13 THE MORXIXG OREGOSTAX, SATTjKDAY. JTTXE 22, 1907. DISCUSS METHODS OF ADVERTISING Experts in Publicity Work Ad dress Oregon Develop ment League. HOW BENTON COUNTY WON B. W. Johnson's Paper Tells Story or "Boosting" Campaign All Old Officers Are Re-elected Tom Richardson Will Resign. Practical result-getting advertising was the theme of most of the addresses de livered before the convention of Oregon's prcsent-dny state builders the Oregon Development League at the Marquam Theater yesterday. Watered stock en thusiasm of the hot-air brand 'nad no place on the programme, which was de voted to a discussion of the best methods of building up the Beaver state by en couraging immigration from other sec tions. These talks were given by men who, have succeeded in attaining good results by practical methods in t'neir respective localities. It was decided by the delegates in attendance to take con certed action to get the best possible results for the entire state by taking every advantage of the colonist rates which are offered by the railroad com panies each year. The league will conclude its third an nual convention with an informal con ference of the delegates, who number between 500 and 600, at the Commercial Club rooms this morning. This meeting will be presided over by A. Bennett, of The Dalles, one of the vice-presidents of the league. Last night the delegates were guests at an organ recital given by Kdgar Coursen at the Flr3t Presbyterian I'humh. Other than the Instrumental selections, the programme Included vocal numbers by Mrs. Fletcher Linn. Mr. Dom Zan and other leading singers. Tom Richardson, the energetic secre tary of the league, sprang a surprise on the convention by announcing that at the close of the year he would retire from thA work of exploitation he has so successfully waged, to engage in private business. Consistent with Ills advocacy of Oregon and its possibilities, Mr. Rich ardson will cast his lot with the Beaver state. Mr. Richardson for about three years has been manager of the Com mercial Club and has had charge of its publicity work. All Officers Re-clccted. The officers of the league, elected a year ago. all were re-elected by acclama tion. They represent an equitable dis tribution of representative Oregon "boost ers" from every section of the state and H was generally agreed that an improve ment could not be made in the official board of directors. 13. L. Smith, of Hood River, vice-president of the league, officiated as presid ing officer at yesterday's session. The address of welcome was made by Gov ernor Chamberlain. He spoke of the im portance of the work of the league -and the need of holding annual conventions which are so conducive to concerted action by .all sections In a general move ment to promote the state's interests. He referred to the extensive area of undeveloped land in the state and com mented on the need for practical adver tising by commercial organizations. Vice-President Smith, after paying a tribute to the pioneers who had redeemed the state from the wilderness, advocated a greater agricultural development. C. C. Chapman in discussing "The Advertising That Gets Results," championed the con servative and careful use of printer's Ink In building up the state's population and In adding to its wealth. Secretary Richardson's annual report disrlosed an empty treasury with no obligations. He explained that every cent that had been raised for exploiting the state and its resources, had been ex pended in what was considered the most practical way. Tn addressing the con vention lie especially urged that the com mercial organizations of the state widely advertise the colonist rates and In that way attract the greatest possible im migration to this state, lie said that the state had not been getting the results It should receive from these liberal rates. "Astoria's Advertising Methods," were detailed by John H. Evans, manager of the Chamber of Commerce of that city. It was an able discussion of the advertis ing subject, supported by a recital of the results Aftorla Is realizing. Others of the Speakers. Other brief addresses were made by Trter Loggie, president of the North Fend Chamber of Commerce; R. L. Nell!, of Sumpter; Walter T.. Tooze, of Wood burn: George T. Baldwin, of Klamath Falls; A. Bennett, of The Palles; W. W. 'Wiley, of Tillamook, and George J. Terklns. secretary of the Bt. John Com mercial Club. One of the most profitable papers of the meeting was that prepared by -B. W. Johnson, president of the Benton County Citizens League. Mr. Johnson was un able to attend the league and the paper was read by A. Bennett. It follows: T have heen anked to tell this convention how tt happened that the Benton County "ltlren league rcelved more replies from lea edverttnlng than any other organization In the state. The firswer In brief Is: Our advertisements K-era judiciously placed and at the proper time. An our results were an very satisfactory It may be interesting and fro'fl table to this convention to know the methods that were adopted by our organ ization. In the Spring of IPOS, the year of the Lew Is and Clark Exposition, we