THE LITTLE Boston once had a
DROP OF INK dreadful time with
its saloons because of the uncertainty
of a comma in the ordinance govern
ing such places. It depended upon
the comma whether the law was to be
construed as declaring whether or
not the saloons should close at eleven
o'clock o' nights. Commas are im
portant things, even more important
than periods but periods are import
ant enough.
For instance, some days ago The
Enterprise made a few remarks about
the island park that had been donated
to the city of Gladstone through the
generosity of General Manager Mc
Bain and the Willamette Fulp & Pa
per company. This park, as a matter
of fact, is 2.4 acres in area. Lack of
the little black dot in the designation
of the area made The Enterprise say
that the park was 24 acres in area.
Since that announcement was made,
Gladstone officals have been asked by
many people where the 24-acre.:.'park
was. Some people have evenvwaniefl
to know if the flow of the Clackamas
river had been stopped by - such a
large body of land.
Gladstone new park is two . and
four-tenth acres in area. The Enter
prise is sorry that the period, or
decimal point, went astray, but such
things will happen at times in even
the best regulated print shop. Tlie
chief regret of this paper, however, is
that Gladstone hasn't got a 24-acre
park. Such a park would be fine for
Gladstone, or any other city. How
ever, in its absence, perhaps a 2.4
acre park will do. Two and four
tenths acres of recreation space, add
ed to what Gladstone already has, is
well worth congratulation; and The
Enterprise is only sorry that the deci
mal point had to go in the figures:
Perhaps someday, through the further
generosity of her citizens, Gladstone
will really have a 24-acre park.
THE ELEVATOR The city council
AND ITS COST has authorized the
mayor and recorder to enter into a
contract for the construction of a
municipal elevator at Seventh street
for the sum of $11,980; and some peo
ple are satisfied, while others are see
ing visions of trouble and litigation.
Those who do not like the trend af
fairs have taken declare that as the
actual cost of the elevator itself is so
near tae appropriation made by a
bond issue for this purpose that
there will be difficulty in getting
money, legally, for the extra costs in

connection with the work, such as
providing a street to the upper land
ing, providing water mains to furnish
water for the hydraulic machinery,
and such matters.
The council, in authorizing the let
ting of the contract, was of the
opinion that these other charges could
be met from the general fund. Legal
opinion on the matter seems to con
cur in this view, though there are
those who thing all the elevator costs
ought to he met by the bond issue.
Viewed from the common sense stand
point, the council seems to be in the
right. When a man buys a gun he
has to buy ammunition to use with it,
yet he does not expect the cost of
the gun to .cover the cost of the am
munition. When he buys an automo
bile he also has to purchase gasoline
with which to make it run, yet no- j
body demands that gasoline be in
cluded in the equipment of an auto
mobile. And so with the elevator
The city is buying an elevator equip
ment; and it seems hardly fair to say
that this equipment should also in
clude streets leading to it, water car
rying water to it. and the water it
self to operate it.
Were the city to buy a tract for a
public playground, it would buy the
tract. Later it would expect to pur
chase, as an additional expense,
swings, ladders, parallel bars, benches
and drinking fountains for the play
ground. It would be foolish to expect
these things to come with the area
bought for playground purposes; and
.Sfl it "is foolish to expect the cost of
an. elevator to include all the various
appurtenances and outside necessities
to:make it serviceable. Bearing this
in mind,-, those who fear disaster will
follow the council's action should
cheer up.
TIMBER CRUISES It is .interesting
AND TAXATION to note that here
tofore Clackamas county has accept
ed $48,900 as the valuation of a part
of the Weyerhauser timber holdings
in this county, this estimate having
been based upon a cruise alleged to
have been made by the big timber
company, and furnished the county
free of charge. The county now is
cruising these holdings itself at ati
expense of eight cents an acre; and
has found that the portion formerly
valued at $48,900 contains timber of
the actual value of $241,315. The dif-
erence in these estimates is a matter
of some $192,415; and the 16-mill tax
on this difference will amount to $3 -
078.64. Subtracting from this the
cost of the cruise for this portion of
the timberland $590.80 the county
is the net gainer by $2,487.84.
This is some gain, especially as it
is only upon about a third of the total
Weyerhauser holdings. It rather sets
at naught the objections made to the
county cruise, and not only shows
that the cruise is self-supporting, but
indicates that it will he extremely
profitable. .
It is well to bear in mind that this
county cruise is one of the things that
ths disgruntled folk back of the abor
tive recall were complaining about. It

MORNING ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, JUNE
is a strange breed of public spirited
ness that objects to the county obtain
ing a just and at the same time ex
tremely profitable assessment of its
timber. In fact there is room for sus
picion, in view of the findings, that
perhaps the objection may not have
been entirely disinterested.

