Would ladylike requests have pushed it along so 'far? Poverty may bo a blessing, but ev ery man is willing to turn his share of the blessing over to tho other fel low. Many a man falls to make good because he spends most of his time trying to prove that luck Is against him. Tho candidate who throws mud Is less apt to win than the one who comes down with tho "dust." Hope Is an excellent thing to have, but It Is ono of tho things n, pawn broker will not advanco anything on. Life insurance men who refused to take clmnces on tho lives of avia tors made a good guess, It's difficult to convince a man who is broke that happiness can't be purchased with money.

Occasionally tho man with an eagle eye proves to be a human vulture, WILDCATS P "ROMOTERS of the wildcat town of Uilhimu, which was widelv advertised throughout the northwest a few months ago as the future metropolis of central Ore gon, and the coming great city of the interior, are to he prosecuted in federal and state courts for fraud. Town lots were sold throughout Oregon and "Washing ton in this visionary city which actually consisted of a sagebrush plain in the lava beds. The coming of the rail road was made a means of coining money by unscrupu lous promoters from the unsophisticated, who were led to believe the glowing falsehoods so widely circulated. Of course the damage has beeii done. Tho money has been secured. Probably the perpetrators arc beyond the pale of justice. No amount of prosecution will secure the dupes their money back. Builders of legitimate towns will have hard sledding and the real progress of the country retarded. "Wildcat townsites are not the only subjects that should J engross the attention of the the only fake schemes being worked for nulking the pub lic out of its hard earned coin. There is as much wildcat ting in orchard land as in townsites, or mines and it is evidently equally profitable to the promoter. Orchards are advertised in regions that never pro duced a successful commercial orchard. Facts and figures from proven districts are displayed along with glittering generalities, and the sucker made to think that they ap ply equally to the property advertised. The result is a certain injury to legitimate orchard promotion. Admitting financial responsibility and reliable busi ness management, which cannot be proven in nine-tenths of the cases, there is no guarantee that untried regions, differing in climatic and soil conditions, will produce the fruit that a few limited sections have. Because fruit rais ing is profitable in one place does not mean that it can be in another, yet such is the inference from reading the glowing literature sent broadcast. Every section undoubtedly grows someparticular va riety or kind of fruit to perfection. But it takes years of experimental work to find out what this variety is. This experimental work has been done in the proven district, hence the enhanced value of property in it. Some way should be devised whereby the investing, non-resident public could be reliably informed as to the character of the property in question, for nothing reacts to the injury of legitimate business more than the fakes masquerading as genuine.

TROUT DISTRIBUTION CEASES FOR PRESENT SISSON., Aug., 11. -Tbo State Fish Commission's special fish car Is held up here. Weekly trips with young trout for distribution in tho streams of the otate have been sus pended until the weather turns cool er, and tho streams become fresh ened by fall rains. Baby trout are tender creatures. To takb them from tho cool waters of tho state hatchery and transplant them In an adnormally warm stream In the southern part of the state would endanger their lives. And be sides, It Is not tho best to put them Into streams where tho water Is ve ry low. Tho car will make five or six more trips before the season Is closed Plumas county will bo served soon after tho Western Pacific Is opened on August 22, The car will make two trips to Plumas. Grass Valley and Nevada City as woll as Nevada county at li rge are yet to bo servod, Iuyo county will receive a good sup ply too, for that county being diffi culty of accoss, Is to bo remembered la the fish distribution of this year.

Mrs. Caroline Schmidt, an elderly woman employed in the ironing room on the top floor of tho three-story .structure, was the last person lo come out and she wus dazed when assisted to tho sidewalk.

MEZIERES, France, Aug. 11. Racing an electrical storm, wIiom lightning flashed out after his frail aeroplane, Lu Hlntic, loader in tho 4S8-milo cross-country flight for a $17,000 prize, today completed tho third leg of his perilous journey from Nancy to Mcxieros, a distance of 100 miles. Ho mado the remark ahlo time of 1 hour and 55 minutes. None of his six competitors equaled this. Hearing the -tneonto of his motor above tho mar of the onrifhiug storm, the entire populace of Mczi eros turned into the streets to greet Le Hlaue. Wildly careoatng iu tho gale, tho stays of tho planes taut with the strain, the aviator swooped to earth. A thunder of applause went up nnd ho was seized by the throng nnd carried high on their shoulders through the madly cheer ing crowd. More than 50,000 per sons followed the racer to Ins ho tel. Le Blanc told the story of his breathless flight to tho United Prc-s correspondent. He said: "My troubles were many. I had no more than ascended when I en countered u heavy fog. Rising, I sought to break through this. In stead, I rnn headlong into a gale that swept my map front its fasten ings and twisted my machine dan gerously. That was one of the hardest struggle- I have ever experi enced to keep my craft upright. "Battered by the wind, I was fore cd to circle to avoid disaster. Mv distance wns thus increased, but I oened the throttle of the engine and kept on ut terrific speed. "After reaching Toul from Nancy I should have headed st might for Mezicres, but my map was gone and the clouds obscured the earth except for occasional slimpscs.

EILER'S MUSIC HOUSE is noted for always furnishing the most for the money; " thevory hest of everything at tho price that's right" has been the watchword here always, but our word for it, pianos good ones" dependable ones the kind that overy one loves and cherishes, were never heretofore obtainabl e at such low prices, and what is more, never heretofore. could a piano be obtained on such wonderfully little payments. x - THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING OF EILERS MUSIC HOUSE We will sell nothing that we know is not right. When wo sell to you it is with the knowledge and belief that, if we satisfy you, you will influence your friends to deal with us. We have utilized every modern economy in order that we might give better valuo and better satisfaction to our patrons. Buying and shipping in tremendous quantities; factory inspection of pianos by our oxpert representa tives; a binding guarantee with every piano sold; a corps of expert tuners and regulators all these have contrib uted toward making the big following we now have and making our business what it is. As the piano purchaser knows the advantages in" buying from the Eilers Music House, so tho manufacturer realizes the advantage in selling through Eilers Stores. No three piano stores in any large city combined can offer the piano purchaser more variety in pianos thAn we do. From America's oldest and supreme the grand old Chickering to the genuine Autopiano the latest creation there is scarcely a name, well and favorably known to tho piano trade, that does not find representation in the Eilers Stores. The Kimball, tho Lester, the Smith & Barnes, the Icland, tho ITa'elton, the Decker, tho Schumann, the Hobart M. Cable, the Hallet & Davis, tho Marshall & Wendell, the Story & Clark all these and many othors are significant of piano excellence. Mr. Piano Buyer: you have only a few days more in which to select your piano. At tho present rate at which our pianos are going, wo will be sold out in a few days. From the stock of over thirty-five instruments which we placed on sale about a week ago only a few remain. Our surprise lays not in tho fact that Medford homes now contain over twenty-five of these instruments, but that Medford did not take them all in one day. Wo have a good selection to choose from, but be sure and come tomorrow. Don't forgot tho place Weeks & McOowan's .fur niture Store.
