WEALTH OF SIBERIA.
That the greatest gold fields the world

emmt'y. Kastern Siberia, is -the opinion
of F.. II .yioiYiWan. a mining expert, who
has .insl returned from a U.neo-mile trip
if exploration through the Asiatic posses
sions ef Hin-sia. The Russians, he says,
took out $.'.iHiii.iiiin of srohl last year from
the placer deposits, and have not yet
begun to work the rpinrtz. The milling
method of ttie Russians are very crude.
Mr NT-Cowan says, and ihi not compare
with the American methods. , '
i'he exhaustive trip he nisde through
Siberia has convinced Mr. McCowan that
it is ill- richest unrleveloiM-d country on
the globe, and. from an agricultural
point, has greater possibilities than the'
wheat and corn growing sections of the
I'nlled States.
Before many years have elapsed." says
Mr McCowan. "Siberia will supply nil of
FJurope with grain. Many wheat farms
have already been opened, nnd the govern
ment Is encouraging immigration from
Kuropean Russia to this great and rich
r .ninti'!'.
"The Russians have not yet learned the
n.l! amines of using American aRrlcul
i ura I machinery, hut they are ipiiek to
harn and very shrewd, much shrewder
liiiu.lhe average Yankee. Hefore long

anos on the
Club Plan.
Everybody Joining the Clubs at
Eileri Piano House. No time
to Hesitate Ndw. One Club
Already PulL And Another One
Well Up in Numbers. The Way
They are. Going Now, the Limit
Will Soon Be Reached.
We anticipated success when we Inaug
urated, our piano club organisation. We
knew ii was too pood u thing for Ihe peo
ple, and we knew- they would ipikkly
recognize It. Hut that we should nu et
with such a phenomena? rush Is a surprise
that taxes our salespeople and drays to
the limit. A sale we expected to lust well
up to Thanksgiving now bills fair to close
within the next two weeks. There are
oiily four hundred pianos included in llie
club plan, and one of the clubs was com
pleted in less than ten days after the
opening announcement.
Yesterday among our Joiners was Mr. J.
M. Nlckum, of Sellwood. who took
superb Chickerfnjr: Captain Altw-rt Crowe,
whose little daughter has circled the globe
nine times. Who chtfse a handsome Sun
Domiiitfo mahogany Weber, and Mr. W, J.
Hill, who also showed his good Judgment
by selecting a very fancy mahogany (the
,'amous Stsie 18) Weber. Eight other in
struments wei-e sold In the city, and a
number outside.
THE PIANOS:
The pianos we are Helling are the Kim
ball, the Weber, ('bickering. Decker. Dull.
V'ose, Lester, Hobart M. Cable, Haddorf
and tnsny other handsome standard
in ikes.
Tne Plan of Selling Them Is This:
We give to a hundred buyers the same
pi ice we would give to wholesale buyers,
am! the Instrument is delivered immedi
ately upon your making your choice, with
out any fuss or ceremony. The cash pay
ments are all small, ami the Installments.
saa,etw . wtukt ..vtther . wrvHUf or
monthly.- are extremely moderate.
Payments as little as $5. of) down and
weeklv installments of $1.-5 secure one of
our tine pianos in Club "A" to you at the
wholesale figures and those Joining Club
"D" will vhv S-'tt down with weekly in
stallments of 2. Larger payments may
be made, of course, and those paying cash
will save the additional interest.
THE ORGAN CLUBS
Thcte are also two organ dubs, limited
to but 100 members each.
Club "OAV members secure a fine new
organ by paying SI.OO down and weekly
payment's of Ml cents.
Members of Club "OB" will deposit $5. no
and then $1.(10 weekly. These small pay
ments secure to you the linest org ins
mad.', fully warranted by the manufac
turer, anil also hy this house.

be tier take the matter up without delay.
We cannot promise you this opiior.liiii.ily a
great while longer. Filers liano House,

TREES AS FpftECAStEftS OF RAIN.
Il Is Inie that poopu, oi'le'n s'iiy that the
turning up of leaves Is a sign Of rain. I
have heard Ihe remark many times, hut
as far as my observations go the sign
does not meem to lie a very sure one.
There are many kinds of trues, like the
sliver leaf poplars, iti fact rill poplars,
the maple, und some of the oaks, which
turn their leaves tin whenever there Is a
fairly strong. Steady Wind, but they do It
as much in clear weather as In rainy, it
has been suggested to me that possibly
the belief may have arisen from the fact
that winds capable of turning liuves over
very often precede or follow rainstorms. .
and as people are usually on the alcii
when the general atmospheric conditions j
(awr in in. looking (or signs to confirm j
the gttieriil feeling (hey have that'll Is j
going to rain, it might be that the turn- :
ing up of the leaves would be especially I
noted at such times. .Monthly Weather:
