An exchange pertinently remarks: "If
your business is not worth advertising,
adverise it for sale. A merchant who
is not willing to exploit in print what he
has in the way of goods and bargains and
why he expects the public to call upon
him, is logically supposed to have little or
no reason to expect trade."

Popular prejudice formerly branded the
promoter as a pirate. But what would !
the west be without him. Let history
call him what it may, in truth we know
him as a promoter. Wnirever progress
has been, there also has been risk, specu
lation and promotion. Tne west his been
developed by greed of gain. It is the
hope of reward that incited progress. The
promoter is the p onear and, like a mouse
in the milk, he hustles till he floats on a
cake of butter of his own making. Study the
progress of Oregon and learn a proper
respect for the speculator, the pioneer and
the exploiter, the man who promotes,
organizes and deve'.opes. The man who
seeks and sees, and seizes opportunity.
