servatory OF Music occurred on Monday
evening at the Funke opera house. An
interesting program was we'll rendered.
The Philharmonic orchestra under the
baton Of Professor Oren +. Locke, dir.
ector OF the conservatory, played three
numbers, besides accompanying vocal
solo and pianoiorte concerto. The

Professor Locke and his efficient corps
Of teachers are doing excellent work and
the people OF University Place and OF
