Salem has been anxious for a concert
all season but it was not found possible
to comply with the wish until it be.
came known that the Heilg would not
be available for the concert booked for

A large number Of local people have
heard this orchestra both in Portland
and at its previous appearance here,
and every one in any way familiar
with the excellent work done by the or.
ganization is delighted with the prospect
Of hearing il again on so nearby a date.
A few have been heard to criticise the
decision TO have the concert on Sunday,
but with the more literally minded this
objection is most inconsistent, as the
nature Of the music is Of the very high
est standard and selected for its inspir-
ing, educating and generally elevating
quality and when one considers the i'm.
portance Of higher class music in all re-
hgious or cultural efforts, all feeling Of
disapproval is Immediately banished.
The cost of presenting these affairs
Is tremenduous, and the management
has frankly admitted that it is not ex.
peeted that even with the opera hcnse
filled to capacity, win the proceeds
more than pay necessary expenses max.
ing IL imperative that all local music
lovers, or those imbued with the proper
civic pride, join in making the concert
a success.
