Passenger Starts Row.

One belligerent passenger last
night insisted that the conductor
sign his receipt. The car man re-
fused. and held up the car for two
hours, while the valley people
were anxious to go home.
Murmurings changed to threats.
The trolley was yanked off, and
the windows broken. The car men
tried to throw the insurgent off
the car. The rest of the passen-
gers defied them and protected
the belligerent.
City police, hurrying in automo-
biles, checked the rioting and or
dered the cars to proceed. An
overflow indignation meeting an
hour later passed resolutions ask
ing the city to buy the road at its
assessed value.

Mr.. Burton has not gone deeply into the
subject of the scales represented in the
Indian songs, but he has recorded the
prevalence of the succession of intervals
commonly called the pentatonc scale in
Ojibway melodies, and has expressed his
disbelief in the theory upon which MIR.
Benjamin Ives Gilman so stoutly and illogi-
cally insists, that some Indians have such
refined ears that, though they have not yet
reached the conception of a scale of either
pure or tempered intervals, such as is at
the basis of European music, they never

writer how some twenty years ago. when
he ventured for good reasons. wholly pro-

curacy Of the prescriptions made by Mr.
Gilman Of some Zufii melodies. which
showed a sudden shifting of a small frac-
tional tone which could not be represent
ed on the staff OF modern music, he was
met with the triumphant shout that the
wonder of phonograpic reproduction lay In
the very fact that the instrument recorded
degrees of pitch which might pass the ear
unobServed. But the Zuhi melodies had
been recorded with the help Of treadle

The third melody Is that of the Ojbway
sorg which obsessed the mind of Mr.. Bur
ton. Its text Mr.. Burton translates liter
ally: ~ am out all night on the river, but
he makes a love song out of il to express
what the Indian singer meant but didn't
say. The fourth is the tune of a cere-
me NAL song OF the grand medicine society
of the Ojibways. The formula can be found
a score of times in almost any report of
the chronological bureau containing descrip-
uons OF Indian ceremonies. 1t represents a
type that has existed for centuries It's
persistence proves the absence of artistic
impulse among the Indians, where music
is adjunct of ritual ceremony. re-
ligious or secular. a medium of emotional

beauty. Ard therefore all the rhapsodies

An exchange says that the pro-

ting large tracts of irrigated land
on the market are gradually ac-
quiring little wisdom. One of
these concerns in the west has let
a contract involving over half a
million dollars for the installation
OF complete system of drainage
before the bitches are constructed
to bring in the water. Heretofore
we have been doing these things
backward and have made a nice
mess of it in most instances. Ia
drained land has gone to seep un
til the alkali has ruined every
thing and nothing has been done
to relieve the situation. We can
see the advantage of putting in
the drainage first and the COM
pany that does this will have its
land sold while the other fellows
are hunting for buyers.
