GADSKI WINS
AUDIENCE AT
CONCERT HERE
Receives One of Most Cordial
OyatiOns Ever Given an
Artist in City.

Continued applause from an audi
ence that would not leave their seats
in the Palace theater Monday night
| after the last regular number on the
nrogram of Nine. Johanna Gadski had
been sung. brought the famous Wag-
merriam operate star back to the foot
lights several times for her farewell
bows. and when she sang "Ho, 20 to,
no" from "Walkure' as extra measure
! for her admirers. she was given one
of the most cordial ovations ever ac-
Fcorded an artist by a Great Falls au-
| dience. Nine. Gadski opened the Great
| Falls Musical Arts association $
| course.
1t was a real triumph of art, prov
ing that the appreciation of Nine.
Gadski's voice cannot be confined to
| one race or nationality, but is a treas
ured talent for the whole world to en-
JOY. Though she has been in retire
ment for five years, her voice seems
| to have taken on a new grandeur, tran
| guilty and beauty. None of those who
| had heard her when she was a prima
| donna with the Metropolitan Opera
| company were disappointed with her
| recital here. She rose to fame as a
great Wagnerian operate singer and
sue was SeueIOuS " ACi 'iCuI Ale
| admirers Monday night with excerpts
| from those operas. She convinced the
most skeptical that what she had done
once, she can do ~again-that she can
come back" without %resorting to the
program of a beginner.
Her songs were divided into four
| groups-the first, third and fourth be-
ing excerpts from her operate roper
toire, in which she was at all times
expressive, exercising absolute control
| over her range from her soft and low
tones to her yirile, triumphant upper
register. All excepting her Il group
| of English songs were in German and
principally from Wagner and Schu-
| bert. She was ably accompanied by
Miss Mango Hughes.
Nine. Gadski carried her auditors
grandly to the climax-Isolde's Nara
tive from the first act of Wagners
Christian und Isolde" Even those who
had never seer her in the character Of
| Isolde could feel the sincerity Of her
| Interpretation of the princess who
loved a young hero who would not re
| turn her love.
The famous prima donna was goWsed
in silver over old rose, which was re-
| peated in the %panniers. - .
The boxes of the theater We're filled
| with many of societys leaders, giving

Several residences costing more
than $4,000 were built during the
past year. Included among these
is the beautiful home erected along
original lines by Lester Byron at 5l9
Coronado road and a striking exam
pie of modern homes is that built by
Herbert Stevenson at 72S East NC
Dowell road.
New Business Structures
Constantly increasing business in
Phoenix caused the erection or sew
eral new structures to care Tor II
during the past year Among those
started and some of them completed
are the State Highway building,
erected at cost of $4,000, on jack
son street between Seventeenth ave-
nue. and Eighteenth avenues; the
Grand Central market building at the
corner of First avenue and Adams
street, costing more than $4,000, the
addition to the Telephone building
for which a 100000 permit was is
sued, but will ultimately cost $780,
600; the Phoenix Tent and Awning
company building on West Adams
street; the Constable Ice and Fuel
company building adjoining their
present location on West jackson
street: and the Valdrini hotel, now
nearing completion at the corner OF

Two schools were started and COM
pleted within. the city limits last
year. The Jackson school at Jack
son street and Twenty first avenue,
was built at cost Of about $4,000,
and the Homewood school at Home

about the same. The two new build
ings of the high school group were
completed this year. but permits for
them were issued in 1920.
$500,0O0 EIks' Building
Perhaps the most important con-
struction work started during the
year was that of preparing the foun-
dation for the new Elks' building at
the corner Of Adams street and Sec
ond avenue. A permit for $4,000 was
issued for this preliminary work.
When completed the building is esti-
mated to cost 100000. 1t will be
five stories high. Exterior construc-
ton will be of terra Gotta or tufa.
The first floor will be occupied by a
large and modern dining room and
several stores. The main office and
lobby of the lodge will be located on
the second floor. The entire third
floor will be devoted to card and bill
lard rooms. A roof garden and DOR
nitories will be on the fourth floor,
and the fifth will be given over en-
tirely to dormitories for members.
The new Central Methodist Episco-
nal church NAV be considered the
most important structure started and
completed in the year 1921. 1t was
built at a cost of $4,000, and is now
about ready for occupancy. This
church is at the corner of Central
avenue and Pierce street. It follows
the Roman type OF architecture and

various institutions, such as the city
Jail. etc.
The reference department is one
of the most complete in the South
west among Libraries of the size OF
the Phoenix institution, and contains
the best encyclopedias, atlas and an
thologies that can be bought. There
are about 1000 books of this kind
here.
For the last four years the local
library has been designated a depos-
itory for government documents and
possesses more than $4,000 govern
ment publications. mostly Of the ge-
illogical and typographical survey
and the department of agriculture.
There are also large collections OF
maps in this department.
10000 Card Holders
There are 10000 persons holding
membership cards in the library and
this number is being increased by
$50 every month. An average OF $50
books are Withdrawn from the IL
brary every day. Books are circulate
ed from the local institution to points
in all parts of the state. Patrons not
being property holders in Phoenix
and living outside the city, pay a
membership fee Of 81 a year for
the privilege of taking out the books.
Approximately 100 new books are
purchased by the library every week,
in addition to many donations by
private individuals. One-fourth OF
the new books OF fiction are placed
in the rent book class until they have
earned enough TO pay for their cost.

erably to its collection.

