few statements regarding the
proper makeup of the instrument,
so that every performer who reads
this article might comprehend, to
some extent at least, the principles
on which his instrument was con-
structed. Now, then, any one can
understand that the smaller bell
will not, under any circumstances,
produce full, round baritone tone
therefore, it should not be used
where such tone is desired. On
the street it should only be used as
an occasional assistant to the from
bones, where both they and the
baritone are given the same notes
to play, or III playing bass parts,
when there is no bass trombone. In
concert its use is still more limited,
as the baritone tone is there a
prominent feature of the music,
and even when that part is in uni
son with the trombones it is uusally
because of desire on the part of
the composer to subdue the strong
trumpet effect of which these in
struments are capable. 1t is more
especially in solo work that the Sec
ond bell may be in evidence, and
even then excellent judgment on the
part of the artist is demanded; foi
no music has hitherto been written
which involves the arbitrary use of
both bells, and it is left to the play
er to decide which shall be used for
any particular motive. Airs with
variations are now seldom used as
solos (more's the PITY therefore,
one excellent opening for the use of
the double bell is lost, and in band
+ concert work it is largely restricted
to short phrases, echo motives and
the like, which must be chosen ac-
cording to circumstances, for no
rule can be given. Another use to
which this instrument is sometimes
put is to fill the place of the from
bone in the orchestra, which it
does, not perfectly of course, but
after all very creditably, in the
hands of good performer. So
that, instead of nothing but an
ornament an expensive one at
that-the double bell baritone is
really a useful and desirable in
strument, as it ought to be, when
the fact is considered that it is
really one of the most difficult
brass instruments to manufacture,
combining, as it does, the charac-
teristics of two entirely different
instruments. Dominant.

One of the most deplorable things
noticed upon entering the average
church is the weak, half-hearted
congregational singing. 1t seems
strange that people will goto church
Sunday after Sundy and not even
learn to sing the old familiar tunes
in their own hymnals. Choruses
and quartettes are all right for
anthem or special events, but when
the pastor gives out the name of a
hymn, every man and woman i'll the
congregation who has voice should
respond with fervor and familiar
ity that will leave no room for
doubt in the mind of the stranger

Many Cities Willing and Anx-
iOuS to Pay High Rate of
Interest.
EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF
SIX PER CENT OFFERED
Every City in the County Beseiged
the Board Of Head Managers TO
Bay Bonds-Vast improvements
Call for Money EveEywhere-Here-
tOfore Good Bonds Have Been
Scarce, But on This Occasion the
Order Was Swamped With Offers.

An inside view of the financial
conditions throughout the country
was presented to the board of head
managers of the Woodmen of the
World at its recent meeting in Den
yer.
John Pattison, a member of the
board and mayor of Colfax, passed
through the city today on his way
home from the Denver meeting and
in speaking to the East Oregonian Of
the number of bond sellers present at
the meeting, he said:
I'VE were simply overwhelmed
with bond sellers. Every city in the
country which has bonds for sale had
representative on the ground and
we were offered city of Chicago
bonds at 7-S per cent, the highest
rate ever offered by that city.
Pendleton's bonds. while excellent
and highly recommended, went the
way of hundreds of other cities
we did not make the purchase simply
because we could get a much higher
rate. We bought Denver city bonds
at below par, bearing six per cent
interest, the highest rate offered"
NJ Pattison said that every city
between Portland anu Chicago hav-
ing Improvements under way and
bonds for sale, beseiged the Wood
men of the World to buy bonds. The
board of head managers had never
before seen such an array of bond
sellers at any of its meetings. Here
tofore good offerings had been
scarce, but now every city is improv-
ing and has excellent bond issues up
on the market and the managers
could take the choice of some of the
best propositions ever offered to in
vestors on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Pattison recommended Pen
dieton improvement bonds, but as
there were many extraordinary offers
from Denver, Chicago, st. Joseph,
Salt Lake, ogden, Spokane and 9TH
er large cities, it was impossible to
take any of the smaller offerings.
The large sums offered in city
bonds from all sections of the west
and northwest indicates the vast ex-
tent of city Improvements and also
indicates that there is need of more
money in the country, with which to
carry on the new enterprises and i'm
provements.
