Question Of Ownership.

The Lisbon Board of Trade has re-
quested Attorney General Guy H.
Sturgis to determine the ownership
of small island in the Androscoggin
river. opposite the Maine Central
Railroad station at Lisbon Falls.
When the last dam was built for the
Worumbo Wooden Mills the water in
the river was raised very materially
and made an upheaval Of the land
higher up in the river.
A mass of earth. roots, small trees,
etc. was completely lifted from it's
location and carried down river for
more than a mile, where it lodged.
This was many years ago and the
sediment from the river has gradu-
ally settled around the small island
until now there is an island of fully
an acre in extent with good sized
trees on it.
The question of the ownership of
the island has been in dispute for
several years. as to whether it be-
longs to the Worumbo Manufacturing
Company or the town of Lisbon.
This year the matter has been
brought to head over the question
Of increasing the valuation of the
real estate owned by the company
and the ownership is now to be set
tied

FRIEDA HEMPEL'S
SONG RECITAL IS
WARMLY RECEIVED

A song recital by Frieda Hempel,
the third concert in the Artists
Course" presented by Mrs. Wilson
Greene was given at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon before
a large audience. Miss Hempel gave
a program that not alone displayed
the grace and charm of this gifted
coloratura singer, but she sounded as
well a deeper note in music that
revealed warmth and pathos and
beauty in her middle voice.
The program opened with "The
Star-Spangled Banner" Through the
following aria from Rossinrs "Otello"
Miss Hempel was not at her best.
Not until she sang the Shadow
Dance" from Meyerbeer's "Dinorah"
was the fineness Of her colorstura
disclosed. In this the tones were
flute-like, and her admirable facility
and smoothness were full of grace
and delightful phrasing. But perhaps
her most ingratiatlng number was
the BLUE Danube Waltz" given as
encore. Here one felt the caprice,
the delicate diversity in nuance that
have made Miss Hempel foremost in
the ranks of the grand opera soprano
of lighter vein.
Unlike the average coIoFatura, Miss
Hempel, in q number OF ballads, put
very Individual charm into the tell
ing Of these simple stories that re-
Quire so much art. Two Irish ballads
were very subtly humorous, as was
the "Daddy's Sweetheart" of Liza
Lehman. To these she added 1.-THE
Last Rose OF Summer" which held
rare beauty and a simple pAthos,
while this feeling of tears was very
evident in q lovely Home, Sweet
Home" "Dixle" needs a more native
element to appeal to the Southerners
who abound here, but It was joy
ously received.
OF sheer musical grace and flow.
the Mendelssohn "On the Wings Of
Song" with a rare accompaniment by
Paul Eisler, was foremost Again for |
Tree coloratura art the Bellini "Qui Ia |
Noce" that closed the program was |
the most exquisite.
Mr.. Eisler was a most effective &C |
companist, and he was also heard in |
several solos. J. Mach.
