YOUNG LADIES Or
GANIZE AUXILIARY

It has been the desire for some
time of Mrs, Clevenger president of
the Ladies' Auxiliary, to effect an
organization among the daughters
of the Commercial Club members to
interest them in the work Of civic
improvement. and to enlist their
help in carrying on the work Of the
Auxiliary. The first steps toward
this we're taken Monday evening
when about fifteen girls met In the
Ladies Parlors to discuss the posi-
bilities for such an organization.
Sufficient interest was shown to
promise It's success and, accordingly,
a temporary chairman and secretary
were elected and the work begun. a
committee was appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws, and to be
ready TO report at the next meeting.
Misses Lillian Riggs, Jessie Hale and
Jessie Masten composed the commit
tee. Plans for work were discussed
and several lines suggested. The
girls adjourned TO meet again Tues
day evening, October -, at 7
o'clock. All who are interested are
invited to be out.

AN IMPORTANT GATHERING OF
THE MEMBERS
HAVE PUNCH AND WATERS
The Beginning of Series of Delight
full and Interesting Enter
tainments.

The work of the Ladies' Auxiliary
begins this fall with good promise
of an enthusiastic winter, If the
meeting Monday afternoon is any
evidence. Over thirty members
were present, all of them signifying
their purpose to continue member
ship in the organization by signing
the amended constitution and pay
ing their quarterly dues. Two new
names were received, Mrs. Wolfer-
berger and Mrs. Hersey.
Mrs. A. B. Cornell reported large
exhibit of needlework was ready to
be sent to the district fair at Ash
land, even a choicer one than was
exhibited at Grants Pass This will
add much to the attraction of the
Josephine county display.
The house committee reported the
progress made in the furnishing of
the parlors. AS the work is not yet
completed the committee was re-
tanned. A kitchen shower is being
planned for the near future, 1t is
the desire of the organization to
have a fully equipped kitchen that
the social features may be carried
out more successfully.
Upon the completion Of the bust
ness the ladies were invited to ad-
iourn to the parlors where punch
and waters were served by Misses
Jessie Hale and Eula Howard, The
next hour and half were spent In
social enjoyment, Mr.. Frederick
Bartlett dropped in to tell the ladies
of his success with the piano busi-
ness. and assured them Of the assist
ance of the Commercial Club in this
effort. Whereupon Mrs. Clevenger
took the opportunity to appoint a
committee of three to confer with
the Commercial Club for final action
in the matter Of securing a piano
for the rooms.
The ladies had as guest OF honor
for the afternoon Mrs, J. w. How
ard, a former resident Of Grants
p,ge As ebn is remembered nv a
large circle Of friends, she was asked
to speak to those present and told
in a most entertaining way of the
early days here, showing some very
interesting relics Of those times.
This gathering Monday afternoon
IS but the beginning Of many de-
llightful social hours to be spent tn
the ladies parlors. The outlook for
the future is bright.

THE EULA HOWARD
PIANO RECITAL

All real lovers OF good music will
remember the concert In the opera
house Wednesday evening as the
musical event Of the season. Much
was expected OF Eula Howard and
Miss Kinney and no one was dsap-
pointed.
Miss Howard is always the finish
ed musician. With technique so
brilliant that every note stands out
clear and distinct she combines a
quality Of tone wonderfully round
and full She has the soul OF the
true artist Her appreciation Of the
great masters was compelling In It's
depth Of feeling and revealed In
every note rare individuality.
The Chopin numbers gave to many
a new idea Of the great imagination
OF the artist who put his affection,
his patriotism, his hope and his
hcrolsm into music. "IIs music
poetry set to exquisite sounds" and
only the true musician can make us
understand this modest, mild, heroic
reyolutlonst. Miss Howard with
rare poetic instinct gives w the In
sight into a soul that feels and
knows. II Is remarkable that 80
young an artist should have such
power.
Miss Howard has made n special
study Of Chopin but In spite OF her
clear Interpretation OF that master,
she appeared at her best in the
"Liebestraume" by Liszt, and in the
finale. "Fledermaus Waltzer," by
Strauss-Schuett. II was fitting
climax to program such as q
audience will not hear again for
many a day.
Miss Marjorie KInney's voice was
n pleasant revelation TO her many
friends. Her rich, deep contralto
filled the large auditorium with re-
markable power Break. Break,
Break" by Corey, was her best mum.
Der. Here she revealed the quality
Of voice OF great promise.
The Ladies' Auxiliary ls TO be
thanked for giving Grants Pass an
opportunity to hear these accom-
pllshod young ladies'.

