1 jWlittle lees than a year ago the paa-
aenger department of the Harrlman
lines conoeived the community Idea of
i advertising Oregon and Incidentally of
getting trafflo for their llnea Into this
state. They established the community
bureau In the Wells-Fargo building un
der the general supervision of Mr. Mo-
Murrey and began their work of get
ting out1 literature OMcnoini
ous communities of Oregon and the eas
iest and beat way of getting to them.
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. Inside of three months
Oregon will be the beat advertised state

the various cities Of Oregon wltnla tne l
neat three months. At nreaent the rec
ords of Mr. McMurrayra office show
that 1,10.000 copies have been dis
tributed through the eaatern states.
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 railroad usually stands two thirds
of the expense of publishing the book
and the community tha other third, the
booka belnr' issued hr the commercial
organisation-' In each city. Then the
railroad -takes hoM nt the work of dis
tribution an ..n. tK. KAS.lr M mrv

Aa soon aa tha advertisements of tha
railroad are answered Mr. McMurray

aeveral eoore each day telling them of
lua. various sections or ins state and
giving mem what Information he can
about the particular section they fa
vor. He also sends copies of all the
advertising matter at his command to
the correspondent.
Mr. Harrlmarf htmself has personally

emphatic approval, declaring the re-

JAPANESE PROSPEROUS WMRHT GOES

That the people of Japan are experi
encing the arreateat burden In tholr
history, this 'being the war debt now

"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

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.

DSr-KILII TOO
HOT FOR LUMBER
A fire In the dry-kiln of tha Portland
Lumber company's mill, at tha foot of
Lincoln street, called out the fire de
partment last evening. 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.
