Jail Sentences of 30 Bays Expected to Have Considerable Influence in Stopping; Alleged Acts. Recent conviction of Chinese gam blers and the Imposing of Jail sen tences is hailed as encouraging by city officials who are making a strenuous effort to break up gambling In Port land among the Celestials. Heretofore it has been virtually impossible to have the Chinese jailed when brought before the circuit court and the small fines assessed against the Chinese did noth- ng in the way of stopping the gam bling which is said o be a nightly feature of Portland's Chinatown. Acting Mayor Bigelow has taken a keen interest in the fight being made on Chinese gambling and stated yes terday that with a few more jail sen tences he was confident a curb would be placed on gambling. The cases In which jail sentences of 0 days were given each Chinese con victed were prosecuted by Deputy City Attorney Lansing, who handles the city cases taken from the municipal court to the circuit court upon appeal.

The house of Bush & Lane enjoys a peculiar distinc tion in so far as it pertains to the manufacturing of pianos and player pianos of the highest possible grade. We have found a great deal of satisfaction and pride in being able to state in our advertisements that a second-hand Bush & Lane piano or player piano is not to be found in the second-hand columns by other dealers. We have maintained that Bush & Lane Pianos give lasting satisfaction, that they are never traded, in the hope of securing something bet ter, and in view of this we have repeatedly stated that every piano of every make and style (excepting the Bush & Lane) is to be found advertised at ridicu lously low prices by some competitive house: We have in our possession some 37,000. piano advertise ments clipped from every conceivable paper from all over the United States and in which are to be found pianos of every character offered for sale second hand and at very low prices. Yet in all these adver tisements we fail to find a single Bush & Lane Piano" offered for sale second-hand. Consequently, we state ' Bush & Lane-Pianos give entire and lasting satis faction. ; . ;." . In this morning's Oregonian we find our competitor advertising certain used pianos for sale,";among! which is listed , Bush & Lane Player Piano (Almost New) Lesser Quality, $650 We at first thought our oft repeated assertion was being challenged, but upon investigation we find that the player piano in question was an old-style Bush & Lane, Player No. 33297, containing an old model player action, and which was sold on August 25, 1914, to a prominent Portland citizen. We also discovered that our competitor had actually gone out in the open market for the purpose of purchasing a Bush & Lane Player Piano, and which he now offers for sale at $650 cash. Had this piano been taken in trade as part payment upon some other piano, which is the usual and customary way that a dealer has of secur ing used pianos, we would have felt differently to ward the matter. But when a dealer purchases one outright one that is five years old and puts it in his stock and prices it at $650 cash we cannot but feel thankful and highly elated that our competitor's con scious regard and appreciation in securing r in this way so fine an instrument, and, as a result,-we re spectfully refer anyone desirous of securing a Bush & Lane Player Piano of sterling merit (notwith standing that it is an old model and a discontinued style) to our worthy competitor. However, we wish to state that the modern Bush & Lane Cecilian Player Piano is vastly superior to the old style rubber tube, wood and leather player action as used in player pianos five years ago. The Cecilian Player action as made by us, and embodied in the Bush & Lane Pianos are of the very latest and most modern construction possible. We respectfully invite you to inspect these players before deciding to purchase a player piano. BUS ANO CO, BUSH & LANE BUILDING Manufacturers of Standard Guaranteed Pianos.

Albeit the FmMm '"pHE business of collecting, preparing and distributing foods so relates to the daily life of all that it ,has close, personal interest for everybody. Sensation seekers have long realized this and capitalized on it. " An attack on the packers could always be relied upon either to draw notice to its instigator or divert too close investigation of some other question. Possibly we, are partially to blame for the lack of understanding which exists in regard to our business. In the past, knowing that attacks upon us have been based on tissues of half truths, adroitly handled innuendo and misinform ation, we may have forgotten that the public were not in full possession of the true facts. Armour and Company have always courted . proper inquiry into methods and operations. And, in the past fewyears, because cf so many ex-parte hearings, we have voluntarily put our case before tbe public Through publication advertising, we have met the misleading headlines through which people get impressions, headlines frequently con troverted by the text matter under them. Confident that fair-minded people will re- spond to complete knowledge, we seek better under standing with them. Through newpapers, booklets, moving pictures of our processes and othersimilar methods, we are explaining the place Armour and Company occupy in the world of human needs and the manner in which they fulfill their function. We are putting our case squarely up to all parties who are interested to producer, merchant, consumer and labor and that each may realize how our obligations to him must combine with our responsibilities to the other involved, we let all know the entire story as we tell it to the rest. We tell consumers what we say to producers producers what we say to consumers. When all is said, however, the size of any busi- . ness dealing competitively in staples must remain the best evidence of its economic soundness. If our . methods were not sound, Armour and Company could not have attained size in proportion to national -needs. -s Bearing this thought in mind, you will readily appreciate that your own self-interest and 1 your right to fullest value for your money, both urge that you always ask your dealer for Armour Products.. , 8 ARM PI COMPAOT JAMES F, FURLONG JR., Manager Portland, Oregon Telephone Broadway 1380 1 ,00 3C 3C 3QC y n u n n u
