SOME fine UPRIGHTS AS Low AS S167

1t is one thing to plan and another
To execute. We lately closed a branch
house in the upper peninsula and after
| thinking the matter over decided To
bring all of its big stock to Calumet
and sell il here at cost, rather than
ship this stock back to the factory.
after which we intended to 90 back
To our original scale of prices.
We sold all this large stock of pianos
easily and quickly, to delighted GUS
toners, but incidentally we stirred up
a lot more who wanted pianos Of the
same quality at the sams low price.
Some of these we lost on account of
not having enough of the particular
style of piano that they wanted in the
pianos We received. Othn's are still
coming to us, expecting to take adj
vantage of the low sale prices we
have been making, until we have finally
decided To add to the stock we have
already sold, Twenty-Five Beautiful
New Conover, Gable, Kinssbury, Wei
lington and Inner Player Pianos, which
we have just received from our fac
tories and will sell them at the Same
low prices as the others.
EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION.
While we knew that our line of
pianos stood ut the very top i'm the
public estimation still we did not
know that there was going to be so
big demand for them this fall and
winter even at reduced prices. OF
course we looked for an increase in |
sales, but our business for the past |
four weeks, in number of pianos sold, !
has never, we believe, been equalled |
IN the state by any piano house of |
even twice the size of this store
MEETING THE CONDITION.
Now, therefore, we are going to
continue selling our goods at the same
low prices ard easy terms (Which have
been offered i'm this past four weeks

tory until we have sold the whole
added stock of twenty-five pianos.
After they are gone we simply will
not contine this sale because we
can't. No piano house can stand TO

a RARE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The remarkable unanimity displayed
throughout the upper peninsula upon
the Osborn candidacy serves as the
best possible illustration OF the fitness
OF the man for the high office of chief
executive OF the state, comments the
500 News. No man active, as has been
Chase Osborn, could possibly rally TO
his standard practically every leading
republican of his district. If his quail
\ ficgtions for a position OF public trust
were not so striking as 10 practically
compel support. There may have been
I in Michigan affairs some individual
whose home support has approached
in solidity that given Chase Osborn,
hut we feel sure that investigation Of
such an instance will disclose that the
individual prior TO his entry into the
political arena, had been inactive in
the discharge Of his political duties.
quite the reverse is true Of the present
case. But few men in Michigan have
been more active or more prominent
In state affairs than Chase Osborn dur |
ing the past fifteen years, and yet in
spite OF this fact. the announcement Of 1
his candidacy is hailed among the peo-
pie among whom he has been most ac-
tive with pleasure and with assurances
OF united support.
Another peculiar and distinctively |
gratifying feature OF the situation is
the disinterestedness OF this support
Although practically every newspaper,
every legislator and every political
leader in the district has declared his
loyalty 70 the Osborn cause. not one
has been prompted TO this through
hope Of political reward. Support thus
constitutes a compliment 70
Mr. Osborn rarely met with in prac-
teal politics.
The influence OF the united support
n the district for Osborn upon the
fortunes OF the contest in the lower
peninsula will be inestimable. Men
everywhere are powerfully influenced
by the estimate Of candidate formed
by the men who know him best. and
in this case. conclusions arrived at i'm

should not conspire To any false sense
of security concerning the majority
which the upper peninsula will give
Chase Osborn. The percentage Of en-
rolled voters in this district is lower
han in any other district in the state.
and the first big victory Of the Osborn
.ampaign must be achieved i'm April
next. when the final enrolment is
made for the September primary. For

VETERAN EDITOR
ON IRRIGATION
WRITES TO MANAGEMENT OF IR-
RIGATION CONGRESS ON MAT
TIERS PERTAINING TO IRRTGA-
TION SUBJECTS.

Nowhere in the world is agricul-
ture so intelligent as in the irrigat-
ed regions; nowhere is it so produc-
tive, and nowhere else have the prob
lens of poverty, isolation and failure
been so effectually attacked"
Colonel Harvey W. Scott, editor
of the Portland Oregonian and dean
of journalism on the Pacific slope,
who has been actively identified with
practically every uplift movement in
the northwest during the last 35
years, says this in urging continent
wide cooperation and commenting
upon the Importance to the nation
of the National Irrigation congress,
which will have it's seventeenth ses-
sions in Spokane August 9 to IA. un-
der the presidency of George E. Bar
stow of Barstow, Texas, adding:
eff the people were interested in
events in proportion to their impor-
lance the irrigation congress next Au-
gust would plunge the whole country
T..
however, that our national equanim-
ity will not be greatly perturbed by
Il.
although the subject to be dis
eussed relates vitality to human hap
piness, although the way we finally
answer the questions which the emf
nent speakers at the congress will
raise may decide whether 500 years
from now the United States shall be
a f1ourishing empire or a desert soli-
tud,e nevertheless it will not be easy
to arouse more than a perfunctory
public interest.
"The great names of the orators,
the pomp of civic festivity, the dis
play of governmental science will all
be needed to hold the languid ear of
the Indifferent farmer, whom moth
ing short of an earthquake will COM
pei to think or study. Irrigation
would rain gold into his tubs If he
would set them out; but he won't
until he is harried and bounded into
doing it.
"But the farmer is no worse than
other men. Few of us take more
than a feeble and spasmodic inter
est in the things that concern us most
deeply. Consider how speedily an
audience vanishes whenever speak
er touches on education, a subject

lonia and Egypt were laid the foun-
dations of every science and all the
arts. The reason is plain enough.
Irrigation drives man to think and
plan on the one hand and to cooper
ate with his neighbors on the other
The habit of thinking about one SUBJ
ject leads him to exercise his brain
on others, and presently he discovers
the great truth that ideas are upon
the whole beneficial to him rather
than baneful.
Cooperation is the only way out
of most rural difficulties, and it is
easier in irrigated regions than else
where for divers reasons. One is
that irrigation depends from the be-
ginning on cooperation. But also

ner of Mission and Orondo streets.

These lines have not been carried by

far, and the new concern will prob
ably be welcomed by the ladies OF

whose import is even weightier than
irrigation.
at is only by fits and starts that
we can be induced to think OF the
salvation of our immortal souls.
Some sporadic Billy Sunday can turn
our attention to these precious enti-
ties once in a while, but how long
does it stay fixed? Salome dancing a
frivolous hornpipe makes us forget
time and eternity.
eff a man were truly rational
being, the minute he learned that
irrigation would double the produce
of his farm, even in such favored
region as the Willamette Valley, he
would rush to build dams and dig
bitches, but he doesn't. He waits I'M
til somebody has pushed and prod
ded him.
think how long it has taken some
of the rural brethren to begin spray
ing their apple trees. They know
that a few doses of lead arsenate
would save their fruit from ruin and
line their pockets with dollars, but
not a drop did they spray until pa
ternal government stepped in and
gave them no choice. AS race, we
are Just as lazy and short-sighted as
we dare to be, and most of us would
far prefer to swing a heavy sledge
hammer ten hours rather than think
for ten minutes.
"Such congresses as the one which
will meet in Spokane next August
are more valuable for reiterating old
truths than for revealing new ones.
Iteration is all that saves the world
from a relapse into a barbaric squa-
lor Hearing the truth about irriga-
ton of anything else once only does
us not the slightest good. We must
hear it a thousand times and in ev-
cry possible key.
''The Massachusetts savings bank
insurance scheme was based on the
supposition that when life insurance
was made cheap and easy every per-

are offering insurance, and there is
nobody to buy. To persuade us to
