J1ICHAEL j g Last Call For Guesses Fourteen Cash Prizes for the Best Ones We have been getting just bunches of the brightest kind but if there are any more of the little folks in the state who have not sent their guesses in, they have until the 31st of May to give the best reasons why Eilers Piano House can af ford to sell pianos, as it does, at from $ioo to $150 less than any other store on the Coast. The best guesser gets $2$ cash The second best guesser gets 520 cash The third best guesser gets $10 cash The fourth best guesser gets 5 cash J The ten next best each 1 cash SEVENTY DOLLARS ALL IN CASH Everybody knows this is the largest piano store on the Coast and that it carries the greatest varieties and finest pianos, that its business is immense that it has four prosperous stores, the great big one here in Portland, another large one in San Francisco, another one in Spokane, Washington, and still another one at Sacremento, Cal. Now, if we order pianos in large quantities from the factories at one time for all these stores, what sort of discounts are we liable to get? And also shipping so many at a time we are liable to get advantageous freight rates, and then if they are not put in great heavy boxes, would (here be any saving in weight and what sort of advantage would that oe? Then, remember that big warehouse of ours down on the railroad tracks in Portland, where the cars of eur pianos are switched right up to the door, would nut that be much cheaper than if the pianos had to be carted to the storehouse? There now: we have given you just lots of hints. There tre a great many more good reasons see if you cannot find them out remember the child who gives the most and the best reasons get the largest prize.

Delegates of Dotn sexes were present in larje num bers. The report of eoatmittee on cre dentials occupied most of the time be fore dinner. J. Clem, a state deputy who organiied Fruitvale Grange in Umatilla county, recently, and came as its delegate, was denied rececnition as such. Austin L. Buxton, state lecturer, read his annual report.

The following letter from May or Dim. ick was read : To the Officers and Delegates of the State Grange: Havinr chosen our citv as vonr nlc of meeting upon this oecasion, amd your delegates having come from all parts of this beautiful state, a great many of you are strangers to our citizens, I sincerely hope that your short visit in our midst will be a pleasant one, and that your ef forte in behalf of the good caose which you represent will be crowned with success. During your stay in our midst at the City by the Falls, I grant you and each of you the freedom of the city. sincerely Yours, G. B. Dimick, Mayor.

Hilleary of Marion, 'hat provision be made for representation of fomona Grange in the State Grange. The Coast Fork Granae of Linn intro duced a resolution against increasing representation in the State Grange from two delegates to three subordinate to two delegates to one subordinate grange. P. H. Freekson of Linn introduced three resolutions: To provide free books to public school pupils r toaboliBh ceun- tj treasurer and recorder and combine those offices with sheriff and county clerk ; to invest precinct road supervis ors witn cue omceot precinct assessor A resolution was read from Evening Star Grange asking the State Grange to co-operate in attempts to secure the meeting of the National Grange in Port land in 1901. At 2 o'cl ck an open senion began and Ool. Robert A. Miller appeared to de liver an address of welcome which he ended with the words, "so that the Grangers shall lead tiie world." In behalf of the Mate Grange, Lec turer Buxton made a short response. The Master of the State Grange, B. G. Leedy, read his annual address. He called attention to the fact that the or der was growing rapidly and made a brief comment on the session of the Na tional Grange at Lansing, the capital ot Michigan. O. D. Robbinsof Clackamas, submit ted a resolution that the restoring of election of road supervisors by pomilar vote be submitted to the people under the iaitiative-referendum aat. B. G. Leedy, J. Vorhies and M. M. Hilleary, legislative committee, stated in their report that they failed in their efforts to secure the passage of a bill to create the office of pneinctor district assessor and provide for his election by tne people. The principal of electins officer! bv uireci vote, states me report, was not popular with the legislators, and thev even repeale the lav which heretofore authorized the people to elect their own road supervisors. The county court oppose the election of road supervisors with the argument mat so ion ? as tney are hem responsible for the road fund they should have the appointing of the road supeivisors. The same argument is applied to the pre cinct assessors, S li 3 ) and II B 99 pro vi l ing f it vi t of a SHKsnient for taxation purposes of tiie Iranchim s of express, telegraph, telephone and oil companies; and II B 196, pr ividing for equal vote of assessment for taxation of express, tele graph, telephone, railroad, pullman or sleeping cur, refrigerator car and oil companies, and to provide a stale hoard of appraisers and assessors for such pur pose bills both modeled after laws on the statute books of Ohio and New York f n'led to pass. Had the merub rs of the G ranee, savs the report, stood solidly by the principle that large and. extravagent appropria- nou wouiu ue opposed unieBS increased sources of revenue should be created and thus lel'eve and not increase the burdens already heavy upon land and its improvement the committee might have been more successful. The report ended with a recommendation that the State Grange favor, the enactment into law of! house Bill No 190, defeated by the legislature, and also a law for direct nomination of candidates for public ofllces . W. S. U'Ren followed with a talk on an initiative and refferendum league, re commending the idea of the Grange he coming a part of such league along with leading lawyers of PorMand, but it did not seem as if the grangers took kindly to any scheme which would not place their order to the foremost of the cattle. "Thats' right, thats right" as an orator said on the floor. Memorial services were held In honor of sister, L. li. Clarke, past chaplain of stale Grange, Grange 71 Multnomah, F"teru.B. wagner, uaiera Grange No. 17: and brother John Brvant. charter jme liber of Grange No, 42, Linn county Deputy organizer, J. S. Casto, in yr bal comments on his report, called at tention to the great benefit accured to the orders by the visit in our state cf National Master, Aaron Jones, and J. Clem, organiz-r from Umatilla, express ed the great need in Eastern Oregon for visits by prominent men of the order.

