Days of .Visitation
Th year' Chautauqua which
opens In Salem ilonday night Is
the biggest I have ever seen, and
1 hay been Yltally connected with
Chaulauauas for a number of
years, .. . 7 !
M. S. Taylor waxed enthusias
tic as: he outlined the programs
.that are to be presented this year
.at the Willamette .unHrerslty cam-
"For a well-rounded .program
of music, entertainment, fun and
good lectures, I consider the Kl-
Jiijon White seven-day Chatanqua.
the big league circuit of America."
he continued. "Take any of the
lecturers, and you will find them
top-notchers In-their particular
field, rand the same is true of the
musical organizations. And the
play company Is one of the best
that j-will visit Salem In many
moons.
Little Is known or Burnell Ford
Vho-i)pens Chatauqua with his
electrical demontrations, for he
Is of i all men most modest. Mr.
Pordi however, has made an en
viable reputation in the electrical i
world and brings to Salem a big'
part lot his laboratory equipment
with j which he will demonstrate
the wonders of this unseen. force
When one realizes that he brings
one of his machines with which
it .lai possible, by properly attun
ing It, to send a ship ten miles
out to make It manoeuvre at
at. will and return to a perfect
: landing without a single person
aboard, and uses that machine to
perform a number of Interesting
; experiments .In wireless- control,
one cannot but feel that this and
the rest of his startling experl
; ments ar worth the seeing. Truly
! his te a most spectacular program
and a plenUld feature with which
to begin Chautauqua.
Tne, second day brings the
Roaeh-Freemnn Cuo for a Jull af
ternoon, of Impersonations, com-
edy, songs and raudevilllan stunts
of all kinds. - '
And in the evening Stefansson.
Mr. Stefansson Is one of the big
men! In the world of exploration.

wonderful Jmpresslon wherever
he goes. His Is a most interesting

through a marked personal mag
netism and a most Temarkable
story. To miss 8tefansonn la to
ml mi one of the high spots of
Chautauqua. i
The Orpheus Male quartette,
which gives a prelude Wednesday
afternoon and a full concert in
the! evening is the i organization
which won the $3090 grand prize
at the San Francisco exposition In
1915 for the best quartet there, j
These boys are a valuable asset
to. Chautauqua and are rated in
the; east as the best male quartet
In; America. -- ! .

lude Dr.-'J. F. Jennes gives an in
spirational address on "Wh is an
American." v r
! Signaller Tom Skeyhlll and the
-Jugo Slav orchestra are' the at
tractions for the fourth day. Fol
Jewjn'f the prelude by the' orches

delivers his message, "The Psy

hill gives his first hand story of
conditions in Russia. , '.
-the feature for the fifth, sixth
and seventh days, brggest days of
Chautauqua: with a . real comedy
played by a nftew York company,
more good music and lectures win
be explained in tomorrow's issue
Not least among these attractions
are Father D. J. Cron'n, lecturer
and Walter Jenkins of Jfortland,
community song leader. -
Considering the greatfy reduced
cost to patrons of Chautauqua
who purchase season , tickets, it
seems that everyone who expects
to attend as many as three num
bers on the program will see the
economy of the season ticket pian
because three eveping numbers
total more than the adult season
ticket it seen on the single ad
mission plan.
. t Reserved seats as well as season
tickets can be procured at the
'Ilartman Jewelry store all day
today. Season tickets are also on
sale at The Spa, Grey-Belle. Pat
ton's and-- the- Commercial Book
Store. i
Last vear. and some other years
some of the later Chautauqua tic
ket buyers have found all tho re
served seats sold, and they have
to' sit on back rows and have the
goody strained out of some of the
lectures and concerts by the. eager
auditors in front of them.
1 jThere will be no increase in
the number of reserved seats sold,
and there can't be enough of then
" to give every applicant a reserva-
tionJudging from the present aa
Vance demand for seats. But
everybody will have an even break
for a chance at the best seats, tor
the reserved-seat ticket sale does
ot niira on til 10 o'clock this
- mnrnlnr at the Ilartman Brothers
store, where the books will be
opened and everybody who comes
will be served in turn as long as
the seats last. The season tickets
have been on sale for several days
to that all buyers have had op
portunity to supply themselves

reserved seat privileges.
. r Season tickets will be on sale
along with the reservations today,
so that all who apply at once will

