A concert will be given in the near
future by the chorus of 500 voices. which
rendered the choral music at the fifth
concert at the Pension building. in con
nection with the Inaugural ceremonies.
The repetition of this concert is in the
interest of a permanent organization of
the members composing the chorus. If
sufficient interest is manifested by the
public in the movement, it is proba bic
that the organization will be continued.
Great interest on the part of the mem
beers of the chorus is manifested in the
proposal to create a permanent organiza-
ton, and the movement is most popular
among them. Percy S. Foster, director
OF the Inauguration choral concert, ap-
pointed by the Inauguration Music Com
mittee, is the prime mover in the pro-
1ect, and has interested many of the
most prominent people in Washington in
musical circles.
At the approaching concert. the music
rendered during the Inaugural ceremo-
MES will be repeated, with the possible
addition of a few pieces

nearly all parts of the coast, in

To Star id Badger Game.

Fayne Strahan Moore, the
daughter of Oregon's late chief
justice, R. S. Strahan, who has
acquired so much notoriety in
both America and Europe during
the past few years, has been dur
ing the past season appearing at
the Gaiety Theatre, London, TN
der the name of "Madeline Will
son" in Messenger Boy. 1t is
now stated that she is about to
return to America, after dazzling
London and Paris and will blaze
forth in the theatrical world as a
star of more or less brilliancy,
appearing in a dramatization OF
the incidents of her New York
career that gave her SO much
newspaper notoriety, and badger
trial fame.
A deal has practically been
closed whereby she will appear
in this country next season as
star. The managers rely on the
third act o. the lurid nlele.drama
to score its success. In this act
Mrs. Moore, who assumes the
role of an adventures, will
enact as nearly as possible, the
alleged badger game, OF which
the late George c. Mahon eem.
planned in court.

Bicycle paths will this year be
used only by wheelmen who are
willing to pay tax Of 81 towards
their maintenance. This is the
latest construction placed upon the
law enacted by the state legislature
at it's late session. While the law
was passed too late to permit of the
path levy, the provision Of the act
restricting the privileges Of bicycle
paths to those who pay the tax is
plain. There is no question about
this feature of the law, and cyclists
know that their use of paths with
out the payment of the 81 tax lays
them liable to prosecution. The
sheriff is allowed nothing for col
lecting these taxes, nor are his
deputies allowed anything for max
ing arrests for violations. A penal
tv of SIS is in store for those viola
tiong the law.

FROM the Philippines.

Jesse B. Lawrence, of Eugene,
now a bugler of Co. K, 35th U.
S. Vol. Inf, now in the Philip
pine islands, has written quite
letter to the Eugene Guard for
publication. The writer stated
that many Of the natives of the
islands would like to assume
friendly relations with the Amer
leans, but did not dare to as they
feared their own people. We
print the following extract from
the letter:
In the towns that l have been
during the last dry season, many
natives have expressed a desire
to help Americans. However,
most of them do not come out
openly, yet there are some who
de. I suppose the public in gen.
eral often wonder why it is that
the instruction still continues
with such force. This can easi-
ly be explained. The present
forces, except in few cases, are
moi found under arms. The guns
are safely hidden in rice paddles,
swamps and bamboo thickets
until an attack is planned. Then
the natives, or soldiers, uncover
their weapons and assemble at a
specified place, which is always
under cover. So you can see
that our forces are kept at a very
great disadvantage. Without the
aid of a few natives, who can go
among the insurgents lines and
learn their moves, Or places of
cencealment of guns. we are en-
tirely ignorant Of their where.
aL0uts. Only during the past
few months have we had such
natives. Wonders have been
accomplished, too. If this new
Filipino army can be organized
it will do moro than the entire
American forces. At the present
state of affairs a native that turns
traitor to his people is very apt
to come up missing some morn
ing.

A c v or two ago good farmer
arc his wife came over from
Lin county to do some trad
ing, They had a basket con-
tainlng twenty dozen eggs. The
gentleman went into a certain
business house and, asked the
price of eggs. On learning what
he could get per dozen he passed
out, stating that he would see
his wife and ascertain what she
thought about it. Time passed
and he did not return. The
merchant was busy and soon for
got the farmer with the eggs, or
concluded that his wife had made
up her mind to trade elsewhere.
Later it was learned that he had
climbed into the wagon to get
the eggs, and in moving about,
unmindful of the frailness of
Linn county egg shells, had put
one of his No. los into the
basket. CONSERVATION and con-
fusion reigned for a briet time.
His boot looked as though he
had stirred a cake with it. Like
the Arabian merchant he had
,,put his foot in it." No further
business was done that day and
the farmer and his wife drove
home in silence.

The Western Hills.

A gentleman was up from Sa-
lem a few days ago with a view
to securing an option on the out
put Of the apple orchards during
the coming season. He stated
that he had just been over on
the west side of the summit of
the Coast range of mountains.
While over there he visited the
Bristow apple orchard near Sum-
NIT. He was delighted with
samples of last years crop, and
stated that he had never seen
finer Baldwins. These apples
were reported to be firm m-rneated
and free from worms, and such
deep red color that they almost
looked black. The gentleman
was quite enthusiastic in his
praise of the country lying on
the western slope of this range
OF mountains the entire length
Of the Oregon coast and pre-
dicted that some day it would be
the greatest apple-producing sec
ton in the state.
Few people realize what these
ranges will look like twenty-five
years hence. Much of the tim
Der will have been cut away by
the large numbering companies.
In fact there is unusual activity
ameng numbering men at the
present time to secure timber
rights. They will help in a
large measure to clear up the
land, which will then be taken
in hand by the agriculturists,
horticulturists and dairymen.
1t will be an even break between
the horticulturists and dairymen
who will take this section in
hand. The man who secures
a homestead in these Coast
ranges will never have cause to
regret such a move.
