T"ABLO CASALS, the Spanish 'cello
X virtuoso of International celebrity
appeared in the second of two recitals
by playing a finely rendered programme
Saturday night in the Masonic temple
auditorium.
Last Wednesday night he made his
premiere appearance in the Hcilig the
ater and then was so much of a sue
cess that appeals were made to the
Ellison-White musical bureau that he
should be accorded the honor of -a sec
ond recital. Saturday night, instead
of the expected crowd the attendance
was smaller than anticipated. The hull
was about half filled with an interested
eager audience, many of whom were
easily recognized as violin and cello
enthusiasts. They were in their glory.
Casals began his music treat by play
ing the Sammartini "Sonata," a gay.
rollicking, almost-Irish presentation of
a good-humored theme. In fact, it is so
gay that it is difficult to believe that
it belongs to "high-brow" music but
it does. It received a delightful ren
dition. The Lalo "Concerto is a graver
presentation, and it was interpreted
with due dignity. Here the 'cello tonal
effect was rich, warm, almost saccha
rine. The next group consisted of five
diversified compositions, some of them
poetically beautiful. The Boellmann
Variations afforded the artist an op
portunity to exhibit his amazing tech
nique, and the instrumental effect was
wonderful!
George Stewart McManus. of San
Francisco, was the piano accompanist
and again played with fine ability and
tonal execution.

unit was reorganized as a national
guard company.
A meeting' was hcA Saturday evening
at the Multnomah Tiotel by returned
members of this organization and those
who were formerly members hut who
were unfortunate and were not includ

definite plan was laid whereby this
unit will reorganize as quickly as all
the hoys return from overseas.
Captain Bowen, who had charge of
company C for 17 years, was present at
the meeting last evening and addressed
the boys. Lieutenant Hansen is also
assisting in the work or reorganizing.
A veteran corps will 4e formed at once
and Captain Bowen placed in charge.
Then when all of former members have
returned and placed with this corps an
application will be made to the govern

and continuing through Thursday. The
extension service of the college, which
will conduct the school, has completed
a strong programme.
Professor G. R. Hyslop of the depart

duced. As the Southern Pacific is the
only road serving the tie mills of west
ern uregon, an raiiroaa ties must ue
bought through the purchasing agents
of that road.
The tie manufacturers are dissatis
fied with this arrangement. Vhey de
clare that the Southern Pacific offi
cials decline to pay the price fixed by
the government and that they are so
strict with their grades and inspections
that the bulk of the products of many
operators, who have 'manufactured ties
in good faith, according to government
standards, is rejected.
The association comprises nearly 150
small mills in the Willamette valley
and on branches of the Southern Pacific
between Roseburg and Portland. They
have perfected an organization by the
election of W. H. Buey, president of
the Devitt Lumber company of Sum
mitt, Or., as president, and O. H. Ball
of Eugene as secretary. Headquarters
has been established at Eugene.
It is probable that this meeting will
devise a plan to secure a readjustment
of the present purchasing system so
that open competition can be restored
among the railroads in the market fot
lumber, and so that normal market
prices may be restored.
The situation already has been
brought to the attention of the Oregon
representatives and senators in con
gress. The Oregon legislature adopted
a joint memorial asking return ta the
former purchasing system.
