tious musical venture.
For a number of weeks a large
chorus known as the Royal College of
Porpora Choral soe'ety and directed
by Prof. Charles O. Blakeslee has been
working to master the difficult
Mendelssohn compositions which have
given "El'Jah" recognition as one of
the choral masterpieces of the musi
cal world. Original'.? set for presen
tation December 12, it was necessary
to postpone the date until this month
because of Illness on the part of some
of the soloists.
In the beginning It was believed
that It would he necessary to employ
talent from Portland or some other
outside po'nt for one or two of the
solo parts, but as progress was made
In the work, it was discovered that
Pendleton possessed an ample num
ber of voca'ists of sufficient ability to
undertake the ambitious oratorio en

Accordingly, the list of soloists as
completed, includes J. E. Keefe, Jr.,
Frank Hayes, Mrs. J. S. Landers, Mrs.
J. R. Dickson, Mrs. J R. Dickson, Mrs.
Maud Gray Swingle and Richard
Mayberry. In addition the soloists,
together with Miss Fdna Zimmer
man alto, and Charles W. Melghan,
second bass, have formed a double
quartet for some of the beautiful
numbers, which has been pronounced
by several musicians the equal of any
similar organization in the state.
The list of patrons and patronesses
for the event includes Mr. and Mrs.
C. P. Bishop, Judge and Mrs. James
A. Fee, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Judd, Rev.
and Mrs Milnes, Rev. and Mrs.

east end this morning. When he al
ighted from the local train this mor

Routine Club Meeting.
Last night's meeting of the Com
mercial club proved but a routine af
fair. There was no important busi
ness to come before the gathering

night kept most of the members away.

convened long enough to pay the
monthly bills and transact other rou
tine business. ,

J. M. Abrams, business representa
tive of Frederick Thompson's "Polly
of the Circus" company Is in the city
today to make arrangements with

wondering how he is going to get the
six horses which the company carries
off and on the stage. He a'.ates there
are seven, regular circus people with
the show In order to give realism to
the circus scene.
COBBLER SHOP ENSHRINED.
Lynn, Mass. Set on wheels and
drawn by six mules, the little old cob
bler's shop where Samuel Winalow,
Sr., began making shoes started on a
Journey to Veverly. For more than
fifty years it has stood on Collins
street, and has recently been used aa
a storehouse. It has been bought by
Samuel Winslow, president of the
United Shoe Machine company, and
is to be placed in the grounds of his
home in memory of h's father. It

feet of the fleeing pan c-atrlcken bur

gave out and with a parting "Go It,
you son of a sea-cook," he gave up the
chase and returned sorrowfully to his
home. His fh rt, souked by the con
tents of the tub, was frozen to the
stiffness of a board, his whole body
was blue from the cold and "his feet

Icy earth. Still Penland thinks he did
a good night's work and ventures the
assertion that hereafter his p ace w ll

SNOW IN MOUNTAINS IS
DEEP HIT NOT TROUBLESOME
La Grande, Oregon, January ,3.
Several feet of snow In the moun
tains is not retarding train service on
the (0.-W. Trains from the oast are
running on late schedules but this is
because of the enormous snowfall and
extreme cold weather prevailing in
Montana, Colorado and other moun
tain states. The rotary has not been
called out on the local syste myet,
and this is probably due to the fact
that the snow is well packed and does
not shift with the winds. No drifting
to speak of has transpired anywhere.
The detachable snow plows or flange
on the branch line engines avert de
lay and trouble and the same meth
od is doing much to keep up train
service for ordinary snowfalls on the
main line systems.

MAKE YOU SLEEPY?
South Hadley, Mass. Mt. Holyoke
College girls were so sleepy and slug
gish at the recitations held at 2
o'clock every afternoon that the fac
ulty, long puzzled, decided to investl-
gate. It was finally reasoned that as
1 the girls become drowsy after lunch
eon the explanation must be sought in
the luncheon menu. It was, or at
least the professors think it was, It
1 was announced that when the girls
return mine pio and apple dumpling,
found to be the favorite luncheon
food will no longer be served.
Luncheons hereafter will consist of
fruit and other light edibles.