applied to the County Court for funds with which to advertise and secured $150 for that pur pose. This money wa spent in placing ad vertisements in the class! tied columns of farm Journals and other weeklies that were circulated anions: the rural communities in the states of Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. Min nesota. Wisconsin, Crth and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. This field was regarded as the most profitable on tn which to advertise our section of the state. The advertisement was aet up and printed at home and these printed mpies sent to Lord A Thomas, with whom we placed the advertising. In order that we mtftht get them set up with the wonJ "Oregon" printed in black-face type. The advertisement read: "Oregon. Don't Frees. Don't Roast. Don't Hlow Away, but come to Benton county Oregon, where you&can prosper and enjoy life. The best fruit, dairy and agri cultural section. For printed descriptive matter write Secretary Penton County Citi zens' League. CorvalHs. Oregon " Brought In 1300 Answers. This advertisement took up apout one ValMnch space slnpcle column set in non pareil. It ran through the months of May and J une. 1905, and from It we received shout 1500 replies. The first of January. liWHt. w expended $1M more in the same manner and received from It about 2MH re plies. From other aourcea directly and in directly, on account of the advertising, we received several hundred other names of people Interested In Oregon and altogether at this time have a list of approximately 6000 names. - To each person who answered our adver tisement was sent a personal letter and also a printed descriptive pamphlet of Ben ton County, and by the way, we have ths neatest, best Illustrated and most compre hensive booklet that I bave ever seen. In our correspondence with these Eastern peo ple we Impressed them with the Idea that the Benton County Citizens' League la an organization of business men whose object Is the advancement of the county, and that we are not in the real estate business, and aa an organization hare nothing to sell; that our prime object is to disseminate re liable Information concerning the resources and advantages of this county. As fast aa the letters were received in response to our advertisements lists of the names were made up and turned over to the local real estate men and they mailed their catalogues of 'Lands for .Sale" to each of the 6000 pe-rsons whose names the league had secured. During the past two years this mode of advertising has been supple men ted by "write-ups" of the county in local and other publications having an Eastern circulation, and from such "write ups" we have received quite a number of Inquiries. But from the expenditure of $3O0 In Eastern advertising we had between 3000 and 4000 direct responses. Results Were Marvelous. From" my information the results of this advertising were phenomenal. These re plies cost only from 6c to 10c each and when you consider that we were advertising for people to come to Benton County and locate and Invest from $500 to $20,000, the cost of these replies was exceedingly small. We not only got responses to our ad vertisements' but we got the men to come to this county and locate, and the tangible results of this advertising are quite as phe nomenal as ths fact that we have received 3000 or 4000 replies from an expenditure of $300- We absolutely know of a number of heads of families who came here as a direct result of our advertising- and settled in this county. Directly and indirectly as a result of this advertising we estimate that there has been added to our population during the last two- years 750 persona and they have Invested in Benton County real estate the sum of $600,000- Outslde of the cost of printed matter sent East the actual cost to the league for post age, typewriting and advertising; waa about $000. This, however, does not Include any pay for the officers of the league who gave their personal attention to the correspond ence and mailing of printed matter and for which no remuneration was expected or re ceived. I can assure you that the officers were not idle and that the services they performed, if paid for, would have amount ed to several hundred dollars. How to Conduct Campaign. T have no doubt that our experience bas been similar to that of other commercial or ganizations In that the officers- of the league have not had ths financial support necessary to make the advertising aa suc cessful as It might have been. I have on two or three occasions outlined an adver lsting campaign but have never had suf ficient funds to carry It out. To obtain the best results I would suggest a plan for a period of 12 months to cost $700 to $1000. $250 to be expended In advertising in the classified columns of papers having; a cir culation among the particular class of peo ple that you desire to reach. With ut, we were particularly anxious to reach, those engaged in farming, dairying and stock raising, while some sections of the state might be anxious to reach persons engaged in mining or manufacturing-. The class that is generally desired throughout