WIZARD OF MUSIC IN
AUDITORIUM SHOW
Professor Kingsley Uses Big Organ to
Advantage in cali Baba" PAM
tomime-Chorus Work
Improving

Lovers of good music may spend a
pleasant evening at 'Ali Baba and the
Forty Thieves at the Auditorium this
week. Bruce Gordon Kingsley, the or
ganiSt, is a wonder worker in the wiz
ardry Of music, and the organ and or
chestra accompaniment of the Ali Bahia
songs is decidedly unique and artistic.
The present productions, like the
others given by the Auditorium COM
pany, is Of a very British tinge, both
in the lines and in the Interpretation of
the principals. The humor does not
seem so screamingly funny to the audi
fence as it probably does on Drury
Lane, and it might prove wise move
on the part of the management either
to inject some live slap-stick material
into the plays, or else confine them ex-
clusively to the scenic and musical fea-
tures-which are excellent.
The chorus is. improving steadily un-
der the efficient direction of Miss Flor
ence Leslie, although the stage busi-
ness does not yet run with the smooth
ness demanded of so ambitious a pro-
duction. Miss Olga Stech is an accom-
plished singer and dancer, and Roscoe
Arbuckle, Walter Reed and Billy Ons-
low are a clever trio of fun makers.
With a little more adaptation to Ameri-
can tastes, the Auditorium manage
sembles of pantomimic mirth and mel
ody.
The Los Angeles Athletic club min
strel show, to be given Thursday and
Friday evenings of this week, at the
Mason Opera house, will be one of the
most ambitious of the affairs of the
kind yet undertaken in Los Angeles.
George L. Mcneeby will be interlocutor,
and there will be sixty ninstrels on the
stage. Among those taking prominent
parts are George w. Isaacs, Otto Dobes,
Leroy Jepsen, Eddie Clynton, Lyman
Emerson, Cecil Franklin, J. D. Welton,
DR.. T. o. Treen and Leroy Swaine. Mr..
Clinton and Mr.. Emerson, both of whom
have had professional experience, will
occupy the ends. Scheck and Aldro,
famous equilibrists; Al Treloar and
Edna Tempest will do some lifting and
acrobatic stunts. The Kendall quar-
tet, recently seen at the Orpheum in
Los Angeles, will contribute a new act.
One of the features of the evening will
be the sparring exhibition by the pupils
of Dewitt Van Court, which will in
c,ude Cliff Reuman, amateur middle
weight champion Of the coast. Another
pleasing number will be the statuary
act, showing famous characters.

The purity and quality of milk.
always an important factor, should
impress itself upon us more and
more as the heated term APP
proaches and the dangers of con-
tamination increase.
1t is well pointed out in this con-
nection that the milk producers
are by no means the only people
to blame for troubles now and then
traced to a milk supply as their
source. The consumer has a duty
Of his own to perform, which, too
often, is neglected from ignorance
or carelessness or both.
The following rules, suggested
for the care Of milk in the home, are
simple and sensible; if generally
followed would greatly reduce, we
venture to say, the amount Of fault
finding which the average milkman
has to take as a part of his daily
round.
/. Take in milk and cream as
soon as possible after being left at
your door and place in the refriger-
ator.
2. Keep milk and cream cold
until ready for use. The bottom
Of the refrigerator is colder than
the ice container.
3. If ice cannot be had, wrap
the bottle in a wet cloth and stand
it in a dish of water by an open
window, out of the sun; evapora-
ton of the water will cool the milk.
4. Keep milk or cream covered
until wanted, and in the bottle in
which it is delivered { in open bowls
or pitchers they will absorb odors
from food and collect flies and dust.
5. Pour from this bottle only
what milk or cream is needed for
immediate use.
g. Milk or cream that has become
warm should never be poured back
into the bottle of coldImilk.
z. Utensils used fdr milk should
be rinsed with cold water and then
with boiling water, thoroughly
drained and allowed to become
cold before being filled with milk.
s. Wash and return all milk or
cream bottles daily.
9. Have a separate quart of
milk for the baby; what he does
not use, others may have.

The matter of the pollution of our
waters is bound to bother until it
is settled right. because it is
a matter Of prime Importance.
The Boston Herald says editorially
Failure of the Legislature to
take decisive action to prevent the
further pollution of rivers by sew
age is to be regretted. Hesitation
in this matter is dangerous to the
health of communities. The pro-
lection of rivers from pollution is a
problem that is attracting attention
throughout the Union, and many
Legislatures during the past year
have taken decisive action restrain
ing public and private interests
from continuing the use of rivers
as sewers. At the meeting OF the
Association of State and Provincial
Boards of Health, held last week, a
committee report was submitted
making a general survey of this
sanitary reform throughout the
country. Studies of existing condl-
tons were presented showing many
epidemics of typhoid due directly
to the presence of sewage in rivers,
and also the destruction of fish life
in the streams and the necessitated
abandonment of rivers as means OF
popular enjoyment in boating and
bathing. Much progress in com
batting this evil was reported. In
New Jersey ffty-four publication
plants have been installed, and
twenty-four other communities are
under orders for immediate install
lation of such service A general
law has been passed prohibiting
cities, towns or individuals from
polluting rivers. Ohio has similar
general law and four cities have
been ordered to install publication
plants through action instituted
by the Acknowledgement. Indiana
has taken up the question seriously.
Florida reports a number OF sewage
plants. Kansas has fifteen
plants in operation, and in Texas
the condition of the streams is such
that legislative action is likely.
Maryland sis considering a general
law, and local interest in Baltimore
has resulted in the inception of a
large filtration plant. The report
Of the committee credits Massachu-
,etts authorities with careful
study of the subject, but without
action. while New Hampshire is
exported to be without a sewerage

1t is probable that much as we
know of the knavery of Abe Ruef,
the former boss of San Francisco,
who has recently been imprisoned,
much concerning his schemes will
not come to the public ear. Mr..
Spreckles told recently on the wit
ness stand of how Ruef intended
to make money on San Francisco
bonds. According to his testimony,
Ruef would bring about conditions
so that a syndicate could buy the
bonds practically for nothing. His
scheme, according to Ruef's de-
scription. was this: -" You know my
connection with the labor union
people. When the bids are about
to be submitted we will have the
biggest strike this town ever saw.
I will tie up everything, including
the street railways. Then | would
like to see any Of your capitalistlc
friends, except those in on the
know, submit bids for these bonds"
1t is exceedingly doubtful if the
rank and file Of Union members
would approve Of the leaders making
such an use of the power of their
organization, and the fact that so
many of their leaders have taken
advantage of their positions for
their private ends, is leading the
unions to put their more trust
worthy men into the responsible
positions. A few more exposures
like Abe Ruef and it should be
hard for men agitators to WELD
the power of united labor to such
ends.

TO UNEARTH MUCH PROPERTY

Little Rock June f. Ever since the State Tax Commission be- came a reality the railroads of the state have been filing with 1t lists showing the taxable prop erty owned by them in the state Next Monday the commission will commence checking up these lists and it will take some time to go over them with representatives of the roads. After this has been done David A. Gates member of the Commission will make a trip over every line and check up the property. It is thought this will uncover much property which is now escaping taxation and add considerably to the rev enue of the state. In the past the work of assessing the railroads and private car companies, was done by the Governor Auditor and Secretary of State and there nev- CT was much time devoted to it.

 There appears to be little doubt that there will be a fair crop Of apples this year, It is ex- pected that 10000 or more cars of the famous products of Ben ton county will be shipped before the season ends and the indica- tiOns are that the market will be excellent.
