new TRIUMPH
FOR ORATOR|O
Society Is Heard at
Church in Last
Judgment"
Nv Z. +. SHORT

Before an audience which filled
the First Congregational church
Tuesday night, the Tacoma Ora
torio society scored a new triumph
in the performance Of The Last
Judgment" one OF the best works
and only oratorio written by Gus
tavc Spohr.
There was no pretense to pro-
fessionalism. The chorus is COM
posed of men and women, repre-
senting both youth and old age,
who sing for the love of singing.
For nearly six months they studied
the Spohr composition seriously.
The result was seen last night as,
under the direction of ]. w. Bixcl,
they gave revcrcnt and intelligent
Interpretation to the beautiful pas
sagcs of the oratorio. What APP
pcaled particularly to the audience
was the remarkably clear enuncia-
ton. The audience knew what the
chorus was singing
The soloists-- Ruth johnson, So
prano; Mrs. w. F. Coors, con-
tralto: Gordon Bjork and Milan
MiclSich, tcnors. and Roger Scud-
der. bass individual hon.
ors. Also far beyond the realm of
mediocre performance was the
work OF the quartet composed Of
Miss johnson. Mrs. Coors, Mr..
Bjork and Mr.. Scuddcr. and the
duet by Miss johnson and Mr..
Bjork.
An important contribution to
the enjoyment of the evening was
the performance of Mrs. Walter
McHancy at the organ. There
have been few occasions when
Tacoma audience heard a more
pleasing organ accompaniment.
Incidentally, Tuesday nights
performance marked the 37th year
of continuance work by the con-
ductor. ]. w. Bixel. In all that
time he has not missed rehearsal
nor failed to be present at n per-
Torrance.

snow for handling with snow
piows, Yellowstone national park

Following the opening of the roads
to the parks main points of interest

able at the general stores at Old Faith
ful and Lake and the gasoline filling

PUBLIC WELFARE BOARD
HAS S616.545 FUND TO USE

The state public welfare department
has an unexpended balance of SIS
545.35, in addition to the 5000 900 in
term appropriation which may be
used for expenditures OF the depart
ment before July l of this year. At
torney General II. j. Freebourn ruled.
The money was received from the
Illinois state relief commission on a
trade agreement made by the Montana
commission through the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corp.
The attorney generals opinion was
written for I. M. Brandjord, admins
traitor of the Montana public welfare
commission, who inquired whether that
sum might be used by the commission
now for regular expenditures.
The question of whether the money
might revert to the states general
fund was considered in the opinion,
but the attorney general held that the
money, in view of a provision in the
legislative act which appropriated
100000 for the period between March
2 and July l. 1889. was available for
use now

Montana cities which will be Wis
tied by Crown Prince Olaf and
Princess Martha of Norway dur
ing the latter days of May and the
first part of June, are making gala
preparations for their reception,
handicapped by the fact that the
visit of the royal pair in every in
stance will be so brief that it will
be impossible to arrange any pro-
longed program for their benefit,
In addition to short stays in both
Yellowstone and Glacier national
parks, they will stop briefly at BILLINGS.
Livingston, Helena and Great Falls
Helena is making elaborate plans for
the entertainment Of the royal visitors
and the annual vigilante day parade
OF the Helena high school will be held
on the day of their visit there, Nav 90
The royal party will be in Helena
from forenoon until evening, Nav 90.
at which time a public affair in honor
OF the group will be held, with Gov
ernor Ayers as host.
Tentative plans for welcoming Prince
OLAF and Princess Martha when they
visit Great Falls on the morning Of
June were outlined at a meeting
held at the home of Senator r. G
Dahl. John Sletten presided as chair
man OF a committee which has been
WORKING on temporary arrangements,
with F. e. Bulen,. president of the
Great Falls Chamber of Commerce,
aiding in the discussion
May Hold Train
1t was decided to make an effort tn
arrange for holding the train on which
the royal party will arrive. from Z to
on the morning of June 3. 1t will be
endeaVored to arrange for a general
sibility that the prince may be in
duced to broadcast briefly from the
Great Falls railway station. 1t is also
planned to hold a community Scandi-
navian breakfast. after the train leaves.
Possibility that the royal party may
be IN Great Falls for an hour on the
morning OF June 3 was expressed in
Norway.
Present plans call for a train trim
from Great Falls to Glacier park but
1t is possible that the royal party NAV
be induced to make the trip by car,
merely permitting longer visit in
Your letter has been transmitted to
the aide of his royal highness," the
minister advised Bulen, "and am
sure that this invitation on behalf of
the people of Great Falls will be sim
cerely appreciated.
Itinerary Decided Upon
I am afraid that owing to the short
ness of time and to the fact that the
itinerary of the royal party has been
definitely decided upon it will not be
possible to make a long stop at Great
Fails. 1t may interest you to know,
however, that some time ago I took
this matter up with the railroad people.
and 1t was agreed that the train would
be held at Great Falls for an addition
al 10 minutes, which means that the
crown prince and crown princess will
be IN your city from to 7:3O a. M,
on the morning of June 8.
This will at least give them an op-
portun1ty, which I know they will
greatly appreciate, to greet the people
OF your city. If it might prove possible
TO prevail upon the railroad people
to extend the stop for another half
hour 1t would give their royal high
nesses SO much longer time in YOUR
city, but do not know whether it will
be possible to arrange this"