the state Is persons engaged in farmtng. Build up the rural communities and the towns will take care of themselves. W rite a personal letter to every person who responds to your advertisement and follow tt up every month with a personal letter until you finally get him Interested. Sup plement this from time to time with spe cial editions of your local papers giving brief "write-ups" of your county and Its in dustries. Carrying out this plan properly and to get the best results for postage, typewriting and other expenses Incident to the campaign, it would probably take from $500 to $750. When you consider that every family you locate In- the county will contribute from $500 to $1000 annually for living expenses, to say nothing of his ex penditure for farm machinery and other equipment for hla farm. It ought not to be difficult to get any live county in the state to contribute such a eum annually for Judicious advertising. Taxpayers Ar Benefited. Every additional dollar invested in the county affords a source of revenue to the county or city in the way of additional taxes, so that It la a good Investment for the taxpayers to assist In attracting out siders to locate and invest within its bor ders. Py the Joint effort of the business men and County Court an advertising fund of $500 to $1000 might be raised in every county In Oregon without its being a burden on anyone. Some counties might raise more, but from our experience I believe that $1000 annually can be spent to splendid advantage by every county in the state. The suggestion of mine in conjunction with this expenditure contemplates reaching these people in the East through advertise ments In classified columns of farm papers. Every week, however, some fellow comes along with an advertising scheme and will undertake to get your commercial organiza tion Interested. While some of these have some merit, none of them that I have In vestigated will give you the results that I have outlined above. During the past two years more than 200 new residences have been erected In Cor valHs. and several new business blocks have been built to care for the growing business of this wide-awake, growing town. The business men are carrying larger stocks and doing a much larger volume of business than before. The postal receipts have shown an increase of about .10 per cent and much of this prosperity can be traced to ths Judicious advertising done by the Benton County Citizens League. DEEDS AS WELX AS WORDS Sumpter "Boosters" Give Practical Example of Their Work. Deeds as well as words characterize the work of the Sumpter District Develop ment League, as is evidenced by the fol lowing teleRram, which was received yes terday by R. L. Nelll, of Sumpter. presi dent of the League, who is in Portland attending the sessions of the Oregon De velopment League: "Sumpter Development League offers $10,000 towards building electric railroad from Sumptor to Bourne. "GEORGE E. ALLEN", Secretary." This proposed road is considered of great Importance to the further develop ment f the mineral properties In Eastern Oregon and with the generous support that Is being pledged, its construction Is believed to be assured. MAY KNOW OF THE MURDER Two Italians Arrested in Connection W ith Rosenheimer Case. NEW YORK, June 21. Two Italian laborers, John Monita and Nicola. Car dona, were arrested on a Third avenue elevated train at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street early thus morning by David Wynn. a New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad detective, in the belief that they knew something about the murder of Julius Rosen heimer, the Chicago needle manufac turer, which occurred on the grounds of his home at Pelham Tuesday night. They were locked up. Wynn, who speaks Italian well, over heard the prisoner's telling on the train about the murder. Both Italians said when arrested that they did not know anything about the crime. The two tramps arrested Wednes day night have been released. Almost everyone in- Pelham Is helping the authorities on the case and there Is considerable rivalry for the $5000 re ward offered by the Rosenheimer family. Play Illuminated Baseball. Railroad office men will give an ex hibition of illuminated baseball on Mult nomah field tonight, the contesting teams consisting of the representatives of the freight and passenger departments in Spokane and Portland. Fred S. Tristram, of Chicago, will be the umpire, and John O'Grady will keep track of the score If It does not get too large. Everything Is expected to be run on schedule time and no rebates will be allowed. The score card Is made ulargely of railroad terms instead of the usual abbreviations used in the national game. 38EB FOB 8CKX1C PHOTOS. Imperial Hotel Also Kodak Developing. BETRAYED BY KISS M LIPS OF DEAD Mrs. C. H. Reynolds Reveals Guilty Secret in Presence of Lover's Corpse. - MAKES FULL CONFESSION Tells Coroner's Jury Every Detail of Her Intrigue With Professor George H. Herbert, Whom Her Husband Killed. Lulu M. Reynolds, wife of C. H. Rey nolds, the slayer of Professor George H. Herbert, betrayed herself by a kiss Thursday