Cut rates on pianosl You have
heard of cut prices on groceries,
but cut prices on pianos,-how is it
possible you ask. That is just it.
Before such thing could be effect
ed there must have been a combin.
alton Of very unusual conditions.
In the first place it means buy
ing In large quantities, getting out
of the small way of doing business.
1t means the cutting out of every
useless and unnecessary expense.
1t means the shipment of pianos
without boxes In special cars which
caves big sums on freight charges.
Then it means the selling of pi.
amos SO excellent and satisfactory,
that the public demands them.
We have accomplished just these
things. We buy for the largest
and busiest stores on the Pacific
Coast, in Portland, Astoria, Salem,
Pendleton aid Eugene, Ore; San

manner In which the trick was turn
ed, notwithstanding that it was at
an early hour of the evening, con-
vinced the inmatss of the hotel that
the hold-up was not being done by
amateurs.
Not a man offered resistance or
showed signs of battle as the big
robber in a well modulated voice
simply requested the 12 to raise
their hands and line up against the
wall. A wild scramble followed to
comply with the request as quickly
as possible, but as the door to II 9

saloon, was closed when the fright

noise was not heard. The Cook
brothers walked from behind the

and took their places at the end of
