de scribed in a letter Miss O'Brien wrote to her sister in Portland recently. - 'I found Paris a wild city," she wrote. "It was a whirl of gaiety while Brussels, on the contrary, is a quiet, beautiful city with wonderful buildings and in no way damaged by the Germans." ' PORTLAND ELKS TO FROLIC Annnal Picnic Slated for Estacada I'nrk Sunday. June Plans have been completed for the annual picnic and outing of the Port land loda, Ke. U3, i-li smjI their. glasses. Glassware of the type com monly used for ice cream sodas cost 75 cents a dozen two years ago. Now the same kind of glasses cost ?2.50 a dozen. The glassware that goes often to the tables where patrons quench their thirst do not come back as many times as the uninformed imagine. Not over ten or a dozen trips are made un til the shining crystal is swept up on a dustpan and goes to the place where broken glassware accumulates. China ware has advanced more than 100 per cent in cost in two years, says Mr. Joyce. Likewise, there has been some in crease in labor costs in the Hazelwood places. Girls are paid $55 a month nd board the first month, 6a the second month. After three or four months" service those who show pro ficiency become captains and are paid not less than ?7o a month. To these added costs of service are material in creases in ingredients, including sweets, fruit, juices, milk and refrig- eiation. Water alone has not advanced and every patron at a table is served glass of water with food which means another trip of the glass in its perilous and brief existence. Lewiston Heroes Return. cial.)

A, Hazeltine, publisher of the South Bend Journal, who is now in France serving as a Y. M. C. A. Bejlretary with, the 54th regiment of the sixth division, gives an interesting account of the way the French peasants take the departure of the American soldiers who have been with them for many months. The first thing Mr. Hazeltine looked for. he said, was the effect the cleanly habits of the solders and the spotless manner In which they had kept the town. Esserois, would have upon the peasants. He was disappointed, he said, for the soldiers had not been out of town more than a day or two before the natives began to throw slops In the streets and otherwise litter up the town. Their grief over the departure of the Tanks, however, was genuine. In Mr. Hazeltine's opinion, and was not due to the loss of the many francs which the soldiers had spent with them. The young women cr4ed. of course, Mr. Hazeltine says, but the old women cried, too, and the children were really sad. for they missed the companionship of the soldiers as well as the chewing gum and candy they had supplied. "Gude bye, chew'n gum," the children called "after the soldiers as they left. Mr. Hazeltine tells of some of the un usual claims for damages that were put In by the French against the sol diers, and how in every instance where there was injustice in the claim, Yan kee wit served to get the better of the argument.
