Much pleasure is being received
from the Radoiphone installed this
Fall at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. H. M. Hayles, south of Airlie.
It is an audion set, capable of sharp
tuning and long distance receiving,
and was constructed by Mr. Hayles.
Ships at sea, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Salt Lake, Denver and
Havre, Montana are among the
points heard. The concerts by the
several broadcasting stations in
Portland have been much enjoyed.
Of particular interest was the dedi­
cation of the Oregonian set on
Thursday evening of last week,
when Toscha Siedel, famous Russian
violinist, and who has been creating
a furore in the musical world by
his marvelous playing, was one of
the radio soloists. This artist play­
ed three numbers, all of which
came through very distinctly.
Francesco Longo, pianist, who ac­
companies Siedel, gave two selec­
tions, and these two men captivat­
ed their thousands of auditors by
their magnificent artistry. It is
estimated that 100,000 persons
"listened in” to this'program.

Community church in Denver,

Thomas Boulden, well known
resident’of this city, died in Port­
land Monday following an opera­
tion. He had not been 'well for
over a year, suffering from lack of
appetite and, eating little, was los­
ing flesh steadily. He retired from
active business recently and thought
a rest would restore him to health.
He went to Portland to spend
Thanksgiving with relatives and
while there consulted a specialist
with the result that he underwent
an operation for the removal of a
fungus growth from the bowels.
He was run over and stepped on
by a'cow 'about a year ago and his
ailment is laid to that circumstance.
He rallied from the effects of the
operation and word was that he was
getting along nicely with good
prospects for recovery. But he
suffered a relapse and death came
speedily.
Mr. Boulden was born in South­
ern England and came to this
country when a young man. He
settled in New York state and
worked on a farm and later moved
to Nebraska where he did his part
as a pioneer. When he came to
Oregon he settled in Corvallis
where he lived until ten years ago
when he came to Monmouth and
bought the buildings on the north­
west corner of Main and Knox
streets. As in Corvallis he con­
ducted a feed store here and bought
chickens. He was a kindy man and
a good neighbor, strictly honest
and when able, a steady worker.
He will be misBed by many.
