v i4hdnw the flrat onlnlon
that I expressed, that it is not a great

Mary Oarden today, in an Interview.
-As for my own part In 'Natoma.' It
appeals to me. I can feel the conflict
ing emotions of the Indian Princess,
whose forefathers and brothers have
been deposed by a stranger: the girl's
devotion to Barbara and her rejected
love for Paul. In a vision of the past,
present and future during her solitary
confinement in the- church. I feel I am
Natoma.'
-What Is my opinion of Tha Oirl of
the Oolden Weetr Well, the opera is
rotten. Yes. I mean It; Knave said It
before, and you must not modify my
word. I think as I may and I say what
I think you know. I waa to have
created Minnie in Chicago, but when I
read the score I absolutely refused to
take the part. 1 don't believe the
opera will last. It doesn't begin, to
compare with Boheme. Toaca or But
terfly all by Puccini. What Is there
to It but tha atory? And Mr. Bclasco
has made that known to every theater
goer in the country in his great melo
drama. I don't believe In making
operas out of successful plays. It Is
a wrong method of construction; dra

toward the close of the low-fare period.
All advices from the larger railroad
renters of the East indicate that ' the
greater number of tourists will go to
Central Oregon, which has been ex

on account of the entrance of two

resigning the pastorate here becauae I
believe I can do better work elsewhere."

COUNTY FAIRS MAY LOSE
Amendment of Multnomah . BUI,
Lost, Fund In Balance. -
SALEM. Or., March 12. (Speoial.V
Representative Fouta' House bill 891.
providing that Multnomah County Com
missioners may appropriate one-tenth
of one mill on all taxable property In
that county to assist any agricultural
fair association there, may be Jeopar
dised by what looks like a failure to
proceed properly with the passage of
the bill through both houses.
The bill was amended In the Sen
ate to change the stipulation as to
population, which In the original bill
referred to counties having over .50.000
Inhabitants. Senators from some of the
larger countiea objected, to this pro
vision, fearing that in a few years
other counties than Multnomah might
fall under the provisions of the act.
But the report of the committee com
ing back with this amendment cannot
be found. The amendment Is also miss
ing and there Is no record that the
House ever concurred - in the amend
ment by the Senate.
A diligent search is being made by
Assistant Chief Clerk Hunt, but f far
the question has proved unavailing.

ALDRICH COMING
TO CONSULT WEST
Ex-Senator Will Ascertain
Public's Views on Proposed
Currency Reform.
HE IS ACTIVE JN MOVE
Rhode Island Man Will Tour West
and South in Interest of Cam
paign Launched by National
Monetary Commission.
WASHINGTON. March 12. Plans for
the reform of the currency will be
prosecuted with vigor -by members of
tha National Monetary-Commission this
Summer. A campaign of education will
be started in behalf of a bill which
probably will be introduced to both
branches of Congress in December
next. Thus far the work of the com
mittees has not been regarded as po
litical, and special care will be taken
,to avoid the introduction of partisan
Viewa in the campaign.
A majority of the members who have
been working on proposed legislation
are not now members of Congress, and
most of them are regarded as out of
politics. This is particularly true of
the chairman, ex-Senator Aldrlch, of
Rhode Island, who is expected to de
vote much lime to the work in the
coming year.
Republic's Views Sought.
Beginning with the hearing to be
granted to the currency commission of
the American Bankers' Association,
March 22. the commission members
will be actively engaged In obtaining
the views of the public. It is not con
templated there will be many hearings
in Washington, but that several mem
bers of the committee shall visit the
large cities to ascertain the views of
the public. The most extensive tour
will be made by Mr. Aldrlch. the au
thor of the bill which is expected to
form the basis of any legislation at
tempted. .
With one or two other members he
probably will visit the South and West
Aldrlch Bill Favored.
General approval seems to have been
given to the Aldrlch bill by the pub
lic. Bankers seem to regard it as In
the nature of a legalixatlon of the
Clearlng-House methods employed In
time of panic. These methods for the
most part have proven efficacious.
Members of the commission are by
no means committed to the Aldrlch
MIL It was brought out by Mr. Aid
rich chiefly to give the country some
thing tangible to work on.
The views of bankers are being
sought, and. until they are received. It
Is not likely that Individual members
of the, commission will put themselves
on record. Many useful suggestions
are expected from the currency com
mission of the American Bankers' As
sociation, and through the Ideas thus
advanced the commission expects to
avoid many vlcissltudea which the pro
posed legislation otherwise would en
counter in Congress..

