What Does 1t Mean !?

When we can truthfully state that
more pianos have been sold by us since
the commencement of the closing out
of our four piano establishments than
have been sold in any period of six
months before, this certainly must
mean something. 1t means that hun
dreds and hundreds of people have
realized, in our predicament, the chance
of years to get strictly choice piano
at an immense saving in price. It
means more than that. It shows con-
clusively that all this talk of scarcity
of money is really not founded on fact,
but that, on the contrary, when an op-
portunity for profitable buying pre-
sents itself there are takers in plenty
and no real bargain need go begging
1t means, too, that Eilers Music Com
pany has been found doing exactly
what 1t advertises to do. for otherwise
certainly such a tremendous record
could not have been made possible
Conditions compel us to close out
four or our stores. We must stop ex-
penses and concentrate our business
in the new Market street building.
Yesterdays sales exceeded Thurs
days. While in point of numbers not
so many instrunents were taken as on
several occasions heretofore. more of
the higher priced styles were sold and
1t is significant to note that pianos
Autopianos and kindred Instruments
TO the extent of $l0,b53.S0, were sold up
TO D o'clock yesterday. with every in
dication that considerable more busi-
ness would be put on the books before
closing time.
II every reader could but realize the
exact situation as it is, there would
be the widest scramble for these re-
naming Hazeltons, Deckers, Knabes,
Kimballs, Steinways and Emersons,
Fischers, Haines and other choice
pianos.
When we offer makes such as these,
the high class character and standing
or which no man can dispute-when we
offer these for less than what dealers
ordinarily pay for them at the factory,
is 1T any wonder that nearly every one
who has called to see has become an
immediate buyer? Especially since we
do not insist upon getting all cash.
Payments of from SO to $50 down, and
from s6 to SIS monthly, will secure any
piano in any of these stores.

YOUTH TO FORGERY

Leaving Confession, S. Bert
Elmore Flees From City
to Parts Unknown

Trying to live the exemplary life OF
church member and leader of the
Y. M. c. A. while he was playing los
ing game of chance against the gilded
temptations of the raeetraek has caused
s. Bert Elmore to become fugitive
He was captain of the Y NJ c. A,
senior basket ball team and city man
ager for the Hutton credit company
Two charges of forgery were yester-
day made against him. Eimore has dis
appeared. and is supposed to be in
southern California.
For nearly year Elmore had been
in sole charge of the San Francisco of
fee of the credit company, and so much
faith had been placed in him by HIS
superiors that no check was ever
placed over his accounts.
week ago he wrote confession,
admitted the forgery of notes on ficti-
tious loans aggregating hundreds of
dollars. He had appropriated the
money and lost it in betting at
the racetrack. He mailed the confes-
sion to Miss Jeanette A. Hutton,
manager of the company at Seattle.
Then, calmly locking the doors of his
Office in the Monadnock building, he
sought his friends and told them he
was going to Portland, Ore, where he
had been offered better position.
When Miss Hutton hurried to this
city to make an investigation she found
that the offices had been closed for a
week. Among the papers which Elmore
left behind were further and convincing
evidences of his. guilt, and she imme-
diately swore to the warrants for his
arrest.
Loss NEARLY $1,000
The amount of his peculations, Miss
Hutton said yesterday. would probably
exceed $500 and might reach $1,000.
The forgery complaint is based on a
note for s114 signed with the name of
A. A. Chamberlin
EImore was one of the most popular
members at the Geary street headquar-
ters of the Y. NJ. C. A.. and was last
September elected to the captaincy of
the senior basket ball team. Under
his leadership the team won nearly
every game it PLAYED ana gained the
title of basket ball champions of the
city.
RESIGNS FROM TEAM
Several nights ago. after brisk prac-
tice, Elmore told the physical trainer
and the members of the team that he
was going TO Portland, and suggested
that another captain should be elected
in his place. Charles Hildebrand was
chosen to succeed him.
Inc ponce pelleFe lhat Eifnore maze
the statement that he was going to
Portland in order to misdirect efforts
that might be made to apprehend him.
Elmores parents are well to do resi-
dents of Omaha, and efforts will be
made to have them make good the
amount of his defalcation. In that
event, Miss Hutton of the credit COM
pany said yesterday, the charges would
be dropped. Eimore was graduate of
an Iowa university, and very stylish
dresser.
When 7 received his confession, it
was the first intimation I had that any
thing was wrong" said Miss Hutton.
Gilmore was what you would call a
model young man. He did not have a
single bad habit. We never thought
of questioning his actions, though we
could easily have checked his ac-
counts"

DO NOT KNOW WHAT
CAUSES SICKNESS
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief.

