Although not yet elected by the Oregon legislature, he has been elected by popular vote and this fact, in the opin ion of Senator Spooner, chairman of the committee on rules, was sufficient to en title Mr. Bourne to the privilege of the floor. He went into the Senate just be fore' noon, accompanied by Senator Ful ton, and was cordially greeted by a num ber of Senators whom he knew, and by others to whom he was introduced by his colleagues. Mr. Bourne is the first United States Senator elected by direct vote of the peo ple, and his admission to the Senate chamber establishes a precedent in that body. "Oh. you are a Harvard man," said President Roosevelt this morning, as Mr. Bourne was introduced by Secretars Ful ton and Gearin. How the President knew is a mystery to Bourne, for he had never before seen the President, but this college tie will be favorable to the new Senator in the future.

NEW OPERA-HOUSE OPENS Bonci Rivals Caruso in Ovation at Grand Opera. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. The Manhattan Opera House, New York's newest theater, was dedicated to grand opera tonight. The opera was Belini's "I Purltanl," and the audience was one of the largest and most showy that ever gathered at a first night in this city. In opening his beautiful house, Oscar Hammcrsteln Introduced to America several noted singers, including Ales sandro Bonci, an Italian tenor, who had been heralded as the equal of his famous countryman. Caruso. Others In the cast were Mile. Plnkert, Mile. Sacearia, M. Venturlni, M. Ancona, M. Arimondi and M. Mugrnoz. Bonci won his audience with his first aria, though he appeared a trifle nervous during his first act. Together with Mile. Plnkert, who sang "Elvira," and Venturlni and Ancona, basso and baritone respective ly, he was recalled halt a dozen times after the first act. If the applause of the great audience may be taken as an indication of high success, first honors probably would go to Mile. Pinkert, who carried the great opportunities of her role with both vocal and artistic success. Not until the last act did M. Bonci have full opportunity to demonstrate the wonderful possibilities of his voice. In his scene with Mile. Plnkert in this act, he carried the house by storm and the audience remained long enough to give the two singers half a dozen re calls after the final curtain. Mr. Hammerstcin was called before the curtain after the second act and made a speech. He told the audience that he had no partners, no board of directors, and no one to tell him what to do. but had fulfilled" his ambition in building such a magnificent theater and dedicating it to grand opera.

Price Contends J. F. Maybach Backed Out of Compact to Part With Timber Land Holdings. The suit of D. W. Price against J. F. Mayback and wife to recover on an al leged breach of contract involving the sale of timber land, occupied the day in Judge Gantenbeln's Court yesterday and will tie resumed this morning. The basis of the eult is found in an option given by J. F. Maybach to D. W. Price on a 311-acre tract of timber land, the conditions being that Maybach would sell for $9000 and that at this price the plaintiff should receive a commission of Wi per cent, and further that in the event of & greater price being secured. Price as agent should receive a compensation of half the amount received over the $9000, in addition to the stipulated 2& per cent on the latter sum. It is alleged and testimony was offered yesterday showing that in pursuance of the conditions of the option. Price ten dered to the defendants a sale of the land to the Chapman Timber Company, which was refused. The course of the testi mony offered by the plaintiff depended upon the fact that the sale was not ac ceptable because it was believed then by the plaintiffs that more money could be had for the land and that the option was abrogated behind the excuse that Mrs. Maybach refused to sign a deed when the sale was offered. The defense offers a suggestion of fraud alleging that Price used the sale of their land to further the disposal of less 'valu able property adjoining and which was owned by Price. Arguments in the case will be heard by the Jury this morning. AFFIDAVIT BV C. E. S. WOOD Corrects Alleged Error in Answer of Henry E. McGinn. C. E. S. Wood, who has figured in the Henry E. McGinn contempt proceedings, yesterday filed an affidavit in the Cir cuit Court correcting an alleged error in the answer submitted by the latter in his defense proceedings on Saturday. The affidavit in part says: In the answer filed by Mr. McGinn in the contempt proceedings occurs this statement: "Mr. McGinn retired from the grand Jury room, whereupon Mr. Wood, believing the contention made by Mr. McGinn to be a correct one, withdrew immediately there after." "The contention referred to by McGinn is that it wa illegal and improper that Wood, being attorney for the private prosecutor, Mr. Larld, should be before the grand Jury as a deputy district attorney. I believe that Mr. McGinn acted in Rood faith in making -that affidavit, but he is in error. I believed then and do now that there was no impro priety in the attorney for the prosecuting witness presenting to the grand jury that witness' case, which was practically the same case that the state was bound to present. The facts are that when I appeared be fore the District Attorney. Mr. Manning, with Mr. J-add and laid before him the libel referred to, Mr. Manning suggested it would be better to have a grand jury art, and said he would expect me to assist him, and he would make me bis deputy, which he did. When Mr. McGinn made his protest before the grand jury I stated that no matter how irregularly that protest was made, I would not remain and proceed further In the mat ter until the question had been settled by the court, ,and it was for that reason and awaiting such a decision that I retired. That afternoon, Mr. Manning came to me and said the court had ruled that I had a right to be before the grand Jury, and lie expected me to abide by my promise that 1 would assist him. I replied that I would do so. and would be on hand next morning. I was present next morning, ready to as sist him In laying the case before the grand jury, when Mr. Manning suggested that on further reflection he had concluded that I had better not return to the grand Jury room. After Viat I had nothing to do with the matter until Mr. Manning brought me an affidavit and asked if I would sign it, which I did after making a correction In It, and since then I have known nothing about the matter."

