Within the history of Oklahoma the

The Newest in Columbia Records.
From the Music Trade Review, June 13,
1908.

HrOm TIE MUSIC trade REVIEW, June IL,
1908.
The Columbia Phonograph Co. have
just issued new list of additions to
their catalogue Of records, both GYM
drical and disc. 1t contains all the
latest hits in the instrumental and
vocal field.
They are also calling attention to
new series of high-class records, which
will include classical selections of vocal
and instrumental music and talking
records by artists of reputation. They
have re ady solos and duets in German
by Mia Weber and Sigmuud Kunstadt.
In these reproductions, Fraulein Wer-
ber's pure soprano tones are heard to
great advantage, and all the wonderful
sympathy of Herr Kunstadt's voice is
faithfully preserved. They also have
several violin solos by J.. Kocian, the
celebrated virtuosO. The sustained
tones of stringed instrument are pc
culiarly suitable for Graphophone re-
productions and the b autiful singing
quality of Mr.. Kocians records in char
acteristiC. The French song by Mau-
rice Dec,ery, of the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York are fine ex-
amples of artistic Interpretation and
show the results of long operatic train
ing. Roberto Vanni, in his italian
songs. appeals to lovers of the old
school who appreciate melodic orna-
mentation, and his clear tenor voice is
reproduced with scrupulous fidelity.
The talking records include reproduc-
tions of some of the lines in Rip Van
Wrinkle, by Joseph Jefferson, senior.
The humorous scenes in the mountains,
where Rip encounters one of Heinrich
Hudson's men is constrasted with the
pathetic meeting with his daughter af-
ter twenty years absence. The rec
ords. aside from their dramatic merit,
are valuable as souvenirs of this great
actor, and doubtless will be in great
demand.

BINDING ON NEITHER
MINERS OR OPERATORS IN AN
THRACITE REGION,
Is Decision of Strike Commission, Ac-
cording to Opinion of Pennsyl-
vania Judge.

SUNBURY, Pa, November 12.-Judge
Auten has rendered an opinion in which he
says that in the eyes of the law the deci-
sion of the anthracite strike commission is
not binding on either the miners or the op-
orators. This is the first legal decision on
the subject.
The matter was brought before the court
by the Llwelleyn Mining Company. The
company refused to pay back wages allot-
ted by the strike commission, and the
miners of the Royal Oak colliery brought
suit before Justice of the Peace Lloyd for
the wages. The justice gave Judgment in
favor of the miners.
The company then began mandamus pro-
ceedings against Justice Lloyd, and the
court decided in favor of the company.

Senator Gibson Sees Secretary Hitch
cock About Land Withdrawal.

Senator Paris Gibson of Montana called
at the Interior Department today and had
a conference with Secretary Hitchcock.
Neither the Secretary or Senator Gibson
would discuss the subject of his call. but it
is believed it had something to do with the
recent withdrawal of a large tract of land
frcm settlement in the Teton region. This
land was withdrawn by the land office
Nor day, and is to be used for irriga ton
purposes. The withdrawal deprives cattle
men of an immense range that had former
