GILBERT WANTS BAND
CONCERTS IN VIRGINIA

From Mondays Daily.
The city council of Virginia would
do wise thing in providing for band
concerts in its beautiful parks next
summer. Last year hundreds of people
from different parts Of the range,
looked forward to the concerts given
in Olcott park by the Mohami band.
Every lover of good music took adj
vantage Of the excellent programs
rendered by this musical organization.
The Mohami band this year has a
larger and better Instrumentation, and
the concerts that would be given by
them would do credit to the
largest cities in the country. Vir-
ginia can we'll boast of one of the best
musical organizations in the state or
northwest.
Mr.. Eugene Laugier, the director, is
one Of the best in his line that could
be wished for. His work for the past
winter will be appreciated when his
band appears in public this season.
Lougier cannot be excelled as lead
er and his discipline spart Of his sue
cess in the musical world.
The new city council will make no
mistake in securing the Mohami band
in concert work every Sunday and the
money expended in that direction
would be wise expenditure. The
good people of Virginia should make
unanimous request for Sunday con-
certs. It will be the means Of bring
ing thousands Of people together at
the range Metropolis during the sum-
mer and make the summer months
more pleasant for the entire COM
munity.-Gilbert Herald.

Carelessness Causes Fire.

Matches thrown aside carelessly by
a plumber who was thawing out water
pipes in the basement, are thought to
have caused a fire in house at lis
Fay street, last night. By the time
the fremen had arrived the flames
had eaten their way between the par
titions from the basement to the attic
and were burning briskly. The damage
to the building was about $165. The
house is owned by Alex Peltonicmi Of
Gilbert, and is occupied by the family
Of Otto Rundo, who about six weeks
ago was burned out near the screen
factory. None of the contents was
harmed. The plumber had been gone
about an hour when the fire was dis
covered.
