Three Concerts in Auditorium
Attract Attendance of
16,000 Persons.
HALL CROWDED AT FINALE
iOuis O raven re, in Programme of
teelected Songs, Is Greeted by
Outbursts of Applause Sil
very Tone Pleases.
BY JOSEPH M'QUEBM.
Artistically and financially, the first
annual music festival or the Portland
i estlval Association, completed by a
concert held last night at the Public
Auditorium, has been a gratifying suc
cess. The three concerts in the series were
attended by about 16,000 persons.
All accounts have not yet been bal
anced and it will be a few days before
the exact credit balance is known. The
cost of the festival is estima'ted to be
about 18000 and the receipts will Just
balance this sum and probably leave a
small sum over.
Theodore Thomas, the great orches
tral leader of Chicago, used to say,
when his concerts ended in the usual
financial loss: "Well, what of it? Music
festivals are Institutions of art. not in
stitutions of banking. They were not
meant to make money, solely."
Baiilnrm Men Manage Festival.
Here Is where Portland, Or., is great
er than such easy philosophy. Its music
festival was managed by a committee
of Portland business men who directed
a successful festival, and is able to
pay all bills. The entire record is
highly creditable.
Last night the Auditorium was filled
to capacity and late comers had to be
patlsfled with standing room. Again,
the spectacle was one to be remem
bered and treasured as a musical mem
ory. The concert was possibly the most
auccessful and enjoyable of the entire
eeries, because the programme was a
miscellaneous one and the great Louis
Graveure, Belgian baritone, sang. The
audiences have demonstrated decisively
that so far as the majority is con
cerned public taste in this city favors
a programme made -up of diverse ele
ments, and not one in which the pro
gramme calls for the rendition of an
oratorio all the evening.
I.ouift (irBTcnre Make Hit.
Louis Graveure shone like the vocal
tar that he is. In his programme of
selected songs. His voice was larger
and more agreeable, more shining than
ever. One moment you would swear
that be was a baritone, and the next
moment wonder if there was not some
tenor in his vocal make-up. His upper
register was silvery and of impeccable
purity. Portland folks are familiar
with Graveure's "Prologue" from "Pag
liacci," through experiments with me
chanical records. They caught sight
of the real "Prologue" last night. It
was like a drink of water in a desert,
a meal to the hungry, a glad welcome
to a friend whom one has not seen for
a long time. The singing of this opera
gem was characterized by extraordin
ary ease of vocalism and emission of
tone. The tone-building was perfect,
and interpretation superb.
Five Hungarian folk songs were
down on the list, and Graveure moved
away from the orchestra and sang to
a charming, musicianly piano accom
paniment played by Edgar E. Coursen.
Graveure's singing of these songs made
a music sensation.
Applause OreetM Singing.
He was greeted by a whirlwind of
applause. Ho sang with touching ef
fect the ballad "Tommy Lad" (Marget
son) and walked away. Another furi
ous recall from all parts of the audi
torium. This time Graveure sang with really
poetic "whispery" effect and tender
ness of sentiment "Vale," or "Good
Bye" (Kennedy Russell).
Miss Kathleen Lawler. an admired
Portland favorite, and who now is pro
fessionally engaged in music in New
York City, was the soprano soloist of
the evening, and she made the vocal
hit of her career. Her superb voice
is fuller and larger than when she
sang in this city and she sang with
sweetness, ease and artistic finish. She
has the prima donna stamp over all
her vocalism. She is an honor to her
native city.
Her Liszt number was sung with ex
quisite tone quality and sentiment,
while her "Caro- Nome," from "Rigo-
letto. was an artistic gem. She was
-greeted at its conclusion by. a furore
of applause, her recall number being a
lovely bit of short loveliness, "Love's
in My Heart" (Woodman). Her Handel
number was stamped with true dignity
of interpretation.
Orchestral Numbers Please.
The orchestral numbers pleased all
lucky enough to hear them. The Tann
hauser number was finely rendered
and so was the "Jewels of the Madon
na." The "Irish Rhapsody" made a pop
ular hit.
4 The cantata. "The Golden Legend.'
composed by the late Sir Arthur Sul
llvan. who created such Joy-treats such
as the Mikado, Finafore, etc., was
written in the year 18SS, and was :
music sensation when it was origin
ally performed.
The words arc adapted from a poem
, of Longfellow. Kight or nine years
ago, or so. the cantata was performed
by a large chorus under Mr. Boyer's
direction, at the Armory, and the prin
cipal reasons why it was selected for
performance last night were because
of its intrinsic musical excellence, the
fact that it is built around a solo bari
tone 'voice such as that possessed by
Louts Graveure, and because so many
of the old Boyer chorus knew the
music and were theerfore valuable ac
quisitions in the new festival chorus.
Interesting Story Related.
The story in "The Golden Legend"
concerns the adventures principally of
Prince Henry, of Hoheneck. He is sick
in mind and body at his castle of Vauts
berg. on the German Rhine, and is
moody because the learned physician of
Solerno says he can be cured only by
the blood of a maiden who of her own
free will shall agree to die for his sake.
Disguised as a traveling physician,
the devil, who in this cantata is called
Lucifer, visits the sick Prince and
tempts him with alcohol. Prince Henry
vields ana is so stupefied by the fumes
of the poison that he is driven from his
home as an outcast. The Prince finds
shelter In the cottage of one of his re
tainers, and the latter's daughter. El
sie, moved by compassion for the sick
man, determines to risk her life to save
liin. Her mother. 1'rsula, advises her
against this purpose, but Elsie is per
sistent. On their way to Solerno Prince
Henry. Elsie and their servants meet
a band of pilgrims, neaded by Lucifer
disguised as a friar.
At Solerno the party of travelers
after health is met by a physician who

BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
ITH THE THIRD REGIMENT,
OREGON INFANTRY, July 7.
Special.) These are days
which may be properly called, "Getting
results.""
The Third Oregon, under the guid
ance of Colonel C. E. Dentler, whose
vast storehouse of practical military
knowledge is the fount from which the
officers and men in Oregon's regiment
is drawing its military knowledge. Is
showing results.
The Third Oregon, like every regi
ment in the service of the United
States, win always have with It Its tra
ditions, and they will always carry
with them the Colonel Dentler brand.
The Third Oregon has had many reg
ular Army officer Instructors. Each
new Instructor had his own way of
teaching, but It remains for Colonel
Dentler to put the finishing touches
that will be lasting.
Results Shown on Surface.
This getting results has not been an
easy task, but with the system that
Colonel Dentler and Colonel May,
working in perfect harmony, have ob
tained are to be noticed in a hundred
different ways. It Is all rather won
derful, too, the results which are dally
showing on the surface, when every
thing Is taken Into consideration. The
big handicap, of course. Is the fact that
the Third Oregon, being as widely
scattered as it Is, is rounding into
shape. Had the whole regiment been
in one camp ever since it was called
into the service, the ground work of
these results would show more plainly
than they do.
The many ways this has been accom
plished are too many to set out in the
brief space allotted to one article. Yet
what may rightly be called the Colonel
Dentler-Colonel May system looms on
the surface, big like a harvest moon.
Just one little Instance.
Separate TJnits Benefit, Too.
The people of Portland saw what the
soldiers of the Third Oregon could do
when they performed on the Multno
mah Field on the Fourth of July. That
was only a small fragment of the
Third, but what they saw then is a
good example of the sum total of the
entire regiment. Why? Just because
the gettlng-results system works the
same with the detached units in the
field on duty as it has done with the
battalions here In camp, simply be
cause, like a vast telephone or tele
graph system, all of the outside units
are in touch with headquarters, both
day and night.
Colonel May. by this smooth work
ing system, keeps his fingers on the
pulse of all the units. Even in spite of
the fact that the units In the field are
on guard duty, the same schedule
which is mapped out each week by
Colonel Dentler. and which has been in
operation here in camp, is In operation
in the camps of the other organiza
tions. 1 do not mean that the Third Oregon
Is
ready for the. trenches, nor do I
ean that the regiment Is anywhere
near perfection. What I do mean is
this, that a firm foundation Is being
her and la restored
by
miracle to
health.
Lyrics SHIne In Music Score.
Around this wild, romantic legend
Sullivan has written a music score that
sparkles with lovely lyrics, beautifully
written male voice choruses and dra
matic scenes for mixed-voice chorus.
The score is more than ordinarily dif
ficult, both in orchestration and voice
parts.
The music committee of the festival
found that the cantata was too long
to present in its entirety, so they made
appropriate selections and these in
cluded the famous prologue describing
scenes around the spire of .Strasburg
Cathedral, a night of storm and the
devil, with the powers of the air, try
ing to tear down the holy cross. Saints
and demons fight, and the cathedral
bells toll out a Gregorian chant.
Mr. Graveure, as Lucifer, was in fine
voice. He sang with strong dramatic
effect, especially in the opening solo:
Hasten! Hasten!
O ye nplrlts.
From its station drair the ponderous
Cross of iron, that to mock us
Is uplifted hleh in air.
Women Chorus Slnsrers Do Well.
The women chorus singers sang
magnificently In interpreting their dif
ficult-to-read notes, and the tenors and
bassos sang with stirring dramatic ef
fect in the Gregorian chant "Nocte
Surgentes."
Miss Lawler, who was Elsa, sang
with clear, sparkling purity of tone In
the solo. "The Night Is Calm, and Cloud
less." The choral gem of the 'entire
concert was a little bit of music sung
without any orchestral accompaniment,
the text being:
O pure In heart. O pure In heart.
From thy "sweat dutrt shall trow mien
On whose petals shall be written
"Ave Maria" in characters of gold.
The singing of this number was a
perfect vocal treat in pianissimo, with
exquisite tonal shading down to a deli
cate whtsper.
The choral epilogue, "God Sent His
Messenger, the Rain." was grandly
sung by the complete chorus, and its
thunderous tones spoke the last words
of the festival programme.
The festival has tested the acoustics
of the building and the universal ver
dict is that the acoustics are "O. K."

