Captain Baty assigned Detective Haw lev to make an investigation. The of- Head of County Forces Says Office- fleer found that the tickets, being en tirely over one system, were not re investigating this end of what prom ises to be a murder mystery, with little success so far. They believe that the Portland origin claimed by the women Is assumed, but have established that they at least stayed here a few days and bought new railroad and sleeper tickets for Los Angeles. The two women registered at the Baltimore Hotel in Los Angeles from Portland. They left the hotel the fol lowing day, and all trace of them was I "Church People Tried to SUake Me lost at that point.

Still an other section has been proposed from East Seventy-second street to the city limits. The assessments for the Ira provement will approximate $80 to $100 a lot in the district to be benefited. The big sewer Is planned to drain an Ira mense section of the city. Among those opposing the third sec tlon of the big pipe were Councllmen Clyde and Jennings. They agreed with several spokesmen for the protesting delegation that the Improvement is not needed at this time. Other members of the committee did not agree with them. but agreed to hold the project in abey. ance until the petitions can be circu lated showing the desires of tne ma jority of property owners.

Thus the offices of a party It is expected that a special city elec tion will be held in January to vote on the question of issuing bonds for the erection of a municipal water plant and to change the charter providing for the opening of streets. The committee which Is preparing the bond issue measure and the charter amendment will submit a report at the meeting of the Council the second Tuesday In Jan uary. The bond issue probably will be for about $25,000. committee are to be degraded to that County Court first took up negotiations of personal s gents to elect candidates nominated without any influence of the committee, or any voice on meas ures. Unity in the committee or among the candidates becomes impossible. A state-wide issue speedily developed on single tax nnd the measure abolishing the state Senate, etc. Not one party or candidate openly and frankly took a stand on either of these. Of what value then. Is a party for state or county offices? Do the candidates want a husk? Again, many new laws were rith the railway company for the use of this deck, but flatly refused to pay the rental demanded by the rallway company. Then the city took It up, and about a month ago, after the termina tion of a temporary arrangement, leased the bridge for two years from the railway company, paying the equiv alent of $3600 a month in addition to maintenance charges and $490 a month for the salaries of six gatemen.

The irrepressible U'Ren has alrt-ndy shied his hat in the ring as candidate for Governor, and his plat form is single tax, et al. Welcome, spostle of vagaries, the challenge Is accepted and we are glad to know how to line up." Discussing the Increasing number of measures submitted under the initiative at each succeeding election. Mr. Wright suggested the following plan for their disposition: Special Elections FaTored. "I believe the Legislature should enact a law requiring the Governor, in case more than five measures come up. to call a special election within 4S days, to vote upon them only. It would be money well Invested to first get the chance to scrutinize our laws sep arately and prevent Jokers from- being slipped on us. It would likely prevent much self-seeking legislation, as public opinion would soon frown down the signing of petitions for measures with out merit. I have had the audacity to refuse signing some myself, 'Just to It-t the people decide It,' because I thought it wrong. After that, the field would bs clear to examine the quali fications of the men who are to exe cute the laws. "Another crying need to prevent so much direct legislation, is for the Leg islature seriously to decide on the best method, by constitutional amendment or by statute, to divide the state Into equitable and reasonable legislative districts In which to elect only one Senator and one Representative. This I cannot urge too strongly. I believe in the initiative and referendum if prop erly used, but now it is a race of class against class, to inject discordant elements into our Governmental sys tem, without careful study of their effect on our social structure. It means disintegration and ruin if continued. The Ohio plan Is better. Here in Ore gon there Is continual assertion that the Legislature is no good, hence the tendency to seek direct legislation, much without even giving the Legisla ture an opportunity. It is wiser to get at the root of the trouble and fix greater responsibility on a smaller group of yoters, for the character and ability of our legislators." lng the O.-W. R. & N.

NEW SEWER IS OPPOSED SContarllla Residents Filo Protest and Work Is Suspended. A delegation of more than 100 prop erty owners of Montavilla appeared be fore the sewer committee of the City Council yesterday and made a' protest which resulted in, the temporary dis continuance of work on the East Stark, street trunk sewer in the Montavilla district. The committee after hearing the protests, decided to have two pe titions circulated through the district to ascertain the attitude of the property owners regarding the sewer. One peti tion will be signed by those in favor of the project while the other will be signed by those opposed. While the circulation is In progress the sewer project will be held in abeyance. Objection is made to wnat is proposed to be the third section of the big sewer.

