coming day by day to be recognized
as a means of far-reaching good. She
has as an assistant a charming young
woman. Miss Kliza. Baker, and every
day these two are kept busy giving
lrssons in the plainest as well as the
fanciest kinds of cooking. Their ex

exrltement evry. day lately, for the
girls of the classes are constantly ap
pearing with engagement rings, and
Cupid seems to be partial to good
cooks. And now there are classes
forming for the married women who
can cook but are anxious to learn the

About February 1 we will inaugu

have found It absolutely necessary that
it be installed. This will be much the
same as the advanced cookery class,
and will be for those who do not wish
to take the regular course or the be

afford women who have had practical

Alfalfa la Introduced.
More than 21 years ago Mr. Curry,

fertile was the land of the Curry ranch
and so well adapted to the growing of
this particular grass that as many as
four crops were harvested in one year.
And this was done without irrigation.
The tract contains a limited amount
of timber, including cedar and fir. This
timber is being preserved and furnishes
excellent shade during the warm Sum
mer months. A small family orchard
adds to the attractiveness of the ranch,
and from this the family secures an
abundance of the season's fruits.
In laying out the ranch the owner
paid particular attention to the drive
ways, and there are more than four
miles of gravel roads.

The Oregonian's Annual New Year's
edition was a splendid exponent of the
growth of Portland and the State of
Oregon during 1912. The Illustrations
of the business section of the city were
especially fine, and showed the ex
panslve growth made during the year
in large business structures, xne edi
tion recites that In 1912 $4,484,857 was
spent for street and sewer improve
ments. The total length of hard-sur
face streets was increased to 2j2 miles.
One immense bridge across the Wil
lamette River was completed and
another was nearly finished. And the
$1,600,000 Courthouse was nearly com
pleted. The erection of a $450,000 Cen

Long Category of Prizes Attract
Owners of Feliner Pets.
Entries for the annual show of the
Oregon Cat Club which' will be held in
Meier & Frank's store, January 23-25,
closed Saturday, with many score of
pets of high degree upon the entry
books, and the committee in charge
of the show predicts that it will be
the largest of its kind every held on
the Pacific Coast.
The prize list 1h much larger than it
has ever been before, and contains
trophies offered not only by local cat
lovers, but by organizations outside of
the state.
Silver cups, medals and merchandise
compose the list of awards, which
reaches a total of more than 100. Every
class in the show is covered by three
or more prises, and the long category
of prizes offers a chance for almost
every conceivable style, color or moaei

A Dozen Carloads
In a Single Day
Enormous wholesale business done
by Eilers at 15th and Pettygrove
streets.
What do you think of a house that
in one single day received twelve solid
carloads of costly pianos and in the
same day reloads six of them?for ship
ment to interior points t This is
actually the record of one day's busi
ness at Eilers immense wholesale
establishment, located at 15th, 16th
and Pettygrove streets. Undoubted
ly this one day's record is more pianos
than all other dealers in Oregon han
dled for the whole of last year.
This gives some idea of the enor
mity of the Eilers business, which is
now acknowledged the largest piano
selling establishment in the world. As
to the enormity of the variety the
Eilers customers are afforded, and in
dicative further -of the immense scope
on which this big institution operates,
suffice to say that at the present
time over 1200 pianos are in stock in
Portland alone, representing in figures
nearly half a million dollars.
This enormous business has been
built up solely on the Eilers policy of
quick sales and small profits and
money back if not satisfied. Today
Eilers stores can be found in every
city of importance from San Diego to
Alaska and throughout the Inland
Empire. The Eilers success is a last
ing example of what it means to give
the most for the money and to stand
back of every promise made.
