1t did not seem as if he overestimated the
performances, for even to the less critical
ear the attack of both male and female
members, the volume and quality OF
voice. and the attention to the crescendoes
and diminuendoes, those crucial tests of
the years work, were very marked. The
great artists were warmly welcomed by
the chorus as they took their places. ana
they received generous recognition for
their splendid work. They were evident

each other, and showed what thorough
training they had been through. 1t
seemed natural to see DIR. Wasgatt, the

THE PUBLIC REHEARSAL.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Chapman, gave
public rehearsal of the evenings pro-

hearers with the celebrated "Mad Scene"
from Lucia. " The great auditorium
was more than half filled with most
sympathetic and enthusiastic audience,
for they applauded the various numbers
heartily.
OF course the great event was the ap-

A Splendid Audience Listens to Most
Bril liant Programme.
Monday evening the initial performance,
the long anticipated concert, the grand
Wagner evening of the Maine Musical
Festival was given in our fine auditorium,
with a power and brillianoy which augurs
most favorably for the success Of the I'M
dertaking.
Certain things Of this world are always
with us, others, like Christmas and the
Maine Musical Festival, come but once a
year, and when they come we should be
found ready, waiting, eager to welcome
them.
There is no question but that the people
of Portland realize fully what Mr.. Chap
man is doing for this city as we'll as our
state, and are ready to sustain him with
their time, strength and money. This
was proven by the large audience that at
tended the afternoon rehearsal, The audi

proved that our people appreciate Mr..
Chapmans efforts in giving them such
rich musical feasts.

From the Far West.

Mr.. Editor-The principal excite
ment of Northern Idaho, is mining at
the present time. The Idaho District,
from all indications, is a richer gold
country than the Klondike, says the
Spokane Chronicle. While the great
excitement in mining circles this year
centers in Klondike and Alaska, it is
nevertheless a fact that within com
paratively few miles o. Harpster, Ida,
there is mining district that is fast
developing into a veritable Klondike
itself, but which is overlooked by the
vast majority of those who are SO
eager for gold.
Those who are interested in mining
here are satisfied with the outlook for
the future and have no desire to join
the foolish rush to the Klondike. The
region which will soon attract wide at
tention among mining men and capi-
talists commences near Florence. so
miles south of Harpster, and extends
south and east, taking in Elk City.
Dixie, Warrens, Florence and the
Seven Devils country. 1t is wild
and rugged country, far from railroad
transportation, but whose mineral
cannot fail to attract within short
time one of the large. .trans-continental
lines that pass both to the north and
the south of this section.
