GRANT'S PAS9, Or., June: 2. (Special.)
The Republican campaign closed tonight
In Josephine County with a big rally in
the Opera House in this city.' It was the
. largest by far in attendance of any rally
yet held in Grant's Pass "by either party.
" The city was well represented and there
were many prominent Republicans present
from other sections of the county. Many
ladles attended, while Democrats and So
cialists were well represented. Much en
thusiasm was displayed and the speakers,
who were Hon. W. L. Tooze and Hon. T.
J. Cleeton, were frequently applauded, as
they made telling hits on Governor Cham
berlain's boasted record of saving Oregon
. from the alleged terrible misdeeds of a
Republican Legislature and state officials.
.Mr. Tooio spoke as follows:
The slogan of the Democracy of Oregon
rluring the campaign has been, "Vote for
the man." I will give to those who are
proud to march under the unsullied ban-
, ner of tho Republican party a better
motto, which is, "Vote for principles first
and men only as representatives of the
principles and policies of your party."
Another Democratic war cry is, "Don't
vote straight, but vote right." To this
jientlment Republicans are fully warrant-
' ed in replying, "Vote straight June 4 and
, Republicans will vote right!"
- The cry of the Democratic party of
Orogon that "this is an epoch of nonpar-
tisunRhl), that there is no issue," ought
not for one moment to deceive the voters
' and exponents of Republican doctrine
throughout the state. Democratic speeches
made during this campaign by Governor
( 'hamberlain and the Democratic candi
dates for Congress, together with the k-g-
., islatlvo aspirants for office, are wholly
' composed of fallacious arguments and po
lttical sophistry unworthy of the manhood
of the stalwarts of the disciples of Jcf
ferson and Jackson.
The cowardly and anonymous attacks
made against Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr..
Tlepubllcan nominee for United States
. r Senator, deserve the contempt of all man
kind, lie has fought nobly for the cstab-
. ., llshmont in Oregon politics of a great
principle the election of United States
Senators by a direct vote of the people.
Tho taxpayers of Oregon have suffered
.- 1he loss of millions of dollars because of
' the Senatorial contests during past years
and have long demanded a potent rem-
. edy. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has been fair
ly nominated by the laborers and pro
ducers of Oregon, and stands today as a
stalwart and worthy representative of a
great principle and of the principles and
policies of the Republican party, and Is
richly entitled to and will receive an
. overwhelming majority of the votes of
the people of this state on June 4. He
represents the masses, not the privileged
classes of this, commonwealth.
Against him and opposed to the free
expression of tho choice of our people in
; the election of a United States Senator
are arrayed all the plutocratic elements
of the body politic throughout the state.
Republicans will not be deceived as to
the supreme importance of this Titanic
struggle for supremacy. Mighty princl-
. pies are at stake, that Involve the Inter
ests of all our people and party for gen
erations to come, and this pyruah"
display of Democratic fireworks and
anonymous circulars will be permanently
buried under an avalanche of Republican,
votes.
To prove that the claims of Governor
Chamberlain as to the passage of Impor
tant legislation are without basis, the
v speaker cited the follow servant law,
simultaneously presented in both houses
by Senator A. C. Marsters and Represen
tative James Hansborongh, both Repub
licans, and passed by Republican votes.
The only credit the Governor can. take is
that he did not veto the bill.
A strong argument was made for ex
clusion of Chinese and Japanese coolies
and especially as to the tariff and the
record of the party on the money ques
tion. The opening of a deep-sea harbor
" at Coos Bay and the improvement at the
mouth of the Columbia River, Irrigation,
. etc., were advocated, especial attention
being called to the necessity of electing
W. C. Hawley to Congress, together with
Bourne, Mulkey and Ellis, In order that
Oregon he duly recognized In securing
Federal Bid for Internal improvements.
IJvely musical selections by Henry's
Orchestra were Interspersed in the pro
gramme for the evening. County Chair
man C. K. Maybee presided and intro
duced the speakers. The first speaker
was V. W. Chausse, candidate for Coun
ty Judge, who outlined in a clear manner
his position In matters of Interest to the
taxpayers of Josephine County.
Tho fact Is now a certainty that Jo
sephine County will give a larger Re
publican vote and bigger majorities
to candidates on that ticket than ever
before given in the history of! the coun
ty. Karly in the campaign reports were
freely circulated over the county that
scores of Republicans were going to vote
the Democratic ticket, in whole or par-.
. tiallyi that they were going to support
' Governor Chamberlain and Senator clear-
fn. All this proved the Democratic cam
paign buncomo and a careful poll of the
county shows but three Republicans now
announce that they will vote for Cham
korlain. while 17 Democrats state they
will vote for Dr. Withycombe.
This same ratio of support will be
given Mr. Bourne for Senator and Mr.
Hawley for Congressman and the other
candidates on the Republican ticket. Re
ports from Jackson County are equally
; encouraging and all Rogue River Valley
will give big majorities next Monday
to the Republican ticket.
KXTH CHIASM AT MED FORI).
Judge Lowell Is Principal Speaker
of the Evening.
' MBDFORD, Or., June 2. (Special.) The
campaign'as far as any public meeting or
. demonstration of any kind is concerned,
closed for Jackson County In a burst of
enthusiasm tonight at the Opera-House,
when the largest crowd that has gathered
at any political meeting in this campaign
" in Jackson County was assembled. W. I.
Vawter was chairman, and after brief ad
i dresses by local candidates, Messrs. Sta-
pies, Kubll, Perkins and Burnett, the
' speaker of the evening was introduced In
the person of Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of
, Pendleton.
c Judge Lowell, In an address of more
than an hour's length, held the attention
of the audience by his masterly dellnea-
tion of the political situation. He said in
. part:
The great Issue is now before us as
, citizens of a great country and of the
great West as citizens of this country.
; enjoying w'hat the great commoner
called a government of the people, by
tho people and for the people. You must
take your share of the responsibility.
.. The Democrats tell us that there is no
t party lines lti this contest, but they
. overlook the fact that this country has
c. always been governed by men who
. have gathered - in groups and called
. thomselvvs by some party name. At no
time In the history, of our .country has
- the line of demarcation been drawn
- so close' between the President and
, his partv. who stand for a protective
tariff, nnd the Democratic party with
. Its tariff for rvenue only.

