ALL TOO CROWDED
EXCEPT ONE
HOME
Destitute Mother With
Three Children Having a
Hard Time Of It.

After making a tour of the or
phanages of the city for home for
her three little children, and being
turned away with the information
that all were full and could take no
more, Mrs. Wooten of Union Park,
mother of three destitute children,
yesterday applied to Mrs. Dey of
the Orphans Home of Spokane for
aid for her hungry little ones and
got it for the time being.
Mrs. Dey's institution has Al lit
tie tots in it's care and is crowded
to the limit of its capacity, but she
agreed to care for the little ones
until the woman could make some
other arrangements.
Mrs. Wootcn, in her efforts to
secure aid, visited the Children's
home, st. Joseph's orphanage and
the Church home in the north end
of LidgerwOod, but all of these in
situations said that they were full.
At one of the homes it was said
that the children would be taken il
the mother could pay $40 per
month, but as the mother had not
the $40 she went away.
This was the third report Of this
character made today by applicants
| for admission to the Orphans
| Home of Spokane.

THE FIGHT FOR GOOD
Government CONTINUED
GOOD SHOWING MADE FOR SHORT FIGHT
WORKING NOW FOR GENERAL
ELECTION .

The good government endorse
ments by the farmers and organ
lied labor Jared badly in the county
offices, but made good showing
in the legislative races.
The reason was that the forces
advocating good government got
into the fight too late; they had no
organization and but limited means
to carry on fight. They advocat-
ed the election Of the best timber
afforded and went behind some
men who were opposed to others
on the same ticket. They had no
paid workers on election day, while
in every precinct there were from
four to 10 workers for the gang
candidates. In the face of these
conditions the men active in the
good government movement feel
that their work was not all in vain.
They gave the gang a bad scare
and the result Of the primaries for
BODIES disaster in November for
some of the men nominated Tues
day.
All things considered, the race of
c. r. Shenk against Sheriff Mac
Pugh is encouraging. 1t shows that
much larger percentage of people
in limited vote are opposed to the
domination Of the Pughs than was
really expected in the primaries.
The fact Fred Pugh, unopposed on
his ticket, was freely scratched is
also some indication that trouble
lies ahead for the other member
of the Pugh family up for the reg
ular biennial endorsement of the
people.

Business Ethics and a Word of Advice to Piano
Buyers and Owners

under which we could use this
shipment of pianos, all being eX-
tremely high grade. When the fol-
lowing proposition was made to us
and the one which makes it posi-
BILE for us to sell pianos at prices
and terms that are absolutely with
out precedent. They agreed to give
us the benefit of every dollar of
freight paid by them upon these
three carloads of pianos, this being
the sum of $1196.00 They also
agreed to assist in advertising this
sale, which is proving to be the
greatest piano selling event we
have ever seen. We didn't
know that it was possible to get SO
many people to walk several blocks
out of the business center and pur-
chase their pianos. We have al
ways enjoyed a good conservative
business in this vicinity, but never
realized that pianos could be sold
in such great numbers nor did we
think that the general public were
so well educated on piano values as
to appreciate to such an extent the
prices that are offered by the fac
tory representative who are with
us now.
We wish to say to those who
have purchased pianos elsewhere
that we prefer that you do not
come and investigate this PROPOSE
ton, because it would be unfair for
you to expect your local dealers to
compete with our present prices up
on the grade of goods offered, and
when you have closed transaction
with another dealer, we would
much prefer that you carry the
same out with that dealer to the
letter. There are plenty of people
who do not own pianos now to
whom we can dispose of all the in.
struments we are now offering at
the tremendously cut prices and
the end of the week will find us
cleared up slick and clean. We
hope the general public will re-
ceive the foregoing remarks in the
spirit in which they are made. I'm
derstand, we want business, but we
want to get it legitimately and
without doing an injustice or injury
to any competitor. Yours very
truly. Mark F. Jones & Sons

We have had many callers dur
ing the past week who have pur-
chased pianos from local piano
houses and when finding that by
waiting a short time that a saving
of from $500 to $4,000, accord
ing to the price of the piano pur-
chased, could have been made by
purchasing piano from us at the
present time. during our great fac
tory piano sale. Many have said,
well, we will send back our
piano, forfeit what we have paid
and purchase one of these pianos"
Here is where we wish to advise
you. Do not do anything of the
kind, but remain loyal to your
dealer of whom you have purchased
your piano, it is only on behalf of
justice that We wish to call your
attention to this point. While we
realize you could possibly make a
saving by following this plan of
procedure we do not wish to upset
the relations between anyone who
has purchased and the dealer sell
ing them. 1t is unfair to the deal
ers selling you the first instru-
ment, no doubt he sold you your
piano at reasonable retail profit
and it is unfair to make comparison
between the prices we are now ma
king and the prices any retail deal
er could give you under any ordin'
airy circumstances, as you know
the circumstances which have
brought about this sale are such as
would happen only once in a life
time. Our reasons for giving this
sale are as follows Some few
weeks ago a lease was practically
consummated upon a magnificent
wareroom by the third largest man
ufacturer in America and when II
came to signing the lease there
were stipulations in the same re-
garding alterations which prevented
the deal from going through. The
manufacturer mentioned above had
shipped to this city 67 selected
sample instruments for the purpose
of opening a beautiful piano store
When the negotiations ended the
factory refused to accept the lease
as it read, and this magnificent
shipment of pianos was left upon
their hands. We had purchased all
| the pianos We needed for our win
ter trade and we could see no way
