were equipped with twenty Conn Scout drums

•JThis is believed to be the first woman's drum
iorps ever organized in the Pacific Northwest.
ftlr. Brown reports that the members are apt
pupils and will be able to appear in public early
in the Spring, when it is their purpose to equip
themselves with attractive uniforms.
R. T. Sherwood, of the Circle Theatre, and
Fred K. Trembly, of the Burnside Theatre, both
accomplished drummers, have been equipped
with Ludwig pedal tympani drums by W. A.
McDougall, manager of the small goods de-
partment of the Bush & Lane Piano Co. Both
of these men are members of the Elks Band of
sixty pieces, of which Mr. McDougall is the
director.
Leon Handzlik who has been making Port-
land his home and after being featured during
the past Summer as soloist with the Oregon
Journal Park Band, built himself a handsome
home in the city. He had just moved into the
new residence when he received an offer to go
to Palm Beach, Fla., to act as soloist of the
Palm Beach Band. He left for Florida, but will
return to Portland in the Spring. While here
he was connected with the Seiberling, Lucas
Music Co. as instructor in the band instrument
department, featuring instruction of the
Buescher trumpet. During his absence his place
at the store will be filled by O. C. Dunning,
trumpeter of the Herman Kenin Orchestra of
the Hotel Multnomah.
The Conn Portland store was visited during
the past week by Leslie W. Brewster, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Conn San Francisco estab-
lishment, who spent the time in conference with
George Cracknel], the local manager.

land store, which he left several months ago to
join the force in the new Sherman, Clay & Co.
branch at Salem, Ore.

partment of Sherman, Clay & Co., surprised her
friends by slipping quietly away to Salem, Ore.,

followed by her sister, Maud McCauley, and
Nell Harper, who went to Seattle to enter the
• sheet music department of the Bush & Lane
