THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1907. Several reasons why the TAYLOR PIANO HOUSE is getting the PIANO BUSINESS of MARSHFIELD and COOS COUNTY: I I U First We have the best pianos. Second We sell them cheaper than our competitors. Why? Because we buy them cheaper than our competitors, having the backing of the Eiler Piano House, one of the largest concerns doing business on the Pacific Coast. We profit by their ability to buy in large quantities, which enables us to get such low freight rates. This places us in a position to sell to the consumer as cheaply as the small dealer can buy from the factory. We handle over twenty different makes of the best pianos on the market. Out of every hundred cars of pianos shipped to the Pacific Coast in the year ending February, 1, 1907, seventy-two and one-eighth per cent was shipped to the Eiler Piano House, leaving twenty-seven and five-eighths per cent for all the other dealers on the Pacific Coast. In other words, Eiler's sold three-quarters of all the pianos that were sold on the Pacific Coast in that time. This is due entirely to the methods we adopted in handling our business when this firm was established. We carry on our piano business the same as every successful merchant, strictly on commercial basis. We buy close, sell close ,handle nothing but the best and sell on the easiest possible terms. Our aim is to satisfy our customers. We tend strictly to our own business. We never slander our competitor, nor use any mean methods in getting our business. Every piano that goes out of our store is strictly guaranteed as we represent it or money refunded. We are here to give you value for your money and will be glad to assist you in every way possible in the selection of an instrument.

The Chamber of Commerce meet ing, President McCormac in tho chair and Secretary Lyons officiating hs ecrlbo, convonod in tho organization's rooms last evening and tho usual in terest was mnnlfestod. Tho minutes of the last two meet ings wero read and approved. The secretary reported that ho had re ceived a letter from Col.

