A
DOZEN' years or so ag6 I wrote
an ' article about a little town.
then in Crook county but now.
by the creation of a new county, in
Jefferson, in which I told hoW the
town of Madras happened to beget 1
its name. I do not now recall the
Dame of the rancher who lived on
willow creek and desired to have a
postoffice established thereon, but if
I remember aright he had a jaw
breaking name and applied for an of
fice by that name. At Washington
the namers of postoffice decided
that such a name should not be Used,
so they went away off to the bay
of Bengali in India and gave the
Crook county office the name of a
city in a far-away land, Madras.
Before the railways were built Up
the Deschutes, Madras was a busy
little burg, for there was much traf
fic through the town by stagecoaches
and freight outfits. There was a
stretch of road without a watering
place between Mud Springs to the
north and Trail Crossing of Crooked
river to the south, except at Madras,
and even there the little creek that oc
casionally had water In it, "Willow
creek, was mighty undepehdable.
But there was always some Way to
get some water there, even It one
had to go down into the earth frohi
800 to 500 feet.
Railways Not Far Away.
If you will look upon a map of
that section you will find Madras as
situated on two railroads, the O.-W.
R. & N. and the S., P. & 6., but that
part of the road is called the Oregon
Trunk. Well, in a way the town is
located on those roads, but it Is about
four-bits to one and 50 cents to the
other, for both run along the hills
above the town. I am ndt saying
that as a drawback to the town, for
the good people of that place can and
do overcome far greater disadvan
tages than the location of the rail
roads. One of these days the Madras sec
tion will have irrigation water. In
fact, that bright day is not far dls'
tant, for the irrigation district has
been formed, bonds voted and sur
veys made to bring water down from
the upper Deschutes, about Benham
falls or Crane prairie, 30 or 40 miles
south of Bend. There will be a large
storage reservoir there, the waters
in the flood season impounded, then
turned into the Deschutes when needed
and taken out near Aubrey falls,
where there will be a dam, and
brought over the thirsty lands sur
rounding Madras. The word sur-
started. The Madras State has a cap
ital of J25.000 and deposits of l9t.
S12.71. Andrew Morrow is the presi
dent and R. J. Olsen, cashier. The
First National Was just opening up
when I was there." W. H. Ratnsey Is
the president and F. George Kern the
cashier. The State bank has a nice
little bank building of its own. The
First National has finely equipped
quarters on one of the best corners in
town.
The Flsber hotel fs the name by
fiich the new brick hotel is run
Fred Fisher and Mrs. Fisher are con
ducting it. They are running It in
good shape and doing a fine business.
The old Hotel Madras, that Used to do
such a business when the railroads
first reached the town, has recently
been worked over and is now a Very
nice place to stop. It is under dual
management, Harry Epsing serving
the meals and Mrs. Joseph Seifert hav
ing charge of the rooms. I got very
good accommodations there.
Lind sang are arranging: to celebrate
the day.
Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm
of humble parents. She sang from
childhood and famous teachers be
came Interested in her. At It her voice
entirely failed. Four years later it
carhe back and her remarkable career
began. Her first operatic role was
Alice in Meyerbeer's "Robert le Di
able." Having been acclaimed in her
owh country and in Norway, she car
ried her conquests to the continent
and to England.
she was- probably the most talkea-
of person in public life in all Europe
when Barnum, without having seen
her or heard her persuaded her to
make a tour of the United States. No
sooner was the contract signed than
the new impressario, "according to his
autobiography, "began to prepare the
public mind for the reception of the
great songstress."
The steamer Atlantic that brought
her to this country was saluted at
Sandy Hook and again as she plowed
up the Narrows. Forty thousand
people assembled at the landing and
on the surrounding piers to greet her.
Triulnphal arches marked her path-:
way; Crowds surged around her hotel
and clamored for her appearance. Auc
tions for the sale of tickets brought
thousands of buyers. Genln, a hatter
a mad hatter" they called him
paid $225 for the first New York
ticket. His unheard-of extravagance
made him famous. The highest price
paid for a single ticket was in Provi
dence, where the bit of pasteboard
was knocked down to Colonel Ross
for $650.
135 Concerts Gtren.
The nightingale gave about 1J5
concerts tn this cdunt'ry more than
35 in Mew Jfork City. Everywhere
audiences fought to Jtaih entrance to
the concert halls. Everywhere they
Stormed her with applause and
everywhere admirers and charity
seekers besieged her. Extra concerts
had to be given to satisfy the throngs
and Jenny Lind herself added mors
extra concerts for charitv.
People prominent in public life paid
her great honors. Mayors and gov
ernors presented their compliments in
person.
Jenny Lind broke her contract
with Barnum- with 65 concerts yet
to sing but the great showman and
the Nightingale parted friends. While
visiting in Boston, she was married
to Otto Goldschmidt. composer and
pianist, and shortly thereafteV re
turned to Europe. In 1858 she tbok
pup her residence In England, Where
she died in 1887.
There is no record of Jenny Liftd's
voice. But the journals of her time,
the feW living persons who heard
her and those to Whom the memory
has been handed down all tell the
same story "It was wonderful!"
AMERICA TO PAY TRIBUTE TO
"NIGHTINGALE" JENNY LIND
Centennial ot birth of Famous Singer to Be Celebrated by Reproducing
First Concert Ever Given in This Country.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21 America
will pay tribute to Jertny Lind
on October 6, the one-hundreth
anniversary of the birth of the Swed
ish nightingale, whom P. T.'Barftufh
brought to this country in 1850 on
her spectacular concert tour of nearly
two years. The centennial is to be
commemorated throughout the music
loving world. In Sweden, in Eng
land and in other countries where
she sang, fitting plans are under way
to honor the greatest singer ot her
time the fine noble-hearted woman.

