MUSIC DEPARTMENT PREPARES
FORPRETTY OPERETTA

Under the direction of Miss Peterson
musical director in the public schools,
the High School Glee Clubs and Or
chestra are in full swing in the prepar-
alton Of the pretty little opera, "Bulbul''.
The performance will be given at Tur-
ner Hall Thursday evening, December
20.
A brief summary of the argument
of the operetta runs as follows:
Iamit has betrothed his only child,
the Princess Bulbul, to the Prince
Caspian and the prince is on his way
to attend the wedding. The couple
have never met, and the princess vain
ly implores her father not to make
her marry a man she has never seen.
The Prince, on his side, determines
to see his future wife before the be-
trothal ceremony. On reaching the
outskirts of the city, he disguises him
self and his friends as peddlers, and
thus clad they seek the palace. The
prince enters the garden first and
meets the maids of honor. After
much persuasion, he is allowed to seek
the princess, who is roaming discon-
solately Though the woods. The prince
peddler speedily wins Bulbuls affections
and endeavors to persuade her to give
up Prince Caspian and elope with him
instead. This the princess refuses to
do. They agree to meet once more
in the ballroom that evening to say.
goodbye. Unable to part with the
the man she loves, Bulbul hides him
behind curtain, bidding him trust
her. CONSERVATION reigns later when
the king and the court learn that the
prince and the princess are both
missing. All are still more terrified
when Bulbul enters the ballroom, a
long cloak covers her gown, and an
nounces that she will not wed the
prince, but instead the man she loves-a
peddler. Throwing aside the curtain,
behind which the prince is hidden,
she exposes him to the full view of king
and court. Grief is turned to joy.
The king recognizes in the supposed
peddler, the prince, and Bulbul is too
pleased at the outcome to be indignant
at the prank played upon her. In
the meantime, Ida, who has always had
lingering fondness for the king, proposes
to him under promise he made that
afternoon, and he is bound to consent.
Alain and Lila make third happy
couple, and the three weddings are set
for Tuesday at noon.'

&. Walter Gareis was one Of the boys who
was transferred from Camp Dodge to

ing the Review of the trip; Walter says:
Leaving Camp Dodge Nov. 25 and
after q trip Of two days and two nights
we arrived at Camp Pike, Arkansas
going thru Mo-, Ill, Tenn, and Ark.
It was real interesting trip to all the
Iboys.
Camp Pike is to some extent built like
Camp Dodge, being eight miles from
the nearest town, Little Rock.
There is certainly a big difference
in climate between here and Camp
Dodge, for when we left the Camp in
Iowa it was showing and very cold,
while here at Camp Pike it is warm
enough to allow every one to walk
around without a coat Of any kind while
the nights are cool enough to make it
lust comfortable for sleeping
It is rumored here that the CONNER
cial clubs and many church organiza-
tions of Minnesota have put in an order
to the state whichsif approved will grant.
the Minnesota boys furlough long
enough to allow them to visit at home
during Xmas time.
I'VE certainly hope this is true, and
that it will work out according to ex-
pectations.

NO MAHOGANY LOGS
NOW IN THE SLIP

For the first time in many weeks,
the slip between Central and Com
mandancia wharves is free of mahog-
any logs. This condition, it was ex-
planned yesterday, was so unusual
that it causes comment along the
waterfront.
Thousands of logs during the past
few months have been imported
through the port of Pensacola, and
the majority of them have been
dumped into the water and RATED in
the slip between the two docks midi
Gated. Afterward these logs are haul
ed from the slip and loaded on cars
for transportation to their inland des-
tination, which is at Louisville. AS
they are picked up one at the time.
the railroad people take pride in
pointing that, with all this work,
good time was made and hundreds
of cars were dispatched from Pensa-
cola with the imported woods as
loads.

especially in the Middle West
A great many of the land owners
in this part of Baldwin county reside
in the Middle West, though spending
their winters here, and we are urging
them to interest their representatives
in this project.
l am writing this letter to ask that
you advise me of the situation at
this time, the prospect of its approval
by the senate committee, and the like
lihood of its passing as an amend
ment to the present river and harbor
bill. From the papers l have noted
that it was not included in the rivers
and harbors bill as reported by the
house committee.
When will action in the matter like
ly be taken by the senate committee :?
Is the Florida delegation in the house
and senate supporting this waterway,
as whole? Our Congressman Hugh
H. Dent, Jr., has assured me, both in
person and by letter, of his active
support of this canal, and Senator
Bankhead Is also a worker for 1T.
] am writing to our congressman and
senators again asking that they give
this matter active support at this
time, and will try and get all of the
people in this part Of the county to dc
likewise.
Will you kindly send me list OF
the names of the river and harbol
committee of the house and the senate
committee also, in order that letters
may be written them by people from
their various states.
Will the Chamber again send Mr.
Dobson to Washington to work fol
this waterway? Any information tina
you may furnish me in connection
with this work will be appreciated.
