The Benton County ' Flouring Mills are now closed down, and the probabilities are that they will do but little grinding between now and harvest.

Coacise History of the Evolatio of tie Syatpkoay Orchestra May Festival. The president of the W, V C U., Mr. Wallis Nash, has told in a most able, interesting: and enthusiastic lecture of the lives and works of such composers as will be represented by the ora I tonos tt be sung at Nthe coming; May Festival. It remains for bis sen to put in a plea for the recognition of the orchestra and the proposed orchestral concert. That the' choral work is to be most popular cannot be denied, tor who does not like to sing in a latfee chorus and to feel as a part of the combined wholi also lor the hearer. binging is more easily understood than any other form of music, for it saves the troubled personal analysis 'Isingof the arms and the man," as Virgil says,- and the words are a key to the emotion evoked. Singing-, too, is more analag ous to the human cry, ; and, as such, '- arouses a corresponding sympathy m the hearer. The so-called rag time appeals to a larger number of people than a sonata. Why? Because rhythm is the very foundation stone of all musical structure music has evolved from it. In Central Africa there are certain species of apes who "beat rhythmically on wooden obiects of different timbre" and the love of rhythm lives, as "many other actions of babies and drowning men, to link us to the past, -and the beat ing of a drum will alwaysmake our blood run the faster. Men were lovers of heroes be fore they were singers, and from the effort to express the emotions connected with or induced by deeds' of love and heroism, song arose. . As people gradually left their nomadic existence and assembled themselves together in cities the same influence is traced on their music the chorus was formed. Traced historically the chorus has been through the following stages: The ancient monody of the Egyptians, Greeks and early Christians; the cantus planus, the plain or even chant of Greg ory the Great: the ars organum the art of organating (singing in the 4th and 5th octave) of Hue- bald: the introduction or the measured time by Franco of Col- ogne m 1200; ana men tne poly phony, or combination of several voices singing different parts, of Palestrina and Bach. So, in our choral music the two elementary lactots are present rhythm and the verbal expression of emotion. The Symphonic Orchestra be- gins as our exponent 01 musical thought where the chorus ends. The chorus is composed of four treble, alto, tenor and bass. Let us look at the orcflestra. It is primarily composed of three distinct quartettes and each quar tette has four tone colors. The wood wind flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon; these are each dis tinct in tonal expression. The flute, soft, sweet, lore sick; the. oboe, gay, pastoral, calling up visions of shepherds and their flocks, an out of doors instrument; the clarinet, heroic, daring, no ble; the bassoon, humorous, jok ing, funny who can hear one without laughing. The bass; french horns, (gen erally a quartette of their own) trumpet, trombone and tuba. The strings; violins, violas, cel- os and basses, and to produce the proper effect the strings should at least double in number all other instruments combined. The tone color then, of the or chestra is capable of three times the amount of effect and expres- sion able to Be proaucea uy a chorus. To most of us, in our new West the hearing of a properly balanced orchestra, is an event to be looked torward to; an open ing of a new vista of mental and emotional expression and impres sion for abstract music begins where program music ends. How the melody or theme is bandied about from instrument to instrument, sow in the flutes, then in the strings, floating ike a shell upon a sea of harmo- nv ol the combined instruments. First in the original key, then in its most nearly related keys, in major, in minor, worked out, ex panded, contracted, inverted. How the symphony is built up of different themes and move ments, all distinct, but yet all connected bv a continuity of thought; the strongest son, the gentle loving daughter, the prac- tical joker,' the merry iignt hearted one, with all toe world before him, each different from the otaer, tbut all having the same strong family traits. And what are the principal works writ ten for the orchestras' The im mortal nine symphonies of Bee thoven represent the summum bonum. . Works .that rank with the dramas of Shakespeare; with the paintings of Raphael ; trith the sculptures of Angelo; with the generalship of Napoleon or with the statesmanship of Bis marck, works that will live as long as time goes on. " Each symphony representing a. snecial chase 01 thought and expression; some gay, some sad, some heroic, some pastoral each existing by itself and for itself: nothing conld be added, nothing substracted "each bearing in it self the splendor of grand and sad destinies" (Dante?). Should not an opportunity to hear such a work be -heralded: They, need no glamor of footlight popularity,; or the personal mag netism of a Paderewski Norordi ca. but the soul-stirring genius of the long dead Master-lives and will ever live . in the,; music he has written. In each perfor mance; he is born again; in each performance, he again shadows forth his long, hard-fought bat tle with Fate: his sorrows, his jokes, his triumphs, his life. W. GlFFORD NASH. A PRACTICAL SOLUTION. Bond the Conaty foi- $50,000 d set to Work in Earnest oa Oar Roads; There is no question which so fullv occupies the attention of the people of this county at the present time as that of county roads. Even politics seem to have lost their fascination, and the voice of the road master catches more ears than that of the aspiring candidate. That our roads are not of the best is an unfortunate condition; how to improve them is lost in a maze of theory. Our road supervisors have shown 'commendable interest in offering plans and methods of procedure, but there are good and sufficient objections to every thing suggested thus far. Agitation ot the matter :of bad roads is going to prove hurtful to the community, unless some adequate remedy, can' be supplied. The Gazette has been mindful of this fact, and has been silent until itcould of- er what it believes to be ,a tan gible solution. Let; us quit harping about the ' 'fearful con dition of our roads" which are j not so bad as strang'ers and dis-! tant peoples have been led to be- leve we all know they are. bad! enough, and devote our atten-j tiqn to "Good roads h$:w. to get them." ' - - Here is an idea which deserves development: There is . in( this county, at a rough i estimate, not to exceed 200 miles of much- traveled road. .There is a getv eral demand that it oe put 1 in first-class condition for . travel. The question is how best to do this quickly and economically; where to get the funds? Thanks to the careful .management .;of the present county court, Benton county is practically out of debt. The county can, therefore, sup ply all the cash necessary. An experienced engineer said," yes terday : ' 'Under proper manage; ment and the supervision of a com petent engineer, the roads of the county can be - put in splendid shape for. an average, cost of $250 per mile." -The cost of im proving 200 miles of road, then, would be in the neighborhood of $50,000. Let the county issue bonds for this amount, . making hem payable in five or ten years, or at the option of the court. By making them of small denomina tion, the greater portion ol this amount would be taken up by our own people at an interest of 4 per cent. By the time these bonds become due, we will have good roads and those who are getting the benefit of them will pay the bill. Another item not to be. overlooked, is that every acre of land bordering on these roads will be enhanced in value at from $2 to $5 per acre, and every product of the farm will yield a greater proht. . A few vears ago the county contracted an indebtedness of $80,000 to bnild a court house. All agree that this was a perfect- y proper thing to do, out the bonding of the county now for $50,000, or even $80,000, for improving our roads would be vastly more profitable and should be more highly popular. A. com petent engineer can De secured or $5 per day. He could di rect the work of improving the roads, which can be let by con tract to the lowest bidder, the court reserving the right to with hold payment until the work is sausiactory. The present 2 per cent tax would be sufficient to keep the roads in repair, besides improv ing bv-roads. The polisy com mon m older countries, of aaving roek and gravel piles at conveni ent places along the roads lor use in winter, if necessary, might well be adopted. We have attempted here only to outline ia acrude way a plan of procedure, which, we believe, will give us good roads' quickly, at a moderate cost, and in such a way that the burden will net all come at once, but be. distributed over a number of years. .We of- ler it Jot the consideration of the ; people of the county, and solicit opinions from all inter ested upon its merits.
