Jascha Heifetz at his appearances

audiences as in his sensational con-
certs last year. His playing of
Brahms at a recent recital evoked
columns of comment from the press.

critics agreed that it was a revela
ton of untold beauties and a lyric
charm usually unsupported in this

Cabbage a la Wigg

Some British soldiers stationed in

dcning. They wanted garden, but
didn't know the proper way OF gong
about it. A hardened old sergeant
recalled that somebody had written
a book called MRS. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" To the soldier
farmer this had the sound of an ap-
propriate textbook. So he got it
from the American Library associa-
ton camp library near by. When the
book came it was a disappointment,
but all the men enjoyed reading it.

BY HENRIETTA M. REES.

THE mdsical season will practic-
ally open with the New Year this
year, contrary to other years,
when it is usually more than half
over at this time.
There have been but two or three
concerts of any Importance, and
these were so long ago that it al
most seems as though they we're
from another season. The war did
not play the havoc with musical in
terests which many feared, and as
each year of the war went on, music
found larger and different scope
in which its many delights could be
felt, with but little difference in the
teaching and concert activities. But
the serious epidemic of the past
months has interfered far more than
the war did in all musical activities,
and it has brought home to us in a
stronger degree than ever the social
aspects of this art But with the
new year, and the removal of the
ban against crowds, the coming
week will bring two concerts in as
many nights-one Of them the great
Galli-Curci-and the horizon is
much brighter for the coming
months.

Spring. it is learned that the steamer
 Victoria, Will mako only two trips to Nome during the coming open season if present 'contemplations of the Ala
 ska Steamship company hold good.
 Advices to this effect have been re-
 ceived by Grant Jackson from Joe
 Sheldon, cashier of the Alaska bank, during the past day or two. Reports
 that anywhere from five to twelve thousand persons will flock Nomeward during the coming summer have been circulated during the past week but are hardly worth the attention they ap- pear to be attracting even from peop- le who are otherwise quite sensible in their appraisement of things. It is possible that a good many thousand summer, but that more than an eX- trcmely small percentage will come to Nome is highly unlikely In the op- inion of those who are not inclined to let imagination run away with their good judgement, the volume of the all legedly forthcoming rush to Nome can probably be gauged very closely by summing up the number of persons the
 Victoria and Senator are permitted to carry under normal traffic conditions. As the number is approximately six hundred and ffty.it is probable that the
 grand rush. here will comprise about
 that number of people. About two hundred of these will probably go to St. Michael and the Yukon. Another hundred or so will be scattered among the various district communities out side of Nome leaving Nome's portion about 250.

Recent telegraphic reports from Juneau announcing that the Juneau Daily Dispatch. one of tie oldest and best known newspapers in the Ter ritory, lad retired from the daily field and is continuing as q weekly publication. are somewhat discounted dicates that the Dispatch is still a daily publication, despite the published reports to the contrary. The message plainly refers to the Dispatch as a daily publication. If correct, the reports re- gently sent out by that blatant mouth piece of the Democratic machine, the Juneau Empire. stating that the Dis patch had retired from the daily field, were apparently animated by q desire on the part of the machine gang to dis credit the Dispatch or injure it's pres tigc and influence in the territory. The Dispatch has been a consistent and viz orous opposer of the machine gang and their manipulations and has been veritible thorn in the side of the tin horn politicians who direct the activit- ies of the inquitous machine organiza- tion. hence if the Dispatch is still q daily publication the Empire announ- cement provides another fine example to the public of the :cprehensible practices countenanccd by machine Democracy.
