One of Many Triumphs.

When people spoke of the best
make of pianos quarter of century
ago, they had little choice. 1t was
either the Steinway, Chickering or
some of the kindred makes that were
referred to as being the best
In a quarter of century great ad-
vances have been made i'll musical art
what was great then is mediocre to-
day. The piano of that day is not

particularly great piano of today
is the Steger and Son. 1t has stood
every test known to measure its capa-
city, in sound volume. sweetness and
clearness of tone. 1t has never failed
yet to win out on its absolute merits.
Very recently the management of the
Auditorium was called upon to select
a piano which would fulfill all the
requirements of that big entertain
ment hall. Sentiment and friendship
would. doubtless have directed the
purchase of some other piano than the
one that was purchased. the Steger

to which this and other pianos were
subjected. the Steger and Son was
found the one only which could fully

The success of the Steger and Son
was the forerunner of its purchase.
If this would be the first victory foi

but it is only one of the many tri'
umphs being secured each week By

then later came to Walla Walla and
the ground was gene over in a COM
nIete manner At the time the railroad
officials promised the Commercial
club committee that their request
would receive consideration, and now
comes the announcement that Walla
Walla is to have the same rates as
Spokane.
one of the prominent features of the
rates is the reductions from New York
Detroit and Cincinnati common points.
The terminal rates of the coast cities
have always given direct rates from
the far eastern cities, while Spokane
and Walla WalIa commodity rates
were mostly from Chicago and COM
mon points and Missouri river points.
Articles from far eastern cities then
took class rates to Chicago and the
commodity rates to Spokane.
All the changes noted in the ad-
vance sheets of the tariff are in
carload lot rates. Apparently the less
than carload lots have not been
touched.

The performance this afternoon
moved without hitch. The program

entertainment, and on all sides We're

In addition to the trained animal
features, for which Norris & Rowe s
shows were always noted, many high
grade circus acts have been added.
This is notable in the display of the
daring aerial features which called
forth storms of applause.
The Four Flying lie Vans, the mar

bats, the act of Melnotee, La Mole and
Melnotte on the high silver wire, the
six graceful GrOhs. the Japanese
