McLaln at 1231 Pacific street last Damage was estimated at 11500, of which 11000 was credited to loss of furniture and the balance for the destruction of the wooden Ing.

Firemen said the blaze probably began from an overheated wood stove, Mrs. Mcljaln left the house for a few minutes to visit a brother and returned to find It In ashen. The loss, It was reported, was covered by Insurance.

By BETH DYE SOMETHING unprecedented In local concert history happened last night when Theodore Strong, San- Francisco organist here to dedicate a new pipe organ, was greeted by a crowd twice the capacity of First Baptist church. The recltallst played his program to two audiences In succession, the first of which packed not only the auditorium and balcony) but- the vestibule, narthex, chancel and choir apace. The auditors numbered more than 2000. As the musician Is deservedly a fa- vorlte, the new organ a superb Instrument, and the acoustics of the church good, the evening more than justified the exceptional attendance. Audience Charmed While obviously in full command of his Instrument and equipped with high technical skill, the performer chose a program designed to win musical beauty for all classes of listeners, rather than one picked for exhibition purposes.

As a result'his audience, lay and technical, was enraptured. The numbers', Illustrated the organ'as a medium of delicately shaded 'melodic thought as well an a source of sound grandeur and dignity. of opening on massive chords, Mr. Strong chose the softest stop of the organ, proceeding from Pilgrims' Chorus from "Tannhauser" (Wanner), through a dozen or more sensitive numbers, quasi-descriptive, to the brilliant "Festival Toccata," his final and most demanding composltldn. Striking Number Possessing a sympathetic touch, Infused with expressive power, the "Pilgrims' Chorus" took lovely shape ns Mr.

Strong Interpreted the holy wanderers coming Into sight and wending their way toward the shrine. Ensemble playing with chords and harmonies rather than single melody, characterized the number. Daybreak passing Into a sunrise that coaxed awake birds and animals of tho forest was suggested In the second number, "Dawn" (Alfred T. Mason), a more melodic composition. Unusual Selection Probably most pictorial number was 12-mlnute selection, "Sketches of tho City," seven tone vignettes, by Nevln, ranging from a grandmother rocking to sleep on a porph- to an urchin whistling In the street, the latter a jubilant'number expressing a wholesome enjoyment of life.

"The Blind Man," In which can be felt a morose atmosphere, and tho tapping of a cane as the afflicted man walks down the street, Is another sketch, as Is "The Busy Mills," a spectacullar bit, ending on full organ. I Appropriately enough, the composition closes with "Evening." "Autumn" (Johnston) and the tone poem from the suite "Lyric Washington" (Shure) were perfectly finished, the former bright and happy, and the latter In flowing vein. Tenor Soloist Oba'dlah's lovely tenor aria, "If With All Your Hearts" from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," was sung with the depth of feeling and fervor the selection demands by Henry H. Burton, accompanied by Mr. Strong.

The accuracy and of tone required for Its proper performance were WAGYJURNER AT Farm Directors Offer Views Upon Legislation Now Pending in State The Kern County Farm Bureau feels tjmt both Senator J. I. Wngy and Assemblyman Rodney Turner of this county are In complete understanding of the needs of agriculture In Kern and will give this district adequate representation In the Legislature. These two state officials met with directors of the Farm Bureau today to discuss Informally with them the needs of Kern county and valley agriculture. Members of the Kern Bureau are opposing any attempt to shift tax burdens from other entitles to agriculture which they believe Is already burdened to the point of collapse.

President T. M. Martin said today that he believed'Senator Wagy and Assemblyman Turner had a fine understanding of the bureau needs here, following the Informal discussion. Defining the policy of the farm bureau In connection with pending legislation, the directors, adopted the following resolution today: "There are plans well under way In the California Legislature to shift an additional burden of taxes to agriculture. "Agriculture today Is carrying more than Its just share of the tax burden.

"Therefore, be It resolved that we urge our legislative representatives, Senator J. I. Wngy and Assemblyman R. L. Turner, to do all within their power to prevent the shifting of state taxes to counties, or state taxes to the different agricultural commodities." Theft of several hundred dollars worth of household furniture- nnd other articles, from'the home of-Engineer William M.

Balling at the Western Borax Company's plant near Trona, was partly solved today with the arrest of D. A. "Cowboy" Parker, well- known resident of Bnrstow, Deputy Sheriff Al Renfro reported. Deputy Sheriff Renfro said that some of the furniture and electrical appliances taken from the Balling home was recovered when Parker was taken into custody.

forthcoming. Built around "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" and three other beloved sacred melodies, an arrangement by Mr. Strong entitled "Sabbath Memories" was rich In reminiscence, color and devotional spirit. The first half- of his program concluded with Ktnder's almost overwhelming "Jubilate Amen" which left no question of the majestic tones which may be persuaded from the organ. Scene "In Winter" (Ernst Kullak), a Russian number depleting a winter scene In the steppes, was plnyed with Imagination.

Written In a minor key with'the exception of a major strain, It Is a wlerd and mournful creation, as desolate as the picture It suggests, ending with the howling winds blowing across Siberia. More familiar was Tschalkowskv's Andante Cantablle" from the Fifth Symphony, played to the second audience last evening. Its theme of exceptional beauty and serious development, as well as Its climaxes lost nothing at the hands of the performer. Other Numbers Lee' Roberts, one of California's best known and loved composers, a personal friend of Mr. Strong, was represented on the program with "Meditation," a quiet, prayerful number.

The wlldness of Palestine In the days of Jesus, with an Kgyptlan orchestra oboe effect and simulations of the old harp, were provided In tho bold "Where Wild Judea Stretches Far," by R. S. Stoughton, modernls- tlo organ In direct contrast was the quiet and satisfying Felton number, "Sundown," which preceded the final number. Mr. Strong was presented to the audience by the Rev.

Prank. O. Belden, pastor of the church. No encores were played as the, double concert was a performance of two and one-half hours. The only iinprogmmmed selection was the offertory, "My Task" (Ashford).

Lists of groups of flower lovers are being supplied to the railroad officials, who will do contact work In Interesting thorn In tho trips. Prospects Good Local stage and automobile carriers will handle passengers to and from the fields, It Is announced. Due to the- largo amount of rain received during tfte past month, and to the fact that the rains are later this spring, prospects now arc for more beautiful showing of flowers than has been seen hero for many years.

An other Indication Is the fact that some popples were picked as early ns six weeks ago.
