tinue the sale OF 90 street car tick.

ing before the state public service

Commerce and Commercial Club

Altho the commission ordered the

der was held up on request of May
or Gill and Corporation Counsel
Caldwell. who asked for the hearing
which got under way today
II X. Richardson. superintendent
of the Puget Sound Traction. Light
& Power Co. was on the stand Tues
day.
Richardson testified that the
company had s15.000,000 invested
in properties here. and traction at
torneys attempted to bring out the
testimony to show that they oper-
ated at loss.
When Corporation Counsel Cald-
well and his assistant. Walter
Meier. asked that detailed sp-
praisal figures be presented. the
commission ruled that this would
not be necessary.
This made ii impossible for the
city to cross-eXamine Richardson
on the details. He said three ap-
praisals had been made.

TO sing in public, Nine Melba is as
interested as If she herself were max.
ing her first appearance. She spares
no effort to make the occasion a great
one for the young singer.
A day or so after her return from
America, two students asked her per.
mission to sing at a patriotic concert.
Certainly" was her reply, but you
must come to Coombe and let me help
you with your songs"
The next morning found the two pu.
pills journeying through the fragrant
Australian bush toward Coombe cot.

could look off and see a ring of beauti-
full blue hills. Going into the house,
they had beautiful pictures and curios

Melba sing the role of Mimi, but few
people have heard her explain the mu-
sic. At times she was the teacher, en-
crossed in technicalities, then the artist
became uppermost. and in her desire to
make the student see the beauty of
Puccini's work, she herself sang phrase
after phrase.
After playing through the score and
hearing the two students sing, Nine.
Melba cleared part of the music room
and showed them how to act. For

Her idea was to make the students
think they were really in the theater

singing the part of Mimi the other

thought the most severe critic was seat

they had finished. That's splendid
Now let's go and play" And true to
her word, she took them through the
big open door to the garden beyond
and they spent the remaining time
amid the flowers and trees and other
sights of the estate.
