From the above program it is
evident that Eagle River has in
store a rare musical treat. Both
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Jenkins have
chosen music as their favorite avo-
cation. MI. Rogers has a large
pipe organ installed in his beauti-
full home at Wisconsin Rapids,
while Mr.. Jenkins, who also makes
his home in that city, has a pleas
ing tenor voice whose well-known
lyric quality brings frequent de-
mand for his appearance at large
conventions and other gatherings.
These gentlemen are donating
THEN service for the benefit of the
Congregational church Of this viii
lage, and, in order to share with
the people of the community to the
largest extent possible, the church
has placed the admission fee at the
nominal price of fifty cents.
Our readers will be interested in
a brief description Of the organ.
1t has a total of sos pipes, some Of
which are Of wood and some of
metal. The wood pipes produce the
hute-like tones, while the metal
pipes produce the tones like
stringed instruments. The largest
pipes are 8 inches square and s fit.
long, while the smallest are less in
diameter than lead pencil. The
S-foot pipe produces the same tone
as a siXteen-foot pipe would do by
the simple eXpedient OF the use of
a wooden stop. The metal pipes of
large size are made of annealeo
zinc; the smaller pipes of tin and
lead mingled in various proper
ton to secure the desired different
tonal quality. An interesting fea-
ture of this organ is it's patent Es-
tey Labial Oboe, which is SO shaped
and constructed as to produce the
desired oboe note without the help
of a reed.
Indeed, it is one of the excellen-
cies of this instrument that it is
reedless, and hence affected com
paratively little by the wide and
constant variations of temperature
to which this northern region is
accustomed. The organ is tubular
pneumatic in operation, which
avoids the necessity for compli-
Gated levers and kindred devices,
and assures instantaneous opera
tion and repetition. There is cor
respondingly less to get out of or
der, while the action is at once the
simplest and most dependable.
The organ is higher-priced than
most instruments of its size, the
higher price representing better
quality and workmanship. The in
strument has back of it the fam
Gus Estey organization, founded
about 1916, which has been making
pipe organs for some forty years,
and whose Western representatives
are Lyon & Healy. The organ,
gift of Mrs. A. H. STANCE, of Mer-
rill, will prove a great addition to
the worship of the church, and a
notable contribution to the musical
