MANDOLIN
Kaai's Concert is a
Great Artistic
Success,

| Progress Hall was packed to the
| doors last night by people who had
come to enjoy the rich bill-of fare pro-
vided by Ernest Kaai for his annual
| students concert.
| Kaai is an undisputed master of the
mandolin and guitar and has been
| particularly successful with his pu-
pills, who, with a few exceptions, were
responsible for the successful carrying
out of last nights program.
| The audience was a cosmopolitan and
brilliant one and many figures promi-
| nent in the local world of music We're
conspicuous in the crowded hail.
Almost every selection was vocifer-
ously encored, and in nearly every
case the audience caught the artists in
a gratefully complaisant humor.
kaafs Quartet opened with 1.-The
POSTMASTER" and Master Lo Tan, a
Chinese boy of very tender years, gave
a solo on the harp-zither which de-
lighted those present. Lo Tan is said
to be the youngest Chinese zitherist in
the world.
The Little Ones Mandolin Club fol-
lowed with a medley of Hawaiian
songs arranged by Ernest Kaai and
then the Ball children executed a pleas
ing instrumental two-step. Part 1. was
brought to a conclusion by the rem
dering of a tuneful waltz by the Ju-
venile Mandolin Club.
The Chinese Boys Mandolin Club
ushered in Part II. with an inspiring
march entitled vienna Forever" and
then Master Willie Ball gave an exhibit
ton of his prowess with the mandolin,
which was cheered to the echo There
is no doubt that this youthful per-
former is possessed of talent of no
mean order.
Kaai's Quartet filled the next num-
Der and the famous Hawaiian GIee
Club followed with selected songs.
The Amateur Mandolin Club played
'.Lindy Low" a particularly catching
composition, in fetching manner, and
this cleared the way for the star of the
evening Ernest Kaai.
His selections were brilliantly exc
cuted and there is no doubt that today
Kaai is facile princeps, the foremaster
of his chosen instruments in Homo
lulu. His Kentucky Home was an
exquisite Offering and "Karama'' al
most as meritorious.
The entertainment was ended by the
Imperial Unity march, played by
Kaai's Quartet, and then the floor was
cleared for dancing, which continued
until midnight.

THE RUSS0-JAPANESE WAR
Consul-General Miller Tells of
Scenes a nd Incidents.

Monday evening the Grants Pass
opera house had the largest audience
that has been within II for year past.
So great was the attendance that 30
extra chairs were added TO the seating
capacity Of the large room and then
there were persons who had to stand
up while others not being able TO Sc
cure seats turned back at the doorway
and returned to their homes.
The occasion was the lecture by
Consul General Miller on the Russo
japanese war. The lecture was given
under the auspices Of the Grants Pass
High School and the proceeds were for
the library fund. The services Of Mr..
Miller were generously given TO the
school and such was the popularity Of
his leoutre that the school had after
all expenses we're paid, sl04 40 to
place to the credit Of their library
fund. The stage was tastily decor
ated with potted plants and flowers,
while back Of the speakers stand
there was draped a large American
flag, supported at either side by Jap
anese and Russian flag
City Superintendent X. X. Turner
introduced Consul General Miller,
or rather as he stated it, told why
he and the unusually large audience
were there, for this was one instance
in which no introduction was neces-
sary for the speaker, and that with
the distinguished citizen of Grants
Pass, who was to appear for the even
ing, 1t could not be said of him that
hs was prophet without honor
among his own people for the repre-.
sentative gathering Of citizens in
every walk Of life, proved that he had
the esteem and the confidence of his
fellow oitizens. Supt. Turner spoke
briefly Of the eminent services that
Mr.. Miller had rendered while con-
sui at Niu Chwang, China, and of the
fitting recognition of his ability as
diplomat in his appointment fy
President Roosevelt to be United
States consul. general for Japan.
Both when Mr.. Miller went to the
stage and on his rising to speak he
was greeted with the heartiest ap-
plause. AS preface to his talk on
the Russo-Japanese war, Mr. Miller
gave brief history of Japan and a
description Of its people .and of the
cause that brought tho nation from
an obscure position to one of the
great powers Of the world. OF the
present war he said that Japan had
been preparing for 10 years and that
it was a war IN which all the people
were in IL with their heart and soul
aud no sacrifice Of life and wealth
was too great for them to make. that
their country might in this struggle,
which they held to be one of life or
death too their very existence as q
nation. The relentles, tremendous
conquest by Russia bringing that
country nearer and nearer to Japan,
made the japanese realize that their
country. If the Slav power was not
checked, would soon follow Man.

petent labor with which to operate

ing local market for canned goods
and the outside market is practically
unlimited. This and the other Pacific
Coast states will be one Of the best
markets for canned goods in the
United States, for the mining dis
tricts, cities factory towns and sea
ports will each require great quaint
ties to supply their demands. Alaska
and the Oriental countries will, in the
near future become immense markets
for canned goods and the cold climate
of the former country and the density
of the population OF the later counties
will preclude their ever supplying

their readiness TO take up with any
Thing new that appeared better than
what they had was not equaled by any
other people in the world. While
their prowess in war was the wonder
aud the admiration Of the world, yet,
the accomplishments in trade and
manufacturing that they would make
would cause a greater sstonishment
TO the commercial nations. Half OF

until Japan would become one of the
biggest manufacturing countries of
the world But this industrial de-
velopment would be to the advantage
Of America, which would find in
japan a great and growing market for
many of its products
OF the Russians, Mr.. Miller said
that Americans had a false idea, for
the educated classes were as cultured
and refined as any people. In charac-
ter they were more Asiatic than Eu-
ropean in theiI self-conceit and dupil-
city. Yet they had many noble traits
and they would yet make of Russia
one Of the greatest countries Of the
world in all that modern civilization
implies. In giving his sketch of the
war, he had over 100 views which
were shown by stereopticor and which
portrayed wildly and lifelike, scenes
that made the audience almost feel
that they were actually viewing dis
tinguished Japanese and Russian per-
sonages, home and street sceIies and
the realities of war As each view
appeared on the screen, Mr.. Miller ex-
planned it, and so clearly and concise
were his statements that his audience
gained more comprehensive knowl-
edge, Of affairs IN the far East than
could have been gained in a month of
reading. The lecture was thoroughly
appreciated and at its close Consul
