CEMENT CARRIER STILL MUG Reinsurance on the Advances to Ter Cent. fojie Aber 10 MIGHT HAVE GOXE - DOWN OFF HORX lictt Antwerp for Portland February 2p With 20,000 Barrels of Ce ment Consigned to W. P. Fuller & Co. Reinsurance on the British ship Aber oyle, from Antwerp for Portland, hss advanced to 10 per cent and will rapid ly climb unless the vessel outs' In her. appearance soon. The Aherfoyle left Aiftwerp February 2 and should undor ordinary olrcumstnnces have been here more than a month ago. The overdue vessel brings a cargo of 20,000 barrels of cement, consigned to W. P. Fuller A Co., and It Is be ginning; to be feared that the ship went down and that possibly all hands were lost. Terrific storms have been raging In the vicinity of Cape Horn this year shout the time when the Aber foyle should have been there, and per haps she was lost or disabled in one of them. The Norwegian steamer Tabor, which loaded lumber at' this nort about month ago for Australia, In coming out from the Atlantic coaat with cargo of coal for BTemerton ran Into a storm on the Pacific side of the Ktralts of Magellan that the officers say was the worst they had ever ex perienced. They said at the time that it must have proved disastrous to ship ping and that they would not be sur prised to find one or more windjam mers fall ne to show im. The British steanieV Braemount, which is now In this harbor foadlng wheat . for Italy, also encountered terrible weather in doubling the horn during the latter nart of June. Waves that for sire compared with veritable tidal waves rolled over the steamer and wrought havoc until It was feared the steamer would never ride out the storm The rudder was disabled and heavy stanchions were bent and broken. Another vessel for which hope has practically been abandoned is the British bark Carnedd Llewellyn, 178 days out from Caleta Colosa for Fal mouth. Reinsurance on her has ad vanced to 90 per cent. SEVENTY-FIVE FOR A 6.00 MONTH PIANO PRICES TAKE AN OTHER TUMBLE WHY A "SALE" IS NECESSARY. New Methods in a Modern Piano Business as. Compared With Old What Consignment Agencies Mean, and Why They Must Adhere to Old-Time High Prices. HAIL OF DICE FOLLOWS RAID ON COLORED GLUB MANY COASTERS ARRIVE. Craft From All Along Coast Arrive In Close Succession. The Harrlman liner State of Califor nia, Captain Nopander. will be at Alns worth wharf late this evening. She reached Astoria this -morning several hours ahead of her schedule, this being due to fine weather along the coast.. The steamer Eureka, Captain Black, from Eureka via Coos Bay, will be at Martin's dock late tonight, she having also reached Astoria this morning. Last night the Coos Bay liner Break water, Captain Macgenn, arrived at Oak, street dock, bringing 75 passengers and a goodly quantity of freight, Including 150 tons or coal. Loral agent W. H. Baker says that the company will bring In considerable coal this winter, In anticipation of a good market here. It Is reported that consumers are taking more and more to domestic coals each year, the quality being good and the urlce considerably cheaper than for the Imported article. The gasoline sloop' Condor, Captain J yier. arrivea at couch street flock las night from Newport, bringing a smal quantity or general cargo. She ran into a strong blow, but weathered without sustaining any damage. Cap tain l yier says a win do ready to star on the return" trip tomorrow noon. TWO LINERS IN PORT. A Summer like !ha past works an extraordinary hardshlD upon the birf piano concerns. A little store or agency orders a few pianos from the makers only when needed. A large house ltkti Ellers I'lano House. however, makes annual contracts for so many pianos to be taken tench week (provided Wieypass the rUidr.lnetfactlan -of the Eastern buy ing expert Or" one -of- the heads of the house). In this way the piano makers grant discounts and concessions that the small dealer Is unable to secure, but the pianos must be taken as agreed whether or not, and we In turn must sell them. This annual contract system makes possible a wonderful saving in costs and Is one of the reasons why Ellers Piano House can undersell any Western house or agency. Think of buying new pia-nos. the pick of the factory, for 140 each less than the same Instrument cost a prominent Western concern. Is It any wonder that the Ellers stores furnish more piano value for the money than can be obtained elsewhere T We can af ford to lose profit on a few Instruments occasionally to secure such advantages. Alesla Joins Arabia In Harbor, Bringing Light Cargo. The oriental liner Alesla Is today dis charging 3ft0 tons of gunnies and gen eral cargo at Alaska dork. Tomorrow she will begin loading for Hongkong and way ports. The