' Practically, nil tho existing literature- haB boon subjected to crit ical examination, with a view to so curing as far as possible, a corroct version of both text and music, tho necessity for such having long boon apparent, nnd especially urged upon President Itoosovolt, at whoso sug gestion this investigation was Instl tutod. In almost ovcry caso somo lntor estlng questions wore oncountorcd. tho only excoptlon bolng tho Rev. Samuol P. Smith's "America." But oven horo tho dato of tho first timo it was Bung la public has boon brought Into question: whether it was on July 4th, 1832, at tho Park street church, Boston, or on a pro vlous occasion at tho Bowdoln streot church In tho samo city. Tho 'llov. Mr, Smith wroto so many- autograph copies of IiIb hymn 'with Buch unvarying uniformity of toxtj as'to give no opportunity for dlfferenco of opinion. Tho origin of tho music is not touohod upon in this' roport, slnco it has boon so ably dlBCueacd' by European investigators A cluo to tho literature of tho sub ject' Ib afforded by tho blblogrnphy. It la 1 pointed out, however, that it is hardly fair to connidcr tho inn aio.. as borrowed, for whllo tho air prpporly belongs to tho English na tional nnthom, it was nono tho less n 'heritage of tho English colonics in America, and that It was ho consid ered' Is clearly shown by tho groat mimborof Bongs wrltton to tmft tho music during and Immediately after tho Revolution. Tho circumstances attending tho writing of "Tho Star-Spangled Ban nor" havo novor boon tho subjoot of any controvorfly, slnco tho narratlvo rests on information furnished by Key hlmsolf. Two Interesting ques tions ,havo, however, arisen: how . camo tho wordB to bo woddod to tho air "To.Anncroon In Heaven": and whore wns tho song first sung in public. Both of thoso nro jllscusaod at conBidorablo length in tho rqport witki abundant citation of original sources, illustrated by facsimile ro productious of manuscripts and raro earjy Imprints. Not only tho toxt of "Tho Btnr Spanglod Bannor" but Its music Is Hung nnd plnyod with notlcoablo dlf foronces, In ono caso as mnny nu fourteen variations In the toxt woro noted, A comparison of gong boohs now and old bIiowb that tho melody has uudorgono tho usunl process of pollening and modification such ns takos placo, elthor for hotter or wqrso, with all folk, traditional, and patrtotlo Bongn. How dcslrnblo it Is for musical nnd other reasons that at loaat tho molody of a national song should havo somo stability and uniformity Is olenrly shown by tho groat numbor of variations notod In tho report. First a comparison Is nmdo botwoon tho melody ns It ap pears In tho Vocal Enchantress, 1783, tho earliest version In tho Li brary of iCongmm, and tho vorslon used for Pnlno's "Adams and Llbor ty" In tho American Musical MIscol luuy, 170S, nnd with tho vorslon In tho Baltimore Musical Mlseollnny, 113,04, facsltullo reproductions or each of thoso oarly vorslons bolng provided. Thon twolvo rocont song books, published botweon 1902 nnd 1900, selector at random, nro com pared with John Philip Sousa'a "Na tional, Patriotic and Typical Airs of all Lands," 1890, compllod "by nu thorlty" for uso In tho Unltod Statoa Navy. Tho rosult Is not lotts sur prlalng than Interesting nnd clearly ludlontus tho need of somo uniform ity nnd stnbllty. "Hall Columbia" was wrltton In 1798 at tho Unto of tho troublowlth Franco. It mado a strong nppoal to tho patriotism of tho country and, eoutalutng no allusions to either Franco or England, became very popular with all parties nnd soon dovolopod Into a full-tlodgod natloal song. It possoHftoH ono point of dis tinction ovor both "Tho Star-Span-lqd Bannor" and -'America" In that both words and music were pro duced In tho United States. Tho au thor, Joseph Hopklntton. doeorlbod tho circumstances which led to tho composition of his poenv In a lottor written August 24. 