All the facilities of the Harrlman sys tem were granted the department In se curing adequate advertising matter for the state. Expert photographera and wrltera were retained, pictures were taken of the most beautiful and repre sentative places In the state, and they were embodied In handsomely bound books and Ave plants In the city oj Portland ara at work now turning out this matter.

Tha community plan ' of advertising seeks to Interest prospective settlers in whatever Una of work or whatever In dustry they naturally favor. The plan Is to have the varloua districts in the state publish booklets describing their advantages and resources. For Instance, Hood River's booklet describes lta fruit and applea, Med ford tells of tha wealth of the Rogue river valley,-Albany tells of ths prune Industry ana other sources of wealth, and ao one with all the. prin cipal communities of tha state.

"The increase Among' the people of jHr.an is something wonderful," Mlsa Winn said last night at the Imperial. ; ."as fit is estimated that they are in creasing on' an average of about 500, 000 a year. The death rate among these people Is not what It used to be as they have learned wonders during .' the last few years In the question of i sanitation and the general care of their neaitn. "In spite of the general taxation lm posed on the people aa a ration the natives are all nrosDerous. This. In a way, is due In many ways to the fact that the crops have been unusually good of late. "Japan la making every effort pos- aioie to pay orr tne war aeot as soon as possible. For this purpose such things as sugar, tea, coffee, rice, rail road tickets and practically everything. have been taxed Just as they were h America, only more so, during the BDanish-Amerlcan war."

The fire started In the dry-kiln, supposedly from spon taneous combustion, and before It could be extinguished had destroyed a carload of lumber In the kiln. One end of the kiln was also burned and a considerable amount of lumber was damaged by water. The efforts of the fire depart ment, however, prevented the flames from spreading. The alarm was rung in from oox ve at 7:0 o clock. Immediately on returning from this fire. Chemical No. 2 was called out to extinguish an Incipient blase In the gro cery store at 93 First street The fire which started from the explosion of gasoline, was extinguished before any damage naa oeen done. The railroads of the United States used 18.856,691 barrels of oil for fuel n 1907. an Increase of over 8.000.000 barrels over the preceding year.

COSTLIEST PIANO IN THE WORLD Now Conceded by Piano Tuners, Dealers and Artists the World Over to Be the Most Wonderful Piano Ever Made The word "factory can hardly be applied to the place In which is made this wonderful piano "atelier" would be more appropriate. There is entire lack of that commercialism that one expects when going through a place of that kind that is, through the ordinary piano factory. Time, that expensive thing in piano making, is never considered by the ' Mason & Hamlin artisans. What many manufacturers call "foolishness" is regarded by these men as of the most serious import. There is no question that more time is ex pended in the construction of, or, more properly speaking, in creating, one gf these works of art, than upon any piano made in the world. Two years are required to construct a Mason & Hamlin piano, no others requiring more man six months. It has created a tremendous sensation in the piano trade and among musicians. The sound-board construction (which the Scientific American as well , as all piano makers confess is imperfect in' every piano made) is now perfected by a re markable and ingenious invention of Richard W. Gertz, which is embodied in these won derful instruments. This settles all dispute as to which is the best piano. Did you ever stop to wonder why a violin improves with use, while a piano deterio rates from the time it leaves the factory? Yes, every piano deteriorates from (the date of its completion, except the Mason & Hamlin. Don't expect to buy a Mason & Hamlin as cheap as you can any other make. If you are really interested in securing absolutely the finest piano ever created, PRICE BEING NO OBJECT, write for' literature pertaining to the construction of these wonderful pianos. Read carefully the reasons why all pianos are defective and how these defects have been overcome in the Mason & Hamlin construction. Then examine the pianos yourself. ' One trial will make you as enthusiastic over it as every piano dealer, tuner and musi cian is today. The five Mason & Hamlin pianos that just arrived were ordered over five months ago, they being very hard to secure. We were promised only five for this year. A car load of any other makes of pianos could be secured in ten hours' notice. Mason St Hamlin pianos will never be given to the crowned heads of Europe for ' their worthless testimonials, nor will pianists be paid for exploiting them. Harold Bauer, Gabrilowitsch, Ganz and others who 'own them will play no other pianos, although they could earn thousands of dollars for doing so. They consider their artistic reputation more valuable than money. THREE FLOORS IN PHOENIX BUILDING. ENTRANCE 304 OAK ST.
