ALASKAN COAL LAND CASE.
Examination of Cunningham Entry
men at Spokane.

SPOKANE, Wash, December 3.-The
examination of Cunningham Alaska coal
land entrymen was resumed today at the
hearing before Special Commissioner w.
J. Magee. The effort Of counsel for the
claimants was to show that there had
been no agreement for consolidation of
claims prior to the issuing Of patents.
The evidence now being given bears
directly upon the integrity and good faith
of tnirty-three entrymen, among them
many of the leading business men of
Washington and Idaho. and aims at dis
proving the charges that the entrymen
did not make their locations and entries
for their own sole use and benefit, but for
the benefit of corporation. and also that
they have not improved their claims as
required by law.

hearing the testimony of the Rev. T. w.
Grafton and the arguments of the counsel
in the case, Special Judge Shuman sus-
tanned the decision of Judge Horne in

Rev Mr.. Grafton of bottle of beer in
his pulpit in the Central Christian Church

Has Made No Selections.

That President Taft has no two men
in mind for the vacancies is understood
to be certain. He spoke to one of his
callers today and asked If the visitor
knew of two good men. Under these cir
cumstances. the fight appears to be a
wide-open one at this date. Next week
the President will begin going over the
papers that have been filed, and he may
cali in a few prominent District citizens
and ask them about the candidates now
in the field or others about whom he may
desire 10 inquire.
The probability seems to be that by the
end of next week the two District Com
missioners will be included in the nomi-
nations sent to Congress. When the Pres
ident does begin consideration of the ap-
pointments he will act promptly.

The Poultry Industry.

1t is fact not generally known that OF
all farm products poultry stands fifth in
value. II is estimated that the cash de-
rived from the sale OF poultry and eggs
amounts to half a billion dollars annually.
1t is believed that this amount is being
rapidly increased each year, due to the
fact that farmers are beginning to realize
the profits there are in well cared for
flock of hens. When all poultry keepers
fully appreciate how easy it is to increase
the productiveness OF their fowls, it is
fair to assume that this branch Of farm
products will advance we'll toward first
place in relative value. The following
letter from c. ID. Chatterton OF West
Brookheld, VT, indicates the way in
which some are increasing their egg pro-
dnction. He says: 81 have used Pages
Perfected Poultry Fsod' for the last two
years, and got one-third more eggs than
before. l can't get along without it."3
II you want to know more about this
food and the best ways OF using it, write
to c. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT, for his
booklet, "PfofitabIe Poultry" II will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone mention
ing this paper.

A ND to be sure about it you must go to house
"A that has a reliable reputation.
There is nothing more deceiving than piano,
in exterior appearance. To most people they all
look aike-but there's difference big differ
ence. All pianos have case, pegs, wires, keys,
and make notes.-the same a wagon has wheels.
The difference comes in the quality of these parts
as we'll as the way they are put together. And the
sounding board-that is extremely important-it is
really the life, the foundation the character and the
tone of the instrument. These unseen details are
what give piano its true worth and value, and not
appearing on the surface it is necessary for the buy
er to take the dealers word about them.
Reliability has always marked every business
transaction of this music house. No piano ever
leaves our saesrooms without the strongest kind of
a guarantee as to its reliabity-al these qualities
on which the dealers word must be taken guar
anteed to the letter. Therefore you cannot afford
to spend money for big article like piano unless
you are sure you will get what you want-and you
can only be sure by going to concern which has
an established and unquestioned reputation.
We believe our record in the past has estab-
lished such a reputation.
Our regular annual Christmas sale Of Pianos is at its
height and now Is the time 70 make your selection No
matter what instrument you may select what You may
paw what agreed upon full guarantee as 70

any other way, and wouldn't if we could.
