Festival of St. Blaise.
New York, Feb. 2. All the Roman
Catholic churches of the city are pre
paring for the celebration tomorrow
of the festival of St Blaise, a saint
whose aid is Invoked for protection
against diseases of the throat. St
Klai?e was bishop of Sebaste. in Ar
menia, In the early days of the Chris
tian church, and was martyred on
February 3. During his tifetime he
Is believed to have cured miraculously
a young man suffering from a dis
ease of the throat who was brought
to him for his blessing, and after his
death the distribution of his relics
among the faithful was coincident
with the cessation of a throat dlseaas
which had been sweeping off thous
ands of children. The martyrdom of
St Blaise is also commemorated In
the Greek church, but the festival
falls on February 13.
To the Public.

of the Pendleton house,, and de
sires to become acquainted with all
who are Interested In music and who
anticipate purchasing as well as all
of our many customers who have
heretofore purchased of us.
We'll not waste time disputing the
point as to whether or not you need
a piano. Tou know you do, and so
do we. A musical Instrument Is a
necemlty st this day and age. Tour
home Is not home without one, and
your children are denied the privi
leges others enjoy If you do not have
It
Our business Is that of SELLING
PIANOS ANT ORGANS. We might
follow along the beaten path of trade
and sell the ordinary commercial
pianos that have been sold and are
row being sold by others, but that's
not the way ws do It We soil only
the most reliable and the most prom
inent makes of pianos. The unrival
ed Chlckerlng, of Boston "the oldest
In America, best In the world"; the
wonderful Weber, finest of all fine
pianos mads In New York, and the
now famous Kimball, of Chicago, the
most progressive and up-to-date pi
ano of them alL
Such pianos NEVER DISAPPOINT
and we know f you come here and
get a Kimball or a Weber or a Chick
erlng piano It will always be a source
of satisfaction and pleasure to you
and you fill always be a friend ot
EILERS PIANO HOUSE. You will
bring your relative here and tell
your friends about us and about our
good pianos.
Of course we carry also quite an
assortment of less expensive lnstnr
ments. Here are the Whitney, the
Ellur Bros., the Schumann, the Bailey,
the Story A Clark and 30 other makes,
together with that wonderful piano
of many tones, the Crown Orchestral
and allso the Weser Orchestral, all of
thertl thoroughly reliable and fully
warranted.
CONCERNING PRICES, we have
lust a word to say. It is thals: State
ments and claims often look different
when stood In a row with downright
facts. There isn't a store in this
country, from the largest dealer down
to the "tackiest" little fake branch
affair, that will not and perhaps In
good faith, too claim to sell you
cheaper than any one else can possi
bly hope to do.
We have sold and are today selling
more fin? pianos than all the rest
of the Orogon dealers combined. We
handle, the very largest volume of
business at the very loweBt possible
expense. This would point to Ellen
Piano Houe as a place where you
can do the best
As to terms of payment we ask
you to make a careful and Intelligent
study of Ellors Piano House's respon
sibility and methods before you buy.
And In conclusion: Don's expect
to hear of the good qualities of Weber
and Kimball and Chickerlng pianos
from people who are trying to com
peto with us. They have pianos of
their own to sell.

A New Tork correspondent of the
Chicago Packer writes as follows of
the crop condition and car shortage
in the east:
Complaints from shipping districts
all over the eastern country about the
car shortage are being received In
grenter number now than nt any time
his winter and untold damage Is be
ns done to the potato, apple and
onion business. In New York state,
New England and ns far west ns Ohio
the shortage of cars Is felt In this
market. '
The potato and apple outlook from
speculative point of view has not
been nny too good at best. The apple
ileal, In particular. Is fraught with
many misgivings on the part of hold
ers. Potato stocks are also heavy
and the stork has got to be moved
gradually In order to keep from ex
periencing a continued glut at heavy
receiving points.
The fact that shippers have been
unable to get cars with which to move
their stock has placed the situation
In nn utterly demoralized condition.
Several big operators In apples, whose
headquarters are In New York and
who have considerable fruit stored In
the western part of the state, say that
they have orders for 25 to 60 cars of
fruit ahead on the books which should
have Immediate attention, but they
cannot get the cars with which to do
It.
Potato shippers In Maine and the
western part of the state have been
cnlllng In vain for cars. Most of the
ears are being used now In Maine for
the moving of seed stock. In western
New York tnte many big shlpprfs
have got to write apology after apol
ogy to their customers for not filling
contracts In time. They have orders
In for cars, but are unable to get
them.
One big western New York apple
operator, who was In the city this
week, told the Packer man that he
had been behind In filling his orders
from 15 to 30 days since the first of
December. This Is because he could
not get the railroad compnnles to
furnish him with cars.
The situation on the New York Cen
tral and Its branch lines gets worse
every year. Along the Falls branch
of the New York Central nre located
probably more and larger cold and
common storehouses than on any
branch road which runs through
fruit and vegetable shipping district
The rotten service which the New
York Central hns given these people
this winter is a disgrace to nny rail
road system and steps should be taken
to resent It. It seems that no accom
modations whatever have been pro
vlded for these heavy shippers. They
have got to stand by In Idleness with
the winter wearing away and heavy
sales made of their perishable stocks.
et with no way on earth of making
rlellverles.
The car situation. Indeed, could
never have equalled the present situ
ation In former years, even In the
most Inclement weather. The winter,
so far, In New York state and in the
east generally, hns been practically a
mild one. There have been no heavy
and continuous snows to speak of to
retard traffic, and th only excuse
that the New York Central hns for nt
taxing care or its patrons is its ina
bility to handle the business which
originates along this line.
