Wins Fame as Songstress Abroad
Madame Norelli Has Won Ovations in the Great Music Centers of Europe
By Arthur A. Greene. I
MMB. JEXNIE NORELX.I has a most j
fascinating fashion of talking: with
her hands and arms. It Is no won
der, then, that she Is devoted to the
French and Italian school, for, although
born In lymphatic Sweden, away up under
the midnight sun, she is as vivacious as
the Mcdltcrannean. At times, alBO, her
Fronoh accent is pronounced, and It Is
difficult to reconcile these characteristics
with her birth, her American spirit and
her occasional "States" slang, no doubt
picked up while she lived in Portlandfor
tea years.
The ro&damc comes back to this town
nftor an absence of five years, during
which time she has virtually conquered
the world the musical world. In
private life sho is the wife of Dr.
Ernest Barton, of this pity, and
In spite of her wanderings off in the far
countries, whero her brilliant career has
led her. still olaims Portland as her home.
In Dr. Barton's office yesterday after
noon I made the new "Swedish Nighten
gale" with the Latin personality, talk of
her fine achievements since she left here
In 1909. She talks smilingly, and it is
oasy to understand why such a voice,
supported by such a smile, should win tu
multuous plaudits from the most discrim
inating audiences in tho world. In addi
tion, she possesses the grand opera pres
ence, which means an "air," a big. shape
ly, graceful figure, and a comely face.
At the outset of our Interview things
looked a bit dubious, for I've never been
able to determine whether my musical
tastes ai?roved most of the "Valkyrie
Co-" r "Mash" Walker's "Luzon" song.
However, when she told me she doted
on barrel-organs we at once found tho
plane of common ln'torest. After that I
discovered that Madame has a sense of
humor that would have made her a great
comedienne had she not been created one
of the greatest sopranos of the age.
"Yes, I come of a musical family," she
said, and laughed as sho spoke. "My an
cestors were all fiddlers. I can trace a
line of seven generations of village fid
dlers back of me. None of them knew the
dgn language of music but they had in
them a primordial instinct for express
ing themselves through the medium of
harmonious sound.
"My earliest recollections are of a hum
ble little house In the north of Sweden,
In which was a living-room "with a wide
fireplace. Tho "Winters there are long
and for only three months in the yoar
it there sunlight. So It happened that
through many long evenings tho family
gathered about the blazing Are, while my
grandfather played his violin. Before I
could speak plainly, I lay on tho floor at
tho dear old man's feet, drank in the
melody of his violin and sang to its ac
companiment. His was a rare, untutored
genius, and by the hour he would im
provise beautiful things, which would
have made him famous had there boen
any but we poor people of the North to
listen. Ho lived all his life within the
confines of that little village, and never
traveled a day's Journey. If a degree of
success has come to me, I owe more to
hlra than to any other person 1 have
known, for ho taught me to sing.
"When I was 16 I had secured some
education and planned to become a
school teacher. One day a director of
the Royal Conservatory at Stockholm
heard me sing, and became Interested
In my voice. Ho sent for me, and
asked mo what I -was doing. I told
him I was a governess, and expected
to be a teacher always.
" 'No,' ho told me, 'you were not made

to be a school teacher; you were made
to be a great singer.
"Then he explained that a competi
tive test was soon to be made of can
didates for a froe scholarship in the
conservatory, and that I should try for
It, although thore were 300 applicants,
and my chances of winning doubtfuL I
had never had a lesson in music, and
could not conceive of being successful,
but I sang with the 300 others, and, to
my surprise and delight, won. I grad
uated, and shortly afterward came to
America and to Portland, where I was
married.
"Five years ago I went East, and
since then have sung in the Savage
English ' Grand Opera Company, the
Metropolitan Grand Opera, and then in
almost all the musical centers of Eu
rope. "In London I have appoared at Co
vent Garden, Albert Hall and. In fact,
most of the great concert halls. The
most Important work I have ever done
was in the Philharmonic concerts in
London, at which only the greatest
artists appear. The audiences arc said
to be the most critical and exacting in
the world. On the occasion of my first
appearance. I received six encores.
Was not that glory cnoughr
Mine. Norelli will remain in Portland
until the first of December, when she
will leave for England. She will be
principal soloist at the great Manches
ter musical festival, which commences
December 22. From there she goes to
London, and later to Roumania, by spe
clal invitation of Carmen Sylva. the ex
Queen, where she will give a series of
concerts. During the Winter she will
also appear in Austria and Germany,
and 4n the Spring -will sing in Sweden
by invitation of King Oscar.
