Here can bo seen somo of his original work, his forte being chiefly in landscape work. Mr. Hill's paintings of forest and stream arc not only full of life and high coloring, color-ing, but he has a style peculiarly his own, and when his various pictures arc carefully considered they will attract much attention. Lie has been here quietly al work for some time and has caught the spirit of the several nearby canyons and mountain streams In a manner man-ner that will please those who havo lived amid th hills and vallevs of Utah. Especially js this true of his Cottonwood sketches, A picture he is now at work upon, but which will nol be ready for Inspection for soihe weeks, will prove of deep Interest to lovers of art and home. .Mr. Hill welcomes all to his studio any artcrnoon and will shortly give an exhibition exhi-bition of his work. The pneumatic rivet driver on the works of the new Utah hotel proves a truly disconcerting accompaniment to tho thought and expression of the musicians and painters housed In tho Templeton. Just as a hit of color, a strain of inusl-eul inusl-eul composition, or a clever bit of repartee repar-tee 13 brought to the surface, the rat-a-tat-tat begins, and the artist, the writer, or musical composer receives n rude shock, and art takes a rear place, giving way for the time being to this spirit of commercialism, the bete noir of one of true artistic temperament. It is not a musical sketch. It is loo good for an operetta, und It Is hardly in the class of grand opera, but It has decided de-cided merit and will undoubtedly reflect groat credit upon Its authors. Reference Refer-ence is made to a work now being completed com-pleted by Spencer Clawson. pianist, and J. Wesley Clawson. baritone.

They arc putting the finishing touches on their work now, Spencer composing the music ami Wesley Wes-ley handling the libretto. It Is a musical study for a soprano and baritone nnd, judging from a private rehearsal for The Bohemian, the Orpheuni or some other circuit will .have a novelty in the near future. Spencer Clawson slifdled under Miss Flanders and later went to Furope for four years. Wesley Clawson has made a hit in light opera, and both are imbued with the musical and lo-hemiau lo-hemiau spirit. The Z. C. M. I., through its superintendent, superin-tendent, T. G. Webber, this wok purchased pur-chased of II. L. A. Culmer one of his paintings of the natural bridge of southern south-ern Utah. This painting, of which several sev-eral various studies have been attracting much attention, is one showing tho great bridge In all its natural coloring, and will be reproduced for distribution among tho patrons of the big mercantile institution, institu-tion, and its purchase is hut another recognition rec-ognition of Utah art and artists.

An effort is being made to secure a revised edition of McClellnn and Mackenzie's Macken-zie's musical comedy of the North Pole controversy for production in vniidevllle.
