A TREASURY OF GILBERT AND
SUIXIVAN," edited by Deems Ty
' lor, arrangement by Albert Sirmay,
, Illustrations by Lucille Corcos; (Si

I think it was Gerald W. John
son of the Baltimore Sun who
said that what America needs
most sorely is more bad music
by. which he meant more people
playing lor their own astonish
ment, and fewer listening to
canned music, Mr. Johnson is not
crusading, but if he were he
. would have a powerful weapon
fresh to his hand, beginning to
' day.
II Operettas Included
: Tor today "A Treasury of Gil-
bert and Sullivan" is published
,r-a nice, thick book containing
102 songs from 11 of the immortal
operettas. Containing, also, a de
lectable introduction by Deems
Taylor, short essays by the same
authority introducing each of the
operettas, short synopses of the
plots which set each of the songs
printed into their proper niche,
and some diverting illustrations
by Lucille Corcos. The new
Treasury" is published with an
astounding advance sale of 60,000
which ought to lay for all time
the odd conceit of publishers that
books of or- about music do not
sell. Good books of and about mu
sic do sell, and hugely.
Arranging Good
Mr. Taylor's contribution to this
newcomer Is considerable, yet I
am sure he would .agree that it is
, relatively much less than Dr. Al
bert Sirmay's. For Dr. Sirmay
i made the 102 arrangements, and
because of the peculiar way in
which Sullivan produced his mu
eic this is a chore of vast diffi
ulty. Sullivan wrote down, quite
often, only the tunes up to re-.-
f hearsal time, and he or another
pianist "faked" accompaniments
as rehearsals went, on, business
- was invented, and the whole work
; look shape. This was good for the
spontaneity of the show, and bad
for posterity. It usually meant
I that Sullivan left making arrange
ments for . piano to some convenient-hack,
and these are al
most always bad.
Ease at Playing Noted
Dr. Sirmay has made his almost
always good. They can be played
; even by one with a technique as
raddled as mine. They "sound,"
and yet they are hardly more
heavy-handed than the familiar
ones. And Dr." Sirmay has not
felt obliged to

but due to insufficient funds
the plans to build the road was
again frustrated.
Work on the road was finally
1890 when WilsQn
River Boom-Toll Road and Im-
provement company was incor
porated. Articles of incorpora
tion filed on March 4th of that
year show that the company was
composed of W. S. Runyon,
George Runyon and Claude Thay
er. . Capitalization was $200,000
with shares at $100 each. .
In 1891 the road, a single
track dirt road was built from
the edge of the coastal plain,
five miles east of Tillamook to
the mouth of Jordan creek, a
distance of 14 miles.

1893 during the administration
of Grover Cleveland caught
them short and forced them Into
bankruptcy thus leaving the toll
road an orphan, dumped into
the lap of the Tillamook county
commissioners.
At length it was leased to the
McNamer brothers, John C, The
odore and Con, who ran daily sta
ges between Forest Grove and
Tillamook. Up until 1897 they
used the facilities of the home of
Walt Smith as a relay station.

mules he had purchased from
"Dundee" Reed, a railroad con
tractor, went to Skagway, and
later to Dawson, Yukon Territory.

built and maintained the relay

groceries the average housewife
In the capital city has not
enough to last more than two er
three days, with the exception
of canned fruit This discovery
was the biggest surprise met
during the entire study of the
question, according to Dr. Hen
ry E. Morris,, head of the de
fense council's necessities divi
sion. Declaring that "this, in our
opinion, is a very close margin,
in fact, too close to face the Man
ger that might exist" Morris has
issued a request, directed partic
ularly to homemakers in urban
areas of the county: "
By slow degrees, during the
next two or three months, will
they accumulate sufficient food
staples to last a week or ten days?
Stocking of much more might not
be wise, and surely any attempt
at rapid building up of home food
reserves would create a problem
merchants could not well meet,
Morris maintains.
For most Salem grocery re
tailers do not attempt to carry
stocks of staples to meet more
than two-weeks' needs, accord
ing to survey findings.
By careful, slow buying, the
housewife may discover thj she
is saving her grocery budget from
the immediate inroads of rapidly
rising prices and that she is able
to adjust her buying so that she
is prepared for increases by the
time they have gone into effect
The much-talked, and evi
dently little-practiced, mainte
nance of an emergency shelf
would thus be stretched to In
clude supplies of staple every
day foods Instead of merely
enough for one hastily-prepared
meat Thinking housewives
know of the convenience, and
home economists continue to
preach of the thrift of having
on hand such foods as the new
inexpensive varieties of tinned
meats, dried fruits, canned veg
etables, cheese, rice, macaroni,
flour and sugar in generous
quantities.
- Pantry shelves so filled would
not only mean greater security for
the family in time of possible
emergency, but should aid in
planning and serving balanced,
pleasing and less expensive meals,
declare members of Dr. Morris'
staff.
But under no circumstances, the
food preparedness division urges,
should purchase of large quan
tities of staples be made on one
shopping tour.
One large store in Salem av
erages a turnover daily of ap
proximately 150 leaves of bread,
approximately six cases of ce
reals, ten sacks of flour, eight
100-pound sacks of sugar, two
cases ef salt, two cases ef syrup,
10 sacks of potatoes, 250 pounds '
of fresh meats, seven eases of
. canned meats, . 20 eases ef
canned vegetables, six cases ef
canned . fruits, eight , cases ef
canned milk, 20 pounds of dried
fruits, 50 pounds of dried, beans,
- 20 pounds ef macaroni and two
eases ef cleaning solutions.
A two-weeks' supply of most
of these staples is stocked by most
of these stores, with the exception
of bread which is replenished
daily, and salt potatoes and meat
stocked only a week in advance,
according to Morris. -
Should a fair percentage of the
customers of several such stores
decide to fill ten-day emergency
shelves with- one telephone or
personal shopping call, a definite
food shortage might result with
consequent -price rises, the food
division in its report to the county

