The basket ball boys went or
a trip to Lewiston and Charleston
last week. They played Charleston
Thursday, where they were de.
feated by score Of % to 12, but

Lewiston the next night, which
they won. The score was 16 to 18.
The boys are going to the tourn-
ament to be held at Lewiston the
5th and 9th of this month. There
is not any team which they are
particularly worried about, so we
have firm hopes that they will
win.
Mr.. Skinner was confined to his
home this week by an attack of
rheumatism, but he expects to be
out again the latter part Of this
week.

Give Recital at Community Church
March IL.

A recital of extraordinary mer-
lit will be given on Friday even
ing, March IL, at the Community
church in this city by Miss Alice
Bolton Fertig, contralto, and Mrs.
Mark Pike, reader and imperson-
ator, and in appreciation of these
artists and the program to be ex-
pected from them the audience
which they entertain here should
and we believe will tax the capa-
city of the house.
| Miss Fertig, the charming and
accomplished daughter Of Rev.
and Mrs. T. H. Fertig, who were
residents in our midst during his
several years successful charge
of the M. E. church here, scarcely
needs an Introduction to our peo-
ple-her own home-folks-who
have not only had the pleasure Of
a personal acquaintance with her,
but have enjoyed her wonderful
ability as a singer. 1t is only
proper to state, however, that
since leaving Nezperce she has
had two years conservatory
training in Chicago and much ex-
perience in concert and instruc-
ton work in that city and in the
west, now making her headquart-
ers in Spokane.
The following two press notices,
taken from long list, give fair
impression of what the public gen.
orally thinks Of Miss Fertig's en-
tertaining ability as singer:
Alice Bolton Fertig, contralto,
chose a program well constructed
in contrast. Her voice is warm
and expressive, and her work is
done with deep sincerity. She
opened the program with two
classics by Bach and Handel, es-
tablishing a confidence that pre-
vailed throughout the recital. A
group of Russian songs, done with
dramatic power, was followed by
a contrasting group Of folk songs
treated with refinement Of inter-
probation and sympathy, which re-
vealed understanding Of folk mus
ic. An all-American group closed
this most satisfying program.
