XXA CASE, soprano. Metropolitan
opera company of Xew York, who
ings at the Heilig Wednesday
evening of this week, under the direc
tion of Steers Sc Coman, captivated
San Francisco completely on her first
appearance on March 3. Ray C B.
Brown of the Examiner. March 4, says:
"Captlvatlon of audiences has be
come such a commonplace of the re
viewer's vocabulary that the phrase is
generally eschewed by the seeker for
sincerity, yet there are times when its
direct forcefulness Is needed to convey
the elmplicity of fact. Anna Case cer
tainly held her auditors in thrall last
evening at her first recital in the
Savoy theater, and no circumlocution
would enhance the completeness of the
conquest. It was a capitulation with
out reservations, a glad surrender to
charming queen of song.
"We dwellers on the western verge
of the continent frequently have to
wait so long for the coming of th
famous, feeding our impatience and
curiosity upon words, that we are
sometimes disappointed when th
reality falls to measure up to th
long-nurtured expectations. This makes
all the more notable the arrival of
singer who fulfills all hopes and satis
fies anticipations.
"Anna Case is richly dowered with
the qualities of person and artistry
that attract a ready admiration. She
has beauty of face and contour, grace
of manner, a personality radiant with
magnetism, the poise of conscious mas
tery of her resources and a voice o
rare loveliness. An artistry at once so
consummate and so unobtrusive as to
make its contemplation a delight guides
her every movement and utterance:

The Arctic will be pictured In scores of wonderful slides and described In
his great narrative, "My Five Years In the Arctic," by Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
the famous Arctic explorer, at the municipal auditorium Tuesday evening
March 13, at 8:15.
Stefansson's first expedition to the Arctic was In 1908 and in 1908 he
returned. He has tramped over 10,000 miles on Ice and snow. His greatest
discovery was of the blond Eskimo, in 1910, which he found on Victoria island.
This discovery has been considered of great importance by scientists of all
nations, as it Indicates that some of the ancestors of the islands were Europeans.
The most remarkable characteristic of Stefansson as an Arctic explorer is that.
Instead of carrying with him vast supplies of food, clothing and equipment,
he mainly "lives as he goes." It Is a great asset to him that fie can live like
the natives of the barren lands in which he travels.

FRIEND OF AGRICULTURE, TITLE
EARNED BY JAMES WITHYCOMBE
Fame of Late Governor, Says Friend, Will Rest Largely on Fact That He
Lifted Great Industry to Higher Plane.
BY C. E. KINDT.
WHEN a boy of 8 years I lived on
my father's farm at what Is now
known as Kinton, in Washing
ton county, about 12 miles southwest of
Portland. In that year Governor Withy
combe's father and mother, together
with their family of several boys and
girls, came to Oregon and purchased a
tract of land near Farmington, about
six miles from where we lived.
The governor's lather was a typical
looking "Johnny Bull" Englishman,
with ponderous fists, thick fingers and
a heavy face, adorned with the well-
recognized "mutton-chop" whiskers.
His mother was an entirely different
type, rather tall and slender, attractive
in manner and speech, with a sunny,
gracious disposition. At that lime.
1871, the Christian, sometimes caitea
the "Campbellite," denomination had a
church at Farmington where there was
preaching once a month. Most ol the
DeoDle of the surrounding country at
tended these services regardless of to
what particular church they belonged.
Two sermons were given, one in the
forenoon and one in the afternoon, and
during the intermission a basket din
ner was served in the surrounaing
grove. Tne DUUding nas tons muco
disappeared, but the oak trees, now
very much larger than they then were,
are still standing. Here the Withy-
combe family came to worship.
At that time it was customary for the
men to sit on one side of the church
room and the women on the other side.
Mrs. Withycombe upon taking her seat
invariably spread her handkerchief on
the floor, which was more or less dusty,
and kneeling, repeated her prayers,
which was to me a new and interesting
performance. The Withycombe boys
wore round caps with a button at the
top and a couple of short ribbons at
tached, which were the envy or the
other boys.
Innovation Is Ridiculed.
