He has had considerable favorable comment in the New York Times and other eastern papers. In New York he attended the famous Byjou theatre and for his evening's recitals in piano and organ improvising he received $100 a week. In Seattle Mr.

Rosner was under contract with the Washington theatre at $75 a week lor the same purpose. Mr. Kosner has a valuable asset not easily acquired and one that the public can participate in, to their enjoyment. An additional feature of Mr. Eosner's management is the little vaudeville sketches made up purely from raw material with the dictates" of talent guiding and breaking it in.

His innovation has met with a warm response by an appreciative public if the crowdsat every repeated performance are any criterion.

Monmouth is located about two miles west of Independence and fourteen miles from Salem, in Polk eountv. and normal.

The people of Monmouth appreciate having this school in their town and are doing all they can to show their appreciation. The present wooden cro3S walks, for instance, are being removed and replaced by cement, and everything possible is being done to show that the town is a "live one." the state, having good sewerage system and pure mountain water. The transportation facilities are all that could be desired, and much activity in real estate is being experienced, partly on account of the increased business that naturally follows the reopening of the oldest institution Li the state for the training of teaener the Monmouth IMPROVISES MUSIC TO SUIT HIS PICTURES PIPE ORGAN TO BE INSTALLED. is one of the most healthful cities of: The "Wexford, on Court street, was one additional playhouse added to Salem during the year 1910, and that it has been a credit to the city i3 to say tne very least.

The capital of the Polk County bank is $30,000, and during its entire history nothing but praise has ever been heard concerning it and its officers. Mr.

J. II. Hawley, its present head, has been with the institution for eighteen years and is himself considered one of the town's chief assets. Following are the officers: J. II.

Hawley, president; J. B. V. Butler, vice president; Ira C. Powell, cashier.

The deposits of the bank are very satisfactory and are steadily growing in volume. Interest is paid by this bank on time deposits. The accompanying cut gives a good idea of the exterior of the bank, with the officers in front. A splendid burglar-proof safe of the Mosler pattern, large vaults and all the latest machines and bankers' articles, combined with the well known safety and judicious conservatism of this institution, together with the leading part taken by its officers in any effoit that will better Monmouth, go to make the Polk County bank one of the best and most popular depositories in the county. lit.

This gentleman is without question a combination of professional dramatic attributes that would bid well for the success of any theatre or moving picture house that came under his control or management in any part of the globe. Seen by a special representative of the New Year Edition of the Statesman.

Mr. Rosner rather reluctantly parted with a few facts that should be recorded as a powerful insight into the ability of this gentleman to give the pleasure loving public the best that brains and money can acquire from some of the principal amusement centers of the world. Without being exactly a Pado-rewski, Mr. Rosner by his every day demonstrations has testified to his ability as a pianist of professional distinction. One of the enviable secrets of fiis success lays in the fact that he impro vises his musical renderings to the pictures thrown on the screen, in other words he is his own composer, adapting his musical renderings to the light and stated that the present day moving picture houses in large cities are abandoning the clap-trap musical accompani ments and Mr.

Rosner is deterniineu to supplant this colorless attraction by something to be letter enjoyed and more in harmony with the actual every day scenes in this world of ours as shown in moving pictures. He is well satisfied with this policy and the results are gratifying. Mr. Rosner statea that no expense will be spared in giving the people of Salem the best that money ean produce new ideas will be carried out faithfully and the best work shown, the charge will remain as heretofore, 10 cents. The Wexford has a brilliant future ahead and bids well for one of the most popular amusement houses in the Willamette valley.

At going to press Mr. Rosner receive! intelligence that the Estey pipe organ has left the factory at Battlesborough, Vermont, and will be installed on or about the 10th of this month, which will add greatly to the tone coloring pictures of heavy dramas. He has cancelled all engagements after the first of the year, and as soon as things can be shaped so that lie can get away he will take his family and leave for the southern city. Dr. Rice conducts his treatments at his home where he has everything fitted up to properly care for the patient.

A cure is made in but a short time, but Dr. Rice requires a few days with the patient until the effects of the cure are over and to constantly administer to the ease. At the invitation of the doctor, the writer took a careful survey of this new and beautiful addition to Salem's homes. The entrance hall, in its pleasing proportions, immediately impresses the visitor that he is in the home of a man who blends taste with convenient appointments. The rooms on either side are so arranged as to gain favor with any prospective seeker of a modern home.

THE EMBALMEE'S ART IN EGYPT.

To appreciate the motives which impelled the ancient Egyptians to invent the art of embalming it is necessary to throw our minds back nearly sixty centuries. Then Egyptians were in the habit of burying their dead in shallow holes scraped in the soil immediately beyond the limits of the narrow strip of cultivated land. As the result of placing the body in hot dry sand, it irequcntly happened that, instead or undergoing a process of decay, it became dessicatcd and preserved in an in-corrupted form for an indefinite time. The burial of valuable and useful objects with the dead naturally led to grave-robbing, which was already common in the earliest known prehistoric times in Egypt. The plundering or graves must have taught the people at large that the forces of nature were often sufficient to preserve a dead body.

WAS ERECTED AND OCCUPIED BY MOORES BROTHERS IN EARLY SIXTIES. In this way it became a part of the religion of the Egyptians to regard the preservation of the body as the condition of the attainment, of immortality. The early Egyptians learned that tha body, when placed in a coffin or buried in a rock tomb, usuany underwent decomposition. It was a widespread bo-ilef that the stone "ate the flesh" hence the word Artil-cial mummification, therefore, had its origin in an attempt to deprive the grave of its victory.

Yeaton Boon and TT Tlnnn The hub of the suoe business in Salem seems to rest with one of the oldest established shoe businesses, viz: the Oregon Shoe Co.

Dan Brunner, the affable and efficient manager of the company, in an interview with a representative of the special New Year Statesman, stated that the close of tne financial year of 1910 would pdace their progress at least 50 per cent over and above 1903. The company attributes its success to tne fact that they buy in the best markets for cash this enables them to acquire the highest grade of shoe merchandist at lowest possible discounts. Mr. Brunner cited as an instance of the confidence the public had in their business dealings the recent sale held in November. Some thousands of Salem people attended and many thousands of dollars worth of shoes went into the homes of residents of tne Willamette valley.

Mr. Brunner is assured that every bargain that was given will be indirectly responsible for bringing a bigger business during 1911. The company when they announce a sale give such values that attract the thrifty and value-loving public and at 1 the same time demonstrate the quality of goods sold by this pioneer house. Tha store is the largest in town the stock the largest and most diversified. Dur-! ing 1911 it is anticipated that some -improvements will be made in the interior, making this store of l.0 feet in depth the most attractive in tho whole of the Willamette valley.
