We have decided to accept at face
value the coupons given away in a
word contest.
We are all serious and you have the
best opportunity of your lives. We
have a new catalogue finished in
January before any word contest was
suggested AS our pianos were priced
to meet the hardest competition the
west could produce, our acceptance of
these coupons is bona fide allowance.
If we had got up this contest and had
had a chance to boost prices to take
care of preferred credits you might
have occasion for suspicion.
Very many have thought ours was
the safe place to invest coupons to the

The bright. spring sunshine ana the
attractive list of good things" offered
at the spring meeting of the Wash
ington Jockey club caused many law
makers to go to the races.
1t was observed that the attendance
in the house rapidly thinned out as
the hour for the first race at the
track approached. The friends of the
pending measures vainly tried to pre-
vent the opposition from demanding
the presence of a quorum. but the lat
ter were determined. A row followed
and a roll call disclosed the absence of
a quorum. The doors were closed
and a call of the house was issued.
A dozen deputy sergeants- alarms, de-
lighted with the assignment, were
hurried out to the race track to arrest
absent representatives and bring them
back to their duties at the capitol. A
quorum eventually was secured and
legislative business was resumed.

and from that point to Manila by To-
cal steamer.
While it is understood in steamship
circles that the party has mining in
terests in Luzon, this statement has
not been confirmed by the interested
capitalists.
The New York party will be headed
by one of the financiers interested in
the mining venture. 1t IS stated that
others of the capitalists will make the
trip, but the majority Of the men will
be mining engineers ana experienced
mining operatives.
If the reports that have been made
to the syndicate are justified, the Phil

NOMINATE N SEPTEMBER
Republicans viii Have a Late
Convention.
CoNGREssMEN HAVE ASKED FOR IT
COUNTIES WILL ASK
FOR REPRESENTATION At
NEXT CONVENTION.

Assurances Of support have been re-
ceived from enough members of the
republican state committee to assure
Lieutenant Governor c. E. Coon and
T. d. Rockwell that their apportion-
ment will be adopted for the next re-
publican convention. This apportion-
ment allows four delegates large,
and based the other allotments of dele
gates on the vote cast for President
Roosevelt, or rather, the first presiden-
tial elector, is the report that comes
from Seattle.
Chairman f. B. Palmer. of the re-
publican state central committee will
call that organization together some
time late in May to issue the cOnven-
ton call. Palmer has shifted about
from his old attitude of favoring an
apportionment based on the Mead vote
and is willing to take a presidential
basis.
The republican state convention will
be held in September; probably some
time late in that month. This will
permit the state campaign to open dur
ing the first or second week of october
and will make a decidedly limited
fight

issues it's call county organizations car
meet and hold their conventions when
ever local conditions dictate. 1t is be-
lieved that very few early county con-
ventions will be necessary, and politics
will not intrude upon general business
until the fall.

be carried on the Hill liner as freight.
A mystery surrounds the movements

preserved as to the identity of the