Rose Culture Queries iinswered
Neic Varieties Obtained in Two Ways
By T.TT.TiTE L. MADSEN
Sometime ago the garden col
umn was devoted to varieties of
roses to choose this fall. Since
thn manr nitM.
1 1 u ii i . on rose
culture have
come in and a
number of these
will be answered
in this article.
There are only
two .ways of ob
taining new
varieties In
roses. Those of
you who write
that your roses
are reverting to
type, or that
LOU MldMB
your roses are reverting to type,
or that new varieties are "sprout
ing, up from the roots" , had best
pull out, the suckers, for that is
what they are. Such root-shoots
are starts from the root stock
upon which your "roses are graft
ed.; , . . , ' ;
, TYou only obtain new varieties
by ; cross pollination or by bud
variation. In the former method
about one rose in 100,000 proves
worthy, of keeping. If you are a
gambler . at heart, you will find
interest in taking a shot for the
one. Bud variation, more com-'
monly called a sport, is some
thing over which the grower has
no controL .
-. lf you find a pink bad bloom
ing' out en" a red' er a yellow
bush, yon may hare something
worth looking Into.
You may propagate by cuttings
(or by grafting budclmg). One of
the : easiest -ways - to - grow- your
own-root roses Is to take an eight
or ten-inch ; cutting toward the
base " of " growth in November or
early December (even cuttings In
February or March prove success
ful frequently), place' the cutting
where , the drainage is good and
by spring the base should be cal
loused. Plant it - where it may
grow undisturbed for a year; shift
it then for another year's growth
and - you have a good . two-year-old
bush. But commercial growers
(r
tell us that only about 30 per cent
of all roses are vigorous enough
to grow well, on their own roots.
For own-root bushes, choose the
most vigorous varieties.
. Budding is done In June, Just
before the cells tixhteu te hold
the bark.' Slit a T-shape near
the base of your manettl stock
and Insert the bud. It should
stick within tea: days but will
not start growing until the fol
lowing Aprtt. When it does, cut
the top off the eld brier.
. In planting, some advise putting
the bud Joint an inch beneath
the surface of the ground. Others
are now advising placing the bud
above ground. If you have pur
chased from a grower who knows
what it is all about your bushes
will be properly pruned. If not
it might be wise to cut off some
of the longer, canes so that the
wind will not whip your bush
around during the winter, and thus
permit the' roots to dry out
. Your real pruning comes in late
February or early March.
. In using fertilizer, ; you might
incorporate some steamed bone
.meal Into the planting soft If you
. use barnyard manure it is best to
let it compost for 18 months. Peat
moss, of cottonseed meal is also
good when worked into the son
at planting time.; . .
- Never cultivate your roses i
; deeper than two Inches; yea
may cut off the feeder roots.
. , Select a planting place that has
plenty of sun at least ail fore
noon. Air circulation . should be
good also. In this country where
rose bushes really grow to good
- sizes, give them plenty of room
for summer growth. Jt, you plant
them from two to three feet apart
you will not have the difficulty
.with diseases that you will if you
plant them 18 inches apart as the
eastern growers frequently advise.
Tea, hybrid perpetuals er by
"brld tea -roses . should not be
;sed as specimens. Make a rose ;
garden, using I either a single
row r a six-foot wide bed sad ,

the formal garden where an arch
itectural note need be struck, says
Prot Arthur Peck, ' landscape
architect instructor at Oregon
State college. Their effectiveness,
Peck adds, is frequently lost by
their Inclusion In beds of other
roses where informal plantings
are used. ; ..v- r
