since the moonlight Sonata" has be-
come deep-rooted in the garden of the
l. human heart. In the beauty of its fire.
quent Towering, old loves long lost have come back
to whisper sweet words, and dear faces, long hid,
have smiled once again; sorrow upon sorrows nave
been banished to forgetfulness.
And countless thousands have cried with the cob
bers sister, at so beautiful but beyond my power
Beyond your power? No. Not now. The great
glorious world of music is at your command
Beethoven is waiting at your door and with him
wonderful company. All who have made music what
it is are there, from quaint and stately Handel and
Bach, to the living composers of to-day
Don't you want music in your home! Music, one
of the great necessities of life, whose soothing and
inspiring influence has blessed mankind from civili-
zation's earliest dawn!
The Pianola-the most modern panoforte, the
most important and successful musical invention OF
all time-was made especially for you.
Not merely to let you hear music-but to let you
play music-this is The Pianola's mission.
To enable you to sit at the panoforte, and play
Beethovens Moonlight Sonata" with all of the per-
Torrance your very own except the purely technical
part of striking the notes.
Tomorrow night you can play the Moonlight
Sonata if you wish. And every succeeding night
you can play some great new masterpiece of music,
developing your taste, widening your outlook on life
and increasing both your mental and your physical
efficiency.
The exclusive features of The Pianola like the
Metrostyle and the Themodist-features that dis
tnguish it from all other socaled ''payer-panos"
supply any possible deficiency in musical taste and
training.
This is why The Pianola, and The PianoIa alone OF
all such instruments has gained the support of prac
tcay all the great musicians and musical educators
of the world.
The Pianola is like the conventional pianoforte with
keyboard for hand playing. 1t may be obtained in
either the Grand or Upright model in the following
famous makes-The Steinway Pianola, The Steck
Pianola, The Wheelock Pianola, The Stuyvesant
Pianola, The Stroud Pianola, and The Famous Weber
Panoa.

He opened the door. There at the table sat the
brother mending shoes. The girl, crying softly,
bowed her head upon the old piano.
Pardon me, but | heard your music" said
Beethoven, land / also heard your wish. Perhaps,
if you will allow me, can fulfill it."
The cobbler thanked him. "But our piano is so

She gave Beethoven her place at the piano. He ran
his fingers along the yellowed keys Under his touch
the worn strings sang as if born anew, and out of the
old instrument trooped hosts Of his compelling
melodies to surround and captivate the wondering
pair The flame of the one candle sputtered ftfully
and presently went out. The youth slipped over and
threw open the shutters. AS the moonlight flooded
the room, the pianist paused.
"Who and what are you?" gasped the cobbler,
scarce knowing he was speaking.
Listen" answered the master, and he played the
first few bars of his Sonata in F.

CRUSHER FOR THE OWASCO

During the past week new crusher
has been installed at the Owasco mine,
which will permit Of doubling the
quantity of ore treated. The crusher
will be operated in conjunction with
the ten stamps already in commission.
No new process of treating the ore
has been introduced, neither is it con-
templated at this time, as under the
present management high per cent
age of the values in the ore is being
saved on the plates and in the con-
centrates. Mr.. Harper is handling the
mine systematically, and is getting
very encouraging returns. The ore in
the Owasco workings is very extensive,
and the quality of the ore Is of a
character that insures returns to the
operators. Mr.. Harper is well salts
fled with results so far, and has con-
fidence in the property we'll worth the
time and money necessary to thorough
ly develop it. The Owasco is located
SO near Oroville that it's success would
prove to be strong factor in the pros
perity and upbuilding of the place. AS
this paper has had occasion to SO fire.
quently state paying mine near at
hand would exercise greater influ-
ence upon the growth of Oroville than
any other one enterprise or industry,
and if the hopes of those working the
Owasco are realized the residents of
the town will have an opportunity to
ascertain the accuracy of the claim
advanced by the Gazette.

