To have received an order for thou
sand pianos from q single firm would
have paralyzed the average manufactures
of a decade or so ago. and such an event
only emphasizes how the industry has ex-
banded and how great its possibilities.
Perhaps there could be no more elo-
quent testimony to the present condition
Of the piano business in the Northwest
than was told in The Review last week
in the statement that George p Bent had
received from Foster & Waldo q single
order for a thousand Grown pianos.
Now an order for q thousand pianos of
the grade OF the Grown" means a good
deal, and 1t shows the confidence which
the dealers have in q reliable product, and
emphasizes the trend OF times towards
better instruments.
In speaking of our first large deal The
New York Musical Courier of April 18th,
1902, says:
The carload lott sinks into insight
icance before the giant order received by
George p. Bent for Grown" pianos early
this week. There was a time when pianos
were sold one at shipment. Finally came
the big demands indicated by the carload

have the water filtered as it falls, he
will have to build a filter somewhat
after the plan as shown in the dia-
gram. Theft is fiat bottomed,
sloping slightly towards the cistern
There is layer of bricks on the bot
tom; on this, in order named, layers
Of charcoal, sand and gravel, the to-
tai filtering material occupying about
one-haif OF the filter. The water, as
soon as it falls, begins to filter and
passes into the cistern in a. pure state.
The size of the filter will depend upon
the size of the cistern, roof, etc. ,Usu-
ally one holding from 25 to 30 barrels
is found large enough. An overflow
pipe is fitted to it near the top as, dur
ing a heavy shower, it is liable to
overflow. An opening is left large
enough, so that it can be cleaned out
when necessary, and refilled with new
material. A roof becomes the lodging
place of impure matter which is liable
to taint the water-dust, droppings of
birds, insects, etc. Whether one has
filter or not, it is good plan to
have the leader pipe so attached as to
be readily swung from the cistern to
a waste pipe. When it is not raining
have the leader go into the waste pipe,
and after it has rained sufficiently to
clean the roof, swing leader back to
the cistern connections.-G. Davis, in

CITY INTERESTS.

Dallas. Tex, enjoys the distinction a
possessing more automobiles than any
city of its size in the south.
Samuel Little, millionaire, street rail-
way magnate and director in many OF
Boston's prominent financial institu-
ions. will this fail, for the first time in
over 30 years. be unable to cast ballot
at either the state or city elections.
This is due to the laxity of the police ir
collecting names for the police list,
Through some error Mr.. Little was over
looked,
Mr.. Livingston, commissioner Of pub
tic works in New York. contends that
under an old ordinance the space under
stoops may be regarded as vault space,
tor which the city may collect penalty
of 500 in each case, making total of
$8,000,0 900 or $4,000, 600. A suit IL
threatened against a prominent builder.
and If it is started will serve as a test
case. 1t is estimated thai between 8O,-
600 and 10000 residences in New York
are affected by this contention.

South American suxar Plant.

South American Sugar Plant.
The agricultural department at WASH
ington is inquiring into the statement of
Consul General Richard Guenther that
new plant has been discovered in South
America which promises to supplant the
sugar cane and the sugar beet. Scien-
tffically the plant is known as the erupa-
torium rebandium, and it contains large
amount of saccharine matter and a high
of natural sugar properties
which are easy to extract. According to
Mr.. Guenther, lump the size of a pea
will sufficiently sweeten a cup of coffee.
as the product made from the plant is
from 20 to 30 times sweeter than cane or
beet sugar. 1t is said to be easily culti-
waited In countries having climatic condi-
t1ons similar to those of the southern
portions ofthe United States.
