BUSINESS Nowadays advertising has become as much of a science as
ADVERTISING many of the other problems of modern business. It has
come to the point when trained advertisement writers are employed at practi
cally all of the business houses of large monthly standings in the country.
The man with big business has one to handle nothing but the stories that
he wants the people to read about his business affairs He tells that story in
the most clear .and concise way. He talks to the peop through the news
paper as he would talk to a member of his. own family. He tells them a
story. That story means something to him. It should mean something to
every person who reads it.
Many advertisers are so original in their ways of doing business that they
stir an interest among the readers of certain magazines and papers "just to
see what they will say next." That curiosity is the best compliment, the
most sincere flattery that can be paid to an ad wTriter. It shows that the
people are interested in what he has to say. It indicates the power of the ads
that he writes.
It, among other things, shows that he can tell what he has to say and
that he is not afraid to say it. If a business man believes that he has the
goods that the people want, he ought to come to the front with that infor
mation and let the people know about it. If he hasn't, he ought not to be in
business. He isn't a business man in any sense of the word.
If a newspaper has a story that, from a news standpoint is especially in
teresting to its readers, it plays that story for everything that it is worth.
It may run a screaming head line across the front page or decorate the whole
page with large black type that fairly screams -at you that this paper is print
ing a story that you want to know about and that you ought to read.
As a result, people read it. Why? Because. the newspaper plays that
story to the fullest and tells them as loudly as it can that "here is a story for
YOU." That's the same principle that the business man ought to use". It
strikes people in the same way that a story with a big headline strikes them.
People seldom go into hysterics over a newspaper that has a ladylike way
of doing things and that wouldn't let you know that it had a story for fear
you might discover it. They don't like a paper'that wants you to hunt all
over the sheet for the story that is most appealing to you. What the public
wants, is news played to the limit as news. It wants something that will at
tract its attention. It wants something that will PULL.
It's the same way in advertising. Some business men write copy that only
fills space. It gets them nowhere. It sells them little if anything. It does
not pull. It does not attract attention. People may see it and pass on.
Systematic, regular, scientific advertising is what counts. Tell the people
some story every day. MAKE them read it. People will read what inter
ests them and the only way for business men to write advertising that
COUNTS is to write advertising that INTERESTS and PULLS.
BULL RUN The Enterprise has all along been an ardent advocate of
WATER RENT Bull Run water as a source of supply for this city. It
has believed that Oregon City could go to no better source than to the same
mountain reserve that supplies Portland with the best water in the world.
- Believing that such a source would solve the problems of water supply that
have vexed the city and would cure the black eye that has been given by its
typhoid1 fever epidemic, this paper has argued for Bull Run water.
With the agitation for another source and the possibilities that the south
fork of our own Clackamas have to offer, together with the exhorbitant
rental that Portland has fixed as a condition for the service, the Enterprise
believes that the city's interests would be best served by passing by the Bull
Run water and constructing its own line to its own source and its own reserve.
Portland is like the man "who charged me too much for them beans." It
has placed a price on its water that this city could not be -expected to pay.
While Portland has the best water in the world, admittedly, there are other
streams arising in the same reserve and testing the same kind of water that
will prove just as good. Too, they will cost money. But when once the
Worshiping Is Out of Fashion

children think as much of their mother as you did of yours?

line to those sources is built arid the bonds "have Been met ,the mains will be
long to this city alone and it will become' a-rherchant with goods to-.seIlJ
rather than a buyer seeking the lowest
lacicamas water comes rrom tne same source as does the null Kun. It
arises in the same mountains, flows through the same reserve. Its source is
just as free from contamination and possible filth. It is just as far away
located among the peaks of the high and impenetrable ranges as is that which
daily supplies the needs of a rapidly growing metropolis.
Figuring it from Oregon City's standpoint, the rental of $98.74 a day ot
$39,040.10 annually besides the interest on the bonded debt incurred by the
construction of the pipe line and, further taking into the consideration the
fact that Portland may, at its discretion, revoke the permit that it would give
and take away the source of supply at its pleasure, there is not much that
i encouraging'to this side of the fence. " Portland seems to be getting much
the best of the deal. Yet, Portland is the merchant with the goods to sell,
goods that it apparently does not want to sell. ; As such, this city would'have
to meet those terms were there no other way out of the dilema. ' .
But, fortunately, there is. Instead of constructing a.' line to the r'eservoir
at Alount Tabor that might at any time Become so much wasted pipe and
money, this city .can construct its own main to its own point of intake and
have its own water running through its own pipe into its own reservoir and
through its own mains.
The cost of the line to. Mount Tabor would be at least $100,000. The
cost of the pipe laid in the ground tothe junction point of the Clackamas
and its south fork would be about $150,000. The cost would be fhe cost of
construction. The pipe would belong to the city. It would tap the city's
water supply. The only interest that would be paid would be on a' line that
belonged to this city not to Portland.
Oregon City is not particularly interested in paying off the bonded debt
ol Portland and cares little whether that debt is ever paid or not.Surely, it
does not want to help pay that debt. Neither does it want its water supply
taken from it at a moment's notice just because Portland happens to need it
for some of its outlying suburbs. From the charges that Portland has given,
this city would be continually paying for something that did not belong to it,
something to which it held no title, and over which it could exercise not the
slightest control. ' -
From a financial standpoint, Portland's rates are too high. They get
us nowhere. We are in the same boat that we were before. The proposition
now before the people of the city is to get behind this scheme for Clackamas
water and push that thing through to completion at once, rushing the matter
as far as possible. Another water supply is needed. - Let it be our own from
Clackamas. -

