0LD PEOPLE
 IN PHOENIX
There Are At Least Two Persons Who Long Ago Passed the Century Mark, One Said to be 115 Years Old.

Sonora IIcrlnda Enriqucz. a learned and highly esteemed young married lady. residing back of 135 Potoric hcme) East Van BuTcn street, in reading the account in Thursday mornings Republican Of Mexican woman los years of age being in Judge C. w Johnstone'S court d witness in behalf of her octogenarian son, recalled the incident that she was acquainted with a Mexican wO- l.an now residing in Phoenix 1l5 years old
 Sonora Euriqucz does not Know the exact location and home of this ven oriblc patriot at present for some time has elapsed since she saw and talked with her. but that she has every reason to believe that she is yet living and resides somewhere in the city.
 The woman's name ls Senora Luz Parra. who was born in Hermosilio. Mexico, 115 years ago. She had grown well into young Womanhood when her parents emgrated to Tue son. then a Mexican pueblo of q few scattering houses. There Senorita Luz Para was married to LoretO Garrado. for whom the whom the octogenarian son vas named. Then both families removed to the Salt River valley. stopping in Tempe then composed of not a half dozen MeXi- can families. Sonora EnriqueZ can not recall much about Sonora Para from that time on. but became ac- quainted and talked with her on vari- ouS occasions here in Phoenix. The removal Of the two families from Tucson to Tempe must evidently ante date any of the history of the coun try up to and subsequent to a long period.
 Since this matter and subject has come 10 the notice of the public so prominently. Sonora Enriqucz will make inquiry and prosecute a search for Sonora Parra's whereabouts and home. when the makers of early Ari- zona history can pay her a visit and learn from her own lips some of the l experiences of the Salt River valley | pioneers.

J. M. Mcssinger Tells Why Tke Oorn, Ivimey Gluck Recital Was

To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir:
 In reply To Miss Lilly DoTn's state ment in the recent interview of your reporter with said representative of the Chuck orn-Ivimey Trio which was to perform at the Elhs Thcater on Saturday evening March the twen ty-thirJ and did not. because the local manager closed the doors and turned the people away. I wish to stare that when l went down to the thcater Manager Hoefer told me that not enough seats had been sold to pay for the electric lights so I de- cidcd to omit the performance since my guarantee called for $35G, and l had already lost several hundred on Bisbee and Globe so l did nos care to lose anything on PhoeniX.
 There was nothing in my closing the doors of the theater to indicate that I did not consider Phoenix musi- cal for I know it is and needs no proof Of the fact
 some of the best piano lessons I ever received were righ here in Phoenix but one thing is certain music teachers not only in Phoenix but in other Arizona towns and in other United States towns should look out for their own interests enough to use every effort to get their pupils to attend all concerts whether given at the Elk's theater or at the Arizo q School of Music
 music pupil will often learn moro from hearing an artist perform than they do in ten regular lessons, nol that the concert will take the place Of even one lesson but the inspiration received from hearing and seeing an artist perform whether vocally or in strumentally means more and better work on the part of the pupil
 Pupils need example and incentive especially in this hot climate.
 While in San Francisco I noticed that the pupils of a certain prominent teacher were conspicious by their ab- sence at piano recitals. While attending q certain concert of Harold Bauer or Josef Hoffman I asked Will Green baum the San Francisco impressario why MT Blank and his pupils so rarely attended recitals and he re- piled half jocosely. "I presume he is afraid the artist will show up his work
 But this was of course a Joke for this man was an excellent teacher but he certainly did lack enthusiasm for music and seemed loath to put forth his best efforts to work for art as d true artist should.
 Very truly
