GRACKFUL compliment has been
paid the City of Portland in the
appointment of Charles L. Brown,
dean of this ' city's bandmasters and
professional musicians, to be director of
the municipal band for ihe ensuing
season.
Twenty-five years ago last January
Mr. Brown became a resident of this
city, a.nd it i.s fitting that his musical
services should be thus recognized in
a year' when he is celebrating his sil
ver anniversary as a resident of Port
land. Born In the State of " JIaine. Mr.
Brown spent his youth and received
his musical education In Boston, Mass.
Jn the year 1879. Mr. Brown moved
to Colorado, where he lived for 10
years, and in January, 1889, he arrived
in this city, where, for 19 years, he
won success as director of orchestras
In Portland theaters. Me was the first
musical director of the orchestra In
Marquum Grand Theater, winning the
position from 18 other competitors. In
1899 Mr. Brown was active in organ
izing the first Portland Symphony
Orchestra. . as we know it today, and
was its director until the season of
3 902.. Mr. Brown then became active
ly interested in furthering the cause
of mi'ltary band music in this city,
wild for three eventful seasons he not
only was director of the military
bands playing in the different parks
throughout the city, but he personally
canvassed the city for subscriptions
from the people to pay for the ex
penses of these concerts, raisintr $6000
for three successive seasons. That is
why Mr. Brown is entitled to the
honor of being called the dean ol
Portland's professional musicians and
the pioneer -of its Summer open-air
band -concerts.
Mr. Brown's library of band music
Is new and up to date, and although
he has not yet completed his . plan of
concert programmes, it is known that
he Is In thorough sympathy with the
compositions of the best of the new,
modern composers and that this school
of music will find place in making up
his programmes. Mr. Brown says that
the band Instrumentation this season
will consist of 31 players; and that re
hearsals will be started immediately.
There will be 60 concerts this season,
as against 40 in previous seasons, due
to the fact that the money appropriat
ed this year for municipal band con
certs amounts to 510.000.- It is likely
that afternoon band concerts this year
will not take place, as the attendance
afternoons last season was so disap
pointing.. It is likely that Commis
sioner Brewster will ask'Mr. Brown to
start his park concerts, .evenings,
about the end of April or the begin
ning of. May. The principal concerts
will take place-Sunday afternoons at
Washington park.
Edward MacDowell, the American
composer whose Indian, suite will be
played by Portland Symphony Orches
tra at the Heilig next Sunday after
noon, had an idea that the similarity
of Indian melodies to some tunes of
Northern Europe was direct testimony
of the early explorations of this con
tinent by Xorse adventurers. He be
lieved that t these daring sailors
learned thesjngs from the Indians
and carried them back to Europe.
The suite, considered by many com
petent judges to be one of the greatest
of American compositions and equal to
Home of the finest works of the mod
ern European school, will be one of
the fcatur.es to. be presented by Con
VTA OiAswa.

Princess Tsianlna Redfeathcr. who
will assist the distinguished composer,
Charles Wakefield Cadman. in his recital-lecture
at the Lincoln High School
auditorium March 23, is not a "make
believe" Indian, but a genuine descend
ant of the famous Chief Tecumseh. She
Is said to be one of the most beautifu!,
talented and cultured women of the
vanishing race, and is only 13 years
old. Princess Redfeather has a rich
mezzo-soprano voice, and is an ideal
medium for the expression of the Cad
man Indian songs. Like the songs ef
her people, she has been idealized, by
the culture of mind and voice. She Is
a splendid example of what the Gov
ernment Indian schools can accom- .
plish and Is a living refutation of the
familiar statement that education and
culture for the Indian does more harm
than good. She always appears in na
tive dress, and her graceful, pictur
esque figure, with her vivid person
ality, intensifies the Cadman recital
lectures most effectively.
Tsianlna Redfeather, which name
means wild flower, was born in the
Creek nation, being the daughter or
the last Creek chief in Oklahoma. She
traces her ancestry directly back to
Chief Tecumseh. and Is as proud of the
fact as are the descendants of Poca
hontas. She Is an enthusiastic admirer
of the Cadman music, and says that
this composer has caught the spirit of
