THB Portland symphony orches-1
tro entered upon a new era Mon
day night, when the Symphony
Society of Portland was organized
at the complimentary concert given
by the orchestra for those who have
made the symphony concerts pos-
: slble, both this season and in past
years.
This- new society means an in
creased interest in the symphony
orchestra, for instead of a few, many
will now have the opportunity to
aid in supporting this civic enter
prise. Anyone may become an an
nual member by the payment of ?10
:'; each year. Thus the scope of those
. who contribute to the support of the
. orchestra will become much larger.
One hundred signed membership
cards at the dinner, preceding the
concert on Monday at the Multno
.. man hotel. It is expected that dur
ing the asuminer this number will
be increased to 500.
The fee of $10 does not bring any
privileges or benefits other than
membership in the society. The or
chestra will continue to be sup
ported by the season ticket sub
scribers, door receipts and the sub
scribers to the maintenance fund.
The donors, whose liberal subscrip
tions have made possible the 11
successful years of the orchestra,
will continue to give their financial
support.
By the formation of the symphony
society, Portland enters in the classi
. fication of larger cities, which have
found this method extremely satis
factory and a successful way of en
listing personal interest from many
citizens.
James B. Kerr, who presented the
plan of the new society, paid a
warm tribute to the skill of Mrs.
Donald Spencsr, business manager.
Mrs. Spencer will continue in this
capacity with the orchestra next
season. Mr. Kerr explained that she
donates her services because of her
interest in the orchestra and its
welfare. '
The artists who will be soloists
with the orchestra during the com
ing season of six concerts will be
announced in the next few weeks. ,

ASTORIA BOY WIN PRAISE.
Sandford Schlussel, an Astoria boy,
who is well known throughout the
state, Is receiving high praise from
Chicago critics for his artistic play
ing. He has been studying piano for
three years in Chicago and before
that time appeared- many times in!
recital in Oregon. He is a member
of a pioneer family and his progress
being watched with interest by
his many friends here.
Speaking of a recent concert, a
Chicago critic wrote: "Sandford
Schlussel, pianist, was not a strang
er to the large audience at the Fine
Arts Recital hall, for they had ap
plauded him enthusiastically when
he appeared at Orchestra hall under
the auspices of the Bush conserva
tory some time ago.
His playing last night revealed
the same qualities for which we had
admired him then a touch of rare
delicacy, execution fine of finish and
technically excellent and interpreta
tive conception that is absolutely in
dividual. 'His treatment of the Rameau-
Godowsky 'Tambourin' and the Sear-latti-Taussig
'Pastorale and Capric-
cio' were crisply rhythmic and bril
liantly authoritative.
'Here Is a young pianist with an
assured future."
He will return to Oregon in Au
gust for a short visit and then will
go to Chicago to resume his work.
MUNICIPAL OPERA IS SUCCESS.
ST. LOUIS, June 23. With De-
Koven's "The Highwayman as its
first offering, St. Loiiis' municipal
opera opened its -eight weeks' sea
son Tuesday lSght, before an
audience that filled the 9246 seats
in the municipal theater in Forest
park. " ; .

Moulan is principal comedian, Eva
Fallon, ingenue; Arthur Geary,
tenor; Lorna Doone Jackson, con
tralto; James Stevens, baritone

