The number of letters Of inquiry re-
ceived by our local land officials has
increased ten-fold during the past few
weeks. And we might add just here
that, current comment to the contrary,
there are fully two million acres of
government land subjectto entry ir this
district Though most of the desirable
land in this county has been entered.
Hitchcock, Dundy. Chase, Hayes and
Frontier counties, afford many acres
subject to entry. Red Willow also con-
tains many claims that are contestable.
The present facilities for handling
stock are entirely inadequate and put us
at great disadvantage when compared
with provisions made for this important
interest at other and much smaller towns.
The present yard ought to be enlarged
and scales put in, so that the stockmen
on the Willow wha sells a small bunch
IF beeves to. Que of cur butchers will
not be compelled to drive to Culbertson
to have them weighed and driven to this
point Enlarged stock yards would be
great acquisition and advantage to our

Ed. TRIBUNE Can you inform US
why the contract for furnishing mater

to the highest bidder, Mr. j. F. Collins,
for 75c. per lincal foot, when Rosecrans
& Sons bid was but 70c., and when they
stood ready to give references and bonds
should they be required ? What was
the object in advertising for bids ? Why
should taxpayers be compelled to pay
sc. more per foot than is necessary to
construct said sidewalks ? 1t would
have been officially correct had the diff
ference between the highest and lowest
bids been taken. but we are not certain
that taxpayers will accept this view of
the question. ROSECRANs & Son,

by the Colorado Stock Association at

was the forming Of a higher scale of
prices to govern the amount owners are
to receive for stock, in their different

The scale was incorporated in bill,
which will doubtless become law in

A RemarLable RunawaY

Tuesday noon man from the rural districts
backed his team up to the door OF wholesale
grocery store in order that barrel of flour
might be rolled on. The man and his dog
were sitting in the team, when the horse be-
came frightened and started to run. The
driver took one direction, the dog another
and the horse seeing the open door of Mr.. A.
Il. Stevens iron store, plunged in, dragging
the forward wheels of the cart after him. Mr.
Stevens, who was writing at his desk, heard
the commotion and looked up just in time to
see the horse dash to th g rear of the store,
where he stopped, as he could get no farther
When the horse was embarrassed and the
wheels pushed into the street, it was found
that there was barely room to get them out
How the horse got in without smashing things
generally, is wonder. Six inches to one side
and stock to the value of 500 would have
been greatly demoralized. A scar in the paint
on one of the door posts and the imprints of
the horses iron shoes on the floor are all the
traces of the strange visit. The countryman
was not hurt, and 1t is understood that the dog
escaped without serious injury, although his
vigorous bowling greatly increased the excite

Orange supper and Eu,er,aiumeu,.

The orange supper and entertainment given
BY st. Stephens parish last evening at Y. M.
@. A. hall met with great and deserved sue
cess. The tables were covered with the deli
cacies of the season, and oranges in all possible
forms were everywhere present, and the feast
was abundantly appreciated.
The entertainment, which began at about s
O'Clock, was very enjoyable. The boys of the
Sunday school gave their friends pleasant
surprise by appearing before them as an or
chestra and playing number Of popular airs.
Their selections showed the great possibilities
OF the comb and bones as musical instruments.
The dialogue by five misses from the Sunday
school was prettily spoken. Messrs, Nicker-
son, Corliss, Hoyt and Files, the banjo quar-
tette, played very acceptably and responded to
an encore. Mr.. J. B. Coyle, Jr., sang the "Old
Abbey Bell" in a manner which brought ont
hearty applause. The overture to Zampa was
well rendered by Misses Flagg and Tricksy,
and Mrs. Sawyer, being detained at home BY
illness, Miss Belle Bartlett appeared in her
place and sang two German selections to great
acceptance. Mrs. Doten read an episode in
the war against the Scotch Covenanters with
excellent effect. Mr.. Duncan sang Galatea
and repeated it for an encore. His strong, rich
voice charmed all his hearers. The piano solo
by Miss Hudson, Mr.. Fcgg's whistling and the
banjo duet by Messrs. Files aud Coriss gave
much satisfaction and were literally applaud
cd. Miss Annie Buzzell did not appear on &C.
count of illness.
The entertainment closed With the songs by
the singing sunfowers. On black ground
were painted number of sunfowers, and the
faces OF the singers framed by the yellow
petals made the usually homely flowers appear
pretty. The songs by these very musical flow
ers were charmingly given, and the entertain
ment, which is new to the Portland public,
evidently made an exceedingly good impress

RECOLLE BOTTOMS OF A MUSICIAN.
How Bandmaster Chandler Came TO
Portland,


Yesterdays PRESS, in speaking of the late
musician Mr.. Cyrus Curtis, stated that he was
the means of bringing Mr.. d. FL. Chandler,
the veteran leader and organizer of Chandler's
Band, to Portland. That is true. About a
year or two prior to 1S4S COL Bradley had or
ganized the old Portland Band-which started
out as an organization ia 1S35-into brass
band, but in 1S43 the band was without a lead
er, and needed capable man At a meeting
of the members it was decided to send
Mr.. Curtis 10 Boston to see If he could get q
thorough musician for that purpose.
In July, 1913, Mr.. Curtis went to Boston and
had conversation with an acquaintance
there, Mr.. Shattuck, who belonged to the
Boston Band, of which organization Mr..
Chandler was member. Mr.. Shattuck told
Mr.. Curtis that if Mr.. Chandler would come to
Portland he would be just the man, and be
thought he might, because be had decided not
to remain in Boston. The result OF an inter
view between Messrs. Curtis and Chandler re-
suited in The latter coming to Portland that
same month and organizing the band and
making contract with them to re-
main as their leader. From that day Mr..
Chandler became citizen of Portland where
he is SO much respected and where ne has been
the father of band music SO many years. In
1873 Just thirty years afterwards, Mr.. Chandler
formed Chambers Band, and on that account
he and Mr.. Curtis had their first difference
although remaining perfectly good friends
Mr.. Curtis idolizing the old Portland Band, OF
which he was the oldest surviving member,
and thinking Mr.. Chandler ought to remain
with that organization.
Mr.. Curtis played the trombone in the old
band, and was so DESTROYS Of learning the in
srument that, when young man, painter
by trade, he used to mark cut the musical
staff and notes in putty and study the scales
SO that he used to brsg that he knew all his
scales before he could blow note ON his in.
strument. He was a good musician and q
most reliable member of the band.
