It Is astonishing how many bus iness men can be talked into taking space in a chart, or frame, or regis ter, or some other thing that has nu excuse for existence. A aehemtr will get more for his worthless card than a country publisher would. It Is peo ple who have been thus duped who complain that advertising does not pay Benton County Republican. Last week a gentleman called a: our office and desired to Bee a paper published ut a certain town, says Benton County Republican. lie wished to make some collections and was af ter some attorney's address. He found just one lawyer's name in the paper and gave him the business. Now there ar five attorneys In the place, and out of that four were fool ish and one was wise, he kept his name before the public. The area of government land for homesteading has gradually narrowed down to little or nothing. The grip of the landlord will soon be upon us as in Europe. One generation has seen the disappearance of entire em pires of free land given by a prodi gal government to all who asked. Another will see regal estates and hordes of tenants unless we are wis er than all the people gone before Stanfleld Standard. The Enterprise acknowledges re ceipt of a beautiful calendar from the Salem Brewery Association, also one from the Willamette Valley Lumber Co.

When they are all delivered the cost to the company wil have 'been about $600. The postage on each one was ten cents. The scene on the calendar is a reproduction of a famous painting by John Fery.

On and af ter January 1, 1910, the importation of liquor into prohibition stales must be carried on openly and above board. No longer may the user of liquors receive these articles unless the package in which they are ship ped is plainly marked on the cover, showing the nature and extent of the liquid contents. This is one of the requirements of the new interstate liquor law, which was incorporated in the penal code passed at the last regular session of congress. This new law is the first fruit of the long-continued campaign waged by the Prohibitionists before con gress. Not only does the code require the plain marking of packages con taining liquor, but it puts an end to the practice of express and freight agents acting as collectors for liquor agents and also puts a stop to anonymous shipments and does away with the C. O. D. Liquor traffic. Sheep Men Meet in Pendleton. Pendleton Secretary Dan P.
