The Kotzsch mar Recital.
To the Editor of the Press:

Editorinlly you have generously and
justly praised the recent Kotzschmnr
concerts. They were conducted on new
lines devised by Mr.. and Mrs. Kotszch-
mar, and the novelty added to their
charm. Besides this feature, however,
it may lie added, that no musical or 9TH
er Itainment offered by our LEGAL
talent, have ever quite equalled these de-
lightful recitals, either in conception or
execution.
The crowded houses and enthusiastic
applause on each evening attested the
appreciation of an intelligent public.
Mrs. Kotzschmar' papers on the use and
progress of music in all depal TN ents
and schools, were remarkably well writ
ten and read as we'll as they were writ
ten. A. DALTON.

To the Editor of the Press:

Although full aud cordially apprecia-
tive notices have appeared in the PRESS
Of tie four lecture recitals recently given
in this city by Mr.. and Mrs. Kotzsch-
mar, tteir very unusual character and
high educational value seem to deserve
a srecial tribute. They have, indeed,
from every standpoint, been most de-
| lightful, Rut it is doubtful whether
those who have SO enjoyel them have
| really compr eEended the amount ana
kind of work which has entered into the
charming programmes which have been
offered. In some Instances the music
which was desiied to represent some
particular period was not forthcoming
st least in any particular shape-and Mr..
Kotzschmar, with his very remarkable
skill, or rather great musical genius,
has arranged the quartette or solo, as
the case might be. We all recall, as the
first CT one Of these arrangements, the
delicious "Phyllis and her mother" of
tie German evening.

the evolution of the national music, in

important things that can be imagined.
TIE average concert is too often more
or less of nuisance, with its lack of
unity, its painful hodge podge of good
bad and Indifferent music, its fine n el0-
dies too often welded to ignoble words
Here there has Ieen a noble harmony,

itself, and also giving a kind OF object

A word of high praise should also be
accorded those who have aided in the
illustrations of these high themes. They
nave all sung simply and without -four
ish or display. When it was their turn
to sing or to play, they came forward
and played or sang without the slightest
attempt at making a "grand occasion. .
1t was as if the dignity and seriousness
of t1e subject they were engaged upon
uplifted them little and made all the
too-common display of the concert room
impossible.
In presenting this series of most val
liable and delightful entertainments, MIR.
and Mrs. Kotzschmar deserve the graft
tude of all Portland citizens who can
appreciate the things of the mind, and
those which make for the uplifting of
the spirit.

Len Henry, a we'll known pioneer,
relates an adventure that is out of the
usual order. He was travelling on q
narrow trail above the raging Grande
Ronde river when he came to a land
slide about twenty feet across, that
left no trail or even q niche In the
smooth precipitous rock. The trail was
SO narrow that the horse could not
turn back. He was trapped. Above
the twenty-foot break In tho trail was
a sharp craig Of overhanging rock. On
his saddle bow was q strong RATA

self upon the saddle, swung the rope
over his head, and hurled it high in
the air. 1t was settled firmly over the
crag. He tied it carefully. 1t was
firm. His saddle was a new and a
strong one, with double cinches.
Around the horn he wound the rope.
He urged the horse on to the edge Of
the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would o step over, Du the rider
drew up the slack and pulled with all
his power. Inch by inch lie drew the
straining horse forward till his feet
slipped and he swung off over the
chasn. The rider held his breath as
he looked at the river below and the
slender rope above, but he was across
the gap. He sprang up the trail and
tugged at the reins to aid the horse in
gaining his feet. He pulled and the
horse lunged up into the trail with the
chasm back behind. Mr.. Henry rode
away and left his rope dangling for
the use Of the next wayfarer who

Broom Corn.

OEOOU =
A broom corn raiser gives the Texas
Stock and Farm Journal his method Of
raising broom corn as follows: Pre-
pare your land IS for corn; plant ut
the same time if the ground is warm;
IL not, wait, as there is danger of seed
rotting in cold, wet land. Plant In
three to four feet rows; plant thick;
thin to an average Of four to six in
the hill. Cultivate as other corn. When
seed Is in milk or dough is the time to
table, which is done by putting Il pole
behind a wagon and bending or break
ing three rows at n time. Cut the
heads off short, about twenty inches
from end to end. Next, haul to the
house and thresh or scrape, which is
done by cylinder, with nails OF spokes
driven in such q manner as to ove all
the space. To make a good clean job
run by horse power; it is better to buy
a scraper made for this purpose. Next
dry in shade and bale for market. The
straw yield on fine straw is from sou
to GOO pounds to the acre. When wo
raised coarse straw the yield was
1000 to LOO pounds per acre, but the
coarse straw is not used now. The
demand is uncertain, and no fixed
price. 1t is now worth about $50 per
ton. l have seen it sell as high as
$500 per. ton. Any good corn land will
make broom corn. The yield of seed
per acre is practically nothing when
the straw is raised for market, except
for a fertilizer.
