ERNEST GAMBLE COMING
Great BassO and His Company VIII
Give Concert in Dallas,
February %.

The greatest musical treat ever
offered to a Dallas audience will be
given in the Woodman Hall, on the
evening Of February %, by the Ernest
Gamble Company. This great con-
cert company, fresh from its triumphal
tour of the Eastern states, comes to
the Coast for limited number of con-
certs in the large cities, and, having
two open dates in Oregon, was induced
to appear in Dallas by the offer of
liberal cash guarantee.
The company consists of three
finished artists: Mr.. Ernest Gamble,
basso Miss Verna Leone Page, vio-
liniste, and Mr.. Sam Lamberson,
pianist.
Eight years ago, Ernest Gamble, an
unknown young man just out of his
teens, sang solo at one Of the con-
certs Of the New York Chautauqua
which set the great audience wild with
enthusiasm. Today the best musicians
in America and Europe unite in plac-
ing him at the very head of American
bassos. He has appeared in concert
work in New York with Nine. Nordica !;
Ysaye and Remenyi, the violinists /;
Gerardy, the greatest living cellist,
and other artists of international
fame.
Miss Verna Leone Page, the violin
iste, is pupil of Max Bendix, Jacob
sohn, and the great master, Karl
Halir, Of Berlin. During her initial
season before the public, Miss Page
played in 1876 concerts in "a states, her
tour extending from Massachusetts, to
California.
The playing of Mr.. Lamberson, the
pianist, has won the praise of critics
everywhere. These three artists make
up one of the strongest musical COM
binations before the American public,
and the people of Dallas are to be
congratulated that circumstances have
made it possible to secure them for an
evening in this city.

Killed in Wreck.

l.. M Murray, a former resident OF
Polk county, was killed in wreck on
the Great Northern railroad, near
Rock Island, Wash, recently. He was
asleep in the baggage car when the
accident occurred. Having finished
his days work as express messenger,
he had retired for the night, when the
train ran into a mountain slide and
the engine and several cars were de-
rallied. Murray was struck by a piece
of falling baggage, and was instantly
killed. He was the on-in-law Of Mr..
and Mrs. Joshua Bowles, of Salt
Creek, and left a little son, his wife
having died about seven years ago
He was member of the Modern
Woodmen of America. The remains
were brought to Polk county and
buried in the Salt Greek cemetery. He
had many friends in this county, and
his death is deeply mourned by all.

II "the people" demanded the direct
primary law so strenuously, and
wanted the opportunity to take the
power OF nominating their own off
GERS. instead Of letting the villainous
and unscrupulous bosses do it for
them, why is it the primary law press
has to keep urging the people to regis
ter in order that they may vote at the
primaries? One would have thought
this unnecessary. 1t can't possibly be
that the people simply voted for the
law because it was on the ballot, and
that the noise mistaken for the peo-
ple's voice was like the lone coyote on
the plain ; one misleading the listener
into thinking there were thousand.
From the newspapers Of thee state
comes a constant scream to the people
to register. Salem Statesman.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-02-02

Let those Oregon newspapers that
supported the Initiative and Referen-
dun amendment explain to the people
how complications may be avoided if
two or three laws bearing on the same
subject, and each in direct conflict
with the other, shall be adopted at the
June election. There are now pending
for the consideration Of the voters two
tax bills, two special car bills, and two
state printing Office amendments.
Under the initiative plan, it will be
possible for all these measures to be
adopted, and, becoming laws at the
same time, there will be no way to de-
termine which must be observed. A
striking instance of direct conflict is
found in the proposed amendments to
regulate and control the office Of State
Printer. One amendment provides
that the Legislature may let the print
Ing out by contract to the lowest bid
der, and the other requires that the
printing shall be done in Salem in an
office to be owned by the State. Under
the initiative, it will he possible for
both Of these measures to be adopted
next June-and that's about what will
happen. Then, where will the State
"be at?" Let some good populistic
Republican or Democrat who helped
to fasten this new-fangled law on the
State arise and explain to the people
how this undesirable condition of
affairs may be avoided. Please, don't
all speak at oncel
