The Harrington Beview says of Miss Miller: "She is a musician of rare ability and i8 heralded here as Oregon's young nightingale. Her voice is a beautiful lyric soprano of wide range end bird-like clearness. In addition to a number of years of serious musical work in Oregon she has had three years of uninterrupted study with great sing ers of the cast. For the past two years a part of her time has been given to the concert stage where she has met with unqualified success." The Lisbon Herald says: "Miss Mil ler possesses a voice of unusual range and power- And her program was ex cellently chosen to show its qualities. The Drosrain began with a group of gongs including "The Star," by Rogers and Horsmen; "Bird of the Wilder ness," which was given with fine iuter- nretation. "The Balletella" irom l'a- glicaci wa-s by all means the most bril liant of the evening. Miss Miller's ar tistic conception of this great song her discriminating sense of values ana Mil liancy of execution showed conclusively the carefulness and excellence of her work." Miss Miller will appear at the Grand tomorrow evening, June 1. Market Was Liyelv and Prices Higher New York, May 31. The New York Evening Sun financial review today said : Wall Street resumed business today after tho Memorial day recess in a most cheerful frame of mind, which was reflected in active trading in the stock market and a rising sca'.e or prices throughout the list. The indus trial issues were particularly brisk un der the leadership of United States Steel, which again achieved a . new high record price tor ail time at above 13. The railroad shares were in good de mand at intervals, with Heading the leader, but transactions were on a very modest svale as compared with tho in dustrials. The steel group lead easily through out. United States Steel was bought in large blocks, carrying it up nearly three points to 136 5-8. Crucible Steel crossed 82 and Bains of two to three points were general in the remainder of the industrial list, with such fea tures as Baldwin Locomotive, Indus trial Alcohol, the paper , and tobacco stocKs. Mexican Petroleum. Central Leather. American Sugar and others- There was but moderate demand for shipping shares. Net changes in the coppers were narrow. IRA VAIL WAS SECOND Cincinnati, Ohio, May 31. Cincinnati speedway officials today officially an nounced that Ira Vail had finished scc-ond-in-th B50 mile speedway race Wed nesday instead of Gaston Chevrolet. Chevrolet was placed third. It was found that he had lost a lap in the big race. London, May 31. --British casualties published during May totalled today 114,118 officers and men killed wound ed and missing- The details showed: Killed Wounded Missing Officers Loo 3,7(12 828 Men i 21,838 To. 71 8 6,420 Totals 27,3!0 79,480 7,248 The figures above are probably from lists announced by the war office aud probably include some casualties for April as well as May. General F. B. Maurice, director general of operations, recently declared the casualties in the present British offensive had been fif ty per cent less than thoso of the Som me drive. In the threo mouths of this offensive the British losses were 307,- 109nn average of 102,300 per month. If the 114,118 listed in the above Lon don dispatch can be taken as a month's total, it would seem that the losses in the Arras-St. Quentiii drive have been higher than those of the Sonime drive, rather than less, as announced. No official announcements of total casualties in the newest British drive have been made, nor has there been any previous unofficial list as above. The offensive began early in April. It is possible, however, that the figures as stated may have been published in the month of May, but made to include all casualties since the start of the drive so that the total may readily be for two moathg instead of one.
