Mfc ANGEL When the Portland symphony orchestraconduct
ed bOie world famous Werner Janssen, comes to Mt. Angel Friday
night, March 11, to give a memorial concert in honor of Father Dom
inic Waedenschwyler in the school gymnasium on the hilltop, the
town wilt owe that honor to fcs moat illustrious citizen, whose musical
genius 'aspired the Portland conductor to do Mt. Angel this signal
Honor.
Father Dominic died almost 17
years ago but r is still a. well-remembered
personality to the
greater percentage of the town
folks, having been pastor here for
25 years.
. Father Dominic's music was a
part of the town; he composed
music for the church; he compos
ed songs for the school children;
he played .the organ, led the choir,
taught singing to the children in
school, conducted the secular
quartets, trios, etc.; played the
wedding marches and the funeral
dirges and in between he was a
14-hour pastor to his flock. He
treated them all with the same
kind consideration.
Born In Switzerland
Father Dominic was born Feb.
II, 1863, in Canton Thurgau,
Switzerland, as Paul Waedensch
wyler, the youngest of the six
children of the village schoolmas
ter and organist His father was
his first music teacher and later
the 'boy continued his studies at
the abbey school of Engelberg.
His family wanted him to make
the most of his talents and choose
music as his career, but despite
til the urging, he entered the age
Id Benedictine monastery at En-
felberg in 1883 at the age of 28.
Im was ordained to the priesthood
tour years later. The same year,
1887, he was sent to. Oregon to
help in the newly-established
monastery at Mt -Angel.

rector of the Mt. Angel seminary
fend later held the offices of rector
fef Mt Angel. college and novice
Boaster of the. seminary
Bent to Europe la 1996
The year 1900 marked an im-
Ertant event in Father Dominic's
e. He was sent to Europe to stu
dy music at the Berlin conserva-
gry. His teacher was Zngelbert
umperdinck, a puoil of Wagner
and the composer of the opera,
Hansel and G ret el. Father Domin
ie's "Beautiful Willamette," com
posed three years earlier, aroused
faumperdinck's interest and en
couragement and let to the com
posing of "Call Of the West- pd
Nature's Morning Hymn." Both
.were written in Berlin.
He was graduated with : hon-
Cs from the conservatory- in
07 and then toured Europe. For
a short period he studied church
Eusic on the Isle of Wight under
m Mooquerau, the founder of
Solesmes school of plain chant,
and then returned to Mt Angel.
He was appointed pastor of Mt
'Angel in 1910. Trie beautiful St
Vary's Church- was completed un

Among Hither Dominic's better
known works are "Haec ' Dies,"
Missa Solemnis" and "Japanese
Lullaby," dedicated and first sung
by Madame. Schumann - Heink.
Father Dominic had many friends
among the musical- great and Ma
dame Schumann - Heink was a
special friend who .visited him at
lit. Angel a number of times.
Broken in health by his strenu
ous activities, he retired to the
monastery in 1931 where he died
April 1, 1932. ; -
His "Call of the West!, was first
presented by the Portland Symphony-
orchestra in Portland In
1914 under George-E. Jeffrey and
again in 1931 by the Portland Jun
ior symphony. His "Ecce Quam
Bonum" . was : performed in the
White HoUse In Washington, D. C
an Christmas eve in lf1.

