Tlia Piano Recital.
Lst Thursday evening, .-Mor-dauut
Goodnough, director of
the department of music at the
O A C, gave a pupils' recital. A
good-sized audience greeted the
young people when they assem
bled in the chapel. Although
there are about forty pupils en
rolled in this department, but
A.
twelve appeared on the program
Promptly at the appointed hour
the exercises began. The pro
gram consisted of piano numbers
by various well-known compo
sers, even including Chop'in and
Brahms. The program was ren
dered with a great degree of con
fidence on the part of the pupils
and during the entire recital no
blunders were made, which is
somewhat unusual when it is un
derstood that everyone of the pu
pils was new to the concert
stage. The audience proved ap
preciative and they were liberal
and impartial with their ap
plause. Mr. Goodnough has
been in charge of the department
but three - months and he has
every right to be pleased with
the performance of his pupils.
He, as well as the pupils are to
be congratulated.
Miss Mabel Cronise, vocalist,
assisted Mr. Goodnough by sing
ing two numbers. Her numbers
were, "Come Jesus Redeemer"
and "Nach Sevilla," and she was
heartily encored, responding to a
recall on one number. She was
in splendid voice that evening
and fully upheld the reputation
she has gained as a vocalist. She
has a sweet voice of unusual
range and technique.
While all of the pupils acquit
ted themselves in the most cred
itable manner, special mention
is due the playing of Mr. White,
Alpha Murray and little Miss
Pearl Horner. The little miss,
if she continues to do as gcodj
work in the future as she has in j
the past, will develop into a pi
aniste of yreat merit. - i
In conclusion, we cannot re- j
frain from rebuking those wl:o
were so iguoraut, ill-mannered
and ill-bred as to chatter and
oirrrrle' during the rendition of
& a ..... , rr .1 .
several or me numo:rs. ii rue
disturbance was made in a spirit
ot pure "cusscdness" the perpe
trators should be bastinadoed.
But if, on the other hand, the
party or parties, guilty of this of- j
lense, are so ignorant as to know
no better, it is hard to define a
remedy, but to be on the safe
side, they might stay at home j
next time.
Prof. McKay Visits O. A. C.
Professor G. L. McKay, head of the
dairy department of the state agricultur
al college- of Iowa, who came to Oregon
to attend the Oregon Farmers' Congress,
was a vieitor to the Agricultural College
at this city last week. He was greatly
pleased with the work he saw at the ex
periment station.
Professor McKay was appointed a
special dairy expert by the United States
Department of Agriculture ta visit Eu
ropean countries in 1900 and study the
conditions of the d,iiry industry. He
visited Holland, Belgium, Denmark,
Germany and England, and made a full
report of his observations to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. His knowledge of
the subject as gained by his studies ia
this country and his special investigation j
in Europe make him an authority unsur
passed by none on this subject.
The absence of extremes of tempera
ture Professor McKay considers a very
great advantage in this state, for obvious
reasons. As one consequence of the very
favorable climatic conditions, the season
is very long during which green feed may
be had, and the ' quantity of forage
plants that may be grown on an acre of
ground is probably surpassed nowhere
else. The climate, Professor McKay
says, is much like that of Holland, and
it has been determined that climate has
much to do with the flavor of cheese.
Tho same conditions which give Holland
cheese and the Oanadian cheddar cheese
their excellent flavor should also make
Oregon cheese equal to them in this re
spect. The fact that peas and barley make an
excellent crop in Oregon leads Professor
McKay to lhe conclusion that bacon pork
can be produced here with great success.
Speaking on the subject, he said :
"Thore 13 r.o question ia my mind but
that dairy products and bacou pork can
j be p reduced in Oregon cheaper than i.i
any other country in the world. I am
deeply impressed with tho outlook for
these industries in this state, favored as
it is by the wonderful advantages of cli
mate and feed production."
The corn-fed pork is no longer counted
the best in the u:arket, for that produced
by a feed of peas and barley brings a
cent a pound more i-i the Eastern mar
kets. This feed gives the desired "streak
o' fat and streak o' lean," which makes
the best bacon. With the development
of dairying, which is now certain, and
the abundance of good hog feed other
thau the f-kim milk, Professor McKay
thinks that the production of pork should
increase rapidly until Oregon supplies
not only her own markets, ' but aiao the
markets of other Coast States and Alas
ka. Tiie market for both dairy products
and pork products Professor McKav con
siders practically unlimited. Just before
he left "Wash igtoa "recently he hada
conversation with Secretary Wilson, ef
the Department of Agriculture, ia which
the latter said that' the coast states can
find a market across the Pacific for all
their surplus dairy products. ' .
"Oregon Literature.
"We ara in receipt of a copy of "Oregon
Literature," from the publishers; J. K.
Gill & -Co , of Portland, which we are
asked to review. John B., Horner,' A,
M , Lilt. D. , professor of history and lat
in in the State Agricultural College of
Oregon, ia the compiler. Tha edition is
just from the pressland is the second and
larger volume, under the same titta by
Professor Horner. It contains 253 pages,
is neatly and substantially hoand, and
the paper used is of excellent quality.
Numerous half-tones serve to illustrate
and embellish the context. They in
clude a group of the five pioneer college
and university presidents B. L, Arnold,
Sidney H. Marsh, T. F. Campbell, Thoa.
M. Gatch and John W. Johnson; like
nesses of authors, orators and journalists,
who, in the opinion of the compiler, de
serve a place in a work on literature, and
upon whom Oregon has a claim.
Various bits of Oregon scenery add to
the attractiveness of the volume. Much
tasle has been displayed in the selection
and arrangement of the half-tones illus
trating Simpson's "Beautiful "Willam'
ette," making this the feature of the
book.
Professor Horner has proved himself
an assiduous compiler, and one muet ad
mire the energy, enterprise and indostry
he has displayed in collecting the data
contained in his little book, but in "se
lecting nuggets mid6t a Klondyke of
literary gems," it is evident that he has
mistakenjhe boundaries of his claim in
some instants; and his desire to over
look no specimen of whatever value is
responsible, no doubt, for the presence
of considerable mica. We- find the title,
"Oregon Literature," therefore, a misno
mer. Much matter in the compilation ia
not literature, and many of the writers
quoted can not be claimed by Oregon.
Professor Horner is of a too-sympathetic
disposition to select "judiciously and se
verely" where the literary efforts of hia
friends are appealing for recognition.
He has given U3 a readable little book,
and much that i& contains posterity will
not williDgly let die, bat he has not suc
ceeded in lidding us of the conviction
that Oregon is too young to have a liter
ature distinctly her own, or of the bs
lief that she has produced more, than
t'ireo or four writers who3e efforts are
worthy of serious cousideratioa.
