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

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.

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.

Programme for Winter Comprises
Series of One-Act Pieces to Be
Presented in Little TtieateY.
A play-writing contest to be epon

is attracting widespread attention
among local ambitious writers. The
decision to hold a contest was reached
last Wednesday at a meeting of the
board of directors. Only local writers
may compete and the expiration of
the contest is March 1.
The theme of the material is op
tional, but it must be in the form of
a one-act play. There is no monetary
prize, but the two or three selected as
best will be given an adequate pro
duction at the Little theater In the
month of May. The plays are to be
sent in under nom de plumes, with the
actual name of the author in a. sealed
envelope accompanying the contribu
tion.
The judges of the play-writing con
test are Miss Genevieve Thompson,
Hugh Hume and Dean Collins.
The committee on entertainment
has announced a programme of plays
for the year, made up of groups of
different players for each month. The
first programme will be given on De
cember 29, with Miss Nina Greathouse
in charge, and will consist of a group
of three one-act plays. The third
week in January Miss Gwladys
Soweh and her group of players will
present a series of one-act plays,
among them Barrie's "Twelve-Pound
Look."
In February Mrs. Dent Mowry and
Miss Aileen Brong will present "Rid
ers to the Sea," and each succeeding
month will bring equally Interesting
announcements of players and plays.
Among the innovations of the plans
of the drama league for this season is
a series of conversationals and teas,
to be held on Friday afternoons, to
which will be bidden all members of
the league and local and visiting the
atrical folk. The first tea is to be
held November 28, and further an
nouncements concerning it will be
made later. A different group of
hostesses will serve at each tea.
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

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.

"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."
