met his death by drowning June IL,
1910, at Payette, Idaho, in the Pay

He was a bright manly little fel-

standing in the class.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home of his parents on

The following tribute TO the man
ly little fellow who gave up his own

his brother was written by Miss
Lois Moore his Sunday School and
music teacher.
Little Jay, sleep sweetly
In your bed of clay,
Now you are with Jesus
lad you'll be alway.
Little hands lie quiet
All the summer night,
Little soul with Jesus
Pure, and clean. and white.
But we'll miss you ever
From our Sabbath class,
Where each Sabbath morning
Pleasant hours we pass.
Wen miss your cheerful voice
In our song and prayer,
But we know you're happier
With Jesus up there.
Dear Jay, you remind us
That we too must go
To meet our dear Saviour,
Leave our friends below;
And Wen try remember
Our Saviour to live near
So Wen m ct in heaven
With our classmate dear.

STATE LAW COVERS
DOG LICENSE

a number of people seem to
have the opinion that the dog tax
IS fixed in amount by the city coun-
ell and that it is responsible for
what is considered by many TO be
an excessive charge. This is not
the case as the dog license is fixed
)y state law and in this respect the
council has no jurisdiction other
than to simply see that the letter
Of the law is obeyed. Following we
quote from the session laws of the
state of Idaho covering the matter
1f dog license regarding the duties
Of the city council:
"Eleventh.-To impose a license
tax of not less than three nor more
than ten dollars upon the owners and
narborers of dogs, and enforce the
same by appropriate penalties, and
to authorize the destruction of any
log the owner or harborer of which
shall neglect or refuse to pay such
license tax. Provided, That no
such license shall authorize the keep
ing, owning, or harboring, of more
han one dog"
1t will be seen from the above
that the duties of the council as out
lined in the session laws regarding
dog license is plain and that they
are restricted in the matter of what
shall be constituted charge for
log license.

OFFICERS MAKE
IMPORTANT
ARREST

The police made an important
capture on New Years eve, when
Detectives Boldman and Thompson
landed Ira Thompson at the Ffister
cafe. Thompson, who was placed
in jail upon the charge Of sandbag-
ging Charles e. Horton, at first
gave his name as Joe Duffy.
Police Inspector William H. Lew
is at once went to work on the
case, and by the use of the BERTH
lion measurements and Identified
ton books, established to his own
satisfaction that the suspect was
Ira Thompson, who recently con-
cluded a six months term at Walla
Walla for burglary. When Thomp-
son was confronted with the facts
last night, he admitted his identity.
Among the personal effects found
in the room of Ira Thompson, who
is now detained in the city jail,
were some letters written by his
mother, Mrs. Kate Thompson of
Unionville, Mo. The letters tell a
most pathetic story of an aged
mother who is grieved over her
wayward son. In the note she begs
of him to be true and good and TO
come and see her soon.

. WEATHER CONDITIONS .
. q - . Q q . q . - 90 -

Reports from middle Canada are
missing. High pressure still COW
ers the greater part of the coun-
try; an extensive and quite high
crest covers the lake region; an
other crest of less pressure is over
Washington. The moderately low
pressure that was over the south
ern part of the Rockies yesterday
has made but little movement. The
high pressure has caused a general
and considerable fall of tempera-
ture eastwardly from the Missis-
sippi valley that has almost at
tanned the intensity of a cold wave
at some places from which reports
have been received. From the Pa
cific to the Mississippi valley tenn
perature changes have been in gen.
eral moderate, with much higher
temperature in the Dakotas, north
ern Alberta and Nevada, slightly
higher was reported in eastern
Washington. Scattered precipitation
was reported from southern Califor-
MIA and over the Rocky mountain
region, the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys, the Ohio valley and the
lake region to the coast of New
England. Conditions this morning
are favorable for fair and continued
cold weather in this vicinity tonight
and Wednesday. - Chas. Stewart,
Local Forecaster.

