Airplane Delivery for Portland Journal For the first time in the history of Salem, copies of the IHrtland paper were delivered by airplane Friday, the hydroplane "Seagull" bringing the Portland. Journal to Elks convention. The Journal has - already demon Ktrated beyond question the feasibility vt newspaper delivery by the air routes lo the bpHches and this new ervice to Salem, the first of its kind yet at tempted In the Willamette valley, point j lo the great field of develop ment awaiting ahead. The airplane company has already surveyed the landing facilities up- the valley and fut along the Columbia river, and has found them suitable for the water fcoat n most of the larger cities. Janet Young and Moroni Olson Please In Play . For the first time in the history of the local Chautauqua a play was billed to appear among other attractions In the big brown tent. And while most of the other attractions assembled have been specialists in their line, no one ever though . that the players would be of such superior quality as they were. . . It is believed thatn o one went from the tent last night after hearing the play "Kindling," feeling that the Maurice Browne players are not equal to many of the very best companies found in our larger cities. The gen eral comment after the perofrmance was: "Well, thatp lay was worth the price of my Chautauqua ticket," and 'There was osmethlng in that play that will preach a sermon to me as long as I live." .' . A young couple " walked from the tent arm In arm In silence. Presently the man spoke: "Say-Anna, I think we don't want to move to San Fran cisco and bring up our little ones there in the slums of the over-crowded city; I'm for hunting up a farm and living as mother and dad did. ' Let's give our kids the same chance for health and good strong bodies that our folks gave us." The play was a sympathetic study of the terrible poor who are found In the tenament districts of our large cities. It depicted them in their unsanitary conditions, visited and offered charity by members of the "terrible ncn who It was discovered owned these these conditions a few months of lit and then death she resolve'd to get away from the city, and to establish a new home somewhere away out on the prairies of the big west. She had heard how the children thrived and grew when born and reared in the pure air of the prairies. Her one aim was to scrape enough money together to buy the tickets to Wyoming, jsut now was she to do it on half nay and her hus band out of work? Well, this Is the studv of the play. And It was upon this theme that the play was devel oped. The wife stole a broach which was pawnedt o get the money to buy the tickets to Wyoming. To use her own words: "Oh. Hiney, I didn't steal the money, it ain't no crime what I've done. I've only taken what I ve earn ed and thev didn't pay me. When they keeps us in a house what's so bad that no one can stay there long and live. I'll tell you the rents they collect Is blood money, and when they in the name of chartiy employ me at half pay, I'll tell you Hiney they're keepin what's mine, an' I took it, that s an. It ain't no crime Hiney fer a mother to give her kid what ain t born, a decent chancet o live is it? An' I wanted to sref awav from here. I want to go where we can have pure air to bring up. our baby." Jannet Young played the leading role. She appeared as the young wife, while Moroni Olsen took the part of the young husband. They were well supported by an able cast. Miss Young is a rising actress and we predict that some day in the near future she win write her name high among others of histrionic ability. Mr, Olsen shared equally with her In ev ery way. Four members of this company were appearing Just before the Chautauqua season in the notable production of Euripidies "Meanden," which is being given at the Garrick theater on Broad way, New York. These were Janet Young, Maroni Olsen, Leah-Marie Minard and Bryon Foulger. Mr. Foul ger played the part of Rafferty, the detective in "Kindling" last night and seldom are characters better depicted than was Rafertyf as given by Mr, Foulger. The play was produced under Mo roni Olsen and directed by Maurice Browne of the little theater fame of Chicago. Pep Measured In Cash Would :, Make Eugene Rich It pep made millions. Eugene would be the wealthiest city in the world, in the opinion of Salemites. That is, if the rest of the poplace of the Lane county city may be judged by the delegation of Elks attending the con vention. Perhaps no aggregation has suo- ceded in stirring up more excitement than the Eugene band. Apparently they are tireless.'. It is doubtful if heat o' the sun, or the stormy winter rages' could have any errect upon their spirits. For proof, ask the nun dreds whd were kept from slumber until 4 o'clock this morning by the gang from Eugene. Ask the hundreds of others who were serenaded by tne same group all forenoon.
