ONLY A CHANCE FOR PEACE.

While it may be incautious to say at
this time peace is in sight, yet the sit
uation is distinctly hopeful for the
opening of negotiations between the
contending powers. President Roose-
velt's efforts have been confined to
getting their representatives to ap-
proach one another, and apparently
they have not been without success.
The most extreme delicacy has to be
exercised in this stage of the prelimi-
naries of peace, and this is why the
public knows so little about the matter.
But secrecy is a hopeful sign that
something is being done.
When Russia and Japan have taken
the first step of recognizing the fact Of
each others existence and begun to
talk peace even in the most tentative
way, there will be no need for the 9TH
er powers to do anything except watch
the progress Of the negotiations and
try to make the path Of peace as
smooth as possible for both. The ac-
tual terms, perhaps, will not be men
toned in these days, and When they
are mentioned they will undoubtedly
at first drive the warning powers fur
Their apart for a time. Japan will seek
to have something to trade with and
Russia will stand on her dignity and
say the offer is such that the cars
government could not entertain it.
But if both have had enough of fight
ing it will not be impossible to over
come the objections of Russia nor
modify the demands of Japan. After
Liaoyang, Japan would have quit fight
ing for the status quo as it existed in
February, 1904, plus her diplomatic de-
mand that Russia fulfill her pledges
to the powers. After Mukden and the
Tsu islands Japan was justified in en-
larging the scope of her demands and
undoubtedly has enlarged them to in
Russian fleet in Asiatic waters, the
transfer of the lease Of Port Arthur,
the neutralizing of Vladivostok's fish
ing privileges of Sagnalien, the COM
mand of the Eastern China railroad.
and perhaps an indemnity. The latter
is the real sticking point with Russia.
So far as the other items are concern
ed Japan has most Of them now, and
really, the only thing she is demanding
is that she be paid the expense of taxi
ing them. Russia, however, is free
to say that inasmuch as Japan always
denied Russia's right in Manchuria
and Port Arthur. she cannot ask Rus
STA to pay the expense of suing out the
writ of custer. 1t is not entirely i'm
probable that Japan could be settled
with today without money indemnity.
But that is today. Tomorrow Japan
may be in possession of real Russian
territory.

SPENDING DOLLARS ABROAD.

Public Opinion calls attention to the
summer rush of Americans abroad. 1t
estimates that this being good year
in America, at least 10000 residents
of this country will take their vaca-
tons in Europe, and that they will
spend on the acverage $1,000 apiece,
making a total of $15O,O0O,OOO to be

ne great FldIO sale at present be-
ing conducted by Eilers, of Portland
at POI West Main street, corner OF
Fourth, is now pretty much the talu
of the whole city.
Such prices that are being asked for
all the well known standard instru-
ments, were never before known in
Walla walla.
Especially are the ladies of the civ
greatly interested in the sale, and
their attendance at it is growing daily
Those who have already patronized
the sale express the greatest satisfac-
ton with their purchases; they also
have the great satisfaction of knowing
that Pianos bought of Eilers must
come up to all claims put forth in their
behalf, as Eilers reputation when it
comes to the selling of grade
Pianos, is second to none in the whole
Northwest.
Eilers happens to be in Walla Walla
at this time because the mouse has in
augurated special sales, such as is now
being held in this city, throughout the
best sections of the whole Northwest.
The sales are held one a year for ad-
vertising purposes; they also assist
the company to keep more closely in
touch with their ever increasing and
widely scattered patrons. So far,
whenever sale has been held, many
pleased customers have been the re-
suit; and in addition the company's
large Mail Order Department has been
greatly benefited.
In connection with the low prices
asked for SUCH standard instruments.
this is explained when Eilers immense
buying facilities are considered. In
buying Pianos the quantity purchased
makes the price, and Eilers monthly
shipments from the Eastern factories
are never less than from 20 to 80 car
loads per month. Eilers selling prices
make a Piano possible in every home.
In the conduct of these special sales, |
one thing Eilers desires to bring before |
the public is the fact that the company
does not depart in any way from nom
orable business methods. Satisfaction
guaranteed or your money back, is the
firms motto, in connection with each
and every sale.
During this present sale Eilers is
showing in the sales rooms at POL
West Main street some 25 of the lead
ing makes of Pianos, which are prac-
tica1ly being sold at a way down price.
The great variety to be found in the
construction of the Pianos on exhibit
ton, makes an inspection of them high
ly interesting, and none should fail to
see them. Included in the display are
such famous highgrade Pianos as fol-
lows:
The Kimball, Chickering, Hazelton
Brothers, Hadorff, Weber. Crown, Bal
ley, George Steck & Company, Lester,
Milton, Clarendon, Kembell- Ward
Company. Also the AeOlian Piano, a
self playing instrument. This is some
thing decidedly new, and daily attracts
much attention. The Weber and
Pianola is embraced in the Aeolian.
A feature of the Eilers sale is con-
and evening, on the Aeolian, the self |
playing Piano, all the old masters be-
ing reproduced.
