Tie Pfano Recital.

Last Thursday evening, Nor
daunt Goodnough, director OF
the department of music at the
IOAC, gave a pupils recital. A
| good-sized audience greeted the
young people when they assem-
! bled III the chapel. Although
| there are about forty pupils en-
rolled in this department, but
twelve appeared on the program.
Promptly at the appointed hour
the exercises began. The pro-
gram consisted of piano numbers
by various well-known compo-
sers, even including Chopin and
Brahms. The program was rem
dered with a great degree of con-
fdence on the part of the pupils
and during the entire recital no
b1unders were made, which is
somewhat unusual when it is un-
derstood that everyone of the pu-
pills was new to the concert
stage. The audience proved ap-
preciative and they were liberal
and impartial with their ap-
plause. Mr.. Goodnough has
been in charge of the department
but three months and he has
every right, to be pleased with
the performance of his pupils.
He, as we'll as the pupils are to
be congratulated.
Miss Mabel Cronise, vocalist,
assisted Mr.. Goodnough by sing
ing two numbers. Her numbers
were, "Come Jesus Redeemer"
and "Nach Sevilla," and she was
heartily encored, responding to a
recall on one number. She was
in splendid voice that evening
aud fully upheld the reputation
she has gained as vocalist. She
has a sweet voice of unusual
range and technique.
While all of the pupils acquit-
ted themselves in the most cred
liable manner, special mention
is due the playing of Mr.. White,
Alpha Murray and little Miss
Pearl Horner. The little miss,
if she continues to do as good
work in the future as size has in
the past, will develop into a pi-
aniste of great merit.
IL conclusion, we cannot re-
frain from rebuking those WHO
were so ignorant, ill-mannered
and ill-bred as to chatter and
giggle during the rendition o.
several OF the numbers, If the
disturbance was made in spirit
OF pure "cusscdness" the perpe-
traitors should be bastinadoed.
But if, on the other hand, the
party or parties, guilty of this Of
tense, are so ignorant as to know
no better, it is hard to define a
remedy, but to be Oh the safe
side, they might stay at home
next time.

ssOregon Literatnre."

We are in receipt of a copy OF Oregon
Literature, y from the publishers, j. K !.
Gill & Co, OF Portland, which we are
asked to review. John B.. Horner, A.
NJ, Lift. D., professor OF history and lat
in in the State Agricultural College of
Oregon, is the compiler. The edition is
lust from the press and is the second and
larger volume. under the same title by
Professor Homer. 1t contains 253 pages,
is neatly and substantially boand, and
the paper used is of excellent quality.
Numerous half-tones serve to illustrate
and embellish the context. They in
clude group of the five pioneer college
and university presidents-B. L. Arnold,
Sidney H. Marsh, T. F. Campbell, Thos.
NJ. Catch and John W. Johnson; like
nesses of authors, orators and journalists,
who in the opinion of the compiler, de-
serve place in a work on literature, and
upon whom Oregon has q claim.
Various bits OF Oregon scenery add to
the attractiveness OF the volume. Much
taste has been displayed in the selection
and arrangement of the halftones illus
trati2g Simpsons Beautiful VILLAIN
etc." making this the feature of the
book.
Professor Horner has proved himself
an assiduous compiler, and one must ad-
mire the energy, enterprise and industry
he has displayed in collecting the data
contained in his little book, but in ''se-
lecting nuggets midst a Klondyke of
literary gems it is evident that he has
mistaken the boundaries of his claim in
some instances; and his desire to over
lock no specimen of whatever value is
no doubt, for the presence
of considerable mica. We find the title,
"Oregon Literature" therefore, misno-
mer. Much matter in the compilation is
not literature, and many of the writers
quoted can not be claimed by Oregon.
Professor Horner is of atoe-sympathetic
to select 'judicious1y and Sc
verely" where the literary efforts of his
friends are appealing for recognition.
He has given US a readable little book,
and much that it contains posterity will
not willingly let die, bat he has not sue
aeeded in Kidding US of the conviction
that Oregon is too young to have liter
ature distinctly her own, or Of the be-
lief that she has produced more than
three or four writer's whose efforts are
worthy Of serious consideration.

Prof. McKay Visits o. A. G.

Professor G. L. Mckay, head of the
dairy department OF the state agricultur-
al college of Iowa, who came to Oregon
| to attend the Oregon Farmers Congress,
was visitor to the Agricultural College
at this city last week. He was greatly
pleased with the work he saw at the ex-
pertinent station.
Professor Mckay was appointed a
special dairy expert by the United States
Department of Agriculture to visit Ea-
ropean countries il 1900 and study the
conditions OF the dairy industry. He
visited Holland, Belgium, Denmark,
Germany and England, and made full
report of his observations to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. His knowledge of
the subject as gained by his studies in
this country and his special investigation
in Europe make him an authority uusur-
passed by none on this subject.
The absence of extremes of tempera
ture Professor Mckay considers very
great advantage in this state, for obvious
reasons. AS one consequence of the very
| favorable climatic conditions, the season
is very long during which green feed may
be had, and the quantity of forage
plants that may be grown ON an acre Of
ground is probably surpassed nowhere
else The climate, Professor Mckay
says, is much like that of Holland, and
it has been determined that climate has
much to do with the flavor of cheese
The same conditions which give Holland
cheese and the Canadian cheddar cheese
their excellent flavor should also make
Oregon cheese equal to them in this re.
spect.
The fact that peas and barley make an
excellent crop in Oregon leads Professor
Mckay toIhe conclusion that bacon PORK
can be produced here with great success
Speaking on the subject, he said
"There is no question il my miud but
that dairy products and bacon pork ca:
be produced IN Oregon cheaper than il
any other country in the world. l an
deeply impressed with the outlook fol
these industries in this state, favored az
it is by the wonderful advantages Of eli
mate and feed production"

the best IN the market, fer that ProdueeC
