A START FOR GERMAN MUSIC
(Literary Digest)

NhllefdIy DlSeSt)
 A German foot is once more thrust inside the partly open door of the Metropolitan opera house, only it wears a home made shoe. ''Parsifal" will return to the repertory next sea- son in an English version made by H. E. Krehbiel. Whether this informa- tion should give us joy or not, even Gatti- -Casazza seemed to doubt, for, as the Brooklyn Eagle points out, he waited until his sailing time to make the announcement.
 That paper finds it inevitable that the Wagner operas, or at. least sone Hof them, should be sung here in Eng fish, and it thinks "Parsifal" an lex cellent selection with which to begin the experiment. though a "Parisfal' done in English by a SavaeS opera company a few years ago failed in New York while it succeeded in Bos- ton. The prestige of the Meropoli- tan added to what claims it can make l for itself will likely save it from q second failure. Tt has none of the | fierce and warlike spirit of he Ring series and none of the Notification nI l Teutonism which would probably kmake the lovely 'Meistersinger' unac- 1 ceptable even in English. In fact, both subject and music have had a wider appeal in this country than in Ger many, outside of Baireuth."
 The main point to be noted, how ever, is the opening wedge. and the Morning Telegraph (New York; fo- | cuses attention upon a discussion of the subject in the National Civic Fed eration Review by ''an American of German birth" The Telegraph ob- serves:
 This interesting, and, perhaps, se

 fly answer the question continually be- ing addressed to this paper as well as
 to the older and more definitely in
 trenched trade journals of music. The point is made that the United States
 can not afford to be even as generous
 in it's tolerance of German music as
 England for the reason that England
 has no such mighty leaven of Teu-
 tonic residents as we5 have in this country.
 There is no doubt of the truth ot the statement that there is now a most marked and persistent. attempt at the revival and reinstaIlation of German composition and German influences il the opera houses and concert. halls ot the United States. Is this the begin hing of another era of German propa ganda? To the minds of many lib. eral minded friends of musical art German music, per SC, is far from o1- .;ectionable, either on account of it' origin or by reason of it's Teutonic ar. srogations. The strongest and mos tenable charge that can be brougn against the promoters and purveyor, of essentially German music in th country is the unfailing arrogance, ,, , evitable pomposity, and irritating in. science which they pontificate abou

RAGING FIRES SWEEP. IDAHO PINE FORESTS; DAMAGE INESTIMABLE
Republican A.. p. Leased wlrel

BOISE. Idaho, July 17.-From Rosie, from Cascade, from Hailey and from salmon City parties of fire fighters were sent out today to help check the wind driven walls of flame which have already destroyed over 50,OOO acres of valuable timber in southern Idaho, and which menace farms, towns, live stock and mining interests.
 Fires are spreading rapidly in four districts. In the north end of the vel low pine district the fire seems to be checked, but the conflagrauoE is spreading rapidly southward over l5- mile front and in places has gained 10 nnles. Other fires are raging on Pistol, Sulphur and Indian creeks and near the settlement of Yellow Jacket another fire has started. The flames have eaten theiy way into the Weiser and Idaho national forests and the Hazard creek fire, which was thought to have been extinguished. has started up again. A serious condition also prevails in Cham berlain basin from which no word has come for 36 hours.
 State and federal authorities and the tirnbe rowners are cooperating. The Idaho Wool Growers association has offered to the fire fighting agencies all of it's sheep camp outfits and supplies which can be spared. No rain has fal- len in southern Idaho for 47 days, and hundreds of square miles of forest are as dry as finder. The general land of flee in Boise has issued an appeal for 100 more men to volunteer for fire fighting at 50 cents on hour, board and Transportation.