has been for years my personal friend,
he is an excellent gentleman and a
most skilled-sophist. His public rec
ord Is before us. can we vote for him,
holding the weal of our commonwealth
in view? Governor Chamberlain in his
platform does not mention the name of
the Democratic party, but asks for a
quare deal. He forgets that a square
deal should be followed by fair play.
Is it fair play when he takes credit
for the employers' liability act. the
corporation tax law and other acts of
tile Republican Legislature?
MILLER'S FRIENDS RALLYING
Linn County Will Elect Candidate for
Joint Senator.
ALBANY. Or., June 2. (Special.) Linn
County Republicans closed their cam
paign tonight with an enthusiastic rally
in the Albany Opera-House. Hundreds of
citizens were present, and great enthu
siasm prevailed. H. M. Cake, of Port
land, was the principal speaker of the
evening, and made a rational plea for the
support of the Republican ticket. He was
heartily received.
George V. Wright. Republican nominee
for State Senator.' nnd County Treasurer
James Klklns, candidate for re-election,
also spoke. County Chairman J. S. Van
winkle presided.
The Democrats closed their campaign
here with a- rally in the Courthouse in the
afternoon.
The outlook is good for the entire Re
publican ticket in this county. The fight
on State Senator, Sheriff and Clerk is
close, but the other offices are generally
conceded to the Republicans. Unjust at
tacks in the Marion County press on
Frank J. Miller, Republican nominee for
joint State Senator for Linn and Marion
Counties, have rallied all the factions
here to his support and Linn County will
stand with him irrespective of party.
RALLIES IX THE OPEN AIR
Republican and Democratic Spell
binders in Close Company.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 2. (Special.)
Rival open-air meetings were conducted
by the candidates' on the Republican and
Democratic tickets tonight on two of the
prominent street corners of the city, the
places of meeting being but a block dis
tant from each other. Senator Brownell
was the principal speaker for the Repub
licans, who held their meeting on' the
Courthouse lawn, and addresses were
made by the other candidates on the leg
islative and county tickets.
Charles V.. Galloway, candidate for
Congress, and the Democratic candidates
for the Legislature and for county offices,
spoke at the other meeting.
Chairman Schuebel. for the Republicans,
feels confident that every man on the Re
publican state and county tickets will re
ceive a majority of the votes at Monday's
election. Wagers are being made that
Withycombe will carry the county by at
least 300 majority, and It is a reasonable
certainty that the handsome vote given
Bourne at the primary election will be
duplicated Monday.
Closing Rally at The Dalles.
THE) DALLES, Or., June 2. (Spe
cial.) The closing Republican rally of
the' campaign was held here tonight at
the Vogt Opera-House, Wallace Mc
Cammant, of Portland, being the
speaker of the evening. A large audi
ence greeted Mr. McCammant, , who
was introduced by F. W. Wilson in a
short and spicy speech. Music was
furnished by the Commercial Club
Band, which escorted the speaker to
the halL
Aside from the rivalry between can
didates for county offices, there Is lit
tle evidence of an approaching state
campaign. Such apathy has never
been Bhown before in Wasco County,
which undoubtedly forecasts a light
vote on Monday.
Rousing Meeting at Corvallls.
CORVALLIS. Or.. June 2. (Special.)
The Republicans . closed their cam
paign here tonight with a rousing
meeting at the Courthouse. The prin
cipal address was by Frank Motter, of