A year from now she will make
tour through India, China, Japan and
Australia.
Madame Is loyal to Portland and her
adopted country, but admits that best
she likes Continental Europe, where.
as she cxprosscs it, she feels "Jlko a
fish in water." She says we lack mu
slcal atmosphere, and are indifferently
educated musically, in which conclu,-
slon the cantatrice seems to have hit
upon an undeniable truth.

UNRULY "BARKER" IN TOILS
Hotel Runner Arrested for entering
Union Station.
-Policeman Carlson arrested G. Krel-
gcr at the Union Depot yesterday af
ternoon and took h!n to the bastlle,
charged with disturbing' the peace.
Kroiger is a member of the band of
hotel runners who congregate at the
depot on the arrival of each train.
The police stationed there have orders
not to permit any of these men to in
trude within the preclncts-of the depot
proper. This resulted in the arrest of
Krelger. The prisoner endeavored to
force his way past Carlson, and when
the minion of tho law hailed him and
warned him back, he somewhat fore
lbly Informed the patrolman that he
would do as ho pleased, and added that
If Carlson Interfered too much he and
his associates would see to it that he
was removed from that beat.
According to the policemen at the
Union Station, the Eastern contingent
of runners who are in tne city only
during tho rush soason of the Fair
have organized a clique for the purpose
of besting- the efforts of the police to
enforce the rule preventing- them from

very impressive part of the stock
how at the Exposition are the
visitors. Seated in long rows, on
either side of the Judging ring, they
watch tho whole process with unaffect
ed interest. Whon decisions are an
nounced they are universally applaud
ed. Judging from appearanqes very
many of these people are qualified to
have and express opinions of tholr own.
Several of the officials of tho show and
some of the exhibitors thought there
were more people and decidedly great
er interest than at St. Louis. After
spending the day in the showrlng, and
among the cattle, I think I can truth
fully say that the exhibits, as a whole,
are of surpassing excellence.
It Is interesting to watch the pro
gression downward in age, of every
leading breed shown, and to see the
distinguishing points of each make
their appearance in the nursery (where
babies of G months and under are
shown), then in the kindergarten, then
in the primary classes, and so to the
full-grown animals. Noticeably Is this
the case with the shorthorns. The last
class, in the evening, was of babies.
Any one experienced In cattle could
tell, almost at a glance, not only the
breed, but the family to which they be
longed, for theywore miniatures of
their parents. What variations were
visible were for tho better, showing
the success in the breeder's art -In se
lecting parents for his future herd. Of
course the early maturity in every
brood shown was most remarkable.
Though in not every class was it given
to exhibit, as was done In the Holstolns,
a bull under 3 years old weighing over
20d0 pouuda. This was alike notice
able in both sexes heifers of 2 years
are today as large as the 3-year-olds,
even as the 4-year-olds, of 30 years
ago. It is hard to say where most in
terest centered. It was about evon with
the shorthorns and Hcrefords, with
not much to choose between Jerseys
and Holstolns. I ought to have limited
my observation about similar shapes
and points in various ages, to beef cat
tle, that Is to shorthorns, HereforJs,
Polled Angus and Galloways. Of course
In the milking breeds 'tho function of
milking draws the clearest possible
line between the mature and immature
cattle. This must make the judging
of heifers of early age most dlffcult.
For the milk cows the great udder and
the very apparent milk veins, the al
tered shape of the animal, centering
all Interest in the development of the
milking parts, therein are the jobvlous
-points of comparison and difference.
But in the undeveloped heifers both
judges and buyers must base their
opinions on estimate and deduction of
how the dormant qualities will turn out
at maturity. The gentleman who judged
the Holstelns, after his work was done,
and tho cows and heifers duly plac6d
In order, was kind enough to give to
the crowd of interested spectators
short discourse on the reasons for
placing tne animals, which was both
Interesting, useful and much appre
ciated.
Judges Often In Doubt.
The two judges of the shorthorns
wore oftentimes in doubt, for the, gen
eral standard of excellence was so high
Noticeably this ias the case In plac
ing Nos. 1 and 65 in the 2-year-old
heifer class. In tho end Princess Flora
Second, shown by the Tebo Land &
Cattle Company, of Clinton. Mo., had to
give place to C. E. Ladd's Lady
Portland, a roan beauty of the pro
nounced Ladd type. In this class the
first prize winner. Lad's Emma, ex
hibited by I. G. Robblns & Sons, of
Horace. Ind., was undeniably first, and
was. I thought, one of tho most beau
tiful animals on the ground for eym
metry, and evory sign of high blood.
