Ws haTS not a.Hr4 our position

of the Hill lines In Oregon, this morn
ing. "We have not changed our minds
at Ml; we fcavs not decided when r

eventually conclude to build we will
no doubt find a route."
president Stevens returned last nlSM
from Chicago, where ho says h ad
fine time seeing grand opera, recoreT
. In from a aevere cold that he contract
eSVn T former trip to th. Windy City,
and combating an attack of neuralgia
in the head. He enjoyed the open, , feU

- after finally having conquered the bou

Extensions to XagwM aa Albany.
i -T came home expecting to hear news,
but ow you look to me for something
to say. Well, what will probably in-
" terest the people most Is that we have
decided to extend the Oregon Electric
' ' from galera to Albany And Eugene and
' to push construction on the United
'.Railways to Tillamook." Tracks have
s already been laid to Banks, seven miles
beyond North Plains, and work from
-1 that point will bo gotten under way s
soon m possible. The construction will
to as heavy as for steam and for a
while we. will operate steam over a
portion of the road. But don't go away
with the Idea that wo intend adopting
? steam In place of electricity we would
never think of It for a minute our su
- burbaa and lnterurban lines will be eleo
' trie, for which all preparations have
been made"
The Malheur canyon aeU-e trans
fer of the holdings of the Boise at West
era railroad In Malheur canyon during
president Stevens' absence he declined
to discuss, but left the Impression that
.it wouli have no effect whatever on
any plans the BUI system may have In,
tapping the southeastern part of the
state should It be deemed expedient to
do so at some future time,
Speaking of railroad construction, Mr.
Stevens said the feeling among Invest
ors Is not what it ought to.be, there
, being a tendency toward too much res-
trictive legislation.
'.' The Oregon Trunk line, Mr. Stevens
said, will be ready to handle business
this' summer. The bridge across the
Columbia at Celllo will be completed
-during the summer, but train will be
operated from Clarke station, on the
Oregon side, before that, transfers to
be made by the ferry now in operation
until the bridge is completed. He said
It : la mrnnrnA n hilva valla lntfl to

' But when the facts are .learned It will be seen it Is
not through any intention to injure the musical trade or
the high standing of the pianos offered that The Wiley ;
B. Allen Co. makes such unprecedented reductions.
. It is simply because the amount of these reductions
has" already been paid to us by the insurance companies
for good reasons not hurtful to the pianos,, which will
be explained when you call.

There is no loss without some gain this time it is the insurance company's
loss, and a double gain for the public, as it affords a chance to deal with a conser- -vative
business firm whose guarantee is a bond of absolute protection,! and. to buy
world-famous pianos and player pianos at a price so low that it almost makes one