Earl of Carnarvon.
George Edward Stanhope Molyneux
H-erb, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, was
born June 26, 1866, the son of tha
fourth Earl, who was secretary of
state for the colonies under Disreali,
and was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
in Lord Salisbury's first administra

at Cambridge University and succeed
ed to his title in 1890. He has taken
no part in politics, but is a good deal
devoted to sport. He has traveled in

paid several long visits to Canada
and the United States. Lady Carnar
von is celebrated for her beauty and
is a great favorite in London society
Lord Carnarvon is immensely rich.
Among his possessions is Highcler"

and had no adologies to make, Coun
cilman Beard neatly put the matter
under three headings for final consid
eration, saying that the ' councilmen
ought to ask themselves whether or
not the people wanted the elevator,
where they wanted it, and whether
the city would get its money's worth
out of the elevator when it was built
built. .
Vote was then called for, and the
members present lined up as follows:
Aye Albright, Beard, Holman, Long,
Metzler, Meyer; no Horton.
Mr. Tooze asked to be excused from
voting. The mayor said he would ex
cuse him if there were no objections.
Councilman Meyer jumped to his feet
and said that he had been in the
council six and a half years, and had
never dogsd a vote or an issue. Oth
ers called upon Mr. Tooze to vote, and
the mayor insisted that his ballot be
recorded. -
"Of course 1 vote 'yes,'" said Mr.
Tooze.
It was then voted to order a war
rant for $99.99 in favor of the Hur
ley Mason company for preliminary
work they had done in profiling the
elevator site. The firm's bill was
$100, but this "would have required an
ordinance, so the council got as near
to the figure as possible.

The Way to
Succeed
Paraphrasing the words of
Horace Greeley, . "The way to
succeed is to advertise." There
is scarely a notable commercial
success that has not been built
upon the solid foundation of ad
vertising, and, likewise, practi
cally all good, clean, honest bus
iness that advertises legitimate
ly is successful.
Whenever you see a manufac
turer co-operating with the re
tailers of this city or a group of
cities or of. all the cities in tha
United States in an advertising
campaign on behalf of his mer
chandise you may safely make
up your mind to three things
First, the merchandise has
merit.
Second, both the manufacturer
and the merchant are progres
sive, dependable people ..with
whom to do business.
Third, they are successful and
merit your confidence and pat
ronage. Manufacturers are beginning
to understand that the only way
to create actual, "over-the-counter"
demand for a product is to
advertise it locally in daily
newspapers. '

TE MAN THAT SEES.
Success is not always or often won
by Oiling big and brilliant things. It is
achieved by seeing and doing the little
things
Tin man who is looking alone for
spectacular effects may fail to observe
the smaller details, which, if taken
together, amount to more than the
large stunt be is trying to pull off.
It is the chap with the microscopic
eye 'who overlooks nothing, cuts every
possible corner, however small, and
seeks in. the minute ways to improve
hisjmsiness who comes in winner.
About each of us are a thousand un
improved opportunities which are over
looked because they seem too little to
bother with. Yet if added together,
they constitute the difference between
success and failure.'
Most big businesses, if legitimate, are
run on a narrow margin of profit
Taken on each individual item the
amount seems insignificant In the ag
gregate it foots up millions.
Most successful men might have
trouble in giving you the general rule
by following which they have come out
ahead of the game. Their story, if
told, would be one of a multitude of
details, the seizing of small opportuni
ties that other men overlook.'
Tennyson was the greatest poet of
the last generation. One of the secrets
of his greatness lay in his artistic
finish. He took infinite pains in polish
ing his work, spending .hours often
over one word. .
The great paintings are made up of
minute detail." Leonardo da Vinci
spent four yeai-s on "Mona Usa" and
then pronounced it junfinisned.
The detailmay seem prosaic; yet
they are anything but prosaic if our
hearts are in'oiar work. Atfd real suc
cess never comes without the mastery
of details .:
The man who follows a routine that
some one else has mapped out will
always be doomed to routine. It is
the one' who thinks all around and be
hind his work, who finds new and bet
ter methods of doing things, who may
hope to escape routine for the bigger
things
Rut he will never do the bigger
thinss until he does the little things
until he observes and takes advantage
of the minor opportunities.
