It. P. McClelland, Fred Spore and

Magnet to liaise Lust Steel.
Klamath Fals, Sept. 7. Several
hundred feet of steel pipe, a pump
and numerous other articles used In
drilling and pumping by the United
States Reclamation Service, now on
the bottom of Tule lake on the Ore-(ton-California
line south of here,
are soon to be raked by the service
by means of a powerful magnet. The
work of raising them will be super
vised by Engineer Shadier of the
Reclamation Service.
The articles were being used when
the Reclamation Service was drilling
in Tule lake with the hope of forcing
an outlet for the lake into the lava
beds, and in that way be able to
drain the lake and reclaim its area.
Hail Beats Grain Down.
Klamath Falls, Sept. 4. Accord
ing to Fred C. Collman, Btar route
carrier between this city and Swan,
Ore., IS miles east of here, three
and one-half Inches of rain fell in
20 minutes In Upper Swan Lake val
ley yesterday afternoon. Mr. Coll
man said he knew this because there
was an empty barrel by his house at
the time of the rain and that it con
tained that amount of water when
the downpour stopped.
Grain was knocked out of the
heads on to the ground by the heavy
hail which fell at the same time, and
Mr. Collman estimates that he lost
perhaps 200 bushels of grain in that
manner.
The rain and hall were confined
to a very small area at the upper
end of Swan Lake valley.
A house and lot on Vista street
belonging to the William Jones es

J. P. DODGE & SONS
Undertakers
State Licensed Emfealmer Lady Assistant
Deputy County Coroner
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)
Last Thursday evening furnished
unmistakably, one of the most Inter
esting occasions that has fallen to
the lot of vigorous "little Talent"
within tue "memory of man" to
use not an entirely hackneyed proc
lamation of an interesting fact
Chiefly through the strenuous and
well-directed efforts of Mrs. John H
Fuller and Miss Alice Vander Sluis,
a happy throng, not only of listeners
but of performers, hailing directly
from both Medford and Ashland, as
sembled in the M. E. church and
made the welkin ring in no uncet
tain fashion in the shape of a con
cert in which both quality and
quantity significantly asserted them
selves during the entire perform
ance. Ashland was represented
and most worthily represented by
Mrs. Henry T. Elmore and Mrs. A. L.
Strickland and, under the leadership
of the veteran George Andrews, Med
ford contributed its quota In the per
sons of Miss Florence Hazelrlgg (so
prano), Mrs. Isaacs (contralto), Mr.
Fletcher Fish (tenor) and Mr. Vaw
ter (baritone) known far and wide
for their uniformly excellent work
as a musical quartet, besides the in
spiring appearance of Mr. W. Carlton
Janes, the violinist, and the added
assistance of Mrs. G. Andrews and
Mrs. Janes as accompanists.
The menu muslcale consisted of a
dozen or more well-selected num
bers, and so thoroughly appreciative
was the audience that insistent en
cores became the order of the even
ing. Miss C. Vogeli, a promising
young artiste, made her appearance
both as a solo pianiBte and accom
panist, with a success well nigh phe
nomenal. She exhibited a well-de-
veloye technique, an intelligent com
prehension of what were Mr. Men-
elssohn able to be present would
be demanded of her in his Rondo
Capriccloso, and the contrast was
well marked between the andante In
the first movement and the presto
furioso (so to speak) in the second.
"The "Miller's Wooing" was splen
didly interpreted by the Medford
singers; an encore was graciously re
sponded to, and the "Barbara Friet
chie," declaimed with much dra
matic fervor by Mr. George Andrews
who has a baritone range extend
ing clear from cellar to roof evi
denced the possession of a voice rich
in mixed qualities, splendidly trained
and judiciously used as it would
appear at all times during his pro
fessional career. Along with Mr.
Andrews came another singer from
Medford in the person of Mr. Fletch
er Fish, who, with his sweet light
tenor voice, did admirably in Bart
lett's exceedingly melodious "A
Dream." He was vociferously en
cored and graciously responded with
a number equally "taking." Mr.
Janes, while he does not, perhaps,
draw a tone from the "fiddle de de"
the equal of a Fritz Krlstler, Is, nev
ertheless, a painstaking artist and a
capital teacher, and In his Wlenlaw
ski number he gave great pleasure
by his clean cut and exceedingly
melodious interpretation of an ex
acting theme. Mrs. Janes' accom
paniments added largely to the
unity and finish of a great musical
creation.
Of Miss Vander Sluis' performance
In the "Valse Trlste," by Sibelius,
and the Beethoven Minuet, with Mr.
Janes, It would be Impossible to
speak too highly of her work as an
aspiring musician, She Is thorough
ly in earnest, painstaking in all she
undertakes, and Is not likely to leave
the Oregon University, at Eugene
(which she ,1s soon to enter), with
out being able to give a good account
of herself. She secures popular ap
preciation wherever she goes, and
her services as an accredited corre
spondent of the Tidings attest her
capability of doing things and al
ways well besides making the vio
lin talk during sundry hours of the
day.
One of the most attractive features
of the concert was the debut In Tal
ent of Mrs. Henry T. Elmore, a new
comer from Augusta, Maine, and
whose residence amongst us can not
but be fraught with the utmost good
in the furtherance in the Rogue
River valley, and out of It, of all
that Is best in music. With .a. so
prano voice of by no means limited
range and trained by the best Bos
ton and European teachers, and a
fine discrimination of the propriety
of things musical, Mrs. Elmore is, in
her self, a tower of strength in any
vocation. If proper breath control,
singing with an open throat, with a
full mastery of llptual service, hav
ing a decent regard to correct pro
nunciation and enunciation, and
"telling the story" in a comprehen
sive and intelligent manner stand for
anything at all, then indeed the lady
from Augusta, Maine, and other
parts of the world's dominions, in
her travels, renders her a veritable
traveler, Indeed. In her Puccini
and other bracketed numbers, by
Clutsam, Franz and Spross, Mrs. El
more's performances were as fin
ished as they were soul-stirring to
her spellbound and appreciative lis
teners. Loud applause and Insistent
encores followed Mrs. Elmore's every
vocal effort.
Not a little of the artiste's success
during the evening was due to the
admirable accompaniments of Mrs.
Strickland, who possesses the dis
criminating good sense come what
may of never intruding her instru
ment into the lawful domain of the
vocalist whose singing she Is called
upon to sustain, and, with well-
trained digitals, to embellish. The
really first-class accompanist Is, the
world over, a rare bird indeed, and,
as such, refrains from seeking the
limelight to the discomfort of her
companion in song.
This article would .indeed, be in
complete if we omitted to state three
things: (1) The very capital sing
ing of the chorus choir In Plnsutl's
ever tuneful "Good Night, Good
Night, Beloved" under the skillful
leadership of Mrs. J. H. Fuller, who
stands ready at all tlmi to help for
ward every laudable undertaking In
Talent; (2) that the piano indebted
ness has been reduced by an array of
good honest dollars, and (3) that the
M. E. church In Talent is especially
blessed in having with a consecrat
ed helpmeet a spiritual overseer to
preside over its destinies in the per
son of the Rev. M. C. Reed, who
leaves no stone unturned calculated
to help forward the religious and so
cial betterment of the community.

