pal Improvement League, having a per
sonnel of over 70 members, perfected
organization today and by next Sun
day will endeavor to have, every cigar
store, newsstand and similar places of
business closed for the day.
This move Is said to have largely
resulted from revival meetings which
are being held In this city.
In a statement Issued from the Dis
trict Attorney's office it Is declared
that while the plana of the newly
formed league have not been suggested
In any way to the office, that any ef
fort to enforce these laws will not be
prosecuted if they are directed at an
Individual, but that all Individuals must
De treated alike.

"This office Is not a police office.
We cannot ferret out offenders against
tne law, is tne statement from the
District Attorney's office. "But if any
warrant Is sworn out for anyone under

the prosecution of every business which
operates on Sunday and Is not exempt

KMH HAS FREE SITE
COMMERCIAL CIXB MAKES OF
FER FOR NEW COURTHOUSE.
Plan Under Way to Have Matter
Definitely Settled So Question
Can Be Put to Voters Soon.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Feb. 21.
(Special.) Some weeks ago the Klam
ath Falls Commercial Club made
known Its birth to the world by walk-
ing ,n bodr to the "olent courthouse
. and pre8enting to the County Commis
sioners a written oner or a free court-
house site downtown, appraised at
about three times as much as tbe one
a mile away offered some time ago by
the Klamath Development Company.
According to the claims of the club
members, tbe Commissioners at the
time, promised the would-be donors of
the downtown site a speedy reply,
which has not been forthcomfng. Now
about 60 members of the club have
signed a letter to the County Court
trying to prod that body into saying
something definite.
It Is believed that the effort being
made to get the County Court to "fish
(r cut bait, aa one man expressed It,
,8 , tho nope lhat tna oue8t,on of
changing the courthouse location may
be submitted to the voters of Klamath
County at the next primary election.
The club members claim tbat the Hot
Springs site Is not within the limits
of the original county seat of Llnk
vllle. to which Klamath Falls Is a suc
cessor, and therefore not eligible for
courthouse purposes.
Attorney-General Crawford in a re
cent letter wrote that If a majority of
tbe people wish to enact a law direct
ing ths County Court to defer building
the courthouse, submit the question of
building to a vote of the people, or
make other disposition of the question,
they might do so by Initiating the same
and voting upon It at the election In
November.

TO BUYERS AND HOME-BUILDERS !
Just 23 days left in which you can take advantage of the 15 per cent building dis
count and second-mortgage privilege on Laurelhurst lots. After March 15 no
more lots will be sold for less than the list price. Select the site of your future
home before that date and save from $150 to $300.
Since one week ago today, February 15, when we announced the discontinuance
of the building discount for March 15, we have sold 85 lots. In our announcement
we limited the number of building sites that we would sell with the building dis
count to 200.
When critical investors turn from the high-class, high-priced residence districts
on the West Side and buy in Laurelhurst as they are now doing in large numbers,
there must be a reason. There is! They are looking for a high-class residence
park, where everything is equal to the best with the high price left out. They want
an ideal place to build a home at a, cost which will leave more money to be spent in
building the home. In Laurelhurst they find just what they are looking for,
which accounts for our selling 85 lots dur.ng the past seven days.
We have helped a large number of people get homes in Laurelhurst during the
last year, and we will help you, provided you come in and select your lot before
March 15. Make your selection at once interest will not commence on new con
tracts until March 15, and first deferred payments will not be due until 30 days
thereafter.
Before buying,' compare prices in Laurelhurst with prices quoted in other high
grade residence additions and you will find that Laurelhurst is from 25 to 50 per
cent lower. Don't forget this.
Laurelhurst is within the 1 4-mile circle and is the center of the best and most
desirable residence section of Portland.
The property may be reached in less than 15 minutes by five carlines the Rose
City Park, Special Laurelhurst car, East Glisan street, Mount Tabor and Sunny
side lines.
Prices and terms $1000 and up, 10 per cent cash and 2 per cent a month. Special

People who intend buying player-pianos, who wish the best, who
appreciate the true musical qualities of an instrument, should investi
gate the Angelus products, the Knabe-Angelus, the Emerson-Angelus
and the Angelus Piano before their purchase is made.
The new eighty-eight note Angelus pianos combine more features
of excellence, are more perfect musically and mechanically, are more
easily operated, more simple and more durable than any player-piano
on the American market.
Skill is not neede- in ths playing of the Angelus. The "Melodant"
separates melody and harmony, jifst as in hand playing. The "Phras

ber played, while tho automatically operated sustaining pedal insures
the correctness of the rendition. These are but a few of the exclusive
Angelus features.
All Angelus products bear a guarantee for ten, years. No other is
warranted for more than half as long.
Angelus pianos, though better in every way, are no more costly than
the inferior kinds, and they are sold, when desired, on easy payments.
