To the Music Dealers of the State of
WASHINGTON:

To the Music Dealers of the State of
Washington:
The time is pressing when "Mu-
sic dealers protective organization"
is to be organized permanently over
the state for the purpose of enroll
ing every legitimate dealer into a
brotherly and consistent union of
dealers that will stand for honest
and righteous methods in the music
business. and affiliate itself with the
main body of music dealers over the
United States
One of the reasons for the timely
cooperation of all dealers that are
honest and square is found in the
fact that several music trusts have
been launched over the Pacific coast,
monopolizing and subjugating the
business into their hands and bring
ing the evil spirit of trust domination
into the circles of musical patron
age
the piano trusts that are twOfOld in
nature-either boldly crooked Of
smoothly croOked-for these rea-
sons:

The yield of orchards and the pri-
rs received for the product in the
Fenatchee and upper Columbia val
eys this year prove beyond doubt
hat this district is one of the most
esirable in the United States. For

Which will return an income far in

and the widest publicity given of the
opportunities which still await the

substantial basis for this publicity.
One thousand dollars an acre net

incredulous, but the Wenatchee val
ley has demonstrated the truth of
this assertion.

4th. They have tried to make the
people believe that. owing to the
operations of many stores they could
sell cheaper, whereas the public has
found out that through the trusts
expensive methods of high salaried
employees, big hotel expenses and
general extravaganza they have made
the piano business a cesspOOl of ex-
tortionate price juggling, against
which the honest local dealers must
take a decided stand.

be sold again by the willy trust agents

know what a piano is.

The Prisoner In the Corn-Crlb.
Jerry and Ardmore sat at long
table in the commodious Ardsley H.
brary. which was modification OF a
Gothic chapel. A large accumulation
of mail from the governors office at
Raleigh had been forwarded, and Jer-
ry insisted that 1t must be opened and
disposed Of In some way. Gov. Dan
gerfield was. 1t appeared. subscriber
to clipping bureau. and they had
been examining critically batch Of
cuttings relating to the New Orleans
incident.

Collins" observed Ardmore, putting
down clipping from New York
paper In which the reports of Gov.
Dangerfields disappearance were ana
lyzed and tersely dismissed; for he
knows how to write and he's done
splendid picture of your father on
his throne attending to business: and
his little stingers for Osborne are the
work of genius"

Collins lying that is refreshing" re-
piled Jerry. land cannot help think
ing that he has brilliant future be-
fore him II he enters politics. Moth
ing pains me more than careless,

best that most people can do. But 1t
would be very interesting to know
whether Gov. Osborne has really dis
appeared. or Just how your friend the
Virginia professor has seized the
reins of state. Do you suppose he got
jug from somewhere. and met Miss
Osborne and"
DO you think-do you think-she
may have-er possibly-closed one

The Crimea and the whole Black
sea region. owing to the sparse popu-

Sicily was yellow with wheat from

No wonder English surnames abound
In Ireland. since as far back as 1485

every Irishman whom 1t concerned to
take to him an English surname OF

San Francisco, June 18.-As a re

companies have been asked to can
