icy, tbe mayor requested the aldermen
to lend every effort to have the Mosier

of this fruit growing diatrict should be

Less taxea will be available to tbe

GREAT VIOLINIST TO

Msud Powell I
And then a hundred times again:
Maud Powell I
Picture to vourself a dainty, abim-
merins. brown clad figure, a fine face.
a strong face, a good, wholeaome, hon
est face ; laughing eyea and winaome
smile-and you have Maud Powell.
Picture again, a womanly grace, an
almost manly strength of bow arm, an
irreproacbabla technic, an limpeccable
nitch. an unner ranse of strangely
ethereal beauty, an exquiaiteness of
sentiment with not a trace or aenimen-
talitv and a delicacy of finish and hu
man loveableness beyond all compare,
save witb Kreisler and you have
Maud Powell.
1 tell vou that America can thank
God for at least one great artist, and
one sterling, womanly woman, allied
in the one pretty, slight form of Maud
Powell.
I do not wonder that the eastern
critics insist on comparing thia wonder
ful little woman with the greateat
male artiats of the violin sphere. She
has amaxing atrengtb for one so slimly
built; and, yet, tbe more amazing
thing is that she does not sacrifice tbe
faintest vestige of that sweet delicacy
which, after all. is tbe noblest crown
of true womanhood.
Tha fnreffnin? ia taken from the Los
Anorolea Times. Hut all western critics
of music have acclaimed the noted
nmerican atriat aa one of the tru y
great musiciana ot the age. She ap
peals not only to the erudite, the mus
ically learned, but to the novice, the
unitiated, the man who lovea melody.
there is sometning aooui ner piaying,
thnun who hava heard her sav. that
reachea down to tbe very depths of
one s being and holds one entranced.
Maud Powell will come nere rrom
Portland tomorrow and under the man
nf tha Heiliir theatre of that
city, give a concertat the Riverside
Congregational church. JtcKets are on
sale for tbe concert at Clarke's drug
store.

Women who get but little exercise are
llkelv to be troubled with constipation
