Eilers Busy AS Bees
Kranich & Bach at $291-Baby Grands at $41O and
Other Tempting Offerings Prove Irresistible
Many Buyers Taking Advantage of This
Most Unusual Sale

1t takes more than Tacoma
|snowstorm to keep piano hungry
people away from Eilers when an
|nouncement of special values at
reduced prices have been made.
Despite the very disagreeable
weather of this morning our list
of special offerings, published in
yesterdays papers brought forth
a small army of shoppers which
lat times seemed greater than our
sales force was able to wait upon.
However, those who found it nee
|essary to wait felt amply repaid
for the inconvenience occasioned.
Certainly at no time before have
they ever seen such big piano
values sold at such very little
prices. Did anyone ever before
find Kranich & Bach upright
pianos selling for considerably
less than $500 or beautiful 5000
baby grand at $410? These are
only mentioned to show what an
unusual opportunity was present
ed at this time. The entire store
was full of instruments (seventy
in all, to be exact), every one Of
which represented just as remark
able values as these. At the time
of this going to press, thirteen in
struments have been selected by
those who have called early to
get first choice, and every buyer

found them doing twice the work
in the hay and grain fields by
with half of the help
that it required when 1 ran it.
ITS a fact that New York and
the other large cities are full of
labor, but it is utterly
to get this labor to go
out and help the farmer. They
will not leave the city, and if they
did they would be found of very
little value, because they know it
all and it seems a waste of time
to try to teach them to be useful.
81 say continued the secretary,
that there are too many middle
men trying to live off the farmers
produce. They crowd into the cit
les and try to live by getting a
profit in the handling or sale of
the producers products. These
people ought to go on the land
and raise crops.

been passed around that there's
going to be nothing very serious
in the matter of railroad legisla.
ton before the present congress.
The thing has been all ar
ranged. There has been no real
fight on in President Taft's pro-
gram, and there will be none.
The fight, IL there ever was one
in sight, was settled ON the give

presidents Compromises"
That glum parade of nine rail-
road presidents at the white
house the other day was all for
effect. They are enjoying that
well-advertised same very mucn
ON Wall street.
The main points of the agree
ment between the administration
and the railroads as told by those
in the financial district who are
on the inside, are:
Congress is to pass a bill en-
bodying these items recommend
ed in the presidents recent mesa
age:
ID Power in the interstate
commerce commission to make
rates on the commissions initia-
tive.
Cd Power In the commission
to suspend a railroad-made rate
until its reasonableness Is tn
quired into.
CD Power in the commission
to make certain administrative
rules relative to traffic necessary
to the enforcement of rate orders
In return the railroads are rs
receive: "
ID An amendment OF the
Sherman antitrust law which
forbids combination among
railroads such as the joint traffic
CD An amendment of the

concentrations will go by the
board. There will be no:

court.
(2) Physical valuation of rail-
road properties.
ca Supervision of stock AMI
bond issues.
The nomipal objection of the
railroads is to be to all President
Taft's recommendations. Their
real objection Is directed to the
three items last named.
The general impression In New
York is that President Taft's fed.
eral corporation plan for big
combinations OF capital is real.

chase to furnish a musical educa-
ton for the entire family. If the
buying continues all day at its
present rate, all piano selling
records will have been broken be-
fore the store closes tonight.
This Is most emphatically the time
for you to get your piano if you
expect to buy at any time within
the next five years.
Remember the circumstances
attending this sale are entirely
out of the ordinary. The instru-
ments offered are not of our regu-
lar line, are surplus stock for
which we have no room. We
bought them cheap, awfully cheap,
and are turning them over to our
customers at less prices than
great many dealers pay for the
same identical pianos at whole
sale. Now do not hesitate upon
the matter of terms. Come in
and look around, and tell us what
you think you can do and we will
see that you are not disappointed.

in the stock exchange today with

With a liberal or coalition vic

out the most radical legislation
ever proposed in England.
Among the contemplated meas
ures are a resolution taking the
power of veto from the house of
lords; the reintroduction of the
budget; Irish home rule, and a
bill to put stop to plural voting,
abolishing the franchise handicap
under which the masses now

