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.

Meeting.
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. Roessler
which assured the chamber that ho
would endeavor to have tho word
slough dropped from all maps as far
as navlgablo streams woro concerned.
Tho letter was read and placed on
-- - fllo. Receipted bills for lumber used

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.

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.

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."
