In course of construction. The boys

love for his fellow being was a marked
characteristic, his heart was full of sym
pathy and kindness, and in bis quiet, gen
tle way he carried on a charitable work
that was scarcely known to his most In
timate friends. He was the consoler to
those in trouble, the good adviser of
young men, the visitor of the sick and
needy. His clerical ability he gave freely
to those who wore in need of it. For SI
years he stood in-the name place. ' with
dignity, honesty and ability, and died at
his post and competent to the end. There
will be many from all parrs of the West
who will miss his kindly smile and wel
come greeting.
Mr. Boynton was a consistent Chris
tian, being a charter member of the
Hassalo-Street Congregational Church.
He was also a Royal Arch Mason. He
had one peculiar characteristic, an ab
horrence of anything that was even on
the border of dishonesty or crime or any
kind. Yet he was the first one to make
excuses for the wrongdoer and to extend
Bympathy and help to him.
The many, many expressions of good
will that have been made since Mr. Bovn
ton's death would suggest an epitaph' that
might well be placed on his tombstone,
"He was a fine Man."
I want to add a personal line. He was
my friend and chum for 35 years and he
was one of the Jolliest. most agreeable
and pleasant persons possible. His mor
als were high-class, but he was not a
prude, and loved a good joke or fun of
any kind. During our entire companion -
ship not one jarring note was heard. I
shall miss him always.

Receive First Communion.
Sunday, June 7, first communion serv
ices were held at St. Mary's Catholic
Church in Alblna. At 9 A. M. a long
list of boys and girls received their
first communion. In the afternoon they
'were enrolled in the Scapular of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel. and the services
closed with a benediction of the blessed
sacrament. Father Butler, S. J., of
Corvallis. preached the children's re
treat. The chilriren came from the
Tribute to Memory of Long-Time
f Portland Resident.
"C. B. Woodworfh. a personal friend of
the late John Edwin Boynton. who died
last Thursday In this city, has written
the following sketch of Mr. Boynton's
life and tribute to his character:.'
John Kdwln Boynton was born in Pep
perell. Mass.. . December 28. 1836. His
boyhood was spent on his father's farm.
When 21 years old he went 10 Boston.
Mass. He was married to Miss Abbie G.
Bates In Maiden. Mass.. In 1861. where
he engaged in the grocery business, leav
ing there for Sulem. Or., In 18S9. where
he followed his former business until 1877.
At that time h moved lo Portland, tak-
Ing a position with l.add & Tilton. bank- j
ers. as note teller, which position he
filled until his death.
Mr. Boynton had a strong constitution,
although of a rather frail appearance. I
and had but one severe sickness until :
about two months ago. when he was
taken down with BriRht's disease. From
Ihis he rallied, but an attacK of pleurisy
set in and. In his weakened condition, he
was unable to resist it. His suffering
was intense fur the last three days, but
the end was peaceful, his death occurring
Thursday June 11. 1908. at 2 A. M.. Ut his
residence, 9 East Ninth street North. He
had three sons. Bdwln. Clarence and
George. Edwin died before leaving the
East. Clarence was killed by falling in a
well 26 years ago In this city. Ho is sur
vived by his wife and youngest son.
George, two grandchildren, a brother and
a sister, the last two now living In Pep
perell. Mass.
Such Is the brief history of Mr. Boyn
ton. but there Is more tnan mere events
to be recorded: he was worthy to be
classed as one of "God's Good M;n." His

PIANO EXCHANGE AND
BARGAIN ROOM
A Wonderful Success From the Start, Caused by
Progressive and Modern Busi
ness Methods.
All large businesses, if they are conducted on modern
and up-to-date methods must have new, clean stocks in
their salesrooms and to keep the etock free from shop
wear, or goods with small defects or slow-sellingr articles
overstocks, damaged goods, etc.. the modern storekeeper,
when necessary, makes a general "house cleaning" at
"sacrifice prices" to cause quick sales turn his investment
into live capital and at same-time make new friends as
well as to have the old patrons come to him for their needs.
We have all watched for these special offerings to see
what was advertised something we were in need of, etc.,
and at once hurried down to "pick up" the particular bar
gain. If we found it as advertised we bought also told
our frienda about it and. besides, if we were satisfied, we
had a reason for going back again and sending our friends.
The above clearly outlines the up-to-date modern
methods in storekeeping Its useful and helpful and its
business building it's the Eilers Piano House idea, and baa
been a wonderful success from beginning.
And now, another new feature the Piano Exchange and.
Bargain Room nicely fitted up large and convenient
Basement, corner Park (8th) and Washington, entrance at
353 Washington. Gentlemanly and polite salesmen to -conduct
you through the rooms and show you the stock and
here you will find about every known make they come to
the Piano Exchange and Bargain -Room from different
sources. Some of the finest Chickerings. Steinways. Webers.
Sohmers. Hazeltons. Knabes, Klmballs, and many others in
exchange for the wonderful Weber or Steck or Wheelock or
Stuyvesant Pianola Pianos. Then we have a large assort
ment of various good makes taken as part pay on Weber
and Chickering or Kimball Grands; in fact, we get good
pianos from a dozen different sources. Pianos from rents,
samples that show blemishes styles that have been dropped
from the new catalogues, sample pianos sent on approval,
quite often a carload comes in damaged in transit the
claim Is adjusted, or we are allowed to dispose of the ship
ment at quick sale, to best advantage and then make final
settlement.
To separate all the above special bargains from our reg
ular stock the piano exchange and bargain room a distinct
and separate, department was created and all instruments
that enter its doors go out to "bargain hunters" at a fourth
to a half actual value, and to anyone needing such, an instru
ment, described above, will find here quite an advantage
from large selection and beyond question a price on each
that is less than you could ordinarily expect
Tho Ann tells the "publicity department" fW sell them and
the "vellow sale tags" do the rest. Today and all week, or
as long as they last, we have bargains, values never before
shown in Portland and would be impossible at any other
place. It is not the low prices alone in the piano exchange
and bargain to which we particularly call your attention,
but to the pianos themselves, every one of which will stand
the test of critical examination and comparison.
This Is not ordinary piano selling. It's most extraordi
narv. Profit is not a factor. Cost is not considered by the
publicity department. To all to whom economy is any object
