The problem of buying a piano is

was never so easy, both as to price
and terms. 1t is highly improbable
that an event similar TO this will be
repeated again for years to come.
Of course, it is not improbable that
few aspirants for trade will seek
your patronage on some pretext or
other, but the opportune time is the
present, and, we repeat, the store of
genuine surprises is here.
We ask your trade on three dis
tinct counts: The superior qualities
of the instruments we are exclusive
agents for, as attested to by the fin
est musicians in this and other
countries; the unusual terms of sale,
which, our experience teaches us, are
so moderate to to practically re-
move any obstacle in the way of a
purchase; and last, but not least, the
ever-present question of price, which
has been solved during this sale by
absolute and unqualified discounts
ranging from 40 to 90 per cent.
Elsewhere, IN this announcement, is
named the price reductions which
are effective at this time, and it
must be patent to every r9hder of
this paper, that such reductions are
most surely an incentive to buy dur
ing the progress of this sale.
There is no denying the fact that
as the leading and most progressive
music house in Salt Lake, we are in
a position to make the price sacri-
fees which we are naming, for the
buying powers Of the company en-
able US to use larger shipments than
the majority of dealers would care to
contract for, and as a consequence,
the manufacturers are glad to make
prices with us that permit of these
reductions. 1t naturally follows that
here is where the best opportunities
for true economy are to be found,
and it Is not unreasonable to under

When official recognition was given
the idea the whole country was quick

versally observed from that time
forth. Even in the communities which
had no soldiers graves it became the
custom to hold services of some sort
or another. The day was first dis

told the story of the observance in a
letter written to Captain j. W. Muffly
of Des Moines at the time he prepared
the manuscript for his history of the

On independence day,1s64,while the
people of the little Pennsylvania town
of Boalsburg, were engaged in the
usual Fourth of July celebrations, two
women stole away from the noise Of
crackers and torpedos and the shouts
of men and boys, repaired to the quiet
of the village cemetery and there low
ingly placed wreaths upon the grave
Of father who had died but short
time before. AS they looked about
them they saw the undecorated graves
of brave Boalsburg men who had
given their lives heroically in the
great civil strife that was still raging
and their hearts were touched with

secured more flowers and then placed
them upon all the graves Of soldiers

THE SEA BATTLE.

Z The great sea battle between
Admirals Togo and Rojestvensky has
been fought, won and lost. Official re-
ports from Toxic indicate that the
Russian feet has practically been ami

and seven captured by the Japanese
and 1000 Russian prisoners have been
taken over by the mikados men. Togo
reports that his squadron is uninjured
and all the reports agree that none of
the battleships of the Japanese fleet
have been damaged. In addition, Japan
has captured three of Russia's battle
ships, increasing her own force while
she diminishes that of her enemy.
The battle which ragged Saturday
and Sunday has given Japan undisput-
able mastery of the eastern waters.
While few of the Russian ships may
escape and reach Vladivostok in safety,
there Is no likelihood that they will
remain safe long. The Japanese are
following the retreating and beaten
enemy, picking off the vessels one by
one and all the advantage in the stern
race is with the pursuers. japan has

to bear the brunt of the battle. If this
Is true, and the struggle was won by
. the Japanese through the use of this

favor of the stand taken by those
American and English experts who
have contended that the battleship is
not the ideal war vessel. Later re-
ports, more in detail, will, however,
have to be depended upon to deter
mine the truth of this report. There is
one undeniable fact, nevertheless,
which is evident from the story of the

IOWA HoNoRED.

All Iowa feels honored in the invita-
ton that has been extended Hon. La
fayette Young, editor of the Des
Moines Capital, to be one of the Of
fetal government party under Secre-
tary Taft, that is to visit the Philip
pine Islands this summer. The gov
eminent very properly does not pay
the expenses of the guests of this
party, but the invitation to be mem
Der of the party is a great honor and
one which Mr.. Young can fill with en-
inent credit to himself and to the peo-
pie of the state of Iowa. Mr.. Young
like almost every other man who at
tains prominence in politics has had
bitter personal fights made upon him,
and the outcome of the civil action
that was recently brought against him
on behalf of the state, for the alleged
erroneous or excessive charges for
work done for the state as state binder
is a matter Of great qualification to
those who know Mr.. Young (and there
are few men not in national official
position, who have wider acqua1nt
ance within and without the state
than has Mr. Young.) The suit itsel1
was a civil one, no fraud being charged
as was specifically stated by the at
torney general The jury, after two
hours consideration of the evidence
returned verdict for Mr.. Young
holding that the charges for binding
as made by him, were in accordance
with the law and that the state had nc
ground, whatever, for recovery of an,
portion Of the money.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Young will
accept the invitation that has been ex
tended to him to accompany the Tai
party to the Philippines, both as {
matter of personal pleasure to himsel
and an honor to the state which HI
SO well represents.

RED TAPE IN THE PosToFFIcE
DEPARTMENT,

Postmaster General COrtelyou has
the reputation of always having made
good,' in every official position that
he has held, and he has been contin-
ually In official life for the past TWEEN
ty years, beginning with the humble
place Of stenographer for a postofice
Inspector in New York City. Mr. Cor
telyou is making good" in the post
Office department where his thorough
going methods and level headed bust
ness ideas are already making them
selves manifest in the improved sys-
tenn of doing business in that great in
stitution. In recent address before
the National association of second
and third-class postmasters, Mr.. Cor
telyou said:
Efficient as the postal service is,
there Is still sad lack Of good bust
ness methods in some Of it's branches
and many years of routine have
brought about an inertia that Is diff
ficult to overcome. think we have
altogether too much red tape, in the
department. think we go around too
many corners instead OF making
straight cuts to results. But these
weaknesses and difficulties should be
but incentives to every man and wo-
man in the service to raise its stan
dard. that it. may be made the great

recognition of the conditions as they
are by the official at the head of the
department, and especially when that
official is so eminently qualified as is

things will be done by the present ad.
ministration in bringing about reform
and in enhancing the efficiency of the
postofice service. The postoffice de.
partment pays the postmasters at the
larger offices in the country, salaries
ranging from $500 to $4,000 year
and yet the men drawing these large
salaries, men who are reliable, and in
the majority of cases eminently eff
cient are practically prevented from
exercising any initiative because OF
''red tape,'' routine and the general
inertia in the department to which
the postmaster general refers. These
highly paid postmasters, in our judg
ment, should be required to exercise
supervisory direction over the
smaller offices and the entire postal
service in specified districts At any
rate they should in fact as we'll as in
name, have control over the detail work
