MOiseiUitch Sets
London Astir by Feat
Of Musical Memory

The famous historical recitals of piano
music given in London by Anton Rubin
stein are recalled by unique Chopin
programme played recently in London
by Mr.. Moseivitch. He played without
notes the B fiat minor sonata. the B
minor sonata, the twenty-five preludes
and the four ballades, gigantic feat
in memory and physical endurance
which held an audience for two and a
half hours. Josef Hofmann has played
the Chopin Preludes as part of pro-
gramme, and many years ago Nine.
Essipoff achieved the herculean task of
playing at a single recital the entire
sets of Chopin etudes. Mr. Moise,-
witch now adds his unique accomplish
ment to the list of extraordinary piano
programmes. In commenting on this
recital "The London Times" says:
GAS feat of memory it is the equiv
alent, perhaps, of reciting the first two
books of Paradise Lot; as feat of
endurance it is like swimming the
Channel"
There is in Mr.. Moiseivitch's play
ing that dreamy, poetical touch
that lifts a simple passage into real
greatness; the breadth and sweep of
mind that gets and keeps details in
their proper place, and the articulation
in both hands, that never allows US tc
miss one of them; the refusal to in
dulge in cheap contrasts or to abuse
the limits Of piano tone. He makes ii
easy to listen, and we seem to get from
him bird's-eye view of the whole with
the least possible strain on the atten.

NauaI War PAINTINGS

The magnificent record made by the
navy during the war has thrilled others
than the men who by 1t were enabled
to get to France and take an active
part in the fighting.
With the end of hostilities, the navy
again set the enthusiasm of this coun-
try as we'll as others astir through its
preparation for and accomplishment
Of an overseas air fight. The feat was
marked by many dramatic experiences,
colorful and picturesque.
The Navy Department neglected
nothing in its preparation for the
great task set for the NC boats. From
the designing of the huge flying craft
down to the smallest detail it was en-
tirely navy. One of the most interest
ing phases Of the plans was the de-
failing of an official painter CT the
fight. This is the first time that the
Navy Department has ever done this.
and we now have a permanent record
in full color of one of the most notable
achievements in the history of the
world
Lieutenant C. E. Ruttan, himself an
old navy flier, was sent abroad in
April, 1918, and since that time has
travelled over 1900 miles by automo-
bile in England, France, Belgium, AL
saceLoraine and the occupied parts Of
Germany, recording all the navy's par
ticipation in the world war. He was
finally sent to Ponta Delgada to paint
pictures Of the Meas 'cross-Atlantic
flight, and was temporarily assigned to
the United States steamship Melville,
which acted as a supply and repair
ship for the seaplanes at Ponta Del
gada, Azores.

When the sun shines anc the streets become dusty, you wish it would rain; wher it rains and the streets be- come muddy, you wish the sun would shine. After you are married you wish you were single, and if you get a new dress you wish yoU had a new hat to match it: if it is a boy you wish it was a girl-was human nature ever satisfied? Guess not, and glad of it, for then there would be nothing to ''kick' about.