Hunters Warned
To Be Careful
Forest Service Bulletin: Empha
sizing the destruction of property
and human life caused by careless
hunters, a warning issued by the
Forest Service urges all sportsmen
on the national forests to use the
greatest possible care to prevent for
est fires and to avoid such accidents
as caused the death of Forest Ranger
Clark on the Cabinet national forest
In Montana last year.
Mr. Clark was mistaken for a bear
by a careless hunter, who fired with
out waiting to be sure what he was
shooting at. To show that such ac
cidents are not uncommon, the warn
ing quotes an estimate of the Biolog
ical Survey that between 150 and
200 persons are annually killed in
hunting accidents in this country and
that this number Is increasing. Fur
thermore, It is stated that 15 per
cent of all the forest fires in the
national forests are caused by care
less hunters and other campers.

Mills May (lose For Lack of Freight
Cars.
Eugene, Sept. 5. "We will have
to close both of our mills If the car,
situation does not get any better,"
said A. C. Dixon, manager of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, last
night. "Lumber Is piling up and we
can find no place for it. At the
present time we are 116 cars short
of what we ought to have that is,
we have orders and the lumber on
hand to fill that many cars for im
mediate shipment."
There was a rumor on the streets
yesterday that the company had de
cided to close the Wendling mills at
once on account of the car shortage,
but Mr. Dixon said last night no or
ders have been given to that effect.
He said that the railroad company
officials tell him they are entirely
helpless In the matter and that they
are doing the best they can.
