TEE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, TUESDAY MORNIKW. JULY 17, 1894 BILLY HOWE IN JAIL. E. Howe, late County Treasurer Landed In Jail. w. Th9 great fire at Klumath Falls on Record,. which originated In the hard- mn Htr,re of Howa &'Parrlsh. and also' consumed other business houses, was! the bursting of a scandal Involving the leading business, social and political Influences of the county. The retlilnE ounty treasurer, W. E. Howe, was sturc In his accounts to the amount of about f 9.C00, and as the day and hour for turn ing over the monies and books of the county and final settlement to his tw- cessor, Alex Martin, Jr., drew nearer and the Bin of Billy Howe would soon become common property, the defaulting treasurer ran the gauntlet of despera tion, preferring the concealment of fire to disgrace. Mr. Howe claimed that $8875 In green backs belonging to the county were con sumed by the (lames. The circumstances of the fire were peculiar and do not at all tend to relieve Howe of the suspicion of arson, no effort being made to rescue the safe and Its contents. His bondsmen being responsible, caused his arrest Saturday night, the tho immediate crime charged being a violation of section 24G5 of the statutes; of Oregon providing for a redemption , of county warrants when more than ' J1500 is in the treasury. The prellmina- v ry examination took place Mondny, and Mr. Howe was remanded to the county Jail, in the absence of securing ball, to for unusual exertion is manner, await the action of the grand Jury in Tho local land office at Oregon City August. He will probably remain inj has been Instructed to dispense with custody until the whole matter is two clerks. This leaves but one to as, cleared up. I slst with the work of both offices.

WHERE OUR LUMBER GOES. Some Interesting Facts About Oregon and Washington Lumber. A publication from the state depart ment consists of reports from American consuls throughout the world regarding United States lumber in foreign mar kets. While Intended primarily for the advantage of American lumber produc- ers and shippers, the Information ; of unusual general interest. The re- markable fact is shown that the United States sends lumber to every country I on the globe, and that while In many' lands the market is virtually controlled hv rhn shlnr-ra nf thla nnnntrv thrJ are still greater possibilities of Increased!

In Samoa. 4 cents a' foot is paid for rough Oregon pine and' California redwood. Hawaii, by letting American lumber in free of duty, and charging ten per cent ad valoiem duty P'oyes and the people of Ashland are de on Canadian lumber, virtually prohibits orderly and law-abiding, the the Importation of the latter. Consul Mills, at Honolulu, reports that all the ' timber used there cornea from the Unit-! ed States, and that it amounts to 15,000.- 000 feet annually.

The great difficulty appears to be In pro?urina trangports. Little Is carried by American ships. The principal rivals' of this country in the world's lumber! trade are Canada and Norway, except in England, where Russia and Germany are competitors, and in Austria, which is supplied by countries on the Mediter ranean.

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 bis 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 Ills competitor for them. Why is this so? It is because his com petltor lets the public know ln an in telllgent way through the local papers what he has to sell and when he has it. Tho successful advertiser looks after his advertising space as he does his clerks. He changes bis 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 lt 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 Is properly written in a catchy and displayed way some one whose duty it is to take off the shoulders of a buBy 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 get its business-bringing 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 Ha advertising customers who may wish to take advantage of his services. The Kvenlng Star, of Washington, P. C, has an advertisement writer con nected with its business department, and ita terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money.
