PAGE FIFTEEN 5 AN BERNARDINO DAI JN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1930 HEW WALLS 10 SOCIETY Curbing Redlands Zanja LI I IK NEW BUILDING FIGLIS SOAR, WEEK IS BUSY ROOTERS i GO TO GAME AT ORANGE TOWN OLD SOUTHERN MELODIES EOR SERVICE PLAN ORAINAGEDITGH Western Entrance to City Will Be Improved Boulevard and Park Projects Discussed Before Redlands fully awakens to the situation, the century-old Mill creek zanja west of First street will have become a walled-in and efficient storm drain instead of an unsightly ravine. Improvement of the ditch is being carried on by City Engineer George S. Hinckley. Quietly but rapidly, the engineering department is proceeding with a project that has been advocated for years by the Redlands chamber of commerce and West State street interests. The latter have maintained that a better entrance to the city from the west would improve State street property values but that State street can not be improved until the zanja is confined within a narrower course and the larger part of the gulch filled in.

EntirA Apa9 Is 5eing Filled in Walls, starting at First street, have been built westward for several hundred feet. Only the heavier portions of the walls are being built at present. Later they will be made to correspond in height with the portion of the zanja that passes under the business district, providing Redlands with its principal drain for storm water. Outside the area, through which the narrower canal is to be routed, tons of dirt, stones and debris are being poured into the ravine. Eventually the entire area, which divides the industrial district from the choice Buena Vista residential district, will be available for buildings.

Sylvan Boulevard Widening Is Near While this work proceeds, the engineer's office is preparing to start the widening and realignment of Sylvan boulevard, paralleling the upper part of the zanja. Finishing touches are being put on the map that contemplates the widening and also provides a master plan for developing of the area that lies around Sylvan park and the University of Redlands. Sylvan boulevard will be 36 feet wide and the improvement will be carried out, wherever possible, without the removal of trees. Property on the northeast corner of Church street and Sylvan boulevard has been purchased by the city, so that a better entrance to the boulevard can be obtained. East from Church street, the boulevard will iollow the present road to a large xtent clear through to Judson which is as far as the improvement will be taken just at this time, hut there will be some Above is a new view of the Redlands zanja, looking eastward to the First Street bridge from the present terminus of the newly installed stone walls.

In the bottom picture, the zanja is shown in the Texas street vicinity farther west, where tons of dirt and debris are being hauled in to provide building sites instead of the unsightly gulch. REDLANDS Famed Artist Has Long Music Career Percy Grainger, pianist, who will appear in concert in the Redlands bowl Friday evening, Aug. 15, has lived a musical career from childhood, and it is little wonder that he has achieved the noteworthy place he holds in musical circles the world over. The artist was born In Brighton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, July 8, 1882. His mother was also born in Australia, while his father came from a north English family.

Grainger owes any artistic gifts very directly to nis motner. ier family wbs athletic, outdoor and agricultural in tendency, but as a young girl she naturally developed unusual love for and concentration upon music and literature, teaching herself the piano very early. She taught Grainger music very early and sat at the piano with him daily for two hours from his fifth to his tenth year. Then he studied with Louis Pabst for two years. At the age of 12 he appeared much in concert and earned money to go to Europe to study, his mother with him.

For six years in Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, he studied the piano under James Kwast, the great Hollander, still living; teaching and playing in Berlin. During these years his mother earned for them both, giving Eng lish lessons. In 1901 Grainger went to live in London, followed by concert tours in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Scandinavia, Germany, Hol land, Denmark, Russia, Switzerland and Austria, until 1914. Grainger first appeared exten sively as a composer in 1911, con ducting his own music and soon becoming the most frequently per formed of orchestral composers of Anglo-Saxon stock in England. Long before that (in 1899-1902) he had done experimental work as a composer, chiefly in irregularly-barred rhythm, that was widely adapted and developed by English composers.

