NEARBY FIRE CAUSES
SCARE AT THE ORPHEUM

Smoke and noise from a bunch of fire
engines serenading' jewelry store near
the Orpheum caused about half the aud
ience to leave abruptly just before the IN
Permission last night. The half who re-
mained were given frequent bulletins of
the fire by Stage Manager Paulson, and
were soon rejoined by the ones who went
out to make personal investigation. An
excitable young man in the balcony yelled
"Fire!"-just once he yelled, for a strong
handed gentleman at his side put MIN
gently to sleep, and when he awoke 1t was
all over.
The offering of Minnie Seligman and
William Bramwell was apparently cut
short about three minutes to advance the
intermission, but otherwise the program
did not suffer from the occurrence. The
Seligman and Bramwell sketch. entitled
"A Dakota Widow" is headlined, and for
dramatic ability deserves the prominence
The Dakota widow regrets the step she
had taken and her regrets are equally
shared by the man, but he VIII not ex-
plain unless she apologies for opening
the letter that caused the trouble. Both
are clever actors and the playlet works
out to a happy ending through the photo
the widow still carries in her locket
Jokes About the Fire

how. and though there have been other
messenger boy stunts at the Orpheun
within recent memory there has been none
such as Lucier's. 1t was Lucier VINO
pointed his Jokes with frequent illusions
to the smoke that was still pervading the
theater and the fire which he declared
was the cause of his being late Lucier
can dance also, and Lucy is very good to
look at.
Mr.. and Mrs Jimmie Barry were the
third sketh team on the program. Theirs
is "At Hensfoot Corners and tells how
the New Yorkers are regarded by the rest
of the United States, also how the feellng
is reciprocated. Ask your friends this
question: "If the railroads were giving
passes to everyone where would every

but she may be wrong.
Those Apron Strings
The four Arconis do remarkable things
with a couple of springboards, but The
best part of their act is the comedian VINO
has such trouble with the strings of his
walters apron. An apron string Is
small matter, but properly handled it Will
accomplish much. The comedian afore-
said is an artist in aprong Strings,
Mason and Bart, the former in immacu-
late .Willie Off the Yacht outfit, the
latter rugged out as baboon from the
wilds, do really surprising acrobatic
stunts on the triple bars. Their comedy

When the former of the comedians be-
comes entangled in the meshes of the
morning paper in an effort to get at the
news the sympathies of the audience are
all with him.
The poets" give Maud Muller instead
or .aThe Goblins," but with this exception
the act is the same as last week. The
sunny South, singing and dancing, and
Berry and Berry, comedy musicians are
holdovers. There are two pictures, one of
which, entitled Mr.. lnquisitive, Is
worth seeing.

GESNER
IS GIVEN
OVATION
Master of Violin Assisted In
a Splendid Concert by
Other Attractive Ore
gOn Talent

Leroy Gesner was given an ova-
ton last night.
No young artist could wish for a
better, brighter or more enthusiastic
home coming than that accorded this
talented young master OF the violin
at the Grand opera house last even
ing.
Aside from the rece eption given a
Salem boy by old friends and neigh
bors 1t was gathering of enthus-
iastic music lovers to hear a master
of the violin in his superb work.
Mr.. Gesner, who from early youth,
displayed much promise in his love
OF music, after innumerable strug-
giles and some hardships, went to
Europe and put in four years of very
hard work under the greatest living
yiolinists and made good. He grew
and broadened and the talent he so
early showed in Interpretation and
color improved.
Mr. Gesner is a good violinist.
The narrator of this event has no
desire to "slopover" In telling OF
this and has no intention of follow
ing the unwritten journalistic law
to always praise home talent. II
will not work in this case because
Mr.. Gesner's playing is too good for
him TO remain in this city permanent
lly. He has a bigger and broader
field and will no doubt accomplish
things in the world of music that will
cause Salem people to be proud OF
him.
Mir. Gesner has not reached the
top. No one claims that he plays
with the exquisite finish OF Paderew-
ski or with that masterful technique
that characterized Ole Bulls efforts.
but Mr.. Gesner Is no mere tyro by
any means. He surprised the best Of
them last night.
Mr.. Gesner was assisted in the
concert last night by Mrs. Walter
Reed. who has the most charming
contralto voice in Oregon and who
was at her best last evening; Mrs. ID
F. Carnes and Mrs. s. II. soule. ae-

Concerning Soil Moisture.

So far as cultivation is concerned,
there are three principal steps in the
conservation of soil moisture:
The soil must be loOsened to a con-
siderable depth in order to prepare a
reservoir to receive the rain and carry
the water downward into the soil. This
may be accomplished by deep blowing,
by listing or by disking unplowed lands.
The water which IS carried down into
the subsoil must be brought back again
into the surface soil, where the seed is
terminating and the young roots are
growing. and to accomplish this Il good
connection must be made between the
furrow slice and the subsoil, and this
is the purpose of the use of the subsur-
face packer Immediately after blowing.
Finally in order that the water which
is drawn up again toward the surface
may not reach the air and be wasted
by evaporation. the upper two or three
inches of the soil must be kept mellow
in the form of soil mulch. and this is ac-
complished in the growing Of crops by
frequent cultivation, which Is not so
practicable with wheat as with corn
and similar crops. However. the har-
row may often be successfully used in
preserving the soil mulch In the wheat
field.-A. NJ. Teneyck in Kansas Farm

Irritation Burrows.

This question Of deep versus shallow
burrows, like many more connected
with farming operations, cannot be
definitely settled one way or another
without reference to the physical con-
ditions surrounding each case. Its So
luton depends, for example, on the
porosity and depth of the soil and the
distribution of the roots of the trees
and their depth below the surface. In
a shallow soil, where the roots are
near the surface, it would not be wise
to destroy large part of them in an
attempt to make deep burrows or to
place the water so low In the first
place that large part would soon per-
colate beyond the deepest roots. On
the other hand, in deep SOIL in which
the amount of valuable plant food in
the tenth foot may exceed that in the
first foot, it would be Il mistake to
lure the fibrous rootlets to the surface
by too frequent and shallow irrigation.

Diskinq Of Alfalfa.

The disking of alfalfa is quite gener-
ally practiced wherever the crop is
grown in this country. There are sew
eral good reasons for this procedure,
varying somewhat in the order of
their merit according to local condi-
tons.
In the first place, the sharp disks, set
at Il slight angle, split and spread the
crowns of many Of the plants. causing
them to stool and send up an increas-
ed number Of stems. Little or no Gam
age results from the operation. which
should be carried on in winter or after
q cutting, when the alfalfa is in stub
BILE.
In some localities also the resulting
mulch of loose earth Is stated to con-
serve soil moisture at times when rain
fall is slight or irrigating water scarce.

ton that disking Incorporates with the
surface soil much fertilizing material.

Corn Breeding Experiments.

At the Illinois experiment station it
was found that in crossing races OF
corn which had been grown under diff
ferent conditions for n number of gen.
eratfons the crossbred sorts gave a
larger yield and made more vigorous
growth than the ordinary corn Of the
parent varieties. or fifteen crossbred
sorts tested twelve gave an increase
in yield over the parent varieties Of
from 2 to Sc per cent. In the three re-
naming cases the yield was decreased
from to 20 per cent, while in the fif-
teen crosses. as a whole, an increase in
yield Of about 10 per cent was secured.
