Tom Galvln returned Thursday morning from Woodvllle, where he had been on a business trip. A fair-sized audience greeted the liiplls of Prof. J. 8. MacMurray at the recital given In the opera house Tuesday night. The program was cpened by a chorus. "Fondly We Greet You," which was well received After this the pupils carried out the program, each number being ren dered In a creditable manner, several being enthusiastically encored by, the audience. There were" 14 numbers In all and Just before the last one E. S. VanDyke appeared on the platform and stated that Prof. Mac- Murray had prepared several addl tonal selections In rase any of his pupils failed to appear and If the audience desired It he believed the professor would sing a solo. The en thuslastlc gathering was not slow In voicing Its desire and Mr. MacMurray responded with two vocal solos, his rich, melodious voice holding his audience entranced and his technique showed his thorough competency as a musician. The last number on the program, "America," was sung by the entire chorus, and the patriotic hymn, always enthusiastically re- ceived wherever sung In the land of the, free, was almost drowned In a loud round of applause as "Old Glory" was unfurled and the stars and stripes Joined in the closing of the recital. i 'I 1 .

Frosts in Washington NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., April 13 With two nights of severe frosts, with a two-minute hail storm one day and a snow storm the next, the fruit crop in the immediate vicinity of North Yakima seems to be problem atical. K Growers are divided In their opin ions about the damage done. The cherries and apricots are thought to have suffered, and some damage to the pears Is feared.

The display Is a burlesque on a mil linery display of pattern hats and has caused much amusing comment from passersby. Especially Interest ing to the masculine element of the city are the grotesque make-ups on display. A wax figure is adornea with a hat which Is really a credit to the -masculine hand which fash ioned It. The hat is made of rope and is adorned wtth a waving "wil low plume" falling gracefully over the brim, while' a band composed of black steel rings, linked together with a brass chain, completes the artistic adornment. Around this model, grouped on pedestals' of various kinds, Is "headgear" of wonderful creation, embodying every lmaein- able cooking utensil, trimmed with feather dusters, knives, strainers, paint brushes, etc., imitating ex tremes In the millinery art. One hat especially deserves honorary mention its body being composed of a large tin pan with a steam gauee. a rWI drill, two small fly spatters artistic-! ally arranged as ornaments and the crown Is banded by a steel tape mea. ure, ln zigzag effect, amusingly m, the latest trimming on beautiful creations in millinery. There an small hats, large hats and mlddl. sized i hats, composed of choppim bowls, dish pans, stew pans and strainers, adorned In a manner highly complimentary to the window dresser, who, apparently, missed hli calling in taking to the hardware business in preference to millinery, FRANK 11ENSOX, OREGON'S STATE SECRETARY, DEAD REDLANDS, Cal., April .14.
