The Value of Irritation

Anyone who is incredulous as to
the practicability Of irrigation on a
large scale or as to its value ought to
see what has been accomplished by
means of it in Salt Lake City and
other places where it has been ap-
piled. He would then wonder and
regret why Congress should have
been so slow to act. Within few
years the habitable territory Of the
United States will have been en-
larged by millions of acres.

il is understood that number of the
most prominent singers in the city will
take part.
The new Steinway concert grand
piano purchased by the Music Club ar
rived during the past week and was
placed in the Lawton Memorial. 1t is
handsome instrument, and the larg-
est size made by the Steinways. 1t is
the counterpart of those used here by
Carreno and Holman, and there is
no finer instrument made in the world.
1t will be used for the first time next
Thursday night. Along with it the
Messrs. Steinway shipped one of their
handsome insulated piano benches as
a gift to the Music Club. Several of
the members have already tried the
piano and are thoroughly pleased with
1T. This is the first time in the history
of the club that the use of a new
piano has been had, and it will be a
great pleasure as we'll as a relief TO
players and listeners alike to have a
really first class instrument for the
concerts.

of Mr.. A. c. Meyer, will appear at this
meeting, and as business engagement
may occupy him on Thursday evening,
the meeting will probably be held the
next evening instead. The orchestra
has become one of the most attractive
features of the club, and a large audi
ence will undoubtedly be present.
Work is now in progress on the or
gan in the Lawton Memorial, which
will put it in good shape once again.
For some time it has been in such
condition that it's use has been made
almost impossible. In connection with
the work that is being done Col. A. r.
Lawton has given instructions to have
it tuned to the pitch of the new Stein
way piano of the Music Club, so that
the two may be used in connection
with each other. Very interesting and
delightful numbers could be given by
the solo pianists of the club in the
shape of concertos with orchestra ac-
compartment played on the organ. A
number of this sort will in all prob
ability be arranged as soon as the work
on the organ is completed.

AT THE THEATER

Grosvenor transplants the young
country girl to his city home, where
experience soon develops her into
one of the leaders of fashion. She
grows to love her husband, and old
man Holcombe is content with his
peaceful life in the country. All goes
we'll until a fateful night when Mr.
and Mrs. Grosvenor attend a tableaux
party at one of their friends man
sion, where Slade is included among
the guests. He has painted a por-
trait of Lois, which has caused con-
siderable gossip. 1t is called "A
Memory" and the fashionable folk
scent a possible scandal. SHADES
meeting with the young wife is the
cause of jealousy in the heart Of the
husband, and when Slade follows the
couple home, and during the absence
of Grosvenor attempts to persuade
Lois to run away with him, the eli
max of the drama begins.
To anticipate the thrilling events
that quickly follow would only mar
the pleasure of the intending auditor.
suffice il to say that eventually all
ends happily, as is usual in all good
plays and stories.
Interspersed with more serious por-
lions of the drama there is a lighter
vein ana a wholesome fund of comedy
