Local Operatic Stars Were Splendid
in Their Several Parts and
Much Appreciated.
LONGER FRUIT SEASON
HEREAFTER IN PORTLAND

The concert given Christmas night
by the Medford band was a high
Cold StoraQe Thoroughly Tested and
Is Shown tt Be Great
Success.
Hereafter Portland will hnvo n
much longer fruit season than dnr-
.1ft nnrfommnnA from first to lnL S former years, says the Journal.
tm, w r tU J Cold stornpo will be generally util
given by tho band, tho second part
being two vaudovillo sketches, two
vocal selections by Henry Guuson
and three scenes from Cavilleria
Rusticaua. Tho numbers played by
the band wore quito pretentious, two
numbers being from Wagner operas
and one grand selection from Meyer
beers Hugonots. As n rule enter
tainments given by local talent es
cape without criticism, but the per
formance of Christmas night is
worthy of critical review.
Chnrlcs Haxelrig, tho director, is
a musician of undisputed merit, and
in the Fortissoimo passages, espec
ially noticeable in tho Tannehauser
March, was all that could be desired,
but a little more attention to the
lighter effects would be an Improve
ment. The personnel of the band la
good, individually they arc good mu
sicians. They play in tune, which
is saying a good deal, bnt there was
an absence of tho delicate shading
which they frequently played u their
outdoor concerts last summer. In
fact, the program might bo some
what improved by adding a littlo of
Gounod and, Verdi. The Medford
band must take its placo as tho first
band in the state, and to do so means
frequent and rigid rehearsals, and
tho citizens should help to support
this organization, for it is one of
Mcdford's assets.
Walters and Claremont.
The musical sketch by Walters and
Claramont was a splendid success.
Walters is really a great tenor, and
it is safe to say that when he takes
the road, as he expects to in the near
future, for a vaudeville tour, thero
will bo no such tenor on the vaude
ville stage. Miss Clarcmont is pret
ty and vivacious and acts well. In
comparing Walters with the tenors
now on teh American stage, I think
it is safe to say that he has no su
perior as a dramatic tenor. He per
haps lacks the delicate shading of
Caruso and other famous operatic
stars, but in a dramatic climax
where it requires voice and intensity
of emotion, theer is none of them
got Walters beaten.
A very pleasing sketch was ren
dered by Haight and Dean, entitled
"A Misfit Meeting." Both Mr.
Haight and wife are' exceptionally
good actors. They handle their com
edy in a manner that never gives
offense. They kcyt the audience in
a roar of laughter from first to last
and by the way, Mr. Haight is also
a Medfordite, and the owner of a
ranch out near the 401. We don't
have to go outside of Medford for
anything in the way of talent. Mr.
naight is living in Medford at tho
preesnt time ,nnd Mrs. Height's
mother is a member of their family.
Mrs. Taylor is one of the veteran
nctresses, having supported Boooth
and' Barrett in tho old stock days.
She has also played with Thomas
Keen and John McCulough. Shells
a well preserved lady and a most in
teresting conservntionnlist.
Mrs. Bertha Taylor is building nn
nddition to her home. '
ized by botK fruit shippers n
mission merchauts for tho saving of
supplies that would otherwise be
forced upon an overful and therefore
unnpprcciativo market.
In former seasons tho glut of fruit
has been so complete nt times in the
wholesale market that ninny tons
havo annually gone to waste which
could have been saved had proper fa
cilitics been at hand.
Portlnnd has several storage plants
at this time and thero is talk of ad
ditional plants being constructed if
demand warrants. It has been found
that fruit, ench as peaches, plums,
carries And grapes can be kept ir.
etorago until such a time as the de
mand grows better.
During the past week some peach
es grown at Ashland were withdrawn
fcom tho storage for the Christmas
trade and were found to bo ia excel
lent condition. A snort tune ago a
prominent fruit dealer who has an
orchard at Milwaukee, withdrew soni
cherries and grapes from storaga, and
the excellence of their quality was
commented upon by the fruit trade
in general.

You are ready und willing to adont
any new things in 7our louse which
can be proved n source of auditionnl
comfort, and cheer and health.
We want yon io Uink about a few
facts regarding ulootriaity, which,
wo believe, entitles it to your onrnost
consideration.
We .know that if jo once realise
what electricity will do to make your
home more homelike, more cheerful,
more charming, you wil need no per
suasion you will xnxUt on electrici
ty.
W' know that if we. can show you
whero elootricity will tighten your
liirdfj.rt and make your !'fo more liv
ap'a, jou will neid un urging to adjpS
it.
In the first place, let me talk to
you on light.
Etaririo Uftfctfam In the Hm.
A well lighted home dispels the
gloom and invites hubby, nnd the
grown-up boys and girls to fatay in
evenings.
Nothing conduces so much to
cheerfulness and social congeniality
no a brilliantly and pleasantly-lighted
fireside.
And nothing quite realizes that
happy condition so consu
mately as electric illumination.
You may talk about other means
of artificial light, but after all, the
a happy, satisfied homo oirclo.
If you want to drive your boys
and girls out on the streets evenings
give them a dimly, gloomily lighted
home.
If yon want to keep them in even
ings give them- a pleasantly lighted
home.
Electricity plays it part, with no
uncertain hand, in the welfare of our
boys and girls.
Bnt that isn't tho wholo story by
any manner or means.
Electric lighting in your home is
neat, handsome, nnd clean. It dif
fuses n stoady, even light, unaffected
by draughts, and offering the easiest
light, known, on the eye for reading.
No shadows.
Unlike all other lights, it casts no
shadows, whatever, but sheds it bril
lianoy in all directions, unimpeded by
fixtures or brackets. No heat.
And in the summer time, yon who
havo folt the withering heat in the
home, have not thought kindly of
yonr gasoline or lamp light, which
has seemed to join forces with the
hot temeprntnre in an oifort to make
life well nigh unbearable.
Electric lighting instend of heating
the house, gives you n cool, refresh
ing luminosity that can be booh, not
folt, that can be appreciated not
condemned.
