End of Unusual Piano Sale
Comes Soon--Remainder
of Stock Goes at Still
Lower Prices---In-
tending Buyers
Must Act
Quickly.

But twenty-three of the pianos
we purchased from the Lucore Co.
now remain unsold. At the time
of special sales it is usually the
cheapest instruments that are the
first ones to be picked up. This
has been true in this instance,
and when 1t comes to quality the
twenty-three instruments re-
naming are really the cream of
the entire stock. 1t was very
largely because of the, higher
prices that these were left until
the last. We are fully determined
that not a single Lucore piano will
be found beneath our roof Febru-
airy LIST and to positively insure
that this will be the case, the
price cutting knife has been APP
piled most vigorously. Monday
morning will see prices placed on
these pianos which, under most
any other circumstances, would
be out of the question.
Without exception every one of
the many who have purchased here
at this time have seen every dol
lar spent buy two dollars worth
of genuine piano value. The buy
ers of the twenty-three pianos yet
to be sold will have still greater
for saving, and ii is
safeseo say that there has never
been a time or place where a dol
lar would go SO far In piano buy

SUSPECT FARMER
OF MANY MURDERS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BELLINrGHAM, Jan. 25.-That
Frank Romandorf's ranch on top
of a mountain near Maple Fails,
hidden and cut off from the out
side world, was a murder farm"
and that the bodies of James Lo-
gan, the farmer who mysteriously
disappeared three years ago, and
those of Fred Helms and Jack
Green, laborers, and possibly 9TH
ers are buried there, is the belief
of the authorities today,
Under the name of Logan, one
of his supposed victims. Roman
dorf, who also was known as
Jahns, was convicted of the muir
der last week at Colville, Wash,
of Mrs. Agnes j. Jansen, his
housekeeper. after sensational
trial, during which Romandorf
exhibited many ecentricities.
No attempt to search the Ro-
mandorf farm for human beings
will be made until the Colville
prisoner makes the statement he
has promised for the day he IS
sentenceds to die on the gallows.

Every day we have been urging
you to come in and make your
selection. There must be an end
to all things and the end of this,
the greatest piano sale the Pa
cific Northwest has ever known,
is ont far distant, and SO once
more we say-don't wait, don't
delay. Someone is bound to be
disappointed when these wonder
full bargains are all gone. Don't
let it be you. You run absolute
ly no risk-every instrument is
sold under a definite and positive
guarantee as to the tone, quality
and durability in addition to our
liberal two years. free trial ex-
change agreement.
No descriptions OF the instru-
ments we could give in cold type
or no prices which we could quote
here would begin to convey to
you the unusual opportunity that
is now presented to you. The
Instruments must certainly be
seen to be appreciated. When we
say there are but twenty-three
pianos left 1t would seem almost
unnecessary for us to say any
thing about calling soon, but you
certainly would be consulting
your own best interests by so do

grand jury which will conduct the
investigation into the meat pac6-
