Interesting Stories of
 Orchestra Members
BIRMINGHAM woman, who ha

A BIRMINGHAM woman, who has
 A known something of the personnel 4 \ of the orchestra which comes to Birmingham in February, has contributed this interesting little story of two of it's members:
 "The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, which is to be heard in this city at a matinee and night performance on Febru- ary Is, is unique in that it is the only one of the great American orchestras which has grown to artistic maturity under the conductor which formed it, and still continues under his baton. Emil Oberhoffer has been the conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra from its inception F years ago, and the un- precedented development of this orchestra from it's beginning to it's present position as one of the greatest symphonic bodies in the world, is due largely to his genius, tact, and magnetic personality. MT. Ober- hoffer has been called the poet conduc- tor, and his interpretations are remark able for their virility, unusual musical insight, and temperamental warmth which lends a peculiar charm and reveals new and unsuspected beauties, even in familiar works.
 MT. Oberhoffer comes from a musical family and was born in Munich. He has had a wide musical experience as an operatic, choral and orchestral conductor, and has been in this country about 20 years.
 Behind the scenes of every profession and business is region quite as interest ing as that pertaining to the drama. In the dramatic world scene shifters, prop erty men and stage directors are never seen: yet unless their duties are well and faithfully performed the play is failure.
 Behind the scenes of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra is modest man, who performs his arduous and necessary task absolutely unknown to the audience This is Ademour M. Hoskins, librarian, who has full charge of the orchestra's col lection of scores which are valued at something like $15,000. Before every con cert MT. Hosllins is responsible for the placing, in proper order, upon every mu- scan's desk about 800 separate pieces of music, which he also must collect and re- turn to their proper places at the close of the concert. While the orchestra is on tour he has the added responsibility of packing and unpacking the music and seeing that the music trunk is ready for the baggageman in time to have it put on board the orchestra's special train be- fore it leaves for the next town When one learns that during his eight years as librarian, Mir Hoskins has never lost one single sheet of music one realizes the com petence of this secluded, but important member of the organization

WHAT THE TAX
ROLL WILL SHOW
A Net Increase of Over
$72,OO0.0O
1t is Thought That the Increase on
the Personal Roll Will Bring
Total to $3.50, 100000

The abstract of the tax roll for
1916, made in the office of the county
auditor shows net increase over
1915 of $72,397 So. 1t Is expected
that when the personal roll is made
up the total increase in valuation
will be upwards of $3.50, 100000.
The greatest increase shown are In
timber land and cattle. The yalua-
ton OF cattle this year ia $209, ,29O. 90.
as against $l22, ,270.O0 In 1915. Mer.
ehandise shows a considerable de-
crease on realty roll, but this Ia ac-
counted for by much OF the merchan-
disc being assessed as personal prop
erty this year that In 1915 was joined
with real estate. And the same is
true OF sheep, the valuation of aheep,
as shown on the realty roll this
year, Is only $8,396.60, but when the
personal property roll Is made up
the valuation Will be above the fig
ure OF last year The number OF
sheep appearing on the personal roll
Is lS9,9S5 with total valuation Of
1904 $40, but as near as can be es-
timated tWo-thirds of this valuation
will go to other counties where the
hers range and are fed.
The total valuation of the county
for all classes OF property will be
fully quarter of a million dollars
above that of 1916.

From 6oise-Payette Lumber Co.

Contractor c. r. Emmett, who has
the contract for the Weaver, AXE
and Brady buildings on Alturas street
has placed AN order with the Boise
Payette Lumber Co. for the lumber
and material to be used. This
order was placed on competitive
bid, the preference being given the
home dealer. This is among the
largest orders ever placed here, and
it was thought that it would go to
an outside firm, in as much as the
contractor is a nonresident, but he
seems to have the right spirit and
buys his material where he does the
building.
