Build (Umpqua Valley News.) The word necessity, In all Us vari ed applications, is one of the strong est and most meaning words in all the English language, and carries with Itself a concentrated force and enorgy exceedingly far reaching. It was necessity that founded the noman Empire, and necessity that overthrew it. Necessity discovered America, and the same force peopled Its great valleys and plains. Neces sity has organized, supported, and annihilated political parties for ages. Necessity has raised armies, and con quered empires. Necessity has dot ted tho world with cities and towns, projected long and short lines of rail ways to and through all counties, and scattered gr.eat ships over all , waters. Necessity has drawn from Mother EactVtho millions of raw material, "-Jind turned millions of wheels to manufacture tho samo. Necessity Is a world conqueror, and knows neith er restriction nor defeat. Necessity will puadruple tho population and wealth of the whole West, within tho coming quarter of a century, and sho will do it without effort or ostenta tion. Necessity will construct and maintain now developments andm provemonts throughout Oregon ami Douglas county, and necessity will build an adequato transportation lino between Roseburg and Coos Bay. Necessity demands that such a road bo now built, and It will bo accom plished. It Is really a dlfllcult mat tor to suggest a public Improvement wherein necessity can bo more strongly urged. Necessity pushed to completion tho old Oregon & California Railroad Ijetweon San Francisco and Portland. Tho samo necessity will compel tho building of n connecting lino between Kosoburs and Coos Bay. For many years necessity has operated a stago lino ovor said routo, but now neces sity will havo to lay tho lorn rails. Necessity, howover, soldom accom plishes much until fully matured. It Is Idlo to ask If tho road will bo built, for all must concede It. Tho portl nont question to ask is, "When will tho road bo built?" Tho answer Is, "As soon as necessity Is fully ma tured."

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, 1 907, 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 mearf 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. 2S0 Call asm hear DEMOCRACY WINS FOUR OUT OF FIVE Oklahoma Gives Republican's Little Satisfaction Bulk of Offi cials Democratic.

FARMERS LOSE PRODUCE SHIPPED TO CITIES It comes to Tho Times that there Is a great amount of dissatisfaction on tho part of farmers who send pro duce to tho cities of the bay. It is a common thing for shippers who send produce to either Marshflcld or North Bond to get returns for much loss thnn they forward by tho various ooats which ply tho wnters of tho bay and sovoral Inlets. Nobody has yet been able to learn whero tho shortages occur, but there is no de nying that thoy do occur. Tho mer chants havo become alarmed lest thoy bo accused of shorting the farmers who ship to them, and sev eral havo lot produce stand bn tho wharves until farmers havo been asked to witness tho disparage in bulk of commodities between tho tlmo thoy nro shipped nnd tho time whon thoy nro ready for tho mer chant.

But it is also possible to pay too much. If considering a piano purchase, in vestigate carefully the qualities of our pianos. Pianos that for years have been held in the highest esteem among the best musicians and truly music loving people for their HONEST, CONSCIENTIOUS, skillful, thorough workmanship and their sweet and powerful tone qualities. Built to give a lifetime's service. Instruments that actually improve in tone as the years pass; pianos worth more at second hand than most are when new. NOT LOW PRICED, BUT THE FULLEST, most sat isfactory, SAFEST money's worth in the piano market. We are not paying 20 per cent for the privilege of representing any Portland or San Fran cisco house, but are buying DIRECT from manufac turer, and you can buy here as good a piano on as sound and economic a standpoint as though you were dealing direct with the heads of as large a piano concern as there are in the United States. W. R. Haines Music Co, 'PHONE 1441 -CITY. X" ? v xxoooi Seeking Better Routes. Tho Portland Journal contains tho following which will be interesting to many non-sea'arlng peoplo among tho now arrivals to the coast who throng Marshfield streets: Going back to Hongkong from this port the Portland & Asiatic liner Arabia will take a now course, since Captain Neumann and his officers believe that they will be ablo to find a new routo more feasible than that known as the great circle routo which is tho shortest distance between two given points on tho globo. Tho great circle routo between Portland and tho orient carries the steamers near tho Aleutian islands, but tho current thero sets strongly toward tho American continent, so that westbound craft havo to contend with a heavy head current. To over come this tho steamers steer a little to the south of the imaginary line and thereby save time, although really traveling a longer distance. Captain Neumann and his officers have figured out recently that by steorlng a new course the current cannot only be overcome, but the: tunes. Jv ay. I uet steamer will also be able to escapo tho head winds that aro usually en countered In that part of tho world at this time of the year. If these calculations prove correct, and if the season proves somewhat of tho ordi nary, the Arabia will probably estab lish a new record between this port and Yokohama. Officers of the Portland & Asiatic liners NIcomedia, Neumantla, Arabia and Alesla aro continually engaged In taking observations that will lead: to the discovery of the best possible routes between different parts of the world, and lengthy articles of scien tific nature have been printed in Ger man concerning tho voyages be tween Portland and Yokohama, tho effects of the elements upon the progress of the liners and deductions; formed therefrom. Several of these works havo boji turned over to John McNulty, nauti cal expert of tho hydrographlo office at this place, who will have them translated and forwarded to the chlor of his department at Washington, to whom they will undoubtedly provo of- much value. r Piano .
