KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE
C yru s Hatoh of Dallat Run Down by
Autom obilo Sunday M o rn in g
Caroloaa Driving
Cyrus S. Hatch, aited 73 was
run down by an automobile and
killed Sunday morning at Main
and Washington street, Dallas,
Orejron. The car was driven by
W'eldon Black. Careless driving,
and violation of city ordinance
and state law. is verdict of coro
ner's jury. Hatch was walkin*
down Washington Htreet when
Black dashed across the corner
from Main street instead of circ
ling the semaphore. The auto
knocked him down, his head
striking the cufb fracturing the
skull. It is said the auto was
going lf> or 20 miles an hour.
Careless driving. The man is
dead! Doubtless the driver ia
bowed down in grief, but that
does not restore life sacrificed to
speed-lust nor deter some other
reckless driver from violating
the laws. In palliation of the
crime it is stated that dozens of
automobiles violate the ordinance
every day, and even the county
otficers are not immune. The
more reason for the strict en
forcement of the law. What are
city marshals for? When they’re
rebuked for not enforcing the law
w ill w hine about no one making
complaint, juBt as though they
were expected to sit “ in state”
in some billiard hall waiting for
citizen to become exasperated at
the utter disregard of the law
and make complaint.
Law enlorcement is not diffi
cult, but it cannot be done when
an officer fails or refuses to act.
Had the laws been rigidly en
forced at Dallas in the past, in
all probabilities Cyrus S. Hatch
would have been living. Who is
indirectly responsible?

CAN YOU SAVE MONEY
James J. Hill, the great finan
cier, offers the following as a
test to your ability to succeed:—
“ If you want to know whether
you are destined to be a success
or not, you can easily find out.
The test is simple and infallible:
Are you able to save money?* If
not, drop out. You will lose.
You may not think so, but you
will lose sure as fate, for the
seed of success is not in you ”
These words are worth ponder
ing over. When you come to
sum it all up you will realize the
truth, that success lies in your
ability to save.

PROFITABLE ADVERTISING
Everybody lielivea in advertis
ing of some sort. Some use bill
Iniards, trees, rocks, fences, circu
lars and newspapers. The ques
tion is which of these methods
bring the best results? The great
trouble with the bill board, rock
and tree route is that they refuse
circulate in polite society and the
much desired customer is unable to
distinguish the differnce between
an invitation to vote for free
whiskey or Benson’s Hog Cholera
Cure as he whisks by in his lami
nated Ford.
If you are a manufacturer or a
jobber, choose a publication that
reaches the territory you desire
to cover. This rule will apply to
local merchants. A newspaper
may have a circulation of 10,000,
yet if only 100 copies enter your
territory it has far less value as
an advertising medium than the
local paper of modest circulation.
If a newspaper of a few hundred
circulation covers all the territory
you can reasonably expect to reach
it gives it more advertising value
than the more pretentious sheet.
The merchants of Falls City are
not interested commercially in the
territory adjacent Portland or
Salem; they don’t expect to sell
to people living in West Salem,
Crowley, Broadiruad. Perrydale,
Balston, Buell or Bunea Vista.

understand. I believe that in
this way wa should have been
spared tha repeated assaults on
