MUSICAL MENTION.

A quartet of young girls Of South
Lincoln between the ages OF sixteen
and eighteen, has been trained for the
mast wear by Mrs. S. b. Holman.
They call themselves the ''FTaulein
Choir" and sing with freshness and
sweetness only possible to the very
young. Musical culture and finished
vocal method afford feeling Of salts
faction. but not that sympathetic
thrill Of pleasure caused by youths
unconscious sweet notes.
The favorable impression produced
by Mrs. Hadden-Alexander at the
May Festival was only deepened by
her piano recital at the First COngrc-
gational church on Friday evening.
The audience included most OF the
musicians of Lincoln who listened
with delight to her brilliant and in
telligent Interpretation OF the works
OF the modern composers. Mrs. Had
den-Alexander is a natural exponent
OF the romantic school. Her warm,
poetic temperament finds its best ex-
preston i'm the beauty of imagery OF
the wierd tone poems Of today.
To great dramatic power she added
a velvety delicacy Of touch and has
the qualities and technique Of great
artist.
As a preface to each number Mrs.
Alexander gave a few explanatory
words and proved herself also a charm
ing speaker. The most important
number on the program was MacDow-
ellis sonata Tragica," which had not
before been heard in its entirety in
Lincoln. This difficult and compli-
Gated work was easy OF comprehension
through the clear phrasing and intel
lipent rendition of the pianist. This
Tragedy in Tones" is one Of the
noblest works OF the present day.
Mcdowell has been said to have an
extra-mundanc quality which reminds
one of Shelley. There is no personal
note in this Sonata. In its themes
and their treatment there is breadth
of tragic passion which gives to the
whole that universal character de-
manded by true dramatic art. The
,sints are general; they voice the

TO UNITE GLEt CLUBS
Consolidation Movement on
Foot in Butte.
MORE GOOD MALE VOICES
A Chorus of Fifty Could be Raised
Easily-It Is Proposed to Compete
Next Year at the Eisteddfod
at Salt Lake.

There IL a movement on foot, the OBJ
ject of which is to effect a consolids-
ton of the male singing clubs of this
city into one great male chorus, and
the prospects are that the W % largest
clubs will be united. perhaps this week.
There is no doubt that there are more
good male voices in Butte for its size
than anywhere else in the West. This
may be largely due y the fact that
in a mining community men grow big.
They are strong and hearty and have
good lungs. Whatever the reason may
be it is a fact. There are several SPLEEN
did singing clubs in Butte. and II they
were only consolidated there would be
a resulting aggregation that would
soon become famed all through the
West.
The matter of consolidation was first
suggested when three singing clubs of
male members volunteered their serv-
ices for the Fourth of July celebration.
The idea struck some of the leading
members of these clubs that here were
three clubs. all good. volunteering TO
sing at the same exercises, and II each
of these could make a good showing,
TOY much grander a performance could
be given IL the club were %consoli-
dated.
The three clubs which have volun-
teered to sing on the Fourth are the
Silver Bow Glee club. the Ce~nterville
Glee club and Professor Firch's Glee
club. The proposition has already been
made for the consolidation of the Sill
yer Bow Glee club, of which Alfred
Paynter is leader. and the Ce~nterville
n .N.t - -rLNaL I, De-
netts is leader. They would make a
club together of 30 splendid male voices.
Firch's Glee club would add probably
10 more, and besides these three clubs
there are numerous good male quar-
tettes in various parts Of the city. So
that without doubt a male chorus of 30
good voices could be effected.
The main object of those who favor
this consolidation is that Butte may
compete next year i'm the Eisteddfod
at Salt Lake. Invitations have been
extended to Butte to compete. hut IL
is too late to get a Clu of sufficient
numbers i'm shape for this year. But
by organizing now the club can be well
trained by the time of the Eisteddfod
next year. and there are lots of people
In Butte who are willing to wager that
so male voices can be selected in Butte
which. when well drilled, will beat any
chorus of the size that has yet sung In
Salt Lake. The Boston and Montana
band carries off the palm down there
i'm the way OF instrumental music,
bringing back honor to Butte and Mon
tana. Equal credit can be gained in
the way of chorus singing. Butte un-
doubtedlv a he voices. II is only
necessary To get them into one organ
ization and drill them. A meeting OF
musicians is to be held this week. al
which this matter will be thoroughly
talked over.

The Legal Status
Of Water Rights
/ + + RI + + + + + i.i-s

The wealth OF Southern California is
based on the use of water for irrigation
purposes. Probably ninety per cent in
value of the crops of this section is depend
ent upon the artificial use of water. The
old Mexican laws recognized the use of
the waters of the streams and the right to
such use was recognized as property--the
right could be transferred from one to an
other as land was transferred
Under Mexican management land was
cheap. and so was the water. There was
more water to be used for irrigation pur-
loses than there was land under Irrigation:
and there was more OF both land and water
than there was of people. The bitches or
zanJas were rudely constructed, and the
water was wastefully used
when American enterprise and Amrcan
ingenuity and American greed for gold
and silver-took possession of the country.
then commenced an era of wonderful de-
velopment
Under Mexican management this was a
pastoral country, and its wealth consisted
chiefly in its horses, cattle and sheep.
Under the new American management
Its wealth consisted Of agricultural and
horticultural products, Its factories and It's
commerce.
AS more people came here to settle land
became more valuable and so did the
water. There being practically an un-
limited amount of land and limited
amount of water. the water increased in
value more rapidly than did the land. for
the man who controlled the water could
always find land to put 1t on, but the man
who owned the land could not always find
water to put upon it..
A rancher near Downey said twenty-five
years ago that his ranch was worth one
hundred dollars per acre; that is, his land
