Preparations for the big debate with Idaho which la to occur here Thursday night are nearing completion and more than usual Interest is being taken In the affair. On the whole Ore gon's chances of winning seem very good, although three out of the six members of the two teams are new this year. However, they have shown excellent form in local debates and have been working very hard. The question to be debated this year is, "Reaolved, That the presenc laws relating to the admission of Chinese immigrants to tne territory of the Uni ted States should be extended to Jap anese Immigrants." As this Is a ques tion which is being discussed very gen erally over the United States at the present time the debate promises to be very interesting. The three state universities of Idaho, Washington and Oregon will each have two teams In these debates, an affirm ative, which remains at home, and a negative, which visits one of the other institutions, xtius, Oregon's arrirma live team will deoate with the Idaho negative team at Eugene, while on the same evening her negative team is debating with Washington's affirma tive teams st Seattle and Washington's negative and Idaho's affirmative teams are debsting at Moscow.

They didn't publish pictures In the dally papers when Mr. Douglas first entered busi ness for himself, in 1876. No adver tiser had ever made a practice of print ing his portrait. Mr. Douglas' business was small. He had begun It on a bor rowed capital of $876. and he believed that the way to Increase It was to ad vertise. He was a clever ad writer in the days when there were lew men following that as a business lie thought out some good ideas and oth ers copied tnem. Une nlgm ne was warning uume irum his factory with his head bowed in thought. He had concluded that there was no use to put originality in on advertising so long as it was of a sort that other and larger manufacturers could codv. And as he pondered his eyes chanced to light upon a long bill board, blazing from one end to the other with lurid and inviting descrip tions of the glories of Barnum's circus. In the center of tho board, occupying the space from the top-piece to the ground, was a picture of P. T. Barnum. 'They can't copy Barnum's advertis ing so long as he has his picture In It,'' was his thought, and the Idea that has since contributed so largely to his busi ness success followed like a flash. The next morning he set out to put into effect the combination of picture and attractive wording In advertising. He then and since, however, stucit to nis belief that newspaper advertising waa better in Its results thsn the billboards. Today the face and the wares of Mr. Doimlas could not bo more disassoci ated than could the kaiser and his moustache. The kaiser could shave his moustache, but no one would believe the ensuing pictures were of him. Mr. Douglas could cease to join his features and his shoes in his advertising, but the public would not bellove they were the same kind of shoes. 0 We have been advertising our Celebrated MEN'S SUITS at t During all this time we have had many imitators and would-be competitors but nowhere in these UNITED STATES can their equal be found ' ; UPTOWN STORES ask $15 and some even more for the same fabrics Come in and make us prove it WHEN YOU SEE IT IN OUR AD IT'S SO 3d and Oali 1st and Yamhill DUG PREPARES FOR WEDDING d'Abruzzi Goes to Italy to Arrange for Marriage to Miss Elkins.
