She studied with George Hen schel in New Tork. who ranks, among- the foremast voice instructors of the day. and also with Francis Stewart of New Torn. When she! went to Chioago some years ago she created a stir. She waa engaged by the Slayton Bureau of Chi- cago for a concert tour through the win ter and by the Chautauquan society for th summer. Poor health forced her to give up the engagements and later she came to the coast for the benefits of .climate.

A year and a halt ago th Orlental- Amerlean company, after its manager bad made a trip through Japan, secured the local and coast agenoy for the "Annuo" cement manufactured In Toklo. This cement had the indorsement of the Japanese and Russian government, and for 10 years had been the chief oriental oement used In fortification work. After this record it waa brought to America, and In the government office her was given exhaustive tests to determine whether it was as good as pronounced by eastern officials. The result of the government tests here showed that the "Aaano" cement at the end of three days stood an average breaking teat of 411.6 pounds.. which was satisfactory.. At the end of seven days, however, the cement tested aa average of 440.1 pounds, and at the end of II days it tested 877 pounda There are many European ce ments, according to local contractors, that test higher than this Japanese ce ment for three days, some test higher at the end of aeven days, but few stand the .'28-day test as well. The longer the test the better the cement is a maxim in use among government contractors. aqd when at the end of six months and a year the "'Asano", cement showed sn ever-increasing tenacity and with- each month tested higher it was recognised as being In tb class with the best ce ments previously known.

The petition tor the incorporation of Oreaham was actively opposed, ana arguments pro and con were heard, by the county court -Several cltlsen de clared that If the town were incorpor ated as proposed their farms would lie partly inside th city Umlte. Tb mat ter wa compromised by. changing the beundariea of. the proposed municipal corporation. At a meeting held a few evenings ago at Oreaham a ticket was placed in the field. It Is asserted that the meeting waa adjourned by a previously arranged plan, without making nominations, and that afterward several cltisens returned and put up a ticket By following thla method, it la claimed, all chances of those whom the political lights desired nominated being defeated was avoided. When the others who were present be fore adjournment took place heard of this, they decided to call a meeting, and make nominations . In opposition. Thin meeting waa held last night but th cer tificates of nomination hav not yet been filed with County Clerk Fields.

It Is Interesting to note what Colonel Ivanhoff. inspector-general of harbor eonatruction at Vladivostok, said about this Japanese cement 14 years ago when Russia and Japan were friends: "The ce ment not only came up, to the require ments of the standard tests laid down by the publlo works department but also proved itself to possess tha. most excellent analltr."

This conclusion was reached after eon slderabls discussion. The -proposal .was mad by Mr. Wakefield, himself, who stated that he had carried out. ail the terms of the contract and that h ought to be paid. He explained that sine th Port of Portland had been operating the dock and by mean of It war seeking and securing business, he believed that th commission ought to tak formal possession and relieve him ot any fur ther anxiety a to it welfare. Excepting DrlscolL nearly all - the other member of th commission took th same view as th contractor, - Mr. Drleooll said he waa not In favor of paying another farthing to the builder until it had been conclusively shown that tha dock was all that has been claimed tor It He maintained that, ao- coraing to tho terms or the contract Mr. Wakefield should be required to secure vessel of sufficient capacity to. give the dock a thorough test When he did this ho would be In favor of paying the contractor, provided th dock stood th test By motion it waa finally decided to ac cept Mis Wakefield' proposition, Prior to the dlsousslon th contractor was allowed the final payment of 11,111.71 for preparing the berth for th drydock.
