"He that hath not music iu his soul nor is not moved by coucord o( sweet sounds," should keep away (rem Eugene on the even ing when the bands give their opea air con certs if he does not desire t have his nature radically changed.

Tbe Band Controveny. Eugkie Cm. Mat 22, 1879. Editors Guard: I desire with your per mission to occupy a little of the space of your valuuble paper, and also to trespass on mo -tience of yonr many patrons. 1 offer as an atvilii'.rv fnr art itoinir tho neccessitv of heme a replicant to a low, slanderous and scurrilous ciimm miration that smieared in the Journal beariuir date o( Mth uk, and signed by th numbers of the Eugene I lty Brass Ham . I have endeavored at all times in the discus sion o( matters pertaining to Brass Itands, to avoid all personalities, aud I a u sure every person that have read my communication to to the pre's on tins subject, will not ilitler with me wlien I say mat wnat i nave written has been fairly, openly ami ranmuly stated. The members ot the Eugene City Brass Bard evidently, are disposed to pursue a differer . coi rse from what 1 have taksn and instead o.' eateriir! into a fair discussion of the band ques tion seek rather to gain notoriety by an un warunUhle and unjustifiable attack on me in asicuch as I am the leader of the University Band. 1 shall take up the charts as they ap peared in the Journal and shall before I get through. 'Vive honor to whom honor is due," and show ttid people of Oregon the members of the Eugene City Band, that wrote, signed and procured the sigualures of the other mem bers of said to the slanderous communication that appeared above their signatures. fhe first charge is, that in my couiir.uniea tiou to the Trumpet .Notes I stated that the Eugene C.ty ituuil had dwindled from twelve horns to oue horn and drum. This charge I dtny inasmuch as tiie couiinunnicatio:) I sent to the Truniet Notes bearing date of Julv 10, 167S, I stated that the Eu,-ene Brass Band had dwndled from 12 boms, to 7 horns and drum, being the actual number ot persons at that time were bona fide members of the band. I gained in v information from Mr Chas Horn who told me that the pupils that Mr Farrell was then training were not considered members of the band, and that it made no difference whe.her they pan ded with the band ou the 4th of July or not, they would not be entitled to any pay, aui what is more trumpet .otes did not say the E.igene B ind had only one horn and drum, but as limited- -one horns Mid drum. It take but little thought to discern that l is singular and horns plural, aim iu set tiug up type this figure 1 might be very eas'lv inserted fur the riu'iire 7. showing that fi was nothing more than a typographical error, (or which the publishers of the Triimiiet Notes are alone responsible. This explanation I have made to the memliers of the Eugene lianu time and again and should I think be accepts: as it is the truth. In my communication to Trumpet Notes bearing date of March 17, 1879, I copied it as it appeared in the city paper wiiu no oii'y uuiimon oi a pareutnvsi (ten dollars) as 1 was Desirous of showing what this "enormous expense" amounted to. Mr. Chas. Horn informed that their band d levied a.i assessment of ten dollars to buy music, and if my communication to Trumiiet Notes is erron eous 1 am not to blame. The publishers made a mistake in this coiniuuuicatio i, only in the kind of type used in printing my letter inas much as a portion of my letter was printed with nonpareil type, when it should have beeu printed with sinnll pica type, thereby making my own comments appear as an extract from our city piqie , This explain Jon I have offered many times but it Beeins that the members of the Eugene City Brass Band are nut willing to accept any thing reasonable, but will, instead resort to vii lifying me for for which 1 am not in the least responsible. In order to show yonr readers that I have beeu a welcome contributor to one of the baud magazine iu the United States or Canada. I have only to submit the following letter from C. G. Conn, Esq. , editor aud pub lisher of Trumpet Notes; J. H. Bliows, Eugene City. Dear Sir: We duly received your communication for Trumpet Antes and will puulisu the same in our next number. Accent our thuuks and write again as often as once a mouth if nnssible. Yours &c, C. G. Gonn. The memliers of the Eugene City Brass Band denies the fact of my having organized their band. .Let us see who tells the truth this time Hut before I enter into diseussinir this subiect. desire it to be distinctly understood, that I do not intend to slander any one, but shall lay the blame and censure on the par'.y that deserves, it. Inasmuch as P H Farrell, Viu. Christian, Ed. Dorris, Al. Jajkson, J. B. Kim-hart, Ike Steinheiser and George Smith were not iu any way connected with the organization of the Eugene City Brass Band and what they know concerning the same is only hearsay. It be comes my duty to say that their evidence in this particular part ot the case, is nut ad missible and that they placed their signatures to a document that contained charges of a grave nature without hr.viug any information or knowledge ofcharges tiiereiu contained. Let me give those persons a little advice: be caret id gentlemen in ttie future about uttachin & your names to documents the nature of winch you are not well acquainted with. Now, Mr Chas. Horn as you was not a member ot the &u reue City Bund at the litae of its first organization; you cannot be iu (K-ssessior. of auy information whereby you can accuse me of taking a cup or prove me to be guilty of any other misdemean or of which I am charged iu a certain documents that bears your signature anion other UK-nibers of the Eugene t'ltyllross Hand. xour love for the truth , aud lor the sake ot your own honor, you will be compelled to ud init.that you know nothing of tne cireumstan ecu mentioned in the aforesaid document; and your love ot the truth will also deter you in itenviu : that ou Saturday evenm;, Mav 17. 1679, you told me in your own workshop Uiat you knew very little of what the letter contain ed (that bears your signatures) beiore its pub lication in the journal; also that 1. K. Peters "seemed to know most about this business"and I. K. Peters brou ;l't Hie letter to your Band room and obtained your signatures with that of other memliers ot tiie band. This you stated to me most explicitly, it now appears your yourself , J li Christian aud George dill have also been duped into signing a low scurrilous document, wilhot knowing but very little of tne contents ol the sam-. Now, Mr Win. Kil- illlgswurbii, pieaso ten tile jrnouc, wuu were uie parues engageu iu tna pri.c uiit iiiiiuiii ed iu tue letter in the Journal, having your signature, with that of other members of the bugeue City brass Jj.tnd aud while you are in tne act of explaining please state for what reas on you paid a hue oi 11 to the City Iiecorder l:ie day after the you are so desirous of Know ing about. Mr. I K Peters: in your commu nication to the Journal bearing date of II ay 1 A, lat'J, signed by yourself and other members oi the Eugene iir.ias Band (that you duped in to signing) you deny the fact that I organize'' tiie Imii I uf which you are now a member, 1 beg leave to relresu your memory with a few of toe facts now in my possession. I arrived iu Eugene City, Alareii IS, IHti, and was hired as teacher ot the Eugene band in a few days alter my arr vaL 1 was apoiotcd a commitee to draw up a coustitUt'on and by-laws for the government of tils hand whicn was adopted aud entered iu the band book in my haiidwiit inj, and if not destroyed is still iu the possess ion o' your band. 1 he statement that Proi. praucis was present at the first meeting ol tiie Eugene City U-od b-dd over the store ol A. V 1'eters & Co. is very erroneous as 1 was present myself, and played for tbe persons that ailer wards composed the baud and tuned their horns for them, and it was at this very meet ing the alleged mistake was made in connection witu Erlat Alto. Mr Thoa. Belshaw can U-suiy to these facts. You also stated in your communication that the old land book snows "an entry "Paid lr Benfrew, May 17,V'i5.75 for tour weeks and two days board,' and you say ''this prove that he was here four weeks and two days before the 17th of May and which altogether proves the bond to nave been organized before u came. 1 his slatoment is lalse, lor 1 received bnrt umn.J on April Zth, 1S72 and U ie band members did not pay my board bill before dz ana Jlr reicn were nearly .. i i "j l . .1..

