independent Oil Dealers Make Com.
plant Against the Lacka-
wanna Road.

New York Nov. 30.-The interstate
commerce commission began a hearing to-
day to require the Delaware. Lackawan-
ma & Western Railroad company to show
cause why it should not make deliveries
of oil to wholesale dealers in Brooklyn
The compliments against the Delaware
Lackawanna & Western railroad are
Preston and Davis, independent dealers
Counsel for the scomplainants told the
commission that Preston and Davis had
paid the railroad company more than $40
900 year for oil freightage until the ser
vice was suddenly discontinued.
Counsel for the railroad company de-
cIared that the discontinuance of deliv-
cry of tank cars at the Wallabout ter
minal, near where the Preston and Davis
camp is located. is due to the danger
of fire.
p. ]. Flynn, general freight agent of the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, SAID
that the first complaint made against the
delivery of tank oil at the Wallabout ter
minal was made by the Standard Oil Off
Gals in 1893.
Facts in the Case.
Former Senator David F. Davis one of
the members of the complaining firm, said
that the Mehlen Family Oil company
started in business about the time his
company did. and it developed that this
company belonged to the Standard Oil
comnanV Soon he declared. the Stan
dard Oil company increased its sale price
to his firm, though the Mehlen Family
Oil company never raised its retail price.
In 1898 the price of oil was about double
what il had been when his company be-
gan business a few years before.
1.-The conditions became such that it
looked as if we would have to go cut of
business" said the witness. Il went to
see the officials of the Standard Oil. l
told them that the price was excessive
and that it was a matter of life and death

Would stand, and we could take it or
leave it"
THE witness said that soon after this
interview he arranged to obtain oil from
an independent company, and to have 1t
delivered over the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western at its Brooklyn terminal
Finally this road declined to carry the oil
as before.

new store in this city in the way of
furnishings, fixtures, offices and dis
play rooms, the establishment easily
ranks first among the 20 piano stores
conducted by the firm in towns and
cities throughout the Pacific north
west. A ten year lease has been practi-
cally secured on the present fine quar-
tiers which is one of the best evidences
that the house of Eilers is to be a
fixture in Walla Walla.
At Eiler's store there are three de-
partments. These comprise Pianos,
Organs and Photographs. Each OF
these lines represent distinct depart
ment in itself. None of the depart
ments have to do with inferior goods.
Each is only interested in the best. In
the Piano Department will be found
such standard instruments as the
Weber, Chickering, Kimball, Hobat,
M. Gable, Steck world renowned Plan
ola. The organs are not displayed on
the ground floor but are to be found
in the gallery. A large line of the best
organs manufactured are carried in
stock. When it comes to monographs
the machines to be found in this de-
partment comprise an exhibit the
largest to be found in the whole state
Of Washington.
The interior display rooms to be
seen at the new home of Eilers are
deserving Of mention. Beautifully
lighted they represent sale rooms that
are something new for this city. They
are cosy little parlors handsomely
furnished. They are known as the Red
room, the Green room and the Blue
room, each being named after its re-
spective color scheme. In each of
these parlors are to be seen a half
dozen Or more beautiful pianos that

Where Sales Are Made on
Merit Strictly
is ATTRACTING ATTENTION
Eilers Piano House, Filled With
Big Stock, Offers Much
Interest.

A substantial and enterprising bust
ness house that has finally completed
all arrangements and gotten itself in
the best of shape to do business in
Walla Walla is Eilers' Piano House
In it's new home at IA East Main
street this famous firm Of piano deal
ers certainly has an establishment
that is a credit to the city.
AS an evidence Of how the Eilers
proceed when they decide to do bust
ness in place it might be stated that
they paid $1,000 in cold cash to secure
the choice location their establish
ment now occupies on Main street. The
building they are now in will be oc-
cupied permanently and in fitting it
up as modern piano emporium
heavy expenditures have been made.
1t is an Eiler's idea to be always in
the forefront in all their undertakings
