The lowest temperature this present

When Mark Twain was editing the
Virginia City Enterprise, writing copy
one liny and milling the next, lie tried
many wayn to drive home the fact that
"it. pays to advertise." One day he
reeeived a letter fro ma subscriber Hay
ing tint he had found a pirler pressed
between the pages of i!h paper. lie
wanted to know whether this signified
tood or bad
through the
cms column as follows:
"tild Subscriber. The finding of a
Hinder in your copy of the Enterprise
was mil her good hick nor bad. The
spider wn merely looking over our
pages lt find nut what, men-haul was
iid advertising in them, so that he
eotihl y in his web across the door and
h ad a I - ee and mill in urbed existence
fore vi r after. ' '
It is only by judicious advertising
t lint I he business mini can hope to
keep the .spider's Web otf his door.
There are t hose who say business is
lull now. "Wait until the spring trade
opens and tln-n I will advertise." Pro
crastination i" not only a thief of time,
but. it is a most lethal foe to business.
The spring iuhIi never comes to the
man who waits. If your business is
dull, make it better by careful adver
tising. The men who accomplish
things in I hi 4 world are the men who1
do it now.
When the successful business man
finds trade dull he makes use of his
time in thinking up a line of catehv
ads. If your business m not what, it
ought to be, try advertising it iH the

A CORRECTION.
(Hie of those inexplicable typograph
ical errors that freipiently niar the col
umns of a newspaper and make serious
articles absurd, occurred in yesterday's
Tribune, vheri a line was lost from
the nrlicle written by Hie ev. Ilcnter.
The article read:
"Now, Mr. Editor, I am a very busy
man and have no time to reply to a man
who writes a lot ol irrelevant mat
t'-r. I his was made to read
Mr. Editor, I am a very busy man who!
writes a ol of irrelevant matter."
For all of wliirh the Tribune humbly I
lipnlogi.. s. ' '
An Ordinance regulating and licens
ing the business of real estate agents
and brokers in t he ( ity of Medford,
)regon, and providing a penalty for
the violation thereof.
The People of the f'jty of Medford
do ordain as follows:
Section 1. It is hereby declared to
be unlawful for anv person to conduct.
j engage in or carry on the busim sof
la real estate agent or real estate bro
! Iter or solicitor within the Citv of
Medford, On 'gon, without first obtain
ing from the City Recorder of said city
a license so to do, nad paying to said
Recorder for such license t lie sum of :
fifty dollars ($.iii.uii) per vear in ad-1
vame.
Section L A real estate broker or
real i state agent, within I he meaning
of this ordinance, is defined to be one
who negot iates or solicits t he sale or
purchase of real property belonging to
! others for hire or commission or other
coiupensat ion.
Section 'A. Any person, convicted in
j t he Recorder 's court in said city, of
: viola t ing t he provisions of t his onli-
nance, or any of them, shall be pun
NoW, : .l,.!!.,. ..,. ( i i 'i

prosecution, and in default of payment
uf such line or costs, or both, shall be
i in prison -d in t !n city jail one day
man lines in this territory, not a de
tail lia- been overlooked to make every
arrangement compleh for tli;- pleas
ure of the Southern Pacific's guests.
Many t hi tigs that t he passenger
would never think of have been oro
end onvided by the companv. Outside of the
entertainment to be offered the excur
sionists at every point on their long
journey, the appointments of the train
are such that royalty itself could not
excel it in luxury.
The value of the palatial Pullman
cars that will carry the excursion is
very large. They are of the must mod
ern and comfortable pattern. The
money value represented by the train
of cars is over $L'ilj,iJfm. Fare for
the trip will cost the travelers $UU,
ii, but it is estimated they will spend
outside of this figure on the average
floii each while away, making $3I,immi
additional. The special telephone sys
tem installed in the (rain for the con
venience of passengers represents a
value of $.-)0(. There will be a $1(100
automat ic piano on board. These fig
arcs do not include the wages of the
i peopie on oonni i no j ram, whose
only duty it will be to look after the
comfort of the guests of the Southern
Pacific, nor the engine crews that will
haul the train on its way outh. Find
for the locomotives and cost of oper
ation are not included in the above fig
ures, so that the amount of money rep
resented in t his excursion from Spo
hane to Eos Angeles will total an enor
mous su.
There will be 'Jim i excursionists, and
from the first city they reach on their
way until they arrive at the most south
erly point on the trip they will be of
feivd hospitality by the people. Port
land proposes to be the first to extend (the residence of h
