' Good Words ; y For Astoria Mrs. Edith Tozier-Weatherred, Ed itor of "The Exposition," Re ' turns From the East Mr. Edith Toiler-Wetherred, editor of "The ExponUion Mugailne" and Bt. 1.0UI World' fair commissioner for the atate of On-gon, arrived in the city yftitrduy, en mute to Hrsstde. Mr. W?therrd hs Jut returned from At lantic; City, N. J., where Mh attended the mwtlns f .the Inti-r-Ntulonul Leag ue of Press Club he'd there, and she also attended the convention of the Na tliilml Editorlut Association held at Omaha, Neb. During her tour ahe has been.M'atterlnir copies of "The Exposit ion" containing the Illustrated article on t'lutsop county, and It does not re quire extended comment to aay that wherever ahe went the people with whom ahe came In contact learoeditame thing they never before had known or Imugtned . concerning the picturesque resourceful atate of Oregon. Mra. Wetherred any that ahe like Astoria, which at once entitle her to conalderatlon at the hand of Aatorla people. "I think it one of the beat plae- ea of business In the" atate," she aaya, "and outaide of Portland I. hear It men tioned oftener and more favorably than any other aectlon of the atate. During the Lewi and Clark centen nial the people here have a dlatlnct advantage over any other locality In tin Northwest. Historically the city will bo brought Into great prominence, and commercially you are muking rapid atrtde and will continue to quicken and widen the gait." . Hut while ahe haa word of pralae for the city and Ita enterprlalng chl sens, ahe offers a few timely suggest Ion that find a keynote In the words "push-, opportunity and enterprise." She addresses herself not ao particularly to the people of Astoria aa to the people of Oregon generally when ahe . aaya: "Whut the iieople of Oregon need la more punh and lea knockera. When we succeed In eliminating selfishness, Jealousy, kicker and moaabncklam and P t t-igi'thr for the greatent good for the gventest number we will accomplish something and great thing will ma tetlnllxe for the advancement of the en tire at'ite.

They are unequalod In the Vnlted States. I am aurprlsed thut the railroads do not make a special fenture of them for sum mer excursions by advertising the east' em and middle west resorts more ex tenslvely. 1 appreciate, of course, there la one great obstacle, and that la lack of hotel accommodations, but these con dlttons could be quite easily adjusted. While we hnve good hotels at reason able ratea which meet the present re quirements, yet a fine hotel with beau tiful ground at one of the beach re aorta would be a well paying Invest ment. It I owned property at Seaside I would not rest until a plank walk was constructed fro-n Gearhart to the Sea side house. A walk five or six feet wide with benches and probably rolling chairs would be a great drawing card for the'plce- Thla la only one of the little Improvementa that could be made at a very small cost, but there are numeroua othera. "I distributed the Issue of "The Ex position" containing the article on Clot sop county and Astoria throughout the East, that Is to aay wherever I went In Chlcagi, 5. M. McKlnney of the Southern Pacific advertising bureau re ceived a package of the magazines. He told me they came at the fight time, for ho had received several letters call ing for information of Clntsop?ounty. Mr. McKlnney sent out several hun dred copies and said . he . could use many more hr-good advantage. P. E.

Here is New Tork's finest and most perfect piano, the won derful Weber, built on a principal en tirely different from all others. The greatest artists on earth use the Weber pianos "to the exclusion of all others, on account of their wonderfully sympathet ic tone qualities, combined with volume unequalled Jn any other make. ; j Every.; American ... piano, no'matter what the make.

Peter Henige In Hard Luck Alleged Victim of a Portland Em' ployment Agency Stranded In Astoria The attention of the district attorney ney's office has been called to the busl nes. method of certain employment agencies in Portland, several com plaints having been received from boy r.nd men who have been sent to Aatorla with ticket addressed to ficticious peo ple. These tickets are supposed to be the open sesame to positions, and the holders paid prices ranging from 11 to il tot them. When presented at the given addres, however, they either find that no such person or firm exists or that the people have not had business dealings with the employment agen cies. The vktl mis out the price of the trim, pink slip and also railroad fare and other expenses attendant on the trip. The latest victim of the so-called bus Ines methods to find himself stranded In Astoria Is a boy named Peter Henlge who received a circular letter of Intro duction to "S. R. Everett & Co." of AstorU. The circular was In blank, with the name of the boy, the position to which he had been asigned, driver of a team, and salary 2i per month, board and room. The little fellow hunt ed all day to locate the firm of Everett Il Co., but did not succeed, after which he sought out the police and told his troubles to the chief. The letter bore the name of the Alpine Employment Agency, 152 First street, Portland, and was signed by J. L. Wiggle, employ, ment agnt. Last week Henlge was sent from Port land to Astoria on a similar errand, by the Canadian Employment office, E. P. MeCroskey, manager, only to find that the position of flunkey bad been filled out about two . weeks previous thereto. He was again out his travel ing expenses, and nothing was done to reimburse toTm for this burden. The boy went to Deputy District At torney J. A. Eakln yesterday and gave him all the information he could on the subject, and Mr. Eakln took the matter up. It Is understood that steps will be taken to Bfford better protection to the people who pajronlxe employment to- boar more stringently In the future than has been the case In the past, A good piano, for which you would ordinarily expect to pay $250, can be ob tained now for $167, on payments of $17 down and $6 a month.. The highest class upright pianos,such as cannot ordinarily be bought for less I'han $500 and $550. go now at a saving of $135, yes, $150 and even more. Why we do it, how we can afford to do It, has been previously explained in our advertisements. Suffice it to say that the Instruments are here. They are here at the prices advertised. They are here accompanied by the regular factory guaranties, duly countersigned by the Eilers Piano House, the most reliable, and most responsible and the largest wholesale and retail concern in the west. . , We say to you "money back if the pi ano is, not entirely satisfactory or tn every way as represented.' Bring in $25 or more for first payment down, We know we can now please you ill a piano, and we know, too, that you will .never again have an opportun ity to purchase" such high-class instru ments at such enormous savings In price. Now, first thing tomorrow, Is the time for you to attend to this matter. Remember the place. Filers Exhibi tion sale, corner Ninth and Commer cial streets. In the Masonic building.