all around the town.
Wealth la Water.
Madras has lying just to the north
and northwest a great plateau called
Agency plains. I would say there are
in excess of 50,000 acres ot this land,
lying almost as level as a dancing floor.
Most of it has been farmed and in
extra good years, when the precipita
tion was sufficient and timely, great
crops of wheat were taken from It.
This land is now worth how much?
I should say if it is to remain in its
present state, without water, that it is
ot worth 820 an acre; with water it
ould be worth, as prices run today,
tin excess of S150 an acre, an increase
of 86.500,000, estimating the area at
80,000 acres. And that is only for
the land in that one direction, while
there are vast bodies ot equally ' as
good land actually surrounding
Mad ras.
This water Is bound to come to the
Madras section. It would be suicidal
for the people of the state to sit
supinely and blindly by their firesides
and see this life-giving water flow
by these lands to the sea when four
or five million dollars would mean
snore than 3.000,000 bushels of wheat
a year in the MadTas section.
Tom Has Lowest Altitude.
Remember, now, Madras is at the
lowest altitude of any part of what
w call central Oregon. Look at the
map. Bend, 3616 feet, Redmond. 2985
feet, Metolius, 2518 feet and Madras
2456 feet 330 feet below La Grande,
1030 feet below Baker! Let me tell
you that the garden spot of the futuia
central Oregon is in the Madras
vicinity. -
I was greatly astonished when I
visited Madras a few days ago to
find that since my last previous visit
several fine brick buildings had been
erected, among them a mighty nice
hotel, a really modern, well equipped
hotel. None of these new buildings
have more than two stories, but they
give the town an appearance of per
manency that only brick and mortar
can give a place. And I was surprised
to see the large stocks of goods car
ried by the stores and to see the trade
activity. All day the streets were
lined with autos and the stores filled
with customers. ,
Paper 16 1'rara Old.
The first place I headed for was
the office of The Pioneer, that fine
old weekly newspaper that mv old
friend Howard Turner ran so long
ana so successt uiiy. He sold it a few
years ago and it is in the able hands
of George T. Pearce. It Was started
16 years ago and has always been
good paylnE paper and a fine news
journal. Turner, now a bloated bond
holder, is running an abstract office.

