SAM PACE BUYS HALF
INTEREST IN O. R. & I. CO.
There is probably no man who
knows the land of Wallowa county
like ex-Assessor Sam Pace, He has
been on nearly every quarter section
for valuation purposes, and It seems
natural and fitting that he should
go Into the real estate business. He
has bought a half Interest In the
well known O. R. & I. company, L.
E. Jordan, who organized and has
been connected with it ever since, re
taining the other half Interest.
The company has fitted up fine
quarters in the old Chieftain office,
and will be a power In the develop
ment of this great county.
Plan For County
Choral Society
MUSIC LOVERS TALKING OF SUM
MER MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH
150 CHORUS
Music lovers In Enterprise arc dis
cussing plans looking to the organiza
tion of a Choral society to Include
singers from every part of Wallowa
county, the Intention being to unite
the various sections Into one grand
chorus of at least 150 voices. In a
summer music festival extending ovei
two or three days. If the singers
of the county will unite in the mat
ter. It Is proposed to engage Prof,
toyer, of Portland, who will give his
undivided attention to the training of
the chorus during the months of
July and August. The good results
of such training by a man of Prof.
Boyer's exceptional ability are so ap
parent a3 to require no demonstra
tion. Prof. Eoyer Is now at work with
the Portland chorus for the annual
spring festival to be held In that
city In March next. The chorus num
bers 503 and everything points to a
triumphant success.
In the New Year's Issue of the
Oregonlan, Frederick W. Goodrich,
president of the Portland Festival
chorus, contributes the following,
which will doubtless Interest Prof.
Boyer's many friends in Wallowa
county: "Here In Portland is a
permanent choral organization which
those in charge have determined o
make the best of its kind in the Pa
clfic We3t. Composed of many of
the finest musicians in the city, it
cannot fall to exercise a powerful
Influence on the musical life of the
entire section. It would be making
invlduous comparisons to mention the
names of the many professional mu
sicians who sing In Its ranks, but
every musician in the city, worthy of
the name, Is either singing or exert
ing a poweful Influence In its favor.
The director is Wm, H. Boyer, a vet
eran in the cause of choral music.
A flnq trainer and brilliant chorus
master, no one Is more fitted thai
he to direct such an organization."
