NEGRo FOLK MUSIC.

During the dark DAYS Of slavery, work
on the plantations was often done 70
the accompaniment of songs whose
rhythmic swing acted as an incentive
to steadier and better labor. One
writer tells Of leader in a band Of
slaves who was besought by his com
panions not to sing certain song be
cause il made them work too hard.
This was true not only with the now
ems in the harvest, but also on the river
boats, as well as on the boats plying
between che West Indies and Baltimore
and, the Southern ports.
The songs used by the laborers in the
construction of Notifications and earth
works soon became known as Grail
road Songs" from the fact that tracks
were often laid TO the melody.
In Louisiana, the music of the Negro
took on a special color owing to the
influence of his Creole masters, which
influence is noticeable in the French
patois of his songs and the character
of the music both of his songs and his
dances. The majority of his songs
were almost always accompanied by
dancing, the singer being chosen not so
much for his voice as for his skill at
improvisation, his words taking sug-
gestion from the grace of or pose Of
some danseuse or in praise of some
plantation hero.
The dancers themselves did not sing,
the musical accompaniment consisting
of singing and rude instrumental efforts
furnished by the onloOkers. Aside from
those songs which referred to animal
life, some of which are rather ludierous,
there are those which arc distinctlvely
historical, and which seemed to have
been inspired by some important cpl
sode in the community life. The love
songs Of the Negro Of Louisiana are
more distinctive than are those of the
Negro in general Louis NJ. Gottsehalk,
Of French and English parentage, who
won fame for himself both as a pianist
and composer, made use Of many Creole
Negro melodies in his pianopieees. 1t
was he who made known to the world
the charm Of the Creole airs. When
he appeared in the Paris salons, he at
traeted much interest by his vivid pie
lures Of Creole life as suggested in his
compositions
Since the time Of Gottsehalk, many
composers have made use Of Negro
themes as material in composition,
among whom Anton iDvorak ranks
His "New World" symphony is
founded chiefly on such themes and
shows the possibilities in the use Of
this material
Among the composers who have fol
lowed his example and made success
may DO mentioned g, W. Chadwick,
who made use Of the themes in his sec
Ond symphony; Henry SehOenefeld in
his "Sunny South" Overture, Rural
and sonata for piano and
violin, and E. r. Kroeger in his "Ten
American" sketches. Nor are we to
overlook Samuel Coleridge Taylor who
has evolved many charming compost.
tiOns from the Negro theme.
From the efforts Of these men some
idea can be gained as to the adapt
biIity Of the Negro melodies in musical
composition with artistic results. And
If America is ever to approach any
thing like nationalism in music, it must
be through the use of the melOdic ma
terials originated by this much abused
and despised group known as the
American Negro.

TAKING THE CENSUS |

The first census was the enumera-
tion of the Israelites by Moses,
1890 B. G. ~r
In the United Kingdom the first
complete census was taken in 1901
and since then it has been taken
every tenth year. "a" tPs7H,
The first census of the United
States, in 1890, cost $4,000, and at
that the money ran out and the
names were never printed. ~ -
The first census of the British EN-
pire was taken in 1871, the work
being done in one night. Since then
a similar census has been taken
every ten years. y ISt
The United States census of 1910
was notable in that it was the first
to be taken by the permanent Cen
sus Bureau. which had been estab-
lished in 1902. ~
When the first census was taken
the area of the United States was
25,0800 square miles, or about one
fourth of the present area, with less
than 80 per cent of that populated.
Printed schedules were used in the
taking of the United States census
for the first time in 1880. Previous
ly the enumerators had used such
paper as they happened to possess.
The first federal census showed
New York city to be possessed of a
population of $4,000. The new CEN
sus is expected to show population
of close to 100000 for the metro
polls.
The force of enumerators and
clerks employed to take the present
United States census represents a
larger body than the combined popu-
lation of New York and Boston 13O
years ago, when the first census was
taken.
One of the greatest difficulties en-
in taking the first United
States census was religious super
stition. Many of the preachers were
opposed to the census, be-
cause in Bible times curse fell over
the land when the children of Israel
were numbered.

IRRIGATION MEN.
MEET NEXT WEEK

Arrangements are being made to
secure a representative delegation
from Klamath county to the ninth
annual Oregon Irrigation Congress,
which convenes at Portland, January
s, 8, and 10. r. G. Bradbury has
stated that it is his intention to at
tend Capt. j. w. Siemens was in
receipt of letter today from Jay
H. Upton, president of the irrigation
congress, urging the necessity Of a
large attendance, which says in part:
ION account of your active inter-
est as a developer of klamath
county, I want to ask you to en-
deavor to secure as large an attend
ance from your county as possible in
order that we may have the benefit
of their guidance and experience in
the matter Of attempting to secure
close and better cooperation with
the Reclamation Service and the
Congress of the United States in
matters of irrigation and land de-
velopment.
p During the past few years the
Irrigation Congress has been able to
secure much needed state legislation
beneficial to irrigation districts, but
I believe the time is now ripe to
centralize public sentiment toward
the goal of more federal assistance.
Your community having been a
pathfinder in such matters and still
being greatly, perhaps more so than
any other section. interested in con-
tiruing federal activity in reclama-
tion work in Oregon, the advice and
direction of your delegates at the
congress will be invaluable"