Madras is enjoying all of the emolu
ments and dignity of a county seat.
It was taken away from Culver at the
last election it will never be taken
from Madras. The County affairs
Have been mighty well bandied, no
scandal of any sort has been un
earthed or even hinted. The authori
ties, when the town was named by
the voters as the capital, took posses
sion of the fine brick high school
building as a court house and it makes
an admirable structure for the pur
pose.
New Bank Started.
The Madras State bank has long
enjoyed all of the bank privileges and
back the stage picture and atmos
phere of that memorable night of
September 11, 1860. The same pro
gramme will be given. The proceeds
of the concert will be given to the
sarhe charitable Institutions to which
Jenny Lind gave the proceeds of the
original concert.
Frieda Hempel will appear In the
role of her famous predecessor. She
will wear an exact copy of the gown

will sing the same arias, and play
her own accompaniments to the same

It is contemplated to hold a cen

circular building in Battery Park from
October 1 to October 10. Many of Jen
ny Lind's personal belongings and
intresting relics associated with her
tour here will be shown. The old
concert grand piano will have its
place of honor.
On the afternoon of October 6, the

Twelve SOnirs by Francis Hopkinson. edit
ed by Harold Vincent Milllgan. The Ar
thur r Schmidt Co., New York city.
Mr. Mllligan is remembered in this
city as the organist and choirmaster
ot Calvary Fresoyteria.n church, prior
to the ptriod several years ago when
he moved to New York city, where
he has since become a noted member
of that musical community.. ,
The Oregonian recently reviewed
Mr. Milligan's first large book,
"Stephen Foster: A Biography."
Twelve songs, composed by one of
the earliest, if not the earliest. Amer
ican composers. ' Francis Hopkinson.
and edited by Mr. Milligan, have just
been received for review.
The 1920 reader, and music student,
well may say: Who was Francis Hop
kinson? He was born in Philadelphia
in 1737, was a politician, an ardent
believer in the republican form of
government, a composer of charming
lyrical songs, a painter, humorist and
political pamphleteer. He was one of
those rarities, a poet who composed
satisfactory music for his songs.
Admitted to the American bar in
1761, he passed a year afterward in
England, as the guest of his cousin,
then the bishop of Worcester. .Re
turning - to Philadelphia, he busied
himself In the legal profession and
as an active member of learned so
cieties. Becoming a resident of New Jersey.
Mr. HOpklnson was made' a delegate
to th continental congress in 1776,
signed the Declaration of Independ
ence, Was judge of admiralty in Penn
sylvania, 1779-80, suffered Impeach
ment, Which failed, and afterward be
came district judge. He died in 1791.
Mr. Milllgan deserves credit for his
earnest and painstaking researches
into American music history, affect
ing the lives of our early American
composers. Many a half -forgotten
American song has been brought to
light by this Portland boy.
Realizing that club workers and
students of -musical history had ex
hausted ordinary fountains of infor
mation, the reference book and the
encyclopedia, Mr. Milligan sought
fresh avenues of research wnicn lea
through collections Of rare manu
scripts, family archives and long
burled correspondence, to authentic
records of the lives, artistic and per
sonal, lived by the men who wrote
America's earliest music. naturally
such earnest, tactful research was
rewarded by access to old desks,
trunks and prized heirlooms rarely
before ooened to alien eyes, belong
ing to tWentleth-century aescenaants
of pioneer composers. 10 jut. aimi-
gan was intrusted the reproauction
of precious daguerreotypes and' the
cortipllatlon . of family letters pale
with age.
In his preface to "Six songs oy
Francis Hopkinson." Mr. Milligan re
marks: "In December, 1788, Francis
Hopkinson of Philadelphia sent to his
friend, George Washington, at Mount
Vernon, a volume containing eignt
original musical compositions. In
the ouairit and courtly letter of dedl
cation he said: 'However small the
reputation may be that I shall oertve
frorh this work, 1 cannot, i Deneve,
be refused the credit of being the
first native of the United States who
has produced a musical composition.
Mr. Hopkinson was the intimate friend
of George Washington. Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Yet,
he found time not only to compose
music, but also to organize concerts
in his native city, Philadelphia, where
he was one of the leading patrons of
the arts. These songs have lain tor
gotten and unsung for more than A
century. None of them were written
out irt complete form by the com
poser and they have never before
been put into modern harmony and
notation."
In "Ktx Songs by Francis Hopkin