Gov. Campbell Remarks
 On Arizona Strip

Arizona should at once take steps to bring to the atten- tion of the residents of this commonwealth the possibili- ties of the strip of territory located north of the Grand Canyon--land which the state of Utah recently made a futile effort to have added to her own boundaries, says the Arizona Gazette Mar. 8. Gov. Thomas E. Campbell this morning addressed a brief message to the mem bers of the legislature, in which he placed his seal of approval on the proposal re- gently made by State Land Commissioner w, A. Mouer that a commission be named to make an exploration trip into the territory in question and make a report as to the future of the agricultural and cattle business therein.
 The message of Gov. Campbell to the legislature is as follows:
 Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 3, 1919.
 To the Members of the Arizona State Legislature, State House.
 Phoenix, Arizona,
 Gentlemen: The desire of the state of Utah to annex certain territory belonging to this state, known as "The Arizona Strip" has brought to the attention of the peo- pie of this state the fact that we are the owners of an un- developed domain of great potential value. Several years ago a reconnaissance trip was made into this prac- tically hitherto unexplored territory and sufficient data gathered to demonstrate that further investigation would prove the wisdom of an exhaustive survey to the end that this area be made part of our producing lands and thus add to the wealth of our state.
 1 am in receipt of a letter from Hon. WilliamA. Moeur, state l a n d commissioner, which is attached hereto, and made a part of this message, in which he lays stress upon the importance of a complete report upon the Arizona Strip" and re- comments and appropriation therefor. To his recommen- dations I subscribe, believingI that money thus directed would be an investment from which the state would event ually reap large returns. ReSpecCIully yours,
 THOMAS B. CAMPBELL,
 Governor.
 The letter from Moeur to Gov. Campbell referred to in the above message is as fol lows:
 My Dear Governor: I have long realized the importance of a complete report on the Grand Canyon, within the state of Arizona. Especially have 1 thought such report would be of great benefit to the state since the committee appointed by the governor of Utah visited Phoenix a short time ago.
 In submitting my budget % the legislature for the fis- al years of 1919 and 1920 I
The Holbrook news., 1919-03-07

is less than it has been in previous years and I would suggest, if you favor this effort to get a report on this district, that you address a special message to the legis- lature, asking for an appro- priation of possibly as much as $10, for that specific purpose, to be expended through the state land de- partment.
 My plan would be to send by automobile, as soon as weather conditions would permit, a party composed of possibly four men; one of whom would be a competent civil and mining engineer; one who would be authority on agricultural and stock raising conditions and the other two to be general utili- ty men, as l did not consider it safe to send a party of two men to do this work. Upon arriving near the Utah line, these parties could se- cure the services of a guide, who is familiar with the country, and other necessary equipment.
 1 would s. have the report show the possibility of agri- culture, grazing, mineral, timber or any other thing of value might be found.
 l also believe it advisable to undertake to locate one or two bridge sites on the north side of the canyon that would conform to sites which might be located on the south side of the canyon, with the idea of submitting the possibility of a bridge over the Colorado river for some future legislature.
 1 would rather have this in a special appropriation than included in the general appropriation for my depart ment, because we will be sure to get the work done.
 Hoping that this will meet with your favorable consid- eration, I am, very truly yours, WILLIAM A. MoEUR,
 State Land Commissioner.

he went over the top was at St.
Meihle. He was on the fighting line
all the time until Oct 81, when he
was wounded in the Argonne Woods
near Verdun. George was loading
for the gunner when a bullet hit his
French canteen, cutting lit in two
and blowing off the thumb on his
left hand, the bullet going through
the hand. He then ran for a shell
hole on the side and German shot
him through the back of the neck.
Ne had one foot in the shell hole at
the time and the shot knocked him
into the hole and that saved his life.
The wound was severe one, and
left big horseshoe shaped scar on
the back of his neck A soldier in
the shell hole bandaged him up and
be later got out of the hole and ran
down the hill to first aid station.
George arrived in the United
States from France Dec. 20, and was
sent to Camp Dodge where he win be
mustered out later. He is home on, a
five day furlough. -.
In speaking about the Red, ,Cfoss
George tells us that it was the great
est factor for good that he ever met
up With and he owes his life to the
Red Cross, and it will not behooye
any one any good to speak i'll of the
Red Gross in his presence, as he is
strong for it, first, last and always.
George is feeling in fine spirits, and
glad that he went through the awful
carnage, and was able to get out
alive. h..

Great promises were made to them.
They are now coming home, practi-
cally empty-handed, to take up the
work Of peace, to earn their living by
the work or occupation such as they
held before they were taken to the
army. g
1t is necessary for many. of the
boys to get work and ne earning
something at once. And rna o. S,
Employment Bureau is trying to get
