pipe in West Grove addition will be
fed by an extension Of the present
high pressure main running across
Hangman creek, while the Alta
mont standpipe will be filled by an
auxiliary pump located at the pro-

The assertion in some quarters
that there II no need for stand
pipes on the north side for the rea-
son that the water in the new
southeast reservoir can supply that
district, and will overflow the
4 north standpipes because of the
higher level Of the new reservoir,
sounds somewhat ridiculous in
view Of the facts.
The theory Is that the high pres.
sure stream Of water that is; to sup
ply the Kenwood standpipe and
continue thence to the reservoir on
the south hillside is liable to re.
verse itself and flow backward,
causing a flood in the region OF
Kenwood.

The Mystery Of
the Pianola Roll

The mystery of the Pianola roll
is a mystery solved. Great music
has long been mystery to the
majority Of people; its charms and
fascination has not been revealed
to them, because they could not
hear 1t often enough to grasp it's
beauty and because there was no.
body to play 1t for them.
A single hearing of a great piece
of music Is unsatisfactory, but
thanks to the inventors of the
Pianola, you may now play 1t over
and over yourself and let every
measure Of It's marvellous beauty
sink deep into your soul. With the
Pianola piano you come to like
good music because you become ia
miliar with 1t. You like the old
songs and simple music best be-
cause you are most familiar with
Il, but once you become familiar
with the great music of the world,
you will find much more fascina-
ton In 1t.
The real beauty of the genuine
Pianola piano is that It gives you
IN artistic command and allows
you to play the composition with
an elegance equal to fine pianist.
The Pianola piano Is so different
from the ordinary player piano.
and we ask that you be sure and
see the genuine Pianola piano be-
fore you consider any other player.
Come in and let Us show you why
I 90 per cent of the educational insti-
tutions choose the genuine Pianola
piano.

easy terms allowed.

BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

The coming of the new administra-
ton will have a soothing effect upon
the nerves OF the financial communi-
ty. Mr.. Roosevelt introduced many
| reforms that were necessary for public
welfare, and pushed them with vigor
that was often unsettling to vested in.
terests. Certain tendencies arising
from an undue concentration OF
wealth were threatening the political
horizon. and no matter who undertook
the initiative in restraining or regu-
lating them the effect was sure to be
disturbing. Yet the purpose of Mr..
Roosevelt were always of high order,
and with few exceptions were condu-
Give to public good. 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Roosevelt will go down into
history as one Of our greatest Presi-
dents. ranking close to Washington
and Lincoln: but his methods Of carry
ing out these purposes were, as al
ready said, often very irritating and
unsettling So long as these restraints
had to be applied 1t is perhaps as well
that their initiation should have fall
len into the hands OF Mr.. Roosevelt.
for it is easily conceivable that had the
task been undertaken by one of less
force and more radical the end might
have been disastrous. 90 Our ex-presi-
dents policies were never destructive:
They were always progressive. and
have done more to check extreme rad
icalism and socialism than any move
ment that the country has ever expert
enced. AS soon as the dust of con-
flict subsidies. a. clearer vision of Mr..
Roosevelt's character will be obtained /;
and ten years hence it is safe to say
that he will have attained a much
higher position in the regard of his
fellow countrymen than he holds at
the present time. The country is for
tunate in having successor who will
continue these policies in a firm. but
more tactful and judicious manner.
President Taft's ideas and methods
are well understood. He has the fac
ulty of winning by attraction rather
than compulsion. and now that the cur
rent of reform has been turned in the
