Arriving at Medford, Hyskell wrote
Andrews that things looked good to
him, and a few weeks later Andrews
with his family and the greater part of
Jthe opera troupe landed in Medford.
5AU of them planned to become farmers
lor fruit growers, some took up honie-
jsteads, others purchased lauds.
Ivan Humason of Portland was at
that time the druggist at Medford and
his store was the rendezvous of all
newcomers. The first day in town
Andrews and his musical director,
Charles D. Hazelrlgg, and other mem
bers of the former opera troup, were
escorted to the Humason store. When
evening came, Humason, who was one
of the leaders in tho community's mu
sical activities, as ho was also here
in the earlier days of Portland, excused
himself, saying he had to attend a re
hearsal of "Tho Mikado," to be given
by. local talent. Hq had not the, slight
est suspicion of tho new'comcrs being
opera folk.
"Come back tomorrow," he said Vj
Mr. Andrews and his companions,
"and I'll take you around town and
introduce you to the business men.
Andrews hinted they'd like to at
tend the rehearsal and they. were invited.
The young lady who had played the
piano accompaniments was delayed
somehow and while waiting for her
Hazelrigg entertained with a number
of piano selections. That was line,
nerhnns he could fill in until the pian
ist arrived. He thought so and began
to iilav the opening scene from the
opera.
Hazelrigg discovered that the sing
ers had only a few books of the score
nnrt hnnded his to Mr. Humason, who
was directing.
"Take mine." ho said, "I think 1 can
cot along without it," and continued
nlavinE letter perfect
"Humason was astounded, but went
on with the rehearsal.
A young banker was to sing the rolo
of Pooh-Bah. He did not know his
well and his acting was
Komewhat crude. -
By this time Andrews had climbed
unon the stage.
"Perhaps I can help you a little," he
'suggested as he stepped In and sang
the rolo with great abandon.
"What's this," exclaimed the
fered various excuses, saying anion
other things his education in musical
appreciation had been neglected, and
so forth. However, he finally accepted.
"They are all farmors, but can sing
and act," Humason assured him.
The opening scene was put over in a
way that revealed years of training.
Then entered Henry Gnrson, as Nang-ki-Po.
a tall, handsome tenor with a
bell-like voice. Ho was originally from
New York.
You say he's. a farmer?" asked the:
Portlander turning to his host Humason.
"Yep, lie's a farmer from tho ury
Creek district."
Ko-Ko entered and threw the house
into convulsions of laughter.
Another farmer, 1 suppose, whis
pered the visitor. 1
"He's from the woods oacK 01 iowii,
a homesteader."
When Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing and
Poep-Roo, the three mams, trippeu
i'airv-like upon the stage, the Portland
business man and opera connoisseur
became mildly sarcastic.
Suppose these are farmers wives:
'That they be," answered Humason
truthfully.
Well. then, tho dinners on ine, ou
certainly havo some remarkable farm
ers down here." '

A Demonstration
When you buy an automobile, you
always choose one of many makes.
Usually you have a demonstration to
convince you of the worth of the car
before you buy it. You are buying the
car on its merits.