Grainger and his mother came to America in 1914, and after a recital in New York early in 1915, became as famous on this side as he had been in Europe. In June, 1917, hearing that there was a dearth of trained musicians in the United States army bands, he joined the army as a bandsman and stayed in the service till early in 1919. He served for one year under Rocco Resta, the brilliant young conduc tor, in the Fifteenth band, coast- artillery corps, and was then ordered to Governor's Island, to In struct army band leaders at the army music school, under Captain Clappe, the latter one of the world's greatest authorities on band formation. Grainger say3 he learned more as a composer during his two years in the United States armv than at anv other time of his life. He was always interested in wind instruments and while in the service played oboe, saxophone, bassoon and sarrusophone.

In 1918, while a soldier, he became an American citizen. As a concert pianist Grainger has always been a pioneer, introducing works by unknown or little known writers and playing them until they became household words in many countries. Thus between 1901 and 1905 he introduced the piano works of Debussy, Ravel, Cyril Scott and Albeniz into Australia, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Holland, etc. Later on he introduced into America the piano concerto of Frederick Delius and the concertino by the Ameri can composer John Alden Carpen ter. In 1924 he conducted the Initial American performances of two of the largest and most important works of Frederick Delius, the great English composer.

Grainger is a great believer In "musical reciprocity," urging that the various peoples of the English- speaking world should know and support each other's music, as the various German-speaking peoples supported each other's music and formed a cultural unit. As part of this belief in Anglo-Saxon musical reciprocity, Grainger has introduced many American composers (notably Nathaniel Dett, John Al den Carpenter, Fannie Dillon, Dan iel Gregory Mason, Howard Brock- way) to European audiences, while on the other hand he has familiar ized American audiences with work3 of such British composers Cvril Scott. Frederick Delius, Balfour Gardiner, Roger Quilter. Around 1905 he did pioneer work for some of Grieg's less known compositions, thereby endearing himself much to the great Norwegian, who became a second father to Grainger until his death in 11)07. Grainger's compositions cover a great many strongly contrasting types of musical expression, ranging from short, snappy, popular small pieces such as his "Country Gardens," and "Gay, But Wistful," on the one hand, to large works of a grandiose and austere character, on the other, such as his "Marching Song of Democracy," (produced at Worcester, in 1917).

"The Warriors," "Music to an Imaginary Ballet" (first given at the Norfolk, Festival), "The Bride's Tragedy," "English Dance," (produced at Evanston North Shore Festival), and "Hill Song No. 1" (produced at New York City in 1925). Birthday Party at Park Is Enjoyed The birthday of Misg Nettle Hos-king was the occasion for a delightfully appointed party in Sylvan park in Redlands Friday evening, when Mrs. J. E.

Jolly Dozen Club Holds Wiener Bake The Jolly Dozen club of Redlands held a wiener bake in the Santa Ana wash Friday evening, building a huge bonfire to roast the wieners for the picnic supper which was topped with watermelons. Marsh- mallows were roasted over the coals.

S. South worth of Greenspot, who have had their cousin, Miss Kathleen Patterson, and her friend, Miss Eileen Por ter of Vancouver, B. as guests for the past week, have entertain ed with several motor trips and picnic dinners during their visit. Last Sunday the Southworths and their guests motored to Long Beach and Wilmington for the day, enjoying a picnic dinner at noon. On Sunday they motored to Forest Home and spent the day with Mr.

and Mrs. M. T. Gibson of High land, who have recently purchased a cabin there. Several shorter trips to Arrowhead Hot Springs, a trip up through the Cajon pass into the desert to give the visitors a glimpse of the world famous Joshua trees and a picnic supper in Sylvan park were included in the week's enter tainment.

The Misses Patterson and Porter, who have visited in, San Diego and other cities of interest during their visit in Southern California are planning to sail for Vancouver soon, 1 Earl Veale to Claim Bride This Month The marriage of Earl Veale, son of Mr. ana Mrs. William Veale, of 584 East II street, Colton, and Miss Frances Pauline Roberts, of Los An geles is the occasion of much inter est among Colton friends. The mar riage will take place at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church, in Los Angeles, on Sunday, Aug. 24 Invitations to attend the wedding were received in the Hub City this week and many friends of the bridegroom are expecting to attend, Mr.

