S : "Pathrttque" Symphony.
Br 7. L. Wall In.
With the ooncert Sunday afternoon
at the Eleventh Street theatre, the
'Portland symaiony season came to a
.close. Artistically and from the vlew
; point of attendance the season has
beeri successful Indeed. The limited
'seating capacity of the house made tho
'financial end of the project a some
what difficult problem, and It required
Sunday's performance to square ac
counts. But It also leaves a respect
able nucleus for an emergency fund.
.and therefore the orchestra will face
'the seventh year of Its existence next
'fall under brighter conditions than
ie.ver. ,
The closing: concert was in a way a
recapitulation of the work of the past
Mix seasons, for the program was made
(up largely of the choicest works of
(ijrmw concm,
, Of the Tschalkowsky symphony
;"Pathetlque" the orchestra played the
two first movements beautifully not
withstanding the fact that the first
and second violin and cello sections
vere somewhat smaller than usually.
(The musicians donated their services
.at this concert. Conductor Mose
Christensen wielded the baton with
pleftdld authority and his Jnterpre-
. tation was featured by greater breadth
Of style and abandonment than has
been displayed by him before since he
became one of the associate conduc
tors. The very charming phrasing of
v the principal theme by the string and
the, wood wind was one of the out-
; standing features of the concert. Mr.
Christensen also conducted the popular
"Peer Gynt" suite by Grieg, which
with the two symphony movements
. formed the first half of the program.
The difficult passages laid for the
basses, both string and reed, in
the fourth, movement could have been
brought out more distinctly without
harming the effect. The suite and
the symphony movements were, most
enthusiastically applauded.
, Waldemar Und conducted the sec
ond part, opening with the wonderful
prelude to Wagner's "Lohengrin."
Conductor Lind developed a climax
that stirred the audience and drew
applause containing the true ting of
spontaneity. His other numbers were
'Invitation to the Dance," Weber-.
Weingartner; "Dance of the Whistle
Pipers,'! Tschalkowsky, In which the
prominent flute solos were exquisitely
played: "Irish Tune from County
Derry," Grainger; intermezzo from
"The Jewels of the Madonna." Wolf
Ferrari, and "Southern Rhansody,"
Xlosmer.
The program opened with the "Star
Spangled Banner." A. Wunderwald
' was the concertmaster. The audience
nearly filled the theatre.

will be given first considera-
tion." j

Insane Patient Escapes.
Salem, Or., April 30. Fid ward Beas
ley, committed to the Oregon State
Hospital from Linn county, escaped
from the asylum grounds this morn
ing. lie was working In a field when
last seen. He is not considered dan
gerous and is expected to make his
way back to Eugene. He is 26 years
old.
' With election notices being sent out
today by City Auditor Barbur to the
Judges and clerks in the various pre
cincts plans are rapidly taking shape
for the Joint city and special state
election to be held here June 4. No
definite arrangement has been made,
however, to have the same judges and
clerks serve on both, the city and
county election boards to minimise the
expense.
A number of other men besides those
already announced are planning to run
for city commlsslonerships. This was
Indicated today when nominating pe
titions were sought at the auditors
office.
One set of petitions was given out
for one man expecting to run for
mayor. Who they are for is not
known, but it is believed they are to
be used by A. G. Rushlight, ex-mayor,
who is getting into the race on an
anti-commission charter platform.
Vacating Power Sought.
A charter amendment to give the
city council authority to order the va
cation of plats, blocks, streets, -alleys
and other public thoroughfares Is now
proposed by Commissioner Dieck and is
to be considered by the city council
Wednesday. The proposed amendment
would give the council power to act
upon the presentation of a petition of
the owners of 75 per cent of the front
age of the property affected.
Preparing to Force
The Vote in Curry
Governor Will Take Action to Btan-
damus Officials If They Do Hot Take
Necessary Steps for Election.
Salem, Or., April 30. Acting on the
advice of Attorney-General Brown,
GSvernor Wlthycombe today wired the
county judge, county clerk and sheriff
of Curry county to ascertain if they
intend to obey the law requiring the
holding of a special elerfpn through
out the state on June 4..
The chief executive asked for an Im
mediate reply, and If they signify they
do not intend to hold the election in
Curry county, he announced he would
request the attorney-general to insti
tute mandamus proceedings to compel
them to comply with the law.
This action has been taken as a re
sult of the Curry county court passing
a resolution declaring its refusal to
hold the election, on the grounds that
no provision was made in the budget
for defraying the expense of such an
election, and that Curry county will
receive no benefit from the $6,000,000
road bond issue.

