Art Work.

One OF our local artists has hung, for
exhibit only, a landscape work in oil
of a charming bit of mountain scenery.
Ardent admirers of the painter concede
at to be a most finished piece of art
in sentiment, technique and detail Up
din Big Cottonwood gulch there is
short stretch of travel known to every
rambler, camper, and Bohemian outer
as THE Stairs" presumably because the
ascent is gradual and the formation in
stair character. The scene is laid at
this point. Every little familiar token
is embraced in the foreground, associat-
ed with more or less happy or sad re-
membranes to merry picnicers, or
foot-sore prospectors who have passed
the point sore and heaVy-hearted. Ev-
cry well remembered rock, the tinted
foliage, some with a touch of autumn
frost, and some with a golden touch
from the sun. just topping the peaks.
In the background, the old Whitehead
ed Sentinel" stands guard, looking
from a heavenly height to scenes Of
quietness and tranquility. The atmos-
pheric effect is perfect. and the cool
ness of the mountain air fairly visible.
The picture is hung, where it should
be, in the Temple of Music" Dooly
block. Music and pictures are always
associated together; they are practi-
cally inseparable, because the pathos
and sublimity of both reach the soul.
Be it said to the credit of Mr.. Jenkins,

cred and embellished, that none but
regular and constant visitors will rec
ognize the premises at first sight The
hand of the decorator painter and fres-
| coer have been laVishly applied and
the result is a perfect blending of deli
cate and harmonious tints and shades.
1t doesn't often happen that one musi-
cal emporium has the good fortune to
handle, exclusively, all the leading in
struments. The usual rule is to have
as a decoy, some make, pretty well
known. and an endless variety of cheap
| instruments, with the elaborate decor
atoms, and as totally void of volume
and sweet sounds as d washtub. The
situation with Mr.. Jenkins is wholly
reversed. While the list of the Temple

conceded to possess the rare combina
ton of business tact, judgment anC

lculiarly necessary to the musical in

more than half century the peerless
"Chickering' has been capturing prizes

the award was made, it was conceded
that the "Chickering'' was easily j.;
