sons Respectively
Salem is to hare two new tne
- aters, and both of them are to be
bigger, finer and more up to date
than any theater now In this city.
And both of them are to be reaay
for business before long.
George B. Guthrie, who is the
man behind the Oregon, the Grand
and the Liberty theaters in Salem,
some months ago acquired the lot
on the east side of South High
street just back of the Salem ho
tel, and across the street from the
New Salem hotel. The former
owner! was Frank Hughes. This
lot has a frontage on High street
of 744 feet, and It runs east to
r the alley, 15 feet.
This is enough ground floor
space to give opportunity for a
roomy ! theater, and one very con
veniently located.
! Fine and Distinctive .
It is the intention of Mr. Guth
rie to give Salem a theater that
will be distinctive; one that will
not be I just like any other the
ater. ' He has some ideas, and so
has the architect who will put the
finishing touches onto the plans
and specifications. What is more,
Mr. Guthrie is consulting and in
tends to consult others, including
prospective customers here in Sa
iem. He wants to give Salem the
kind of a theater Salem wants;
predicated upon the idea of his
own that they want and ought to
have something very fine and eon
Tenieut, and different." .That is,
distinctive and individual.; "
He expects to build the new
theater so that It will seat 1400
to 1500 people; that Is, about
double the number that Is now ac
i commodated by the Grand or the
; Oregon here. He expects to equip
the theater so that it will accom
modate all kinds of plays. He
expects to have his new theater
possess dignity, and at the same
time be homey and comfortable.
That is as far as the matter has
gone; excepting that the lot is
ready,! and will be vacated as soon
as possible, and work started with
in a few weeks, so as to have
everything ready for business this
fall. !!;', . -
i The Second Theater -'
Frank Bllgh will also build a
new theater. It will front on
State street, east of the Salem ho
tel property. It will occupy the
space now occupied, by the Buzz
shop land the buildings next to
the alley. The filling station and
the Salem Hotel property will not
be disturbed. ,
, ' The! reader will note that the
two new theaters will be in the
same block, one fronting on State
street and the other on High
street, j and their back entrances
being almost together.
Mr. Bligh has been developing
plans for this theater for a long
, time. He has not entirely settled
on all the details; nor the time
when work will start. He has,
however, settled-on the fact that
he will build, and that work will
not be long delayed.
He has also promised himself,
and will assure the people of Sa
lem, that his new theater will be
as fine as can be seen tn Oregon.
; He expects to make it large enough
to sat 1250 people, or more.- The
frontage of his new theater will
be 74 feet. . .

IS CONTESTED
Arguments Opened in Cir

P6RTLAND. May 1. Argu
ments were continued here today
in circuit court in quo warranto
proceedings brought by Dr. Thos,
Ross against John H. Veatch to
determine by what authority the
latter held appointment as a mem
ber' of the state fish commission.
Ross contends that he still legally
is a member of. the commission,
despite -his removal by Governor
Pierce.
Arguments were " based upon
whether the governor had. author
ity to remove Ross and appoint
Veatch. in his place.
John H." Stevenson, attorney for
Veatch, contended the governor
had the right to remove and ap
point a personal appointee by
merely showing ' cause for such
action, 'and that the- court could
not review the action of the governor.;-
- f ;:."
.John. Kaste and W. F. Banks,
attorneys for Ross; asserted that
the governor had no such right
to remove a public office, and that
by declaring Ross out of a job,
and Veatch in to one, had acted
arbitrarily and without any power
vested la his office, and, further,
that it was the duty of the court
to review the nature of the cause
to determine whether it was suf
ficient vto warrant Ross' removal.

standstill and Salem's quota to
