Ree« Poet No. 67 of the American Legion on last Tuesday night, offi cers for the year of 1922 were elect ed.

The various committees were not named a f this meeting but will be appointed at the first meeting in January. The building committee reported that they had bought a lot situated, at the northeast corner of First and Center streets, 100x100 feet. The property was purchased from Cass A Brown. This will be the site for the new legion building. The plans for the new building have not as yet been definitely settled on, but it is the intention of the legion to make this building a community house for the people of Newberg. The audi torium will be planned to take care of the future growth of our city, so that we may have a building of such sire to amply take care of conven tions and fairs. The construction of the building will probably start be fore March 1. Lester Rees Post has applied to the corporation commissioner at Sa lem for papers of incorporation. The different posts of Yamhill county are applying for a charter to establish a Locale Volture for the Kociete des 40 .Jiotnmes et 8 Che- \aux. The charter will probably be secured the early part'of January. The men of the legion are plan ning on giving a dinner to the le gion auxilllary on New Years eve at 6:30.

Just to show the people of Newberg In general and the Ber- riun organization in particular that the boys appreciate what is being done for them, plans for giving a free public concert sometime In Jan uary were launched, and a committee appointed to arrange for a hall and other details, and the band will go to work at once preparing a program which will no doubt be enjoyed by those who attend and at the same time give added Interest to the play ers. and be a strong factor in the progress of the organization. It may be further safely stated that the Jan uary concert will not be the last one, as the band plans to put on a free concert probably once each month in case suitable hall can be secured, changing to the open air as soon as the season progresses to make these outdoor programs possible. The Berrlan booster club is now providing the financial backing and paying the director of the band! Mr. Campbell Is a most proficient musical director and holds highest musical degrees from the renowned London college of mush:.. He has been the musical director for well known opera companies and military bands both in America and abroad, and is the composer of several muBical com edies, including the successful opera “ The Rajah of Bhong.” He is also the author of several musical text books and was for some time musical critic for the New York Dally News. He Is now on the advisory stafT of Sieberling & Lucas, the well known Portland music house. Since the Berrlans have provided capable instruction those who are In terested in the band are making a strong effort to build up the organ ization in every way possible, and hope to. develop a band which will be a credit to the city of Newberg. and be in readiness to respond to *1Fbe legion made up several boxes [ any ca llth at may be made upon it of preserves, candy, fruit, etc., to in the way of community service. send to Portland.

Newberg turned out in large num bers to assist the Whitney Boys Chorus last Friday evening, when they went to McMinnville to partic ipate in a concert which was given In the gymnasium at McMinnville college. There were 138 Newberg boys on the platform, as well as 50 Portland boys and quite a number of the McMinnville boys, making over 200 in all. The concert was very largely, attended on the part of the McMinnville people and proved to be a decided success. Rev. Whitney is certainly to be congratulated upon the excellent fcay in which he han dles the boys and deserves great praise for his interest in them. Chas. A. Morris, the local director, wishes us to thank those persons who assisted tn the big* task of get ting' ttte boyB to McMinnville either with the use of cars or in other ways. The Newberg boys did splendidly and it was really remarkable, the ef fective work of bo large a chorus of boys, many of whom had never sung together before. Mr. Whitney has stated that he will feature the Newberg boys at the big concert in Portland next spring if they continue to hold their splen did lead over other cities and if they progress satisfactorily as they no doubt will, from a musical stand point. Mr. Morris has also sugges ted the feasibility of using the boys in connection with Newberg’s par ticipation in the Rose Festival par ade next year and no doubt with all of these things the Newberg choruB will find much Incentive for hard work. Incidentally this chorus should assist materially in advertis ing Newberg. --------- o--------- MUSIC RECITAL The afternoon recital given at the Presbyterian church on Wednesday under the direction of Miss Britt was well attended in spite of unfavor able weather conditions. The piano pupils were mostly of Intermediate isfactory progress and attainments. Several displayed a marked degree of talent and proficiency. Mrs. Grlssen presented two vocal pupils. Miss Edith Sanderman and Miss Della Parrish, both of whom sang in a most pleasing manner. The piano pupils were Dorris Hud dleston, Ellene Abernathy. Isabel Gill. Blythe Patterson. Arleta Cell, Alnetta Parrish. Rose Schaad, Leona Smith, Donald Crozer. Carl Crane, Clarence Schaad. Mildred Frazier, Juanita Atkinson. Mary Harmon, Mary Balzer, Lucille Smith, Cather ine Osborne, and Thelma Parrish. The fine farm home of Simon San derman, which was situated on the right hand side of the highway near the foot of the Rex hill and about two and a half miles east of Newberg was destroyed by fire last Monday afternoon. The source of the fire seems to be a complete mystery, for it is understood-that the fire appar ently originated in the attic roof but was not near the chimney. Pos sibly the high wind of that afternoon lodged some sparks In the roof I g niting it. but this is only cffeijecture. When first discovered the blaze had gotten a big start and nothing could be done to save the house. The sit uation was made worse by the ex treme cold and the fact that the wa ter, which ordinarily would have af forded some protection, was frozen tip. The Maze was Arst discovered at about l:3tf'p . m. and by about 2 o'clock the entire house was de stroyed. Neighbors rushed to the assist ance of the Sandermans and did ev erything lift their power to save fur niture, etc-/but the flames had gone so far that In reality little could be saved of value. The piano was about the only thing of much value that was saved. There was insurance on both the house and furnishings but this will not cover the actual loss. The Sanderman home occupied a commanding view' on a rise of ground close to the highway and was one o f the finest homes in this part of the country. It contained ten rooms be sides a bath and large hall and had only been built about five or six years. The house was surrounded by outbuildings, such as barn, chick en houses, etc, and fortunately none of these were burned. The Sander man family are stopping with Mrs. Sanderman's sister, Mrs. Ed. Asmus. since the fire. After the house was practically all in ashes, a passing auto turned in an alarm to the New berg fire department, who made a run out there, but as they did not get the word until^too late to do any- » w 'A 'i - S0ÜTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY COMPLETES THE BIG TUNNEL The completion of Elk Rock tunnek on the Southern Pacific, east side electric line, between Portland and Oswego, was celebrated Monday morning, December 5, 1921.