Republican meeting and a large audi
ence greeted the Multnomah County

crats, who had imported the Pilot Rock
Band for the. occasion, the people
seemed to drift naturally to the Repub
lican meeting-. The opera-house w-as
pacKed . to hear Senator Malarkey
speak. .while a straggling few greeted
the Democratic orators.
Big Rally at New berg. '
NEWBERG. Or.. June 2. (Special.)
George A. Brown and Judge J. . Mag
ers were the main speakers at a Re-?
publican rally heldi here tonight. It was
a fine meeting and enthusiasm was at a
high . pitch. Chamberlain's sweeping
claims as the dispenser of all things good
were disproved to the evident satisfac
tion of the big crowd. Yamhill will roll
tip a biff majority for the entire Repub
lican ticket, from present Indications: .

TRUCE DECLARED AT KLAMATH
r
Street Railway Contraction ' to Be
Suspended for a Time.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. June 2. (Spe
cial.) At the end of one week, during
which the Klamath Development Com
pany has constructed track for a street
railway over the greater portion of dis
puted streets, also desired by the Klamath
Canal Company, which has built con
siderable track, a truce has .been - de
clared in the street conflict.
It has been agreed that construction
will be suspended pending the return of
President A. H. Naf tiger, of the De
velopment Compeny, from New York,
when terms of adjustment will be con
sidered by the heads of the two corpora
tions. The result seems to be a victory
for the Development Company, an auxil
iary of the California Northeastern Rail
road, and was arrived at in consequence
of the arrival of G. X. cnuling. vice-
JLpresldent of that corporation.
TO HOLD THE MEN
Subcontractors Want Saloons
on St. Paul Right of Way.
CONTRACTOR IS OPPOSED
Would PayV King County for. Three
Licenses and Not Fse Them, but '
- ...
. Commissioners Will Not
Consider the Proposal.
SEATTLE.,- Wasfi., "Jund J. (Special.)
Despite the protest made by H. C. Henry,
general contractor for the Chicago, Mil
waukee &, St, Paul in- this state, the
King County Commissioners will grant li
censes for the sale of liquor along the
right of way of the St. Paul road.
Sub-contratcors who will build the road
under the direction of Mr. Henry and
the company engineers want saloons lo
cated near their camps. Entirely apart
from the Insistence of the liquor inter
ests the' attitude of the subcontractors is
sufficient to determine the Commlssoners'
course. The railroad company itself has
no interest in the matter, aside from re
fusing saloon locations on their own
right of way.
The argument la made by the subcon
tractors that If the railroad laborers
have no cahnce to get liquor within a
convenient radius after pay day they will
Immediately hurry off to the cities. Once
there it would bo almost impossible to
get them back until their money Is gone.
Contractor Henry assumed that the la
borers with easy communication with
saloons would become Intoxicated fre
quently and the contractors would be
worried repeatedly with the problem of
getting a day's work out of a whisky
soaked crew. Subcontractors figure such
results are better than attempting with
no crews at all.
Mr. Henry offered. If no saloon licenses
were granted to take- out three, and pay
the county fees, refusing to open any
liquor emporiums. The Commissioners
were never in a mood to consider this
proposal seriously.

