Cities Should Co-operate in
Emulating Boston, Says
Chicago Critic.

SAN FRANCISCO HAS LEADER
Visitor Sees Future for Western
Musical Organization Formed
and Supported by
United Effort.
"Its symphony orchestra has mads
Chicago a more enjoyable place In
-which to live. People in the Far West
ought to hear more symphony music.
There is room along the Pacific Coast
for one symphony orchestra and only
one. The San Francisco Symphony Or
chestra ought to be for the Pacific
Coast what the Boston Symphony Or
chestra is for the whole of New Eng
land particularly Massachusetts."
The speaker was Charles. French,
president and general manager of the
Musical Leader Publishing Company,
of Chicago, who. with Mrs. French and
Miss French, is the guest of Miss Eml
lie Frances Bauer and her brother,
Cecil H. Bauer, of this city. Mr.
French is an acknowledged musical
authority and he has largely shaped
the present musical history of Chi
cago. Mr. French is Irish, and Mrs.
French English, but they are in per
fect accord, they and their family, in
their sincere Americanism. Mr. French
is also known as the president of the
Irish Fellowship Club, of Chicago, the
club that began the work in this coun
try of "splitting the hyphen" in the
naturalization question and making all
foreign-born citizens plain Americans.
"I believe in the educational and
spiritual influences of first-class sym
phony music," continued Mr. French.
"In the regular music season we have
symphony concerts in Chicago each
week. I have kept note of the sym
phony orchestra question in this city,
and am glad to know that the venture
has been so successful on the basis of
co-operation and all conductors elect
ed by ballot from the membership."
Portland Scheme Interest.
t"I have been especially interested to
hear of the admission, without charge,
of high school children and children
from the higher grades of grammar
schools, to the rehearsals of the Port
land Symphony Orchestra before each
concert," said Mrs. French, who is edi
tor of the Musical Leader. "This is a
new idea for symphony orchestras, one
which I shall bring to the attention of
those interested when we return to the
East."
"What plan would you propose to
popularize the question of symphony
orchestras along the Pacific Coast?"
was asked of Mr. French.
"Well, the San Francisco Symphony
Orchestra has made a very good be
ginning, in engaging as conductor Al
fred Hertz, lately orchestra leader of
the New York Metropolitan Orchestra,
at a salary of $10,000 for one year," re
plied Mr. French. "Now, probably no
other city along the Pacific Coast could
better that position. What would be
the use, then, of trying to duplicate
another expensive symphony orches
tra in this part of the country? Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle should club together on this
symphony question and look upon the
San Francisco symphony as a friend,
rather than as an opponent. The San
Francisco Orchestra might give con
certs In Los Angeles. Portland and Se
attle, along with the symphony or
chestras of these cities one at a time.
Or symphony orchestras from Port
land. Los Angeles and Seattle might
play at intervals in San Francisco,
along with the San Francisco orches
tra. Local Condoctor Needed.
"I Rm glad to see merit recognized
in the present Portland Symphony Or
chestra by electing members to be
conductors," said Mrs. French. "By
that plan one great conductor might
be evolved in Portland, as Frederick
Stock was elevated from his position
as an ordinary member of the Chicago
Theodore Thomas Symphony Orches
tra, to be its conductor. Once this one
big Portland conductor has been de
termined upon, the symphony ques
tion in this city will be clearer."

Injured Athlete Has Damage Case
Settled Out of Court.
Forrest C. Smithson. well-known ath
lete, has dismissed his suit against the
Consolidated Contract Company, in

an auto-truck. The order of dismissal
was signed by Circuit Judge Gatens
yesterday. The suit was settled out of

Smithson was injured June 8 when
he backed his truck under a gravel bin.
The bin was so low, he alleged, that he
had to lie -down to back his machine
under. In driving out his shoulder
struck a beam overhead. The shoulder
was crushed and his right arm badly
lacerated.

"We're sorry now we didn't stop a
shorter time In San Francisco, so that

Mrs. Sheldon, of the Chamber of

at this time of the season are far from
oeing at tnelr best, but was glad that
the visitors liked them.
Not at their best?" they said. "Whv.
your city all through the residence sec

the distribution system of the munici

than at first contemplated, but it was
decided to call for enough so that the
system could be completed, a reservoir
site and reservoir provided for and the
mams extended to Mllwaukle Heights.
A reservoir is necessary at a high
point In Minthorne," said Herman
Leoding, a property owner, "to nro
vide for emergencies and to have water
wnen tnere is a shortage in Portland
The reservoir will be either of concrete
or steel. Two lots will be needed. The
cost has not yet been determined. The
plans or the engineer will give Mil
wauaie as line a water plant as -any
town oi me size in tne state. All the
pipelines in the distribution system are