C E. Ladd a turn oame in the
next class, of heifers of 18 or under
24 months. The first place was clearly
his. with Sweet Marie, a lovely red
heifer, with finer points than in sev
eral of the exhibits from the North
Yamhill farm. If one may speak and
live, the splendid roan stock which pre
vails there has a tendency to over-size
and a shade of coarseness, -which only
becomes noticeable when they are
placod alongside of othor strains of
equally high blood. But to give size,
quality and early maturity to Oregon
herds, nothing could be bettor. The
two California herds, of Glide & Son,
of Sacramento, and Rush & Pierce, of
Suisun, wesc also deservedly prominent.
In tho Hereford class Oregon again
came to the front, holdlncr her own
against the Nebraska and Missouri
herdowners, who have been longer in
the business. For range cattle, the
Herefords are more in domand than
ever, and, doubtless, thore will be ready
sale for every animal that comos un
der the hammer whon the exhibition
closes.
The Scotch breeds. Galloways and
Polled Angus, are well represented.
The former breed is specially suited for
the high-priced markets of great cities,
where extra quality makes up for defi
cient quantity. I have never seen a
herd of Galloways in Oregon. Thero
was quite a rage lor the Polled Angus
a few years ago, and more than one
carload was brought into the Valley.
Tho mark of the importation is still
seen in many places, for the bulls
transmit their peculiarities through
many generations. There will be a
chance now to recur to pure-bred stock.
Jerseys Are Beautiful.
Tho Jerseys are a beautiful lot
many of them of very evon quality, so
that the judges' task must be very
hard. The prize cow at St. Louis for
butter product, belonging, to the W. S.
Ladd estate, is here, and draws many
visitors to her stall. The tug-of-war
comes when the herd exhibits. are
shown.
I hardly like to close without direct
ing attention to the Devon cows, the
Ayrshlros, the red polled and the brown
Swiss. I believe that the virtues of
the Devons are not nearly appreciated
in Oregon, and especially in West
ern Oregon, as they should be.
Climate, pasturage, the He of the land,
correspond so nearly with the red
soiled hillsides and rich pastures of
tholr native habitat that if analogy and
reasoning go for anything, they ought
to do hero as woll as in their own
Devon. Excellent milkers, with a heavy
cream yield of rich quality, and with
beef that equals the Galloways in price
in the West End of London, these cat
tle come as near to the general purpose
requirement as any breed I know of.
Thero are several men of Devon who
are citizens of Oregon. Why don't they,
for the credit of old Devon, send for a
carload of the red beauties? But time
and paper give out, though the topics
of the cattle show are only touched.

Judge Webster Discusses Results
Achieved In Unnton Road and
Other County Work.
According to a report filed yesterday
by John Hoffman, road supervisor, the
cost per yard of rock crushed in the
rock-crusher on the St. Helens road,
where county prisoners are used to' Jo
the work, is 42 cents, and crushed rock
has heretofore cost the county not
less than $1 per yard in bunkers. Judge
Webster and County Commissioners
Barnes, and Lightner consider the work
ing of prisoner entirely satisfactory,
and no longer an experiment. "It Is
better than keeping men confined in
Jail," said Judge Webster. "When a
man's sentence has expired he is able
to go to work, because he has been
working- and is in good physical con
dition. "Tho county Is -now out of debt and
we will build new roads. We are now
building the finest piece of road on the
Pacific Coast to Llnnton. It will be
finished to that point jvi thin two weeks.
Some call it the Llnnton road, but the
old namo Is the St. Helens road. We
shall push " it along to the Columbia
County line, a distance of 18 miles.
Many fills have been made and con
crete culverts have been put in where
previously there- were bridges. There
are a great many little gulches run
ning down from the hills, and there
were numerous bridges which were ex
pensive to keep up, which are" being
Jone away witn as much as practicable.
The road is 80 feet in width to Llnnton
and below that point 40 feet. Guards
Johnson, Brlggs and Burke areNln
charge of the prisoners, and have no
trouble with them."
Judge Webster- further eald- the jatf
should be so arranged that each one
of the rockplle gang would have a
separate cell and they ought not to bo
crowded together. The Jail may be Im
proved so as to accomplish this result
before long. The report of Mr. Hoffman,
the road supervisor, shows that the ex
penses for tho month of August
amounted to $305. Tho principal items
were: Salary of guards, 5245: engineer.