HIGH RENTS AND INABILITY TO
RENEW LEASE LEAVES NO
ALTERNATIVE.
A Plain Statement of Facts of Inter
' est to All Doors of Famous
"Quarter Block of Fine Pianos" to
Close in a Few . Days Wholesale
Business to Be Transacted .From
Warehouse, Thirteenth and North
nrp Streets A Few Sale Prices
The Lowest Ever Printed.
The chief topic of conversation among
capitalists, business and professional men.
In fact, the entire populace, has been the
announced retirement of Eilers Piano
House -from the retail piano and organ
business.
The news that the "famous quarter
block of tine pianos," the Mecca of the
entire Northwestern musical fraternity,
and pointed to with pride aa the only
establishment wherein nearly all of the
strictly iiigh-grade standard pianos, to the
number of from 700 to 750 are carried un
der one roof, came as a great surprise.
Rumors have even been circulated that
we were compelled to retire owing to dis
astrous . losses In the San Francisco ca
tastrophe, while a very few others have
figured It out that this sale is simply an
advertising ruse lu order to sell oft a lew
extra pianos and organs.
In regard to the nrst rumor, Eilers
Piano House, at San Francisco, though
containing the largest and most costly
stock of pianos and organs, was most
thoroughly protected by insurance of any
house in the city, and this Insurance will
Firobably be paid in full during the com
nsr week. The store is re-established at
San Francisco, and business will be con
ducted there more aggressively than ever.
As to the second rumor, "seeing is be
lieving." To those who may think that
this closing-out sale Is nothing more than
an advertising humbug we would extend
an earnest Invitation to look at the sale
prices, at the instruments and also at
the list of prominent buyers who have
taken advantage of the opportunity now
presented to secure a thoroughly high
class piano at less than what dealers ordi
narily pay at the factory for same. We
wish to state once more emphatically that
we are positively retiring irom tne retail
business, and until real-estate valuation
and rentals assume a normal, or, at least,
a more conservative aspect than at pres
ent, Eilers Piano House will be engaged
In the wholesale trade exclusively from
our establishment. Thirteenth and Nor-
tnrup street, which property we own.
The annual rental of any large, respon
sible mercantile establishment Is deter
mined upon a basis of a certain percent
age of the total business transacted.
When a rent is demanded that exceeds
this percentage more than threefold, and
when the rent totals practically the en
tire annual earnlnes of the retail business.
then there is certainly no alternative but
to retire rrom business. This situation,
and our many attempts to effect a re
newal of the former lease on an increased,
but what we consider a reasonable basis,
has been fullv exnlaineri In our nrAv mia
announcements. Suffice it to say that
the lease of the famous Eilers Piano
House expired May 31. We shall be here.

More pianos have been sold in Portland
during the past few davs than have been

great reduction In price has met the un

ple, in uregon, laano and Washington.