OLDEST BANK INCLACKAMAS COUNTY
FORUM 0FTHE PEOPLE
OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 14, 1913.
(The Editor of The Enterprise) In
reading the various articles that have
appeared in the papers in regard to a
source of pure water supply for Ore
gon City the south fork of the Clack
amas has been mentioned by different
correspondents and is now being in
vestigated by a committee backed by
the Live Wires and others, and it is
made to appear that this source is a
new discovery. For the benefit of th?
public and the many readers of your
publication, I would like to call atten
tion to the fact that the board of wa
ter commissioners for two to threts,
years prior to .1901 made a thorough
investigation of - all the possible
sources of a gravity supply of pure
water for this city and had surveys
and estimates made by competent en
gineers on the various sources.
Mr. R. D. Wilson, who was a mem
ber of the board at that time, first
suggested the south fork of the Clack
amas as being the nearest mountain
stream that would fill the require
ments, as he was well acquainted with
the stream, having fished in it many
times where it entered the main Clack
amas river.
Members of the board with J. H.
Cunningham, a eivil engineer of Port
land, made a preliminary survey of
the south fork, and Mr. Cunningham
reported to the board that a wood
stave pipe line some 27 miles long
could probably be constructed to our
reservoirs for an approximate cost of
$156,000.00. Reports on samples of
the water sent to Prof. Pernot of the
state agricultural college proved the
water to be the equal of even Bull
Run.
All these reports are a matter of
record in the files of the water com
mission. - -
As -it was clearly evident, at that
time, that the probable cost to get wa
ter from the south fork would in all
probabily cost near - $250,000.00, as
all large undertakings of this kind ex
ceed their estimates, and as the in
terest charge along would exceed
double the revenues then derived from
the water consumers It was decided
that the filter system was the only
relief for a water supply until such
time as the growth of the city would
require a larger water supply and the
income be adequate to provide the in
terest on a bond issue and the ex
penses of operation.
No doubt the board will be glad to
marked- . ,....'
have the problem solved for them as
any expenditures for a water supply
must be made through the offices of
the board, as required by our city
charter.
Yours respectfullv,
T. L. CHARMAN,
OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 14. (To
the Editor of The Enterprise) 1
noticed an article in your paper of the
other day when you stated that the
council was going to ask the people to
vote another bond issue for $8000 to
finish the construction of the public
elevator. I think this never should
have come into print for there is no
foundation behind the movement.
There are a few people against the
elevator. There were in the Decem
ber election of 1912, but there, were
not enough to defeat it. Each and
every ward went a majority for the
elevator about 500 majority in all.
This statement was made to misin
form the people and keep them in the
dark as other statements and reports
have been made. There was $12,500
voted for the construction of the ele
vator. The contract was let for $11,
980, which leaves a balance of $520.
That amount will about lay the water
main to the elevator. Where the oth
er $8000 would be expended, I fio not
know. The elevator committee has
worked hard, though lots of obstacles
have been thrown in their way but
the elevator will be built as ordered
by the people and they can use their
$8000 for some other good cause even
though it be fpr prospecting. It is
true that the elevator would not bene
fit all directly. But isn't our street
improvement upon the same basis?
What about North Main street, that
cost the city $6000, Eleventh, Twelfth,
Monroe and Washington streets?
Look at the records and see what the
city paid. And how many travel those
streets along side the number that
have to help pay the expenses? Let
us be a little broader and say one for
all and all for one.