liner Arabia, which arrived last week, will be ready to sail tomorrow morning, after a brief stay In the harbor. She will go out full, al- tnougn sne arrivea practically light. Since routed by way of Honolulu and San Francisco, the Portland & Asiatic Steamship company's liners have- brought very small cargoes from the orient to this port, the overland freight having been discharged at San Francisco. BURNING STEAMER MINKS. Catches Fire WhiltT Moored at Lake Washington Landing. Il'olted Preea Ltued Wire.) Seattle, Wash., Aug. 17. The passen ger steamer Acme was destroyed by fire and mink while a mile off Leschl Park In Lake Washington at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The craft caught fire while moored to a scow at the La Point Boat Build ing company's docks and to save the waterfront property she was cut adrift and pushed out into the lake. The Acme was owned by Captain Frederick H. Moon and was valued at $3,000. MZBSUBMEIT'S FBOPITS SOOMXS. The. Western piano situation will be still more forcibly brought to mind In cases where small dealers, or San Francisco or other branch houses, who do not deal with the factory direct, have to submit to an Intermediate charge of In some instances as high as 16 per cent on the cost of the goods, plus S0 for each piano. Is it any won der that pianos which Ellers Piano House is in position to sell for 1218. yes 192, have to bring elsewhere as much as 400 or $375? This latter price Is being asked today by branch house or consignment dealers for pianos that have been sold time and time -again right in this community for almost half that figure. This is an honest, straight forward statement of racts that can be proven to the satisfaction of any dis interested buyer. But as to this forced sale: No use denying the fact that the un usual hot July weather retarded our business, for It did. We accordingly de-J termlned last week to force out an extra one hundred brand new pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. We could afford to do it and we went about the sale In no uncertain manner. Profit and cos't did not enter Into the considera tion. It was a matter of disposing of f ilanos. Five dollars down and on floi ar a week payments secured a good on at these sale prices. No wonder that the entire lot was quickly taken. A hundred more friends and supporters were Gained. BBTEWTT-FITE MOSE MOST 0K. And now we are going to make some more friends seventy-nve witnin tne next ten dnvs each and every buyer will find a positive saving of $125 t; $206, according to .the Instrument se lected. The terms of payment will be cash or $B when you nave you piano seni home and then onlv $6 a month there after, at the same low cash cost, simple bank rate of interest., being added, not on ths whole amount but on deferred payments only, for these exceptionally cusv terms. I We know It Is far better to have j seventy-five more new pianos In Port-j land homes now, even at the hare cost, j than to carry them In stonk outside, i nnying extra Insurance, linndllng. etc. I None but a house like Ellers could af- i ford to do this we are satisfied Just now In fact, have to be satisfied to get merely the Interest on our money which you pay If you buy on time. Resembling in every detail the comic paper pictures of a crap game raid was ths Invasion by ths police of ths Kurolra social club, 147 Seventh street, adjoin ing the Golden West hotel, early Sunday morning. Thirty negroes were arrested. There were colored gentlemen running from the back door and the front door. Jump ing from windows and trying to climb up ths chimney, while 60 pairs of dice hurled through the windows to destroy evidence made the neighbors think the clouds were raining "bones." One of the mt Interesting reatures is the fact that a negro named Crow is blamed for "snitching" on the house. "He ought to he burnt." snorted one In dignant gamester In the court room this morning. Mr. Crow Is now keeping 8 sharp lookout for ranors. The police say Crow Is Innocent, as they got their information from a man they arrested and then sweated. The raid took place Just -before day light broke Into the smoky club room. In one room a poksr ganw was In prog ress, In another the "bones" were roll ing merrily, while In a third blackjack was being playea. And lhM) came Officers Kay, Crad dock, Smith. Vessey and Kllngel and Sergeant Johnson. Out went tlis dice through the windows. Those wlr. tried to get out the front door found tho po lice were ahead of them. It was the same at tho hack. One terrified player went through a second-story window Ilford. Br. ss Portland Lumber Co. Eugenie Fautrel, Fr. bk Mersey W. F. Jewett, Am. sch Astoria Bucranla, Br. ss Inman-Poulsen M. S.
