The First Methodist church was
taxed to it's fullest capacity Monday
evening long before the opening notes
Of Gounod's sublime masterpiece, THE
Redemption" fell on the waiting ears
of the audience that met to hear
It as presented by the Civic Fes-
tival chorus. 1t was worthy
effort, given with splendid must
cal effect, with a fine, quick re-
Spouse to the spirit of the composers
thought, which signified clear under
standing of the theme.
The majestic melody. carried
smoothly by the choruses and the solo
lists equally fine offerings gave pos
tive thrill of admiration to the listen
ers who applauded generously and
often.
HEAR NEW VOICE
There was warm and interesting
surprise for many in the audience
when q voice new 10 them, tenor of
unmistakable dramatic quality, full
and tender with the sorrowful passion
Of the theme, was heard in the narra-
ton. The Rev. j. George Cunningham
was the possessor of the voice, which
combined with a remarkably clear
enunciation, expressed a deep compre-
tension of the sacred words.
Lewis W. Ensign, well-known local
basso, was in his usual good form, his
voice lending the heavy color to the
lighter tones of the other soloists very
acceptably. The sopranos, Mrs. James
L. Wood and Miss Woodruff and Miss
Ruth Greed, the alto singer, were adj
mirable, as were the excellent tenors,
Clarence Biggs and Joseph Marley and
the very fine baritone, C. j. Mckee.
STRONG AND IDENTIFIED
In fact, so good were all these, one
was conscious of a little regret that
the music did not require their voices
oftener. The whole presentation was
characterized by strength and dignity,
and the sincere work of the musicians,
singers and orchestra alike, was plain
~ apparent in the excellence of the re-
suit Albert ]. Tompkins was concert
master and Ethel Moul Elan was the
crganist. Eugene A. Farmer, conduc
tor, was as intense as in former days,
making his baton fairly speak.
INSPIRING SCENE
The view of the chorus, orchestra
and audience from the balcony was an
inspiring scene deeply suggestive OF
musical possibilities for the future.
1t was beautiful thought to present
at this time the master work of the
great French composer as tribute to
the republic of la belle France, and II
was a fine thing to have presented il
SO admirably. The attractive arrange
ment of the stage added to the general
pleasure of the evening. The members

''On the tour OF inspection with the

came down along the government
drainage works from Las Cruces
down the Rio Grande valley. We saw
land that had had a drainage canal
for only about two months, and could
distinguish the beneficial results TO
that particular area that had come
in that short time.
Surprised at Results.
I'VE were surprised at the early
results and very much impressed with
what we saw in the way OF prompt ef-
fects.
sunday morning the party was
shown the lower valley. where the
longer, and the effects we're too ap-
parent to leave any doubt as TO the
results that drainage was effecting
We were struck also with the advisa-
biiity OF consolidating the drainage
system with the irrigation, and we
believe that the irrigation and the
drainage systems should go together,
and that in many places water from
the drainage bitches can be used for
irrigation further down the valley.
Drainage Needed.
We have several tracts Of land
right around Albuquerque that are not
only in immediate need Of drainage,
but II they are not drained at once,

thing except duck ponds The stage
where We are now. is TO educate our

The water held IN the Elephant

the upper valley the water logged
land results from excessive irrigation

way to get the alkau out OF the land
is 10 put water on the top. wash Il

the bottom That Is the only solution
because water standing on the land
brings the alkaH 20 the surface. and