FOR Another Meeting Will Be Called by V. Vincent Jones Shortly for Permanent Organization. An organization to carry on a cam paign for the extension and improve ment of parks and playgrounds in Portland, with its membership made up from taxpayers of the city, will begin an educational campaign to awaken the citizenship to the importance of these features in the life of the city. The decision to form this organization was made at a meeting of representa tive citizens held yesterday at the Com mercial Club, The aim of the proposed campaign is to secure at the June elec tion a vote favoring an issue of park bonds. Data will be secured by committees from the organization regarding the condition in Portland, and statistics from other cities bearing upon the sub ject will be compiled. The educational campaign based upon this material .will aim to bring before the citizens the benefits to be derived from parks and playgrounds, from the standpoint of health and morality among children and also from the value commercially in attracting those seeking permanent homes to Portland.

MURDER SUSPECTS SOUGHT Babe Thrown From Train Charged to Women Ostensibly From Portland. Murder charges will be placed against two women, one elderly, the other said to be young and beautiful, apparently people of means, purport ing to be residents of Portland, as soon as they can be located by the police. The charge emanates from Kern County, California, where, on the morn ing of October 30. a new-born babe was discovered lifeless beside the traik of the Southern Pacific rail way.

Artificial Teeth "THIS ONE THING I DO" To replace all or part of the nat ural teeth by means of plate work requires a great deal of time and study. The general practice of dentistry, today, like the practice of medicine, is fast becoming di vided into its various specialties. This is the only office in the state that the practice is limited to this one specialty, the most neglected branch in dentistry. Where only part of the teeth are missing, properly constructed removable plates, sometimes called bridge work, can be worn with the utmost satisfaction, eliminat ing the unsanitary, short-lived, old-style bridge work. A booklet explaining the ad vantages of various kinds of plates will be mailed free upon request. Dr. Kelsey, D. M. D. 206 Globe Bid?., 11th and Washington Sts.