mission designs have been reduced
$3.50; magnificent grands can now
be purchased at the ordinary
price of an upright, and likewise
player pianos are selling for less
than the same piano would cost
without the player.
Remember, too, you are now pur-
chasing these instruments of SpO-
kane's oldest music house and
firm that you can put the utmost
confidence in.
GUARANTEE IS lRON-CLAD
We are guaranteeing these in
struments just the same as our
own regular line and anything we
cannot guarantee Is not included
in the sale
Furthermore, any time within
two years that you wish to ex-
change one of these pianos for a
better and more costly piano. play
er-pianO or grand, we will allow
all you have paid on 1t to apply
on the new instrument.
We want you to know that we
absolutely protect you against any
chance of disappointment The
responsibility is all 11Is.
TERMS
So soon after the holidays ready
money is not always easy to get
hold of, so we are making most
unusual terms of payment. You
will be surprised 20 see what IS,
$6 and 81 per month will do in the
way of paying for a good durable
piano.
Some we are selling at $40 down
and SIS per month; others at SIS
down and Sc per month; others at
$40 down and 81 per month, and
so on up.
FOLLOW THE CROWD
There were 81 pianos In all at
the Spokane store and warehouse
of Lucore Piano Company. These
we have determined to close out
in 10 days at practically what they
would bring. Yesterday scarcely
before news of our sale had gone
out, there were as many as a dozen
sales made to Spokane people. You
see, then, the best thing you can
do is to come at the first oppor-
tunity. While any piano we have
offered is an exceptional bargain.
yet there may be some that
would please you more than others
and an early visit gets a better Sc
lection, ar, mo ,r,..oA =,
If you don't understand any point
or don't find quoted just what you
want, step In and ask questions.
Extra statesmen are here to wait,
upon you and somewhere is a piano
bargain for you never to be
equa]led again.

Even before our sale commenced
yesterday morning buyers began
flocking to Eilers, eager to secure
one of the fine bargains which they
knew would be there.
This stock of pianos was Sc
cured against the bids of several
other dealers who bid higher, but
the fact that we could pay spot
cash for the stock of all three
stores furnished an easy and quick
way out of Mr.. Lucore's difficulty
and the deal was contaminated
Friday morning
Teams were busy until nearly
midhight Friday transferring the
stock to Eilers Piano House from
the Lucore building. which had to
be vacated before IL o'clock mid
night.
We purchased this stock prin-
cipally because we could get it at
practically our own price, and like
the retail buyer we are looking for
bargains. .
The reputation of our immense
business has been gained by giving
bargains, and naturally we are
anxious to have every home in
Spokane and vicinity know about
the biggest bargain sale of pianos
we have ever held.
PIANOS 500, $3.50, $1es, $173, ETC.
The small sum of 500 will now
purchase a regular 1925 piano and

Offered by ourselves or Lucore,
even at his closing out sale, for
less than SIPS.
The $3.50 kind Lucore was clos
ing out at 5000 we are selling at
$156
1886 styles cut to $21S we are
closing out at $16S
$425 styles cut to $29S we are
closing out at $249.
Such a Strengthening of prices
you never laid eyes on.
We would not have thought of
purchasing these extra pianos
right in the face of our January in
ventory If we had been obliged to
pay anything like the regular
wholesale price. We purchased
them at price that would enable
us to close them out in 10 days at
the most If we can make a very
ismal1 profit on the whole trans
action we will be satisfied. The
friends it will make for us is worth
much to US in advertising.

ANOTHER "BED
PARTNER" STORY

Another bad partner" story was
poured into the ears of the police
last night by J. e. Dawson, who
alleges that his roommate at the
Vinson rooming house, in the Pr
oneer block, got away with $40 of
his hard-earned cash. According
to another story, however, the bad
partner was taken on in some of
the local thirst parlors.
1t is reported that Dawson was
found lying on the street in a
drunken condition at 1870 this
morning and taken up to his room
in the VinsOn.

year endowment policy and a
2o-pay life policy has brought
Ad Guisdorf and A. T. johnson,

as expected, johnson stopped
payment on his check as soon
as he discovered the difference
in the policies. Guisdorf is su-
ing for the amount Of the pay
