SYMPHONY CLUB
CLOSES SEASON
A MONTH EARLY
Much Encouraged In Interest Taken In
Work This Year, and Over In
creased Membership,

The symphony club has held it's last
study meeting for this year, closing a
month earlier than previously in or
der not to conflict with the numerous
school concerts and recitals always
held in May. The club feels much en-
couraged in the success of this second
years work shown by increased mem
bership and attendance at these meet
lngs, for the earnest study of music
for its own sake. People are finding
out that they do not have to be mu-
sicians in order to appreciate under
standingly this youngest yet Oldest of
the arts as we'll as the most universal
In this twentieth century the people
are beginning to realize that music
is one of the most potent features in
education-One of the greatest factors
for good in civilization-and so, to
want to know more about it practical
ly.
The second years work of the Sym
phony club will be completed by it's
third orchestra concert April 20, when
a Schubert symphony, the first move
ment from the &c" minor of Mozart
parts of Peer Gynt Suit" by Grieg,
and a Chopin waltz will be among the
orchestra numbers.
Mrs. Raymond G. Brooks, soprano,
will be soloist on this occasion. Mrs.
Brooks possesses a charming and well
trained voice, having studied with
noted teachers and those who have
had the pleasure of hearing her sing
will be delighted with another OPP
portunity.

up. The weather has started in very
auspiciously for the week and at the
count next Saturday night, there will
be a great difference in the number of

The prizes, four trips up the Alaska
coast, are well worth the striving for.
And, besides, the young ladies know
there is no chance of failure, for in
any case they are sure of a free trip
to the Alaska Yukon-Pacfic expo
sition. This is given for II yearly sub
scrlptions, and no one could hope to
win the contest with less, hence there
will be no work wasted at all for those

Animal Does Not Awaken After Slid

Mountain.

San Demanding. Cal.-Charles Muir,
a mine owner of wild Rose canyon,
has horse which went to sleep two
weeks ago and has not awakened
since. That it slowly is coming out
of its repose, Muir says, is evident by
its increasing susceptibility to the re-
port of shotgun, with which he has
daily tested its power of hearing.
More than two weeks ago the horse
was lost and when found 1t was IN

slid down steep side of the noun

was led back to the Muir place. Muir
threw a forkful of alfalfa to the ami
NAL. but the next morning was sur
prised to find the horse still standing
where he had left it. The feed had
not been touched.
Muir discharged a shotgun close to
the horse and slight jerk of its head
indicated that the noise had been
heard, and this had been kept up
