Washington, Jan. 9. A lively war
fare Is now being waged In Washing
ton between the authors and compos
ers of musical productions, on the one
hand, and the manufacturers of
"canned music" on the other. Those
who woo the ruse believe that they
are entitled to a royalty from the
makers of phonograph records and
gramophone discs who use their mus
ical products for mechanical repro
duction. To accomplish the protection
of the bards from the rapacity of the
soul-less corporations, Senator Kitt-
Ulge has introduced a bill allowing
omposers the control of the mechnh
cal rights of the offspring of their
ruins. The bill has met with the
liter opposition of the mechanical
music manufacturers, whn rt,.,.tn
that It will probably result In one
firm "cornering" the "canned music"
market and thus fostering a wicked
FRIEND TO FRIEND.
The personal recommendations of people who

monopoly.
The manufacturers assert that If
they are compelled to pay royalties
to authors and composers, It will cost
the public a million dollars a year
more for Its mechanical music. The
composers reply that the talking ma
chine manufacturers make a profit of
68 2-3 per cent on their products and
that they can well afford to pay the
poor authors a small royalty without
raising the price of records to the
public. The battle is boMng waged
merrily and the unfortunate solons
have been forced to give much earn
est thought to the subject. Present
appearances are that ttie composers
will win out and that the dissemina
tors of mechanical music will have
to say "I?y your leave" to the author
before offering a song or other music
al production to the public.

The Dalles Chronicle Is digging up
some historical data concerning Wasco
county and The Dalles. The follow
ing concerning original Wasco county
Is Interesting:
From o,i data which Is accurate
we find that the county of Wasco was
organised by the territorial legislature
of Oregon, January 11, 1S54. Its
boundaries were: "Commencing at the
Cascades of the Columbia river,
thence running up said river to the
point where the southern shore of
said river Is Intemected by the south
ern boundary of Washington territory
(now state), thence cast along said
boundary to the eastern boundary of
Oregon territory; thence southerly
along the eastern boundary of Oregon
territory to the southern "oundary of
the same; thence to the Cascade
mountains; thence northerly along
said range of mountains to the place
of beginning.
On September 22, 1S62, Haker coun
ty was set apart from Wasco; on Sep
tember 27, same year, that portion
now forming Umatilla. Union county
was set opart In September, 1864, and
Grant county was formed from Was
co on October 24, 1882. Since that
time Wheeler, Gilliam and Sherman
counties have left the mother county.
