Murtagh Given First Place in Song Contest ; . By EsjB 'Essa : Pnwidentof the Society of Oregon Coaapoaea. fTE movement is at present being fos X tered to present Oregon goods to the world, so the Society of Oregon Composers believed it a fitting mo ment to discover a state song. - Under the auspices of this society a. contest was . held first to find the proper words and incidentally to see how Oregon rated poetically. . More than 200 poems were submit ted,' many of . them Quite worthy, and after due deliberation three were se lected as the best. These were sub mitted , to the composers of the state and a large number of compositions were received. At a luncheon at the Benson hotel -Wednesday. . June 9, the Oregon composers announced the win ning ; song. It is with great pleasure that the many admirers of Henry B. Murtagh learned that he was the suc cessful winner, ut of four best songs selected, the first and third were by Mr. Murtagh, the second by Miss Floy A. Rossman. and the fourth by George D. Ingram. Mr, Murtagh, for. the prise winning song, employed the poem by J. A. Buchanaa of Astoria, and for his other song had the words of Mrs. L. A. Henderson. Miss Rossman wrote to the words of Mr. Buchanan. - and so had Mr, Ingram. Mr. Murtagh. has for several . years been enlarging his list of friends by bis work at the Liberty theatre., and he has done much', to In crease the love of music, both classical and light. Possibly his understanding of . the popular :. taste . enabled him . to give us this' song a song for every body ' to sir)g and the day will come soon when the citizens of .Oregon ""will1 cheer wildly -when we hear the strains of Murtagh' s -'"Oregon, " My Oregon." Hats off to the composer, and hats off to the poet, and many cheers for "Ore gon. Our Oregon" J A These i two -men have " builded their own - monument ' before their departure to thn unknown.' and they - have done a great thing for their country. . Miss Laura L.
