U, OF 0. GLEE AND
MANDOLIN CLUB
Will Appear et the Opera, Hou ae
Saturday Night. De
cember 22nd.
Great interest is being manifested
in Grants Pass in the appearance of
the University of Oregou Glee and
Mandolin Clubs next Saturday even
ing at the Opera House. From the
time the curtain goes np on the first
number till the end of the sketch
which closes the program there is
something doing all the time. When
you get SO college boys together in
a concert something has got to hap
pen and tilings certainly do happen
in tlio coming concert. With old col
lege songs, mandolin mnsio, funny
stunts, killing monologues, solos, late
song hits, and catchy instrumental
music, the audience has no ohance for
a breath. The progiam opens with a
group of two songs to "Oregon,"
which are sung with all the spirit
and patriotism of University of Ore
goo Students. One of these songs,
''Hail to Oregon" was composed this i
year by Mr. Henderson of the club, i
and has already become a favorite in
the hearts of the boys. The program
then proceeds with Mandolin Clubj
selections, a monologue by Kelly, a j
solo by Billy Neal and the Glee Club, j
more Mandolin Mnsio, then a solo by i
Prof. I. M. Glen. This number de-
serves special mention. Prof. Glen i
is known all through this rart ot the
state on account ol his excellent work
in connection with the Chaotaaquas
at Athalud. His solo will be the
Prologue to Pagliaci, a number which
shows off his rich baritone voice in
creut srvlc lie will doubtless hn
welcomed by his ninny friunds in a
. ...
most enthusiastic manner.
Roy Kelly then comes on with a
sliriekingly funny monologue. His
work Is of the droll sort that takes the
audieuce bv storm, and if vou haven't
. . : . . .. .
j had a good bear y laugh lately you
want to bear
him "Bock" as he is
called among the boys has a "grin" j Henry Yokoro, a pioneer of Oregon,
that is irresistible, died at his home in this city Monday,
The program ends with a sketch at the age of 73 years. The funeral
portraying scenes in college life. It services were held yesterday in Rid
goes off with a snap and ginger that ' din, Oregon, where the body was ship-
only college boys can pat into it In
it are introduced all th late song
bits as well as some old College sougs
that all the old colli ge people love.
In the sketch also are a lot of indi-
vidoal stunts by members of the tlob, '
notably Van Dnsen, whose work in
niagio and as the hypnotist is very 1
clever. !
On the whole the show is a dandy.
It gives you a young teeling again
and yon take home with yon a taste
of real col'ege life.

erroneous. He also says there Is no
more worship of idols there than
hero when we ereot a statute of a
great statesman.
The man who claims it costs no
more to keep a pore-bred cow than it
does a scrub, makes a mistake. It
does oost more to keep a pore-bred, if
she is a heavy producer. At the On

cowb that gave the largest milk yield
cost (47.83 for her feed, while the low
est producer was only $23. 12. Bnt the
best cow gave a profit of t 17. 18 over
the cost of food, while the inconi
from the scrub was only (3A.40.
