ISLANDS OF IVORY

Siberian Isles.
OVERTAKEN BY FATALITY

London, Dec. 22-Islands OF ivory
hidden among the arctic ice lying
north of Siberia were described in a
paper read by DR.. Gath Whitley at the
Victoria institute.
These islands We're discovered by
Russian explorers at the end Of the
eighteenth century, and have ,ei. eA

eighty thousand pounds of fossil iv-

bones and tusks of elephants, cement

the islands was strewn with tusks and
bones.
These extraordinary discoveries are
explained by the following theory: In
prehistoric times Siberia enjoyed a
comparatively mild climate, and a
great tract Of country now under ice
stood at a considerable level above the
sea.

MISS WILSON A PRODIGY.

A wonderful musical prodigy is Miss
Beatrice Evelyn Wilson of Portland
Oregon, who appeared here in pri
vate recital last evening in the Starr
Piano Parlors. The affair was com
plimentary to Mr.. c. M. Wilson and
Mr.. J. w. Wilson. The recital far sur.
passed anything of this nature ever
given in this city.
Miss Wilson is only twelve years OF
age, and although young, shows a
wonderful talent Her expression
was above par and shows with what
readiness and trueness she interprets
the different phrases of her numbers.
Miss Wilson has a brilliant future be-
fore her, this fact not alone having
been made known by audiences and
the general public. but by the great
est critics of the country. Last even
ing when the youns musician played
Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. II by List,
she astonished the assembled guests by
her most wonderful Interpretation Of
this difficult number. She received a
number Of encores. After the rendi-
ton OF the first three numbers-(a Les
Deux- Alonettes (The Two Larks)
-Leschetisky, (b) Berceuse. Op. 81
Chopin and (c) acknowledgement
Cp. 20, by ]. Raft, Miss Wilson was
presented with a beautiful bouquet Of
flowers. She was forced to respond to
the hearty applause which followed
Miss Wilson will indeed be a pride to
America, as well as Oregon. She ex-
poets to study in Europe this season.
The programs were presented to the
guests by little Miss Winifred Curtis.
The Starr Piano parlors we're decorat-
ed with strands of holly and cedar the
decorations altogether giving the
rooms most charming appearance.
Mrs. Grace Gormon, one of the city's
leading vocalists, sang Years at the
Spring" by Cecile IIartog, in her usu-
al pleasing manner. She was accom-
panied by Mrs. Clayton B. Hunt. Miss
Wilson also plays the violin. but her
instrument is the piano. All persons
invited to attend the affair last even
ing were certainly given a rare treat
The recital will be long remembered
by music lovers of this city 1t is
hoped that when Miss Wilson returns
from abroad she will stop over in this
city and give another musical.

PARISH FAIR.

The Farmers Club at its last meet
Ing appointed a committee to con-
fer with a committee from the
Progressive League upon the ques-
tion OF holding a parish fair next fall,
and make report at an early date.
Because of the great benefits of the
farming interests, which result from
holding annual fairs, it is to be hoped
that the two committees will evolve a
plan for a fair next fall in this parish.
1t may not be possible to plan on a
very large scale, but that should not
be a cause of encouragement. The
main thing is to begin, and make what
ever features may be attempted, sue
cessful features. 1t is not the size of
a fair that counts, it is the kind that is
important. A good start showing re-
suits is a certain surety of growth
along the right lines and that after all
is the principal thing.
The effort of the committee neces-
sarily must be seconded by the bust
mss men financially and otherwise.
And the matter of holding the fair will
depend largely upon the support and
encouragement the committee will re-
ceive.
