This was played with seemingly as
much ease as any of the smaller
pieces, for although the girl is the
most petite pianist that has ever ap-
peared on the professional concert
stage she has remarkable skill,
strength and endurance.
A miscellaneous group was head
ed by the Mars song, recently
composed by Father Dominic Of the
st. Benedict monastery at Mt. Angel,
Ore. This song was dedicated to
Hugo Mansfeldt, who is the only
teacher that Miss Howard has had.
1t was Transcribed for the piano by
Mr.. Mansfeldt. Other numbers
were the Arensky Consolation, d
Major, Opus So, No. g." Diemer's
haunting and beautiful "Troisienne
Orientale," the Liszt "Liebestraum,
No. g." and the Strauss-Schuett con-
cert paraphrase of the "Fledermaus
Walzer." AS an encore the Chopin
"Berceuse" was exQuisitely played.
Miss Howard is expected to make
European tour very soon, but no
definite arrangements have yet been
announced.

President Taft has this to say In
his inaugural address regarding the
negro Of the south:
Personally, have not the slight
est race prejudice or feeling, and re-
cognition Of its existence only awak-
ems in my heart deeper sympathy
for those who have to bear It or
suffer from it, and | question the
wisdom of a policy which is likely
to increase 1t. Meantime. II nothing
is done to prevent, a better feeling
between the negroes and the whites
in the south will continue to grow
and more and more Of the white
people will come to realize that the
future Of the south is to be much
benefited by the industrial and in
tellectual progress of the negro
The exercise Of political franchises
by those of his race who are intelli.
gent and well-to-do will be acquies.
ced in, and the right to vote will be
withheld only from the ignorant and
impossible Of both races"

A MOST DESIRABLE
PLACE FOR A HOME
AS Grants Pass and the Rogue River

About a year ago when in Seattle,

booklets describing the Rogue River
Valley, its climate and resources.
What difference of 500 miles in

some extent from experience, but
did not at the time consider the
favorable combination OF latitude,
nearness Of the Pacific ocean and
the influence of the surrounding

here last September, my first i'm

Of going through Hon. Carson's

planted to Flaming Tokay and bear

for shipment. No need for me to

MISS EULA HOWARD
INTERPRETS CHOPIN
Delights San Francisco Audience
With Rendition OF the Piano
Poets Works.

Miss Eula Howard, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Howard, former
ly of Grants Pass, but now residents
of San Francisco, gave Chopin re-
cital at the Century Club hall, on
March 4. OF Miss Howard and her
performance Thomas Nunan in the
Examiner says the following:
"San Francisco, usually prompt in
honoring the great composers on
important anniversaries nearly over
looked the Chopin centennial, and 1t
remained for Miss Eula Howard,
one of the youngest of the local
musicians, although among the most
distinguished, to give recital in
commemoration of the eccentric
master whose greatness grows upon
the world as the years go by.
The centennial was we'll observed.
In previous reviews of the work
performed by the brilliant young
pianist, I mentioned that Miss
Howard possessed mind that SEEM
ed all music and that she had an in
tuitive knowledge Of Chopin mean
ings entirely beyond her years and
experience, a knowledge such as
cannot be acquired from teaching.
It takes a poet-pianist to interpret
the Polish piano-poet, and by her
natural endowments, with her per-
feet technical skill, Miss Howard
meets all the requirements. Emin-
ent musicians have of late said these
things, without knowing that they

nearly year before, when the San
Francisco girl made her debut. The
Thursday night audience, critical as
well as large, enthusiastically en-
dorsed these opinions in the ap-
plause with which the program was
received.
Miss Howard began her recital
with the Scherzo in E Minor, Opus
54, a big and difficult number that
had not been heard In public since

WITH THE MERRY LAWMAKERS
Pupils Of The High School Give an 0perati,
Cantata at The Opera House on Saturday
With Much Success.

Last Saturday evening was quite
an event to the sixty members Of the
High School who took part in the can
tata given in the opera house. They
had been preparing for two months
with rehearsals at home, in the school
house and at the hall. Costumes were
made by the. fond mothers and thus
many families were interested in the
event. The music in the public
schools this year has been in charge
of Miss Ina johnson and to her the
presentation of the little opera meant
much in labor and anxiety. She was
we'll rewarded for her endeavors, for
the singers knew their parts and there
seemed to the audience nothing to
mar success.
The play represented bayfield,
scene in hot haying time. and the
costumes for the rural boys and girls
were in harmony. The leading char
acter of the young men was taken by
Warner Temple who was for the oc-
casion city dude having his first ex-
periences in the country. He hated
to get up in the morning, is tired out
long before noon. and is stung by
wasps which he calls yellow flies.
All this caused much laughter to the
young people at the farm. BE enter
ed into his part we'll. The other
young men taking leading parts were
Charles Helsley, Alva Daniels and
Arthur Cushman. Each appeared in
solo and showed good voices and an
entering into the spirit Of the play.
Miss Pearl Rank was assigned the
leading position among the young
lady singers and she appeared in solo
many times with fine effect. Nellie
Orr and Wayne Nicholson sang sweet
ly their solos and won much praise.
Eunice Meyers took the difficult obli-
cato solo in the final Harvest Home
chorus. While those named had men.

in which each singer did good work.

lead to better health, success and hap

A Wis. couple examined an idea new

on the health ladder. The husband

My wife and I both loved coffee and

read of Postum and the harmfulness
Of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked II
and were relieved Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
sThese changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
"Many of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change. "There's

WESTERN CANADA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1908.
AMERICANS PRoFlTED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATlSFAc-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch Of the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed it's returns of the show
ing Of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield Of about 1O7, OOO, 900
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$85,OOO,00O; in addition to this the oat,
barley and flax crops were worth an
other $4,000, 900. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
fromthe United States. From these,
that iof Rev. Oscar l.. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity Of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be Of interest to those who con
template moving to Central Canada.
Every line Of the letter is interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
mi. M. V. McInnnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: I am well satisfied with AL
berta. This country offers excellent
opportunities for anyone to make a
good home for himself and family
If he is willing to put up with a few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But it is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 160-acre farm: of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on

grains, stock raising and dairying. W.
have found the climate generally
healthful, more healthful than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero in winter, yet we do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
we did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.

est in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ing schools where they are called for.

being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
Of the province. The new policy of
the Alberta government to construct
a great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
of the country. If those new settlers
who have to 90 back a considerable
distance from existing railroads and
towns to find free homesteads will
but locate along the line Of a project
ed railroad they will in two or three
years be near both town and railroad.