PORTLAND. SpL 20. To the Editor.) I
repsMtrullr uk epico In your papr to pass
a. tetr rt roar its on the report la given in The
OregonUn of September 16. regarding tho ac
tion of the .street committee of the City Coun
cil on the Socth Portland street fills.
The Inference from eald report might ha that
the protest from tho property-owners In tho
aaie&ied district was on the ground
of being charged rrlth mora earth than
the fills contained, and that being dis
posed of In the manner referred to. the whole
matter Is s&ttafactorllr settled.
It la questionable, however, whether the pub
lic new has the facts regarding the overcharge
on these fills. It Is a fact that there was
much delay In making this murrey after the
Executive Board had decided, and then It
was given oat that all the work was found
correct except one fill, which exceeded the
proper estimate 2500 yards; now we have It
that they were all more or leas wrong, hut
of little consequence: and the flimsy excuse Is
given that the excess charged on the Front
street fill between Woodr and G rover was due
to calculating the street 64 feet wide Instead
of 60 feet. f lYfcat does thsdedleated plat show
as "to tho. width of the itreetT Again wo ask
why the. measurements, after the fills ihad
settled awar below grade, and had been re
filled at an extra expense to the taxpayer.
ehauUVbe figured as three feet above grade?
This wVfk. should be measured up and paid
for as a permanently settled fill, and not as
a loose, unsettled dump. The Intelligent public
can draw Its .own conclusions.
The writer wishes the public to know that
the matter above referred to was only , an In
cident In this piece of Jugglery. The main
cause of protest was on account of the small
and unjuetly created assessment district and
the total disregard of justice or equity In the
matter.
If" a. district la to be made as allowed by
tho charter, why not make some pretense to
ward fair play and fairness in the matter and
quarter the city; In that way each one would
be fairly treated. But that would never do.
as thereby the desired end would be defeated.
It should be plain to any one who has fol
lowed this matter from the start that the
scheme outlined was to fasten the expease of
this Improvement on to the small property
holder. To start with, the district as created,
with but few exceptions, embraced nothing but
small holders, care being taken to exempt the
large tracts owned by rich and Influential per
sons and corporations'. Then came the matter
of assessment for the first completed fill,
known as the "Hood-street fill." on which, ut
terly Ignoring the express terms of the char
ter, an assessment wao levied on the basis of
area, thereby- endeavoring to placate those In
the north end of the district, where, the prop
erty being Income-bearing and In the immedi
ate vicinity of the Improvement, special bene
fits considered, would be subject to .'cor
respondingly heavy tax, thus shifting the bur
den on to that section of the district south of
Hamilton avenue, which as a whole Is rough,
unimproved property and at best receives but
small benefit from said Improvement: but this
little scheme did not meet with success, as
there happened to bo two parties affected
were In position to use an effective 1club. and
a compromise -was made along the "lines of
subsequent assessments.
This Is one instance where those In position
to wield tho club have been granted conces
sions and the burden shifted on to those lease
able to bear it. The writer can- show prop
erty on one aide, and adjoining cne of those
fills, which ia epclally benefited thereby,
assessed at J4.SO per lot, while two lots on
the other side, not receiving the same amount
of benefit, lo assessed 550. And why'? "Because
one held a club, or "stand In," If you please,
and the other Is a defenseless woman.
Vi'e have the same kind of discrimination on
the East Side of tho river, whero the city
as a whole Is made to share the cost of street
Improvements In the Interests of certain Indi
viduals; but in South Portland, where the
small property-holder Is supposed take his
medicine and "look smiling." a small fraction
of five voting precincts out of the total S3
Is saddled with approximately 370,000 for
those fills.
We submit to all Intelligent and fair-minded
cltlsens If this Is the kind of business ex
pected of public officials. Must the public
pay them fat salaries and then stand guard
with a shotgun to prevent being robbed?
The charter provision for assessment dis
tricts, when left to be administered by the
subservient tools of class interests, la vicious
In the extreme, and the people should de
mand Its repeal or compel Its enforcement with
tome degree of equity.
If the various publio utilities were operated
by the city and for the city, aa they should
be, all such Improvements as that of South
Portland could be cared for from the general
fund. Instead of. as cow, placing the entire
burden on real estate.
Recently The. Oregonian has been sounding a
timely note .along the. line of public utilities,
which should bear fruit. May the good work
go on. D. It. M'LEOD.
