According to the San Francisco Call. th frequent desertions of sailors are not altogether due to th Influence brought to bear upon, them by runners for the boarding-house. The owners and cap tains of vessels are also to blame.,. They make it a point to profit by every de sertion and Ilk to see them occur often. An expedition Is being orranised In San Francisco to search for burled treasure on Cocos Island. Augustt GlBsler, lteu- tenantTroyernor of Cocoa for Costa Rica win head, the expedition. The steam schooner employes on the vessels plying in the Coast trade ask for shorter hour and more pay, and it Is said that general tie-up wl! occur un less their demands are granted. The steam schooner Navarro Is already tied up at San Franclsdo, and it Is quite probable that the steamers Brooklyn, Santa Monica, Point Arena and North Fork will soon do likewise. 1 , Captain O'Brien of the Eureka, which arrived In port yesterday to load lumber for Topolobampo, is well known to the pld-tlmers ,in Portland, having been here 30 year ago. , His life on the sea. has been an eventful one.

St. Johns Annexation. The promotors of the Incorporation movement at St Johns are about to give up their project on account of the indif ference of the residents of the proposed, town, and are now talking of having a bill Introduced In the next legislature for the purpose of bringing the suburbs Of St. Johns inside the city limits of Port land. Most of the residents are in favor of this plan and It Is likely that they will try to carry it out. A few years ago St Johns was inside the corporate limit of Portland, but there was a great deal of complaint among the-4eople of th the large taxes and the few benefits set ually derived, so the leglnlature gav them back their freedom. Now all this sentiment Is changed, and they say that if Portland will take them back that they will be good. Bad Holes in Street.

A dispatch from Olympla, Wash., says; 'The recent passage of the National irri gation bill which Is expected to do so much for the Northwest will have one effect which has been generally over looked. It will probably serve to stop the tremendous immigration from the United States iruo Northwest Canada by open ing up groat stretches of land for settle ment under Government protection. It la presumed that If the opportunities in tftelr tiwii countries are increased, farmers will not be so anxious to drift over into Canada for agricultural lands. 'Few people realize the extent of the drift across the border. J. J. Hill, presi dent of the . Great Northern estimates that 2.Q00 settlers went off his line into Manitoba between January 1 and June 1. 1903, and the loss of 25,000 American citisehs' is' something worthy of atten tion. The question becomes still more serious When It Is remembered that the Immigration into Alberta, Asslnibola and Other districts of the Northwest Terri tory is proportionately great with that Into Manitoba. Cheap fertile lands are plonttft'S oro the line where the loam Is rich and Inexhaustible, and everybody is willing- to give the settler the best of It. "From the 100th meridian west to the Cascade Mountains the district roughly knowa as the arid region, it is calculat ed there are 00,000,000 acres not now use ful for anything but rang which Irri gation would make highly productive. It Is thought development of these would materially decrease If not almost stop the rush into Canada, apd the consequent loss? to -the United States." RABBITS D? HARNEY COUNTY.

INVALUABLE POINTERS : BBTsasSSSSSSjSSSBBBSSSTBSSB?B Some Piano Facts You Should Thoroughly Understand How Eilers Piano House Enables You to Save Money and at the Same Time Get the Best Instrument Intending Purchasers Should Not Overlook This Cost to manufacture and expense in handling- and selling broods determine retail selllne; price." Cost of manufactarin- cannot' be reduced without im pairing the quality. , ' But reducing the cost of handling and cost of selling re duces retail price. ' This is the kernel of the question of price. Consequently the most important element In successful merchandising. A concern that deals in small quantities) cannot reduce the cost of handling goods. ' . It can only be accomplished by doing business on a large scale. , '- That's why the big houses in other lines of merchandis ing are making and have made such a success. That's why we are constantly increasing 'the volume of our business why we did the biggest business for the past three months of any piano house in the United States. We don't do business in the old time small way. Nevertheless every detail of this large business Is care- I fully looked after by competent experts. : j We buy for the four largest and busiest piano houses on the coast one in Portland, one in San Francisco, one in Spo- I kane and one in Sacramento. This enables us to reduce original cost In buying A manufacturer can afford to sell us cheaper when he gets a regular standing order from oucjour stores for so many each month than he could if we ordered only now and then for only one store. , That is clear. 1 So much for manufacturers' priceS We next save in handling expenses. Shipping in quantities saves freight. We ship, in carload lots In especially prepared cars which receive pianos-and organs without boxes. , We have our big wholesale department on Marshall St., with railroad tracks right at our receiving and shipping room. - Every detail of economically handling and shipping has been conquered by us. . .. What is the natural, what Is the inevitable result of all this? ' Simply that we are in a position to sell pianos and organs much cheaper than any other house on the Pacific Coast. ' For instant, a piano that will cost you $430 elsewhere and said to be reduced from $500 or $550, we will sell, owing1 to our superior facilities, for as smau aeaier nimseii must pay tne manufacturer; lor it. That's worth your consideration This much for price. Now for -quality. , We always take up this question with pride and pleasure, .; wnyr .. : Because we know we have the best, the finest pianos that money can buy. r That may. seem assurance, but it is the assurance that comes from years of experience in the piano business nd an exact knowledge of every piano on the market today. We have here the celebrated Chickering, of Boston tha beautiful Weber, of New York, and the now famous and sue perb Kimball, of Chicago. , ' We selected these Instruments because they, are made by three of the most responsible American piano manv ufacjturers, unquestionably making the best, the highest class pianos that can be produced. . Besides these we carry in stock more different makes of pianos than any other piano house in the United States. , The Vose, the Decker, the Crown (the many toned piano)' the Victor, the Schuman, the Hobart M. Cable, the Whitney, the Hinze, the Wheelock, the Pease, the Weser Bros., the Sherwood and Sons--these are some of them. It's worth a jrood deal to you to have large stock from which to make selections and comparisons. Whatever you may want In the piano line we are sure to have it. So much for the pianos. - "" Now for terms.