1t is predicted that the liberals,

will start a fight to make the

FARMER DOESN'T GET THE SWAG HIGH PRICES COME AFTER 6
He LETS 60 Of THE PRODUCE DECLARES SECY Will SONN

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 1.
Jas. Wilson, secretary of agri-
culture, while he admits a great
increase In the cost of living, re-
lieves the farmer from blame for
1t. He puts the whole response
bility for increased cost of living
up to interests who make large
profits from the handling of farm
produce after it leaves the farm
er's hands.
AS an instance of big profits
after the farmer has parted with
his commodities, he cited his re-
cent investigation into the price of
meat.
He urged other reasons to clear
the farmer of any suspicion of get
ting swollen profits from the con-
sumner for his food products.
"The increased cost of grain en-
tiers into the increased cost of rails
ing hogs, cattle. chickens, turkeys
and all farm animals" he said.
1T does not pay to fatten hogs
and steers on so and 70-cent corn
unless the price of meat is high.
1t takes high-priced grain to raise
chickens that lay eggs.
"The ranges for cattle and sheep
are becoming smaller and smaller
each year. This of course means
that more corn and hay must be
fed to range stock"
How about wheat prices?"
"Oh, wheat has heretofore been
kept cheap in price because 1t was
raised on the cheap and rich lands
of the pioneer. 1t was always
raised on the frontiers in bonanza
fields and by machinery. The
frontier is now retired into Can
ada and the average crop of wheat
per acre has lessened from year to
year in this country. The farmer
cannot afford to raise spring wheat
now on old land. He has done
all he could to keep the price of
his products down. He does all
his work by machinery that he
can.
"A short time ago I was back on
the old place that l used to farm
in Iowa. A couple of my younger

YOUNG MEN IN JAIL FOR
STEALING FROM STANDARD
PAPER COMPANY - SAID TO
HAVE CONFESSED.

Thefts of valuable paper, play
ing cards and stationary from
the Standard Paper company,
amounting to about $1,000, have
been confessed by c. E. Embree,
according to City Detective Fack-
Ter, who, with Detective Ashby,
arrested Embree and M. d. Flye
at Flye's home. 619 st. Helens
avenue, last night. Flye is also
said to have admitted his guilt.
Embree is said to have been
prompted by a desire to appear
rich in the eyes of his sweetheart.
Flye is married, and blames
Gmbree for leading him into the
alleged thievlng operations,
which began on December IA, say
the detectives. Both are sales
men for the Standard Paper
company.
Finds Fake Orders.
When an expressman drove up
to the rear door of the concern
yesterday and Flye and Embree
loaded two boxes of goods into
the wagon, Secretary Roy E. Da-
wilson inquired into the ship
ment and discovered a system of
fake orders whereby the pair have
been conducting their operations.
Four boxes of goods have been
recovered in storage in Portland
through the confessions of the
two men. Three more are stored
with a local storage house, and a
suitcase full of alleged stolen
property was found at Flye's resi-
dence last night. Embree has
been boarding with Flye and his
young wife.
fearful Interview.
This morning the pair was TAX
en- from the city to the county
jail. Frye had a fearful inter-
view with his wife, while a two
year-old baby chung to its father
and twisted its tiny hands
through his matted hair. 1t is said
that Mrs. Flye has been aware
of her husbands populations for
several weeks and has repeatedly
demonstrated with him. This
morning 1856, taken from
Flye's person, was turned over to
her. Flye said he had no particu-
lar reason for stealing, except
that he wanted to help Embree
win his sweetheart, and thought
he might be able to start in bust
ness for himself with the money
to be realized from the sale of
the goods.
Both were formerly Northern
Pacific firemen. Embree's par
ents live at The Dalles, Ore, and
have been communicated with
regarding the plight of their son.
The warrant for their arrest on
a charge of grand larceny was
sworn to before Justice Graham
and the accused men were given a
preliminary hearing before him
this afternoon.
