rivaD since Sunday. April 5. Speaking
of his new rival Mr.. Horn says: 'I am
not much afraid that my rival in the
music making business will take many
engagements from me for some time to
come, as he must first undergo a pro-
cess of several years training. By
that time we may consolidate or form
trust. The young man is very mu-
sical and some of his selections are
rendered with the force and range of

Both the young man and his mother
are doing nicely. Papa Horn has al
most fully recovered.

be selected to lead the boys to victory
If he can consent to give the matter his
time and attention. His experience as a
former drill master of foresters and
position on the staff of General Mitchell
will be of great benefit to him at this
time should he be appointed, as well as
to the team itself.

will represent this camp at the state
camp are laying plans for good time
at Visalia. 1t is likely that all the

state will go day or two earlier than
would otherwise be necessary, so that
they can attend the annual log rolling
of the Woodmen of the San Joaquin
valley, which will be held at Visalia the
day before the state convention.
