ISrwin of San Kraueiseo, oflctal lecturer of the Southern Pacific company, in his superhly Illustrated lecturo entitled "Thru tho Sunny Southland and the Great Southwest." Illustrated lectures come and ko. but It is seldom one sees such fine pic tures' as were shown lust ovenins. At Ashland on Thursday evening Mr. Irwin guvo his lecturo "From the Golden Gate to Panel Sound" beforo a largo audienco and so ploased were tho pooplo that several cumo to Med ford last eveuing to enjoy tho second lecturo. Tho Itlnernry of last night's lec ture covered tho steamer from :New York to New Oiicunn, Louisiana, Tex as, New Mexico, and Arizona into California. Tho cotton, sugar and rice Industries were most graphically portrayed, tho trip over the famous r pacha Trail of Arizona was especi ally Interesting. In a series of two lecturos Mr. Krwin is able to present tho attractive features of tho entire Southern Pacific lines. On this trip be is gathering much new material for his work In tho east for next season. AMERICAN TANKER SUNK IN RUNNING FIGHT WASHINGTON, Juno 16.. Amer ican naval gunners huvo mot their first defeat in open fight with a Ger man submarine. Official dispatches today announced tho destruction of tho tank st-nmship Morcui, abandon ed June 12, ablaze, by her crow and armed guard, aft or a running fight in i lio war zone, which cost tho lives of four of her crew. Half an hour after tho tanker had been sent to tho bottom, her IJ sur vivors, Including all of the members of the armed guard, wero picked up with their life boats by a passing steamer. L YET PRESENTED Tho concert given by the Choral society at the I'age last evening again emphasizes the fact that tho Rogue Itivor valloy Is taut becoming a mu sical center. At the rise of tho cur tain a large and splendid looking chorus together with tho musicians and floral decorations presented a pic ture that was most tmpreBslvo. When the entire company got fully under way In the first number, tho "Waltz from Faust," tho way In which they took hold of their work and their re markable precision In following tho baton of Mr. Andrews, dispelled all misgivings as to their being able to put ovor tho program In an artistic manner. i Too much praise can not be given tho members of each of these socie ties for tho painstaking work they have put in, In rehearsing the pro gram given last evening In such a de lightful manner. The people of Med ford and Ashland should reel especial pride In thetr choral societies and lend them every assistance necessary in making them ono of tho best cho ruBes on tho Pacific coast. Soloists Win .- piilnuKe. Tho soloists last evening deserve special mention; Miss Geraldinc Theiss' rendition of tho very difficult "Habanera," from Carmen, was beautiful. Her voice was well modulated and her diction ex cellent. This number is one thnt has been the masterpiece of several of our groat Carmens, and was a very pre tentions number to be tackled by a local singer, but it did not suffer In the hands of Miss Theiss, who 6ang it In a very muslclanly manner. Tho duet from Martha was In the hands of experienced singers, Mr. An drows and Mr. Walters and was quite a treat In Its way. They huvo sung this duet together probably three 'or four hundred times In thoir profes sional career. 'Miss Florence Ilazelrigg sang the Aria from 11 Trovatoro, and she never sang so beforo in her life. She seem ed to bo inspired by the occasion, and In tho slang phraso of the side show man, 'she eat It up.' This alia is a very difficult number, and requires real singing to get by with it. Miss llazelilgg seemed to toy with the most difficult passages. Her high K's wero taken as easy and smooth as her middle C's, and at the close of her number the applause almost rocked tho theatro. 1m nils Audience. Another number that went up Into the realms of the hlgji art, was Mrs. Leta Chllders in ltosslnl's master piece, luflammatus from Stabat Ma ter. Iter tono production was espe cially beautiful and stood out above tho big chorus and orchestra Willi bell like Rweetness thnt charmed her au dience. Mr. S. Vilas lleckwith in tho recita tive and chorus from Stulmt Mnter, taken as a whole was probably one of tho most artistic things of tho even lint. Mr. Ilerkwith's rendition of the recitative was marked by his perfect poise and excellent shading. Mr. lleckwith is a thoro musician, which was clearly manifested by his Inter pretation of this magnificent number. Mrs. Kdna Isaacs and Mr. C. C, Mc Curdy should ronio In for their share of praise, as their solo singing and parts they sustained In tho quartet were splendidly done. Mrs. (toorge Andrews' volco was beautiful in the quartet, and wo-should have liked to havo heard more of It. Oeilit Duo to Andrews. George Andrews certainly deserves a great deal of credit for the unselfish energy ho has manifested In develop ing the music of this community and his tireless work In this direction Is bound to put Medford on the map mu sically speaking. Mr. Harry Howell Is also doing some splendid work with his choral orchestra. It Is refreshing to see the two directors working in perfect har mony and accord, mutually endeavor ing to get the best results. The or chestra number was by far tho best thing ever heard in Medford from a local orchestra. They had a very strong professional flavor in the ren dition of their number. The complete program follows: Waltz from Faust. "When the Heart Is Young." Duet from Martha. Mr. George An drews and Mr. Frank Walters. . Habanera from Carmen, Miss Ger aldlne Theiss and chorus.