TO DRAW AN ORDINANCE

The presenting of a petition asking
that franchise be granted to the
Similkameen Power company, at the
council meeting Monday night, was
followed by the presentation of pro-
test against granting the franchise
asked for. Discussion of the PROPOSE
ton was taken part in by applicants
and protestants, and the subject pretty
thoroughly ventilated. The talk was
of an amicable nature, with the senti-
ment generally prevailing that a mod
ification of the franchise as asked for
would eliminate contention and settle
the question definately, the mayor ap-
pointed committee composed of R
P. Hoskyn, j. F. Samson, Judge G. H
Neal and the officers of the power
company to confer together and draft
an ordinance that would protect all
parties and meet the approval of the
council. This colaborated ordinance
will be submitted to the council at Its
meeting next Monday evening.

s. s. CONVENTION

During May 1915 will occur at Spo-
kane the big Inland Empire Sunday
School Association convention. This
is an annual affair and has always
created quite an interest in this coun-
ty. Each Sunday school in the county
is entitled to send delegates to this
convention and in the past there has
always been a goodly number respond
ed. The affair is a treat to all who
are in anyway interested in that line
Of church work. John L. Alexander,
OF Chicago, known as the Teen Age
Specialist" in the Sunday school world
will have a prominent part on the pro-
gram. In all there will be over twen-
ty-five speakers, all expert in their
line. The railroad will furnish 1-3
rates on all roads on the certificate
plan, and Spokane will furnish free
entertainment on the Harvard plan to
all who send in their names promptly
within the next week. 1t is expected
that both of the local Sunday schools

In A CLASS OF HIS OWN

The Eckhardt company carries a
two-piece orchestra. The boys who do
the orchestral turn are versatile GUS
ses, and when they are not producing
melody they are on the stage filling
in small parts. The pianist is some
ivory thumper, and as a digital acrobat
has Paderewaski sl-inned from the
Similkameen to Siwash creek. He may
not be as long as Wiski on hirsute or
namentation but he has the punch that
will put any foreigner on his back. He
has all of the trade marks of the ar
tist. He looks upon an audience with
cOntemptuous Indifference, as though
they were not educated up to his class,
and approaches the instrument with a
debonair swagger indicating that he
is master of the situation, and knows
t. There is no halt hor hesitation with
him. From the jump off he lights on
the key board with both feet, SO to
speak, skates down the keys with a
reckless abandon, galloping back to
the starting point with a speed that
threatens to jerk his hands off at the
wrists. He gives that piano no chance
to breathe, but hammers tn, whites
and punches the blacks with the vigor
and diligence of compressed air
operated Burleigh drill accompanying
the violent exercise with such a sway
ing of the body that the audience is in
momentary dread that he may break
off at the waist line. And it sounds
good, too, as there is no jar of discord,
a discord not having time to break
through the whirlwind of properly
touched off harmony The other party
to the orchestra is violinist, but this
is only apparent to the sight. The au-
dience sees a man and fiddle, and the
man seems to be saving away for dear
life, but the vibration of the strings
is so lost in the ring of the pianoforte
that the violinist seems to be merely
an ornamental part of the orchestra
Believe us, the Eckhardt pianist is
some artist, and can snatch about as
much pleasing noise out of the in
strument he fondles as any performer
who has ever hit the keys in public in
this place,

ercises, every one of which will be
keenly contested and correspondingly
exciting. The sharp rivalry will in
fluence participants to put forth their
best endeavors, and the boy who wins
will have to win on merit. There will
be ball game, mile and half mile
short distance and hurdle races, pole
vaulting, jumping, discus throwing,
and other feats of skill, strength and
endurance. Citizens have kindly
agreed to take visitors into their fami-
lies while they are here, and consider
ing the number expected this is about
the only means of providing accommo-
datioas for the crowd. Those who
have not already expressed readiness
to entertain these school visitors
should do SO at once by notifying Prof
Nance or Prof. Courtnay The hospi-
tality of the people of Oroville will be
put to the test on this occasion, and it
is felt that they will not be found
backward in extending cordial well

who come here representing the
schools of our neighboring towns.

