HAS AT LEAST EIGHT VOTES Tills la Majority and Knough to Elect, Although Three Ballots . Mar Be Taken Mayor's An nual Message Is Keady. H. A. Heppner, president of H. A. Heppner & Company, Sherlock building, and residing at 370 East Tenth street. North, will probably be elected to suc ceed Dan J. Kellaher as a member of the City Council at the session of that body this morning. W. Y". Masters will be a candidate also, but it Is said that he cannot secure sufficient votes to win the place. There may be one or two others who desire the position, but last night It was given out that Mr. Heppner has at least eight votes, a majority of the Council and sufficient to elect. It seems probable that there wril be two and possibly three ballots. tho third to result In the election of Mr. Heppner. Tne latter has become very popular as the choice of a majority of he members of tho Council within the past 48 hours, and last night It was said he is virtually certain of election. Last week It seemed almost a certainty that ex-Councilman Masters would re ceive the majority of votes, but his chances appear to have been on the wane, and now It seems he has lost all hope of the place. The Council Is scheduled to meet at 9:3i! this morning, and It is probable the election of a successor to Senator Kellaher will be the first thing on tho programme after tho reading of Mayor Lane's annual message and two veto messages. The Mayor's annual mes sage will consume about an hour. It is anticipated. It Is expected to furnish consl.lerable material for future de bates, wrangles and disputes. There are certain to be some recom mendations for municipal Improve ments and declarations as to puulic servlce corporations, and It Is likely the members of the Council will "get .theirs." as usual. The Mayor has been busy composing the message for two weeks. It was not complete last night, but will be finished in time for to day's Council meeting. Miss Goodson and the Symphony Orchestra BY JOSEPH M. Qt'ENTIN. OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS no doubt kept Portland folks shivering last night in the depths of her chilly embrace, but those of us fortunate enough to be In the crowd sitting In the cosy, warm assembly-room, at the Masonic Temple, West Park and Yamhill streets, were under the more welcome, bewitching spell of a real goddess or music. Katharine Goodson, the celebrated Erg lish pianist. And If that wasn't enough, we had the added pleasure of listening to our own Portland Symphony Orcliestn playing for the first time this season under its new conductor, David C. Rose brook. Tho duo formed a musical feast of satisfying proportion. The concert hall of last night Impresses me very favorably, because of Its beau tiful surroundings, excellent accoustic properties, and convenient location easily reached from all portions of the city. But what a pity It is upstairs. The musical programme was high class as the occasion deserved, and like a kalei doscope, reflected different shades of musical worth surely sufticlent to please all. The programme was also skillfully constructed and had an alluring way in passing from one treat to another with ilnts of added Joy to come, it also nau this Interesting feature to otherwise com mend it: a form of notes explaining each orchestral selection so that the. younger musical atudents could all the better un derstand the composer's meaning. Katharine Goodson. She is verily one of the world s great ones. Just ns tho Almighty has given different kinds of genius to other sons and daughters each brilliant in special fields of human en- . .. . I.. 1 h.th r.f tlfo aeavor, BO surely hub ma "tcai.i " . quickening in the soul of tltis young woman pianist taken her into a poetic realm of her own where she la a tone creator, as surely as a painter of pic tures peoples his canvas with creations of his fancy. The names of Paderewskl, Harold Bauer, Sauer and other eminent musicians rise before us. and Miss Good son is in that brilliant company. No visiting pianist has ever won us more In this section of the country, or gained a more cordial welcome because of her distinguished art. A virtuoso of the highest order. Miss Goodson invests her playing with that line sentiment that very few men musicians can reach, and yet her dynamics are amazing for their sustained and thrilling power. Indeed, the wonder of her performance Is the nervous and energetic quality of Its real brilliance. Her tone has a peculiar limpid beauty, a crystalline clarity that must be heard to be thoroughly understood. So cordially was Miss Goodson received that she could have played sev eral encores, but she only gave these two: Schumann's 'i.achtstuck" and Strauss" "Reverie." Well done, the newly-organized Portland Symphony Orchestra, and more power to the good right arm of Its conductor, Mr. Rosebrook. native son of Oregon. This is the first ap pearance here of Mr. Rosebrook as symphony conductor, and it is grati fying to bo able to record that he arose to the occasion. He presided with Just the right amount of dignity without being autocratic and he se verely minded his business when he wielded the baton. He appears to have enforced commendable discipline. and his musicians play wii good ensemble effect The tone was a bit shaky in one or two instances, but this Is not to be wondered at, considering the limited time the men have played together as members of an orchestra. The true "professional" tone Is slowly but surely creeping there, and the or chestra is really a credit to the Pa cific Coast. I look for big things from it yet. The overture to "The Merry Wives." by Otto Nlcolal. was played with the right swing and dash, and made a most excellent opening number. More difficult work came In interpreting Goldinark's "Rural Wed ding" symphony, but the correct, in strumental coloring dominated. Mas senet's gay "Fifth Orchestral Suite" was given as the "benediction," and was played with fine effect and minute attention to musical detail. I also wish to emphasize that the whole play ing of the orchestra was warmly ap plauded and that Mr. Rosebrook waa the reoloient of deserved congratula tions. By the way. the whirlwind finish given to the Massenet "Fifth Orchestral Suite" will long live in our remembrance as a pleasant memory, finely worked up to a passionate olimax.
