Office to Be Maintained Here. Where ' Campaign for Kenomination Will Be Conducted AYnile He 11c mains at Desk In Capitol.- - Rural credits, more liberal homestead laws and National preparedness these are the principal items of legislation which will demand the attention of C. N. McArthur, Representative in Congress from the Third Oregon district, who, with Mrs. McArthur, started for Wash ington yesterday afternoon. "As I look at it," said Mr. McArthur before taking the train, "the chief busi ness of the coming Congress is to pro vide an adequate system of National de fense, to which policy I am strongly committed. "I believe also that the subject of rural credits will undoubtedly receive the serious attention of members of both Houses. This is something in which the Northwest Is particularly interested, as the further development of our agricultural lands depends largely upon proper methods of financ ing. Sane Rural Credit Law Wanted. "I am emphatically in favor of soma safe and sane plan of rural credits and I believe a workable law can be shaped out of the numerous measures on this subject that are ready to be introduced when Congress opens. How ever, I am not advocating any particu lar bill as yet." Representative McArthur, In the last few months, has interested himself in the present system of homestead laws. He believes that a more liberal set of such laws should be 'framed to make tho settlement of Western lands more attractive to the homeseeker. p "I expect to co-operate with the other members -of the Oregon delegation, re gardless of politics," he said, "to se cure the enactment not only of better homestead laws, but of other legisla tion in which the Northwest is inter ested." I.onjf Session Is Likely. Inasmuch as the coming Congress will have many important problems be fore it, an adjournment before earlv Summer is improbable. Mr. McArthur, in pursuance of his campaign promises, has arranged to stay in Washington un til after adjournment. This, despite the fact that he will have to contest for a renoralnatlon in the primary elec tion In Oregon next May. To accommodate the people of his district who may have business, with him, Mr. McArthur will maintain an office in the Yeon building. H. S. Mc Cutchan. a well-known local attorney, will be in charge. Mr. McCutchan. with Dr. Archie C. VanClevo and Frank Tem pleton, a Front-street merchant, will have charge of Mr. McArthur's cam paign for rcnomination next Spring. Mr. McArthur announced his candidacy a few weeks ago and at that time out lined his platform. Representative to Remain at Desk. That he will have to contest for the Republican nomination already is cer tain, as A. W. Lafferty. whom Mr. Mc Arthur defeated last Fall, already is in the rare. It is probable, too. that Judge E. V. Littlcfield will contest for the place. Unless Congress should adjourn be fore the primaries which at this time appears entirely improbable Mr. Mc Arthur wi!l be in Washington while the primary campaign Is in progress. One of the first measures that he expects to introduce is a. bill provid ing for the transfer by the Federal Government of 240 acres of land ad joining the property upon which Mult nomah Falls is located to the City of Portland. It is Intended that this land be used.- together with the falls prop erty, as a public park. He also is interested In the project to build, a public highway around tht base of Mount Hood, and doubtless- will introduce a bill to that effect early In. the session. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur will stop in San Francisco to visit the exposition and then proceed to San"" Diego and other Southern California points. They will proceed East over the Santa Fe, visiting in Chicago and New York be fore going to Washington. They ex pect to arrive at the National capital about December 1. 0,-W. R. & N.

And yet how easy it is for me to play and yet to develop every beautiful piano effect, too who am no pianist at all ! "I see before me on the Pianola roll the straight dotted line whose position guides one o the volume of the music. I see on the opposite side of the roll the waving red line which I only have to follow with the Metrostyle pointer to play, in perfect time. I know that the Thcmo dist cuttings in the role will make the melody swell for me above the accompaniment; and that the Sustaining Pedal cuttings will carry the tone and make it sing as a real musician does. So I start. I bring out the calls of the birds clearly, musically', by a touch on one of the levers. I bring out the rippling trills by careful pedaling and a hint to that friendly lever which guides the time. I bring out, in fact, every won derful beauty the music possesses ajthough I have only had my Pianola a comparatively short time! It is all far, far different from the lifeless, mechanical, player pianos I have sometimes heard. "Even difficult music has become a joy now the Pianola allows nie to express my music instinct through its wonderful patented features -these splendid inventions that let one put the feeling' behind the mere piano notes."
