TRAVEL LECTURE
DoBpito the warm weather and
eountor attractions a very good au
dience asHcinhlcd nt the Presbyte
rian church last alht to hear James
W. 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. .

aldlne Theiss and chorus.
