ONE of the leading figures in America's musical life, is
Andreas Dippel, Administrative Manager of the Metropolitan
Opera Company of New York.
In a recent letter Mr. Dippel says in commenting on
THE WEBER
' "My own high opinion of the Weber I find is confirmed by
the individual artists of the Opera Company, who have frequently
expressed to me their appreciation of your magnificent instru
ments. "I cannot conceive of any higher endorsement of a Piano than
to be selected and used by an organization composed of such dis
tinguished artists as is the Metropolitan Opera Company. When
I hear the Weber played, I do not wonder that it has been the
choice of this great company for. ten years."
Are you hesitating about which Piano you would prefer to
have in your drawing roomt We invite you to visit our establish
ment and let us show you the Piano that the foremost musicians
of the world prefer to any other The Weber.
Antonio SoottL world famous baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera Co., appearing at the Auditorium Evening of October 30th,
has selected for his accompaniment tHa famous Weber Piano. -

SOME NEW WONDERS ON TRACK
aaasBjsasam
After Wlaalaa- th Half Mile taam
ploashlp, Ha la Sala ta Have
Brakes the C-00-Yarel
World's Record.
The season's campaign In the far west,
even If It served no other purpose, brought
te light the champion middle distance run
ner of the year and perhaps the fastest
man ever seen on American soil. This crack
Is Clarence Edmundson of the University
of Idaho, who won the national half mile
title at SeattLs by about eight yards from
Harry Glssing of th New York Athletic
club, and incidentally equalled th cham
pionship record of 1 minute, 6S4 seconds.
A tall, lean racer, the Idaho man went
about his work with plenty of confidence,
and from th orack of th pistol showed
that he wan out to win. In the draw for
position he chanced to get the pole and
aligned out In the order named were Mil
ler, Olympic club; Glssing, New York Alh
letlo club; Ramey, Chicago Athletic asso
ciation and Glarner, Olymplo club.
After - they broke away there was a bit
of a scramble for the lead, but at the first
turn Edmundson had It, and he went down
the backstretch at a fearful clip and drew
right out from the field. Passing by the
qaarter post he was leading by six or
seven yards. The time there was 0:63 Vi,
the fastest fltst quarter ever run in a fast
half. When Kllpatrlck made the record of
1:63S In the international meeting of 1896
the first quarter was don In 0.64, and
then he was not quite up with the leaders.
However, as Edmundson tore along the
wise ones predicted he would blow up on
the homestretch, but they were wrong, and
though he was tiring he crossed the line in
pretty fair shape.
Gisslng's time was 1:56, which can be
put down as a first rate performance when
it is considered that he had a weak leg
and had not time enough to rest after the
long Journey to Seattle. In discussing the
merits of the performance subesquently
the critics were of the opinion that Ed
mundson's figures were as good as the
record allowing for the difference In con
dition. Kllpatrlck had a perfeot day and
a perfect track, and while the Seattle
track could be improved, the runners were
surely hampered by a strong wind on the
home stretch, and worse still, It was sur
charged with a White, dustlike lime, which
blew into the eyes and mouths of the
runners.
Whether the wind and dust would
amount to 1 Seconds cannot now be ac
curately determined, but it Is certain that
Edmundson Is a great man and on a fast
track In favorable weather should surely
take a fall out of Kllpatrlck'a mark. Ed
mundson represented the Seattle Athletic
club, but on his shirt be sported the winged
I, the emblem of the Idaho seat of learn
ing. About a week after the champion
ship he was reported to have run the 600
yards in the world's record time ofl:10H.
but so far it Is unknown whether or not
the timing and other conditions of a record
breaking performance were correct. That
Edmundson Is also fast for a quarter mile
there Is no doubt, for he ran a fine race in
the last 40 yards of th -mile relay cham
pionship and after the half mile had been
taken out of him. He did 60H seconds, a
feat which did its share toward winning
the race for the Seattle Athletic club.
But If Edmundson proved the sensation,
the real curiosity, of the championship
meet was Harry McLean, ' a .Navajo In
dian, from Phoenix, Ariz., who managed
to capture the gold medal for the five miles,
and Into the bargain defeated- F. G. Bellars
of the New York Athletic club, last year's
winner. The advent of the Navajo on th
path was more of an accident than a
hankering after athletic glory. A few
weeks prior to the championships the Elks
club of Phoenix held an athletic carnival
and McLean ran away from everything In
the distance race and, most Wonderful of
all, he hoofed' It along In his bare feet.
Then and 'there the Elks decided that he
was good enough to try for national honors
and he was sent to Seattle. Meantime he
had learned that spiked shoes were an ad
vantage in traveling afoot, though It was
hard to persuade him that the spikes would
not hold him to the ground.
Only four men went to the starting line,
but the grind developed into a duel be
tween Bellars and the Indian. They took
turns at the pace-making, and whenever
the Indian led the crowd set up a yell like
a million wolves. That th screaming
pleased the redskin was evident, for as he
came around in front of the stand his wiry
black hair seemed to stick higher in the
breeze and there was more life to his lope,
For with a lope he sped along like a
brave on a hot trail after a paleface. Up
to four and a half miles It was a ding dong
affair between the pair and then Bellars
tried to shake off the Navajo. His effort
was in vain, for though the New Yorker
sprinted in the last lap the Indian shot
by him on the home stretch and won by
ten yards. A great crowd surged around
the Indian on his way to the dressing
room to offer their congratulations, but
It was all Greek to him and he answered
the huzzahs with only a grunt. He could
not speak a word of English. ,
The week, following the championships
there was an invitation meet at Frisbo
given by the Olympic club, and a three
mile special event was put on so that
McLean and Bellars could fight their
battle over again. There was a new
comer in the race in the person of Joseph
BaUard of the Boston A. A., whe won the
mile at Seattle and who has In him stamina
enough for any distance from one to five
miles. Previous to the three miles Ballard
had won the mile in slow time and there
was some surprise when he toed the mark
alongside of Bellars and the Indian. As
the race progressed It was apparent that
the two palefaces were using their brain
against the redskin. The pace was slow
and McLean was not wise enough to forco
It. Ballard and Bellars were waiting for
the final sprint and it came when the bell
sung out the last lap. Both, tore by the
Indian and on the backstretch Ballard
pulled away from Bellars. The speed of
the miller told at the critical time and the
Boston runner won as he liked. The In
dian let forth a loud series of grunts after
be finished, for then It dawned on him
that he was fooled.
Of all the big cities In America none
possesses a finer climate for track and
field sports than San Francisco. There an
athlete could train all the year round, or at
least he could keep In trim all the time,
there being no oft season with frost or
sno'jr to stop his practise. A proof that
winter and summer Is much alike la seen
In the New Year's Day swim of th Olym
pic club members at Ocean beach. It U
an annual cusipra to walk out to the
Golden Gate park and afterward take a
dtp In the ocean. Whatever has been done
around Frisco toward the advancement of
track and field sports Is to the credit of
the Olympic club with a history as old a
any club in America, but it has the tough
est sort of a Job for there is not much
athletic enthuslsm around Frisco.