Kire, which started by spontaneous
combustion in a rile of raps under

Portland Railway, Lig-ht Power Com
pany's station at Ktrst and Alder streets
last nig'ht, caused about $300 damage
to the building and contents before
the flames were quenched by Chemical
No. 1. of the Kire Bureau.
The fire was discovered by. Phil Met
schan, Percy Garrigrues and Ralph A.
Watson, who smelled the smoke while
crossing1 the Morrison-street bridge
with an auto party. They reported the
fire to employes at the station, but

long to get next, but it did take the
relatives and friends longer.
In spite of the fact that the Western
Department has turned down every
effort Major Marcellus has made to
obtain motor ambulances (the regiment
is entitled to five and seven motor
trucks), the Third Oregon is going to
have a motor-driven ambulance. The
women of the Army and Navy Auxil
iary, through Mrs. Oliver, chairman of
the Army and Navy ambulance fund,
and Mrs. John L. May, wife of Colonel
May, have set out to accomplish what
is to be known as "our boys' ambu
lance," and they have things so shaped
that the ambulance is an assured fact.
They have even selected the kind they
are to give the Third Oregon.
Adjutant-Generals Entertained.

Third Oregon entertained two state

OX NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Letter to President Oilman Tells
of
Enjoyable Voyage With Captain
Hunter and Courteous. Crew.
Dustin Farnum, "movie" Idol, who la
said to be able to ree! off innumerable
yarns of "sights he's seen and things
he s heard," experienced new sensations
last month, when, as a member of a
troupe of the Fox Film Corporation, he
made the trip from the Golden Gate to
Flavel on the crack turbiner Northern
Pacific, which Captain Hunter oper
ates for the Great Northern Pacific
Steamship Company.
Unlike most passengers, the motion-
picture party spent all of their time on
the round voyage aboard the ship, for
their purpose of going to sea was to
complete certain reels in which it was
necessary to show a speedy liner in
action. In that way they were able to
know the greyhound from bridge to
bilge. Also, they became acquainted
with the officers and general system
aboard as ordinary trips would not per
mit, so Mr. Farnum paused in his prep
aration for a run across the country
the other day to write L. C. Gilman,
president of the steamship corporation,
and this Is what he penned:
"My Dear Mr. Gilman Just a few
lines before I leave for the Kast. in
memory of the most pleasant trtp on
the water that I have ever had. In my
life I have made many trips across the
big seas to and from, but the little
trip I made last week on board your
Northern Pacific stands out among
them all; In fact, I am at a loss to un
derstand how anyone would ever go by
train along the Coast with such a boat
and crew to travel" by.
"We were on board five days, and
during that time our work, consisting
of the filming of scenes for a current
picture, seemed utter play, as each and
every member of your ship's crew, from
Captain Hunter and Chief Engineer
Bunker down to the merest deck boy,
simply exhausted every effort in their
power to make our trip the most en
joyable. I might add, in fact, that I
consider Captain Hunter the most
charming officer of the sea it has ever
been my pleasure to meet.
"Will you please accept my slncerest
thanks for the dozens of courtesies ex
tended to our entire company and to
me, and especially for your kindness
in allowing us to remain on board