L Mrs. Morse's Work Untiring.
Tlio contention of his friends, who
learned of Uut movement to free Mr.
Morse, was that the reasons for liber
ating the New Tork financier would
also operate in the case of the Chicago
man.
The action In the case of the New
Yok flnancier. it is said, was taken
largely as the result of the untiring
efforts of Mrs. Morse in her husband's
behalf, which she has never abandoned
for a moment since his imprisonment
on January 3, 1910. She has visited
Washington several times, interviewed
Senators, Representatives, Cabinet of
ficers, financiers and friends of the
convicted man, and has circulated
numerous petitions to the President,
to which hundreds of signatures of
prominent persons were affixed. She
has been aided by her san, a classmate
of Robert Taft. the son of the Presi

. Sympathy for both Mr. and Mrs.
Morse actuated the Government In Its
reported action. It is said. A 15-year
term in a Federal prison for a man of
Mr. Morse's age is regarded as a severe
penalty, and the 14 months which he
has already spent behind the bars are
looked upon as a aufficient punish

TERMINAL TRACKS BAD

ERN PACIFIC CHANGES.
Frogs ' and Switches Mnst Be Re

Says Report Ont.
SALEM, Or., March 12. (Special.) Fol
lowing receipt by the Railroad Commis
sion of a report from Engineer W. C.
Earle In which Is shown the decidedly
poor condition of the Northern Pacific
Terminal yards at Portland, the Commis
sion has advised Ed Lyons, manager of
the terminal company, to reblock the
frogs and switches at the earliest oppor
tunity, and suggests that hlrh switch
stands be eliminated where practicable.
Engineer Earle In his report says in
part:
"The tracks, aside from the depot pas
senger tracks, were found to be in poor
condition. Light and badly-worn rails,
rrogs hammered down, ties in very poor
condition and the entire track system
badly maintained. Frogs and switches
have some time been blocked, but in most
cases today that blocking has been brok
en, worn out or not In place.

( yards Is the high and dwarf switch stands
in the freight terminal yards, xnese are
dangerous to switchmen who are Jumping
off and on cars at most any place a foot
and hand hold can bo secured. The proper
witch stand for freight terminal yards
is a ground-throw or ground lever switch
stand. With these stands It Is impossible
to knock a switchman off the car. nor is
It possible for a switchman. In Jumping
off a car, to run Into a stand and possibly
be thrown back under the car. Not much
attention is given to keeping the yards
clean, and, taken all In all, the upkeep
of the yards is very poor."
The Commission, In Its letter to Man
ager Lyons, states that It has verified the
statements made in the report of Engineer
Earle and expresses the opinion that the
statements are not overdrawn.
METHODISTS ARE ANGRY
ARCHBISHOP FARLET'S LETTER
BITTERLT DENOUNCED.
Cleric's Protest Against Celebration
of Anniversary of Taking of Rome
From Pope Is Resented.
ROME. March 12. American Metho
dists In Rome held a meeting today In
protest against the action of Archbishop
Farley, of New York, in Issuing a pas
torial letter, which was read recently in
all the churches of his archdiocese. In
denunciation of the proposed celebration
in Rome in commemoration of the 40th
anniversary of the taking of Rome from
the control of the Pope.
In this letter. Archbishop Farley said
the celebration was an Insult to the Pon
tiff and every member or the catnoiic
Church and urged the clergy and faith
ful people to enter their protest against
"the vile character of this celebration
wherever and whenever an occasion of
fers." '
Bishop William Burt Methodist Epis
copal bishop of Europe: Dr. Walling
Clark, head of the Methodist organiza
tion In Italy, and Rev. B. M. Tipple, pas
tor of the Methodist Church In Rome,
all spoke strongly against the pastoral
letter. ,
They stigmatized as unworthy Arch
bishop Farley's words and the attitude

