Emery T. Smith, president of the

the city this morning. He was pleas
ed to II ii tl the weather of Roseburg
up to Its usual standard of excellence
and states that the heat In the ex
treme East, from which he has just
returned, has been terrific.
Asked by a representative of The
News as to business conditions in
the East he said that for certain lines
of investment such as mortgages and
p referred bonds there was an abund
t nee of funds, but thai the banks
were Inclined to be conservative in
loans for Industrial purposes.
Regarding thef proposed Coos Bay
and Boise railroad and its purported
bond issue Mr. Smith said: "I nm not

enterprise but I have long known
the Commonwealth Title and Trust
Company, of Philadelphia, who my

however, that one or more transcon

STKO.VG POPULAR DKMAXD.
The progressive method of rotull-
ing piatos direct from factory to
home, was the result of a strong
popular demand for a system where
the piano buyer would have a chance
to enjoy the same freedom In buying
a piano, as they would 'n purchas
ing other articles of merchandise.
This new system was a l'g suc
cess with Rice & Rice from the start,
and some of the shrewd and most
careful buyers in Roseburg readily
admit that the originating of the
from maker to user system by Rice
& Rice was a boon to the piano buy
ing public of Roseburg.