NO VACANCIES NOW EXIST
Gentlemen's Agreement Suggested,
by Which Vacant Judgeships
Slight Be Filled During Ab

SALEM. Or.. July 7. (Special.)
With over 20 candidates in the field
as possible successors to Judge Ganten-
bein and Davis, of the Multnomah
County Circuit Court, in the event these
two judges should resign. Governor
Withycombe asked today that the del
uge of letters for respective candidates
cease.
"Judges Gantenbein and Davis have
not even submitted their resignations
since leaving for military service."
said the Governor today. "In event
they should resign I will take steps
immediately to name "their successors,
but Buch a flood of letters as is now
pouring in is entirely unnecessary and
accomplishes no good purpose. , .
Governor Sees Something; Wrong;.
"The situation which exists In the
state as to Judgeships is not entirely
as it should be. I am led' to but one of
two conclusions as to the situation
caused by the absence of the two
Judges. Either Judges of the state out
side of Multnomah County are being
gravely imposed upon or else the entire
judgeship system is top heavy. If bust,
ness can be conducted with two Judges
away, then there are too many men
on the bench. If it cannot be so con
ducted, then judges from other parts
of the state are compelled to neglect
tneir outtes when they are called into
Multnomah County to preside.
Gentlemen Asrcement Suggested.
"I believe the situation could be
clarified if Judges Gantenbein and
Davis would enter into a gentlemen's
agreement with whoever might be ap
pointed on the bench to succeed them.
By this agreement the men appointed
would guarantee to relinquish their
posts at such time as Judges Ganten
bein and Davis were relieved from
their military duties and those .two
Judges would be reappointed to com
plete their terms.
"It has been the policy of this office.
where a state official or employe has
entered any branch of the service, to
provide that upon his return bis tem
porary successor would re re and
allow the official to return to his post.

"While there is no law on the sub
ject as far as a Circu.i Judge is con
cerned, the same end could -be attained
by a gentlemen's agreement to that
effect.
"But I am anxious that this cam
paign on the part of the friends of the
20 or more candidates come to an end
A veritable deluge of mail has flooded
my office during the past few days,
and. obviously, from the fact that no
resignations have been received, and
also from the fact that the two absent
judges have even offered no indication
that they will resign, it is useless and
annoying to have this avalanche of
mail continue."
Attorney-General Refuses Opinion.
Attorney-General Brown today re
fused to give an opinion as to whether
the acceptance of a commission in the
Army by these judges would cause
them automatically to sacrifice their
Judicial offices.
"As far as I know, no commissions
have been issued to the two judges,"
stated the Attorney-General. "The
auestion has not come up to me and
I will offer no opinion on it until it
does come through the proper chan
nels." FLAVEL HAS $2500 FIRE

cendiarism Investigated.
ASTORIA, Or.. July 7. (Special.)
The little town of Flavel was visited
early today by a blaze which destroyed
two frame buildings with the bulk of
their contents, entailing a loss of ap
proximately $2500. The structures
burned were a 26-room lodging-house
owned and conducted by C. D. Gillett
and a small building owned by W. S.
Jones, but leased as a barber shop.
The Astoria fire department respond
ed to the call for assistance, but could
do nothing when it arrived but ex
tinguish the blazing ruins and thus
prevent a possible spread of the fire
by flying embers. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, but there are many
rumors of incendiarism. Gillett's
lodging-house and auto which he op
erates for hire have been boycotted
since last Fall by many persons of
Flavel, because he has be .n active in
assisting Marshal Connell in the en
forcement of law and order and has
been .a witness for the state in boot'
legging cases.
This feeling was so strong that, it
Is said, few would help fight the blaze,
and Gillett saved only his piano, all
the furniture, wearing apparel and
even Mrs. Gillett's Jewelry being de
stroyed. District Attorney Erickson
and Sheriff Burns are making a thor
ough investigation of the fire.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair be careful
what you use. Most soaps and pre
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as It
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain,
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can.
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
