Musical Clubs of the West. (The Concert Goer. 1 It is a far cry from Iowa to California, from the lakes of Minnesota to the plains of Texas, yet scattered as our clubs are, the same earnest spirit of en deavor binds them in one. It ia hard to believe now that this region was once termed "wild and woolly," whn one reads the letters from club secretaries telling of work accomplished, ideals at tained and still higher standards for the future. It is simply an indication of the resourcefulness of young communi ties and the wonderful power of "those who can." As a whole, it is evident that the clubs are not remaining satisfied with what has been done; that broader plan for the future are already taking shape; that higher standards are maintained, and, beet of all, that the result of the work done k evident in the community. "After years of patient pioneer work, we have reached a point where the pub lic is appreciative and does support us, at least-it believes in ua.'' So writes a club from Portland, Oregon, and the same is true of many other places. That individual members are not con tend with present attainment is strongly shown by the Schumann club of Cha nute, Kansas, which reports one-fourth of last year's membership away study ing music, one of them in Germany. The Treble Clef of Missouri Valley, Iowa, tells of "a marked improvement in the reception of good music by tbe people, due partly, no doubt, to the club and partly to the presence of at least three ydung people who have studied east and abroad and who will sing and play only the good and true." This club does serious and substantial work, of which any club might be proud. The Sherwood club of Tyler, Texas, and the Monday Musicals of Anaconda, Montana, are clubs about the same size and seem to be meeting much the same .problem., the cultivation of existing tal ent and educating the taste of their clientele. But the bravest little club is the one at Wallace, Idaho. What do you sup pose they are planning? To build a club house. There's assurance for jou. And truly western is the naive sugges tion which, calls it "philanthropic work." Cherokee, Iowa, does not appear to be a musical place, yet its Tone Circle is studying operas. Now it any of its members should hear opera in Chicago, they will' be able to listen and enjoy in telligently. Fergus! Falls, Minnesota, must be a charming place, for the people who live there eeem to believe in it so thoroughly. So it goes without saying that the Schumann must be the club of clubs. Though founded only three years ago, the work has grown steadily and there seems no diminution in interest and en thusiasm. The Friday Musical club of Boulder, Colorado, possesses a peculiar interest because it is the club of the librarian of the national federation. They aim in their work to cultivate not only musical but literary interest. In Galveston, Texas, the Ladies' Mu si fcal club follows "its by-laws strictly, enforcing all rules and tines." What other club of women can say the same? There must be some strong power on the throne or behind it, for all their concert work is sung entirely without music, which is lemarkable when one considers that the chorus masters twelve worke each year. The Lincoln, Nebraska, Matiote Musi cale sent six of its members to Topeka, Kansas, in October to give a concert for the Ladies' Music club of that place in return for a similar courtesy the year before. The Topeka club entertained them so charmingly and the occasion was made so wholly delightful that "one who was there" wonders why the. other 0 Do you realize That we have at the pres ent time The. most complete line That has ever been shown In LINCOLN?

The Lincoln club gave a complimentary concert-recently for the Young Women's Christijra association. This and tbe yearly giving of free Lenten concerts by the musical club of Portland, Oregon, are the most important strictly phiian thropicjefTorts of the section. Does it not seem appropriate that the Spinet club, Redlands, California, should study "early classical forms leading, up to the sonata,,' and "The Romantic school?" One almost fancies the members must drees in stiff rustling brocades with high ruffs and towering headgear; it is a beautiful name, dis tinctive as well aB suggestive. Tbe shifting population of the cities and villages of the west makes system atic, consecutive work more difficult than one) would at first imagine. For this reason the Treble Clef club of Mis soula, Montana, deserves the more honor for "keeping alive the spark of musicaL'desire," as its secretary so well expresses it. This club was ably repre sented at the congress of musical clubs held in Chicago during the world's fair. The Tuesday Musical club of Le Grande, Oregon, may well feel proud of the fact that though one of the smaller clubs, itrbas been the means of bringing a numbir of artists to LeGrande and has played no small part in educating public sentiment musicall. ' The latest addition to the western section k the-San Francisco Musical club. A study of their programs re minds one anew of the high standard of intelligence and culture found on the Pacific coast. There is the llavorof the older civilization with tho spice of the new. Some of the members of this club who aro in the east studying hope to affiliate with federated clubs there, a practical advantage of the organization by which many could benefit. The Ladies' Musical club of Topeka, Kansas, is the largest one in the group, having a membership of four hundred and fifty. It has been able to offer its members Be Pachman and William Shakspere, while the Tuesday Musical club of Denver, Colorado, has heard Mrs Seabury Ford, Max Heinrich and his daughter Julia, and Leonora Jack son. Miss Jackson has also played for the Spokane, Washington, Matinee Musicals. The Portland Ladies' Musi cale and the Tacoma club secured Ros enthal for one of its artists' recitals. Distances in the west are so magnificent that the smaller clubs feel that they cannot afford such artists aB these. If Of1Plllflf"Sifio 7 i ? cl FRU ICE KIM V And Dairv Go.
