be desired. It will consist mostly of
concert and solo work on the part of
the band and its members and will
present a number of novelties. Nu
merous descriptive pieces will be in
cluded. Among them will be the pop
ular "Mill in the Forest," "Twitter
ing Birds,'' "Huntsman Overture,"
and "A Day at West Point." and in
preparation for them a number of
new instruments have been ordered
especially from the east to be used
to convey the ideas intended.
It is also announced that a vocal
duet will be rendered by Miss Edna

Good Roads Week" Scheme of Gov
ernor Attruets Attention.
Portland, Feb. 6. Reports from
all over the state Indicate that Gov
ernor West's proclamation setting
aside this week especially for the con
sideration of the subject of good
roads is being acted upon with great
enthusiasm. His message was an ap
peal to the citizens of Oregon to get
ready for the opening of the Pana
ma canal and thus provide the easi
est possible access; to the Interior
country. Under the auspices or tne
Oregon association for Highway Im
provement, copies of the eight bills
that have been prepared were sent
to the commercial clubs and to the
newspapers. The secretary of the
Oregon Development league sent out
a message that as this question was
not a political issue, he urged that
special meetings of the commercial
bodies affiliated with the league be
held to discuss good roads and to
make their recommendations.

"I purchased a double-faced electris sign about a year

me the business that this sign has.
"It not only serves as a sign, and a source of illumina

clear and readable sign by day.
"I am very much pleased with my investment and the
publicity I have received through it. I would certainly ad
vise anyone looking for a live means or advertising to Iik
vest In an electric sign." '