1840. to tho Uov. Rufus W. Grlswold and printed In Tho Wyoming Bard, Wllkesbarro, Pa., and reprlntod In this report. Consldorabol space Is dovoted to an examination of tho claims of two oarly American composers to whom tho composition of tho air, "Tho President's March," has boon attrlb utcd, and in connection with this subject It Is Interesting to note that a fortunato find of somo sheets of old muBlc in a recent purchase by tho Library of Congress has placed tho nuestlon practically beyond nu reasonable doubt. Tho music of "Hall Columbia" has suffered oven more changes than "Tho Star-Spangled Bannor." A comparison of tho air as printed In the samo recent song books that woro used in the study of "Tho Star-Spangled Bannor" shows a most deplorable stato of affairs. Moro than half of tho twenty-eight bars of which tho song consists show somo variation. "Yankee Doodlo" Is tho humorous member of this group of songs. It began probably as a march timo to wh'ch doggerel verses woro from timo to timo fitted, but theso havo all droppol Into practical disuse, so that now it is to all intents and pur poses a purely Instrumental pleco. Its history was a perfect mazo of conflicting stories, which required moro spneo in tho report to elucidate thnn was needed for tho other three songs put together. Incidentally and as a preliminary tho meanings of tho words YankeO Doodlo nro inves tigated, and while tho result arrived at Ib not absolutely certain, it Ib moro than moroly probablo. Tho samo cannot bo said of tho tune; its origin aftor tho moat caroful exam ination of tho many differont stories still remain a matter of doubt. It Is clear, howover, that a tune nt first played In dorlslon of tho "Provin cials" was ultimately adopted by them as a national air. Tho verses sung to tho tune in tho oarly days woro many and various, nnd pomiltted of endless Interpola tion. Tho most popular set, "Fa thor and I wont down to camp," havo boon fixed nlmost beyond doubt to a definite time and place, al though tho author still remains un known. It Is thus apparent that whllo tho ronort Is not a' nomilar history; It win furnish a roady answor to most of tho quostlons that are likely to come up In. connection with our nntonnl airs.

A movement is on foot to organ ize tho Angora goat ralsors of tho Northwest Into an association simi lar to tho organizations maintained by other livestock breeders, says the Dalles Observer. The thousands of good, fertile acres in Western Oregon, lying Idle for "the want of clearing, are becom ing moro and more appreciated as tho price of Improved land goes up. Tho value of the goat In the clearing up process and yielding a handsome profit from his back at tho samo time is only Just beginning to bo understood. The advance in tho price of mo- ha'r; the new uses of mohair in tho textile world; tho establishment In Portland of tho largest mohair mill In the West all of theso things are bolng noted by tho Angora breeders nnd aro serving as an incentive to organize an association, so that somo concerted action may bo taken on matters affecting the goat indus try. This business Is the purpose of this movement. Saturday, January 8, 1910, at Dallas, Oregon, a meeting will bo held to discuss plans for the propos ed organization. It is expected that most of the leading goat men of Oregon will attend. At this time, tho advisability of resuming the an nual goat shows in Dallas will com up for consideration. The meeting will bo hold at 1 o'clock In tho aftor noon, nnd It is hoped that every goat breeder In tho Willamette val ley will elthor be present or will Bend a letter approving the organi zation of an association. James Ennls, an old soldier, was found last Tuesday in a starving condition under a tree on tho west shio of the Wllltmetto river, jtist opposito Sellwood. Tho old man wns almost frozen, having no shel ter but a few slabs of bark he had managed to pllo against a log to ward off tho rain. Although abso lutely penniless and without food he seemed quite IndepOndont, and would not think of becom'ng a coun ty charge. Ho could not bo per suaded to leave his crude camp, bo the people of Sellwood have mado him as snug ns possible, ponding an application to havo him removed to the So'dlers' Homo at Roseburg. James Ennls has trapped for a living along tho banks of the Wil lamotto for 50 years or more, al though he was at ono time a mem ber of tho pioneer police force of Portland. He fought Indians in the Rogue River and Nez Perce wars, and according to thoso who knew him, mado a good record. He never applied for a pension, be'ng too proud to ask asslstanco even from tho government, which holds out its hands to its old soldiers. He will, therefore, have difficulty In getting Into tho Soldiers' Home, as he took no care of his record and lost his discharge many years ago. His age is 77 years. Tho old soldier expresses himself as deeply grateful, but says he nev er will consent to go to the county poor farm, as a pauper. Ho feels as though he is entitled to shelter In the Soldiers' Htfme, but if denied admlss'on, will struggle on support ing himself by trapping until the end.
