The daily morning oasis., 1918-01-16

for service in the show present
ed yesterday afternoon. And
all who heard it were charmed
and delighted.
And then the instrument is
manipulated by Mr.. Frank
Frazier, a musical artist of rare
merit, who has arrived from Los
Angeles to- conduct the music
for the performances at the No
gales. He is known as the Cow
boy Musician, and has given
the service of his art in many of
the movie theatres throughout
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast region. With regard to
MI. Frazier's performance 'The
Oasis" takes pleasure in repro
ducing the following from the
Caspar (Wyoming)i Press:
2 The patrons of the Hub
theatre are receiving a surprise
in the nature of some real music,
by a real artist, this week. The
canned" music, is to be dis
pensed with, for a time, in favor
of real Handmade" music.
The pictures will take on new
meaning the scenes can be more
readily and thoroughly enjoyed
when the music follows the
thread of action closely. Mar
tial music for military scenes,
soft strains accompanying touch
ing partings sprightly tunes for
the "funnies" how much this
adds to the pictures, everyone
who attends the Hub attractions
this week, will be able to testify.
The artist, who is respon-
sible for this treat, is the Cow
boy Musician, Frank Frazier.
He is equally capable of the best
classical, or the latest rag, and
displays the best possible taste
in selecting numbers for &C.
companying the photo plays. Too
much praise cannot be given,
where praise is due, and the
Cowboy Musician is deserving of
all that can be given.--Caspar
Press.

ELECTRIC PIPE
ORGAN
A New and Remarkable Musical
Adjunct at the N0gales
Theatre

Incidentally yesterday morn
ing "The Oasis" made mention
of the new pipe organ installed
at the Nogales Theatre. which
was done perfunctorily from a
few words of mention given
to a representative of the news
paper. Yesterday afternoon
"The Oasis" man dropped into
the theatre and heard the per-
formance of the new instrument,
to meet a real surprise in the
wonderful variety and range
presented. 1t combines forty
three different instruments, and
is of wonderful value in adding
to the realism of the pictures
as shown.
Beside a real pipe organ,
which can produce the swelling
diapason of some cathedral in
strument, it has an orchestral
attachment, and even has fire
bells, an auto klaxon, telephone
bell, steamboat whistles. drums.
a military band, and last but
not least, a piano attachment,
between the last two named a
bewildering array of musical
sounds and notes, all of which
come into use in various scenes
in the movies. There is not d
picture that cannot be made
more realistic by introduction
of some one OF more of the at
tachments mentioned.
This marvellous instrument
was installed by Mr.. E. A.

parts in their respective places

Master Spy 60Qt in tn6 A0t Of Burning Government PrOp6t
htH% Hurricane Destroys Life and Damages Property Shipping Lost the Lawrence
Swatting Range

Phoenix, January 49,. AT a
late meeting of the State Coun-
ell of Defense executive COM
mittee, M. E. Musgrave of the
Biological Survey of the Ag1.i-
cultural Department, brought
out some figures concerning the
serious drain ION national re-
-'ources made by predatory
animals and rodent pests.
Prairie dogs have been allowed
to colonize by the million where
they have eaten grass needed
for cattle and sheep. They
have been killed by the hundred
thousand by systematic work
on the part of government ex-
perts, but much more remains to
be done and the work must be
kept up if there is to be future
safety. Gophers have become
far more than a nuisance III the
agricultural valleys, especially in
the irrigated sections. Noun
tain lions, wolves, coyotes, bob
cats and wild cats all are
notorious destroyers of food in
Arizona and must be extel1mi-
mated. 1t was declared that the
wild animals specified cause a
yearly loss in Arizona of horses
and cattle, rather of colts and
and of sheep and hogs to
the amount of $2,000,000.
Coyotes and wild cats even in
wade the thickly settled valleys,
such as that of the Salt River,
and destroy turkeys and chick
ems of large gross value.
So the State Council has
memorialized Secretary D. T.
Houston of the Department OF
Agriculture, asking immediate
appropriation of $4,000 ad-
ditional funds, to extend and
continue the work of the
Biological Survey in this State
against rodent pests and preda-
tory animals.
