Courts. 1

Ontral Addition, on the Montavilla car

WORK FDR UNEMPLOYED
Mrs. Diiniway Places It Before Mu
nicipal Light Plant.
rORJUN'P. March 23. (To the
Klitor.) Having loarnii by expertrnre
that the opinions of a disfranchised cit
izen carry little weight. I have not
troubled The Oreonian very much of
late. But there has arisen an Idea in
my mind this morning, by perusing The
Oregonian's editorial on a municipal
lijsht plant, concerning which I should
like to speak.
The Oregonlan says: "An electric
light requrrts a great deal of atten
tion and a f urther s large
troupe of employes." etc.. etc. All of
which is true. After reading my paper
an errand clled me down the atreot.
past the "bread brigade," lined up be-
fpre the City Board of Charities. Later.
I crossed the Plaza, post the soldiers'
monument, and . found the grass and
benches covered with unemployed men.
And I couldn't help thinking, notwith
standing my present political rating
with idiots, insane persons, criminals
and Chinamen (of which good men are
arising in battalions to avenge their
mothers in June), that It would be for
greater economy to pay a municipal
tax in every city to keep men employed
at living wages, than to tax u, as now,
to feed them through charity.
Think what a vast army of men. and
a gradually increasing number of wom
en, are employed in the Postal Service.
Isn't the experiment well worth trying
on a small scale, comparatively speak
ing, with a municipal light plant?
I like The Oregonian's careful and
comprehensive .consideration of the
subject in all its phases. But I think
that the problem of giving employ
ment to the great army of "out-of-worke"
Is of greater Importance than
even the probable cost of the plant and
Its results to the taxpayers, of whom
the undersigned is' one, that the Asses
sor, or his deputy, never misses.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL OFFICE.
Ticket Seller for Steamship Com
pany to Be Established lp
Town by April 1. - '
Arrangements are being made by the
Harriman transportation- lines -to estab
lish an uptown steamship ticket office in
the quarters occupied by tne Illinois Cen
tral Railroad. In the heart of railroad
row, on Third street. J. W. Ransom,
agent for the Harriman steamer lines
running out of Portland, has the matter
up with the San Francisco headquarters
of the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company, and it is expected that
the new office will be opened April 1.
The placing of a Harriman steamship
agent in the Illinois Central office is in
teresting as showing the close relation
that exists between the Illinois Centra!
and the other Harriman transportation
Interests, for this is the first move that
has been made locally toward consoli
dation of the Illinois Central with the O.
R. & N. or Southern Pacific. The ap
pointment of an agent for the uptown
office has not yet been decided, but it is
expected the man to take charge will be
named within the next few days.
While no closer relations of the Illi
nois Central and the other Harriman in
terests are announced at this time. It Is
considered not unlikely that eventually
the business of this road may be handled
by the older Harriman lines exclusively,
and it is said the complete harmonizing
of the Illinois Central with the othen
properties here is not far distant.
MIIAVAIKIE WOULD SUFFER
Could Xot Expect Same Service
With Five-Cent Fare.
That the decision of the Mllwaukie rate
case, if adverse to the Portland Railway.
I-ight & Power Company, will result in
poorer service on the lines affected by the
decision is the announcement of Benage
S. Josselyn, president of that company.
He maintains that if rates afe cut to
the point desired by the complainants In
the suit brought bef.re the State Rail
road Commission, which has since been
appealed to the courts, it will be impos
sible to maintain the present. service al
says that schedules will undoubtedly be
lengthened on the Oregon City division.
"It is very likely that we will have to
.go back to an hourly service if rates are
out on the Oregon City division," said
he. "We are not combatting the reduc
tion in fare from Milwaukle and Oak
Grove so much, but it will mean, a cut
in rates all along the line and will cut
down our earnings to a point where we
cannot afford to maintain our present ex
cellent service on that division.
"We are constantly striving to give bet
ter service on all lines and now have a
half-hour passenger schedule on the Ore
gon City line. "We will be compelled to
lengthen out rather than shorten our
schedules if the earnings are reduced to
the extent proposed by the rate reduc
tions now being sued for. This is pos
sibly a phase of the situation that has
not been generally understood by those
directly interested in this suit."
Concurs In Tourist Rate.-
Northern Pacific passenger officials
have concurred in the round trip tour
ist rates from Eastern terminals to irte
Facifle Coast during the Summer already
announced by other transcontinental
lines. These tickets will be on sale at
Kastcrn ticket offices from June 1 to
September 15 inclusive, and special sale
dates from the Coast points to the East
will be announced later, tentative dates
having already been agreed upon and
recommended. The fare by these re
duced round-trip rates, to induce tourists
to visit the Pacific Coast points, is $60
from the Missouri River and St. Paul,
$72.60 from Chicago and W7.50 from St.
Louis, with corresponding reductions
from other Eastern points.

