INSTRUCTOR IN VIOLIN
ID. ID. ParmeIee of Oberlin, Has Arriy.
ed and Outlines His Work in the
University

That the music department of the
university will have very active ant
enthusiastic instructor in violin play
ing and in orchestra work is mani
fest from the plans of d. d. Parmelee
who arrived last night from the con
servatory of music at Oberlin to take
up his duties here.
Mr.. Parmelees program as outlined
when interviewed, includes for the
years work the organization of the
orchestra at the earliest possible date
the Inauguration of classes in en-
semble playing, the registration OF pu-
pills for individual instruction and the
preparation of programs for the stu
dents to make public appearances
Mr. Parmelee is now ready to receive
any applications for violin instruc-
ton from either the townspeople OF
the student body and will be in List
hall for that purpose every afternoon.
Preliminary examinations for mem
3aership in the orchestra will begin
: 1t once.
81 am delighted to find,' said Mr..
Parmelee, "that the string quartet
(which gave so much pleasure last year
is all here again. 1t will prove a
splendid nucleus for future work. |
think the interest already displayed
in the orchestra is most encouraging.
,1x oh n O
work started which will give chance
to play in public; and | am much
in favor of the method of assigning
solos to several pupils so that they
may play the solos in unison and thus
all benefit from the performance before
an audience. 1t is my hope that
townspeople who are interested in
violin playing will cooperate with me
and help to build up that feature in the
student life Work in the department
promises to be interesting and varied.
Mr.. Parmelee's coming to Idaho was
not part of his plans until recently,
but the European war suddenly drove
him home from Germany where he
expected to spend the year in study
under the great violin teacher, Caesar
Thompson. He was visiting brother
in Leipsic, who plays double bass III
the Gewanhaus orchestra founded by
Mendelssohn, when the war broke out.
During the mobilization OF German
troops he tried to get to Holland ana
was arrested twice as an English spy.
He was thankful to escape with his
life. Unable to get quarters IN Rot-
terdam, which was crowded with
Americans, he stayed in Amsterdam
until he could get passage on one OF
the Holland-American boats for which i
he waited more than three weeks
Mr.. Parmelee is graduate of the
1914 class of the Oberlin Conservatory
of Music. While a student he taught
both elementary and advanced classes |

Gus l.. Larson Writes Home of His
Trip Across the Continent and of
His Observations

G. L. Larson, the popular head of
| the mechanical engineering department
of the university, now absent on leave,
has written a most interesting ac-
count of his travels east and his ar
rival in Madison Wisconsin, where he
holds fellowship. Some extracts from
his letter will be eagerly read by his
numerous friends here:
"After weeks of wandering, we have
settled down enough to say that we
have got permanent address. We
had an interesting trip east, but were
tired enough to be glad when it was
over.
"It is needless to tell you of that
part of the trip from Moscow to Salt
Lake. After "a hours of travelling we
were no farther east than the point
we started from. At Salt Lake we did
the usual stunt of taking a swim at
Saltair, patronizing the Ruberneck
wagon, and listening to the Mormon
organ.
sThe Denver and Rio Grande trip
was as bad as ever. Every berth sold
to about four different people, and it
turned out to be a case of survival of
the fittest all the way to Denver. We
had to form regular bread line to
the dining car. One time we stood
in line over an hour and there were
many more behind us. There was the
usual free-for-all fight to get on the
open air observation car when we en-
tered the canyon. Mrs. Larson and /
got there!
From Chicago we went to Toronto
and from Toronto to Montreal by boat

Low Fare for Exposition Year.

Exposition railroad rate was fixed yesterday by the Transcontinental As soc,ation, which is meeting at the Pal ace Hotel. It is the best ever made to the Coast. It is so low that 1t is cal culated to attract an extraordinary nupber of Easteruers to California, and it has such d long return limit at. tached to it-three m0nths-that of the host who come to see, it is believed, a large proportion will remain to settle.
 The fares are round trip, with a re- turn limit of ninety days, and are scheduled as follows: Missouri river points to California common points that is, San Francisco. Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego. 50S (ths is the lowest frst-class fare one way at the present time): from St. Louis to Cali fOrna com mon points. 51 sos: Chicago, 62 sos: from Colorado common points that is, Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, 45S; Peoria. Ill.,, 59 50S.
 The Missouri river points are Omaho, St. Joseph, Atchison and Kan, sas City. Other cities and towns ly ing in the vicinity of the above-men tioned basical points will be given rates in proportion to their distances. These round trip tickets for the exDo- sitiou year will be sold March l, 1915 and November 30, 1915. The return limits will not extend longer than De- cember 3l, 1915. which will be after the close of the exposition.
 For tickets reading one way to San Francisco through the North Pacific Coast to such other points as Victorla, Vancouver. Portland and Seattle, the Shasta route usual arbitrary rate of l5S or i7.5OS will be added to the round-trip ticket.
 It now remains for the Eastern pas seuger associates to fix the rates from the Atlantic seaboard to the middle continental points. It is believed chat they will be correspondingly low and that they will be fixed within thirty days. San Francisco Chronicle.

Soil Enriched With Steam.

English market gardeners for years had such trouble with slugs, cutworms and other insects. says an English paper, that they never could be sure of good crops. They then hit upon the plan of introducing iron pipes into the soil of their yardeus aud forcing great quantities of hot steam through the pipes. In this manner the steam kill ed all these insects, and also the eggs that were in the soil awaiting time for de velopment into more crop destroy ing insects. The experiment. worked so well that scores of such gardenmen prepared plants for steaming the soil of their gardens, and as result. after a few years of this, it was found that killing of da amaging insects was by no means the only benefit that steam gave. In other words, steam proved to be one of the very best fertilizers So great was the fertilization of the soil by them that it was found the usual amount ot fertilizer used would have to be diminished. or the ground would become altogether too rich for the best growing garden truck. After considerable experimenting and in vestigatiug it was learned that the in creased fertilization was due Co the sterilization which it produced, killing the phayocytes or protezoa. keep down the number of bacteria in the soil. which operations are of such great benefit ia changing organic nitrogen into the needed plant food.

Reviving Old Mines.

Scores of old mines lie around loose in all che mining sections of the West. Tue hard headed and stiff backed leas- CT takes hold of the best ot these ciaims. many of which have a history of faituce, and a success follows. The reason is obvious to chose who have been present durlng the making of that tnstory-those who first worked tue clains lacked experience, or de- pended upon the sale of stock to bol- sser up the proposition. The leaser has to make good" or lose his own m onev aud labor. He is almost always an ex- perieaced miner.
 In this connection, an article re, centiy written by c. $. Johnson, an eminently successful mining man, hits rue nail on che head. In part it is as follows: "Whatever be the line of endeavor in which one engages, bcoad experience in that particular direction is of tremendous importance. Of miu- iuS ousS 'o SSpSN'"'y SiND. iuUCCu, believe it may be truthfully stated that broad experience is more essen. ttai to success in mining than in auy other iudustry 0f which I am aware A broad experience in mining, which involves some successes and some dis appointments, IS absolutely esseutial to tue development of keen mining judgment. Technical training, intey- rity. enthusiasm and persistence are alt important qualifications in success fui miuing operations, but all these without extensive practical experience are very likely Go fall short of success. These qualifications, however, togeth- CT with that essential experience. make a combination that certainly will being success in generous meas ure.''
 As local object lessons which bear out thts idea are the developments withiu the past year or so in Eureka, in the Walker district: the Poverty, in the Slate CreeS district; the Davis, in the Senator district; the Vulture, in Maricopa county, and others.-Pres- couC Courier.