evening when she viewed the corpse of the musician who was shot and fatally wounded at her home Wednesday. Unable to conceal the love she bore Herbert, she cast her self upon his lifeless body and kissed his cold lips passionately. Realizing then that she had laid bare the. secret of the tragedy, she made a complete confession yesterday before a Coro ner's Jury, denying the ante-mortem statement of Herbert, who had lied with his last breath to shield her name. She also retracted the statement she made to District Attorney Manning to the effect that she had known Her bert but a short time, and that there had been no intimacy between them. Her testimony was given voluntarily, and after a brief deliberation the Cor oner's jury rendered a colorless ver dict that George H. Herbert met his death by a gunshot wound at the bands of C. H. Reynolds. Two letters from Mrs. Reynolds were found in Herbert's coat-pockets after his 'death. They bear witness to the fact that the woman's confession is not a trick to save her husband from the gallows or the penitentiary. One of the missives is a passionate love letter. The other unfolds the plan Mrs. Reynolds and Herbert later adopted to hide their guilty secret from Reynolds. This letter shows that Mrs. Reynolds had rented a room for Herbert in the Lincoln lodging-house, near her own home, because of its proximity and its side entrance, and she confessed she had visited the room frequently. A deed was also found In Herbert's coat-pocket showing that he had conveyed to himself, under the name of Hibbins, a piece of property in San Dlcgo. This was done, Mrs. Reynolds confessed. to permit the property to be transferred to her later without exciting her husband's sus picions. The letters and the deed are In the possession of Coroner Finley, who will turn them oyer to the state when Reynolds is brought to trial. Wife Visits the Jail. Heavily veiled and weeping, Mrs. Reynolds visited her husband at the County Jail yesterday. They con versed for several minutes. 'Her hus band's parting words to her were: "I am not afraid; all I want you to do is to tell the truth." Half an hour later Mrs. Reynolds was on the witness-stand, testifying before the Coroner's Jury. At first the Jury was willing to render its verdict simply on the testimony of Dr. Tilzer and two police- officers. District At torney Adams objected to Mrs. Rey nolds testifying, and Coroner Finley sustained the objection. But Charles Schnabel. Reynolds' . lawyer. insisted on the woman's testifying, she being the only eye-witness to the tragedy. The Jury had no objections, and Mrs. Reynolds declared it was her desire to testify. Therefore she was allowed to take the stand. The woman soon overcame her ner vousness and devoted five minutes to tell ing how the shooting of Herbert occurred. 9'ne said she did not notice much, owing to her excitement at the time. She was then asked by Attorney Schnabel to tell her story in her own words and in her own way. 8he did so, beginning with her first meeting with Herbert, and ending with the kiss she pressed on his lips cold In death. Fol lowing is the substance of her confession. Substance of Confession. "What I say now is God's truth. What I said to the District Attorney was false, as I believed Mr. Herbert would live. I loved George Herbert. We had known each other for more than a year and had been intimate for several months, lie gave me a large diamond ring that I was afraid to wear, and in return I gave him a pin. which is now being repaired In a Jewelry store on Morrison street. Mr. Herbert had asked me to marry him. and I had promised to be oome his wife. We Intended to go to gether to Chicago, where he was to ob tain a divorce from his wife and I one from my husband. "Until we could get away and leave for the East I obtained a room .for him at the Lincoln and I passed every after noon with him after his arrival here from Walla Walla last Friday until the shoot ins. T had a key to the room and kept a few hairpins there. Mr. Herbert passed last Tuesday afternoon with. me and my husband's son told him about It. That caused the shooting. Mr. Herbert gave his ante-mortem statement to shield me. His statement was false, as was mine to the District Attorney." A. B. Shelton. a druggist of Walla Walla, and one of Herbert's close friends, arrived in Portland yesterday and will apply -for letters of administration of Herbert's estate. He says that Herbert leaves a house and lot in Walla Walla valued at $2000. but Portland acquaint ances of the musician say the property belongs to Herbert's wife, who plays in a woman's orchestra in Seattle. Professor Herbert was in Portland on a vacation from the De La Salle Insti tute In Walla Walla, where he was in structor in music. He intended to re turn there in September.

The chief cause of Constipation and Indigestion is a weakness of ths Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels. Cascarets are practically to the Bowel Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath are to the Athletic Muscles. They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges tive Juices out of food eaten.
