LEASE AWARDED.
W. p. ADAMS OF PORTLAND GETS NEW
OPERA HOUSE FOR Two YEARS.
Bids for Furnishings Taken Under ADVISE
ment BY Chemeketa Lodge at Last
Nights Meeting.

W. P. Adams Of Portland will be the
lessee Of the new opera house for two
years, unless something unforeseen inter.
feres, his bid being $1,000 per year.
At its meeting Wednesday evening
Chemeketa Lodge No. l, 1. o. o. con-
sidered the propositions Tor the lease OF
the house which we're reported by the
building committee, and it was decided
to award the lease TO Mr.. Adams pro-
vided that he would agree TO certain
minor details which the lodge wished
inserted in the contract, Mr.. Adams is
a stranger in Salem, but it is said that
ne has been connected with the man
agement of the Marquam Grand in
Portland for several years and is well
versed in the ins and outs Of the the.
atrical business.
1t is said that his bid was materially
higher than that of Patton Bros. who
have had considerable experience in the
last few years in wrestling with the
theatrical situation in this city. 1t is to
be hoped that the expectation Of better
patronage for the new theatre than for
the old barn, in which the Salem public
has spent so many comfortless hours,
will not be disappointed.
The Salem public would have liked to
see Patton Bros. get the house, but the
new man will not be handicapped on
that account. lie will find his efforts
appreciated and met in the triendliest
spirit.
Patton Bros, had already secured 9
number OF contracts with leading com
panies, conditioned on getting the house
These will now, Of course, be void.
rumor has arisen that in getting thes
contracts Patton Bros, were trying t
get some kind of corner on the situa
ton but there is absolutely nothing il
this. In order to secure good attraction
contracts must he made q long tim,
ahead, so Patton Bros, were merel!
using business foresight, and the com
| panies are now released.
Bids for the furnishing Of the theatr,
were also considered by the lodge, an,
taken under advisement, quite lot o
samples having been submitted.

in the proceedings against the Mayor,
the Dock Commissioners and Charles w

Ice Company, which he had obtained
from President Morse, some OF it in ex-
change for stock in the knickerbocker
Ice Company. Of Maine
did YOU purchase all this stock sub
seouently to becoming Mayor of the
city?" Mr.. Van Wycl1 was asked.

why did you purchase stock in the
Knickerbocker Company?
Because it was paying per cent. on
common and 6 per cent. on preferred
stock.

know that the American Ice Company
intended to do business in New York

check on the Garfield Nationa Bank and