Not long after their arrival the
Withycombes made some drain tile for
their own use which anoraea mucn
merriment to the neighbors, all or
whom pronounced it an imported fad
not worth considering. The hole from
which they obtained the clay to make
the tile may still be seen. Today Wash
ington county has more tile in the
eround than any other county In the
state and I believe this was the begin
ning of the tile Industry in Oregon.
couple- Ol inues uuni liio
combe place lived Robert A. Carpenter,
whose daughter, Isabelle, afterward be
came the wife of James Withycombe,
and who still lives as the widow of the
late governor. Mrs. Carpenter was fre
quently called upon in early days to
assist in cases of sickness. My brother
John had whooping cough and my
mother took him over to Carpenter's,
whereupon Mrs. Carpenter related that
she had heard that a fish placed in the
mouth would cure the disease. Isabella
was sent to a brook which ran hard by
and soon brought a small trout. John
took the treatment, recovered, and is
still living.
Dr. Withycombe, as he was called
before he became governor, practiced
the profession of a veterinary surgeon
for many years and traveled ' over
Washington county by day and night
when the roads were a great deal worse
than they are now, and they are far
from perfection even yet. He ranked
high in his profession and was the first
state veterinarian after that office had
been created by the legislature, receiv
ing his appointment largely upon the
recommendation of the 'late Congress
man Thomas H. Tongue of Hillsboro,
who had known him ever since he came
to Oregon.
Doctor Judge of Stock.
James Withycombe was a great ad
mirer of fine stock and was one of the
best judges of the points and qualities
of horses, cows and sheep in the state.
His knowledge of the science of diversi
fied farming was second to that pos
sessed by no other man in Oregon, and
this fact lost him many votes when he
first ran for governor and was defeated,
because many farmers resent advice
given them by a man who may hap
pen to have a "boiled shirt" on, though
this discrimination is now fast disap
pearing with a better appreciation of
the science of farming arid the benefi
cial results flowing from it.
A great deal of criticism, mostly by
his political enemies, has been directed
at the governor's farm near Hillsboro
But it must be remembered that his
public duties as state veterinarian, as
member of the faculty of the state
agricultural college at Corvallis, and
as chief executive of the state have
caused him to be away from the farm
for the past SO years, and the average
tenant is not quite so careful of a
rented place as he would be with one
of his own.
Dr. Withycombe in his youth In Great
Britain had seen what the growing of
kale And clover would do, what a silo.
dairying and diversified crops would
do, what drainage and soil building
would accomplish, and as the soil and
climate of the Willamette valley are
more nearly like those of England than
any other part of the country he natur
ally recommended these things to the
consideration of our people. Looked
upon at first with skepticism, they
have now become firmly established
and have been found to be sources of
millions of dollars cf wealth, while the
opportunities for their further exten
sion are unlimited.
Never having been an applicant for
office at Governor Withycombe's hands.
I could not be expected to speak with
that degree of candou and frankness
of his political frailties, as has been
indulged iu by disgruntled office seek
ers. I have heard some of these dis
appointed gentlemen speak with such
candor and frankness of the governor
as would have been really embarrass
ing to him had he heard their remarks.
His administration, while not brilliant,
was clean, safe and sane, and unusually
free from political scandal. Possessed
of some infirmities of temper and curt
ness of speech, he often made enemies
when he should have gained friends.
His powers of public address were not
extensive and he knew far more than
he could clearly express, which is not
so bad as telling more than you know.
He neither chewed, drank nor
smoked. He was an honest, upright
Christian gentleman. He was not em
bittered by political defeat or unduly
elated over political success. His title
to fame will rest largely upon the
fact that he lifted agriculture in Ore
gon to a higher plane, that he made
two blades of grass grow where only
one grew before, rather than upon po
litical achievements, which are many
times ephemeral and elusive.
Shoshone Punchboards Mast Go,
WALLACE, Idaho, March 15. Notices
sierned by Prosecuting Attorney Hull
and by Sheriff Jeptha Scott have been
served upon all poolhall proprietors
in the county that punchboards must
be immediately eliminated. Punch
boards always have been permitted in
Shoshone countv up to this time, but
the prosecutor's office recently ruled
that the operation of the boards is a
violation of the Idaho anti-gambling
law. It is expected that a test case
will be made that the question may be
