A RUSTIC PIANO

New House

Judge Lamme Gets One Built to Suit His
New House
Judge E. H. Lamme is building a new
house on West Adams street, which is des-
tined to attract much curious attention
The structure is to be of logs, Indiana
STYLE" and the interior finish hickory with
the bark on it," 1t will be unlike anything
ever seen OH this coast, because it will be
large, roomy and elegant, and not log
house built to "save money" Even the
furniture will be of the same rustic char
acter.
A piano. in keeping with the rest some
months ago, was ordered through the
Southern California Music company of this
city 1t had to be built, of course, and is the
first one of it's kind ever constructed. The
Shaw Piano company of Erie, Pa, was
the maker, and the piano is SHAW up
right. 1t has arrived and is a curiosity.
The outside finish. and even the stool, is
rough hickory bark split hickory saplings,
hickory withes, ETC., in their natural state
except for vanishing. Over the body of
the piano the bark takes the place of the
ordinary veneering, and the braided bark
panels and other ornamentations. AS a
whole it is very effective and striking and
the beauty of the instrument grows on one
the longer it is studied. AS a piano, it is
said to be one of the finest ever built, and
cost about four times what an ordinary
one of the same size would have cost. II

that have not heretofore been tried in an
upright, and which, it is claimed, render
it in every respect the equal of the best
grand. 1t is very remarkable instrument

Music company's store. 216-21S West Third

time everybody is invited to call and take

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Our New Primary Law

1t looks as if our California law will be
a model on which other states will frame
similar enactments, though there will prob
ably be little done in that regard until the
law has stood the test of an election next
year. Other primary laws that have been
framed here have invariably been knocked
out on constitutional questions, and as the
present one is obnoxious to the bosses.
it will doubtless have to go through the
ordeal of an appeal. Whether it survives
or not il will serve as the foundation for
any futuSe system. for it is the first time
an attempt has been made to give the peo-
pie an ample opportunity to voice their
desires at the primary polls.-Oakland

Low Rate of Interest

low rate of interest in a country where
capital and labor Joined ought to make
good returns is simply sign that capital
refuses to join labor in productive enter
prises. 1t is a sign of stagnation. 1t is
sign that the masses cannot buy freely
and that capital will not risk producing
what the masses want but have not the
power to purchase. 1t is a sign that Cap
ital is unable to find employment in busi-
ness and is bidding for evidences of debt

On the other hand, after Tammany
Hall had passed by the Chicago plat
form as not bearing upon our campaign
(Which in its way was as logically cor
rect as the citizens attitude) the In
dependent Democrats forced by their
own beliefs and the declarations of the
Republicans, also made Organism an
Issue. Thus instead of there being but
two hostile camps, made up on one
side of those who wished the highest
good of the city, and on the other OF
those who wished its vast patronage for
selfish ends. there were four and in the
conflict the best organized body won.
For four years patronage of $780,
OOO, 600 a year in salaries, ..dlstributed
among 10000 omce-holders will rest
with Tammany Hall, whose history
has always been unsavory. After three
years of great change and progress in
many city departments, not all that
the city has gained will be lost, for
each year sees stronger and firmer
development of the civic spirit, that is
the hope of our country-Ci righteous
ness is aroused in this metropolis of
America and 10000 watchful faces
and warning voices will attempt to
keep the new administration in the
ways that it ought to follow. But we
tremble as to the result, since the May
or elect has at once declared that "none
but Democrats shall hold office" mean
ing thereby only those who belong to
the Tammany Hall organization. This
