Objection to a clause '.in the jm1 fcivlns the use of. the river at the Willamette Falls for power purposes. so the War Department would not have full control ox the stream, is the most important of several changes asked by the Attorney-General of the United States to the title of the Oregon City iocks and canal. . Papers in connec tion with this have been returned to Lieutenant-Colonel McKinstry, with in structions to negotiate a new instru ment of transfer that will be satis factory. The transfer of the Iocks and canal to the Government has been up lor several years, but in February, 1912, an agreement was reached for the sale and preliminaries have oc cupied the time since. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, owner of the property, is willing to do whatever 1s required, but it is argued that water for power pur poses can be taken from the river above the locks and redelivered, below without impeding navigation.

Never before have circumstances made ii possiDle to orier such a vast assort ment of the world's best and most de sirable instruments, including Uprights. Player Pianos and Talking Machines. For the past few weeks we have been organizing the Player Piano Purchas ers' Club, whereby we supply latest player pianos on very easy terms, and at prices heretofore unheard of for high-grade player pianos. We have Deen so successful in this undertaking that we have secured A. lare-A numHo,. of good, used pianos, taken in as part payment on these beautiful little Bungalow Players offered on the P P. P. Club plan. All of these instruments are in first-class condition, many of them nearly new. These instruments have been tuned and regulated, and are now on display in our main salesroom.' Such open cut in prices as we now make may disar range the immediate future music trade here, but we feel obliged to make this sacrifice. In no other way can we hope tO disnOSe of t h ".. tnnti-iimonta within the next ten days, at which time we desire to have all of thesn in struments sold. Space here will not permit us to enumerate all of the 130 pianos on sale. However, we will enumerate a few of the attractive bar gains offered, in groups, as follows? CROrP - A " AT 43.

Among them a Frisbee upright in ebony case, suitable for practice work; a Knabe old-style and Criterian old-style case, Thomas Goggan and several others.

SCHOONER BELIEVED LOST Heavy Wind Thwarts Attempts t Float Vessel Stranded on Spit Near Florence for Three Days. Rescue of Women Perilous. FLORENCE, Or., April 30. (Spe cial.) A heavy northwest wind is re tarding the attempts to float the schooner Hugh Hogan, ashore on the South Spit at Florence, and it is be lieved the vessel will be lost. The rudder was broken off when the ship struck, a big leak was opened in the seams and the crew of seven men was inr water waist deep when taken off today. They had refused to leave the boat while there was any chance of saving it. The captain, two women and sailors had a strenuous- time Tuesday night when the Hugh Hogan was first stranded and seas washed over the vessel all night. The women were placed in positions of safety and when they were taken off yesterday morn ing tne sailors carried them through four feet of water. A large part of the deckload of lum ber was washed away yesterday and today. . Efforts are still being made by the tug Roscoe to pull the Hugh Hogan from the spit, but her position has been made worse by the northwest wind, which is driving her further ashore. The night the vessel struck the high seas broke all the lights in the cabins and left the occupants hovering in watery rooms. The rescue of the two women on Thursday by the Umpqua River life savers was a perilous one and the citi xens here say the crew is entitled to credit for their work. None of the victims was injured during their night of anxiety. The crew and Captain Hill today were out with the wrecking crew, aiding in at tempts to float the ill-fated vessel. A late telephone message from Sius law says cables and anchors were run out today from the Hugh Hogan and an attempt to haul her oft made. The vessel moved about 60 feet towards deep water, when the surf put out the nre in the donkey engine. More lines will be put out in the morning and if the vessel does not change position it is expected to get her- oft on the after noon tide.