You sav I t xik one of the cans purchased for the Eugene Band by tlio young ladies and that I have alwavs refused to irive it uix I answer: that you know this to lie a falsehood, as I was elected leader of the band before the csis were purchased and more than that the cap was given to wear by one of the young ladies that computed the the committee. ou also say I had a suit made contrary to the desires of the yoiurr "idles aud bad it charged to them. Keou this ami see who paid for that suit. EtiiEXE Citt, June 25, 1874.

In addition to this I paid Mrs Watkiuds $3.00 for making the shirt and pants showiug that altogether with what I spent at the band sociable amounted to over lu. Uoes this look like taking a cap and a suit from the young ladies. ou say I have not made a musician in the whole eight years I aave beeu iu Eu gene. I have proven to the satisfaction of the people of Lane l.ountv that there Is nut a ter- sou that is in auy way connected with the Eu gene City Band that can lay claim to the title oi a musician. Y es. Mr. I K Peters, hash up all you can from the miistv leaves of your old band book, and you will make the fact appear as clear a the noonday stiu that you aid not hesitate to swindle Mr Thos Belshaw out of ten dollars, which was his rightful liortion of the money earned by the band in their summer engage ment you will also hnd a ncn lead iu connect ion with your swindling operations prac ticed on Mr. George Kiusey, iu depriv ing him ot his portion of the band property, amounting iu the aggregate to $25. ou soy 1 wrote to tne Oregouiau and signed leader E. C. Band I answer; I signed nothing of the kind to my letter, Every communication I have written has been signed U. C. Baud, and if it appeared otherwise in the Oregonian I am not responsible. If I was voted out of the Eugene City Band, it was done after my in forming your band, that I should have nothing to do with it Even if it is true as you allege it shows that the members of the Eugene band paid more attention to this transaction than they did to your feelings, at the time they gui rid of you, when you were the figure head of the band' by elec.iug me as leader of the'r baud, without asking or giving you time to of fer your resignation. No one, after reading your letter, Mr. I. K. Peters, will accuse you of undue familiarity with "Webster's Unabrigedj" hereafter your statements should be taken by the public at large cum grano salis In conclusion let me say to the Eu "ne Citv Brass Bund, that I have never a eiv. d a iigle invitation from any member ot their baud to visit them at their band room; and as for fighting the Eugene Band I can assure you that I have hod something else to do during the past eight years. I have always endeav ored to be friendly with the memliers of the Kujene. Band, and the leader of the band can testify that I transited his musio for the band for some considerable time after he had accepted the position as leader, uud helped as much as iswsible, to ensure the success of the band. I regret very much that my zeal for (food music should be regarded as au over bearing aud domineering act, and I must say that 1 have hod no other motive in view but the elevation of music, and that also of the bands of Oregon. Aa for my communication to Trumpet Notes. I shall always (eel at lib erty to give expression to my opiuious con cerning the nanus oi oi uregm. i aiso none the Eugene City Brass Band will accept tlio challenge of the State University Band and come forward in a friendly manner and assist in making the conditions under which we may contest. We will do anything iu our jiower to facilitate business and shall only be too glad to contest for a cash prize as well as the honor. J. H. Brown, Leader University Cornet Band Junction I'lly Itcmt.
