La Scala Opera Company Comes To Portland Portland's only opera season sche duled this winter will be the per formances announced by the La Gcala opera company of Hollywood, which will present three nights of grand opera at the auditorium on February IB, 20 and 21. The company has an enviable record of opera producing, having ; already presented more than 600 operatic performances in this coun try. A recent produclon of "Aida" at the Pasadena Rose Bowl attract ed an audience of more than 32,000 people. At that performance Rich ard Bonelll, Metropolitan opera star, was featured, with Pletro Clmlnl, who directed Grace Moore's "One Night of Love" directing. The Portland performances In. elude "Carmen" on February 19, a double bill, "Pagllaccl" and "Cav alierly Rustlcana," on February 20, and "La Travlata" on February 21, A chorus of 100 voices, a symphony orchestra and several outstanding ballets will contribute much to the brilliance and glamour of the sea- ion. Artists already scheduled for the series Include Rudolfo Hoyos, bar! tone of the famous Colon theatre at Buenos Aires; Giovanni Zavattl, young tenor whose voice has been called by orltlcs "phenomenal," and Vlncenzo La Salle, whose work In California has attracted the atten tlon of motion picture producers. At this early date Portland music lovers are demonstrating much en. thuslasm for the coming season of the La Scala opera.

Measles lilt Roicdale Rosedale Mrs. Redfern, who has been seriously 111 was taken to the Balem Oeneral hospital. She Is re ported to be slowly Improving. There has been a case of measles reported In the Rosedale school. Disposal Plant Application Voted Another step towards realization of the long-dreamed-of sewerage disposal plant for Salem was taken last night when the city council authorized Mayor W. W. Chadwick and City Recorder Hannah Martin to sign an- application to the WPA for a grant to cover labor costs on the project which Is estimated to cost a total of close to $400,000. An Interceptor sewer Is included. There was no opposition in the council The WPA has informed the coun cil that the application probably can go forward to Washington next week. The state board of control Is on record approving an expenditure of $50,000 by the state on the pro ject, since the state institutions would be benefited, and it Is as sumed the legislature will back up the board. Mayor Chadwick esti mates that the cost to the city will not exceed (250,000 and If the ne- cessary state support Is given says Commission to Get Bridge Case Proposal will be made to the state highway commission this week by the Marlon and Polk county courts that a bridge be constructed over the Willamette river at Independ ence at an estimated cost of (250,000, half of the cost to be borne by the state and the other half to be re paid by the two counties. Repayment would be In yearly installments of $5000 each covering a 25-year per iod. The payments by the two coun ties would be in lieu of the cost of maintaining the lnter-county ferry now operating at that point with some small accruals from the gaso line tax receipts of the two counties. This was the decision reached at a conference yesterday afternoon between members of the two courts attended by representatives of the Salem-Kings Valley highway assc elation. The afternoon conference was held following another confer ence had by the same parties with State Highway Engineer Baldock In the morning, at which time var ious phases of the bridge situation and Its possible financing were dis cussed. The two counties now expend ap proximately $3700 a year In main taining the lnter-county ferry. They also receive substantial sums from the state in rebates for gasoline re ceipts, Polk county getting between JU,000 and $40,000 a year and Mar ion about $180,000. The chances are considered good for these receipts to ce enhanced rather than dimin ished as times goes on, population grows and gasoline usage increases. The payments contemplated could be made on a sliding scale, It was pointed out, so as gasoline tax re ceipts Increased they could be slight ty larger u desirable. County Judge Hewlett was select ed as spokesman for the delegation to present the proposal to the high way commission at tomorrow's meet ing held In Portland. E. A. Miller, for the Salem-Klngs Valley high way association, will outline argu ments for construction of the pro posed bridge at this time and other oourt members as well as assoclaton members will be on hand to back up the speakers.