" Mr. Bonny's report on the Oomllia Agricultural college, provoked a deal of discusiion about foot ball, a game of which he spoke disapproving'y. When the abundant knowledge of foot ball possessed by the disputants bad been fully aired, it seemed to be tacitly ad mitted by the majority that it is safer and wiser for a boy to learn the tranly art of prize ring fighting than to kick a ball and be kicked 111 toe stomach. The annual session of the State Grange will be held next year at Corvallis. HON. A. E. RE AMES AT CANBY. Democratic Candidate a Sure Winner. On the evening of Monday, May 25th, the Hon. A. E. Reanies was billed to speak to the voters of Canby precinct at 8 o'clock. Very much, to the disap' pointment of the Democrats and also of many Independeut and Republican voters as well as the Citizens generally, the rain began to fall in the afternoon and by the time it was dark it had turned into a steady downpour that would have been a fair sample of a De cember rainy day, in consequence there of it was impossible tV women and children to attend in great number bb is custom in Canby at all kinds of publio functions. It also was the means of keeping many who lived several miles out of town from attending, notwith standing so great was the deBire to hear the Hon. Blnger'a brignt, talented and honest young opponent that quite a nam. her braved the inclemency of the weath er, (he mud and darkness and came to hear Mr. Reamea speak, and we have yet to hear of one who Is or was sorry that he came to hear the masterly cam paign speech. The city hall was filled with an un usually large audience for Canby, nearly the entire number of hearers being, voters. There were more Republicans in the hall who stayed until Mr. Reatnes con cluded, than p.obably ever before at. tended a Democratic speaking at Canby as it is a Republican stronghold, and un derordinary circumstances they do not encourage Democrats by attending their meetings, but the honest mass of the Republicans are anxious to compare candidates and their political ideas this time so they can vote intelligibly this time for that is what they intend to do, Mr. Reatnes, who is a pleasing as well as a talented speaker, very Boon got on excellent terms with his audience by his humorous and and .taking anecdotes and sayings, after which he entered upon the real business of the meeting and ex plained in a clear and forcible manner and with well chosen language the po sition he would take if he was elected to congress to represent the citizens of this district. He fully and clearly explained his position on the tariff question by apt and convincing illustration and he showed that if elected his course 011 that question would virtually be the same as Thomas ti. Tongue's would have ban had he lived. He declared that the only way to con trol the trusts was to enact and enforce l.uvs to not allow them special privileges instead of grabbing them by the throat us Mr. Hermann says is hie re r.ody. , He alio spoke of the extraordinary efforts Mr. Hermann's supporters and the Republicans ring, made to get the President to even half recognize Mr, Hermann as the proper candidate foi the Republicans of Oregon to elect to re present them in Congress and he assur ed his audience that he would use his best efforts to give Hermann the much needed and uesired test that he said he wished to take, and that he thought that with a little help from the voters of the district he would be able to ac complish it. After calling on all who were present and desired to put in an order for garden seeds to leave their names and addresses the audience was dismissed. G. W. Parsifull caught a ten-pound shad in the river Thursday, said to be the largest ever seen here. Major Clark, grandson of Captain CtHrk, th great explorer, accomi anied bp O. U. Dye, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Weath erned and other ladies visited the State Grange Thursday.
