I. w. ' -K The concert given tit the Helllg last night was well attended and the pro gram was enjoyed. Mrs. Pauline Mil ler Chapman came as a surprise to ihany who .heard her for the first time. ' Her voice la advertised as a mezso-soprano-dramatlo, but it seems to partake more of the contralto quality and is. almost contralto in Its ranee.' Her voice Is of beautiful, rich quality,' with a good deal or resonance, good volume, and - orii liancy. Her tone Is full and well rounded and expressive. She some times lacks smoothness in her transit from low to high notes and there is t good deal of sameness in her singing, which could be corrected with further work. Mrs. Chapman' voice is a nat ural voice, not one that has been made by constant training. - She signs nat urally and with ease and her faults could doubtless be easily overcome with continued practice. Altogether she has one of the prettiest voices heard In Portland for a long time, a voice quite wen worth Keeoing ana wonting witn. Mrs. ChaDman first sana a aroun of German -' songs and "Margarethen's Wlegenlled" (Grieg) showed her ' Voles witn us gentle, quailty at its best.

' (Special D lap ten to Th Journal.) Salem, Or., May 26. An investigation has been started by the railroad .com mission regarding express rates ., en forced by the Wells, Fargo and the Paclflo express companies In Qregon. Some startling revelations have been brought to light that will likely de mand the attention of the commission In the near future. ' Comparisons have been made showing the relative eharares on lines in Oregon and the charges in, other states for similar distances and for the same class of goads. From Portland to 81s- Kiyou, a distance or 886 miles, tne Wells-Fargo Express company charges a merchandise rate of 12.75 for 100 Sounds, while for the same distance in lissourl a rate has been established by the Missouri railroad commission, which is now In force, of f2 for 100 pounds. The ' merchandise rate in Texas for a similar distance is $2.05. . Sates East rrom Portland. The rates charged by the Pacific Ex press company are even more exorbitant according tothe figures given out by ine rauroaa commission. The ractria Express company operates out of Port land east - over the O. R. A N.. For 440 miles over the O. R. A N., from Portland to. Huntington, the general merchandise rate for 100 pounds is 14. For 35S miles, or the same distance for which the Wells-Fargo charges J 2.75 In western Oregon, the Paclflo Express company In eastern Oregon .charges 13.74. , ; Compared with similar distances In Missouri and Texas, the rates of the Paclflo Express company are extreme. For 440 miles in Missouri the general merchandise express rate is 12.10 and In Texas It Is 12.30. In both these states the rates have been fixed by railroad commissions and bave been ac cepted by the express companies and are now In force. The rates given are for the same classes of goods In every instance. .: - Big Jump Beyond Tne DaUeai " The rate charged by the Paclflo Ex press company from ' Huntington to Shanlko, which. Is on a branch line, is $4.76. The distance Is 68 miles. The rate for 400 miles In Texas Is but J2.05 and In Missouri only $2. considerably less than one-half. The rates to points on branch lines In Oregon are from 25 cents to 60 cents higher than for sim ilar distances on the main lines. An interesting point noticed la In reference to the big Jumps In rates that amount almost to discrimination in some Instances. For Instance, the rate charged by the Pacific Express company to The Dalles from Portland Is SO cents for 100 pounds, general mer chandise rate. The rate charged by mat company ior a similar amoont or goods of exactly the same class to any nolnt bevond The Iallea as far east as Biggs is f 1.25, a Jump of over twice the amount charged to The Dalles. If goods are . to be shipped only five miles beyond The Dalles the charge Is $1.26 uer 100 nounda. while If the same arimrla are to be shipped to The Dalles the charge Is but 60 cents. .-,.
