The following from a Portland paper will bo of Interest on Coos Day, as J. II. Keating was for a long tltno manngcr of the North Rend Condonsary: "There are, no doubt, hundreds of Portlandors who remember the old, popular favorites, 'Must One Girl," "Just as the Sun Wont Down." os "Stny In Your Own Rack Yard," but perhaps few of them know that one of the authors of these favor ites of fifteen years ago Is a Port laud real estate man, J. II. Keating, of the St. Charles Laud Company., ".Mr. Keating hns retired from song writing ns a profession, bur still finds Inspiration to dash off the words and music of a ballad or n rag now and then. Complete revolution of the song-writing game he declares, responsible for his en tering other Holds of ondenvor. Col laborating with Keating wns Guy Cntlln. who died several years ago. " 'Anulo Rooney,' or 'Roso O'Orndy.' ho said this morning, 'would not find n snlo todny. nl thou thousands of copies wero sold when they mndo their appcaranco fifteen years ago. Tho whole busi ness of song writing 1ms changed; tho type of song has changed. Mel odies are becoming more and more complicated. Music is verging to ward tho classical, with tho hotter musical education of tho public. " 'As n business song writing Is nor what It used to be,' snld Mr. Keating. 'Competition among pub lishing houses and the snlo of so called popular priced music has made it n poor paying business. When songs sold for twenty-five cents n copy the author's royalty was five cents. Today the best writers receive one cent or less. There Is nothing In this talk of' hugo profits in song writing. Prir.o cutting on sheet music originally wns to unload mediocre, unsaleable stuff on tho market nnd onco cut they remained so. Song writing Is a business llko any other nnd tho writer should bo n specialist with a musical education. The hack writer has hurt tho business. Yes, 1 nm still writing n little.' ".Mr. Keating started song writing In 1891 for tho old Multnomah Club shows. Ho has written inoro tlmu 200 songs." WILL VISIT OM) IIOMF. .1. .T.