Receipted bills for lumber used L in connection witli tho fruit exhibit F were received from tho Smith Lura- f bor company as a contribution and ' also a rocoipted bill from Mr. Boll of k tho olectric light company for globes L used in tho windows. On motion a Y voto of thanks was oxtonded by tho f chamber to both donors for their con- slderation. rt Tho secretary reported that Olds, i Wortman & 'King of Portland, largo department store, had writton him offoring tho uso of one of their largo v Bhow windows for a fruit exhibit for t X1n J"tA. ..... n.mliinta ft.. tnnMnn If lyUUQ UUU1UJ IIIUUUblDt Vtl lUUkluil . b Jr waivoted to accept tho offer and to provide for tho exhibit sovoral boxes of tho best apples obtainable. ' A letter from C. A. Smith was read In which tho writer stated that ho v would bo in Marshfield shortly and would take up tho matter of a hotel ? subscription with tho committee. ' Tho president mado somo vory In- ' toresting remarks on tho subject of f tho fruit oxhibit and tho credit Uuo t Mr. Snover for his address which sot E tho people of tho county on flro In f favor of fruit culture. Ho stated that f. It was now shown that tho bench t and hill lands of Coos County woro $ "very vaiuuuiu ior mo iiiuuutuuu m ' fruit and cited several Instances to j show that fruit culture was a decided success on such lands. He asked that any one present speak en that or any other subject which might oc cur to them. Mr. F. S. Dow spoke of finding somo evidences of codlln moths in two places and how necessary it was tor all the farmers and fruit growers of tuo district to act Immediately with tho view of preventing the spread of the pest. They should de stroy the first signs of it and should take great pains with their orchards. They should also make a careful in spection of all tho trees, fruits and particularly pears shipped In from San Francisco or California to pre vent the bringing In of the San Jose scale. This was a most important subject nnd should not bo neglected for a moment. Mr. Francis H. Clarke called atten tion to tho success which had attend ed tho advertising of the Gravensteln as a leader and tho valuable aid which Its selection had contributed to tho advertising of all other fruits. Mr. I. S. Smith stated that one prominent business man had said to him that ho would contribute a sum of monoy for prizes overy year for a prominent fruit exhibit if such an exhibit could bo held an a largo scale. iio suggested that tho chamber oxhibit could bo held on a largo scalo next year and that It was not too early to begin laying plans. Mr. Clark suggested that It would bo well for tho chamber not to de part from its legitimate purpose of initiating such enterprises as it had plenty of work to do In many differ out lines. Ho thought the chamber should arrango for tho assumption of this great work suggested by Mr. Smith, by having a committee ap pointed to seo that the fair was carried forward by tho citizens and business men. Tho work should be divided. Tho president called attention to tho fact that tho law divided tho state into four fair districts and tho fair at ltosoburg this fall was ono which tho stato appropriated money to sup port. Ho bolleved Marshfield could havo tho noxt fair aud that Its right would bo conceded. Tho secretary btated that ho had beou giving some thought to his mat tor and believed that tho next legis lature should bo asked to piovldo for tho organization of a West Coast Fair District to includo Coos and Curry counties nnd a part of Douglas coun ty, tho Idea being that tho district would bo altogether this sldo of tho mountains. In tho meantimo ho be llovod It would bo well to havo a commlttoo to look after the porma- nency of the exhibition and arrang ing for tho next year's exhibit. On motion it was voted that the presi dent appoint a committee of three to take up the matter of an exhibit for 1907 with a view to extending Its scope and getting the district fair. The president appointed F. B. Walte, chairman, and.F. S. Dow and Francis H. Clarke as the fair committee. On motion tho meeting adjourned. GRATER LAKE FOR RESORT Series of Hotels Planned for National Park Will Be Tourists' Mecca. 3000 VISITORS A YEAR New Honds to Hi Built on Lower Grades Harriman "Was Interested. ' Medford, Ore., Sept. 18. A wagon road around the rim of Cra ter lake, a series of hotels in tho Na tional park, and a new wagon road to the lako from the Uoguo river side, aro part of the program of improve ments planned for tho lako next sea son and tho seasons following. Will G. Steele, presidont of tho company holding the concessions for Crater Lake park, passed through Medford yesterday en routo to Kla math falls. Ho reports a very busy season at tho lake, despite tho fact that ho did his best to dfscourago travel becauso ho was not prepared to properly provido accommodations. "Probably 3,000 persons visited Crater lake this summer," said Mr. Steele. "Of these, fully five-sixths wero from California nnd other states. Everyono who enmo mar voled at the lako as one of tho great est scenic wonders of the world. Hurrluum in Itnptui-cs. "Tho most enthusiastic visitors woro E. II. Harriman and Secretary J. It. Garfield. Mr. Harriman reit erated over and over again tho state ment that Crater lako was without a rival in tho world, and that no where could its scenery be equaled. Ho cruised for hours back and forth nbout tho lake, seemingly unable to feast his eyes enough. "Tho government is now making a road around the lake along the rim of the crater," continued Mr. Steel, "and it is expected that it will be completed half way round by the close of next season. Doing A way with Grade. "Between 30 and 50 men aro at work under Superintendent Arran on the Rogue rived sldo of the divide, making a new grade to obviate the steep grade just this side of tho su perintendent's house. This road will be finished this year, so that tho worst hill on the Medford side will be done away with. "Our company is now erecting a large kitchen at the superintendent's house, and another at the lake. With these two kitchens complete, we will be able to care for sightseers. A great many tents will be provided for the accommodation of tourists, and hay and grain will be supplied. Co-operation Needed. "As soon as the road is com pleted a distance around the rim of the crater we will erect another kitchen there. These kitchens each represent the nucleus of a hotel, and will bo added to as business justifies. "The government is planning to do a lot of work this coming year. When the railroad to Klamath Falls is extended to Natron it will pass within ten miles, but I don't think tho extension will be made for years."

Con stantino on trial for tho murder of Mrs. Gentry, today testified in his own behalf. He declared tho woman quarrelled incessantly with her hus band. On tho day of tho tragedy, Constantino announced he was going away. Tho woman asked h'lm to take her with him. Constantino refused. Sho then picked up the razor with which he was shaving himself and cut her throat. Ho left tho woman "CRYSTAL" standing there to run for another doctor. While doing so, ho noticed his sleeve was covered with blood. He feared If he returned he would be arrested and would not have been given a fair trial, as ho was a stran ger in the city and without friends. Tho state introduced a letter from Mrs. Gentry to her husband, of an affectionate tone, to prove that Gen try and his wife were on good terms immediately before her death. BRICKS' P. S.