Yesterday Was An Old Time Hummer Twenty-six Costly Pianos, Bungalow Player Pianos, Autopianos, Kimballs, Chicker ings and Eilers de Luxe Player Pianos and Grafonolas Delivered by Eilers Music House Yesterday Still Lower Prices and Easier Payments Will Surely Make November the Greatest Month in Our History List of Purchasers and What They Secured. ' Twenty-six instruments delivered In single day. That's the record of Eilers Music House yesterday (Monday). And the most gratifying part of It all is the unquestioned evidence of the faith and confidence which the public have in the announcements of Eilers Music House. It was only in last Sun day's paper we announced that Oc tober had been the greatest month in the history of the Eilers Organization, and we were determined to make No vember the greatest of all In point of sales. Within the brief period of thirty-six hours from the time this announcement first appeared the enormous response stated above is the result. BUYERS. AND INSTRUMENTS SELECTED. Miss Jessie Cha&e, of East Belmont street, secured a fine Ellsworth piano. A superb Smith & Barnes was selected by H. Newmann. or Sherman street. An exquisite Bungalow player piano went to G. E. Beers. Mrs. E. M. Ball, of Winlock, selected a costly Kimball in fanciest quarter-sawed oak. A costly Orafonola de Luxe was chosen by S. Haggerty. and another superb Grafono- la went to the Rev. James O Flynn, ot Beaverton, Or. And still another Grafonola was selected by L. A. Dono van, of East Lincoln street. Another costly Kimball was the choice of J. Blanchard, and one of the finest and latest Marshall & Wendell player pianos went to W. M. Clist O. L. Weddle selected a fanciest caseel superb Chickering of a new design. M. S. Burson, of West Stayton, a fine Hoff man piano, and Dr. Anna Wheeler, of the Multnomah Hotel, still another Grafonola de Luxe. A superb Eilers de Luxe went to Otto Keil. Each of the following also selected Grafonolas: L. A. Donovan, Mary Barry, L. D. Lin- nett, H. von Meincke, E. A. Bancroft, F. A Wesolowske, D. O. Moody and H. E. Hendry, of Oregon City. And still another went to J. W. Jamison, of Cor- vauis. Joseph Zeuber, of Stayton, a fine Kimball. George B. Davis, a superb Eilers. Miss Ruth Sanders, of The Dalles, another costly Chickering In fanciest mahogany, and another of the highest-grade Marshall & Wendells went to J. M. Root, of Newberg. THE WHY AND. WHEREFORE. As stated in Sunday's announcement. we shall make November a still greater month in point of selling than any that has gone before. The more pianos we sell the lower we can make our prices. Because of our firm con fidence in our ability to find more buy ers during the present month than ever heretofore, we make, in almost every department throughout this great establishment, still sTeater price reduc tions: in addition we offer terms oi payment so easy and make all other conditions in every way so much more favorable than ever heretofore that no one can have any hesitancy in buying now, even though-the thought of ever owning a good piano had never oc curred. OREGONLAN S KNOW. Those who have lived In Oregon know all about the reliability of Eilers Music House and its money - saving methods. Of course they Invariably purchase musical instruments here. But we wish to call the attention of the thousands of newcomers who have not had opportunity to gain personal knowledge of the advantages to be se cured by dealing with Eilers Music House, to the unexcelled array of the world's very best pianos and playe pianos and all makes of talking ma chines, etc.. that are to be found in this great establishment. From comDaratively small begin nines this institution has grown, and it flourishes because it furnishes, first, the highest quality, and, secondly, this highest quality at prices lower man can be made by any other establish ment. OXCART AGAINST AUTOMOBILE, We ask you, in all candor, to make careful investigations before buying. We tell you frankly to exercise your own Judgment. We want you to analyze carefully the statements and claims made by salesmen and dealers who have pianos of their own to sell and who, because of lack of facilities one way or another, cannot openly compete with an institution such as this. We call attention to tne tact mat one must not expect, to hear of the good qualities of Eilers Music House's pianos and of the reliability and ut most trustworthiness of the firm from people who have pianos of their own to sell. As an old-time oxcart cannot Dosslbly compete for service with modern high-grade auto truck, so it Is impossible for tacky branch houses or for round-about dealers or so-cauea factory branches and consignment houses to compete with a modern com mercial institution such as Eilers Mu sic House. ' NOVEMBER PRICES. And. because of the fact that we know we can make our sales during November greater than ever before, we undertake to make our prices still low er than ever heretofore. It is well for those who do not know of us to investigate carefully all pianos before coming to Eilers Music-House. Ask to be shown the very best piano obtainable elsewhere for S42a. Do not be satisfied for anything less in Drice. Demand to see the very best obtainable at 425, and then come tp Eilers Music-House and find here the exact same grade and quality for only S286. Would not you Oeciae to pur chase of Eilers Music-House? Of course, yes. And that Is what buyers are doing each day. The situation in this town and along the entire Pacific Coast Is exactly this: For 286 cash or on little payments extending over i period of 30 months, for the mere ad ditlnnnl nlmnln interest, we furnish a better piano, a higher grade than can be supplied by any other institution in their slow way for 1425. This is no mere idle statement, but can be proven to anyone who will only stop to in vestigate. We supply during November the very fanciest selected cases, large size, for S318. and Dlainer. less expensively cased models will cost only 1264. Same high-grade works, same exceptional durability, same guarantee. THESE ONLY $157. Come prepared to buy of Eilers Mu sic House now the regulation $250 and $275 pianos brand new, for $165, J157, etc. Little payments if you like. PLAYER PIANO TRUST BUSTED. Come prepared to buy the finest player pianos at the price charged else where for a good upright. We an nihilated the "High-Priced-Charging-Ring" In the player piano business. We brought down prices of "player pianos so that these truly much-needed Instru ments can now be secured by any home, even though not exactly well to do. An pioneers in player piano selling, we know positively that we have the very best of player pianos of every grade ami every dependable quality up to and in cluding the most superbly beautiful of all, the new Chickering Flexotone de Luxe, as well as the wonderfully ex pressive new Kimball Acmelodlc and the genuine Autopiano. Then there is the crowning achievement of the mas ter builder, C. B. Lawson. who formerly superintended the making of the Weber and now builds for us the exquisitely elegant player piano de Luxe. ARBITRARY HIGH PRICES GONE. Instead of prices being arbitrarily $900 or $1000 or $1150 or more, we of fer these instruments upon the same little profit per piano basis, that charac terizes the conduct of our establish ment, effecting in each Instance a sav ing of a very substantial amount. PIANOLA PLAYERS MUST GO. We offer tomorrow three Weber Pi anola pianos, two of which have had not to exceed three months' usage and in every way like new, containing com bination equipment by which the old style rolls and new-style rolls can be used, also having the guiding device pointer, in short, all the latest Improve ments. Instruments for which the com bine managers endeavor to charge $1150 or more. We want these weoers out of the way, will take half price, $575, terms cash or $50 down, and $15 a month, music rolls Included free with each of these Instruments. THESE ONLY S385. Other less expensive styles of Pianola pianos which have come to us of late in part payment for the new and high ly improved Autopiano and the other perfected types of player pianos will go for a (treat deal less money, or $40U and $365 and payments of $10 a month buys them. This is the greatest effort of Eilers Music House. We must sell, and we are going to sell dozens of pianos eacn day in order to make these low prices possible. Come here first or come here last. We are sure that at the low prices now established upon these pianos, . player pianos and baby grands, you will get ydur piano at the big piano store In the Eilers Zlulldlng. Alder , Street at Seventh, and you will get .t nc THE FAMOUS GUARANTEE. It will be well In making investlga- ' tlons to bear in mind the Eilers Mon- 1 ey Back guarantee. No transaction, large or small, at Eilers Muslo House , is right or completed unless it means , positive satisfaction to the purchaser. SAFETY AND SATISFACTION. One and the same price to each and all alike. Tour child can buy of any Eilers store as safely as can the most experienced shopper. RENTING PIANOS.
