" la a fftA The Andrews Opera Company 20 Years of Opera From a Rail Fence Circuit Interesting History of Medford', Pioneer Musical Family In One Night Stands in the Mlddlewest Many Years Ago as Told by Ed Andrews to Charles Hyskell, NO. III.' When I arrived at St. Peter I found that George had landed a backer, by name of John coleston, a young Eng lishman, who had a pocketful ef money and a musical soul full of en thusiasm for the opera Dusineas. no at once ordered our printing at Chi cago ad recalled Oarr and Alllaon, the former from Kokomo, Indiana, ana the latter from Denver. This waa about 1883. Edison nad invented electric lights but the An drews family hadn't seen one yet and the onera house at St. Peter was light ed with kerosene lamps. Gilbert and Sullivan had written In rapid auc oesslon the English light operas. Trial Bv Jurv. The Sorcerer, Pinafore. Pi rate of Penzance, and Patience. As there was no American copyrigh.. earlv nroducera on this side were ulck to seize these operas. In the farm house parlor, aurrouna- lng the fateful melodeon, now a bit wheezr In the bellows after 18 years of peddling, we tackled Pinafore with a vim that drove the Rev. John Red din Andrews almost to desperation. The only Interruption he waa able to enforce was for nightly family pray ers when he asserted hi ' authority and compelled Sir Joseph Porter and the entire Queen'a nav-ee to kneel a few minutes on the oaken floor. We imported a professional tenor and aa a final precaution we sent our baritone, my brother George, to Min neapolis to hear "airofle-Glrofla," a French light opera that the Boeton lans were singing there on their first western tour. We already had Jie score. With a chorus of local talent our first public operatic performance of It was given at the St. Peter opera house. It proved to be a wow and the Andrews Opera Company with reper toire including "Pinafore," "Doctor of Alcantra" and "Chime of Normandy, was launched on a career that was to run through a quarter of a century replete with adventure, triumphs, failures, Joya and griefs. This first cast Included John Garr, tenor; myself and Fred Clayton, comedlana; George Andrews and Jack Aluson, baritones; Laura Andrew and Hattle Robb, so pranos; Florence Andrews, contralto; Will Andrewa basso. Alloa Andrews, now a voice teacher In New York, played the piano accompaniment for a violinist. Frank Rhodea waa busi ness manager and Luclan Wakefield went In advance. Artistically we were good enough from the start, but we made the mis take of playing too many small towns, Church people In general had not yet approved of opera. We would take In $80 to 8200 a night oltener ago. The present network or railways west of Chicago did not then exist. There was Salisbury's Troubadour, and there was Roslna Yokes. She was) BEAR CREEK CREW SEASON El NEAR One hundred and twenty-five em ployes of the Bear Creek orchards took part In the annual plcnlo held yes terday noon In the Bear Creek pack ing plant, with a "feed" and general good time, which was described as a complete success. A roast beef lunch waa prepared by the Club cafe, with the ladles fur nishing salad and cake. After the lunch; Clarence Prultt, sorting fore man, was presented a beautiful foun tain pen and pencil set by the sorting crew. The packing crew gave their "boss," Ross Kline, a walnut smoking set. Ice-cream waa furnished by the Rosenberg brothers, and coffee by Bert Lowry, superintendent. The cold storage crew was present and more than accounted for, according to one picnicker, as was found after the ban quet, much to the amuaement of the banqueters. As an "appropriate" gift to their foreman, Bert Lowry, Jr., the crew appropriated a t?ood share of the Ice cream before the picnic, and gave It to Lowry. When the time came to open the Ice cream for des sert. It was found that the prank had been successful, even to the di viding up of the "gift." David and Harry Rosenberg, owners, and Bert Lowry, Sr., 'superintendent, were In charge of the affair, which la conducted each season In apprecia tion of the crew's services. Mr. Lowry has been with the firm for the past 23 years.

The preachera were stlU de nouncing the Black Crook and Ly dla Thompson' English Blondes. "Baby Mine" ws a popular song. Imry and Bolossy Klralfy had Just brought out the spectacular ballet, "Enchantment," but only the larger cities saw It In the west. Pat Rooney and Dion Bouclcault were among the most popular Idol. Richard Mansfield had made only his first stage appear ance, playing a comedy part m "Black Mantles"; petit Emma Abbott was already singing the first light opera of Ollbert and Sullivan. The big gun In the opera business were the lawyer-lmpreasarlo Colonel McCaull and J. C. Duff, and later Edward Rice who couldn't read music but composed "Evangeline" on a piano "by ear." It was In Evangeline that the rising young actor, Henry E. Dlx ey, was accused of playing the hind lega of the pet heifer, which he pub licly and fiercely denied, but after ward admitted that the played the front lega. At that time Fay Templeton wa a 18-year-oM operatic star and Harry B. Smith wa clerking for a Chicago publisher of Sunday school tracts and writing secretly on the side his first opera, entitled "Roslta, or Cupid and Cupidity," for which John Tem pleton paid hi five dollars cash. Oll bert, in London, 'surpassed this fig ure by a few dollars with hi first play, "Dulcamara; or the Little Duck and the Great Quack," a burlesque of Donnlzettl's Ellslr d'Amore, for which the St. James Mualo Hall In 1868 paid him thirty pounds twelve year before he wrote pinafore. But Ollbert, who wrot 7 year for the stage, fell far behind Harry Smith' record of 800 librettos within a period from 1884 to 1918. Perhaps Ollbert' most bizarre title wa "Roo- ert, the Devil; or the Nun, the Dun and the Son of a Gun." a Gaiety theater burlesque the year before he first met Arthur Sullivan. The Chicago Church choir In 1883 had taken to the road alnglng Pa tience and some other Gilbert and Sullivan pieces, playing aa far west as Texas, where some of their audi ences wearing side-arms hsd forced entrance to the ahow without uaylng admission. But the Idea of purveying opera to Main atreetera r-2 the fron tier appealed to the Andrews family and we started ou: oompany west and south. Pioneering was no new thing in our young live. It waa not until 1888 that Roland Reed.

Cornelius, president of the North western Hardwood Lumbermen aa- soclatlon, aa a result of the Better Housing program fostered by the Federal Housing admmtatration. In an enthuslastto statement out lining the benefit to the lumber In dustry that are expected to accrue from the prcgram, Mr. Cornelius said: "I believe It la safe to aay that If ten million homea and other build lnga are repaired or Improved, there will be about two billion feet of lumber used aa a result. In addition to the more common use of lumber, a large amount of forest products 1 utilized In the manufacture of Insu lation and wall board as well aa other Item. Further use la found for lum ber In the crating of plumbing fix tures, articles of hardware, eto. "An indirect aid to the lumber In dustry will come from the transport ing of product and material by the railroads. The additional business the railroads will receive from the Better Housing program will help re lieve the railroad situation, and thereby enable the railroad compan ies to purchase forest product for the purpose of repairing track and otner equipment." There win be few repairing, alter ing or Improvement project In which lumber will not figure directly or In- directly, with great benefit to the Industry, according to Mr. Cornelius.
