A specific caae of lateral Inflow and deposit is the following: On the Hudson river, not a great Bllt-bearing river, to t'ccurc a 2G foot channel at one place a few hundred feet In length, In remov ing 82,802 cubic yards place measure ment, 129,123 scow measurement were show the need of lengthening all the 9purs to produce the desired effect. . Or, it may be found they are all too long, und must be cut oft. Or It may be ne. ccssary to lengthen them some, and shorten others, "Longitudinal walls, especially If high, interfere more with the tidal reservoir, the retention of which in full is of much Importance.' I "The due regulation of the height of the works is a most Important matter. If too low, they control the currents too little. If too .high, they obstruct them too much, especially in time of freshets." "When the river is tidal, and more' over Is subject to considerable freshets, dredged.

But there are two ways In cause (as the board of engineers states) which all the residents of the Columbia the dikes will last only a few years. watershed are deeply Interested. The business man who says that ad vertising does not pay does not adver tise. He is the one that always doubts the prosperous trade reports he hears of his competitor, who does' advertise. He sits In the bock of his store, smokes his plpo and wonders why he Isn't making any money. He has the blues when he should have trade. Ho 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 ls this so? It ls 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 In the most skillful and Intelligent way. If he oannot 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 ls properly written In a catchy and displayed way some one whose duty It Is to take off the shoulders of a busy One lne mrgo section of dike will rnntnln j, t nnn.Antn ... u Lilt.

He employs specialists for each of these various services, and saves money by doing It. It ls through its language and arrangement that an advertisement gets its business-bringing qualities. There must be something to attract public attention and hold lt; something of interest, something out of the ordinary, something that ls different from others of the same line of busi ness. To give lt these peculiar features requires experience, and the owner of Tho Aatorlan has engaged the services of such a specialist for the benefit of Its advertising customers who may wleh to take advantage of his services. The Evening Star, of Washington, D. C., has an ad ertisement writer con nected with Its business department, and Its terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money. The same amount of spac?, with the assist ance of the advertisement writer In get ting up ad. attractively, so much addi tional." The Astorian charges nothing extra, the services of the expert being thrown In. A LOCK Is something you want, If not today, you w ill want is sometime.
