I lihTlimtiffliiWiaiii JifeW'Miwrgj.'i:wi'.iiaif twtiti'iiwMMMiMMMMM TilE 1UVEHSTATI0NARY (Continued from First Page.) by that gold-trusb-Pjpullst-comlil-.ie. All the Astoria delegates to the grand lodge of Oregon A. O. U. W. are here In force, and, If rumor speaks truly, are making their lnlluence felt considerably In a very effective canvass for the elec tion of one of their number to a posi tion among the grand ofllcers for the com In? term. The judsment of the su preme grand lodge in ordering the re instatement Into the order of I. L. Os good, of Astoria, was formally received by the Oregon grand lodge this after noon, and accepted as the final verdict in this long-drawn out and interesting case. Messrs. Dealey, Stockton, Win ton, W. rt. Ross and Dr. Tuttle are the delegates from down the river. They expect to leave for home on Saturday. Mr. Duffy, of The Astorian staff, came up the river this morning, for the pur pose of t:iking a trip to Bonneville, on Iho Columbia, with the steamer Potter, carrying a large party of supreme lodge A. O. IT. W. ofllcers, including two In tltnate friends of his, Charles F. Wen nelter, secretary of the Republican clubs of St. Louis, and Dr. D. H. Shields, of Hannibal, Mo., supreme G. M. W., and brother of the assistant United States attorney general under President Hart rison . Mr. Frank V; Holman, the well known attorney and capitalist of this city, is very, emphatic in his statements con cerning the causes and probable results of the flood, and draws some deductions that, though to my mind not at all war ranted by the circumstances, will never theless open up paths for reflection and study. He said to nie today: "The present high water has most certainly never before occurred within the age ot any fir tree in the flooded district, a period which I should estimate roughly at 500 years. The combination of cir cumstances that brought this state of affairs about has been so unprecedented and uncommon that It is folly to dream of a flood of any like dimensions hap pening for hundreds of years to come. In the first place the snow did not melt last summer like it usually does, and the Columbia river, which rarely rises till the beginning of June, came up in May In fact, ahead of the Snake river, which is an altogether unheard of cir cumstance. The snow that had been ac cumulated in fiho Willamette valley caused, of Itself, a wholly unexpected rise of ten feet. The reason for the pres ence of so much snow in the valley was that last year the Willamette experi enced five distinct freshets. Here, then,! we have all the main points, coming to gether in combination that went to make up the flood we are just passing through. First and Front streets, in my opinion, will not be abandoned, either gradually or at all, for the prospects of a flood of like nature are as far remote as a repetition of the great earthquakes of Lisbon or Charleston. Resides, let us suppose that this flood canii once in every ten or fifteen years, and that it entailed a certain amount of loss at every recurrence. I believe that the wholesalers, Instead of moving away out of its reach back west of Sixth and south of Alder street, and thereby in curring enormous additional expendi ture for hauling goods to and from docks and train depots, would rather bear the losses caused by the Hood at the end of every 15 years, which losses would not amount to as much as one year's increased cost of haulage caused by the removal. Of course, 1 agree with you that it is folly to state that the damage caused by this present flood has been of no account. I confess that it has been considerable, but believe it is overestimated. My figure, at a rough guess, as to the probable loss entailed would be half a million dollars. I do not consider that there Is much danger of any trouble with the foundations of "buildings. It must be remembered that the water did not press from all four Fides onto the basements of these ware houses and stores, but that the Interiors were all filled with water too, thus caus ing an equal distribution of weight and considerably relieving the strain, and bringing t"t a minimum the chances ,ui any collapse. It seems to me that a great deal of damage has been done to the wharves through the flood, and that their condition is extremely bad." Mr. Holman's views are open to much ciiticism, and I will give you tomorrow on Interview with a prominent Portland merchant whose interests are bound up In water front property here, but who nevertheless takes issue with Mr. Hol man in all his more important theories. ind who confesses the indisputable fact that the Front, First and Second street property in thij city has teen decreas ing in value by great Jumps, until to day It is practically a millstone round tho necks of the men who own it. It may be stated that every figure quoted as the amount of loss in all the street descriptions that have appeared in these articles, has been furnished di rect to your correspondent by the pro prietors of the various establishments, and that none are the result of wild guesswork. Manager O'Shea, of the Union Meat Company, on Third street, told me tudiy that he could not compute his losses till tomorrow. They will run well into the thousands.

WYATT, HAHDWAWS PEAt-KH Blue Devils The business man who says that ad' vertlslng does not pay does not adver lie Is the one that always doubts the prosperous trade reports he hears of his competitor, who does advertise. He sits in the back of his store, smokes his pipe and wonders why he isn't making any money. He has the blues when he should have trade. He not only lets his neighbor get that neighbor's share of the business, but a good part of his also. He sees people whom he thought old friends of his go into his competitor's store and come out with bundles of goods, when he has the same articles on his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices than they paid his competitor for them, Why Is this so? It is because his com petitor lets the public know In an In telligent way through the local papers what he has to Sell and when he has It. The successful advertiser looks after his advertising space as he does his clerks. He changes his ads. in such a way the people are attracted by them. He feels that to make money he must be willing to spend some; that there Is strong competition in all lines of busi ness, and to get his share of the trade he must advertise, and to do it la the most skillful and Intelligent way. If he cannot write advertising matter himself, he seeks the aid of some one who has made the writing of advertisements a study some specialist, who will see that it is properly written In a catchy and displayed way some one whose duty It is to take oft the shoulders of a busy man all the worry of making up an ad. No business man attempts to cure his own sickness, pull his own teeth, make his own clothes or attend to his own law cases. He employs specialists for each of these various services, and saves money by doing it. It is through its language and arrangement that an advertisement gets its buslness-brinulng qualities. There must be something to attract public attention and hold It; something of Interest, something out of the ordinary, something that is different from others of the same line of busi ness. To give it these peculiar features requires experience, and the owner of The Astorian has engaged the services of such a specialist for the benefit of its advertising customers who may wish to take advantage of his services. The Evening Star, of 'Washington. D. C, has an ad ortlsement writer connected- with Its business department, and its terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money. The same amount of space, with the assist ance of the advertisement writer in get ting up ad. attractively, so much addi tional." The Astorian charges nobbing extra, the services of the expert being thrown In, Hit can see if, iierlmps.oiioof Dr, 1'iei-t c.vi i'lcnsntit Pellets but you can't feel It after It's taken.
