It is reported from California, where the early summer drop Is already well over, thit the loss has been unusually heavy.

VISITING ASSISTANTS HIGHLY COMMENDED Dr. John R. Sites as Direc tor Lauded for Ability in Training Singers More than 1400 persons heard Haydn's great oratorio, "The Cre ation' in the armory last night. Standing room only was the rule even before the production began. This oratorio marked the first night of the first Willamette Val ley May festival, which it is hoped by those who have sponsored the affair, will be made an annual event. The aim has been educa tional and the second night of the festival, tonight, will be given over to posing by living models. 13 masterpieces of art. Repitltion Requested "The Heavans are Telling," the great chorus which closed the first part of the oratorio, had .hardly ceased when a request for a repi tltion was handed to Dr. John R. Sites, director. The number was repeated following the end of the oratorio. , I The great chorus sang almost as one person and one adverse critism only has Jmen voiced re garding it 'too tew men's voices' And as Mrs Jane Burns Albert, who took the part of Gabriel, said yesterday, "You- eannot help that, if more men do not join the chpr- us." John B. Slefert, .who. took the part of Uriel last night, expressed the same regret, saying that not withstanding this fact the men's voices which were included in the chorus made a good showing. Mrs. Albert Conquers Mrs. Jane Burns Albert as Ga briel, took her hearers by storm and it Is to .be hoped that Salem will hear her again in the not too distant future. Rer full and rich voice rang out clear as a bell and she sang so easily as to win admi ration. In "The Marvelona Wnrlr" in which she sings with the chorus her clear voice was plainly heard above, the chorus. Other solos which were specially well received were "With Verdun Clad " and On Mighty Pens." John B. Siefert as Uriel sang Now Vanish before Holy Beams' in a way to emphasize the spirit of greatness of God as the Crea tor of all. Especially appreciated was his "In Native Worth," which was perhaps his best solo of the evening. Solo Work Excellent John Claire Monteith as Raph ael opened the oratorio and gave a number of recitative numbers for which his voice seemed, par ticularly wen suited. His tones were clear and carried unusually well. His solo work Inclnriod 'Rolling in the , Foaming Bil lows." and "How Heaven in Ful lest Glory Shone." The trio numbers by these three, Uriel Gabriel and Raphael, were particularly well given and Included the part with the chorus in 'The Heavens are Telling," "The Lord Is Great" and "Most Beautiful Appear." The duet by Adam and Eve Charles Cone of Salem and Mrs. J. S. Landers of Monmouth "By Thee With Bliss and "Out Duty Now We, Have Performed" were both unusually well given and the chorus rounded out the first number splendidly. First tn , Two Decades "Sing the Lord. Ye Voices All" with chorus and quartet, closed the great production, the first oratorio which has been given in Salem in more than 20 years, ac cording to local musicians. The Salem Symphony with Mrs. William H. Burghardt, Jr., at the piano, gave splendid support to the chorus. The Salem portion of the chorus, as well as the com bined chorus, has been under the direction of Dr. .John R. Sites. Mr. Siefert, speaking of Dr, Sites yesterday, expressed the opinion that Salem was to be con gratulated on having Dr. Sites, since many larger towns would be happy , to hare such, a good direc tor. ' He also expressed the opinion that those who had directed the (Continued on page 8) HUNDREDS OF HOUSES ARE BEING BUILT An Parts of Salem Benefited by Building Trade' in Materia) Is Good A rough estimate has it that close to 300 houses bare been built or are now building in Sa lem since the first of last Octo ber. There are some really fine homes; a number of excellent. commodious homes; and oodles of desirable, comfortable little homes, few of them with fewer than fire rooms. The building has been going on in almost every portion ot the city. Out in South Salem, .'be tween tie Lincoln and the Mc Klnley Schools, dozens of homes have been' finished or at least started. ' On the north 'streets, new houses are springing up like mushrooms over night. They are building In East Salem, and across the river in West Galem. Everywhere the lumber delivery wagons and the trucks with the plasterers and other mechanics' supplies are choo-chooing down the street, on the dead run to and from their Jobs." Salem is needing homes faster than they can be built, but . the builders are hot on , the trail of the home-hunters, and if they don't altogether catch up, at least they promise to have home roofs for part ot them before an other winter.

' 'Outcome of Suit : x This action against the fru'.t union was filed by the Phez com pany, of Salem, as a result of the letter's suit to recover 1300,000 on alleged contract violations lodged against tbe union.

Oregon Ijead Nation A striking comment in tbe re port is that there were 7020 resi dents of Oregon attending 1 col leges and universities last .year, which is one student to very 112 people in the state, a proportion of : students to population which is higher than that of any other state in tbe anion.. Oregon Js followed by Uwo. Utah. Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, Nevada, California, Colorado, Idaho, Min. nesota and Montana, all west 61 the Mississippi river. In making his inspection Xr.

Normal Policy Scored " Following are some excerpts from Dr.. Zook's report: "In the number of stndents at tending normal schools Oregon Is by no means so fortunate. In the proportion t normal school stu dents to population the. state ranks 43rd in i the i union. Last year there were only 617 normal school students from ; Oregon, nearly one-half ot whom went to other states, notably California and f Washington. Only 15 stu dents from other states were reg istered at the Oregon State Nor mal school. It seems ' clear that the state Is not doing Its duty in providing sufficient normal school facilities and of such grade as to keep at home a large proportion of the small' number of Oregon students who sow attend normal schools. State Schools Crowded "Turning again to the situation in the colleges and universities ot the state It may well be, as has already been stated, a source of pride that the state has a larger proportion -of its population In colleges than Say ' other state In the union. Indeed the tremendous growth in the number of students has taxed the capacity of the state institutions and the better pri vately supported colleges and has made necessary numerous popu lar appeals for the support of higher education both In tbe state and private institutions.
