are to be written. The card is then to ba
returned to be filled out. At least two
trees are to be) planted in front of each
lot. The individual cost will be very
Rmall. The trees are to be planted deep
ly, so the roots will not interfere with the
sidewalks. Maples, elms and nut-bearing;
trees may be selected. It is desired, if

dresses made on the city beautiful.

Benefit -Nets Tidy Sara
for T. M. A.
THE annual benefit of the local branch
of the Theatrical Mechanical Associ
ation was given at the Marquam Theater
yesterday afternoon before an audience
that completely filled that handsome play
house. The affair was the most success
ful that has ever been held In the his
tory of the local lodge, and netted, more
than $500 for the association. The fund
thus raised is to be used in alleviation of
the distress of unfortunate members of
the order, and those connected with the
theatrical profession, in whatever capa
city, whether or not members of the as
sociation. It 1st one of the -most useful
beneficial orders of which I have any
knowledge, and the fact that so many
people turned-out yesterday to attend the
splendid benefit entertainment Is an es
pecial occasion for felicitation.
The affair was under the management
of a committee consisting of A. . La
Brache, chairman, and D. M. Henderson;
Milton W. Seaman, Ben Smith. Louis B.
Christ, James B. Welch. George L. Ba
ker Fred Richter, W. T. Pangle, H.'iB.
McCabe, H. P. Emery, Oscar Neillson,
Don W. Bowen and L. L. Winters. There
was no hitch in the arrangements, and
In fact the whole affair was admirably
conducted. The Marquam Theater was
donated by the Imperial Amusement
Company, of which Morton S. Cohn Is
president. The stage mechanics who vol
unteered their services were members of
Portland local. No. 28, A. T. S. B-; the
musicians represented Portland local. No.
99, M. M. A.; the- mechanical effects
were under the direction of H. B. Mc
Cabe; the orchestra was directed by John
Seltenreich, and the general stage direc
tion was In charge of D. M. Henderson.
To these men and the volunteers who
appeared on the programme too much
credit cannot be given.
The programme correlated of specialties
contributed by. various professionals in
the city, with the exception of two well
known legal lights, John F. Logan, who
delivered an address, and Frank D. Hen
nessey, wto sang a solo. All the turns
were well received, and It would be diffi
cult to dlwrimlnata In favor of any one
of the performers, as the show was of
such a high order of excellence through
out. An Interesting feature of the enter
tainment was the drawing of a handsome
lady's gold watch, which was donated by
Metzger & Co., jewelers of this city. The
watch was won by William Winters, who
held the lucky seat check.
Enthusiasm prevailed during the per
formance, and one of the most repre
sentative audiences of people interested
in stage affairs that could be assembled
enjoyed the show.
The following is the programme:

ONLY ONE GAR
OF PIANOS LEFT
Eighteen Sold Since Thursday Fac
tory Says Close Out -Remainder
In Next Four Days.
The public is quick to take ad
vantage uf a genuine bargain. This
has been shown - during the past few
days at 103 Front street, where two
carloads of the very highest grade
pianos are being offered at about one
half the price that dealers charge for
them. All of one carload is gone and
I am now disposing of the second.
These instruments were shipped to one
of the dealers here who met with
misfortune. They were left upon my
factory's hands and I Was sent here
with instructions to dispose of them to
the best' advantage in the quickest
possible time.
These Instruments are the best my
factory ever made. They are brand
new and you will see in them many
excellent patented features not found
in other upright pianos. These pianos
have been sold right here in Portland
by the dealer who formerly handled
them -for 1450.00, $500.0J and J550.00.
Dozens of them are in fine homes in
this city and their owners will speak
of them with highest praise.
These ' Instruments are goinfr at
actual factory cost. I must leave for
the East with as little delay as pos
sible and my orders are to forget
profits, entirely. Whiie the prices I am
quotinar should be for all cash, I am
still willing to arrange for reasonable
nn vments. as favorable as could be se
cured from any local dealer. These
pianos will be accompanied by our fac
tory's five-year guarantee and I will
arrange to keep the pianos in tune
after they are sold.
This Is a bona fide offer and an op
portunity that seldom comes. When
you see hese fine, high grade pianos
and appreciate what a most extraor
dinary saving is possible now. I am
sure you will not need to be urged to
buv. . Remember the location. 103
