ROBNETTMAKES BIG GAIN LEADING ALL DISTRICTS It Is believed that considerable wheat will be shipped from here to California this season, more so than last year. Preparations to handle the grain are al ready mn1r way, it having beeSj an nounced that the ;ttoam schooner St. Helens will bo here soon to take a full cargo to Kan Krnnctaco. A few days ago it was announced that one of the Dollar liners under the American flag would be here shortly to load wheat for California. Tear before last wheat shipments were unusually heavy, a constant stream of it going in steam schooners and oc raalonal largo steamers of American registry. Cargoes measuring as high aa 2.&00 tone were set afloat occaelonalfy and every regular liner carried rrom 600 to 1,000 tons each trip. Lent vear the shipments were not so heavy, aithouxr. tue total was h re spectable quantity. A couple of cargoes were shipped In sailing schooners, the Mindora and Oliver Olson being the craft engaged for each one voyage. If the lumber shipments show n heavy In crease during the winter months, it is quite possible that a few of the sailing vessels now lying idle In the Columbia and at San Francisco will be pressed Into service. Most r.. the wheat going foreign from here this season will in all probability go in steamers, six large tramps having already been engaged so far since the beginning of the season. Two of them, the Braemonnt and Strathlyon. are now loading at Montgomery dock No. 2, and thlrrt he yalla of Nlth. is reported aa having left Ban Francisco a few days (United !rM Uwd Wlr. ) Wilcox, Aria, Aug. 26.

The ordinary run of Iectric pianos and the many contrivances row springing up in imitation of the Pianola Piano are capable of rendering music satisfactory to a certain degree. But after the novelty of the thing has worn off and when an owner has become interested in the higher forms of music it immediately become apparent that high-class artistic results can only be obtained by the Pianola Piatii , and more particularly owing to the fact of its possessing the devices known as Metrdstyle and Themodist.
