The news that Ira Pratt will open
a studio in Enterprise will be wel
comed by many who will wish to
avail themselves of his talent as a
teacher. Mr. Pratt has won a blj
place in this neck of the woods as
a musician, but he held a large
place in the musical world before
he ever heard of Wallowa county.
He studied under the best teachers
in the great musical centers of the
East and had gained enviable fame
as a concert vocalist -when his health
compelled him to give up music for
railroading. After an operation he
completely regained his voice and is
now resuming bU interrupted life-
work. His standing in the musical
world is shown by such notices as
tnese: Denver News "Big Denver

church has forged to the front In the
