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.
