No other article in the home should be selected with greater care than
furniture. A good many things carry their own evidence of character
but in selecting furniture you must go deeper than surface values.
You want furniture of real character, the kind that has charm and last
ing serviceability built into every detail of its construction. It has been
by providing such furniture that Powers have built an enviable repu
tation in Oregon. - For years we have led the way to better homes with
furniture in the newest period styles at a cost no greater than for or
dinary furniture. You will always find the very finest furniture at
Powers and prices are always the lowest.

BT EMILIE FRASCES BATJER.
NEW YORK., July 31. (Special.)
If the eprinr time turns men's
thoughts to fancy and to love, surely
summer turns these same men to
thoughts of music, and New Toxic
is supplied from all quarters. "With
all the parks la use and with Colum
bia university as the center of at
traction tri-weekly. It Is due the New
York police band to say that its groat
musical strides have been the sub.Vtct
for wonder and praise from all who
appreciate the dissemination of music
Eighteen years ago this band was
organized by a few members of the
force and it was regarded as a joks
among their superior officers, fellow
policemen and Indeed, the public
large. But the years of hard work;
and of sturdy determination have told
and the New York police band is now
a musical body of which, any city
might be proud. Following the work
accomplished by Edwin Franko Gold
man last summer the band selected as
permanent conductor waiter B Rat-
era, the famous cornetlst. whose wide
experience as bandmaster, reputation,
and thorough musicianship have mads
mm an Ideal man for the position.
Last summer this extraordinary
body of musicians presented 90 con
certs in the various parks and rec-
reation spots of Greater New York,
but greatest of all was the joy which
it has brought into the lives of thou
sands of the poorest people who wers
made to realize that they were not
forgotten. At one time this body of
men would play for them in a school,
then in a park, then in an institution
like the bouse of refuge, then in
hospjtal and then in a home for th
feeble-minded children, not to men
tion the war charities or drives. All
this, indeed, with no expense to the
city, seems remarkable and shows
what a great need there Is to keep
a municipal band at work so that
music of this sort need not cease when
summer music is over.
City Chamberlain Philip Beroli
heimer, who has charge of Mayor Hjr'
lan s people concerts, is an entbuiasti
musician and has lent a remarkable
spirit to the uplift of anything that
has to do with music for the masses.
To Mayor John F. Hylan great credi
Is due for his desire to give the peopl
all the music that can be allotted
to them and he has given his personal
time and attention to all music that
has to do with the people. It is also
fortunate that the present police com
missioner allows the band time for
necessary rehearsals, considering that
each man does regular police service.
Rothwell Attracts Thousand.
The management of the stadium
concerts has inaugurated a "gala
night" each week, but almost any
night when Walter Henry Rothwell
conducts it may be so regarded be
cause his readings in themselves are
masterpieces and the most valuable
lessons that can be offered to any
music lovers, music students or pro
fessionals of the highest calling.
General Coleman Du Pont added
himself last week to the underwriters
of the concerts, contributing $6000.
which was significant of the place
that these concerts have already mads
for themselves. Already those to coo
tribute include Adolph Lewisohn, Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs, Harry
Payne Whitney, John D. Rockefeller
Jr., James Speyer, Mrs. Willard IX
Straight. Mrs. Edward S. HarKness,
Mrs. R. Penn Smith. John McK. Bow
man, Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, Edmund
Coffin, George McAneny, nomas a
Edison, E. H. R. Green, J. Leonard
ReDlogie. Finley J. Shepard, Jacob H.
Schiff. Mrs. William Ambrose Taylor,
Dwight W. Morrow, Felix M. Warburg
and others.
- Blarcella Craft Brilliant.
The week iust past has had many
sensational events, not the least im
pressive of which was the presence of
Marceila Craft on Tuesday evening,
when the brilliant operatic artist who
will be heard next season with the
Chicago Opera association sang "Eliz
abeth s Greeting" irom "lannnauser,
and in the second part of the pro
gramme the bird song from "Pagliac-
ci in both winning showers oi ap
Dlause from the delighted audience
who eagerly uemanaeo. more wnicn
was graciously granted. The superb
accompaniment accorded the singer
by Mr. Rothwell made the event that
much the more enjoyable and gavs
Miss Craft the sort of support whlcn
meant freedom, abandon and every ir
tistic shading necessary for Interpre
tations which will be long remem
bered. The beauty of her voice never
seemed greater, while her freedom In
the high tones showed that she must
have been devoting herself to study
with all conceivable determination to
surpass anything she has heretofore
attempted vocally. The programme,
too, was exceptional, presenting ths
Tschaikowsky fourth symphony to
the delight of all present.
The overture, "Master Singers of
Nuremburg," opened the second "part
of the programme done in Mr. Roth
well's most Wagnerian vein which Is
saving enough, but he fairly roused
the audience into a veritable ecstasy
when he gave such a Teading to "The
Blue Danube Waltzes" that Johann
Strauss himself might have envied.
It was obvious that one must have
lived it to be able to find the Viennese
characteristics as Mr. Rothwell found
them. Born of an English father in
London, the conductor was taken early
in h's life to Vienna and there re
ceived all his musical training and
his was a great career there, his
operatic and concert experience nav-
ing been gainea at tne siae w viuom
Mahler.
Mr. Rothwell rurtner aengntea
those present by a very impressive
performance of "Star-Spangled Ban
ner" prior to the programme of the
evening.

NORTH BEND, Or.. July 31. (Spe
