It helps the man who thus gives publicity to the ad vantages he offers the buyers, and it creates 'a favorable impression of a city by showing to all readers of the paper the live, wide-awake character of its business men. Ben Hamilton, a very observing New York business man. has the following interesting observations about newppaerH and the prac tical effects they produce in a com munity: Can you imagine for a minute what life would Ire without the newspaper? It goes into the home, and office, the factory, the shop, on the cars, on trains wherever you find human brings there will The bom never turned a hair. you find newspaers. "More than that, you will find the newspaper is read carefully, not only for the news of people and events that it gives each day, but for the interesting news of stores. "I have made many interesting experiments to satisfy myself as to jiiHt how a newepajer is read. . I know that other people have done this and I am pretty sure that the experience of every man who makes anv investigations alone this line will prove that the first wyomingj thing that is read in a paper put Untied in a small city is the news of a ersonal and purely local character.

JLuL we are purlieu ly interested in. "After the H'ronal information and local news is read, a woman may glance through to see what the big news events o the day are about that is just about as far as her interest goes. Then she reads the ads; if, indeed, she hasn't read them liefore. The ads. are to her just as interesting as any other part of the newspaper, and I suspect many times they are more interesting than most of the col umns of the average daily news paper. "The store news as given in the advertising columns is not only of interest to the thrifty, intelligent housewife, but it is absolutely an important part of her daily busi ness. She wants to keep posted on the newest things: also, she must keep informed as to the best places to buy the articles of mer chandise that she needs in conduct uig ner household. All this in formation she gets from the adver tising columns of the newspaper "No one need ever question the ability of the advertisement to get itaelf read. That's the easiest thing in the world Every adver tisement of fair size is sure to at tract some attention. If the ad well put together typographically, if the headlines are properly writ ten and properly displayed, and if the text matter is prepared with thought and attention; if in other words it is made interesting news, the ad. itself will be read with all the care that is needed. "After that everything depends on the message that the ad. car ries. If that message is one of in teres t to the woman, if it promises her a good piece of merchandise at a fair price, the chances are that she will buy that merchandise if she needs it. "There has been such an atnaos phere o! mystery and romance thrown around advertising that 1 think many people are often con fused by what is after all, one of the simplest propositions in busi ness. "A good store with good mer chandise can build up a good busi ness without advertising. If it adds to its other good things good advertising, it is sure to build up a biggt r business, to build it on a more solid foundation and to place it beyond the reach of compe tition." to rear, those most learned in the science of irrigation and practical irrigators, also men willing and anxious to learn. Among those who have come were men promi nent in all branches of business nd professional life, as well as those conspicuous in public life. "The congresses have educated the people on a subject about which but little was known 10 years ago, outside of the states and territories included in tbe arid regions of the United States. One who has been alive to the subject has marked the rapid change in public sentiment with reference to this great question. "That the next quarter of a cen tury shall, through irrigation, public and private, change the en tire country west of the 100th meridian and make places and homes for millions of people, is fact now conceded by all familiar with the subject. The results, I believe, will be equal to the doubling of the strength of the Nation. "1 am Bate in saying that the ir ngation works now being con structed will cost fully $100,000. 000, while the projects being con templated and being investigated for early initiation will cost hun dreds of millions. "The irrigation congress has done its full share of the good work, yet it has only commenced. Let those who shall constitute the congress always have in view the one question, 'now can they best promote and forward the recla mation of the arid regions of tbe United States?' Boise is an ideal place for the congress, lhe rapid development of ldaho'B agricultural interests through irrigation works, is a great obiect lesson. Seeing what is be inn done will remove the last doubt on this great subject among those who shall be bo fortunate as to attend the congress."