geuce it can be found. Success Is
not always reached by the long and
toilsome road; brains and energy
will bring It in most instances. Lack
of these qualifications ordinarily
brings despair.
A story is told Of shin nj sea
with numerous crew and a long
passenger list. A storm came up and
drove the vessel far from It's course
and adverse winds kept 1t for many
days from getting back. The cap
tain and crew were In despair for the
stores were giving ont and the water
casks were nearly empty. In this
dilemma they had the good fortune
to hear the man at the lookout call
"Sail Ho, Sail, Ho!" This cry put
new life and hope In the passengers
and energy In the captain and crew.
The vessel was put about, signals of
distress were run up, and the wind
being headed In the right quarter.
they went bounding over the billows
to head off the relief ship. The
stranger saw the signals of distress
and changed her course so as to meet
the other vessel When the two
ships reached within haillng dis
tance the captain of the unfortunate
vessel shouted through his trumpet,
1--WE are perishing for want OF
water" The other skipper shouted
back "Throw over your buckets"
They at once did so and brought up
fresh water Of the best quality and
their parched tongues were relieved.
They were at the mouth of the ANA
Zon and amid the fresh waters Of
the largest river in the world.
This Is case In point. The water
Is near and you have only. so to
speak, to throw over your buckets
and apply the life giving fluid to the
parched land and II will save the
county and bring fortune to the
farmers. Throw over your buckets
and make this the most prosperous
section In the state.

A fine of 500 on Coburn and $500
.on Fetsch, which was paid under pro-
test.

Origin Of The Club Sandwich.

Alan Johnstone is said to have origi-
mated the famous club sandwich, and
the story runs that on going TO the
club one night between midnight and
daybrcak he found the cafe closed, the
cooks gone, and, being nearly famlsh-
cd, he invaded the larder, toasted him
self some thick slices of bread, sliced
them through, buttCrGd them while
hot and laid thereon everything he
found in the refrigerator-cold chick
en-, ham and lettuce, with a spoonful
of mayonnalse. The result was such
an eplcurean discovery as is not often
made, but the story was too good to
keep. He conhded the recipe to his
cronies, and 1t straightway became
one of the popular dishes Of the club
menu, and so the father of the club
sandwich, so deservedly popular, is
the present British minister to Copen-
hagen Washington Herald.

DOES MUSIC PAY?
Modern Earnings Compared With Old
Time Prices.

Time Prices.
Lewis NJ. Isaacs has an interesting
article In the Bookman on the earn.
ings of musicians and publishers.
Times have changed. Schubert sold his
best songs for 20 cents each, and Mo-
zart got 500 for each Of his two best
operas. To-day the tales Of royalties
paid composers make the profits of a
Wall street broker seem small by COM
that George Cohan makes $1,000
week or Victor Herbert 100000 a year
out Of his music the actual figures are
big enough to give color to the story.
It has only just been announced that
the Rome, Turin and Milan opera
houses have each paid Richard Strauss
$1,000 for the bare right to produce his
opera 'Elektra,' a work not even yet
completed and Of the success of which
there cannot be any present assurance
whatsoever. Oscar Hammersten is
reported to have paid the composer
$4,000 TO secure the American rights
Of performance. Strauss is certainly
taking revenge for the treatment ac-
corded musicians Of the past. Mas
cagni's one act opera, 'Cavalleria Rusti-
cana brought the composer 100000,
besides winning the SonzogO prize.
Hansel und Gretel brought Humper-
dinck $4,000 in a single twelvemonth,
while Puccini's earnings from his OPP
cras, while difficult TO estimate, accu-
mulating as they do from so many
sources, must be conservatively $780,
