brought folta sincere applause and
he handled the difficult number with
good taste. Miss Myrtle Lee, whose
singing is always welcomed, present
ed the Jewel Song that was beautiful
in effect and her voice touched the
higher passages with a power and
sweetness that was thrilling. Paul
Williams gave a selection on his vio-
lin that was a pleasure to listen to

skillful manner. The interest in the
selections were further heightened
by the reading of the story by Miss

was ably assisted and also at the en-
tertainiuent by Misses Hattie Boice,
Della Sbeaben, Vena Durell. and
Mrs. Becker. The costumes were de-
signed and mostly made by Mrs. Sur
beck and their Appropriateness was
very apparent as the little folks APP
peared i'm their various characters.
There were forty scenes in the play
and all the characters OF Mother
Goose were presented. The opening
scene was the throne Of Cid King
Cole with his two pages and the
court tiddlers, Messrs. Williams and
Hawks, who played a very fine duet.
Miss Lilah Older, as Mother Goose,
made the opening remarks and then
for the rest of the evening she pre-
sented the little characters, reciting
the accompanying verses. Miss Older
wore a very pretty costume and she
presented a charming appearance.
While but little can be made of the
lines of Mother Goose rhymes, yet
She presented them very ~cleve1ly,
with but only a short time to famil-
iarize herself with them and with
the action OF the. play. Special men
tion is due Miss Ella Preston, who
appeared very prettily in the charac-
ter OF Little Bopeep. in which she
sang a solo that was appreciated.
Ernest Just as Simple Simon por-
trayed the character we'll and recited
his selection to the intense amuse-
ment OF all. L. d. Milne represented
the Jolly Miller and sang a selection,
the excellent presentation of which
called for an encore by the audience,
to which he responded. Ruth Turney
sang "You Can't Play" and the
song was portrayed by little Mary
Carlson and Ethel Anderson. All of
the scenes we're presented very nicely
and many Of them are worthy Of
special mention, if time permitted.
Miss Lois Wiltse presided at the
piano during the evening and played
between the short waits.
The entertainment closed with a
grand tableau for all characters in
the p,sy and it made a beautiful
scene the way they we're arranged.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be placed in a special fund for
the purchase Of a pipe organ for the
new Presbyterian church, which is to
be erected soon.

City Hall Tuesday Evening
by Local Talent.

lhe Congregational choir, assisted
by local talent, gave one Of the most
successful concerts at the city hall
Tuesday evening that has been pre-
sented in a long time. The affair
was given under the direction of
Prof. K. u. Otto, the director Of the
choir, and tine program which he ar
ranged and carried through so ac
ceptably was something Of a depart
ure from the usual style. While the
first part was devoted to concerted
numbers. the second part was dis
tinctly new, it being selections from
the four acts Of Faust, which were
participated IN by the chorus ana So
loists. Prof. Otto and his accom-
paniste, MISS Dora Butler, have
worked hard to bring the concert up
to a high standard and both are to
be congratulated ON the splendid sue
cess OF the evening.
Tbe program opened with a harvest
anthem, which the mixed chorus
rendered with fine effect, which was
followed by Misses Christensen and
Walrath and Messers. Daniels and
Peck. who rendered their quartet
number very satisfactorily. Miss
Ruth and C. W. Hawks sang a selec-
ton from ii Trovtore that was
rendered most a%cceptably and Miss
Florence Phelps, who has rich con
tralto voice, sang a double numEer,
"Love is Done"and"A Prayer,n both
OF which were admirably suited to hel
voice. Prof. Otto played her accom-.
paniment. "The Legend of tho
Chimes was a beautiful quartet
number, rendered by the Misses
Preston and Ruth and Messrs.
Downey and Boyles. in which the
voices harmoniZed with excellent
effect and made the number an ap.
%preciated one. Miss Florence Winsol
played Bobm's "Impromptu Ma.

taste, for which she was literally
applauded, and .deservediy so. Misses

STORY THAT THE MoRMoNs
WOULD BUY COLLEGE BUILD
INcs Is DENIED.
Work on the Maeadam Road to Dc
Resumed If Good Weather
Prevails.

COLLEGE PLACE, Feb. 1.-The
citizens Of College Place have been
puzzled to know the cause of the ru-
mors of the sale Of the college. These
rumors seem to come to the town from
abroad and it has been hard for the
people to understand how so import
ant information came to others first.
II is sufficient to state that no sale OF
the college has been attempted or
thought of by the managers Of the in
stitution. While the denomination, of
which the institution is an exponent,
has had in mind some notifications,
there has been no thought of changing
it's educational functions.
To Resume Work.
Those who have been engaged in
labor on the gravel road, announce
that they will begin work again the
first of the week in case the pleasant
weather continues. Much interest is
expressed in the progress now being
made, and it is hoped that the road
may be built more economically than
at first, which may mean that the road
will reach College Place in the spring.
New Club Organized.
A new club has been recently or
ganized under the caption Of the Jolly
Times Club" Nor is the club juvenile
in it's nature as its name might i'm
ply; for it Is largely composed of
seniors. 1t is announced that it's first
jollification will consist of an oyster
supper and suitable entertainment.
Leetured to Students.
DR.. Moran of the Battle Creek sani-
tarium is visiting friends at the Col
lege. He lectured to the students In
tho chapel Saturday evening. He re-
ports that the sanitarium is enjoying
unprecedented prosperity. 1t will be
remembered that this institution was
totally destroyed by fire two years ago.
The new building is perhaps the larg-
est and finest Of its kind in the world.
Personal Mention.
C. F. Nichols has announced that
he will leave for an extended trip
into Mexico, the first part Of February.

THE NEW SEMESTER At WHIT
MAN COLLEGE WAS OPENED
YESTERDAY MORNING.
Big Room in, Gymnasium Will Soon
BE etsd--5askstbaIl
Game Scheduled.

Whitman students have been sum-
moned to chapel by the tolling Of the
college bell for the last time. Yester-
day morning the new semester opened
with chapel time changed from S:45 to
10 O'clock in the morning. Instead of
the tolling which has summoned the
students to these daily exercises the
bell will be rung rapidly for three
minutes before 10 and the student
not in his place when the clock strikes
the last stroke of the hour is tardy.
The change in the time Of chapel was
made in order that a full laboratory
period of two hours might be intro
duced in the morning both before and
after the prayer exercises. College
classes will begin at o'clock and last
urtil 1915 o'clock which recitations
will not be started until $50.
Another new regulation of the new
semester is one requiring all CONVERSE
tory students to take four hours in
the college or academy, unless their
time is fully filled by their musical
work.