Millis, livestock agent for the Harriman lines, has been mak ing an investigation on the effect of the packing-house scandals on tbe market for Oregon cattle, says the Oregonian. He has found that the effect has not been noticeable, nor does he llieve it will be. I think much ado has been made about a small matter," said Mr. Millis. "I think the packing houses could have been controlled ith less public outcry. When the government puts its stamp up on meat it stands for quality, just the same as its stamp on tbe green back. I do not think the dis closures will have any permanent effect on the sale of packing-house products, as American goods are too good to be affected by senti ment or prejudice. People must have meat to eat, and tbe beet meat is that made from western cattle, fattened on eastern corn. "The demand for Oregon cattle has not fallen off in the least, and the agitation does not effect range cattle. Fat beeves now go from the Oregon ranges to the western markets, while only young cattle that will be fed for a year or two on the intermediate ranges are be ing sold in the east. Not a single trainload of heavy cattle has mov ed to the Chicago market this year, as the demand is too heavy for them in the west. Growers find it more profitable to turn off their young cattle for the eastern packing-houses, and the stock does not reach its destination for a year or so, as it is fattened in Montana, Colorado, Idaho and other states, By the time young cattle are ready next spring the present outcry will have been forgotten." Will Winter Lambs in Mallear. Getting Rid of Weeds. J. I. Carson, a well known sheep- drover, who is in the city from On tario, in this state, is preparing to winter 10,000 lambs in Malheu county says the. Telegram. He has been purchasing stock in East em Oregon counties the past spring and summer, and will provide hay enough to tide his flocks over the snowy periods by buying from the farmers around Ontario. He ex oects to shear his lambs in the spring, and then ship the animals to Nebraska to be fattened for tbe Chicago market. "But sheepmen are holding their stock too high to allow us drovers to make any money," he said, "and they must come down or we will have to go out of business. They want as much as $2.50 a head for little Merinos that wont dress over 30 pounds, and this doesn't allow us any margin. It costs us a whole lot of money to winter the sheep, and we are bound to lose more or less of them one way or another before we finally close them out. I look for a drop in the price of sheep soon as a result of low prices of wool." Mr. Carson is naturally a "bear" in the sheep market while he is buying, and he cannot reasonably be expected to talk any other way just now. By and by, when he gets all the lambs he wants it will be to his interest to talk like a "bull." At least this is the way the Oregon sheepraisers look upon the matter. People Ask Pardon For ColwelL Governor Chamberlain has re ceived a petition for a pardon for James Colwell, who was jointly in dicted with George S. Miller and Burt Bailey for killing Warren Curtis in Harney county March 22, 1902. Colwell was convicted of man slaughter and sentenced to the penitentiary for six years. The petition is headed by Tom Allen. former sheriff, most of the county officials and nearly all of tbe citi zens of Burns. Curtis was shot during an alter cation arming over the possession of some horses. The Minnesota agricultural ex periment station has issued a very instructive bulletin in response to numerous inquiries from farmers as to the best method of eradicat ing certain common weeds which have given the agriculturists a great deal of trouble. It is estimated by the station of ficials that weeds cause the loss of undreds of thousands of dollars annually to the farmers of Minne sota. These unwelcome intruders not only make it more expensive grow crops, bat they draw heavily upon the moisture and fer tility of the soil, and last, but not least, tbey reduce very materially the market value of the crop. The reports of the state grain in spection department are quoted to show that for two years the aver-. age' dockage of wheat at the ele vators is about 19 ounces per bush el. This dockvre is largely due to weeds. As tbe annual wheat crop of Minnesota is about 20j,000,000 bushels, a dockage of one pound per bushel means a loss of 200,- 000,000 pounds per year. The es timate of the grain inspection de partment would make it more than that. Had the land been free of weeds, says the bulletin, the same amount of plant food, moisture and labor would have produced over 3,000,- 000 bushels of wheat, or the equivalent in other grains. On this basis, weed 6 cost the Minne sota farmers about $2,500,000 an nually, or an annual rent of about 30 cents on every acre seeded to small grain. If to thin is added the cost of fighting weeds, the loss of fertility and moisture, strain on machinery, extra cost of twine to tie up the weeds, freight charges for shipping weed seeds, etc.. the loss is increased enormously, and the business man who would keep out of the bankruptcy court must figure cost of production and mark eting down to the smallest item in just this manner. The average dockage, however, does not fully cover tbe matter of loss. The bulletin cites one in stance in which the farmer was docked 23 pounds to the bushel, and another was docked 19 pounds to the bushel, both of them because of wild oats in their grains. This is a heavier tax than any business can stand and prosper. The bulletin describes the vari ous common weeds, which are di vided into three classes, annual, biennial and perennial, and then gives various methods of eradicat ing them. But nothing is so effec tive as a proper rotation of crops. system which provides for one or more years in cultivated crops and one or more grass crops on each field in five to seven years will clear the fields of most weeds, n crease the net income per acre and tend to increase the fertility ot the soil. Continuous growing of small grains in one held means weedy land; diversified farming means a disappearance of the weeds, less won and more prosperity for the farmer. J. C Hannan Killed. A runaway team on the Harvey ranch at Summer Lake last Satur day afternoon caused the death of John C. Hannan of Paisley. He and Rilew Hammersley were en gaged in running mowing ma chines and Hammersley's team be came unmanagable and got away from him. He shouted to Han nan but was not heard above the rattle of the machinery. His team ran into Hannon knocking him off ot the mower and trampling on his body. When picked up by the men in the field he remarked that he was done for and died at nine o'clock that evening, although but two bruised spots were found upon his person. Funeral services were held the next day and his remains laid at rest in the Paisley ceme tery. Deceased was a well respected citizen of Lake county, having lived in the county many years. He was several years road super visor in the Paisley district. He was born in Douglas county about 65 years ago and was one of the first white boys born in Oregou.- Central Oregonian.
