witness for the state, who was said to

testimony of the complaining witness.

HENRY DOTSETH,
BOY W0LINIST.
GIVEN OVATION
and Charm of Youth
Draws Growing Appreci.
alton From Audience.

Everything that music can hope to
be was expressed in the playing of
Henry Dotseth, boy violinist, who with
a repertoire Of violin classics, showed
genius in concert at the Grand theater,
where he appeared Thursday night, as
sisted by leading Great Falls artists.
From the beginning Of his program,
he was greeted with growing apprecia-
ton and a storm of applause was given
him as an ovation as the curtain fell.
To one who must judge music by the
sense of harmony rather than by the
understanding Of it's technique, this
Young musicians artistry seems of the
highest order. He gives to his inter-
pretations a whole-souled interest that
lifts him to another world and carries
his audience with him..
"Txlgane" C~aptivates
Though brilliantly executed, his two
tation From That's" and Viotti's "Con-
certo 23-First Movement Allegro"
failed to win his hearers as did his
rendition of "Tzigane," by Gabriel
Marie. In this. through the magic of
the bow and the boys facile fingers,
all who listened to his music were
transported to the gypsy campfire.
They felt the lure of shaded wood
paths with sun flecking through the
leaves. They heard the voice Of the
wanderlust calling them on to the end
Of the trail.
In a closing group. including "Traum
der Sennerin." by Labitzky: "Zigeuner-
weisen." by Sarcastic; "Chanson ldoue,'
by Rimsky-Korsakoff and "Hejre
kati,' by Jeno Hubay. the juvenile
%virtuoso reached supreme heights of
artistry. The first two numbers of this
group gave opportunity for the boy to
display finished skill and ease Of tech
nique. Wrist movements. finger move
ments incredibly difficult to the be-
holder. were no task for him.
Given Housing Ovation
In his closing numbers, the simple
and appealing harmony that makes mu-
sic a thing beloved. by layman as well
as artist, was rendered with exquisite
that left no doubt that the
plusician had not only the mechanics
OF his art. but the musicians soul as
we'll.
for this juvenile artist and that he had
the sincere sympathy of his audience
in his ambition TO develop a great tai
ant. was ~exemplified in the reusing eva-
ton that was given him as an encore |
for his closing number.

FOUNDRY
TO MAKE WATER
WHEEL PUMP
Seattle Inventor ArrangeS for
Manufacture in Great
Falls.

Arrangements have been made with
the MacLean Foundry and Machine
company to manufacture in Great Falls
a submersible waterwheel, the invention
of George p. A. Weisenborn, president
of the United Manufacturing and Power
company of Seattle, according to Wal
ter E. Mansfield of Pendroy, Montana
representative of the company.
The rotary pump. attached to the
waterwheel. also will be manufacturer
in Great Falls and it is anticipated
that arrangements will be made soon
to manufacture other mechanical de-
vices here that have been invented by
the Seattle man.
Test Was Successful
The submerged water wheel, built in
the form of a motor. is so constructed
that it will operate in any stream
where there is a perceptible current.
A test Of the submerged motor in con-
Injection with the rotary pump was made
in the Cedar river, neal Renton. Wash.
and the adaptability of the combination
was proved by the force with which
the water was piped up a high bank and
thrown out on the adjoining land. ac-
cording to reports of the test pub
lished in Seattle newspapers.
Mr.. Weisenborn. who spent a few
days in Great Falls recently, says that
the efficiency of the motor is exceed
ing even his anticipation Of its merits.
Speaking of the tests made of the mo-
tor and rotary pump made in the Cedar
river, Mr.. W~eisenborn said:
Same Principle as Windmill
THE motor runs at the rate of about
267 to 300 revolutions a minute. with
a heavy load on. With a medium load.
we can speed it up to $50 to 400 revo-
lutions a minute in q stream running
about 4 to Az miles an hour. It forced
the water 90 feet high in a / inch pipe
with a one-half unit machine, or one
30-inch wheel"
Scientifically the waterwheel is based
on the same principle as the windmill,
Mr.. Mansfield said.
THE windmill. as everyone knows
he said, "is entirely submerged, as it
in the air and the wind or current
of air. pressing upon the blades OF the
set at an angle, causes the wheel
to revolve.
Works Same in Water
'sThe new water wheel is entirely
submerged in a more dense substance, |
but which operates in q manner identi-
cal with that of the air. the current
exerting a force on the angled blades
just as the air presses against the
similarly constructed blades of the
windmill"
Another invention that is being man
ufactured in Great Falls is A bronze
deflector for pillow m~ouldboards. which
holds a composition that prevents any
kind of soil from sticking to the metal
of the mouldboard. This invention has
also proved practical, it has been re-
