IS STARTED
ON 8 MILE TUNNEL
IN The CASCADES
Famous Scenic Resort Turned
Into "Gang House" for Work
men On Great Northern's
100000 Project.

Scenic, Washington-Scenic Hot.
Springs, famous hotel health resort
In the Cascade Mountains of Wash
lngton has been transformed into O..
camp Tor the army of working men
now engaged in cutting" an Smile
tunnel through the mountains to,
shorten the Great Northern Rail-
ways transcontinental line by IT
miles.
This will be the longest tunnel in,
North America and one of the long
est in the world. It will cost $1,000
600 according to the estimates OF
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern Railway, who is, himself,
construction engineer of national re-
pute. Mr.. Budd says it will be COM
parable to the great Loetschberg
tunnel through the Alps in Overland,
Switzerland, 9H miles long, which
was opened In 1913 and which cost
$4,000, 900.
The tunnel will pierce the Cas-
cades at Berne, in Chelan county, and
extend to near Scenic, in King coun-
ty. 1t will replace the present
stretch of track of II miles, which
includes the roads present Cascade
tunnel rs miles in length. 1t will.
run on straight track with a one
and one-half per cent grade and will
save one hours running time and is
expected to be completed within three
years.
The tunnel-building program Is a
part of the project for developing TO-
600 horsepower through dam to be-
erected at the southern end Of Lake
Chelan. This hydro-electric develop
ment will provide current for opera
ton Of Great Northern trains through
the new tunnel and also will make
possible the irrigation of approx
mately $4,000 acres of land In the
Chelan region.
The project is expected to save the
railroad 100000 year, in compari-
son to the cost Of hauling trains over
the present sleeper grades and main
tanning snow protection.

Gently arrived in Washington from
abroad and was appointed to take the
position of professor of music at Ma
tionaI Park Seminary, filling the va

Thomas S. Lovette, Welsh composer

much of that music to great advan-
taGe in his works, well. Mr.. Smidt-
Gregor is interested in the Indian mu-
sic of America and plans to do con-
siderable study of the various tribal
melodies. He has composed several
works that are used in concert roper

the premiere of "Nerone," the last
composition of Arrigo Boito. 1t was
to be n magnificent spectacle, a. gor-
geous festival of music. Toscanini
Invited Rosa Raisa to sing the So
prano role.
The United States, and Chicago in
particular, have been kind to Raisa.
Here in this country she had at
tanned her greatest success. When
the invitation was cabled to Raisa
tour was impending. She was to be
an important part of it. Had she
made the plea, the Chicago company
would almost certainly have released
her rather than stand in her way.
She said instead:
MY duty lies with Chicago and
the American people,
Toscanini cabled back to her:
Have postponed premiere. Gable
when you will be at liberty"
When "Nerone" was first presented
to the world. months afterward, Rosa
Raisa was the soprano star. She re
ceived fairly regal acclaim from the
Italian people.

Singer of Spirituals

THERE is only one proper way to
sing negro "spirituals"-in the
mood in which they were conceived
and 1t seems scarcely necessary to
point out that no white singer is ever
able to interpret "spirituals'' as they
are interpreted by members of the
colored race. Roland Hayes, remark
able colored tenor, who will sing at
the Washington Auditorium Tuesday
evening, is said to sing the negro
spirituals in a way that shows genius.
He has the soft, mellowed voice of
his race, but in a far finer degree.
He knows these songs Of his own peo-
pie. With his truly remarkable ability
of emotional Interpretation and vivid
Illusion, he actually experiences their
simple and abject religious fervor.
The emotion of the ''spirituals,' how
ever exalted, is vital. stark.
Europe scarcely knew this great
American treasury of folk songs until
Roland Hayes sang them there. When

THE first PUBLIC performance Of
what it is hoped will be a perma-
nent chorus of at least 500 singers
will be given at the Washington
Auditorium on January %. when
seven musical organizations are to
be united in a benefit concert for
Friendship House.
This huge chorus, the largest body
of trained singers ever gathered in
this city, will be composed of the
Washington Choral Society, the
Teachers Chorus. the Repertoire
Class of the Washington College of
Music, the American University
Chorus. the Mount Vernon Place
Methodist Episcopal Church South
Choir, the Vermont Avenue Chris
tian Church Choir and the Emmanuel
Baptist Church Choir. 1t will be
under the direction of DR.. f. n. S.
Barnes, director of music in the
public schools of the District.
The chorus will sing for the first
time Lincoln" a secular cantata
one of a trilogy on the three war
Presidents, Washington, Lincoln and
Wilson, being prepared by DR.. Barnes
and r. Deane Shure, director OF
music Of the Mount Vernon Place
Church and dean of music at Amer
lean University.
The text of the cantata Is by DIR.

usually colorful setting by Mr.. Shure.

Army Band Program.

THURSDAY the United states Army
Band will present it's next Pan
American nights entertainment, from
1880 to 9 pm, Eastern standard ne.
Frank 3. Kellogg. Secretary of state
of the United States, will give Il talk
on THE Growth in Influence and Serv-
ice of the Pan-American Union"
The Army Band will give a concert
of indigenous music representing Is
Of the 81 countries of the Union. This
music is almost wholly in manuscript,
and while much of 1t is difficult, it is
all interesting.
When attempting a program Of the
music of the ancient AZtecs, Mayas,
Incas and Guarani peoples. the first
thing that strikes the careful student
is the use of the Pentatonic, or five
peculiar harmony, gives a sad and
rather plaintive character. The
Yaravi is particularly striking in this
respect.
In the more modern compositions
from our sister republics, the eXtraor
binary rhythms are somewhat trou
bleSome, especially at first read
ing. They are the logical outgrowth
of their Indian forebears, with a very
noticeable f1avoring Of Castilian ma
ture injected at the time of the Span
ish conquest. This makes so unusual
combination that it presents con-
siderable difficulty to correct interpre-
tation by one not familiar with this
type Of music.
This music seems to have a great
attraction to the people of the United
States, as many letters attest its
popularity.
Many of these numbers are specially
arranged for the Army Band by our
staff of arrangers, Master Sergt.
Theodore Bingert having done ex-
ceptional work in this respect. Tech
meal Sergt. John Bauman has done
some creditable solo work on the Xylo-
phone, this instrument being very
popular with radio audiences. He will
give the first presentation of la
Princesita," in the next concert.