sides "The Highwayman", Includes:
Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts,"
Kalman's "Sari," Gilbert and Sulli
van's "The Yeomen oj the Guard,"
Sidney Jones' "The Geisha," Rein
hardt's "Spring Maid,", Johann
Strauss' "The Queen's Lace Hand
kerchief" and Kalman's "Miss
Springtime."
Over $150,000 will be spent in cast
and productions for the season. The
orchestra of 50 is made up almost
exclusively of instrumentalists from
the St. Louis' Symphony orchestra.
Profits of $24,000 from last sea
son wel'e expended by the Munic
ipal Theater association, of which
Mayor Kiel, of St. Louis 1b president
with Nelson Cunliff, director of
public welfare, as chairman of the
executive productions committee, in
improvements to the city's big open
air theater in Forest park, where
the operas are given and in estab
lishing and conducting the free
chorus school.
Profits expected this year will be
used to extend the municipal opera
chorus school to train more promis
ing chorus students in minor roles.
Ultimately it is hoped to be able
to develop both casts and chorus
in St. Louis and to make all-St.
Louis productions; without sacrific
ing art to civic spirit.
' St. Louis believes this can be done.
Frank Rainger, stage director, who
has been loaned by Dillingham to
St.; Louis for -the summer, and
Charles .Previn, musical director,
wno comes to municipal opera on
leave of absence . from the Erlanger
forces, gave added force to that
theory when they agreed that never
before had they heard a chorus of
such fresh and flexible young
voices, in light or grand opera. The
100 in the chorus were chosen from
230 who completed the course in
the municipal training school. More
than 5O0. applied for entrance and
of ; that number 300 met voice re
qurrements,1 which were high. Thelesting piano recital in Lincoln high
chorus t is notable .for the back
grounds,pf its individual members.
For instance, two of the boys are
sons of the editor-in-chief of a Dig
st. liouis aauy. one of the girls
has been chosen by Rudolph Ganz
as a - pop" concert soloist with his
St. Louis Symphony orchestra next
season.

A biography interesting from both
human interest and musical stand
points is Ethel Smyth's "Impres

of a woman and, a musician;- but
there is much that is entertaining
in her accounts of her high spirited
English childhood, her relatives and
friends. She writes little of her
ANNOUNCEMENT
P. A. Ten Haaf, concert baritone and teacher of singing, will
conduct a summer class in voice during July and the first two
weeks of August. .While comparatively new in Portland, Mr. Ten
Haaf 's extraordinary success as a vocal teacher has been the
topic of much discussion among the teaching profession. Through
the science of co-vibration, acoustics and resonance, his pupils
have been quick to master their teacher's conception of the per
fect singing tone, and are already setting a high standard in
' vocalism throughout the west.
Mr. , Ten Haaf will be glad to consult with intending pupils
tfesiring vocal instruction, or those who are in doubt as to the
correctness qf their tone production.

Dedication of Fort Hoskins
Missed by Confederate.
Retired Corral lis Pastor Has Re
merabrance of Sheridan.
o1
REGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, June 24.
(Special.) Dedication of the site of
Fort Hoskins Memorial day failed ;
to draw one pioneer of Benton
county who has a startling remem
brance of Phil Sheridan, builder of
the fort Dr. J. R. N. Bell, pastor .
emeritus of the First Presbyterian
church in Corvallis, and traditional
football mascot of the college for
whom the stadium and athletic field
on the south campus was named.
Only the fact that Dr. Bell has
been confined to his bed for a year
and nine months kept him from the
perpetuation ceremonies, for he
made Sheridan's acquaintance on the
battlefield Cedar Creek, in Shenan
doah valley immediately after
Sheridan's famous ride.
Dr. Bell was on the other side.
"We Confederates had the north
erners on the run," said Dr. Bell,
"and things were in our favor. I
was supporting a battery. . All at '
once I saw Sheridan ride up on a
sweat-covered horse, notmore than
300 yards away. He rallied his
troops and made a sweeping counter
attack. We were forced to fall back,
as we were badly scattered and the.
officers began a retreat."
Dr. Bell was captured three times
that night, and three times made his
escape in the woods. John Young,
also of Corvallis, and a great friend
of Dr. Bell's today, happened to be
in charge of the northern soldiers
who captured Dr. Bell. Mr. Young
is a frequent caller at the bedside
of his former opponent in the great
struggle, and always brings him a
present on Memorial day.
"Sheridan was a great hunjer,"
said Dr. Bell. "He went to Salem
and borrowed a double-barreled
shotgun to go on a goose hunt. On
his way home in the evening with
an empty bag he saw. a flock of
barnyard geese swimming in a small
pond near the road. Sheridan asked
a farmer leaning on the fence if he
would let him shoot one barrel of
his gun in the flock for a dollar
and get to keep all he killed. The
farmer consented.
"Sheridan fired and killed four.
'Here's your dollar,' he said. 'Thank
you,' said the farmer, 'You'd better
get going, for here comes the old
lady who owns the geese." It cost
$20 to appease her wrath."
Pioneers who were unable to at
tend the Fort Hoskins ceremony
were much Interested In newspaper
reports and pictures of the affair.
Many of them believe that more his
toric spots should be marked with
some enduring monument of stone
or cement.