Veale attended the Colton schools and was for a short time employed by the Pacific Fruit Ex press Co. in Colton. After being transferred to the Los Angeles of fice the young man made his home there and It was in that city that he met Miss Roberta The members of the Ladles' auxiliary of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, with their families will form a party of about 100 at the Colton municipal park on Mon day night Mrs. Charles Bird Colton, will be in charge of the ar rangements. A picnic supper will will 3 changes made.

It will be neces- Bary to take out a few trees, and Colton Boys Play to Gallery of Nearly 2,000 in Decisive Game With Riverside Conceded the championship of the American division of the Southern California night ball league, the Colton Reds will go to Anaheim Monday night for a return exhibition game which will give the Orange county fans an opportunity to see how the game is played in the coastal belt. Along with them will travel a couple of hundred of Colton fans, one contingent going in a bus which ha3 been chartered, the reservations being completed yesterday by Ground Manager Harry Mc-Adams. The Colton nine vanquished Anaheim in a tilt at the Hub City diamond two weeks ago, and while the Mother Colony players have not been able to get on the top rung of the National league ladder, nevertheless they have humbled both Santa Ana and Long Beach, which will fight it out to determine which shall meet Colton for the Southern California playoffs. Expect to Face Star Twirler In order to give Rudy Montgom ery the chance to test his nerve against a hangup aggregation, Manager Hubert Finlay probably will give him the call to go to the pitcher's box, and may give Venn Botts a chance to work a few innings also. Ochoa, the nifty flinger of Anaheim squad, was not brought to Colton, and the Reds would like to see what they could do to his classy assortment of deceptive pitches tomorrow night.

Night ball on the short diamond has "caught on" with the fans of this valley. Any skeptics should have been at the Colton-Riverside contest Friday night, trying to buy a seat late. Upwards of 1,200 ducats were old, and probably another 800 persons sat in their cars or lined the outfield wire fence. Riverside draws that many on a good night, and Santa Ana packs twice that many into its bowl. The boys who are doing their stuff for Manager Finlay can have anything in Colton they want, outside of the railroad station.

Chicken dinners are on tap for them, they swim and play golf after the games, and prizes offered by various merchants Friday night were distributed evenly among the players and substitutes. Cash Collected For Present Now McAdams, Finlay, Henry De Armond and Fred Peachey, the latter being Venn Botts' boss at the P. E. station in San Bernardino, are getting up a cash pot. It will go towards buying the lanky pitching ace of the Reds a present soon, when he lines up before the altar with an attractive San Bernardino girl.

Three more games remain to be played before their American league schedule is finished by the Reds. To make it absolutely impossible for another team to figure in the championship, Colton must win one more game. Wednesday, the Reds go to Pomona and they travel to Corona Friday night. The league season will be concluded when Byrn Mawr plays at Colton on Aug. 20.

While the crowds are noticeable by their absence at the Y. M. C. A. hard court in San Bernardino in the early spring, when most of the Reds play on the various city league teams, scores of Gate City residents are among the regular fans at the Colton diamond for the home games.

For, of the 12 players on the Reds' squad, 10 reside in San Bernardino, Milt Noriega and Buddy Weiser claiming Colton as their home town, and the 10 others as their fondest place to be two nights a Milt was alone until little Miles left the highway department at San Bernardino and moved to Washington, D. giving Weiser a chance to take over the second sack, after getting his training on the high school squad coached by Donald H. Mcintosh, the newly elected Colton principal. Special Music Is Feature of Event Euodia chapter, World Wide guild of the Redlands First Baptist church, met with Ruth Prescott on West Highland avenue Thursday evening.

Permits for Homes Are Issued; City Council Talks of Plan For Arcade Structure During the last week Redlands granted $15,575 worth of building permits, indicating that August will continue the building pace that made July a record month.

Nine permits were issued during the week by Building Inspector M. E. Armstrong. The largest permit for the month so far was to A. R.

