Position Summarized
Our position as to proposed legislation
is, in brief. as follows:
y. Material increase of salaries for
school officers and teachers is urgently
? Nearly all the proposed changes
Of law are uHwarTanted or not adapted
TO our local conditions, and unwise.
3 As to those features not clearly
unwise, not one compares in importance
with the necessity for increase Of sal
aries.
4 To insert any of these PROPOSE
tons in a bill for increase Of salaries
might hinder, delay and endanger the
success Of the one feature that is es-
sentiaI.
IS. That the bill II. r. s472, 8. 2O69.
providing for increase of salaries AMI
excluding all other considerations,
should be promptly passed.

COLORED LAWYER FINED
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

John A. Moss was sentenced to pay a
tine Of $50, or serve fifteen days in the
workhOuse in default, by Judge Kim
ball in the United States branch of the
Police Court, for contempt of court The
affair occurred some time ago, when
Moss represented James Bell, who was
charged with stealing a polceman's BIZ
cycle When the jury was called the
lawyer objected to one OF the jurors
He was asked by the court to show
cause for mis- objection. when he stated
that he had seen the man drunk on the
street. He was notified that he was
guilty of contempt by Judge Kimball
who set the day for the hearing.
Moss was represented today by two
attorneys. A. w. Scott and NJ T.
ClinksscaIes. The hearing was opened
by a motion by Mr. Scott that the
charge of contempt be dismissed on
the grounds that Moss had found that
he had been mistaken and had apol-
ogized to William 7. Burrows, the
Juror whom he had accused, The motion
was overruled by the court
At this iuncture Moss rose and claimed
that he had a right to be heard. When
he was told by Scott to keep quiet, he
told the latter to get out. and Scott
abandoned the case.
A little later. when the court called
for the arguments of the defense. At
torney Clnkscales stated that he would
not handle the case unless Moss kept
quiet. This Moss did not do. and Clink-
scales threw up the case. Attorney
Moss handled his own case from that
point.
Moss was unable to pay the fine when
imposed. but later secured the money.
While he was waiting for 1t he was
placed IN the dock with the other pris-
ouers. in spite OF his protests.

There are hundreds of makes
and makers of mems hats, Just
as there are of mems clothing.
But, just as there is a certain
something about Parker-Bridget
clothing that raises it above all
other makes-in like manner is
there something about the
Omar Derby that differentiates
it from all other hats. In quail
ity it is far superior to others
at $500 and s3.oO-but it is its
graceful lines and that diStinc-

year it is S1S,229,175, having been
made on the basis OF total valuation,
and it is estimated the total levy will
be only is mills for current expenses
and a deficit of $4,000. The nom
tillable land was increased s3,OS1, 44O
to SS,642,000, and as lots Of it is

THIS TELLS
THE STORY
Eilers Piano House is the Place
That Saves Piano
Buyers Money.

EXtravagant assertions to the contrary notwth-
standing there is but place in Pendeton that is IN
position to sell and is selling the very choicest high
class pianos for less money that can be obtained else
where.
Dealers who have to get their instruments on
consignment from San Francisco houses or have to paw
royalty to jobberS on every instrument they SELL can
not possibly hope to furnish the values in pianos that
can be obtained at EilerS Piano House.
Over 100 residents of PendIeton and vicinity have
purchased pianos of us in the last few months What
does this mean? 1t means that the people, nearly all of
whom are business men and women, have each saved
at least $50 to 500 by purchasing from u.s. Yes, it
means more than that. 1t means that we are doing
exactly what we stated in advertiSements--selln
instruments of known value and standing at prices
heretofore unheard Of and at figures with which the
ordinary little dealer or agent cannot possibly hope to
compete. We have announced and explained manv
times heretofore why we are able to do this
Never before have we displayed such large as
sortment in up-o-date styles in high-gade pianos as
we now have on our floors.
We take old instruments in exchange and allow a
liberal valuation just now, while there is big demand
with us for them.
We make terms of payment to suit you