were charged with sending liquor-laden

station below Oregon City, from where
they were to have been brought to
Portland by automobile.
Hearing was begun this afternoon
before Circuit Judge Tucker of the
action brought by Fred C. King, a tax
payer, against Samuel B. Martin, coun
ty auditor, and John M. Lewis, county
treasurer, to restrain the payment of
claims presented by the Oregonian and
the Telegram for the publication of
the 1915 delinquent tax list.
The sought for relief in the action
is the reduction from the two bills of
$2497.64, the plaintiff presenting in
the- case today that the claims are
excessive under the allowance granted
by the statutes for tax list publica
tions. The Oregonian's claim of
$3599.54, and the claim of the Tele
gram for $2571.10 are based on the
average general circulation of the pa
pers. Under the statute providing that
such claims should be based on the
county circulation the claims should
be: Oregtfhian, $2203.80, and the Tele
gram, -2571.10.

BUSINESS IS EXPANDING
Ltunber Trad Is Znttaneed as maatra-
tlon; Postal Xecalpts and Deposits
Alao Greater.
April was the biggest month in the
history of Portland for bank clear
ings. The total for the SO days was
3,370,993.01. an increase of more than
twenty millions over the clearings for
ApeiK 1916, for which the figures were
S5Z,973,314.5i
The increased clearings are due
largely to the higher cost of nearly
every commodity. Bankers during the
month have said that It now takes
$1.50 to do the work of $1 in normal
times. At the same time the increase
is due considerably to the larger vol
ume of business. For Instance the
lumber trade in Portland during the
month was the largest since the war
started.
Postoffice Makes Beoord.
The war censorship forbids publics
tion of shipping figures, but neverthe
less. It can be said that the month
was by far the beEt of any that Port
land has seen for the lumber industry
since the war started. An example of
the business may be cited in the fact
that three off shore lumber cargoes in
three days were reported.
Similarly the coastwise grain ship
ping records for the month showed
much improvement over recent former
periods, although no new records were
registered.
"The largest April the Portland
postoffice has ever had."
This was Postmaster F. 8. Myers'
commentary on his estimated figures
for the 30 days' business.
The receipts of the month (estl
mated) were $105,800. The actual re
ceipts for April of 1916 were $97,-
072.99. The postal saving receipts in
creased $10,000, and the total deposits
are now $1,469,037.

are more settled.
In building. 271 permits for con
structions, repairs and new buildings
were issued, and the estimated cost of
these improvements was $381,725
These figures are for the close of
business Saturday. In April, 1916
there were 517 permits issued at
figure of $457,765.
In April, 867 realty transfers were
recorded with the county clerk, and
the total money involved was $390,222
Tho March realty transfers numbered
1072 transactions, amounting to $459,
708
The excessively gloomy condition of
the weather had deterrent effeet on
building and realty transactions. Con
ditions in both these activities are
"looking upward," that is, there
much talk of various activities; but

Pleasure for 66,666 fami

Dancirig!
Which shows the pleasure-power
of $1,000,000 in
one way. But to take an
other way
What means more to
thousands of men than the
fragrance, the mellowness
of a cigar like the OWL?
So-to"sureif y" OWL fra
grance we spend $1,000,000.
For it takes $1,000,000 to
keep the reserve -leaf for
your OWL constantly mel
lowing, constantly curing.
And sometimes more.
For mind you the Owl
leaf for the Owl of 1918 is now
curing, watched over by ex
perts. Only when these experts
pronounce this leaf "ready"
does it go into your Owl Cigar.
We think you'll like your
Owl Cigar behind which
stands $1,000,000 or more of
flavor-insurance. We'd like to
have you try one. We think you
will. So we say Thank you.
