Mr. Parker then returned to Ashland and confronted Combs with ths facts he had learned, but the young man stoutly und Vigorously denied them. Parker, not to be trifled with, then forced .Combs to go to Medford for tin purpose of Identification. Yesterday af ternoon. In company with the irate father, a brother and uncle of the girl. Combs was taken to Medford, where he was fully ldentlned by hotel people and the livery stable man who had cared for his team, as having been In Medford Thurs day night with Myrtle Parker. The sweating process he had been put through en the trip to Medford yester day end the identification proved too Strong foe him. and Combs broke down, confessed his guilt and consented to go to Portland with Mr. Parker on last ev ening's train and find Myrtle, whom he said he had told to go to the St. Charles HOtel, where he would follow her by the train which Jeft Ashland today.. He also expressed a desire and a willingness, it Is said, to endeavor to, aa far as possible, amend the wrong he had been guilty of. Combs has heretofore had a good rep utation. He came to Ashland four years ago from Linn County, and with his brother has been engaged in the wood sawing business. Mvrtle Parker was born at Parker's Station, on the Ashland-Klamath Kails road, and has lived all her life there and In Ashland. Bhe belongs to a well-known pioneer family of Southern Oregon, posed of one way or the other. There was a disposition a few days ago to pass his ordinance, but a change seems to have come over the members of the council and the fate of the measure Is now problematical. Besides these measures the usual sur-. prises win no doubt be sprung, and the regular roslina business. , ... ON TRIAL A SECOND TIME The second trial ojt A. T.

In a letter to Fred 8. Morris, of Morris & Whitehead, bankers, of this city. Dr. Charles 1. Eberle, one of the party of Kitstern capitalists that were here a short time ago as the guests of Morris A Whitehead, Incloses the Impressions of Oregon on his party as follows: 1 cannot believe the years for me In transit can ever dim the vivid impres sions made upon my mind as I noted the vast stride the footprints of one decade had marked upon the development and power of the Paclrlc Coast. It would seem as though the struggling Infant had leaped at one bound from Its cradle Into full puberty, casting aside Its swaddling clothes to be panoplied In the Impregna ble armor of conscious resource and might. Cold figures of statistics oan de termine the material evolution of . com mercial growth, but they fall to express the animus of 'the man behind the hoe;' the man whose pluck, patience and per severance harneHHes opportunity lashing It toward the goal. Contrast, if you will, the conditions of settlement and develop ment governing the sections extreme east and west, and it becomes a matter of easy prophecy to foretell the early future of the Western realm. "The East, at tiret an asylum for those of the old world who sought avenues of escape from the oppressor upon their re ligious or civic rights; In many instances themselves fanatics whose primal motive toward its shores was greed of gain, or the establishment of unorthodox commu nities as intolerant as those from which they fled.

The sawmill just erected at the Norway and Sweden mines at Spirit Lake is, now sawing out lumber to be rused In the construction of new buildings and roads, and a three drill air compresser is being installed .in one of the mines.

MORE ABOUT THE NEW WAY Co-Ope rati ve Piano Buying In augurated at Ellers Piano House Wholesale Prices to In dividual Buyers on Best Pi anos. Made Possible Through tbe Piano Club System Buy ers Coming In at Every Hour. Ever watchful In our efforts to secure the beet In value and merit In pianos and organs, and to give our patrons every ad vantage possible, we now have In opera tion a plan effecting a further very sub stantial saving to buyers. The principle of large, quick sales st Bmatl profits; of purchasing the best in struments In great quantities; handling and shipping them by the least expensive methods, and selling them at only very reasonable profits, which has made Ellers Piano House so Immensely popular. Is now made still more effective by the Inaugura tion of the club system, which practically enables purchasers to secure at wholesale prices the best of Instruments made In America. 'TWILL PAY YOU TO LOOK INTO IT. The plan Is simple, safe and the saving great. Briefly stated, each club stands collectively in the position of a wholesale buyer, puecfeasing -ne--'hundrd pianos." This makes it possible for us to make the same concessions to club members that we would to a bona fide wholesale buyer, but which could not be made to each member of the club as a regular retail or Individual buyer. The clubs will befour. and are desig nated, "A," "B." "' and "D." and each one Is limited to but one hundred mem bers. You can Join whichever one you please, make your Initial payment and se cure the instrument In your house st once, without-any waiting, any dues or assessments just a plain, clean, straight deal, without a bit of red tape. Members of Club "A" will have to pay but 15.00 down and small weekly Install ments of Sl.ZS. Those who Join Club "B" will pay 17.60 first, and then l.0 weekly. Club "C" members make a payment of $12.00 and the balance In n 12.00 weekly payments. Members of Club ' D ' will pay $20 00 down and $2.50 weekly. Or payments can be arranged on a cor responding monthly basis. But either wav, whatever piano you buy, be assured It is a first-class one. it Is accompanied bv the double written guarantee of Its manufacturer and ef this house, and is kept in tune for you by us, free of charge, for oue year. NOW AS TO PRICES. The following will give you some Idea of the saving the piano club affords you: Pianos priced at $225 go to club mem bers for $137; $275 pianos for $164; pianos that sell regularly for $300 for $187; and the finest medium-grade instruments, that cannot possibly be sold under any other conditions for les than $S50. by the club system go for $307. The highest grade, fancy and hand-carved pianos, the regu lar price of which is $500, go for $157. and $400 sly lee for M07. There are only 400 pianos In the club and only four hundred members are pos sible: You will understand, therefore, that the earlier you Join, the safer you are. Ellers Piano House.
