"'" The retail piano business of the Manufacturer's Copipany, on Alder and Park
streets, has been purchased by the Reed-French Piano Company- Sixth and Burnside.
- The Reed-French prophecy thus comes true: "No retail piano store can sell
pianos alongside a factory store and live the odds are too much against them.. :
The prices of the pianos lately owned by the Alder street store are being revised to
conform to the Reed-French idea of things and some lively price revisions will be
heard of in a very few days.--:-.'' ' : v.?, ' .-. C:
. 01 course we're going to give terms just the same five, six and seven dollars a :

. We wish you would go in the Alder street store today or tonight and see if .you
can find a piano you likewe nwill reserve It for your although we cant sell' anything
till Monday we must wait to have-the sale confirmed by our eastern officials.

Connty CoramiMloners Personally in
Charge at Madlaon Street.
That aU th. Portland bridges. Includ
Ing th on spanning the river at Mad'
leon atreet, have so far ahown no eigne
of giving way before th Onslaughts of
the swirling, drift-laden flood, ia aa
aerted by County Commissioner Barnes
and Llghtner today. Th commissioners
believe that none of th bridges are In
danger and are confident that all will
stand tha 'test.
- When word ram in this morning
that aeveral million feet of logs were
charging down the current from Oregon
City, the comminslonur hurried to the
Madlaon street bridge and closed the
avenue' to traffic for an. .hour But
the logt came in broken sections. In
ones, twos and threes. They pounded
sgalnst th pilings, but the current car
ried them quickly away and th brldg
waa not aliaken a much by th Im
pact- of tha largest logs as It la .by th
passage of a dirt wagon. Boon th
fears of th commissioner .subsided
and traffic waa resumed, Messrs.
Barnes and Xtghtner remained on the
waterfront most of the morning, until
they were convinced that there- waa no
danger of any part of any of th

Extra men ar on duty on ach brio's
for the purpose of dislodging any drift
wood that may collect about th piers
Many spectators gathered on the
bridges to wateh the angry waters, but
they were dispersed and th employes
were given order to keep the people
moving. ..... V . . , .. a . , -
City Engmer Taylor also expressed
the opinion that all the bridge would
stand th strain Imposed by the flood.
He declared that he bad not discovered
any evidences of weakening.
AT. fhree ferryboats are tied np In
definitely "No attempt will twr made
to run any of them until th flood has
subsided and th river is comparatively
clear of driftage. .
