Improvements of this kind count. The

There is more or less discussion gO'
ing on relative to the Salmon River
toll road. So far as Ths Leader has
been able to learn the citizens in the
vicinity of the road are in favor of the
proposition, and their wlbhes are cer
tainly entitled to consideration. While
all would undoubtedly prefer a good
road to Toledo, the county seat, where
all have more or less business during
the course of a year, the cost of such a
highway seems to render it impractic
able or impossible. Tho commission
ers' conrt has evidently done the best
thing possible under thecircumstances.
C
As We Were Saying
Why is it that some writers, who have
nothing much to say, can't be coutent
to give it vent in the good old fashioned
way? Why can't t hey deal In choice prose
instead of crippled verse that jumDs
and curves and jars the nerves and
breeds a smothered curse? Perhaps no
one is kind enough to tell them that
their time is thrown away from day to
day in making senseless rhyme. Per
haps that when these lines they read
'iwill break their dream of bliss, and
when they air ideas rare they'll jot
them down like this.
Thirteen is an unluoky number all
right enough. According to the Port
land weather bureau it has been thir
teen years since Oregon got such a
juicy storm period as that of the past
week. It was almost enough to satisfy a
man from western Kansas or Nebraska,
and more than enough for the natives,
who re inclined to grumble if they get
less than twelve months of sunshine
every year.
Miss May Goelet of" New York, the
richest girl in America, was married
Tuesday to the Duke of Roxburghe of
England, who is said to be a bully fel
low in spite of his title. We don't
blame the Duke, but the loss of such a
fine girl and such a wad of money
doesn't speak well for the attractive
ness and getthereativness of the elgible
young men of our great and glorions
couurty.
In desiring to confine the work of a
special session to the tax levy law Gov
ernor Chamberlain has the correct idea.
There is no other business of import
ance which cannot be deferred until the
regular session. Meanwhile onr state
lawmakers can probably find sufficient
legitimate employment to keep them in
bread and out of deviltry.
A writer in an English paper declares
that many ills to which human flesh
is heir are the result of the too constant
and liberal use of soap. He does not,
however, advocate the abolition of
water a fact which should be noted
by all who may decide to cut toilet soap
from the list of necessities.
The "Splashes" man on the Portland
Telegram can grind out poetry of as
good quality as that sent out on fatigue
duty by the poet laureate of England
And the readers of the Telegram are
just as kind and forgiving as ''our kin
dred beyond the seas."
The Oregonian is the defendant in a
$10,000 libel suit. It will be cheap ad
vertising, even should the Oregonian
get stuck for the full amount, but it
does seem that a man with a $10,000
reputation is out of his element on the
Portland police force.
Rev. Irl R. Hicks, the famous
weathercock pf tit. Louis, forecast the
November weather up to date to a dot,
from coast to coast. He has promised
us some nice weather before the month
is over, and also in December. Wait
for it
While western Oregon has been got
ting an abnormal amount of wind and
rvin, the highly favored states to the
eastward have been getting blizzards

reader sees it reads it through is fa
vorably impressed thinks he will send
for the article advertised or he decides
to "call in and get one the next time
I'm down town." but not just then,
perhaps he forgets about it and if he
neyer sees your name in the paper again,
chances are he will never be reminded
about it again.
Advertising, to be successful, must
be continuous. One big ad inserted
once or only occasionally, will not take
the place of an ordinary ad, published
regularly. Might as well think of eat
ing one huge meal a week instead of
three regulars every day. You'd feel
starved most of the time, and so
business which is represented by an oc
casional large ad, or even an occasional
small one, is simply starved in between
times.
A small ad appearing regularly is
worth much more than the sumn
amount of space concentrated into oue
big ad for one issue. The public hns
short memory for things adver
tised 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 presisted in day
after day, the more permanent results
will follow. The name of the firm and
character of the store and its offerings,
becomes well fixed in the minds of the
public, and tho result will finally come.
Successful advertising means persist
ent advertising. Canadian Grocer.
How to Advertise.
To insure the greatest results one
must rdvertise right. The methods
mediums, epaoes, etc., must be correct
in every detail, or the largest results will
not be obtained. It is, therefore, false
economy to use poor careless methods
impraper mediums, insufficient or su
perfluous space, inferior circulars or
other printed matter.
Even if read, the cheap circular ore
ates in the mind of the reader a feeling
of distrust toward the house" which at
tempts to economize by the use of snch
literature.
Another kind of false economy Is the
irregular, intermittent advertising-
practiced so much by a certain propor
lion of retailors and others.
You place an ad in the paper.

Tbs basket social given by the La
dies' AMI Society at Woodmen Hall lupt
Saturday night was well attended aud u
pronounced success. Aubuu Rosebrook
aud Mrs. Fred Stanton furnished a
gonorous supply of choice music with
violin and piano. The vocal music,
however, was absent. All the local
singers had such a very bnd cold or
something. But really, they were not
missed, for Mrs. C. II. Young filled in
the gap with a recitation an origiuul
poem, which contained some poetry and
a whole lot of truth. It was a vivid
picture of tbivillage gossip, overdrawn,
perhaps, only at one point. We do not
believe any woman would slander tho
editor of ThsLkadkr. The principal
number on the piogram wns the sale of
the baskets. Landlord Ellsworth of
the Commercial appeared in the role of
auctioneer and filled the position with
credit. A large number of beautiful
baskets, with choice contents, had been
prepared by the Indies and lassies, and
tho bidding was spirited, the proceeds
from this source being H'i.75. Lr. J.
D. Wetmore and Hanry Gannon were
the beaviext buyers. The latter pnicl
the top figure, but the doctor bought
most baskets, becaofe, no doubt, of hiH
greater capneity. The pales of ice crcn m
and coffee brought the total proceeds
up to 850.50, all but about f 10 of which
has beeu disbursed for repairs on the M.
E. church huA parsonagp. The Society
thoroughly appreciates the liberality
of the citizens who contributed to the
success of the social; rIno the enthusi
