MOUSISO AS It EVES ISO PA I'EltS.
The superiority of the afternoon newspaper as a news
gatherer and a money maker over the niorniiig newspaper
has lK)i)ii often proved. Most of the news happens in the
day .and the difference in time leaves from two to four
hours in favor of the evening paper of the Paeifi ast
over those of the middle west and Atlantic states.
In a financial way, nine-tenths of the money makers of
the journalistic world are evening papers, not only in
cities of the east, hut in towns of hotli east and west. In
Oregon a number of the towns have both evening and
morning papers. In every instance, the evening paper
is the money maker of the two, only one or two of the morn
ing papers making expenses.
Some old established morning newspaper, like the New
York Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Portland Orogo
nian, the San Erancisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles
Times, are big money makers, but newly established morn
ing dailies are profitable in but few instances. Hearst
has never made his eastern morning newspapers pay,
though his evening papers are big money makers. Every
city with one successful morning paper, has two or throe
successful evening papers, and some of tliem, such as the
Chicago News anil Kansas City Star, are the money mak
ing marvels of the country.
Tin; advantages in a news way to coast afternoon papers
is set forth by the Sacramento Bee as follows:
"The two hours difference in time bet ween Sacramento
and Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Kansas
City, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Paul makes
it possible for the afternoon newspaper of this coast to
cover the events of these ureal cities two hours later than
the newspapers published in them.
"Dot ween Sacramento and that section east of the Al
legheny mountains New
Washington, Dallimore the dil Icrenee is one hour great
er, so that the eoasl; afternoon paper can cover up to (i
o'clock every day news events of interest in this great sec
tion. "After noon newspaper readers of the Pacific coasi
may receive every day all news of interest in that great
section east of Denver virtually two to three hours before it
happens in point of time.
"Hut so much for the news of the United States. Lei
us see what, advantages the afternoon newspaper of this
coast enjoys over newspapers published elsewhere. At
!! p. in. coast t ime the day is done and the evening perform
ances at the theaters are over in Loudon, Paris and Ma
drid ; it is midnight at Deri in, St. Petersburg, Vienna,
Home and Constantinople; another day is just dawning in
Manila, Hongkong, Pekin, Tokio, Melbourne and Sydney.
In the matter of news of the outside world then the coast
afternoon newspaper is able to handle exclusively all that
takes place between noon and midnight in all of Europe.
The morning coast paper must follow with an elaboration
of these events.
"Afternoon papers published the first news of the as
sassination of President MoKinlcy, the Slocuni disaster,
the explosion on the lieiiningtoii, the fall of Port Arthur,
the lro(iiois theater fire, the death of Pope Leo XIII, the
death of (ucen Victoria, the death of President Cleveland
and numbers id' other historical events.
" By the way, news of the fleet on its cruise around the
world furnishes an example of what this difference of time
means to newspaper readers of the Pacific coast."
.l.V VSCM.LF.It FOU ISSVLT.
"The man who is in business and doesn't advertise is
like the man who fell down a well and wouldn't shout. No
body knows w here you are and what you are doing."
This dirty, uncalled for and wanton insult to business
men of Medford appears in double column bold black type
in the Sunday Morning Mail. It is unuestionably the rank
est attempt at bulldozing ever put up at our merchants. It
says to the merchants of Medford who do not advertise
in that sheet t lint they have fallen into a hole and haven't
sense enough to get out. and that nobody knows about
them.
It is an attack upon the character, reputation and sta
bility of business men. As no one can live in a well, the
presumption is that they are dead and buried, for it ex
pressly stall's that nobody knows where they are or what
they are doing. But why should they shout f The Morning
Mail wouldn't print it, for the Mail doesn't print news
unless n is paid lor mat doesn t Happen as tne editors
want it to. And if it did print it. the. public still wouldn't
know it, for so few see the Mail.
Because the Morning Mail is not making a crowning
success financially and the whirligig of events is shaping
to write "iiuit" on the wall, is no reason whv the Mail in
its death throes should insult you because you did not see
fit to give it the support which the publisher might con
sider you could have given him. Advertising, like all oth
er, invest mcn(, is n matter of business, but in the Mail
it is a speculation, not an investment.

I'HKTLAXJ), August 17. Anticipa
tion fell short of the actual attendance
and success of the Oregon ood roads
conference held at the Portland Com
mercial club on the liith. I'rom every
corner of the state came men having
ihe vital interesln of Oregon at heart.
It was derided to immediately under
lake the raising of iIDhiO for an in
leiwely active campaign. Judge Lionel
K. Webster of Multnomah county and
Judge John II. Scott of Marion county
will bad in this work, devoting their
entire time to it.
Another convention of national Henpc
for Oregon next year is the welcome
nuw'H that comes back from De.s Moines,
la., wlnjre the American Association of
Mutual Insurance companies tins been
assembled. This means between GOO
and t'llO delegates, the majority of whom
have never visited the coast, since the
association has never held u western
meeting.
Kaiu was never more grateful to Ore
gnniaiiH than I lie showers of last Wed
nesday and Thursday, and messages
fr practically the whole state join
in the thanksgiving. The danger from
forest fires in the wooded sections lias
been greatly reduced as a result.
Kotir hundred thousand feet of lum
ber were bougnt by Swift & Co this
week for use on their townsite near
the plant now being built. Twenty five
dwellings will be started immediately,
some quite pretentious for the officers
of the company. Hundreds of smallci
homes will go up as rapidlv as practi
cable.
Numerous meet tngs of t he coin in it
tee in charge aof entertaining the Ore
gon athletes soon to return from London
bearing t heir world n-eords from the
Olympic games have resulted in a deci
sion to send t he sporting editors of
the three Portland dailies to the east
to meet Ihe athletes and escort them
to the coast. Many unique features will
be introduced in the parade and recep
tion given here. The date will be early
in September.
linn. C. J. Ittauchanl of the United
States reclamation service is in Oregon
and will spend ItO days inspecting the
various government irrigation projects.
He reports such a mass of inquiry at
his home office t hat t he clerks are
scarcely able to answer intending col
onists.
Poultry is to have its due recognition
at t he livestock show in September.
Over $oiKt in prizes is offered and the
interest, may be judged from Ihe fact
I hat already over 1000 eat ries are
booked. Poult ry means almost $".,0110,
into to Oregon annually.
