Andreas Dippcl. general manager of the Chicago Grand Opera company, had arranged to bring his company west to San 1'ranclsco, but a trip to the north west was not seriously considered un til, the Portland promoters took bold of the idea. Mr. Dippel wanted a guar antee' fund of $34,000 before he would even consider 4 season In Portland. The Meers-t.oman Interests got together, and soon decided tliat they' could swing the deal, big as it was. The Portland guarantee was made, and the promoters went even further and. also made ar rangermfefor a Seattle season. ' The Portland guarantors of the opera iuna were: ii. u Corbett, E. P..
