MISSING A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
i - The Statesman is on Sunday to commence the publication
of an article on the influence of Jason Lee in saving the
Oregon country to the United States of America. W. T.
Higdon is the author, and he has read a score or so of books
bearing on the matter; has read about everything in enduring
irint touching the subject, to say nothing of manuscripts in
the archives '" - , ,: . .
- - And this brings to mind again the opportunity that is
being missed to erect a great Jason Lee memorial here in
Salem. V . . ;, ' t " ;J,... ' 11 .:-
- -i ..... - I
- The house Jason Lee. built and occupied still stands the
first residence in Salem. It has. been .partially rebuilt, but
could be restored to its original appearance,
r? i That property ought to be acquired, "and a memorial made
nt ; : -
, rAnd there should be an annual pioneer pageant held in
Salem, similar to the Mission Play near Los Angeles.
-' Hie Mission PWy was written and started by a very
humble but very earnest newspaper reporter, John Stephen
McGroarty ; started in a very small way ; but from the modest
beginnings there has grown a great institution, with magnifi
cent buildings, costing millions, and dedicated to the early
history of California. -
. v McGroarty is a Catholic, of course. -Hie Oregon McGroarty
must be a Methodist.
7 The great Methodist church should find the man (or
iwoman) who will dedicate his (or her) life to such a work,
and get thit enterprise started. ;Salem is interested. Every
one in this city should help; could be brought to help. Wil
Jamette university t ought to lead off in the enterprise, and
follow it to the point of the great institution it should be
come - 1 , .
7 1 And every one in all the Oregon country, from the top of
tiei Rockies to the Pacific and north of the. California line
would finally help r'.' :
' A ,And help would come in the end from all the countries
tinder the shining sun, just as has come to pass in the world
wide itcrest in the California Mission Play.

" . . ; ADVERTISING LOWERS COSTS .;: ; ,
Says the Industrial News: Bureau -of E. Hofer & Sons,
Salem: , ; , - , '
"Newspaper advertising in America cost $235,000,000 last
year, a gain of $15,000,000 over the previous year.
"It has been argued that advertising is so much waste, so
much added unnecessa'rily to the cost of the articles sold. In
one sense, it is true ; if the sales could be made without it, the
prices could be just that' much less to the consumer.
"But the world buys only on information. . It travels
because it knows where to go, what it can see, how much it
will cost. It builds new houses because it reads how other
people build and live and enjoy. It dresses in new fabrics
because these come to its reading . eyes; It is many times
cheaper to get all this information by reading than in any
other manner. The world would settle down into a jumble of
ignorant, unkept, leave-me-alone provincial units, but for
what it reads in the advertising columns." . ' '
ITS OWN
(Portland Journal.)
Last year, a Willamette valley grower raised a 55000 prune crop.
One-fourth of it was sold at 4 cents a pound, and the remainder
rotted on the trees. There was no market.
While there, a Portiander saw Willamette valley prunes of that
year's crop on sale in Omaha at 45 cents a pound. Four cents, at the
orchard. 4 ! cents to the final consumer! And three-fourths of the
prunes in that orchard went to waste! , ;
The growers grow. But they don't sell. . . The 45-cent prune, in
Omaha Is a main reason why they, don't sell. A 4-cent prune In
Oregon and 46-eentrune In NebraAkajf'ktlls the;prnne business. It
Is the main reason why three-fourths of this $5900 crop rotted In the
orchard. The selling end of the business" was fatallySlefective.
The main thing in any businesses salesmanship and selling. The
4 -cent prune In the Oregon orchard with three-f purthsof the crop
unpicked, is the proof. As a waste of human endeavor, it is a climax
and a near crime. .
The Oregon prune is the best grown. It is a delicious and most
healthful all-year food. How.it ia prized is exam pted. by the Omaha
price of 45 cents per pound. -" M ;s -4 ' , .. 1
But it can't sell Itself. It can't do its own marketing. And
nobody else is going to market it for the especial benefit of the
grower. . If the grower doesn't add selling as a most important part of
his business, he is hopeless. ;
The present movement among Oregon, growers to organise, is
sanity. It is the on and only thing to do. J If other plans of the kind
have failed, that's no matter try again. '
The local canvass for the better support of Kimball Col
lege of Theology will commence on Monday. The men work
ing on this canvass ought io have a. welcome reception from
every one in and around Salem. This institution has a great
future, for it is. built on the foundations of a great past. Its
iifernrfo harkcrround is rinht. Salem is the Ulace of all places,
' a -
nn this coast for a creat school
of the institution is already .started, and growing. It is
around $30,000. It will become a great endowment some day.
The institution is capable of doing much for Salem, now and
for all time. The liberal treatment of the school by our
people now will be like bread .cast on the waters, to return
after many days ; some of it to return soon. A good support
here will be a marker for a good support all over the great
field, in the present campaign. It will pay Salem, in the
matterj of mere dollars and cents, to do well in the canvass thaf
opens Monday. It will help confirm the good judgment" of