and urged that Americans take part in
the ceieDration.
IDAHO GUARD FIGHT .ENDS
Appointment of W. H. Edelblute as
Colonel Kills Landson's Hopes.
BOISE, Idaho, March 12. (Special.)
The Brady-Lansdon episode which
threatened at one time to cause dis
bandment of the Idaho National Guard,
has ended with the election of W. H.
Edelblute, Major of the Third, Battalion,
Second Infantry, as Colonel of the reg
iment. The Colonelcy was made va
cant by the dismissal of Robert ,Lans
don. ex-Secretary of State and Colonel
of the regiment, by ex-Governor Brady.
The election of Edelblute terminates
a long fight by Lansdon and his friends
to effect his reinstatement. The trou
ble had its origin In the refusal of
Lansdon to appear before the examin
ing board of the National Guard of the
state and take the examination pre
scribed, and as a consequence Governor
Brady issued an order, just-before he
retired from office, that Lansdon's re
fusal to take the examination con
stituted a flagrant disobedience of or
ders and contempt for constituted au
thority, and that he was discharged.

After Being in Altogether Inadequate Quarters
for Last Four or Five Years, the Firm Moves

Every instrument throughout the old place, comprising the
world's best makes of pianos and talking machines of
every description, must be closed out at once, regard
less of considerations of profit. The nation's foremost
makes Chickerings, Kimballs, Deckers, Lesters, baby
grands and uprights, all makes of Player Pianos, and
immense quantities of record and talking machines, and
music rolls for player pianos, music cabinets, electric
pianos, pipe organs, church organs, parlor organs all
must be sold.

DESKS, SAFES, RUGS, CARPETS AND
DRAPERIES ARE INCLUDED.
New pianos usually sold for $250 are now $162 payments
$5.00 monthly buys them. New pianos, usually $350,
are now $225 and $236 $8 monthly buys them. High
est grade $550,pianos, brand new, are now $357, $368,

$1000 and $1150 instruments go at corresponding re
ductions. Payments from $15 to $25 a month buys
them. '
Eilers Music House has been in the
music business longer than any concern
now in active business in Portland.
During this time It has been the aim
of Eilers Music House to furnish not
onlv the very best instruments, but to
furnish same at the lowest possible
There have been many opportunities
in -the past, when it was possible to
effect most extraordinary savings In
the purchase of a first-class musical
instrument at Eilers Music House. Thou
sands and thousands of pianos have
been sold during these special sales,
and never has an Individual been dis
appointed. Eilers Music House has al
wavs furnished the most for the money,
and far more for the money than was
obtainable elsewhere at any time.
But during this closing-out sale of
every Instrument now in our old quar
ters It Is not a question of disposing
of a portion of bur stock on hand. We
must sell everything within these four
walls. Every Instrument intended for
our new building at Seventh and Alder
has "been provided; every instrument in
the old establishment must go. These
instruments must be disposed of at
once.
WHY PRICES ARE CUT.
To accomplish this necessitates the
most merciless price - cutting. Never
heretofore have first - class, highest
grade mualcal Instruments been obtain
able at prices so low as those marked
upon our price tags at this time. No
one who has investigated these pianos
and these prices during 'the past week
has gone away disappointed.
The instruments in this sale are not
second-hand or used. They are not
even shopworn. They are the Nation's
foremost and best styles. There are
roof. There are dozens and dozens of