ODD FELLOWS CONVENTION

The annual district convention OF
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
will be held in Oroville on Saturday
May 8. The district embraces the
county, and delegates are expected
from every lodge in the district. Be-
sides taking up matters pertaining
to the general good of the order there
will be a contest for banner put up
by the district for the most perfect
work In the first degree. Okanogan
carried off the trophy last year, and
there will be competing teams in at
tendance to make the Okanogan degree
team 50 some to retain the prize. Ses-
sions will be held afternoon and even
ing. The local Odd Fellows are max
ing extensive arrangements to re-
ceive and entertain visiting brethren,
and those from abroad who attend the
session will have reason to long re-
member their brief sojourn among
Oroville wearers of the links.

WORTH GAZING ON

Did you ever come down off the hills
from either the east or west side of
the valley after night and note the
myrid of lights marking the location
of Oroville? If you never have it
would be worth your while to make
trip into the hills ald time your
return so as to come in sight of the
valley after dark. The pleasing sight
and sensation, if you take any interest
in the town at all, will repay the
trouble many fold. For it's size there
is no more generously illuminated
town in the west than Oroville, and
looking down upon the village from a
distance after nightfall the valley
where the town nestles seems to be
sown as thickly as the dome of heaven
with sparkling lights, long rows Of fire
points looking like chair of glowing
beeds strung together on an invisible
wire. 1t may not be as gorgeous as a

go, San Francisco, Seattle or other

Monday the happy possessor of an en-
balmer's' license. He went to Spokane
for the purpose of taking the required

the highest average, that has ever un-
dergone examination in Spokane. This
test and it's result gives Mr.. Barnes the

and any certificate issued by him is
recognized as authority. While in Spo-
kane Mr.. Barnes contracted for mod
ern general purpose wagon, which
answers the purpose of both hearse

delivered within 60 days, when Mr..
Barnes will have the most complete
undertaking establishment in the

WENATCHEE VISITORS

A late issue of the Wenatchee World
states that large number of the men,
bers of the Wenatchee Commercial
Club, and consequently representa-
tive business men of that city, are ar
ranging to make a tour of the Okla
hogan country, the northern objective
point being Oroville, where they will
lay over one night. 1t is estimated
that there will be at least 100 excur-
siOnists. The travellers will take in
the entire MethOw and OkanOgan val
leys. 1t will be an educational trip
for the Wenatcheeites, as few of them
really realize what big country the
Okanogan is both in dimensions and
possibilities for the future, and the
valley is going to feel the effects OF
that visit by the increased interest
Wenatchee people are bound to take in
it after once becoming acquainted with
it's resources and population. Com
mercial Clubs of the various towns
along the route will give the excur-
sionists warm welcome. The local
organization should make provisions
for entertaining the strangers, and CIV
ing them as good a time as possible.
The World has this to say of the plans
as formulated
"On May 18th at seven o'clock in
the morning a caravan OF autOmO-
biles will leave this city with 100 men,
bers of the Wenatchee Commercial
club starting on an excursion to the
up-river country. This announcement
was made at the regular weekly lunch
con of the club today by Chairman Ru-
fus Woods Of the excursion committee.
He said the machines have been en-
gagged and that the cost per passenger
will be $40 for the round trip. The
committee is figuring on at least 100
persons for the excursion.
"The plan is to keep all the ma
chimes together on the up-trip, spend
ing the first night at Twisp in the Me-
thow valley, the second night at Omak
and Okanogan, and the third night at
Oroville. At that point the party will
disband, and excursionists may divide
up and make all the side trips de-
sired on the return. Some may wish
to 60 on up to Penticton and other
points in British Columbia.
"A feeling of utmost congeniality
exists between Wenatchee Commercial
club and all up-river organizations.
There is a bond between the several
sections by virtue of railroad, the riv-
er and the trunk highway Added to
this is the fact that the industries of
the sections are most similar and it is
felt that closer cooperation between
all points will be of mutual benefit"

ness men of Wenatchee the next fort
night is going to be very lively time

people to see that the visitors depart
