Songs.

The program for the Graham con-
cert for this evening at the Hawaiian
Opera House has been pronounced Dy
local musicians TO be the most care
fully selected and we'll arranged of any
that has been presented TO the Homo
lulu public for a long time. The Sc
lections are in the main new and of a
character to be appreciated by lovers
of good music. Perhaps the most ia
miliar to a Honolulu audience is An
swer," which will be sung by Mr.. Gill
lig, but it is one of the sweetest of
ballads, and as sung by Mr.. Gillig, will
be particularly pleasing.
Nine. Breitschuk Marquardt, the
celebrated harpist, is down for two So
los, and in addition will accompany
the bep ~fciary, Mr.. Graham, in one Of
his songs. Nine. Marquardt has been
heard here before and her capabilities
are well known.
Jessie Reeve AXtell, Honolulu's ia
vorite contralto, will render, among
other selections, Gounod's Ave Ma
ria" Miss AXtell has been often heard
in the church choirs here, and occa-
sionally in concerts, but it is doubtful
if she has ever appeared here under
the same favorable circumstances as
she will tonight.
Mr.. Graham had very satisfactory
rehearsal yesterday afternoon and feels
assured that the concert will be both
an artistic and financial success. The
seats are selling rapidly and everything
is encouraging to him. The songs he
will sing tonight are the best in mis-
repertoire, and he has never been N

After an illness of but few days,
Jasper Stone Sprague died at his home,

The deceased came to Marietta at the

WEEKLY OIL REVIEW.
All Indications Point to Quiet winler
in the Drilling Line.

PITTsBURe, Nov. 81. This is ideal
weather for the oil man, and the time
he usually hustles around to get ma
terial out to the field for winter opera
tions before the roads get into almost
impossible condition. The roads are
in fairly good condition, but there is
no hustling and no general movement
in anticipation of bad roads. Unless
all signs fail, the presen: winter will
show lighter field operations than for
many years.
In the past operators have drilled
themselves poor during period of de-
preston. They were not content to
see their production decline If they
had the territory to hold it up and
pushing the drill would accomplish the
purpose. BY nursing" his old wells
and declining to drill, the average pro-
ducer finds himself in better condition
financially than during any past de-
preston. He probably has not added
much to his bank account, nor has he

ritory and getting unremunerative
wells. While the stocks were accumu-
lating with wonderful rapidity and the
market falling to a lower level each
week or month, there was an absence
of the customary dissatisfaction and
disposition to lay the blame to any
source but the natural one, supply and
demand. Now that consumption is
largely in excess of production, there
is a universal feeling of hopefulness
for an early advance in the price of
crude. A little furry in the certificate
market during the past week was in
some quarters regarded as favorable
indication for an early appreciation in
values.