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question Is becom
ing widely discussed since l.. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach Is the true seat OF life
and all health dependent upon 1t.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success In the sale Of his
new medicine, believes that the stom.
ach is responsible for most sickness
and that this organ Is weak In the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever / have introduced 1t. My
answer always is. because 1t restores
the stomach to a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
Just half-sick most OF the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. l have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant. some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called It, for most OF
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run

sound digestion. That is why my med.
icine is selling at such tremendous
rate. have convinced many thou
sands Of people that these things are
SO, and the number is growing BY
leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr..
Cooper's beliefs is Mr.. Edgar L. Kinds,
living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett,
Mass. Mr. Kinds has this to say on
the subject:
II have suffered with stomach
trouble for eight years. was not sick
enough to be In bed, but just felt bad
all the time. My greatest trouble was
that always felt tired, would get up
in the morning feeling as tired as
when I went to bed.
Il had very irregular appetite, and
was troubled with dizzy spells. If I
stood for any length Of time, l would
have a dull pain In the lower part Of
my back. was nervous and felt all
the time as though something terrible
was going to happen. tried many
kinds Of medicine, but nothing ever
uelpeu uS'
II had about given up all hope OF
ever being in good health again, when
heard so much of Cooper and de-
cided to try his medicine. I took one
bottle of his New Discovery and was
greatly surprised at the result. I
gained ~ pounds in a few weeks. I
can now eat anything I wish, and feel
like a new man. I cheerfully recon.
mend this medicine to all sufferers
from stomach trouble"
It is worth anyone's time. who Is not
enjoying good health, to learn OF Mr..
Cooper's wonderful preparations. We
are selling them in large quantities.

years ago, into that part of Klickitat

known as the sage and sad flats OF
the Columbia valley, and bought
something over three sections of this
land that had been much sought by
sheepmen for winter range and early
lambing," said one Of Mr.. Montgom-
ery's friends in Lyle today to the
Portland Oregonian.
Mr.. Montgomery came to Golden
dale nine years ago and accepted a
cashiers position in a bank that Wal
ter II. Moore had started. Previous
to this time Mr. Montgomery had
seen the Transformation of sage and
sand dunes in California into great
vineyards of Muscat and Flame To-
kay grapes. After he had conducted
the bank for four years the institu-
tion was sold.
About this time the voters nom-
mated and elected him treasurer of
Klickitat county He served four
years During his term he ascertained
the north bank road would be built.
He had not forgotten what he had
seen growing in the vineyards about
The Dalles and Arlington, Ore.
So just five years ago Mr.. Mont
gomery. who had come to the Pacific
coast from New York, hled himself
to the owners of the desolate sage
and sand flats opposite Arlington,
Ore, on the Washington side, and
purchased from them cheap: Later
he plated the town of Roosevelt and
built some business houses that at
once found ready occupants

moved to the new town.
For a time he did nothing but COL
lect rents, talked up the town and
the similarity of the Columbia and
the Sacramento valleys as the home
of the grape. Some months ago. af-
ter the North Bank road had laid its
track to the town, there came one
day some strange gentlemen to
Roosevelt
One of the party made a careful
examination of the soils on Mr.. Mont
gomery's lands and 1t has been learn
ed since that the man was an expert
on soils. Another of the party
seemed to be- an engineer who was
looking over the possibilities of wa
ter for the town and adjacent lands.

joining three sections to a Seattle
syndicate headed by Samuel Hill for
the sum of $4,000 is confirmed bv
