. Our. boys will face the MeMinnville
five in our own. gymnasium this evening.
This is one of the series of game? of the
Willamette Valley league and bids fair
to be an interesting affair.
A party consisting if A1rp. Campbell,
Miss Irene Campbell,' Miss Noble. Miss
Grear and Miss Faris went to Salem on
Thursday evening to see the celebrated
actor. Max Fiaman, in the production of
"MaryJane'b Pa," '
Mrs. D. F. Driscoll, of Bonanza, Ore
gon, is here in Chemawa visiting Mr. H.
E. Mann, her brother, and his family.
She brought with' her three children,
Agnes, Johanna and Alethea and she
entered them in the Sacred Heart Acad
emy at Salem. '
The clarinet has the richest, sweetest
voice of all the wood wind instruments,
although its sound does not travel quite
so far as that of the oboe. Whenever,
as sometimes happens, there are two melo
dies to be played atx once, the clarinet
takes the lower of the two, while the
violins take the upper and more import
ant one. But in a military band where
there are no strings at all the clarinets
play the chief melody. . .The bass clarinet
is not so smooth or so sweet as the high
er ones. It has a rather choky sound,
though softer than that of the bassoon.
Why do not more of our boys take up this
beautiful instrument? The study of it
will lead to something, worth while if the
requisite-talent is in evidence and is
backed up by systematic practice and
perseverance. Mr. Larsen is in a position
to engage a dozen good clarinet players
almost any time, so boys you had belter
get busy. ' '
ANCIENT INDIAN BREAD OF
MEXICO.
'I he tortilla is the ancient Indian
bread of Mexico. Its only constituent
is Indian corn maize, which the women
soak in lime wa'Vr until the kernels are
at the point of bursting, then wash
thoroughly until it is free from lime,
when they grind it by rubbing it on a
large block of stone, especially cut for
the purpose, with a smaller stone which
they hold in their hands.
The operation looks very much like
rubbing clothes on a washboard, says
the New York Sun, and is a laborious
and tedious one. The lime renders the
, corn dough adhesive, like wheat flour
do'igh, and it is easily! patted between
the hands into cakes th size and shape
..of an ordinary griddlecake and is baked
upon a thin stone griddle. Though no
salt or leaven is added, fresh tortillas
are exceedingly palatable. Ex.
