WEDNESDAY, CLUB WILL
GIVE GREAT CONCERTS

Musicians and musical critics who
have been permitted to attend the re-
cent rehearsals of the Wednesday
Club Chorus, which will be a bright,
particular feature of the Spring Music
Festival, are loud in their praise of
the magnificent choral work OF the
organization.
The chorus this year includes vol
ume of ESQ voices, picked from list
OF more than 400 singers, many of
whom have had the ad"sn tage of tech
meal training. The choral conductor
Louis E. Weitzel, Is coming in for en-
thusiastic congratulations upon the
excellent results OF his indefatIga bic
efforts In the long season devoted to
rehearsals. The conductors enthus-
iasm seemed TO infect the singers from
the beginning.
The big chorus responded encourag-
ingly when the rehea-sals were once
under way, melting the conductor to
make his demands on the splendid
choir of voices more and more exact

to postpone public announcement un

be completely eliminated
That the large seating capacity Of
the City Auditorium will bo taxed TO

musical public Of Richmond Is taking

of the work for which tho club stands.

Time card No. GA, to take effec'
at 1905 a. M, November 8, ha!
been issued by the Oregon ShorI
Line. This is the usual winter caro-
but contrary to the usual practice
makes no changes in the running Of
regular trains on the main line. The
most important change, and one
that is of the most interest to the
people Of Po~catello, is an arrange
ment whereby the Minidoka to Bull
passenger train on the Twin Falls
branch we'll hereafter run through
to P~ocatello. Leaving it will make
connections with No. 1, the north
bound Salt Lake to Butte train, and
returning will connect with No. 4,
the southbound train from Butte to
Salt Lake. The train will be known
as No. 1876 westbound and No. 1853
eastbound. No. 1856 leaves Bull at
6:15 p. m. arriving at Minidoka at
9:45 p. m. leaving there at 10:45
p. m. and reaching Pocatello at -:
10. This will afford southbound
passengers a chance to connect with
No. 2, southbound, or spend the
night in Pocatello.
Returning, No. 1853 will leave Po-
catello at 1925 a. M, arriving at
Minidoka at 1905 p. m.
The motor car between Aberdeen
and Pocatello will hereafter connect
with the Mackay branch train at
Blackfoot and arrive here earlier
than usual. The running time on
the Mackay branch of the out
bound train has been changed, leav-
ing Mackay hereafter at 2:15 p. m.
instead of 2.45 and reaching Black
foot at 5:25 instead of $50. The
motor car will leave Aberdeen at
the usual time of $50 p. m. and pull
out of Blackfoot after the Mackay
train is in at $40, reaching here at
$50 instead of 7:15 p. m.

roots of leguminous plants. These
latter bacteria grow in the nodules
and fix atmospheric nitrogen forming
the soluble nitrates. The plants then
absorb these nitrates using them as
food and build complex organic sub
stances from them. These organic
substances are then returned to the
soil as ~decaying organic matter and
are finally converted into n%itrates by
bacteria.
Notification is brought about by
several groups of organisms. The
first step in nitricfiation is the decay
of organic matter and the formation
of ammonia and other decomposition
products. This step is brought about
by a group of organisms known as
the putrefactive organisms. The sec
ond step is the formation of nitrites
from this ammonia. This is brought
about by a group of organisms known
as the nitrate builders. The third step
is the formation of nitrates from
nitrates. This step is brought about
by a group of organisms called the
nitrifyers. After having reached the
stage of soluble nitrates the nitro
gen is then in the proper form for
plant food. Of the three sources
of nitrogen previously mentioned
this last is probably the most i'm
portant.

from nitriication. 1t was formerly
supposed that they absorbed all OF
their nitrogen from the air in the
form Of ammonia but has sinceybeen
proven that plants get most Of their
nitrogen from the soil IN the form OF
nitrates.
The soil acquires the nitrates
through the aid of bacteria, except
where commercial fertilizers are ap-
piled. These bacteria are divided in
to two groups; those bacteria which
fix atmospheric nitrogen, and those
bacteria which form nitrates from de-
caying organic matter.
