81 Bert M. Bowers stories in the
Argonaut are always good, and the
one in the issue of April 18th is un-
usually so. "When the Singer Cut
Across" is the title of it, and the
theme is a love-affair, two cowboys
being enamored of one girl. Of
course, only one can win her; and
which one it was, and how 1t was
done, is set forth in a very entertain.
ing fashion by the author. The
comedy vein is happily carried out,
and when the affair borders on
a tragedy the action is quick and
dramatic.

1t was no small compliment to
Corvallis that the Western Academy
of Music should choose a musician
from this city to take charge of its
piano department in preference tc
any other pianist in the Northwest
And it is high testimonial to the
ability of Mr.. Goodnough that this
leading institution of its kind north
of San Francisco, should offer him
this chair unsolicited. His worth
as a musician is more highly appre.
ciated in Portland than it is in Cor.
Wallis. This little city has con
tributed many stellar attractions to
the world of art, and two Of them
at least, Miss Hoffman and Mr.,
Rosebrook, stand at the very head
of their profession. Mr.. Goodnougt
has exceptional talent and indomit'
able energy, and in few years Cor
vallisites will be speaking of his
achievements with the same pride
that they experience in rehearsine
the successful rise of those who
while here, were considered Gus
pretty good" Mr.. Goodnough viii
