J JN!ONTkBEL CON TI X 10 US A D V E RTISI XG. To insure the greatest results one must advertise right The methods, mediums, space, etc., must be correct' in every detail, or the largest results will not be obtained. It is, therefore, false economy to use poor and careless methods, improper mediums, insuffi cient 'or superfluous space, inferior circulars or other printed matter. Even if read the cheap circular creates in the mind of the reader a feeling of distrust towards the house which attempts to economize by the use of such liter ature. Another kind of false economy is the irregular, in termittent advertising practiced so much by a cer tain proportion of retailers and others. You place an ad in the paper. A reader sees it reads it through is favorably impressed thinks he will send for the article advertised or he decides to "call in and get one next time I'm down town" but not just then. Perhaps he forgets about it and If he never Bees our name in the paper again, chances are he will never be reminded about it again. "The" stores in any town are the stores which ad vertise the most regularly in the newspapers. The proper kind of advertising will build up any business bo that it will become one of "The" stores the repre sentative store in the trade. Advertising to be successful, must be continuous. One big ad, inserted once or only occasionally, will not take the placrof an ordinary ad, published regu larly. Might as well think of eating one huge meal a week instead of the three regulars every day. You'd feel starved moBt of the time, and so the business which is represented by an occasional large ad, or even an occasional small one, is simply starved in be tween times. A small ad appearing regularly is worth much more TEN COMMANDMENTS. The following set of commandment are going the rounds of the press: I. Thou shalt not go away from home to Jo thy read ing, nor thy son, nor thy daughter. II. Thou shalt do whatever lieth in thy power to en courage and promote the welfare of thine own city and thine own people. III. Thou shalt spend thine earnings at home, that they may return from whence they came, and give nour ishment to such as come after thee IV. Thou shalt patronize thy homo merchant and thy home printer, for yea, verily, doth not thy home spread over '.he land tidings of thy gwdness and greatness that the people shall patronize thee. V. Thou shalt not ask the printer to take less than his price. Remember by asking him to retreat from his nrice thou interest that he is a robber. If be hath not dignity thou will get done by him somehow. J VI. Thou shalt not ask for credit, for goods cost much money, and the merchant's brain . is burdened with bills. His children clamor daily for bread, and his wife abideth at home for lack of sufficient raiment as adorneth her sister. Blessed, yea, thri'.'u blessed is the man that pays cash. VII. Thou shall not suffer tlie voice of pride to overcome thee and if other towns entice thee consent thou not for thou mayest be deceived. Remember the fate of the calf that left its mother and followed a steer away from homo and lost its supper. VIII. Thou shalt 'not ask for reduced prices or thy "in fluence" for gitts is in thine heart and the merchant rendeth it like an open book. He laugheth thee to scorn and shouteth to his clerks, "ha ! ha!"' IX. Thou shalt not ask the printer to take two dollars for a three dollar-job because some other printer will do it for less money. The other printer may steal his stock and underpay his help. If thou trade with such as he thou art an accessor to the crime. X. Thou shall not bear false witness against the city wherein thou dwellest, but speak of it to all men, that thy home city and its people may bo proud of thee. Encol raoemest sohuld be extended to the Women's Club of Oregon City, which has inaugurated a move ment to erect a monument to Dr. John McLouglin. That Dr. Mclaughlin's memory is deserving of per petuation no one disputes. No other individual ever lived in this section whose value to the country was greater than his. McLoughlin's is a figure which than the same amount of space concentrated into one ' stands out pre-eminent when one glances through the big ad for one issue. The public has a short memory ; pages of the early history of the Oregon country. Yes for things advertised there are so many of them. It is soon forgotten and its usefulness gone. The smaller ad may not attract so much attention at first, but if persisted in day after day, and week after week, the more permanent results will follow. The name of the firm and the character of the store and its offerings, become well fixed in the minds of the public, and the result will finally come. Successful advertising means persistent advertising. From the Canadian Grocer. SENATOR WILL ADVOCATE A NICARAGUAN CANAL. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, expects as soon as congress meets in extra session to resume his argu ment in favor of the digging of a Nicaraguan canal. It is expected that the house will consume a good deal of time in getting organized,and while this is going on the senate will have nothing to do but listen to Mr. Morgan. We have no figures at hand to show just how many hours Mr. Morgan has devoted in the past to the pleasing task of informing his fellow senators and the public of the advantages of the Nicaraguan route for an isthmian canal, and 'people who started out in the glad flush of youth to keep track of the number of words employed by the senator in favor of a Nicaraguan canal have either died of exhaustion or been lured to more profitable things. Still Mr. Morgan doubtless has much to say that he thinks will be important in connection with the pro posed canal. He has been resting himself during the past summer and will return to Washington bulging with enthusiasm and earnest words. It i3 safe to say that he has many times said everything that could be said in favor of the Nicaraguan route, but the gen tleman is peculiar in that he never hesitates to say a thing merely because it has been said forty or fitty times before. The Washington dispatch which informs ub that Mr. Morgan iB likely to express his personal views at great length will be gladly read by his fellow senators, especially those among them who are looking for ward to a chance to catch up on sleep and who at the same time have conscientious scruples against neglect ing their duties as public servants. Exchange. William Jennings Bryan, while twice denied his ambition of becoming president, has been disappointed in getting a legacy of $50,000 left him by the late Mr. Bennett. It appears that the Nebraskan will fail to get at one time the amount of money equivalent to a year's salary as president. Surely Mr. Bryan is playing in hard luck. this man is justly entitled to a monument, but let it be one also worthy of the man. No insignificant cheap shaft is adequate. It must be impressive and striking, thereby resembling the character of Oregon's first grand old man. Telegram.

Without funds it may become necessary in many districts to curtail if not entirely abandon the schools, while road construction and im provement work will be seriously interfered with. Present indications are that a special session cannot be well avoided without great loss to the city, county and state. Governor Chamberlain's published plan to secure from the members of the legislature pledges to the ef fect that they will consider no other legislation save that of remedying the defect in the tax law, before he will consent to convene the state's law maker's, is not very generally, endorsed by the legislators themselves. The members of the Clackamas county delegation re sent the implied insult of the governor in stating in an interview that he questioned which would result in the greater harm to the state, present conditions or a special session of the legislature, especially Bince the chief executive himself is equally to blame with the legislature for the condition that makes nec essary the holding of an extra session. It is the gen eral opinion in this locality that while the session should be a short one, it is up to the members of the two houses to determine whether or not other state laws require attention at this time. The busi ness of the special session need not necessarily be re stricted to tax legislation. Prominent attorneys of the state question the validity of the statute author izing county clerks and county recorders to collect fees for the recording of instruments, since it is claimed this law was inadvertently repealed at the session of 1895. The fees collected from this source represent many thousands of dollars annually, and doubt as to the validity and operation of the law should be immediately removed. Clackamas county annually receives from thw source about 13000. licai'li (rum all axrtimia, an.
