Morning Music Club yesterday. The
two groups of her own songs and
her PLAYING of the second piano part
of the Rachmaninoff "C-Minor Con-
certo" we're responsible for a meet
ing far above the average.
The English text of the first song
pro,1p was translation of some old
Chinese tunes by the Englishman,
j Cramer Byng. Mrs. Gable was
fortunate in having as sensitive an
Interpreter as the contralto, Clelia
Fiorayanti, to sing her songs. The
music is not a filling-in or direct
programmatic copy of the words,
hut a welding of the spirit of the
two into a richer whole. In the
current modern trend the piano
PLAYS an important part. Mrs. Gable
handled it with unusual power and
imagination. The group included
"Tears." World Apart" Sadness"
and In Exile" the latter being
tie clubs tavorite.
Minna Niemann gave a satisfying
rendering of the solo piano part of
the concerto" There were mo-
ments of rich beauty, in the second
theme of the Moderate" in the
"Adagio" and the canon-like weav-
ing of the finale, as we'll as moments
when themes seemed, perhaps, con-
fused with stheir padding. Any
piano concerto, however, is an un-
grateful thing without the color of
th.e orchestral background.
The last song. whose words were
bv Mrs. Eugene ByrneS, was sung by
a clear soprano, Mrs. Klingle. Here
again Mrs. Gable showed some real
originality as song composer.

COALITION CABINET
FOR i. S. PROPOSED
Hoarding Proves Nation Is
Not Home of Brave, Engi-
neers' ParIey Is Told.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January 23.-Assert-
ing that "a country whose citizens with
draw 81 900, 100000 from banks to hoard
cannot be called home of the brave, "
Col. Hugh Miller, chairman of the
Waterways Committee of the Schenec-
tady Chamber of Commerce and head
of the department of civil engineering
at Union College, last night proposed a
coalition cabinet" to serve under no
matter what President"
The cabinet proposed would be COM
posed as follows: Secretary OF State,
owen D. Young; Secretary OF the
Treasury, Melvin A, Traylor; Sec
retary of war, Newton D. Baker;
Secretary of the Navy, Smedley
D. Butler: Attorney General, John w.
Davis; Secretary of Commerce, Daniel
Willard; Secretary of the Interior, T.
E. Grunsky; Secretary of Labor, Will
liam Green; Secretary Of Agriculture,
Clifford Pinchot, and Postmaster Gen
eral Silas S. Strawn.
Col Miller attacked the proposed ST.,
Lawrence-Great Lakes Ship Canal, as
serting the present plan meant build
ing canal for Canadians with Amer1-
can money"
president Hoover" Col. Miller said,
has expressed himself as Delng IN
favor of this canal, and yet he has
spoken against any project which is not
economically sound. The ST. Lawrence
Canal is economically unsound, even
from the Canadians point of view"
Col Miller said that what the Middle
West wanted was a Great Lakes-Hud-
son canal across New York State, and
that this project could be made to pay.
He said he felt, however, that tolls
should be imposed so that the railroads
would not have to bear unfair COM
petition.
The st. Lawrence Canal, he con-
cluded, would cost the equivalent Of
100000 loaves of bread a day for SO
years"

ing themes and harmonies tinged
missed, however, the rhythm of some
of Mrs. Howes Spanish pieces for
two pianos. None of last nights
pieces, except the "Fiddler's Reel"
had that piquancy Of which Mrs.
Howe has proven herself such
master.
Some of the songs were most in
teresting in her choice of themes
and deft manipulation of them. The
longer sonata work did net sustain
its development so well. Helen
Howison'S singing of the "Pr1nkln
Leddie" gave it the Scottish charm
it intimately possessed and delighted
the audience. The model fourteenth
century song "My Dear Moder" and
the Splendid Tear" written to a
poem by Tennyson, were outstand-
ing. The final Drink to Me Only
With Thine Eyes" gained musically
by its simple, yet interesting, tram
scription for four voices when each
took up the melody by turns.
The audience called the composer
back repeatedly and was most en-
thusiastic over the entire program.

Merry Christmas, everybody! Let's
have good time during the holidays!
Let's forget the depression and lose
ourselves in a spirit of happiness and
rejoicing!
After all, Christmas doesn't mean
just turkey and presents. There is more
back of it than that-something that
we can all understand and appreciate
regardless of any material benefits we
derive from it. 1t is the spirit we find
expressed in Christmas carols-an in
spring, uplifting feeling that comes
from deep inside each one of us.
Let's try to absorb a little Of the
true meaning of Christmas for, after
all, it is religious celebration, isn't
it? With such a start, we can return
from our vacation rested, with new
ambition, and with more kindness and
tolerance in our hearts.

ORCHARD ACREAGE BEING REDUCED

Any one driving through the fruit districts of
the state cannot help being impressed by the
large number Of orchards that are being pulled up.
This has been going on for four or five years but
up until this season it generally the odd var
ietes that had proved unsatisfactory for one rea-
son or another.
This year, however, the trees being pulled up
include number Of the standard varieties OF both
apples and peaches This is what is giving concern
to those identified in any way with the fruit in
dustry.
The returns received by the growers during the
last three years have left little profit and it
is becoming more and more difficult for the farm
ers to continue their orchard operations.
The pruning, power or water, spraying thin
ming, irrigating, harvesting and packing, together,
make up good sized overhead expense that must
be met each year and unless the returns sllff-
GENTLY large to at least such costs and leave
something to live on, the grower cannot continue
unless he has funds from other source he
can use. Not many growers are that Fortunate
The orchard industry, together with all other
businesses, will doubt recaptlre it's equilibrium
with the passing Of the depression, but unless
that happens i'm the near future and the pulling
up of trees continues the orchard acreage of the
country is going to be materially reduced

THE CASH WILL HELP

The adjustment of the tax suits with the North
ern Pacific railroad should prove satisfactory to
both the railroads and the counties involved. Tt
terminates controversy that has existed for years
and both sides will know where they stand in the
future. And at this time, when tax money is not
flowing very fast into the counties, the cash that
will be handed over by the N. P. will help mater
tally in meeting the stringency existing in nearly
all of the counties.

this project were R. d. Barge, T. M.
Brown, George w. Shaw, r. B. Nc
Murry, G. A. Whitney and Thomas
Williams, and the orchard land now
owned by I. G. Hawley was included
in this tract.
Another gas producing pumping
plant was constructed by the Todd in
terests further up the river to irrigate
lands to the north of White Bluffs, now
watered from the Hanford canal
through what is known as the White
Bluffs pipe line.
The group favoring the location of
the toWnsite at Hanford had acquired
Hanford water rights for their lands
and they, together with the owners of
the lands around White Bluffs, had
commenced the sale of property to new
settlers brought in by steamer from
Kennewick and Pasco. The Hanford
Irrigation and Power Company, having
its irrigation plant under construction,
also commenced the sale of lands, SO
that in the days commencing early in
1907 and until as late as 1909 there
was great activity in the valley, with
new settlers arriving every day by
boat, this being the only means of
transportation in and out of the
country.
