In in order yesterday with
drawing suspension of increased
street car fares at Astoria, the
public service commission pointed
out that the present 5-cent tire
do. not com near reaching oper

would cause discontinuance Of ser

Tbe 'Astoria Street Railways,
owned by the Pacific Power &
Light eompan7 filed Its Increased
-fares about seven months ago,
but they were, suspended by the
commission pending investigation.
The order yesterday allows '.hem
to become effective,' which they
will do Monday next.
The order taya in part:
" "It' Is evident that a continu
ance of a '(-cent fare would (all
short of the payment of actual
' operating expenses and would in
evitably result la a discontinuance
of street car service. It also
seems apparent that any Increas
ed fares which might he charged,
due to the -relatively short haul
on this street railway win not pay
a fair return on the fair value of
this utility agHumtd herein. The
s Question therefore remains as. to
a proper fare to be charged which
will give a composite of the most
service to the. community1 and a
relatively commensurate revenue
to Its servant, the utility.
"The, commission is not thor
oughly satisfied that the- tariff
filed by.tho company la the best
ultimate solution: of the Astoria
IrMt rail wav nrnhlam. vet in out
knowledge of the marked; inade

Latin and general science.
Geography Much Changed
What a, queer bookone of those
old geographies would seem to
day. Alaska was Russian; 'no
body really knew who owned Or
egon or any part of the north
west, except Russia. Japan was a
devil's wild land; China was lit
tle known, the whole western
half of North America waa the
abode of howling wildcats and
whatever was least desirable in,
natural history or civilisation.
The "science" books were even
more curious. They didn't know
the telegTaph, the telephone, the
are or incandescent light, the
steam turbine, dynamite, half of
the gases or two-thirds of the
chemical elements that are today
common.
The university incorporation,
planned jn 1842 became a reality
In 1853, 11 years-after the first
great dream there in the old mis
sion. It is impossible fairly to
estimate the number of students
who have passed through the
Willamette and the old Oregon
Institute halls In these 80 years;
though tentative figures have set
It at 10,000 which might be
close or far from the truth. The
attendance was never before as
large ! as at present, when there
are about 500 In attendance.
ProfesNor Gatke Speaks
Prof. Robert Gatke, of the his
tory ' department ' of - Willamette,
gave a brief address at chapel
Tuesday, covering some of the
early ! history of the famous old
school. It wasn't planned to cel
ebrate today, as the semester 'ex
aminations are on in full blast,
beginning this morning, and the
past isn't li it with the deadly
present- when there's a flunk
hanging over every unguarded
undergraduate head- But the cel
ebration day is today, and Wil
lamette is an octlgenarian for the
first time in its honored life.

Salem folk last night had an op

by critics among the 10 best pro
duced on Broadway last year
They lived through the sparkling
comedy and the touches of pathos
in the life ct a temperamental,
lovable, changeable, grand opera
star and her husband.
Gay MacLaren, not with a tra
veling company, but all by her
self brought the play to the Grand
thheatre. Gay 'MacLaren. the
"girl of the camera mind," the
girl of "a thousand voices," took
the part of 10 characters included
in the cast of "Enter Madame."
So rapid and so definite wa3 her
transition from one character to
another, the charmine Madame,
the worried husband and the
mistreated son, that the illusion
seemed almost perfect.
When she takes the part of Ma
dame Lisa Del Robbia'. she is wit
ty and elusive, and as the w-
thy husband she depicts the wor
ried husband determined to be
done with his wife, to divorce hr
and yet failing to disguise the
fact that he stiil loves her. The
staid and propter English secre
tary, who is th only one of Ma
dame's servants who speaks Eng
lish, is. as the maid says, in dan

Miss MacLaren, who was
brought to Salem by the Arts
League, has what is considered
remarkable powers of imitation.
She says that as a child she de
lighted in calling her playmates
by imitating their mothers. She
wanted .to go on the stage, but
since her parents opposed this she
"just began giving the play her
self." Later she was on the stage
and has played all parts Includ
ing leading lady.
Miss MacLaren selects her list
of plays to give from those which
seem most popular in New York
and which are most kindly spoken
of by! the critics. ' She sees the
play five times and then has both
