An erroneous impression prevails
tha we are out OF the music busi-
ness.
The fact is. we are strictly in it,
and positively save everybody who
purchases a piano from us $50 at
least. Why? Because we buy our
pianos direct from the manufactur-
ers and save the extra profit which
goes to the Denver houses who han
die all the pianos now offered for
sale in Grand Junction. We can and
do give better piano for price than
any other firm can possibly offer you.
Get our prices before you throw
away your $50. We sell on the easy
payment plan or for cash.

true national center Of all forms OF
human activity.
It is asserted that at the present
time the wholesale business of Chi
cago is entirely independent Of New
York: that it distributes to a tributary
territory north, south, east and west,
and while the merchants of New York
may not yet visit Chicago for the pur-
pose of supplying their needs this is
something which before long they
will be compelled to do and is some
thing which at the present time they
might do with benefit to themselves.
It is further asserted that in a de-
cade or two more the people of the
, Mississippi valley will control by their
numbers the destinies Of this country
Independently of the states on the sea-
board, and that when that time comes,
by the influence of the west the gov
eminent at Washington viii order the
construction of a ship canal from the
great lakes to the Atlantic, having a
depth of thirty feet or more of wa
ter, through which ocean steamers
can proceed to Lake Michigan and
thus put Chicago in a position for
quite a part Of the year to ship goods
without breaking bulk directly to
foreign countries and receive In ex-
change direct shipments OF the prod
ucts of the world, thus making tbs
city commercially Independent OF any
of thesseaboa ports.
It is further said that at the present
time the volume Of wholesale transac-
tons in Chicago amounts annually to
| 81, 500, 100000, with such leaps and
bounds of gain that the time will
shortly come when the trade OF New
York will seem small by comparison.
It may be pointed out that quite q
number of these assertions represent
the exuberant optimism Of the west.
which has the defect Of discounting
the future and claiming for Itself
much more than can truthfully be
accorded.
Thus far our New York neighbors
appear to be amused at the prsdic-
/ lions concerning their speedy relative
decline, but then. as no one A century
ago could by any exercise Of the
| imagination have foretold the growth
of this country in special localities and
/ the conditions that would control
| that growth, so It is safe to say that
no one is in a position now to affirm
with any degree of certainty what will
4 be the relative condition OF the great
American cities in the year 20O5.-
