Great interest attaches to the an noucnement of the coming here of Mr. Otto F. L. Herse, the gifted tenor, who will appear in the Woodman Hall, November 12, for a grand vocal con cert. Mr. Herse gratifies the wish of a host of people in this city who longed to hear and see the noted tenor who has scored again and again all over the country. Mr. Herse has a beauti ful tenor voice of unusual compass and brilliancy. He has what is termed a "naturally placed voice." He has been singing since he was a child and is really self taught, although his con tact with master vocal artists has rounded him to completeness. Wher ever he has appeared crowded houses have been the rule and doubtless will be the case when he appears hare. His program is made up of varied selec tions of high class and familiar songs, each one a gem a program that will satisfy every individual desire, Eng lish, German, Scotch and Irish songs. It is not surprising that this artist's coming is attracting so much atten tion, since a treat of this kind is a rare thing for this community. By all means hear him. Independence Will Be Wet, The following dispatch from Salem to the Oregonlan, declares that Inde pendence is actually "wet" under the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Med ford case, although as yet liquor dealers of the city have taken no steps to profit by the fact. "Though unmentlooed in the recent Supreme Court decision governing the sale of liquor in the city of Medford and but little known among the people of Inde pendence, the charter of that town brings the city under the Supreme Court opinion with the cities of Med ford, Condon and Estacada. The Independence charter was granted in 1905, and varies from the other char ters in the clause granting the privi lege of licensing saloons, only in the fact that it Is moreexpliclt and speci fically stipulated that all acts or stat utes iu conflict with this provision of the charter are repealed. An attempt will be made to secure license under this charter for a saloon in Indepen dence. The town is now "dry."
