The director of the rliorus. Professor Kmory V. Hohnon. dean jof the school of music, performs-a-service that 'can scarcely he appreciated when he present!! to the public a singing1 body which seord such a success as that which the club achieved last night. The theater was packed for the event and the program, with the addition of many encores, was al most doubled in length so it was a poor ;Scotchman who didn't get his money's worth. ,Tbo program opened with that masterful composition of Mallard, "Sword of Feirarra," which few clnbs hare ever sang ranrc success fully.. ' . r Donald Craven, tenor,-whose voice has won much favor in tb lafltew years, was in excellent form last night for the plaintive, tender's ppul or '.Spirit Flower." (O.TJpton). Mr. Cravnn respond ed with .the encore. "It Is Morn ing," which set the pace of the program. J j Cad man's "At i Dawning" j was ung with the sympathy thajt at: tended the -ntir pt-rformamje, S bu man's stirring number j"Tho Two tirenadiTs."; wars thrivingly rendered by Lfoyd Thompson, basso. j Th quartet was welcomed in a burst of applause, when the1 four sang "Massa of de Sheepfold," a negTo spiritual, and followed! with the ver-beautifiij' tnelodyi ofj "Ab sent." i ; William Wright, tenor, whose excellent stag presence elevates any exceptional voice to real snlen dor. sang "A Little Brown Bird Singing" with fine effect.

The, duet. ."Joshua Fit' the Rat tle of Jericho." was enthusiasti cally received and again it took the antidotes of encores to quite the audience. A popular Willam ette song carried much appeall Paul Trueblood's readings were received with as much favpr as the songs which scored so well. The clever skit staged during the intermission was an uproarious contribution to a highly successful program which formally closed the season of, the club.

A snappy dress rehearsal took place last niKht and those who shared in the pre-yiew were great ly impressed by the dramatic zeal with which the amateurs put the plot across. Phillip Barrie is the author of the three-act drama, one of the best the high school has ever secured for presentation. This is only the second time the play has been giren in the northwest. The first time was at the Wash ington hip;h si hool in Portland last year. The , brightest candle of tho whole performance is, of course, the leading lady. Katherine Elgin, a very winsome blonde, who makes a sporting bet that motivates the entire drama. Miss Minnie Shrode is excellent in the role of Mrs. "Winslow. the widow of a prominent and influ ential citizen. Her poise and ease of manner are dfstinctive. The impetuous, sensitive Rich ard, "the youngest." who carries the title role, is a true "find" in th field of amateur dramatics. He acts with a glow of feeling that comes from :i fine instinct for character woi kj. I'rlin Page and Uobert Shattuc. as Mark and Oliver, respectively, are immensely essential to the un folding of the plot. As elder brothers they exhibit their station in quite a peerless way. Harold C'olgan. as Allan, is a capable law yer at hand for more than one emergency in the tumultuous t curse of an excellent play. Julia Currie. as the decisive, iuxury-loving Augusta, is a supe rior addition to the cast. Her enunciation and facial mannerisms quickly and clearly convey her status in the family. Lois Burris as Muff, fills a second "sisterly" role with a keen feeling for a highly charged plot. Miss Florian hlrubetz. as Katie, in trim black satin and frilly apron bridges many gaps and leads the family smoothly from one scene tq another. While her part is an rnobti'usive one. it is far too well done to be called minor. Both the t.tage sets and the cos tumes are appropriate and unusu ally effective. The coach. Herman Kerhli, has brought the annual senior play to a stage where, when it is finally presented tonight, it may well be classed with the best Uhe school has ever offered. "Gold Hill Champlin placer ground on Foots creek leased for immediate work. his own experience as a grower. An increase of one cent in the tariff is all that is possible until a jiew law is enacted. The present tariff is two cents a pound, and the .president Is empowered to in crease this 50 per cent on the recommendation of the tariff com mission. The present investiga tion must include an inquiry into the costs of production and. selling prices in the competing countries, and a decision may be announced in May. Hogg's figures showed that the cost of reproducing present or chards in this vicinity would be SO&o an acre. He contended that H per cent would be a fair return in interest on so hazardous an occupation as cherry growing, pointing out. that federal and state farm loan boards will not make loans on cherry orchards he cause of the uncertainty of a re turn on the crop. Costs Shown High It requires 0 to 12 years for a cherry orchard to come into full bearing, and its life is 20 years. Average production over a five year period has been lOOti pouuds to the acre, it was shown. Main tenance costs average S3 5 an a re, and a fair return to the operator above the cost of lahor was fixed at S10 an acre. The cost of pick ing and marketing is nearly 1 cent not counting the 2 cents a pound paid the pickers. Taxes on cherry orchards average 1 an acre. td HkH--the- Klops IiuHiigleVee was swept away by the current of the Mississippi river today. Judge It. C. Trimble told the Associated Press tonight. - .

Cuthberjt heads the publicity bureau of! the Portland chamber , of commerce, facing every day they problem of broadcasting Oregon's bright points to other states. "No matter how badly we want new industries we are not going to get them until our present ones are boosted and advertised as profitable and well managed con terns, which most of them are, or additions to the payroll of our state will be scarce," said Mr. Cuthbert. Del Monte. Heinz, and Sunkist products were mentioned as prominent examples of what directed advertising campaigns will do for such firms. Tho dairying and poultry indus tries have been scratched only on the surface in the state. Roth offer unlimited possibilities for increas ed revenue if advertising is re sorted to. The speaker pointed out that 17G cities spent $8,300,000 in self advertising last year in tho Unit ed States and of this amount only $:!.r.00o was spent in Oregon. All of that amount was expended by the 1'ortland chamber of com merce. Iast year lO.'.OOO tourist auto mobiles brought approximately $2,000,000 into the state, accord ing to the files in Portland.