"Mv Days Have Been So Wondrous

Now Dr. Carlat is accepted by com
petent authorities as a distinguished
newrologist, as well as a student and
an original contributor to the new
science of psychoanalysis in obtaining
a knowledge of the unconscious.
Dr. Coriat, who gives Boston, Mass.,
as his home, shows In this book of 92
pages . a wonderful analysis oS Lady
Macbeth's character. Dr. Coriat shows
sympathy, eloquence In argument and
decided power jn interesting the lay
reader.
It Is stated that "the hysteria of
Lady Macbeth was produced by a
repression of opposing wishes into
the unconscious, there setting up a
mental conflict. The somnambulism,
as a symptom of the hvsteria. was an
effort . to neutralize the unbearable
reality of her conflicting experiences,
into what is tffrhnically termed a
flight Into disease. The somnambu
lism Was A form of mental dissocia
tion Which always results from men
tal conflicts."
Dr. Coriat argues from the testi
mony of the physician in the tragedy
bf "Macbeth" that Lady Macbeth
before the periods of the murders
had several times been subject to
attacks of hysteria.
Lady Macbeth, it Is thought, nat
urally was a coward. The action of
the play shows where she took alco
hol to give her courage to do evil
deeds and to have evil thoughts.
"The repression of-the secret of the
murder, the Imaginary wish to be the
mother of a line of kings, here coin
cides In consciousness with terror and
excitement. The repressed emotions
have thus been injured and out of
this Injured repression the hysteria
arose. The two complexes were al
ready at work in the consciousness of
Lady Macbeth, and it Is these com
plexes or rather the repression of
these , complexes which led to the
mental dissociation. The ambition
complex Is based upon day dreams
of ambition, not so much for herself
as for her husband. It is a substitute
for her childlessness, or rather for
the children she has lost, and it may
be "termed a sublimated sexual com
plex." Lady Macbeth's sleep-walking scene.
in analysis, shows "it is neither gen
uine sleep nor the prickings of
guilty conscience, but a clear case of
pathological somnambulism, a genu
ine disintegration of the personality
fcomnamoullsm may be defined as a
mental state in which the subject pos
sesses particular memories and does
particular acts, but of which there is
no more memfirv nrt rtnrn tn t i a
I normal state of consciousness.
Macbeth is thought to be an epilep
tic. The Witches' prophecies bring to
Macbeth embryo wishes and half
formed thoughts." He suffers from
"a mental contagion which he trans
fers to his wife and which develops
in her into a typical case'of hysteria,

Mr. Kemp in his younger days was
a sailor and when he became a lands
man he learned he possessed the
ability and will to write poetry. So
we have these 100 odd poems in this
book of 173 pages.
Many of these verses are of the sea
and tell of the old days of sails and
wooden decks. Other poems are of
strange texts, and still others reflect
scenes from tfce Bible.
Mr. Kemp tells in his preface that
once he was in jail for an offense
which he did not commit and, as the
only book he had with him was a
Bible, he read it. liked it, especially
the stories of the disciples of Christ.
The Kemp poetry has a hearty,