might stir matters, especially If there was
a series of dual meets which would event
ually win the attention of the public Not
long ago a now club was organized, called
the Alliance Athletic club, and y went off
with a good boom at the start anu drew a
fine membership, but It was soon overrun
with a squad of semi-professional boxers
and foot ball players. It was rapidly going
down hill when W. H. Kerrigan became
chairman of the advisory committee and
gave the back door to the professional ele
ment. Just now the club Is In a fair way
to cut some figure in athletics. There is
an Irish A. A. C. in 'Frisco, but iti aim la
the propagation of Gaelic hurling and foot
ball and other Celtlo sports.
At the present tlm the Olymplo club
occupies temporary quarters on the site
of the club house which was destroyed by
the quake In 1906. Additional land has
been purchased and It is the intention of
the members that there shall be a bigger
and better building than the old one Inside
of a couple of years. On the club's roster
today are some first rate athletes, Ralph
Pose and Alfred Plaw being the two fore
most. Thpn there Is Dave Martin, a top
notcher at the running high Jump. In the

Fin Specimens of Workmanship In
' Connection with Reclamation
Projects.
' Experts of many countries are marvelling
at the great roads which the United States
government has constructed and Is now
constructing on the reclamation projects In
th far western states and ' territories.
More than 000 miles of the most excellent
highways that it Is possible for man to pro
duce have been completed and are In dally
uA These, of course, do not Include the
byroads leading to many farms or the
many other roads being used for the time
being until the macadamized kind can bo
bullti ' . ,
The dry farmers have had good horses
and vehicles since the reclamation work be
gan seven years ago, and these good roads
are enabling them to haul . their products to
the towns and railroad stations and to
send their children to school. They regard
them a th most important of all aids to
progress and prosperity.. Many, of these
pioneers own automobiles, and it is no un
usual sight to see, on Saturdays or Sun
days, a dosen or more motor cars of the
latest designs In any of tho towns of the
older projects. It Is Interesting to note
that Uncle 8am has only fairly begun tho
building of roads In this newly developed
country, and that In a very few years the
mileage will be reckoned In thousands
where It Is now counted In hundreds. Van
