TEACHER'S CONCERT
 FOR LIBRARY FUND
The Picayune's Library Edi- tion Christ Week
 Will Assist.

If the parents of this city would visit the school library. and note the great interest taken by the pupils, they could more readily appreciate the undertak- ing installed by Prof. Dunaway.
 Five years ago, when he as sumed charge, our schools dld not contain even a reference book, much less a library. and by his untiring energy and great capacity for work, has, by co- operation of the teachers, board of directors, students and oth- CTS. has library containing over six hundred volumes in the two libraries, one up stairs, the other in the old building down stairs, of which every child of the school have free access, and all are unanimous in the opinion of it's great good, and are plan- hing for a larger one. The en- cyclopedia, classics of famous authors, are now an absolute ne- cessity.
 CONCERT FOR LIBRARY.
 The teachers of the school are arranging for a concert to be given Christmas week, and with the net proceeds. purchase a library for the little folk in the new building, which contains the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades, which we are sure will be a suc- cess both as an entertainment and financially.
 PICAYUNE LIBRARY FUND.
 This office wishes to assist in this laudable undertaking, and with the same stroke advertise Prescott and Nevada county's great resources and and the CO operation of Prof. Dunaway, teachers, pupils. merchants and citizens, propose to issue Christmas edition of the Plea. yune, to be known as the
 PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY EDITION It will contain a general write-ur of Prescott, citing its past his. tory and it's development to the present and future prospects, also statistics, relating to pro ductiveness of Nevada county's soil, its timber and other inter, ests of which this county is noted, giving half-tone pictures of street scenes, school buildings, churches, timber, cotton anC various other interests.
 We realize this a large under taking, but we wish to assist Prof. Dunaway and Prescott school children in purchasing their new ihlaiy, and if the merchants will do their part, they will not only advertise theil wares throughout the city, coun- ty and state, blt help to bring immigration to this county and help a laudab|e cause.
 This issue will contain ten or twelve pages. and he printed and ready for circulation one week before Christmas, DeeeM- Der l7, and will number 2500 copies, to be sent our regular subscribers and sent away by patrons.
 We are going to give 10 per cent of the net proceeds of this edition to the Public School Library. We do not expect to make anything financially out of

WHAT THEY SAID.
Short interviews With Los Angeles
 Excursionists.

William Mead, banker-"Develop- ment of this region is far ahead of what expected. This trip is an eye opener. Imperial Valley is a great country and has a great future"
 w. N. Hamaker, banker-"It is so big that I haven't got 1t sized up yet. If I had two weeks in which to see the valley and get ca my feet, would be better able to form an opinion. It is too big a proposition to be com prehended at glance
 James Slauson, vice-president Cham Der of Commerce-"The livest part of the West. Your people are doing great things, and no man can set a limit to what they will do in such a country"
 Musser, seed dealer-''It opens my eyes. We haven't paid much attention to business from here in the past, but I see we didn't know what was going on. We shall get busy in the futuro when anyone in Tmper,a1 Valley wants anything from us"
 c. w. Fleming, manager American Type Founders Co.-"When I was in the valley three years ago l predicted that there would be a population of 0,000 and those who heard the pre- diction ridiculed it. Now I am draw. ing a line through the 90,000 and sub stituting 50,OOO. There is no limit to what can be accomplished in Imperial Valley"

Angeles men said they had never tasted turkey as good as the Imperial Valley bird in their lives. They en- ioyed the luncheon immensely, and they made impromptu speeches and sang songs and had a halcyon and vociferous time, while the band played outside. The ladies who had charge of the affair and saw that every wis itor was treated we'll, were: Mes danes ]. s. Brown, c. E. Paris, H. B. Pearson, c. F. Buttress, w. B. Gibson, -C. F. Hayden, D. D. Pellett, T. Vencill, r. Blanchard and F. J. Cole.
 President Stewart and Prof. Foshay said so many nice things about the ladies of El Centro that they blushed like school girls.
 At Holtville and Imperial.
 After the luncheon, the excursion ists went to Holtville over the Inter urban line and had their eyes opened yet wider. They saw the power plant and realized what the interdiction of the use of water for power purposes would mean to the valley. Holtville and the farm development along the line made a marked impression upon the visitors.
 Saturday evening was spent at I'm perial where the citizens gave re- ception in the public hall, which was prettily decorated for the occasion.
 Senator George P. Blair presided, and excellent music was rendered by a quartette and Mrs. F. E. Barbour, violinist.
 J. B. Parazette was the principal speaker for Imperial, and he reviewed in an interesting way the development of the valley and the historic battle with the invading waters of the Colo rado.
 Short addresses were made by George H. Stewart, c. w. Fleming, Prof. J. A. Foshay, T. A. Graham, R. w. Davis, w. S. Corwin and J. H. Braly. The hall was packed to the limit, and the reception was in every way successful and creditable to the oldest city in the valley.

