CONCERT
DELIGHTED
AUDIENCE

The concert by the Williams Jubi-
les singers at the Grand Opera house
last night was given to large and
very appreciatiye audience. The per-
formers kept the house in the best OF
humor interspersed with a great
deal of laughter. The musical num-
bers were all of high order Of ex-
cellence, and the Congregational
Sunday school cleared about $3.50
The rosary as a solo by Mrs, Hack
ley with accomplishment of the en-
tire chorus, was a surprise and has
never been so well sung in Salem IN
the opinion of musical critics, many
of whom were present The har-
mony was perfect, and certainly the
reputation of the colored people for
being musical has not suffered at the
hands of the Williams college aggre-

made, but the committee in charge de-
clines to disclose the exact figures.
To Consider Gas Ordinance.
At the last meeting of the council
there was also introduced an ordi-
nance reducing the price of gas. A
meeting will be held this evening at
the offices sof the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company between the
company's officers and the light COM
mittee and the mayor for the purpose
of considering this question. The
company will probably fight the prop
osition of reducing the price to the ex-
tent that it is reduced, but 1t is under
stood that there is much complaint
made both against the price charged
and the quality furnished, and it is be-
lieved the committee will stand pat.
Occupation Tax Dead.
An ordinance which was under
preparation, and which had for its OBJ
ject the nposing Of an occupation tax
seems to have gone glimmering. So
much adverse criticism has arisen
with relation to 1t that there seems
to be no disposition upon the part of
any of its advocates to introduce 1t,
and it will likely never bob up again
in the council during the present adj
ministration.

The broad stretch of country which

changed from grazing country to
one of farming. The transformation
ha been rapid and amazing and the
change in occupation has been so fast
that population has not kept up with
it, partly due to the lack of adyer-

many men over this section are the
owners of thousands of acres OF land,
