Centenary to be Observed by the. Uni
vorslty Important Publication Pre
paring.
It may not be generally known that
the year 1911 Is the one hundredth
anniversary of one of Oregon's noblest
pioneers, Jesse Applcgate. The de
partment of history at the university
is preparing to take notice of the an
niversary.
Mr. Applegate came to Oregon
from Missouri, In company with his
two older brothers, Charles and Llnd-
sey, in 1843, settling in what was
then Yamhill county, but now Polk
county. He died at Yon calla, in
Douglas county, where he had resid
ed most of the time since 1849, In the
year 1888. He is noteworthy as one
of the ablest men Oregon has ever
had, and as a disinterested, public
spirited citizen, whose influence upon
public affairs was frequently very
great.
Recent researches In the manuscript
archives at Salem have shown that
Applegate was the real founder of the
reorganized provisional government
adopted in 1845, that he drew most of
the Important laws passed by the leg'
lslatlve committee or tnat year, as
well as the memorial to the United
States congress, and that he was In
strumental in persuading the Hudson's
Bay company to take shelter under
the provisional government. Some of
the documents revealing his agency
in these significant matters have re
cently been unearthed in the public
record office of Great Britain, at
London, by a professor of the univer
sity.
The contemplated publication will
contain, first, a unique portrait of the
pioneer statesman; second, a bio
graphical sketch of his life and ser
vices: third. Applegate's "Views of
Oregon History," an extended com
mentary on affairs in tne early days
of Oregon, written by Mr. Applegate
late In life, for the oenerit of those
who should write the history of Ore

Hon. Horace Davis, one of the lead
ing citizens and business men of San
Francisco, has Just sent to Professor
Schafer for the benefit of university
classes In history, thirty copies of a
pamphlet entitled "The Oregon Trail.'
This is an essay prepared by Mr. Da
vis in 1905, at the time of his presi
dency of the Pacific coast branch of
the American Historical asoclation. It
was published In 1909, by the Massa
chusetts Historical society.
The narrative of events In early
Oregon history which led to the op

the pamphlet contains a reprint of the
Preuss map of 1848, representing the
trail from its starting point at Inde

Persistence
IN
Advertising
IT fakes TIME and REPETITION" to interest people in your propositi
on. The road to advertising success is strewn with the blenching skeletons of
tie victims of one insertion. YOU CAN'T BUILD A HOUSE WITH
ONE BRICK. It is the STEADY, PERSISTENT appeal to the buying
public that wins out. John Wanaraaker once said : "To discontinue adver
tising is like taking down your sign."
William Boyd, of the Curtis Publishing Co., in addressing the Manufac
turers' Advertising Club of Cleveland, Ohio, said: "Trial advertisements are
a waste of money the trial advertiseris like the tradesman who sends out
traveling salesmen once and then discharges them, expecting that the results
of the single effort will warrant encouragement of other salesmen for a like
single trip."
Advertising in a reputable newspaper increases public confidence, and ad
vertised business advances step by step in the estimation of tens of thousands
of people, who may be months getting around to make their first purchase.
Advertisers must be patient Everybody doesn't see what yon print the
FIRST time it appears. More will notico it the SECOND DAY, A GREAT
MANY MORE at the end of the month.
Advertisers must not act like the little girl who planted a garden and
coue out the next day, expecting it in full bloom. Her father had to explain
to her that plants require roots to grow, and that while she couldn't see what
was going on TITE SEEDS WERE DOING THEIR MOST IMPORT
ANT WORK JUST BEFORE THE FLOWERS SHOWED ABOVE TOE
GROUND.
So advertising is doing its most important work just before the big re
sults eventuate.
Newspaper advertising is the most effective it costs less and reaches
farther.
