When Ralph Smith waa over come With deadly fas at the bottom of a 67-foot shaft on No. SO Eldorado, and men were asked to go down to face the aame menacing fate, there stepped for ward out of the little gathering oi, fel low workmen on the creek a man who took his life la his bands. It waa Jen sen. ...... Not hesitating a moment, the brave fellow allnped a rope about his body and descended to what, with any slight indiscretion or perhaps bare increase of the flow of the poisonous gas, would have choked him and laid him pale and limp beside the other man at the bot tom of the shaft - ......... But it was not positive at that mo ment that Smith was dead. It was known by his fellow workers at the shaft that he had been overcome and had fallen helpless- Joe Walters had attempted the descent but the gas was too severe for him to withstand. When the boys unwound the long rope of the windlass nnd let Jensen down he waa all attention. The gritty fellow kept ready at any mqment to give the signal for relief. Once down he began work, but found the gaa affecting him and he signaled to draw him up. The - . 1 - , . V. .. . i U ....... men n i ino wivu u.viug umhb, wound the windlass.

Jensen is most highly commended by Captain Douglas, the coroner, for his bravery, in effecting the recovery of the body in such short -time. DRIVEN FROM BEDS .

"At a great pennyworth, pause, a while." , "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." ; These arepretty safe maxims to follow even in the piano trade. . We pan realize how on rare occasions necessity may arise in "the career of any mercantile institu tion that compels the sale of even standard goods at cost, or even below cost. This may happen also in the piano trade, and at such times the wise" buyer will promptly participate in the advantage to be gained. ,.(..- 1', But when a dealer frantically advertises that "the entire lot (pianos) will be sold at absolutely wholesale cost, saving each buyer the exact retail profit," let us be sure that this is done. '. ' Let a buyer fortify himself in a transaction of this kind I Here's the way to do it: Do not pay all cash, even if you have the money idle. Make merely a deposit of, say, $5 or $10. Sin a conditional contract for payment of balance ' as may be convenient, provided matters are right. Take no one's word. Have a clause plainly written into the contract which you sign, reading as follows: " Whereas, The additional consideration in the consum mation of this conditional sale is the representation of the said (here insert the name of the firm wishing to sell) that the Instrument is being sold at actual wholesale cost, it Is understood and mutually agreed that If proof can be fur- : nlshed that such style and make of instrument has been or can be purchased by the regular trade for less than the amount to he pali then and In that event the instrument above mentioned is to become the property of the signer of ' this contract without any further payment than the deposit first above mentioned. Before finally completing the purchase. It will b well for the intending purchaser to consult the wholesale de partment of Ellers Piano House which will be authorised to furnish accurate and competent information on the subject. If the dealer demurs to putting this clause Into the agreement to purchase it would seem to be absolute proof that his claims will bear further careful Investigation. Anyone wishing to sell at cost should certainly have no reasonable objection to Inserting such a conditional clause in the agreement to buy. There might also be an additional agreement to the effect that the instrument so to be sold is as advertised, "one of the world's greatest pianos," regularly handled and sold by the firm for, say, at least three preceding years, and not of the mul titudinous more or less questionable makes shipped into Portland for the purpose of making a "splurge sale," not to mention the undertaking by any harsher term. But this condition Is not at all essential the first men-tloned-one is sufficient, we are confident. The entire an nouncement to whioh this warning refers Is so surprisingly similar to one appearing in the Sacramento papers some three years ago, that it is startling, to say the least At that time a responsible dealer Immediately offered to buy the entire stock, if obtainable, at the advertised "wholesale cost, " which offer was ignored except te be met with vi tuperation and abuse unprecedented. As a matter of fact, we are very sure that a party who receives his pianos on consignment, even though permitted to use the name pf a house erstwhile quite prominent In the trade though gone sadly Into decline of late years anyone, we say, who haa to pay a big Intermediate profit to San Francisco middlemen, cannot possibly in any manner compete with evert the smallest of Oregon's regularly estab lished dealers. Those days have passed, never to come again. It has been generously conceded by custom that a cer tain amount of over-statement in the usual run of adver tisements is permissible, yet when a firm so far forgets Itself as to make claims to being "the largest piano dealer." when the railroad records do not even accord them the dis tinction of holding second, nor even third nor fourth place. ppears to m.v h. . pardoned for appearing to transgress beyond the lines of uruinarj cummereiw usage 13 saieguaraing - piano buyers aa above. , . . ....