ANOTHER INVASION.
Chamber of Commerce to Organize Second Excursion to Imperial
 Valley.
[The Times.]

The IlmeS.J
 The Imperial Valley excursion proved so popular that Secretary Wig gins of the Chamber of Commerce is planning a second peaceful invasion of the valley on March 26. He has long waiting list of business men who were unable to secure accommo- dations on the first excursion, and he is confident that it will be an easy matter to fill five or six Pullmans witt passengers.
 Those who went to the valley tell some remarkable stories of soil fecun- dity, and samples of products are ex- hibited to doubting friends. One man went into transports of delight over a pea vine that measured ten feet in length, and was loaded with tender green pods. As he is very partial to peas, he is contemplating moving to the valley
 Many of the returning excursionists were remembered by the El Centro ranchers. The Ira Aten Land Com pany gave generous samples of peas and sugar beets; M. w. Conkling and Mr. Geary donated cabbage; E. D. For rester, beets, white radishes, turnips, green peas carrots and corn, and Mir. Corwin, Tokay grapes.

The matter of calling an election for the purpose of passing on the question of bonding the county for road improvements will probably come before the San Diego supervisors soon, says the Union4
 If the supervisors decide that it would be a good plan to bond the county, they will appoint a road com mission to view the different roads and report on the amount necessary to put them in good shape.

[Los Angeles Times, Mar. 2.l

[Los Angeles Times, Mar 2.]
 Tired but happy, the Chamber of Commerce Imperial Valley excursion party arrived at Arcade Station at 7:15 o'clock yesterday morning. Al. of the 150 members are enthusiastic over the hospitality of the residents of the valley, and they are loud in their praise of the conditions which they found.
 The party visited Imperial, Fl Cen tro, Holtville, Brawley and CaleXicO, and smaller places along the line. From Calexico twenty of them made a tourney to the extensive ranch of the California and Mexico Land and Cat tie Company, Manager Bowker show, ing them over the property.
 The purpose of the tour was to pro mote a closer friendship between the people of this city and those of the Imperial Valley. There was no ques- ton as to the success of the affair.
 At the towns where stops were made receptions and other forms of enter tainment were provided. The visitors found live civic organizations in near ly every town, and they were greeted enthusiastically on every hand.
 The trip was great event for many of the party" said Secretary Frank Wiggins yesterday. Even those who had visited the Imperial Valley be fore were not prepared for the rapid growth which they found and I think that all realize the necessity for keep ing in touch with that rich and rapid ly growing section. It is marvellous the strides that country has made even in the last year.
 Milo Baker was very enthusiastic over the journey. He said:
 There is no room for doubt as tc the future of the Imperial Valley The soil is rich beyond belief, the people are progressive, and the section is growing rapidly.
 "I was greatly surprised at the eX cellent class of buildings at El Centro They have an opera house there whict would do credit to a city of 5000 in habitants, and all of the bushes. blocks are of brick. Imperial, Braw ley, Calexico and the other cities also are fourishing wonderfully.
 We were entertained by the Cham Der of Commerce of Fl Centro both or our first visit and on our return home When we first arrived in the city VIC were rendered a reception at the opera house. One of the things which i'm pressed me was the large display o cotton used in decorating the house It was beautiful, and furthermore showed what can be done in Imperia Valley in cotton culture. I am thank ful that made the trip. for was en abled to learn many things"

Reached Their Hearts.
 On Saturday morning the excursion ists went south to Calexico and down to the front of the railroad in Mexico and were entertained all along the line. They returned to El Centro at noon and were escorted by the band and a committee to the new building of the Holton Power Company, where the ladies of Fl Centre had set out a cold turkey luncheon for them in the store that is to be occupied by the hardware company The windows Of the store were filled with valley pro ducts-cotton, sugar cane, sugar beets, tomatoes, green peas. corn, radishes, and other things out of season else where and plants and trees of many kinds were displayed about the room, with placards more or less amusing and instructive.
 A dozen big. fat turkeys formed the solid basis of the luncheon. The Los

MUSICAL NOTES

Music lovers of Los Angeles remenl-
Der with keen satisfaction the pleasure
given them last fall by the playing Of
Maud Powell, the great woman violin
list, who left all who heard her her
willing slaves, so perfect was her
artistry.
Her friends have been watching with
interest the suit that has been going
on In the New York courts over the
recovery of q very fine specimen of
violin, a Guadagnini. The instrument
in question was bought by the well
known dealer Schilbach of New York,
for 500, after which he sold it to Miss
Powell for $4,000. But the history Of
the buying dates back two years ago
when a German peddler named Sim
sen offered to sell an old, dusty, cheap
looking violin to Schilbach, who with
the trained eye of an expert saw be-
meath the dust and dirt a famous and
valuable instrument. With assumed
indifference Schilbach said he might
find a buyer. Simsen left it and Schil-
bach purchased it, music teacher
acting for him. Simsen charged the
teacher $500 and gave the violin dealer
10 per cent for commission. So Schil-
bach really obtained the fiddle for
1910. Imagine an instrument made in
1875 by Johannes Baptiste Guadagnini
and in good condition being sold for
1910.
Miss Powelrs first acquaintance with
the violin was a year ago when she
entered into an agreement with Schil-
bach to take the instrument on a tour
with her and if It suited to pay $4,000
for it, En- tour she played in Boston.
where she was heard by Simsen, who
formerly owned the violin. Recognize
ing it he claimed it, saying that when
he sold it to the New York dealer he
was unaware OF its great value.
Miss Powell refused to give UP her
treasure and sent the $4,000 to Schil-
bach as agreed. This astute financier
sent the money back. saying that he
had been offered $4,000 for it and that
she must give it up. Upon Miss Pow
ellis refusal to comply with the out
rageous demand suit WAS brought
against her.
Mortimer Flagg, the well known New
York attorney, was engaged to defend
the suit, and after hearing the ex-
uuisite tones the violin produced under
Miss Powell's bowling he vowed that
Schilbach should not get possession of
the violin except over his dead body,
and it so happened that he was killed
in an auto accident before the trial.
The final settlement made by the
court allowed Miss Powell the violin
on a compromise, she to pay the $4,000
originally agreed and to pay Schil-
bach's lawyer.
This season in october we will have
Mss Powell and May Nuke, the
English 'cellist, with Anne Ford at
the piano in trio and solo work at
Simpson auditorium under Mr.. Be-
hYmer's management.

CUMNOCK SUMMER
TERM OPENS JULY 6
SCOPE OF WORK COVERS A
WIDE FIELD
DR.. Richard Burton Will Deliver 4
Course of Lectures on
1.-THE Modern
Drama"

The fifth annual summer term of the
Cumnock School of Expression will
open at Cumnock hall July and con-
tinue through six weeks. The scope of
work outlined for the summer session
covers a field Of unequaled adVan-
tages.
The faculty includes Mrs. Grigg at
its head The almost lost art of reading
aloud and the Interpretation Of master
poets will be under her supervision, as
well as one lecture a week on the
philosophy and art of expression. Miss
Wilkes will have the dramatic depart
ment, Miss Leonard voice building and
Miss Hogan physical training. Singers,
readers, speakers, teachers and club
women will find positive recreation in
the practical and delightfully."- helpful
course. The six weeks of morning
work will require little or no outside
planned with a view to stimulus of
mind and body.
An added attraction for the 1908 sum-
mer term is the course of lectures on
1.-THE Modern Drama" by Richard Bur-
ton. They will cover six topics by this
eminent literaturist from the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
Environment has greatly to do with
success, and Cumnock is an ideal re-
treat for both the casual reader, who
feels the need of an incentive for
broader appreciation, and the student
who counts on Cumnock summer school
to supply an impetus for more thor
ough effort during the year. Cultural
development is often sighted in the
busy cares of a winter season, but
vacation time stimulates ambition to
prepare for more successful work and
to further grasp beauties in literature
that perchance have been hitherto over
looked.
