DOES IT PAY?
Ib business dull? Don't the goads
move In spite of the fact you have
placed "off season" prices on them?
A&yhe you are making too much of
a secret about It. Even your own
customers haven't heard of the Ijw
,ri ea you are making on winter
goods, or many of them would be bay
ing now for next winter's usa.
Why not try a little publicity steam
in the way of newspaper advert.li
ins? It h is helped others; it will
help you.
The beit merchants everywhere
say there is no advertising tlni'
equals the local newspaper, when the
advertising follows the known rulo"
for succeis In advertising: Up to
date, seaionable goods offered with
price stated; or off season offerings
with cut price; always make good
what Is said In the advertisement;
never run same ad twice, and final
ly, keap at it long enough to give it
a thorough trial.
If you follow those rules and
don't get results we will admit adver
Using in the home paper doesn't
pay. It doesn't cast any more t:
advertise right In this paper, than
It does to run stale ads.
From present Indications the sugar
beet culture will be given a good
test In the valley this coming sea
'son. A number of public spirited
land owners have offered land and
water at a low rontal In order to
have the test male. This Is com
imendable on their part and it Is wel'
for the valley. There has bee
some conflict of testimony whethai
sugar beet culture was good for r
community or not. The way to
settlo It, Is by a thorough test
That will be male.
A pay roll is the thing. Elgin Is
rejoicing be ansa a big lumber com
pany has been foriaed over there
that will employ many men. She
has a right to be happy. It may
make up for the town much of what
was lout by the extension of the
railroad. Trade and commerce are
all right, but nothing makes for ad
vance In popula'lon, bank deposits,
price of property and general pros
perity like a pay roll.
The machine Republicans who
bolted the regular nominee far speak
er of the Illinois house and joined
with the Domocra's In electing Shurt
leff, are called Ropocrats. That
name would fit the Oregon machine
Republicans who bolted Cake for
Chamberlain, not because they like
Chamberlain, but with the avowed
object the Oregon I an says of bring
ing statement No. 1 In disrepute.
THE MAN WHO ADVERTISES.
The man who advertises Is aggres
sive and progressive. He Is the one
who does most to build up his com
munity. In this he may incur the
ill-will of his non-progresslve com pet,.
Horn, but he dons the business and
wells the goods. He Is the booster
and not the knocker. While ho may
be doing well he believes In doing
better. While in business he will
work It for all there Is in it. He
Is neither penny wise nor pound fool
ish. The money spent In advents
Ing Is not thrown away, nor wasted
and the advertiser knows It. Every
dollar spent In Judicious advertising
yields large returns. The man who
never advertises but sits around and
grunts and growls at his successful
competitors and kicks and knocks at
the town docs not corral the trade.
Trade la like everything animate. It
likes coaxing and needs to be
ought, Ruslness Is greater than It
seems, Its possibilities Infinite. Suc
cess depends upon management and
not locality. The world Is wide and
after a man has corralled his own
country there are 12,r00 miles It ft
In either direction.
For that Terrible Itching.
Enema, tetter and salt rheum keep
their victims In perpetual tonne it.
The application of Chamberlain's
Salve will Instantly allay this Itching
and many cases have been cured by
-its use. For sale by Uumaugh &
Alayfleld.
OREGON BRIEFLETS
Haines Burgess, of the senior
class at Pacific College, won the lo
cal oratorical contest there Friday
night. His subject was "Modern
Tyranny." There were five contest
ants. H. R. Butler, conveying the elec
toral vote of Oregon arrived In
Washington Friday. The $1000 for
feit for failure to arrive there by
the time prescribed will not be as
sessed against Mr. Butler, as a copy
had been received by mail.
M. J. Meany, the Portland youth,
who was convicted upon his confes
sion of an attempt to rob Henry
Schilling, a well-known business
man of Butte, Mont., was sentenced
to 20 years in the Montana peniten
tiary. Parts of a human skull were
brought up last week from the chan
nel of Coos Hay by the government
dredger. With it were bits of cloth
ing and a rock with a rope attached,
which Indicated that it might have
been the remains of a suicide years
ago.
In the person of Harold Barton, a
14-year-old boy from Nampft, Idaho;
the Portland police think they have
the ".look-out" for a gang of yeggis.
Barton was picked up along wlt'.i
Esmond Conger, a young boy from
Baker City, by detectives. Both aro
runaways. '
Two recruits received at Fort
Stevens from Jefferson Barracks,
Mo., engaged in a fierce fight Friday,
and one of the men, Private White,
is now in the hospital In a serious
condition. Private Johnson, his as
sailant, is locked up under guard
and will be courtmartlaled.
A. S. Hart, of Albany, has 12 hens
which have laid 2595 eggs in the
last year, and he claims it is the
champion laying brood of the world.
Included In this flock Is the hen
which recently established a new
world's record by producing 256
eggs in a year
Jesse H. Bond, president of the
senior class of Oregon University
and winner of last year's Interstate
oratorical contest, Friday won first
place In the tryout to select a repre
sentative for the inter-collegiate con
test between nine Oregon colleges, at
Corvallls next March.
Reports received from different
sections of Wasco county are favor
able to the outcome of the wheat
crop. Prominent farmers say the
grain crop is in better condition now
than at this time last year. The
damage to fruit has been exaggerat
ed and fruitrulsers are now hopeful
of a fair yield.
Through the efforts of Oregon rep
resentatives, a provision has been In
serted in the emergency river and
harbor bill by the house committee,
authorizing a survey of the Colum
bia and Willamette Rivers from
Portland to the sea, with a view to
ascertaining the cost of a 30-foot
channel.
Governor Chamberlain has Issued
a warrant for the extradition of W.
F. Gordon, who Is under arrest in
San Francisco and is wanted In
Marshfleld to answer to the charge
of the embezzlement of $171). 77, al
leged to have been collected by him
as agent for a Portland piano con
cern upon the payment of an instru
ment. Brooks & Sons, proprietors of the
Carlton nursery, have received a
shipment of choice walnut seed di
rect from France. There were eight
hogsheads In the shipment and they
contained 500,000 nuts. This seed
will be planted on a tract of land
one mile east of Carlton, which these
men recently purchased for this pur
pose. This company now has over
100 acres In nursery and is constant
ly enlarging Its holdings.
According to statements made by
Salem loganberrygrowers, the re--cent
freeze killed all kinds of vines
down to the bdow line, and there
will be no loganberry crop this year,
except what berries will grow on the
few vines which, through neglect
were lying upon the ground and
were protected by the snow. This
will be n severe blow to the logan
berry Industry, for a beginning was
made th? past season In finding a
permanent market for the fruit.

by the various officials who are in
terested in the extensive plans Ore

A Common Cold.
We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms a culture bed for germs of
Infectious diseases. Consumption,
pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs
of these diseases, that would not
otherwise find lodgment. There is
little danger, however, of any of
these diseases being contracted when
8 good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is used. It cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development of
the germs of these diseases. That Is
why this remedy has proved 80 uni
versally successful in preventing
pneumonia. It not only cures your
i-old quickly, but minimizes the risk
ot contracting these dangerous dis
eases. For sale by Burnaugh &
Mayfield.
