FREIGHT CLEANED UP.
Five Grand Trunk Freight Trains
Leave Portland on Friday.

Portland. Me, July 22.-"The freight
at tie Portland terminals is as well
cleaned up tonight as IT. has been at
any time since spring" said Trainmas-
ter j. j. Connolly of the Grand Trunk
tonight Five freight trains left Port
land today and so far as known are
moving along as usual.
Mr.. Connolly said that the merchants
at Montreal had refused to sell provi-
sions to the company or its new en-
ployes and tonight a quantity was ship
ped up along the line from this city.
The company is also building board
ing house at Island Pond to accomno-
date it's employees there.
An Important feature of the progress
Of the strike in this city was the post
ing today about the company's terlnin-
ais of new schedule Of wages, which
is substantial increase over what pre-
vailed when the strike was declared.
The new schedule offers conductors be-
tween Portland and Montreal $135
month. baggagemen $S5 and brakemen
$50 Conductors had been paid $40
month and the others a like proportion.
The increase is not what the men ask
ed but is more than they were said to
have been offered.
Mr.. Connolly reported that there had
been no assertions among the new en-
ployes and that in several instances
some of the strikers had asked for their
positions and had been refused.

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
Striking Trainman at Portland Gives
His Wow Of Situation.

Portland, Me, July Gone Of the
striking trainmen, formerly employed by
the Grand Trunk Railroad, explains some
of the points that have brought about the
differences between the road and the men.
He says that the trouble began Nov. Il.
1909. when the order of r. r. Conductors
and Brotherhood Of r. r. Trainmen held
a convention in Boston and adopted q
uniform wage schedule to apply to all
roads east of Chicago and north Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio. All the roads in this
territory except the Grand Trunk have
complied with that schedule.
An answer was received from the
Grand Trunk officials Jan. 20, 1910, In
which the reasons why they could not
come under the agreement were set forth,
but they did agree to do so, beginning
Jan. l, 1913. n
The reason for this long postponement.
1t seemed to the men, was In order for
the Grand Trunk to establish and obtain
profit from the Grand Trunk Pacific ex-
tensions. This would have meant two
and a half years Of discrimination on the
part of the road, so the men claim, with
distinct advantage to the Grand Trunk
and corresponding disadvantage to moro
than 30 other roads which are more or
less in competition with the Grand Trunk.
Efforts have been made continually for
six months to induce the Grand Trunk
officials to sign the agreement and only

HE GETS LETTER WIFE
WROTE ~ YEARS AGO

DUNKIRK, N. Y, March 3d.
Levi C. Persons, 80. of Dunkirk,
has received a letter written to
him Nov. 2, 1862, by his wife, Ar.
mena Persons, who with their four
little children was living on farm
at Arkwright Centre, N. Y, while
he, soldier of Company F. 145th
regiment, New York volunteers in
the civil war, lay i'll in regimental
hospital near Washington.
The apparent reason for the de-
lay in his receiving the letter Is
that is was delivered to his broth

in another regimental hospital and
whose initials were the same. They
did not meet for three months and
Lester G. must have forgotten the
letter. Lester c. Persons died re-

PIANO SALE
BRINGS CROWDS

A constant crowd Of piano buy
ers have been taxing our sales
force to the limit since last Friday
morning, and the continued sue
cess of our consolidation clearance
sale has made 1t necessary to pro-
vide extra teams to deliver the
pianos sold.
Such a demonstration Of piano
selling Is a thing unknown at any
other piano store in Spokane. They
take place at our store whenever
we advertise special values. be-
cause the people simply can't resist
the bargains that they know from
the experience of their friends and
neighbors will be there.
We can't take the time to go into
detail again regarding this sale,
but will only say that 1t is Of much
importance to US that We reduce
our stock greatly before final con.
solidation, and it is necessary that
all odd styles and discontinued
lines be disposed of.
That's the whole story Of why
we are selling new pianos at reduc-
tons of $56 to $40; dozens OF
styles and world-famous makes.
Secondhand and slightly used
pianos as low as SITS, including
some as good as new and all stand
ard makes.
Terms as low as SIS down and