'Tou don't mean to say that you can sell pianos with everything looking lepsy-turvy and all this work of re-buliding- and remodeling going on?'' said a caller at Eilers Piano House yesterday. We had to aJmit that things were in a rathervchaotic state, to all appearances, at least, and that occasionally a salesman or a customer might be annoyed by the noise and confusion incident to the work of practically lnstalHng a five-floor building in one originally Intended for but two. But to show him that even under these circumstances pianos ran be sold we showed him our sale report for yesterday and for Saturday, which of ccurse astonished him. "Nothing as tonishing about it," we said. "The only wonder is that we haven't sold out n?arly all of these fine pianos at the emergency sale prices, represent ing a reduction of from $100 to $12S, yes, in some cases as much as $-0 1 from the price at which tiiese instru- ments are usually sold by retail deal ers When we are 'offering here to take J164 each for choice of four largest size fancy cased Ludwig upright pi anos, which, to all appearances look as though they had never been used at all. , and are willing to take $-' or even $14 cash, and the balance at $7 or ti a month, it seems to us they ought to be taken up quickly. Here is a Krcll piano that is new. It is a mahogany case. Some dealers ask $32i for it. We'll take J1SS cash or J! a month for it. A splendid Jacob Doll piano, good and serviceable, for $196, for which other dealers have asked as much as $350, yes, even $37;. A suberb little oak-cased Kimball up right, not yet seven years old. goes now for $22t, and another fancy ma hogany Kimball very nearly new can be secured for $2811. A very good ma hogany caso Steinway upright Is now $'-'S6, and $S less takes a splendid medium-sized mahogany case Knube. Remember these last named pianos are not brand new, but we doubt If even an expert could tell them from a new one. There are quite a. number of ethers: Fischers, Mathushek, Mehlin. Decker, Hallett & Davis, aad other brands, all at corresponding reduc tions. But the Sale Report Here is the report of Satin-day's and Monday's piano selling. We have sold mo;-e than these at various times, dur ing the past three years, in a single day, but we doubt if anywhere in t'ii l uitcd States so many pianos ever were sold under circumstances, twice or three times more favorable, in so fir as displuy'and chance to show the instruments Is concerned. We are still really very much disarranged, hut that, is the reason why prices have been made so low, and that is the reason why discriminating purchasers secure pianos now rather than waiting until everything Is again in apple pie order. Mrs. If. G. Sladen purchased a Mar shall i- Wendell. Mrs. Dora Butler, a Story & Clark. Mrs. C. N. McKay, a beautiful Schu- , maim in mahogany. Miss M.
