In 1907 Mr. Hill applied to the De
partment of Agriculture for a man to
come to the State of Washington and
assist him In carrying on a good roads
campaign in that state, and Mr. Lan
caster was sent. Together they pre
pared data and drafted legislation
which was passed by tne legislature.
Marlon B. Hay, then Governor of
Washington, vetoed the programme,
however, on the ground that the ap
propriations were too large, there Dy
gaining the political enmity of Mr.
Hill, who worked against him when
he came up for re-election. Since that
time Mr. Lancaster has maintained of

Winding Road Necessary.
At Rooster Rock yesterday discus
sion centered chiefly around the rout
ing of a portion of the road In that
vicinity. The distance to be covered
by tho part in question is only three
fourths of a mile In an air line, but to
git the desired grade of not to exceed
7 par cent. It will be necessary to wind
the road nearly three miles around a
natural amphitheater. County Surveyor
Holbrook and Mr. Hill explained .their
Idea as to how it should be done.
Briefly, the road will run In a series
of loops, affording a splendid view of
the Columbia River.
When the party "reached Portland on
the return trip its members were
taken by Mr. Hill to his offices In the
Home Telephone Company building.
West Park and Burnside streets, where
they were shown a large number of
road-making views and pictures ot
scenic spots along the Columbia River
and in other parts of Oregon. Mr.
Hill commented on the wonderful na
tural beauties of Oregon and said good
roads are necessary to make these
points accessible to tourists.
Among the pictures shown were sev
eral taken by A. H. Barnes, who, Mr.
Hill said, was the most wonderful
scenic photographer he knew. The
pictures showed the beauties of moun

colors.

Best Place in Town to Buy Any Fine Piano Is Here, but
Don't Fail to See These Bankers Player Pianos.
If it's a choicest Chickerlng or Soh
mer or Kimball baby grand, or a fine
upright or even an old-style piano for
$45 or $55, Eilers Music House is the
Place to buy. No matter what may be
offered elsewhere, depend upon it, the
old reliable piano-house can do better
than can any other concern in the
way of lower price, better quality and
more liberal treatment, say nothing of
absolute guarantee and utmost depend
ableness in every transaction, large or
small.
Just now It Is possible to buy for only
$355 the very latest player pianos for
which ordinarily more than double this
price would be asked, and for as little
as J310 we are in position to supply
row guaranteed right-up-to-the-minute
latest player pianos, which under ordi
nary circumstances win not again be
obtainable for less than 1675. Every
Instrument contained In two big car
loads Just received by Eilers Music
House is sacrificed at corresponding
reductions.
Arrangements were recently con
summated whereby Eilers Music House
secured at its own price two carloads
of the very finest and Internationally
renowned player pianos, which be
longed to bankers who bad advanced a
lot of mosey on them. These are the
very finest player pianos, made by one
of the most renowned institutions. The
bankers' representative finally came to
Portland. At the Oregon Hotel he
finally accepted the offer made by the
management of Eilers Music House
whereby the entire two carloads came
to us at our own prloe.
LATEST A.VO VERY FINEST.
These player pianos are positively
the very finest to be had. regardless of
price. Each Instrument is a model of
perfection. Each will appear at once
to the best posted player pianists.
Kegdless to say that most extraordi
nary concessions were made In order
to dispose of these costly pianoa Now
Eilers Music House offers these Instru
ments for sale. They are to be sold at
a lower price than these or similar
fine new player pianos will ever again
be obtainable. But terms are cash; no
payments.
T'.e high standing, the untarnished
reputation of these superb player
pianos would be severely Injured if the
actual sale price were published. But
Eilers Muslo House stakes its reputa
tlon upon this statement, that these
Instruments are now offered for sale
for less than any dealer in the coun
try has ever heretofore bought new
player pianos of such worth at whole
sale from the factories direct.
SOME FOR OXLV $310.
The prices at which we are disposing
of these Instruments would be consid
ered low, very low indeed, if placed on
ordinary pianos.

Dangerous Waters.
ASTORIA. Or, Aug. 27. (Special.)
While the past fishing season on the
Columbia River was a disappointment
so far -as the total pack was concerned,
the individual gillnetters, particularly
those who drifted in the lower harbor
close to tho mouth of the river, did
comparatively well. The majority of
the fishermen were paid oft yesterday
and quite a number of them received
checks ranging from $1000 to $2000
each for their season's work.
The "high boat" thus far reported
was that operated by Ben Johnson and
Eigvald Eide, who fish for the Altoona
Packing Company. Their catch was
23 tons and 800 pounds, which brought
them $2980 In cash. After deducting
the expenses, Johnson's net profit for
the season was approximately $1600,
while his boatpuller received $875. The
second high boat was the one oper
ated by Han Lovold and his boatpuller,
Carl lverson, who flsh for Booth. Their
catch was 45,000 pounds, or 22 "A tons.
