MANY WORDS IN A PIANO

AS many kinds of wood are used in
the making of a piano as in the max
ing OF a house or ocean steamship
certain wodds possess certain quail
tiles demanded by piano manufacture
ers, and no substitutes will be taken
The sounding board, fo- instnace.
is never made Of anything but spruce.
IL Is thin piece-mOre frequently
several pieces glued together-the
whole thing would hardly make en-
ough kindling for a fire, il Ratchet
were used on it. But it is the one es-
sential thing, and without it there
could be no piano.
1t is selected with care seasoned
in the most painstaking manner, cut
and shaped by experts, and it becomes
the soul and life of the instrument.
Had the spruce used in d sounding
board gone to the pulp mill instead of
the piano factory, it would have made
about enough paper for a couple of
sheets of music
The pianos frame, the part which
holds the strings and endures the in
cessant strain Of several tons, is us
ually of elm Bicycle rims are of the
same wood, and the enormous load
which a thin strip weighing a few
ounces can carry is we'll known
The visible part of piano is the
veneer, the thin shell of wood glued
over the outside of the frame. The
music would be as fine and the frame
as strong without the veneer But
1t adds beauty, and for that reason
a beautiful wood is selected. and is
stained, vanished and polished. 1t
may be walnut, mahogany. oak, ash,
maple. cherry or rosewood. 1t is as
thin as an egg shell but it hides the
heavy poplar planks to which it is
glued. Yellow poplar is nearly al
ways used for backing of piano veneer.
Maple and cedar are commonly used
for bridges. levers. hammershanks,
backstops. and other small mechan
isms, while white pine is excellent for
keys. Perhaps not more than one
or two of the states grow all the kinds
Of wood used in making one good
piano. Suitable materials must be
brought together from distant places
but all of those necessary are found
in sufficient quantities in the United
States: though considerable amounts
OF the finest foreign woods are brought
in for veneer on high grade instru-
ments

and every week in the year. 1t is
now an established branch of the rail-

do the work and carefully tabulate the

HADE FINE CLUB HOME

Meeting OF residents of Ely City
was held last evening at the Ely
Townsite Offices for the purpose of
concluding organization of the vol

Rates Petition in
Printers Hands

CARSON, July 2s.-The petition
of the Nevada railroad commission to
the interstate commerce commission
to force the Southern Pacific railroad
TO grant Reno an intermediate ter
minal rate is today in the hands of
the state printers. II will be signed
by Attorney General Stoddard and
members OF the Nevada railroad COM
mission and will then be forwarded
to the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington.
Attorney General Stoddara in
speaking of the petition this morning,
said: THE petition is quite long
and recites many specific instances
where the Southern Pacific company
is favoring San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and other coast cities at the
expense of Reno. He declares that
a comparison of many rates is made
in the petition and that all through
the petition there are examples show

that of securing quarters in the
building as a rem
devious and retreat for the firemen
Billiard and pool tables and other
amusements will be provided and at
all times a goodly assortment of
and reading matter will
be on hand.
The quarters will be used exelu-
sively by the members of the differ
ent companies of the department and
ii is aimed to make the club rooms
as attractive and interesting as pds-
sible. Erection of a pavilion for the
holding of dances and entertainments
was also proposed and steps toward
that end will be taken shortly.
Substantial aid is being lent 10 the
movement and there is no doubt that
the plans will carry successfully with
result that Ely City will be equipped
in the near future with one of the
best fire fighting organizations in the
state, the members of which will be
provided with quarters for passing
their leisure time where they can
find wholesome amusement and
pleasant surroundings.

abandoned as inadequate to present

structure which the district will have

in November. or possibly not until
in December. Ground has been
broken for the foundations but the
extent of the structure and the ex-
cellence of construction which is TO
be had will require considera BILE
