Two master minds raised to the
heights of inspiration quickened the
world into a desire for better living with
what is called the music of Mendelssohn
and the poesy of Shakespeare. And in
addition, honor should attract to the
mind that conceived the blendlngs of
the masterpieces in muslo and drama as
tney were presented by the Ben ureet
players and the Russian Symphony or
chestra at the Heillg last night
Being a witness to the presentation
of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," with
its support of Mendelssohn's most won
derful compositions. Is more than a
treat; it is an experience. The sharpest
critics have never been able to find any
thing incomplete in the dramatic muse
of Shakespeare, nor in the musical com
positions of Mendelssohn thai they
should need be combined for any fur
ther meaning. The fact simply is that
we of less exalted thought than they,
find thus an easier Interpretation of the
composers' thought.
To the mind of the writer, none has
ever harmonized the human and divine
in music quite so well as Mendelssohn.
No matter what the composition the
deeper thought of Mendelssohn conveys
the great human yearning for the haf
understood, finer things of life. Iet the
music's fancy be playful or wild or
y.
one may follow through the valleys
of mingled discontent and pleasure up
into the greater heights whera the vi
sion of the Ideal becomes real. Other
composers have attained the heights,
but their theme has been cold as ice
or awful as thunder; Mendelssohn's is
thrilled through and through with the
warm earth notes Intermingling; the
human and the divine and .idealizing
the practical.
These were the suggestions of the or
chestra's music, the listener sitting just
where the sounds or the many instru
ments blended Into the wonderful spell
of harmony that helps one to put Into
definite thought the things which at
best have been only suggestions.
Then wltfi the music came the varied
phases of Shakespeare s muse; the com

They do not think he will build any
road into or across the state until
forced to do- so by actual construction
work on the part of a rival. The Eccles
road would seem to furnish the in
centive for the California feeder. It is
preparing to build a line through the
Blue mountain forest reserve, provid
ing the government will give the Ore
gon Lumber company, owned by Eccles,
permission to cut the mature timber In
the reserve. Plans have already been
made by this company. It is said, to
erect ten sawmills between Austin, the
present terminus of the road in Grant
county, and Burns, the county seat of
Harney county. The road would run
through this timber all the way to
within 14 miles of Burns. From Burns
southwest to Lakevlew and connection
with the Nevada, California & Oregon,
also a narrow gauge line, is easy rail
road building.

JEANNETTE WINS
FIGHT ON TOINTS
By Kid McCoy.
( Special Cable.)
Paris. May 22. The Ferguson
Jeannette fight tonight was a
tame affair. The audience showed
that thev thought it so by
a. Htnrm of hoots, hisses and cat
calls. The fight however, was on then
square. Both men showed a disposition
to end matters quickly, but neither knew
how. Justly enough Jeannette was given
the decision on points.
Ferguson's delivery was very awkward
and It was .evident from the second
round that Jeannette was playing for
points. In the fourth round, the negro
stuck his left In the Scotchman's eye
and Sandy landed a right to the negro's
teeth which caused them to chatter and
sent him to the floor. Not until the
twelfth round did Sandy show any in
clination to force matters. Then he
scored a good left and right, but the
negro scored two good lefts. Honors
were easy.
In the thirteenth Sandy hit Jeannette
on the Jaw and fell-a-top of him and
then refused to step back when ordered,
but Jeannette was up before the counting
was finished. In this way, with an oc
casional mix up the fight dragged on.
Jeannette showed stronger toward the
end, scoring rapidly and got the decision
on points at the end of 20 rounds. The
purse was J 6000.
