They -will glavo their first concert In Roue- "burg tonight. Tomorrow night they "will bo In Grants Pass and on Wed nesday they show In Medford. Tho students and faculty of tho uni versity consider that tho organisation Is tho best balanced club that has oyer represented the Institution. This Is greatly duo to the great wealth In Tolcos found In this year's freshman class and the up-to-dato songs, which Professor Glen has selected for them. Tho program promises to furnish enough variation In comical grand opera burlesques to keep tho audi ence In the best of humor throughout, tis well as to giro them a musical treat. For a freshman, Vernon Vawter of Medford takes an Important part In tho evening's entertainment. Ho has a prominent role in two of the main stunts of the evening, besides singing in the scecond bass section. Another year ho will probably bo tho main stuntster If Professor Glen's opinion of bis abilities remains unchanged. Vernon Vawter Is the only southern Oregon boy on tho Glee club. The enly other member that has any right to tho claim of hailing from the south ern part of tho state is. Arthur M. Geary, manager of the club, who was born in Medford and who intends to return to the town as soon as he Is graduated in the coming June. EDEN PRECINCT ITEMS.

Twenty Per Cent Increaso Will Be Asked (orWant Twclvo Months' Plan Adopted. SPOKANE, Wit., Doc. 20. Threo hundred and soventy-flvo teachers In Spokano's grade schools are ready to begin a campaign for 12-months' sal ary instead of 9 months as at pres ont. They will also ask for an In crease of 20 per cent. Tho Spokane Grade Teachers' association has sanc tioned tho movement. Tho highest Balary paid to grado teachers in Spo kane on tho nine-month plan is $900 a year. Although tho teachers be ltovo their causo a Just one, thoy have not threatened to strike. They bopo to win their points on a strictly edu cational campaign. However, tholr forces aro strong and well organized and if their demands are refused they aro In position to. closo every grade school in tho city. Thoy will present their request backed by a petition signed by every mombor of the asso ciation somo time in January, and this will bo supplemented by peti tions from parents of children at tending tho grado schools. Th0 in creased cost of living Is the chief rea son for demanding moro pa. It is given out that tho teachers will not accept a reapportionment of tho pres ent salary schedule. HIGH FINANCE PLAY SOON AT THE MEDFORD Tho HenrieUn, Hronson Howard's famous comedy funded on life and events in tho Wall street stook ox change, which will bo prvsonteil by tho Joseph nnd William W. Jefferson company during tho coming season, can bonRt of several years of tho greatest success nnd yet, regardless of this fact, it is as thoroughly up-to-tho-minuto as if it had been writ ten only recently. At tho time of its original production, it was pro nounc&d ahead of its time nnd tori daring in teliitie but the events of to day demonstrate that tho author knew full well the terrible possibilities of financial manipulation. A Wall street panic is dramatic beyond the imngniuntiou of the majority and it is on this foundation that Mr. How ard has written his play. Every mo ment of tho presentation scintillates with action nnd human emotions .and withal, n glorious comedy environ ment is cleverly interwoven. A com pany of unusual excellence will sup port tho Joffersons in Tho Henrietta and altogether, a performance of great valuo is assured. WITNESSES CROWD IN AT HOLDING OF INQUEST ...

The bell has sounded the knell of kerosene, gasoline lights and other forms of incompetent illumination. Are yoa ready to quit them? Haven't you tolerated them lonir enough? Thero was a time when burning pitch faggots furnished tho only means of artificial illumination folks knew about. And it was considered sufficient. Then came tho tallow dip, and ov erybody discarded his pitch fnggot in disguest Tho tallow candle was next to ex ert its supremacy over tho tallow dip, and folks were glad. The next step of development wns kerosino lamps, and thoy in their turn were welcomed as a pleasing step in tho right direction. Then came tho gasoline lights, which Jacksonville tried and cast into the junk pile several years ago. And now as a logical development of science, wo have tho greatest of all illuminants electricity. Maybo soma day something will replace electricity. But the probability isn't strong enough to justify us in waiting for it. No other form of artificial illnm innnt eqnnls electricity in brilliancy, safety, neatness, hcalthfulness, ccon omy and cheerfulness. Elcftric lighting emits no fumes or oclor-j, nnd is tho roo hygenic light for Hung roomj nnd Led rooms. Tin fact that electric light cor. sumcs no oxygen, like nil open flnmo lights do, proves it to be tho health iest light known. It keeps tho nir ns pure nnd wholo somo as if no light were bunting nt nil. The importance cf this one fenturo is rcndilv apparent when it is known that an open flania lighl burns moro oxygen, from a room, than four per sons would breathe. No matches. No dangerous, dirty matches are needed in tho homo that is electrically lighted. No washing nnd filling of lamps, no danger of explosions; no danger of leaks; no plumber's bills; no flick ering flnme to bo blown out by a sud den gust of wind; no fine si-.udgo of soot ocntinunlly emanating from your light to bo depositee on cur tains, draperies, iiiwl furnishings, when you wnnt to flood your homo with light, simply turn the button. Think hard now don't you wnnt it?
