This Solves the Christmas
The Greatest Sale of Pianos and
Player Pianos Ever Witnessed
Must Come to a Close Now
When dozens' of. instruments are sold by Eilers
Music House daily, when instruments to the value of
tens of thousands of dollars are being taken each week,
what does it mean?
Doesn't it mean that hundreds of shrewd and far
sighted business men and women of this city and state
are recognizing the great opportunity which most un
usual conditions have made possible?
Doesn't it mean that these people are going out of
the way now to get a piano because so much of actual
intrinsic worth is now obtainable for so little money?
Would all these people and there are hundreds
upon hundreds of them, as you can readily verify
would all these people, we say,, buy pianos now if they
did not find instruments obtainable for less than ever
heretofore, and undoubtedly for less than ever here
after? That's it in a nutshell. The low prices on the na
tion's finest makes, coupled with the most extraordi
nary easy terms of payment, make this great piano
selling. The Manufacturers' Emergency and Surplus
Sale, in charge of the manufacturers' direct represen
tatives at Eilers Music House, solves the Christmas gift
problem this year in a sensible, worth-while way.
The reasons and the . peculiar conditions that have
made this sale possible have been stated heretofore.
We again say it, the sale must close within the next
few days, because the instruments . are rapidly being
sold out.
Whether it's an old-style piano for $35 or $40, or
one of the Nation's most costly $1500 Chickerings, at
the reduced sale prices, now is the time to arrange for
one. It does not take much money. Payments may be
started after Christmas.

PALMER'S ELECTION SURE
I.a Grande Voters Also Decide to

tott 5; Damage limitation amendment,
yes 63, no 178; support of band, yes
132, no 117. Partial returns from the
other two wards show about the same
proportion of votes and that Palmer
has been elected Commissioner by a
small majority is practically conceded.
It also seems that the citizens have de
cided to support the band by taxation.
The city election today will deter
mine a successor for Commissioner
Macwood, who retires after a year's
service as president of La Grande's
Board of Commissioners under the
managerial form of government. The

Managers of two Portland bakeries,

rants will be given by District Attor
ney Evans upon complaint of Deputy
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
Shrock. .
It is charged that the two bakeries
used the dye to give their products a
rich yellow color. Several prosecutions
on similar charges were brought
against local bakeries some months
ago, but since that time no complaints

authorities.
