To write a criticism of Inst .even
iisir's concert, with tlio ordiimrilv-nc-coptcd
definition of the word in mind,
would be preposterous. It is not for
the small-town musician lmmrerinir
for inspiration, the starved - artist
soul for satisfaction, to criticise the
acknowledged master of tho piano,
named such bv his fellow artists. a
well ns the musical populace of two
continents. We leave that privilege
to tho musical critics of the War cltv
dailies, satiated and wearied bv in
numerable recitals and Concerts, ama
teur and professional, their verdict
often biased bv their diuestion.
eunin in its ncut,o form or the .raoo.d
of the moment. J y J.
To us. Mr. Oodowskv was eminent
ly satisfactory. If the ouestion
arises as to which of his oualities is
superior, one would be compelled to
choose between his sanity, his su
preme artistry, his poetic interpret
tntion, or faultless and incomparable
technic. His contemporaries are cor
rect. Leopold Godowskv combines
nil the requisites to his present at
tainment the ercntcst of livine pian
ists. We were not eiven a hackney
ed procram. Were we played down to
a little One biur number would
linvo beon appreciated. In till prob
ability we should have dimmed our
views of tho offcrin?. however, had
we bcn accorded that privilege as
the pianist, comparable to the sreat
,ones of the 'spenkine staae. has the
faculty of causing the most difficult
feats' of pianistic execution to, look
and sound like "child's plav." ';
-. His octave work wns stupendous,
the passaees for left-hand marvet
ouslv played, his climaxes, a wonder
ful lesson in controlled power and his
pianissimo efforts perfection. Onlv
hours upon hours of patient persever
ance could have accomplished results
shown in tho therial Quality of that
exquisite pianissimo. '
A proof of his well-balanced men
tality was the wholesome sense of
humor revealed in his own dainty
conceit liumoresque from ' Minia
tures. Complexities in the man's na
ture are manifested however. Now
you know him now you don't. But
all the time vou like him oh. Very
very much.
A responsive aduience must-have-l
pleased the artist. The nroeram was
truly of the allies. The French,
Tranck and Debussy, the Polish Clio-
pin and the American McMowell.
Schubert of the Romantic school, was
the onlv representative of music "be
yond the Rhine." -
It; is deplorable that every music
student could not have been present
at the concert. The numbers could
almost have been chosen with the one
idea of the helpfulness, so wise was
tho selection, so indicative of Mr.
Godowoskv's comprehension of iust
what was needed for a community of
this sort. ; ' : ' -'

of Leopold Abcr, added to the even

musical and cave a scholarly reading
of the Sonata.

for the last three years have resulted
In greatly improving most of the

FLU EPEDEMIC IN
KLAMATH FALLS, Nov.- 30.
With many new cases of the Spanish
Influenza reported by the various
physicians In Klamath Falls, and a
considerable number from the out
side district also, Mayor C. B. Crlsler
declares it will be impossible to open
the town ; Until the condition of

The mayor believes that to throw
the bars down now would be liable to
tiring about a situation worse than
has existed here at any time hereto

READY TO SERVE
F
The California-Oregon Power cora-
nany has practically completed Its
power line connection between Cas
tella and Kennett. says the Siskiyou
News. : The heavy copper cables aM
in place and the telephone wires
have been strung. Power will be de
livered to the. Kennett smelter next
week.
The Mammoth Copper company at
present is the largest customer the
Northern California Power company
has. When the California-Oregon
Power company turns on the current
at the Kennett smelter and the Mam
moth mine the Northern California
Power ' company will switch its cur
rent hitherto going to Kennett to the
southward-and deliver it to the Pa
cific Gas and. Electric for San Fran
cisco bay consumption. The Northern
can not deliver all the power released
for the Pacific Gas and Electric is
not quite ready in Colusa county to
receive it. -
The California-Oregon Power com
pany has more power than it can sell
in its territory. The Pacific Gas and
Electric does not have enough ' to
meets-its needs.
HOPE HELD OUT FOR
El
t On K?ovember 22 President Wilson
issued an executive order placing the
war, minerals administration in the
ham's of the bureau of mines where
(t rightfully belongs, since the war
industries board will soon cease to
exist? ' This is an important step for
the chrome producer.
On the chrome situation the current
number of the Minincand Scientific
Press snvs: 'Consumers urc still try
ing to break through the order pro
hibiting imports . of cheap chromitc
from New Caledonia. It is estimated
that the consumption is 95,000 tons
and the domestic production 75.000
tons per annum, so that there is no
excess of domestic ore. Stocks are
said to be- not excessive considering
the plans of the government for sus
taining industries. No shipping Ik
available for importing minerals, and
restrictions on automobile manufac
ture have been removed, thereby re
establishing an important channel for
consumption. The demand for war
minerals is likely to be larger next
year, and under the war minerals act
the purchases bv the government can
be protected bv duty: in sohrt. condi
tions favor the absorption of , the
Amcrief.il production if the war min
erals act i sudininistcred firmly, as we
May now expect."