 will there be bolshevist move ment in America? Shucks. Of course, | if you want the thrill of fearing so, | you can manage to work it up. But you must be very excitable, and either you must be very young or else you must have confined your reading to the comic supplement and the base ball page. You must be young enough or unread enough, to have forgotten Czolgosz, and Guiteau, Homestead and the Haymarket, the Pittsburg riots and the Molly Maguires.
 If you are of the temperament which in children gets thrills out of ghost stories and graveyards in the dark; if you make your definition Of "bolshevism' generous enough; if everybody who says it's best to let Lenine and TrotZky run their course rather than try to kill them off with an American military expedition is a bolsheviki; if everybody is bolsheviki who doesn't agree with your views about union labor or the inheritance tax, or the Nicene Creed; if you as
 sume that, every workman who is overcome by the lure of spring day and quits his job to go fishing is an agent of organized bolshevism; if you assume that those pale and furtive imitators of Czolgosz who threw an occasional bomb at a mayor or an attorney general are members of an organized and disciplined army re- ceiving orders from Trotzky; if you assume that the labor agitators who now call themselves the I. W. w. are anything more than the Molly Ma guires were in the early seventies, or the Pittsburg rioters in the late sev- enties, or sthe Haymarket anarchists of the eighties, or the Homestead strikers of the nineties-if you assume all that, and if you assume it on a hot day, then you may be able to work

Secretary Lane, a call was sent out to- day for 200 men to fight forest fires in ] the yellow pine district, in central Idaho.
 According to authoritative estimate, ] more than 50, 1000 acres of valuable tim ber lands have been swept by fires con stantly increasing in scope Several new fires were reported today.
 Ranches also were reported burned out at Bronx, north of Sand Point, Ida ho, where a fire covering 1000 acres was being fought by ranchers. On Steamboat creek, northeast Of Carter, Idaho. 400. 900, 900 feet of valuable white pine timber. estimated to be worth Sl,- 100000. was menaced by fire that had burned over 100 acres, and on the north Fork river north of Kellogg, Idaho. a fire was reported running through one of the best stands of white pine timber in this section. On Indian creek on the divide, near Heron, Mon tana, a fire had burned over between 1000 and 5000 acres.
 One of the largest fires in the dis tricts was burning on Pack river near Samuels, Idaho. This blaze. covering approximately 6.4O0 acres, had been burning Tn SlaSnlnSS ana Hau caused little damage, but fear was expressed that the crew of 120 men would not be able to restrain it from damaging much timber nearby.
 Lack of fire fighting apparatus and l fire fighters is hampering federal for 1 est officials and timber protectice as l sociations in their efforts to check the flames.
 More than 1000 men were said to be

Herewith we give map of the
Turkey Foot Reservoir as proposed
as the best possible source of water
supply for the water supply system
OF Wauseon.
Last week the Tribune gave in
general outline the various possible
sources of water supply for 'Wauseon
investigated, surveyed, planned and
estimated by the w. ]. Sherman Ci.
of Toledo, in this outline there was
pointed out the objections, mainly
financially which resulted in the re-
lection by the Water Board of all
but one of the proposed projects and
the recommendation by the Board
to the Council of a system that will
have as its basis the Turkey Foot
Reservoir.
The map herewith will show the
location Of the proposed reservoir
and as well aid in an understand
ing of the proposed system as a
whole.
The boundary line of the property

Unfltered water will be raised
from the reservoir to the settling
tanks from which the water will
flow by gravity into the filter plant
then discharged as filtered water in
to clear water basin from which it
will be forced by high service
pumping station to the top of the
water works stand pipe. The water
will be carried from the plant by 10
inch cast iron pipe south from the
plant until it strikes the highway
which constitutes the eastern exten-
sion of Leggett street then west on
this road until it joins the main line
of the present system on East
Leggett Street.
The estimated present demand for
water in Wauseon is 100000 gal
Ions per month; estimated future
demand is 100000 gallons per
month, the capacity of the proposed
reservoir is 81,725,550 gallons.

the engineers and based on compu-

permanence of the supply.
It is worthy of note that on the
north and east of the reservoir and
within the limits Of the reservoir
property there is space, part of it
wooded, that could later on, very
easily be converted into a park; and
south of the dam there is space
where with comparatively small ex.
pense a sanitary wading, bathing and
swimming pool could be constructed
The plan outlined } herewith has
been chosen after careful study and
investigation as being the safest
surest, best and most economical
and it's construction now depends up
on the carrying of proposition to
issue bonds in the sum Of $4,000 to
cover cost of construction.
This proposition will come before
the people of the village at special
election some time in the near future
There seems to be but one thing to
do and that is to vote for this bond
issue.