about such things, but this power of
the father may easily be abused. I
know of several cases in which the
father deliberately took a child away
and hid it from it's mother, without
the latter being able to do anything
against this course, as the law was
on the side of the father.
Another thorn in the flesh of the
Dutch woman is that she must
promise obedience to her husband in
the vow of marriage. Now, please
don't think that these women are
averse to rule and order. They only
want to be the equals of their hus-
bands, not their housekeepers.
"As things are now, Dutch wo-
man has to suffer almost anything
from a tyrannical husband, and
nothing short of adultery or bodily
ill-usage can rid her of his depotism.
Zone of the greatest obstacles
these women leaders have to over
come is the conservatism of the old
fashioned women, who, especially in
the rural districts, form a great part
of the population. But the women
who are fighting for the betterment
of their sex hope in the end to sue
coed in conquering this prejudice"

|MARO0NED ON
ISLAND FOR
IS MONTHS

| PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 3.-Two
white men and native, clothed in
rags and suffering from lack of food,
have been rescued from Christmas
Island, after having been cut off
from the outside world for IS
months, according to press advices
to Auckland which were brought
here recently.
The warship New Zealand, which
made the rescue, was taken by the
three castaways for German
cruiser, as they had not heard the
war was ended, and when landing
party, including Admiral Viscount
Jellicoe, went ashore it was held uD
by Mr.. English, leader of the trio,
at the point of a revolver, newspaper
reports said.
The three men had been left on
the island by the lessee, Father
Rougier, who is we'll known in
Tahiti, with scant supply of provi-
sions and promise a relieving ship
would be sent within 40 days, ac-
|cording to the Tanning Island cor
respondent of the Auckland Weekly
News.
"The landing party, which in
cluded Lord Jellicoe," the cores
pondent continued, twas held up by
English, clad only in tattered pair
of short pants patched with rice
bag. Lord Jellicoe was amused at
the comical spectacle presented of
holding up warship with revol-
yer, although he was personally in
terested in the hardships suffered by
the party. He had long talk with
English, and Lady Jellicoe read his
diary.
"The irony of the situation of the
Imarooned men was that they were in
possession of three automobiles
needed for traversing hte long dis
tances between the scattered cocoa
nut groves. The unfortunates had
means of travelling in luxury, yet no
clothes. no food, and no comforts.
"Rats swarmed everywhere and
at first they devoured the pillows
and blankets while the men slept.
English said he would gladly have
exchanged the automobiles for
clean shirt and trousers.
This diary which English kept all
the time he was on the island con-
tains some entries pathetic in their
hopelessness. Day by day he was
longing and praying for ship to re-
lieve the distress of the party. Ill
health from exposure and the
wretchedness of the food nearly
drove the men crazy and they would
have been unable to exist for many
more weeks"
!. It is said that steps are immedi-
ately to be taken to have Father
Rougier's conduct of Christmas Is
land investigated by the British
High Commissioner of the Pacific,
Christmas Island being a British
possession.

HOLLAND HAS
ABANDONED /.
CONSERVATISM

THE HAGUE, Dec. S-(By MaiD
The ideals and ideas of Dutch
women, for centuries confined to
children, kitchen and church, have
undergone change and the daugh-
ers OF the land of windmills and
canals are making a strong fight for
their rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for improvement cf the
of women. With the re-
vision of the Dutch constitution last
year, women obtained full suffrage
and the result is that now there are
women in nearly every town council.
Realizing, however, that the pos
session of the vote alone does not
decide the lot of women the pro-
moters of the movement are now
seeking to bring about changes in
the laws and regulations which dis
criminate against the sex economi-
cally and socially.
According to the Dutch law,
said Mrs. Wijnandts Francken, one
of the leaders of the women's move
ment, "the father has practically all
the say about the education of the
children. He decides as to their fu-
ture, consents to their marriage and
may send them wherever he likes.
OF course, this is of no importance
whatever in good marriage, where
father and mother together debate

FLUX MINING co.

According to statements of the man.
agement of the Flux Mining company,
near Patagonia. now has about 1O0,-
600 tons of silver-lead ore blocked
out in it's workings which have been
thoroughly explored to the depth of
approximately 130- feet. Of the to-
tai blocked out, about $4,000 tons is
carbonate ore and the remainder sui
phides. The company intends soon
to start an active campaign of dev-
elopment which will require about six
months to complete. When it has
been finished it is the intention to
build a 100-ton smelter. All of the
necessary fluxing material is to be
found on the property, including man.
ganese, iron, lime and silica. In all
about 5000 feet of work has been
, done on the Flux mine up to date.
The most interesting part of the prop
erty is the Glory Hole, starting at
the surface and extending to tie 10
| foot level. 1t is about 100 feet square
and is one of the largest ever found
in the southwest, being larger than
the opper Queen glory hole at Bisbee.
On the 10O-foot level the ore body
shows 400 by $50 feet of solid car
Donate ore. The change from car
Donate to sulphides occurs about the
13O foot level. A winze on the 130-
foot level has been sunk another 130
feet in solid sulphides running to
1 ounces in silver and II to 18 per
cent lead. A 100-ton water gravity
and flotation process mill is on the
property.