T "he program throughout looks

stories and impersonations have the sparkle pf true genius. 4

"That "la explained," - replied
Babcock, "by the fact that the

Tribute Paid Engineer
As a further point to show
that the Oregon public is victlm-
zed by the American Tejepnono
a Telparranh tombany. and tnai
the Pacific company is under the
thumb of the parent monopoly.
Major Babcock declared that "in
his opinion the -engineers of the
Pacific, company are unable tact-
ullv to recommend anytnmg, in'.
dneo not come through, what
known as "engineer'ng service'."
Incidentally he paid warm iriu
ute to the (MiKln-TS of th Pacf
'c system, declaring that those, he
had met were men of s'iperior at
tainments in the engineering sv
trm who conld not tolerate the
fered y Mrs. Agnes Johnson the
previous day relative V a test
made by her of .the jdervice in
Portland. -Major Babcock said that
the average of 30 calls a day
made by Mrs. Johnson fchould not
overload the line.
"Tne percentage of party line's
in Portland is so low' he said,
"that the number should not be an
appreciable load on any line. I
would cuasider 1000 cafls a fairer
test in two weeks than the 339
made by Mrs. Johnson.?
Asked his opinion da to what
constitutes satisfactory service.
'Major Babcock said tlfat. for the
suoecrioer tnis depends on nis
point of view and hlsi experience
with telephones. "Butllf I were a
manager,,r he added, " would not !
consider I was giving service, even
if there were no complaint, unless
f gave -the patrons the; advantage
of very modern device! that could
economically be usedf' In .this
obsolete system in Oregon should
be legislated or ordered out of
business..
i Asked to elucidate on the semi
automatic system of service.
which Is advocated by, Major Bab
jcock, he defined the three types
jof service. These, he explained,
i are the full manual, which re
! quires extreme operator labor;
'the full automatic, which requires
) extreme subscriber labor; and the
! semi-automatic, which requires a
j minimum of labor both by the
I operator and by the subscriber.
S itchboarUH Attacked.
This led Major Babcock to a
vitriolic attack on the general
switchboard system in Portland,
even to the assertion that he had
found Rei-ond-band obsolete switch
boards being installed which had
the appearance ot Laving been
discarded in some other large city
and sent to Portland lor use.
; The major took as his first ex
l ample the Main-Marshall ex
change, which he said is unecon
omical in that one exchange is
serving a territory that should be
served by two. The congestion of
linos in this exchange, he said,
is very pronounced.
"These switchboards are known
as the jack-per-station type," said
Major Babcock, "which, I ini ad
vised, is the standard fqr the Pa
cific, company, but which i con
eider a very extravagant specifi
cation. It places a great burden
upon the operator and results in
errors in giving service. It dis
courages the economical four
party service. I have never seen
bui one switchboard anywhere
that was more congested than the
Main-Marshall exchange in Port
land." Kast Exchange Bad. ft
Mr. Babcock then took up the
East exchange which he declared
presents a more deplorable con
dition than the Main-Marshall exchange.
"At the East exchange," he
said,, "the company has proceeded
with a system of emergency re
lief diametrically opposed to the
Main-Marshall exchange, but
equally bad, and- which is a dis
tortion of ordinary practices of
engineering."
This reference was to the
raised multiple at the East ex
change which the majoj declared
"is Indefensible on any basis to
which my imagination may ex
tend." Overload Serious.
The overload, he said, is very
exaggerated and involves an ad
dition to costs and poor service.
It was here that Major Babcock
found the second-hand switch
boards which he opined had been
removed somewhere else and
thrust upon the Portland public
To illustrate the economical ser
vice which he said would result
from the semi-automatic system.

At a meeting of depositors it
was decided to try to save the
bank rather than force it into the

In ithe. forenoon Major Babcock
averred, that the service -system of
the' Pacific Telephone i& .telegraph

he declared that the ompanv dis
courages four-party Eine develop
ment' which in otherleitles is af

and adeqnate service.
1 Seattle Compared
v in i Portland, according to Major
Babcock. four-party development
jrepresents only about 1 1 percent
of, the total number of patrons,
while; in. Seattle the proportion is
5 9, "percent and in EyeVett, Wash,
it Js St. percent. However, t. he
said Jth&f, Seattle, like PorUaml.

Major Babcock1 ajaid that his
observation . in eastern, middle

shows that fouw-parfy line devel
opment makes a lower rate and
a service that is o much more

Patent Ownership Detriment
Attorney Tomllnson asked Ma
jor Babcock to comment on the
ownership of the great list of pat
ent rights held by the American
Telephone & Telegraph company,
"My opinion." said the witness
"in view of the obsolete equip
ment and other deficiencies in
Portland, is that it is nothing
more or less than, a detriment to
the public of Portland, because
the company owning them hai not
availed itself of the opportunity
to give the public the advantage
of improved service.
It is estimated that the hear
ing will require at least another
week. anda, portion of the session
