A REMARKABLE
RECORD
EvcrybHt- Pnrtielimtcs and Money
Surely Plentiful.
Never in the history of piano sell
ing in Oregon has been such a rush
of eager buyers as was witnessed at
the Snyder Music Co., salesrooms yes
terday, and the immense number of
fine pianos sold during the day has
again demonstrated very clearly that
all this complaining about hard times,
no money in the country, is more
idle talk; when a profitable oppor
tunity for investment is presented
there are buyers galore money
plentiful and no real bargains need
ever go a begging. Many of the sales
yesterday were for all cash, not with
standing the fact that all purchasers
could have taken advantage of time
rayments if desired.
The store at $13 Main street was
quite jammed several times during the
day and both Mr. Snyder and Mr.
Bendex the faetorle's general agent
were compelled to go without lunch
and dinner in order to wait on custom
ers, and even at that, many callers
had to go jfway unsatisfied.
The day's record of sales, up to 11
o'clock last night was almost a car
load of pianos, besides a lot of organs,
square pianos, and among them was a
superb Chickering grand besides sev-
. TV 1 M t 1 ! AT rtf till. (ivm.ii uti'O 1 n
struments.
At the rate pianos were sold yester
day the management will have noth
ing to ship and will be through with
the sale in seven days instead of the
Piloted ten or twelve.

Combine Was Burned. '
Settlement was made today by J.
M. Hayes for the loss of a combine
on the ranch of AY. V. Harrah on
Wild Horse creek. The combine was
burned Sunday night while standing
in a shed on the Harrah ranch. It Is
bel'eved the fire was started by an
incendiary.
Body Was ShipiMHl.
The body of Mrs. Edna Modrell,
who died Monday evening at the hos
pital from the effects of typhoid, was
shipped to North Powder for burial
yesterday. The dead woman was the
daughter of Mrs. Frank Tenbrouck of
Haynes, Baker county. She was but
18 years of . age and was brought to
the hospital fro mPjlot Rock.
Warrant for Kidder.
Because he gave a check which the
Farmers' Bank of Weston refused to
cash for E. B. Kidder, has gotten In
to trouble with the district attorney's
office. A warrant for Kidder's ar
rest was Issued this morning by Dep
uty Pruitt upon complaint of S. C.
Jackson. The check was Issued for
the sum of $2. It Is believed the case
wi'i be. adjusted without a trial.
Gillanders Is Partner.
Earl Gillanders. well known mer
chant prince of Meacham, has pur
chased a half interest in the local fu
el business of Henry Kopittke and
henceforth the firm name will be
Kopittke & Gillander. Gillanders
formerly owned a half interest In the
cold storage bus'ness conducted un
der the name of Henry Kopittke and
he will henceforth be interested in
the fuel business as well as In the ice
and cold storage company.-

W P. Tork, a prosperous stockman
of the Galena country, who was here
yesterday, has been a continuous sub
scriber of the East Oregonian for 30
years. He began taking the paper
in 1880 when a weekly issue only
was published. Mr. York makes a
specialty of raising high grade stock
and now has a herd of 50 shorthorn
cattle, a type of cattle not generally
found in eastern Oregon, which has
long been given over to the raising of
Ht refords.

J. H. Gwinn, secretary of the
Round-Un and grand vice chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias, is getting '
more glory than is jus'ly his. In .
yesterday morning's Issue of the Port
land Oregonian Mr. Gwinn's picture !
adorns the page devoted to mayors
elect and he Is heralded as Grant B.
Dimick, mayor-elect of Oregon City. I
The same mistake was made by the
Oregonian last spring when both .
Messrs. Gwinn and Dimick were !
elected to posts in the Knighfs of ,
Pythias grand lodge. Seemingly the ;
error was not discovered by the Port- ;
land paper and it still sets forth the
Round-up secretary as being the man
from Clackamas county.

The regular monthly meeting of the
