BIG TURKEY SALE EXPECTED
Indications at Roscburg "Are Tluit
Thousands Will Be Purchased.
ROSBBfRO, Or., Nov. 13. (Special.)
indications are that several thou
sand turkeys will be purchased here
early next week preparatory to being
shipped to the Portland. Seattle and
tan Francisco markets for the Thanks
giving trade.
It is the general prediction of Rose
burg dealers that turkeys will be more
plentiful here this season than for
many years past. The prevailing
prices, it is said, compare favorably
with previous years. The dealers de
clare that the quality of this year's
birds will excel those of previous years
for tho reason that the weather of the
past Summer was ideal for the raising
of turkeys. Oakland probably will
market the largest number of turkeys
of any town in Douglas County.

M'AHTHUR TO HELP
IN DEFENSE PLANS
Representative, on Way to
Congress, Declares for
Laws for Settler.
RURAL CREDITS WANTED.
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.

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." '
