lAXD OF POETICAALI IMX1XE0
Grande Ronde valley has more
poeta to the square Inch than some
countries have orchards. Scarcely a
day rolls by but what some scribe
in rug poetical and effuses lines of
poetry that has more or less common
sense to them. It Is doubtful If any
other section In Oregon runs so much
to poetry as the Grande Ronde valley.
Farmers, merchants, these and more,
frequently contribute selections to the
beerver thru as a rule convey the
ense of the lines more or less clenlv
with more or less observance of poet
ical? mechanical laws. To bo sure,
few know if they are writing In the
iambic feet or whether It Is some
adhere to, and most of them confuse
averse with a stnnza, yet wlthill, they
hare a thought to present and they
do present it, This is a poetical dis
trict. The latest contributor Is a cer
tain mall cnrrlor whq dally wends h In
monotonous way along the lanes and
ri.adB of the Gnmde Honle valley.
On one of these trips tells In a
merry jingle how the rural carrier's
Job appeals , to him. The story wi'.I

The Ogden,, Utah, cbautauqua puts
on a "pioneers' day" program each
year, with, a splendid pageant, con
taining many beautiful tableaus illus
trating tiie history of the state. Their
last tableau represented the coming
of he pioneers. Ox teams and prairie
schooners were used and the "pio
neers'' appropriately garbed descend
ed from the wagons and gave the clos
ing anthem. The effectiveness of this
scene may be Imagined when It U i
known' that the part of the "pioneers"
v, 8b taken by the great (Mormon choir.
It was one of the most Impressive
programs ever given at an assembly
and the day was the greatest finan
cial success In the history of the Og
den chautauqua. . Something of the
sort would certainly be appropriate
and practical in La Grande.

Bcothovan'g Paeiion When Napoleon
i . Became Emperor.
, Even when political capltul was not
to lie made of It., the favor of kings
and courtiers was, prior to the middle
of the nineteenth century, sought by
the artists lu vitrloiiH'tlokls of activity,
who were aono rally dwpendttnt . for
their poHitlnn upon those high In po
litical life, and even the most uncom
promising among them found It expe
dient to piny polite politics In the In
terest of i'i'lf art by dedicating the
choicest of their works to ndble pa
trons. ;(. " .f .-. -..
The most notable example of n mns
(erwnrk with a' political origin Is
Beethoven's "lOrolen" symphouy. Gen
eral tlnrnudottc during bis residence
tu Vienna In 1TUS as umhassndor from
the French nntlou suggested to Ilee
thoven the composition of a symphony
In honor of Napoleon. At Hint time
Napoleon wns looked upon as the
champion of freedom, the savior of
his country, .the embodiment of re
publican Ideals, with which Beethoven
was In, thorough sympathy, and be,
willingly accepted the proposal. Be
fore the symphony was published Na
poleou 'U'cnuiv emperor, and wheu the
news reached Vienna Beethoven was
violently nngered. ' After all, then,
he Is nothing but an ordinary mortal!
lie will trample all the rights of men
under foot to Indulge IiIh nuililtion
and become a greater tyrant than uny
Hip!" -
Willi these words he seized the mu
sic, tore the title page In half ami
throw It on the ground. Ho never
again referred to the connection be
tween his work and Napoleon until
news of the hitter's death reached
him. Then ho snld, "I'have already
composed the proper tyislc for that
CHtnstrophe." meaning, of courso, the
funeral march. But the whole sym
phony, with Its essentially revolution
ary character. Is a musical portrait of
Napoleon as Beethoven Idenlized him,
