a BABY FOR
ALOVELY HONE

The beautiful baby upright piano
exhibited at Eilers' Piano House, 223
West Main street, is attracting much
comment from music lovers generally
1t is extremely small, the very small
est seven and one-third octave up
right piano made, and yet possesses a
volume of tone truly remarkable. 1t
is in a handsome Italian Byrl Walnut
case and bears upon the fall board the
famous name weber" which is a
guarantee of all that is finest in work
manship and tone quality.
The piano is for the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. c. Currie, No. II West
Sumach street, and was purchased by
them of Eilers' Piano House, Walla
Wala, Wash, after carefully looking
over pianos while on their recent trip
to Portland.
Since the small upright piano has
been brought to such a high degree
VI lOuc pSIICCt1oA Ny 80 - =
of Weber pianos, they have become
exceedingly popular among people OF
wealth and musical taste. Eilers' pi-
amos occupy a widely recognized po-
sition in the world Of musical art
They are splendidly made and pos
sess the wonderfully sweet and SYM
pathetic tone quality, which appeals
especially to the musical ear. The

by the famous musicians and artists
composing the Metropolitan Opera
Opera company, New York, for many
years, and receives their unqualified
endorsement and approval, as well
as that of scores of other of the
worlds greatest pianists and singers

WALLA WALLA COUNTY MUST
RAISE OVER TWO THOU
SAND DOLLARS.
New Law Requiring All the Coun.
ties to Settle For State Taxes
Still Due.

In addition to the regular Walla
Walla county tax levy this year the
county commissioners Of this county
must make special levy to raise
$2,S6471 which the county must pay
to the state.
Other counties must also make spe-
cial levies for similar purposes, aggre-
eating $71,502. This is under the
law which requires a settlement be-
tween the respective counties and
the state on every seventh year old
state taxes for the year 1898 un-
paid 10 the state.
Whether the county is able to col
lect all the tax or not the state in
sists upon having it's money so this
year the special levies must be made
to settle up. King county shows
up proportionately better than most
of the counties. She has but $8625
to pay.
Pierce county with a much less
amount to raise for taxes has failed to
collect $13,S53 Even Spokane coun-
ty shows more due the state than
King. al.

The don Police,

When the scheme was first preached
fierce opposition developed to the es
Establishment of London's metropolitan
police, in September, 1929. Police to
patrol the streets of London? Such a
scheme was "repugnant to the spirit of
English law and to the theory Of free
government" according to an editorial
in the Standard Of the day. "As a sys-
TEN of clandestine intelligence the
thing is complete" it went on. "The
low constable is instructed to make
himself acquainted with the inhabit.
ants of every house within his beat.
And how is this information to be OBJ
tanned but by the pumping of the serv-
ants?"

top of it to hold it down. An American
is so anxious to pitch in and have the
thing over that he starts fighting with

behind which one may catch peeps of
narrow, winding streets, with sloping
roofs and painted houses bent with
age. The square front Of the palace
rises above the red and gray roofs,
seeming to command the old city. On
my right the waters narrow to swift
rushing stream, over which stately
bridge has been thrown, uniting the
palace with the picturesque pile of the
opera house, or, rather, with the broad
square in which it stands. Behind the
opera house lie broad streets of mod

Snagging for Herring.

Boys are having some excellent sport just
now snagging for herring and while the
catches are not large there are enough
being caught to give zest to the game The
fish are fairly plentiful in the waters about
this city, and from the rocks above George
town and along the sea wall of the Potomac
Park and in the tidal basin the fishermen
are casting their lines. On long Irvine
line, with light sinker at one end, are at
tached several hooks swung loose at the
ends of short sections of Irvine. The line Is
thrown at full length upon the water and
allowed to partially sink and then the pole
is whipped rapidly back drawing the line
through the water, and the fish are caught
by the hooks flying loosely from the main
line. Some of the fish are caught through
the tall and others through the back in
fact, they are hooked in every way and
brought to the surface.