PubKc Welfare
Hearing Set
Tuesday Night
A public hearing on - the pro
posed $50 minimum old-age pen
sion bill next Tuesday night is ex
pected to steal much of the thun
der from formal sessions of the
Oregon legislature.
The hearing, called by the house
committee on social welfare, will
start at 7 pan. in the house of
representatives chambers. It will
be limited to consideration of the
pension bill (house bill 436) and
is not expected to include riisnts
sion of other measures which
would place state liens on pen
sioners, property. Committee
Chairman Joseph Harvey said.
An attempt in committee to in
clude in the main bill a provi
sion barring such liens was- de
feated Saturday.
The measure to be studied, as
different from the so-called
Eagles bill from which it grew,
leaves welfare under the state
commission, instead of it being
under a single director, and sets
the eligibility age for women at
65, instead of 60. -The changes
were made to insure the continued
flow of federal funds, sponsors
of the amended measure say
, The bill as now constituted also
makes no provisions for srnings
whatever recipients earn, or re
ceive from other sources being de
ductible from asssitance checks.
The measure is more liberal in
some other instances, however. It
allows a recipient of aid to have
$500 in cash, an insurance policy
of up to $1000 cash value, and
a $1000 car without deductions.
The former proposal would have
allowed $250 In cash, $500 in In
surance and a $750 car.
The house voted Saturday to
allow the use of its chambers for
the hearing so long aa only the
galleries were used for spectators.
Unauthorized persons will not be
allowed at 'the desks of members.
Referendum on
Housing Sought
Recommendation that the peo
ple be given a cnance to vote on
whether they want housing fi
nanced through state bonds came
from the legislative committee on
housing Saturday. The committee
also proposed laws to encourage
building of homes and that cities
get state-aid from the state for
such purpose.
The committee included Reps.
Harvey Wells and Phil Dreyer and
Sens. Thomas Mahoney and Jack
Lynch, all of Portland, and Rep.
Earl McNutt, Eugene.
SALARY BILLS PASS
Bills Increasing the salaries of
county-officers of. Tillamook, Clat
top, lfcCKl lUver.. Croolc andXol
ujnU counties -were tsassed-br the
house "and sent -to the senate for
further action Saturday. .
Repeal of Excise
Transportation
Passes Senate
A memorial asking congress to
repeal the wartime federal excise
tax on transportation was adopted
in the senate Saturday and sent to
the house.
It requests repeal of the? 15 per
cent tax on passenger fares : and
the S per cent levy on freight and
shipments.
Sen. Dean Walker, Independ
ence, said the freight tax is plac
ing an undue hardship on western
shippers sending goods to eastern
markets.
State Asked
To Help with
Tideland Fight
Oregon should join other states
in opposing the federal govern
ment's attempt to take over tide
lands. Attorney General George
Neuner told the joint legislative
ways and means committee Satur
day in asking a $10,000 appropri
ation to take part in court suits
and congressional action.
Rex Kimmell, assistant attorney
general, said the federal govern
ment was seeking title to tidelands
totalling 1510 square miles, extend
ing up the Columbia to Bonneville
dam and possibly even including
Portland docks. He said Gov. Dou
glas McKay also wanted to contest
the Issue.
All lands affected by tides are
sought by the federal government;
Kimmell said. The attorney gener
al of Texas is leading the move
to get congressional action reserv
ing tidelands for the states.
Vets' Preference
Passed in Senate
A measure to give veterans pre
ference in state examinations for
departmental promotions as well
as in initial employment tests was
passed in the senate Saturday and
sent to the governor.
The new law repeals the 1945
act which extends a 5 per cent
preference to veterans taking ex
aminations for state jobs. The
measure is backed by veteran's
organizations.
School Bus Bond
Plan Approved
A bill to allow newly formed
school districts to issue bonds to
buy school buses was passed In
the senate Saturday and sent to
the governor.
Under the present law new con
solidated districts are not permit
ted to issue special bonds to buy
buses until the next regular school
district election. Sponsors of the
bill said the existing restriction
leaves the new . districts without
necessary transportations facili

Rogue Power
Battle Draws
Large Crowd
The state affairs committee of
the house has plenty of words to
consider on the proposal to per
mit construction of the $90,000,000
irrigataon-power-flood control
project on the Rogue river.
Nearly 200 residents of Jose
phine and Jackson county at
tended a public hearing on the
question Friday night. The issue
is whether to remove the dead
line for dams eight miles down
stream to make possible construc
tion of Lewis dam which is re
garded as the key structure of the
proposed U.S. bureau of reclam
ation project.
Most of the opposition came
from fishermen who contended
the dam would destroy fishing.
They also said power could better
be developed on other streams and
that the area wasn't worth irri
gating anyway.
The opponents included the
state game and fish commissions;
ranchers who contended the re
sultant lake would inundate their
homes, and representatives of the
Oregon Wildlife federation and
the Izaak Walton league.
Proponents included County
Judge W. A. Johnson of Grants
Pass who said the project would
add 1000 new farms and reduce
the $250,000 annual flood bill.
County Ckmmissioner Robert Ly
tic of Jackson county declared
the Rogue valley needs indus
try and wa are very short
of water." Organized labor was
declared in favor of the project,
as was State Grange Master Mor
ton Tompkins. -
Senate Approves
Non-Partisan Vote
For Assessors
A bill providing for non-partisan
nomination of county tax assessors
was approved in the senate Satur
day and sent to the house,
The measure is a move by the
Mill Creek Fish
BUI Tabled by
House Committee
The proposal to set aside Mm
Creek fishing for persons under
IS years old was tabled Friday, at
least temporarily, by the house
game committee.
Members said they had received
numerous protests from persons
owning propel t j along the creek,
and that thus far it had not been
determined whether the proposed
bill could be made constitutional
if it gave rights to property own
ers and barred everyone else over
the age limit It was deemed pos
sible, too, that property ownets
would not even be affected by
the measure.
Rep. Douglas Yeater, commit
tee member, laid Saturday he
would attempt to have the legal
point : decided, and that ft was
possible the committee later might
vote to reconsider its motion ta
bling the bin.
Marriage Validation
Measure Introduced
A bill to validate illegal mar
riages entered into by Oregon re
sidents during the past two years
was introduced in the senate Sat
urday. The measure Is the usual correc
tive act to legalize marriages of
persons who married outside of
Oregon before their six -month
waiting period expired.
state tax commission to take as
sessors offices out of politics. The
commission believes the offices
would be more efficient if esses
sors owe no political obligations.
If approved in the house the bd
would place assessors on the same
status as candidates for judgeships.
If an stsessnr received a two-thirds
majority in a primary election he
would be automatically elected: In
case of no majority in the prim
aries, the two candidates receiving
the highest number of votes would
run in the general election.
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, Port
land, opposing the measure on the
floor, notified the senate he will
move for reconsideration of the
favorable vote Monday.