SERVICES AT TEMPLE
WASHINGTON. . ....ov. 29. "Our
work is done. We have been severely
criticised bv some. Wo have lost
some friends. Wo hnve made some
friends. Our effort has nlwnvs been
to help; never to hinder. 1 believe
wo have, been vindicated.
Senator' Chamberlain today thus
summed up the work of the senate
military affairs committee,, of which
lie is chairman, during the wnr pe
riod.
"We hnve had n-fenrlosa commit
tee," ho snid. "With less courageous
men our achievement would have bocr.
impossible. Now that the war is over,
and investigations will bo made to
critieiso and not to assist. I nm. in a
wav, glad to relinquish the chnirmau
ship." ' -.
Wnrrcn May Succeed Him
' Senator Chamberlain will retire ns
chairman of what has been the most
important committee of congress
during tho last year and n half when
tho republicans come into powvr on
March 4. Ho may bo succeeded bv
Senator Warren,, father-in-law of
General Pershing. No roan in cong
ress has been more severely criticised
than Senntor Chamberlain, although
his collengues believe he did more
to assist in winning the war than nnv
other legislator.- His controversy
with the president, following his as
sertion that tho government had "fal
len down"tin the conduct. of the war.
provided many sensations.
"Scandals erowinc out of tho wnr
oannot be avoided." Senator Cham
berlain said. "Many conditions will
be revealed within the next six
months that probnblv will shock the
country. The public will bo shown
where there has been seemingly tin-
warranted extravagant expenditures
and will condemn those responsible
for it. without talcing into account
the pressing speed in their work."
, From this time forward the military
affairs committeo will have little to
do, Senntor Chnmberlnin believed. The
forthcoming nrmv bill will bo of far
less interest than those enacted dur
ing the war, he said. .. .f
Wilson lias Power to Act ' . '
"President Wilson has practically
all the power he needs to proceed
with demobilization," he continucc.
"The various bureaus created during
the war can be consolidated with oth
er bureaus under the Overman net,
and their service practically termin
ated. The draft law which was the
most important piece of wnr legisla
ticin passed by congress becomes
inoperative with the proclamation of
peace." : '
The army should not he demobil
ized too rapidly. Senator Chamberlain
said, tt would be necessary to mnin
tain a large force the exact numbers
to be determined bv General Pershing
in Europe uptil the pence treaty is
signed.
The absorption of army men and
war workers in civil employments wns
perhaps the most important problem
confronting the country nt this time,
he added. The cancellation of wnr
contrncts on which great' numbers of
men are employed could not be pushed
too rapidly; he believed. Whether the
threatened suits over the cancellation
of contracts would develop depends
upon the foresight with which the
contracts were drawn bv the war de
partment. -. ;".
Effects of Peace in Oregon
"The sudden stopping. of '.spruce
production for airplanes has thrown
between 20,000 and 30,000 men out
of work1 in Oregon," Chamberlain
said. "Contracts for 77, ships have
been cancelled, withdrawing the em
ployment of another 7.000 men. The
need of foreign governments for ship
ping will be ereat, and I am urging the
shipping board to continue construc
tion work on these vessels with the
idea of selling thcrn aftor pence is
declared. I believe the restrictions on
construction of ships for foreign or
der should be immediately withdrawn.
This would case the situation some
what. ; The northwes.t was the home
of the I. W. W., now happily out of
business. However, with great num
bers out of work, it will soon develop
again and prove an even greater men
ace than it was in the past." .- '

LANDS SURVEYED
KLAMATH FALLS, Nov. 30. An
indication of an early opening to set
tlement of the public lands now be
ing reclaimed from the bed of Lower
Klamath lake, a few miles south of
this city, Is the arrival of Surveyor
Fred iMonch from tho United States
land office, at Portland to make a
survey of the lands that are now suf
ficiently drained. The survey is be
ing made for the United States recla
mation service. '; 1 ,
, It is believed that parts of five or
six townships now can ,bo s'urvoyed.
Lower Klamath lake is being re
claimed byjclosiug the gate In Klam

Southern Pacific railroad line. Some
of the lands are now sufficiently
drained for pasturage purposes. A
portion of It Is privately owned while
somo remains public domain... A nat

pected to be tho final football, clnsh
of the northwest inter-collegiate sea

Despite the tact substitutes have
replaced four of Washington's injur
ed regular players, local football
authorities looked tor a close game.
They pointed to the fact that both
teams have scored wins over the Ore
gon Agricultural college. Oregon's
players expected to win by a good
score today. - ;
The skies were cloudy early today
but the players" hoped .rain would
hold off until the'end of the game.
