 Sir Edgar Elgar's remarkable set- ting of Cardinal Newmans inspired poem, The Dream of Gerontius," had its first performance at the Birming- ham, England. festival of 300, and made the composer. whose name at that time wes scarcely known outside the provineAl English festival towns famous almost over night.
 Two years later 1t was given at Q Lower Rhenish Festival at Dussel- dorf and was there acclaimed by the Continental critics with the greatest enthusiasm, assuring for Sir Edward a place among the greatest living composers. ft
 The Dream of Gerontius," now 1B years after its first production, stands higher in the estimation of musicians and in the favor of the musical public x than ever.

struction within three years of 157 war

dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers
to be built next year
By vote of As to IS the senate re-
jected an amendment to require three
of the new battleships to be kept on
the Pacific coast. 1t was argued that
the amendment would be an infringe
ment on the constitutional authority of
the president as the commander-in-
chief of the navy.
Senators Jones and Phelan insisted
that the Pacific coast always had been
sighted in naval ships and the latter
emphasized dangers of Japanese in
vasion. Senator Clapp opposed the
building program and secuted the dan
ger of war with a foreign power. The
ships to be constructed July l, 1919
under the senate program follows:
Battleships, 10, four this year.

COUNTY HOSPITAL is
DISCUSSED BY DR.. PIKE
Physician Gives Views on Subject and
Talks About Early History of Twin
Falls Hospital.

Relative to the hospital matter
said DR.. w. F. Pike to a TIMES re-
porter today, "the fact that the Twin
Falls hospital was originally con-
structed as a public hospital is not
realized by a great many citizens OF
this city. This fact has a bearing on
the relatively low valuation now put
upon it, as it was originally consider
ed on the tax list as charity hospi-
tai. The hospital was begun in the
early days at time when typhoid had
been raging in this city, and when
many who were suffering from the dis
ease were living in shacks where they
could not be properly taken care or.
A bunch of us, including DR.. T. o.
Boyd, Frank Kimball. Fred Voight, P
]. Costello, M. P. DeLong, Fred Har-
ris and myself, started the movement
and popular subscriptions were taken
up, for which stock was issued. The

was small and the amount of stock
