THE MUSICAL ItEClTA L.
A Crowded House Greets Miss Kthel
Havninod. 9
Lust night the opera bouse was crowded
to overflowing in response to the an
nouncement that Mis Ethel Raymond
would make her musical debut in our
little oity. Reserved Bents for this musi
cal event were filled with entbus'-
aatia lovers of music, and at the con
clusion of the program all were unani
mous in pronouncing it a thoroughly eo-
j jy able treat, never exojllet iu the his
tory of Heppner's entertainments.
The opening number, a piano duet'
'Dragoon Fighters," by Mrs. Sreeves
and Miss Matlook, wus enthusiastically
received. Miss Raymond followed with
a aong entitled "O, Promise Mo," with
Mrs. Bartholomew as aocompuniat. Her
presenile was the signs! for so outburst
of applause, to which the charming
lady responded with a bright smile ol
appreciation. Tbe harmony and strength
of her exceptional voice iu th's delight
ful pieoe simply carried her listeners
away, and as she retired ull were con
scious of baviug listened tooie who
will, bejoud a doubt, entertain audi
ences of the musical oenters of tbe
world.
Miss Julia Hart wai next on the pro-
giain with the piano solo, "Old Folks at
Home," wbiob she rendered, as one only
can who is a graduate of Boston's world-
renowned conservatory of music. By
request Miss Raymond sang "He Was a
Priooe," wbiob prompted so encore, to
which she responded with that sweet
plantation melody, "My Old Kentucky
Home."
Ad intermission of a few minutes gave
Representative Freeland a chance
to make a few remarks, offering aod op
portunity to secure Miss Raymond's
training io voioe culture daring her
three months' sojourn io Qeppoer.
"Madrieune" was then song by Miss
Welch, io her sweet voice. A piano
solo, by Miss Sleeves, was delightfully
rendered, promoting an euoore, to whiob
she made response.
Miss Raymond then concluded the en-
tainmeut witb ' Love's Philosophy,'' aod
an operutio election entitled "Geaone d'
Aic," wbicb enabled tier to disclose tbe
full volume aod range f her exceptional
voice.
In Miss Raymond Heppner has an in
structress to be appreciated, and those
who have au ambition for vnioe culture
will not lose this opportunity.
Tbe lady is decidedly sinoere in pro
nouncing .Mrs. Hurb Bartholomew an
aooompam it second to very few pro
fessionals. Tbe proceeds of this delight
ful entertainment go to swelling tbe
volumes of books for the public school
library. Tbe public will anxiously
await a repetition of this mtisioal treat.
Harbingri ot Spring.
Tbat spring has come and to stay my
be a wild prediotno at this time, but
we ootioe that the robins have sgnin
arrived in oar midst, and they generally
wait nntil winter's oold blasts have
parsed before they venture here. Fruit
trees are badding, aud everthing iiow
points to an early spring.

Big Dealer VIhIU Pendleton, bnt Receives
Little Encouragement.
Pendleton Republican.
A notable obaraoter in ths person of
"Patsy" Hailey, of Otfden, Utah, was a
visitor in Ibis city during tbe early part
of the week. He was looking, be said,
(or a few head of sheep. Ha wanted to
buy about 25,090 head. "Patsy," as bis
friends oall him, owns a few small bands
if sheep in Idaho, Colorado aad Wyo

uead. O. O. Cunningham, of this oity,
iho owns a ''few head himself," as be
puts it 13,000 or 14.C00 head-enter-Uiued
his friend "Patsy" while here.
VIr. Iluiley is a typical Irishman, and
bilo he modestly admits being theMa
lividual owner of perhaps more sheep
than any other dealer in the west, be
sakes a good deal of pride io reoalliug
inoidents in bis early youtb when a
lare footed boy he paoked bog aod
ilruggled against adversity. But ability
to work hard in a physical wsy, self-de-ilal
and temperanoe, bave enable! him
to become his own master under tbe
Uars and Stripes. He is a republican
10 politics and sympathizes with tbs
British in their war against the Boers
ind la opposed to the leasing of govern
ment laud for grazing purposes. He
thinks the policy ought to reoeive tbe
condemnation of every man interested in
the welfare of the great west. He thinks
io a few wealthy individuals and co-po-rations
the leasing bill might prove of
some benefit, but the prospective borne
xeeker, he thinks, ought not to be de
prived of bis vested right tbe right to
take up Ki'J acres of land as a homestead.
VIr. Hailey thinks a man cau accomplish
anything be wants if be is willing to
work for it.
He did uol flud Duatilla county a good
market to buy sheep in and, so far as
a reporter for this paper was able to
learn, he found no opportunity for the
investment, of any part of tbe thousands
of dollars be possesses.
