Gogorza Will Open Season's
Subscription Concerts
OF
THE musical critics of Boston are
I fond of lying In wait for any of
the Metropolitan stars over.-wJwm
New York has been wild with praise.
It is interejting to observe how the
critic of the Boston Globe had nothing
but approbation for the Spanish bari
tone, Goorsa, who was . entour last
season Willi Emma Eames:
"Really tine baritones are rare
birds," began the critic, "and are to
be had neither among the.. .'hull-roar-ers'
nor the sentimental "near Kenors.'
The man with a virile quality In his
make-up and voice usually succeeds
merely in seeming foolish when iie
Kings In the veiled . voice, and almost
never shares his frank opinion about
the pitch with his' hearers. One adds
hat Gogorza comes as near being the
ideal baritone as anybody who has
Hung here in a long time, and then
lorgtvea liim that he loves' the ring of
the shaking rafters and turns loose a
tone occasionally that Is calculated to
ho!a Its own against orchestras, Wag
nerian scores and enthusiastic' baton
wavers." The music lovers of Portland
will have the chance to hear this great
voice on Monday, October 15, at the
Jleilig Theater, when Gogorza will
give a song recital under the direction
of Lois Steers-Wynn Coraan. The list
of subscribers to those concerts will
close on Wednesday, October 3. '

to his piano.' Mr. Rosenthal has an un
usual talent for improvisation, and is the
author of several -selections for the piano.
He is a roncertist of no mean ability, and

comment from both public and press.- He.
is considered brilliant in technique and a
pianist possessing extraordinary power
and temperament.
Mr. Rosenthal recently gave a recital
at his home in - this city, at which time
, a number of prominent musical critics
were present and were very much pleasetl
with both his technique and interpreta
tion. He played .the "Moojdicht Sonata"
by Beethoven, the "Marche Funebre" by
Chopin, and a number of selections from
Mendelssohn. Bach and Raff.
His breadth of tone is the chief quality
that strikes you find. His wealth and
luxury of strength and tone coloring is
tempered in a way that .suggest? nothing
but genius.- He at once impresses those

which express his orrt individuality and
ease in overcoming technical difficulties
and refinement in phrasing. He has a

an instructor, and is" the possessor of a
number of diploma -and medals, having
received his first diploma at the age of
14. He received high honors wherever he
was a pupil, and was at the head of his
last graduating class, having held that
honor for four consecutive "years before
gra1uating.
Mr. Rosenthal believes that Portland is
the musical Center of the Pacific Coast,
and this above all induces him to make
this his permanent home. He expects to
give a public recital in the latter part
of this Fall, at which time he will make
. his bow to the music-loving public of
Portland, after which he will make a
tour of the Western States. He will then

Have you taken advantage of The Oregonian's great educational enterprise T ,
Do you know that thousands of dollars are being saved to readers of this paper?
Here is the plan. Read carefully, for it means that you can, with little effort and no sacrifice at all.
reap the benefits jot a great co-operative enterprise;
The Oregonian wishes that there, could be a good
encyclopedia in the homes of all its readers ; first,
because an encyclopedia is. the most necessary and
valuable work that literature has ever, given to man
kind; and, second, because no intelligent man or
' woman, and especially those who have children
growing up, can afford to be without this great aid
to learning and progress.
The chief obstacle heretofore in the purchase of
an encyclopedia has been price. If it were not for
the enormous cost of getting together such a vast
amount of information, publishing it in suitable
form, and selling it by high-priced agents, encyclo
pedias would be as common as dictionaries. .
It is, of course, impossible to reduce the expense
of compiling and publishing an encyclopedia, but it
is a comparatively easy matter to cut down the sell
ing expense,' which in itself represents almost half
of the usual retail price. -
This, in brief, is the purpose and object of The
Oregonian's Go-Operative Encyclopedia Club the
elimination of the middleman. Sets are shipped to
' purchasers direct from the binders. As a result of
'. this saving in advertising and selling expense
FREE
those who join the Club are enabled to secure an en
cyclopedia at about the actual cost of production,
and on the most favorable terms only a few cents
a day.
The encyclopedia decided upon for this enterprise
is the NEW STANDARD, a first-class American
encyclopedia which has only recently been com
pleted, after years of labor and at enormous expense.
It differs in many respects from all other reference
works now before the public, in that it is entirely
the work of practical men and is especially adapted
to the home, to busy men, and to school students of
all ages . Its editors and contributors number more
than 200 of the world's greatest scholars and practi
cal educators.
This great reference work is published in twelve
massive volumes, which contain the equivalent of
thousands and thousands of books, giving in con
densed and readable form the collected wisdom of all
time. Its 55,000 articles cover almost 900,000 topics,
which provide a complete home university -the
latest and most accurate information on every sub
ject. It contains 3000 beautiful illustrations and 150
large colored maps, making it a complete atlas of the
world, as well as a reference library.
FREE!