Considering the basic conditions
underlying business conditions. Phoe-
nix made a wonderful showing with
its building operations during 1921.
The total valuation Of buildings tor
which permits were issued last year
was slightly more than $1,82O,000.
This means that about $4,000 day
was devoted to building enterprises
here in 1921.
During the past year approximately
500 permits were issued the greater
number being for residential build
ings. Although complete statistics for
the entire year are not available az
this time, residential permits issued
at a late date in December totaled
325, with a total valuation of $685.
S15.
Had permits been obtained for two
business buildings for which com
plete plans were made in 1921, the
valuation total for the year would
have passed beyond the high mark
set in 1919. when conditions were
considered at their best. For one or
these structures an addition to the
Telephone building O. permit for pre-
paratory construction at valuation
of $4,000 was issued. but according
to II. d. Mcvay, local manager, the
building when completed will cost
5000 900. The other building Tor
which all preparations and plans
were made this year but for when
no permit has yet been issued, y
the office building which DR.. w. G.
Ellis will erect at the corner OF First
avenue and Monroe streets.
Even without these important
structures the valuation for business
buildings started, and several of them
were completed during 1921, runs
well over the million dollar mark.
Valuations by Months
Valuation totals for each month OF
the past year follow:
January, $17s,S73.50; February,
s110,747; March, 1857, ,8S9; April, $l7o,-
$3.50; May, s196,755; June, $l52, $50;
July. S110,354; August, $5S,S44: Sep
tember, $216,S61; october, $T5,sl4;
November, $S6,90S; and for less than
three weeks in December, $64, ,O55.
In point of numbers residential
buildings maintained a decided lead
throughout the year. Many very fine
homes were added to the city DUR
ing 1921. In some sections the Dulld-
ing of homes was so rapid as TO cre-
ate entire new residential communi-
ties.
Some Fine Residences
Prominent among the notable resi-
Dental additions of the year is the
new John L. McIvor home at Cen
trail avenue and Monte Vista road.
This was built at an estimated cost
Of s50,000. It's design is a blending
of the Old Spanish and Italian arch
itecture to meet the climatic condi-
tions here. The dwelling is distinr
guished by a walled in garden and
swimming pool.
A residence approximating the $40,-
900 mark was built by M. B. Lufty at

In reviewing building conditions at
present and forecasting future ac-
tivity, City Building Inspector 9. y.
Martin said:
"In 1918 and 1920 we were afloat
on an artificial sea of prosperity.
There was constant play for higher
and higher wages in the building
trades which were not strong enough
in numbers to fill the jobs and con-
seoue.ntly the condition was one Of
bidding for power which constantly
diminished its productive efficiency.
At the very time the prosperity was
at its height there was universal
warning Of its artificial and insecure
basis. So we must consider that the
permits during these two unusual
years was on the inflated basis OF
the times. A dollar in November, 1919,
did not go far.

The Ca rnegie public library Of
Phoenix will celebrate its fourteenth
anniversary on Feb. IA of this year
and will be able to call attention TO
the fact that it is now the largest
public library in the state or Arlzo-
ma. Patrons Of the library will have
further cause for celebration because
that institution is expected soon 10
be enlarged considerably when FUNDS
which have been asked from the Car
negie corporation are received. This
matter is now under consideration py
the Carnegie corporation. favorable
word from which is expected at any
time.
In order to properly handle all de-
partments of the library, which have
grown out of their present housing
facilities, it is imperative that the
present library building be enlarged.
In a petition to the Carnegie corpo-
ration signed by $500 patrons OF the
Phoenix library, enough funds were
asked to pay for the construction
of two new wings and an open air
auditorium. To support the petition
more than 100 photographs of Phoe-
nix and the Salt River valley We're
sent to show how this section has
grown since the library was lnstltut-
ed in 1908.
Staff of Ten
The library contains now approx
imately $4,000 volumes, in addition
to thousands of unbound documents
pamphlets and magazines. Under the
librarian, Mrs. Maude l.. Hiatt Clau-
sen there now are nine assistants en-
ployed.
In the adult department of the IL
brary are $1,000 non-fiction and u
600 fiction volumes. The juvenile de-
partment has about 5000 books, one
third of which are non-fiction. About
dozen Of the best Juvenile maga-
zines and periodicals are subscribed
| to.
The reading room, which is visited
by about 5000 patrons every month
contains about 200 magazines includ-
| ing most of the principal ones pub
/ lished, and so newspapers from al
parts of Arizona and the chief cities
Of the country. Twice yearly the mos
