spoke on The Value of the Advertising
Agency to the Publisher" The writer had
other engagements and did not attend this
meeting and the Portland dailies of Saturday
morning did not report it. 1t seems, however,
that something might be said on "The Value
of the Publisher to the Advertising Agency"
1t is of no use to try to get the publisher and
the agency together, until the agencies-some
of them, at least-mend their ways. When
they get up advertising schedules so intricate
and involved that they may be interpreted in
two or three different ways, with the evident
intention of getting space free by claiming
wrong insertions, and when they refuse to ac-
cept insertions because electrotypes furnished
by them do not show up as clearly as they
think they should, and when they hold up bills
rendered, some times formonths, it is hardly to
be expected that the publisher will regard
them with brotherly love, or be specially
anxious to secure their business. Indeed,
many publishers are limiting their agency busi-
ness and some would like to cut it out alto
gether. This, of course, is not true of all
agencies, but it certainly is true of some.

city in this country might feel proud. The
new county court house, just completed, and
which has been in course of construction for
nearly five years, will be occupied this week.
The building, which is three stories in height
with basement and SUBJ basement, occupies the

bury and Church streets, and is constructed of
North Jay granite. The Federal street facade
with its main entrance and columns of pure
doric gives the keynote to the grandeur of the
entire structure, and from every external view
it satisfies the most critical taste. The exte-
rior is of the Greek Doric order, which, un-
adorned, is most adorned. The cost of the
building was about S85O,OO0, and the furnish
ings and extras will bring the total close to
round million. The heavy bronze doors at the
main entrance alone cost $4,000. The main
hallway is beautiful in design and striking in
its general effect, and the grand stairway in

The MERRY
COBBLER
WAS FINE
THE VERY BEST OF THE MANY
ANNUAL PLAYS GIVEN BY THE
COLLEGE OF ORATORY DREW
LARGE AND 'APPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT.

The annual play of the College OF
oratory, "The Merry Cobbler" given
! last night at the opera house was
the biggest success of the year. The
acting was good and the play went
off without a hitch. Perry Reigle-
man playing the main part, did some
of the cleverest amateur acting that
has bees seen in Salem for many
day. AS a jovial young German,
Reigleman is as natural and as
much at home as though he himself
were one and shows a cleverness in
heavy situations that would recon-
mend him in any company. Miss
Bertha Gross, as Stella Derrom, the
heroine, was exceedingly good and
carried off the love scene with
marked success. Besides ability
Miss Gross has a beauty and charm
combined with a fine stage pres
ence" which renders her extremely
fitted to carry the part of an attrac-
tive and beautiful Southern girl

dowed Irish lady" Mrs. Rafferty,,

the house every time she appeared,
by her clever and comical acting
Miss Louise Thompson in the role
of "Rosalie," the banana girl, proved
herself to be born actress, by the
clever way in which she carried off
most difficult part.
The play was big hit and all who
took part in it deserve great credit
for their excellent work. The child
ren's scenes were especially good,
and they are worthy of especial
mention, for while they were only in
the 'minor" parts, the perfection of
their work was the oil that made the |
larger parts move without creaking
Those who took part were:
The little friends of the Merry Cob
bier were: Baby Ruth, Flossie Irma

ington; Dorothy, Verne Powers;
Flossie, Odell Savage; Ollie, Florence

STRIKE
CAUSES BIG LOSS
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.1

Portland, Ore, June 2.-The
draymen's association voted today to
stand out against the demand of
striking team drivers for an increase
of 25 cents a day in the wage sched-
ule. Employers admit that the sit
uation is really serious, incoming
freight is piling up at the freight de-
pots.
Great losses in perishable fruits
are reported.
All barns belonging to members
of the draymen's association were
picketed today by strikers. No
driver, union or non-union, was al
lowed to work. Union headquarters
assumed the appearance of an army
post, with reports coming in from
all parts of the city every hour and
rigid discipline enforced.
Employers are making an effort to
rent out their teams provided driv-
ers are furnished by the renter.
This is opposed by the team drivers
union. Announcement was made
that teams must not be worked or
evasions of any kind employed mas
much as such a condition would be
construed as efforts to defeat the
purpose of the strike. Employers
through representatives called upon
Chief Cox to have emergency police
ready upon call providing a decision
was reached to continue work.

For Using Bad Language.

Complaints were filed this after
noon with Municipal Judge Moores
by District Attorney McNary in be-
half of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company against Robert
Brown and Harvey Henlia, charging
them with the using of insulting and
abusive language in the presence of
ladies and other passengers on the
railroad company's cars.
The complaint against Brown
charges him as having violated the
city ordinance on this subject on
May 81, while on board one of the
company's cars running north. That
against Henlia alleges that he vio-
lated the ordinance on May 81. The
ordinance under which they are be-
ing prosecuted is that which grants
to the company a franchise to con-
duct a street car business in the
city, and provides for its violation
penalty in the way of a fine of not
less than $5 nor more than $25, or
Imprisonment in the city jail not to
exceed 10 days, or both.
The company has received many
complaints lately to the effect that
certain passengers on it's care were
in the habit of using insulting Ian
guage in the presence of women and
other passengers, and the company
with a view of putting stop to the
practice has decided to hereafter
all vio1ators of the ordi-
nance.