Captain J. Speier. chairman of the wa

MUSIC AS A
CULTURE FACTOR
Children Should Be Given Musical
Education Piano in Home a
. Modern Necessity-Small-Payment
Plan Opens Way
to Every One.
Music, the noblest of the arts, is de
fined by Sidney Lanier as "Love in
Search of a Word." There is an inex
pressible something m the heart of
man which seeks to define itself into
speech, but, failing In this, music flies
to its relief, and melody flows out of
the imprisoned soul.
Home is not home wfthout a piano. It
is barren and incomplete something
lacking and your children are denied
the privileges that others enjoy. Fathers
and mothers, in fact all those who hold
the reins of guidance whose duty it
is to direct with care and caution, the
lives, tastes and education of boys and
girls sons and daughters of our land,
should see to It that their children are
given a thorough musical education.
EASY TO BUY.'
There Is not a home, no matter how
small the Income, but that can afford
a piano or organ. But where to get
the greatest piano value for the money
is the question. It is a purchase that
should be made seriously, and with de
liberation. Tou are making a lifetime
purchase.-
Very few people know actual piano
value and are unable to decide whether
it is sold at the right price. 'TIs true
that -there is not a dealer In the coun
try, from the largest down to the small
est, who will not, and perhaps In good
faith, too. claim to sell you cheaper
than anyone else.- But statements and
claims always look different when
stood in a row with downright facts.
SEAL WITH A RELIABLE! HOUSE!.
It is therefore necessary that you
deal with a reliable house. One that
has an established reputation foa fair
and honest dealing. The House of fill
ers Is acknowledged the largest dealers
In high-grade pianos and organs In the
West. More instruments are sold an
nually By Eilers Piano House than all
other dealers on the Coast combined.
This tremendous business has been
built up solely by dealing fairly and
honestly with their patrons and giving
the greatest intrinsic value for the
money. .
No matter how low the price, you are
absolutely positive that in the Eilers
store you will secure an instrument
you will be proud to own. At the Eil
ers establishment there is no doubt as
to-, the quality and there is a positive
assurance of one price to all, and that
price tne very lowest.
Settle that piano question today.
Come In and let us explain our small
payment plan. We will make the terms
so easy that you will not feel them, and
still enjoy the piano while you are pay

Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal it is because the blood is infect
ed with poisonous germ's or some old blood taint which corrupts and pollutes
the circulation. Nothing is more trying than a non-healing, chronic old
ulcer. The very fact that it resists all external applications, and ordinary
treatments, is good reason for alarm,' for the same germ which produces
cancerous ulcera is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the
trouble be from any inherited taint. Surface treatment cannot reach the
trouble the blood is at fault and must be purified before a cure can be hoped
for. In S. S. S. will be found a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind.
It is a perfect blood purifier one that goes directly into the circulation and
promptly cleanses it of all impurities, poisons and taints. The ulcer can
never heal while the blood discharges into it the noxious matter with which
it is infected, bat when S. S. S. has rid the blood of this cause and freshened
and built up the circulation the sore will heal naturally1, and of its own ac
cord. S. S. S. begins at the bottom and heals the place as it should be
healed and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book on Sores and Ulcers
and any special medical advice desired will be sent free to all who write.