If you have no encyclopedia at all, or if yon have one that
is old and unsatisfactory, we will send you, on receipt of the
accompanying coupon, a 36-page book showing many of the
illustrations, portraits of prominent men, maps, beautiful .
colored "plates, sample articles,' etc., from the New Standard"
Encyclopedia ; also full particulars of the Club, showing how
easily you can secure fftr yourself and your family the .
benefits of this co-operative enterprise.

HARRIMAN FACES IMPLACABLE
ENEMY ON NEW RAILROAD
Unless $60,000 Is Paid for Eight of Way, Lessee at Cape Horn Threatens
to Make Things "Warm for Magnate.
THAT Harriman has found a more
bitter enemy than Hill . in one
William B. Felts, who has leased the
land back of Cape Horn on the Columbia
River, Is shown by a threatening letter
recently received by officials of the
Columbia Valley Railroad, the Harriman
line that Is building along the north bank
of the Columbia.
That Felts is implacable and will fight
the new road to a standstill unless $60,
000 Is paid him for the privilege of cross
ing land which he claims he holds' under
lease from the State of Washington Is the
burden of the missive that reached Presi
dent Gerlinger of the Columbia Valley
this week. The irate Mr. Felts says he is
able to restrain himself from proceeding
against the Columbia Valley construction
crews now at work, on Cape Horn only
by persuading himself that they are work
ing On land which has been secured by
the Portland &. Seattle from him. But,
he says, wait until the work proceeds far
enough, so that there is no longer doubt
that the railroad crews are ericroaching
on land which he has leased, then he begs

the president of the new railroad to watch
him wreak revenge.
Just what steps the incensed Mr. Felts
will take he does not state, but from
the tone of his letter it might be inferred
that he intends to drive the whole Har
'riman construction outfit into the river.
It is an open secret that Mr. Felts has
already tried to demolish the work of the
Columbia Valley tunnelers at Cape Horn.
One night at dusk a man, who is said to
have been Felts, rowed cautiously to the
bank below the jutting point of rock
where gangs are now blasting out a tun
nel for the Columbia Valley and attached
a fuse to two sticks of dynamite which he
had placed in the rock. He lighted the
fuse and rowed quickly away from shore.
The resulting explosion did about as
much damage to Cape Horn as would
have done a bunch of firecrackers. Later,
it is said, the man who tried to blow up
the cape sought help of the Columbia
Valley crews to accomplish his purpose.
Now a watchman, shotgun. In hand,
paces along the riverside at Cape Horn,
keeping vigij very night lest the man
who has sworn vengeance on the Cape
Horn tunnel work shall explode dyna
mite among the boilers or machinery of
the drilling plant. At noon, while the men
are away for lunch, the watchman keeps
guard. That Felts will shake down Cape
Horn there is .not the slightest fear, but
that he may wVeck the machinery if given
an opportunity is to be guarded against.
Those familiar with the situation say
Felts is either in the pay of the Portland
& Seattle or is not quite sane on the
subject of Harriman. That he has any
grievance against the Columbia Valley
Railroad Is denied. The tunnel under
construction will go under the cliff many
feet below the top of the cape, where Mr.
Felts says his lease lies and the tunnel
can do no possible harm to the land. The
Columbia Valley also claims deeds from
the state of Washington for its strip of
right-of-way which antedates the lease
executed to Felts.
However it is evident that Mr. Felts
has worked himself into a fine frenzy
over a disregard of what he considers are
his rights. He speaks of the arrogance
of the railroad in proceeding with Its
construction work before a settlement was
secured with him and voices dire threats
against the railroad corporation.
His terrible vengeance against the com
pany for going ahead with its tunnel work
remains to be felt. It is thought he may
have laid a mine which he intends to fire
when the crews reach a point which he
considers to be on his land. Precautions
will be taken to guard against any such
revenge.

the ingredients that enter into the manufacture of a beer are all of