Wilson for the new home he will erect at the cor- of Buena Vista and Cypress avenue. The cost of the new home is to be $8,000, and it is to be built of brick with stucco, two stories and seven rooms. The other new home started dur- Ing the week Is to be owned by Lee Woods, and built on College avenue, six rooms of stucco construction to cost $4,500. Council Talks of Gregory Building As another feature of a week that was active in building, the city council wa3 asked to consider the feasibility of an arcade over the sidewalk at the northwest corner of State and Orange streets', where Arthur Gregory is to build a two-story building. The scheme would permit Mr.

Gregory to build out to the curb line, above the first floor, thus retaining most of the space that he is giving under the plan to widen Orange street 10 feet The council is not expected to ap prove the plan, and Mr. Gregory is not expected to be insistent. Arcade Would Be Of Spanish Design Architects for the Gregory build ing contended that the arcade would give the Redland3 business district its first typically Spanish building, similar to ones built in Santa Barbara, A ruling will be handed down by the council, providing final plans for the building incorporate the arcade scheme. Mr. Gregory stated that he has decided to finish some suites of offices on the second floor of the building.

"This is to be a building of which Redlands will be proud," he said, "for it is to be class and the design is a most attractive one. It Is to be finished right up to the highest standard, and although it will only be two stories now, it will form an integral part of a plan for a larger building." Fee Collection Schedules to Be Discussed by Realty $en Schedules that are used by River side and San Bernardino realty boards are to be obtained and discussed before the Redlands realty board takes any action on the pro posed upward revision of its own schedule. The matter was discussed at Friday's meeting of the board. Vice-President George Fowler pre sided, in the absence of President J. Mitchell, who was reported to be indisposed.

W. H. Johnson thought that an endeavor should be made to have fee3 equalized in certain zones, and advocated the adoption of the multi ple listing system as the way to overcome most of the difficulties that beset tho matter of payments to be made for services performed. Fraternal Party is Postponed for Game Because many of the members are planning to attend the Anaheim baseball game there will be no entertainment at the Odd' Fellows hall, in Colton, on Monday night, according to an announcement made yesterday by Grover Grimsley, one of the members.

1 Business Men Return From Vacation Trip Chester NuckolU and Henry De-Armond of Colton returned yesterday from a week's vacation trip to Mona, Grant and Gull lakes, where they fished. some orange trees win nave 10 ue taken in one or two places, but every effort ha3 been made to align the new road without taking trees. New West Side Park Considered The new boulevard will fit beautifully into the scheme for the development of Sylvan park and the campus of the University of Red-lands. The development at Sylvan park has been largely completed now, with the putting in of lawns south of the boulevard, but there Is some work to be done there. At the university, drives and walks to connect with Sylvan boulevard and to lead through the campus have been plotted and these will be built at once.

Planting along the boulevard and also on the campus has been planned, and this drive along tha zanja will be one of the most beautiful in Redlands. The city council is giving consideration to Park Superintendent W. T. Ferguson's suggestion for a new park on the city's property between Oriental avenue and the Santa Fe tracks, east of Texas street. That is in the same general area that is being affected by the zanja improve ment and is being considered as a boon to the Mexican populace there.

Such a park could be developed et a comparatively small cost and would serve a section of the city in need of its own park it has been pointed1 out. There has been considerable complaint recently because of the action of some Mexican boys at Sylvan park which resulted in plans for setting aside a section of Sylvan park, ly lng between Sylvan boulevard and High avenues, around the wading pool for the Mexican people. This plan has not worked out as well as was expected but it is be lieved that the park on the city property as planned by Mr. Fergu son could be built at a small cost and relieve the congestion in Syl-van park. It would be built for the use of the Mexican people, could have lovely lawns and shade trees, prob ably a small pool and1 other fea tures to make it an ideal place for them to gather.

There would be plenty of water right at hand from the wells which the city has placed there. Honor Bright Meeting Is Changed a Week Because the Rebekah orphanage meeting will be held at the Colton park on Wednesday the members of the Honor Bright society of Colton have postponed their meeting a week and it will be held on Fri day, Aug. 22, at the Colton munici pal park.
