which could not be met.
!. Bacharach warmly endorsed the
proposition to organize a society, hav-
ing for its purpose the building Of
number of houses. and he thought the
movement should begin at once.
Jefferson Reynolds urged the need
of better renting houses. He thought
the lack OF attractive residences was
one reason why other towns had
gone by this one.
A. n, Whitmore said the scheme
was not an impractible one and that
an organization. such as was pro-
posed, was just what was needed to
build good houses to replace the
shacks that were now offered to the
public to rent. Mr. Savage had lived

WALLA WALLA'S GOOD BAND
NEW ORGANIZATION MADE ITS
INITIAL BOW TO THE PUBLIC
LAST NIGHT.
Excellent Program Rendered at La
Vern's Theater in an Artistic
Manner-WeII Received.

1t was clearly demonstrated last
| night that this city has a musical or
ganization that will equal any in the
state of Washington, when at LaVern's
recently reorganized, made it's initial
appearance before the public. The
theater was crowded, every seat being
| taken and many persons were COM
PEELED to stand up in the rear of the
auditorium. The musicians comprising
the organization had been given, thor
ough instruction by Professor George
Herbert, the director, and his efficient
| work was evidenced in every number
that was rendered by the band. He
had every man under complete con-
| troll of the baton and ne is receiving
the congratulations of the people upon
the efficient manner in which he hand
led the organization. The program
was made of both heavy and light Sc
| lections, interspersed with characters
tic pieces that appealed to all classes
of music lovers. From an artis-
tic point of view the best number on
the program was the overture "Stra-
della, which was given by the band
| in a manner that showed close appli-
cation and thorough practice on the
part of the individual musicians. Each
number was enthusiastically received
and encores were called for repeatedly.
Another pleasing feature of tine eve
ning's entertainment was the program
| rendered by the augmented orchestra
| which Professor Herbert has formed
from the musicians of the city. Last
night it was composed of Is persons
| and between the acts of the perform
ance many pleasing selections were
given.
Another concert by the band and
orchestra will probably be given at
, the theater next week.
