Editor of Grant County Herald
Tells How This City Is
Progressing
The Grant County Herald, of Lan
caster, Wisconsin, published by B. J.
Lowry, who spent some time here in
the summer of 1907, boosts Eusene
in an editorial in the annual spedai
Christmas issue of that paper, which

THE HUSTLING WEST
Does advertising pay?
There are a number of enterprisine
towns that would laugh at this query.
They are proving every day that it
does. For instance:
The people of Eugene, Or., recent
ly raised $15,000 to advertise the in
terests of the town and Lnno count v.
lMigene has had one year's experience
in promotion work, and found it a
dividend payer on an investment of
$10,000 in 1H07-8. The 19US-9 fund
raised on the eve of the presidential'
election, represents a contribution of
$15 for every voter in the town, aud
as compared with what other cities
have done is probably tlie largest pro
motion fund, per capita, ever raised
by any city in the United States for
such a purpose. The money will be
used In general advertising. Five
thousand dollars has also been raised
by the people of Goldendnle. Wash.,
to exploit the resources of Klickitat
county. Thirty-six hundred dollars
was raised in the first 36 minutes of
the campaign, made under the direc
tion of Tom Richardson, secretary of
the Portland Commercial Club, and
C. C. Chapman, president of the Port
land advertising League.
The editor of the Herald spent two
weeks In and about Eugene in the
summer of 1907, and can vouch that
It is one of the prettiest and most pro
gressive Inland cities of Oregon. It
is situated at the head of navigation
on the Willamette river, 150 miles
south of Portland, and from a busi
ness standpoint is the key to the
great and rich Willamette valley. Ten
years ago Eugene was a quiet and
sleepy town of about 3000 popula
tion. It was not awake to its oppor
tunities, but a few active men arous
ed it to the possibilities which were
within its reach. The people became
enthused and started to do things.
The town took a mighty Btrlde for
ward. Manufacturing industries
were secured; the natural advantages

New York, Dec. S2. It takes but
a glance at the Australian papers to
see how remarkable la the Interest
In the coming Burns-Johnson fight.
Burns, the champion, has made a
tremendous hit in Australia, the new
Kldorado of pugilism. And Johnson,
by his gigantic stature and his panther-like
skill In boxing, has no doubt
made himself an object ot awe to the
natives, although he has been train
ing there only a month. That John
son has made an Impression Is
proved by the laconic otitumont
I "Iletting oven." The negro's size has
onset to a degree Burns' easv vic
tories over Australian flghteis. ' t
Tommy has taken up the old stuut.i
Invented by Bob Fltislnunous, of
charging admittance to his training'
quarters. No doubt seeing him hit
action Is well worth whatever he
charges. And even If this Is only a !
small sum, the receipts from 6000 1
people daily for a month or more will I
add materially to the ISA. 000 that ho1

three flglus and ills few weeks of

$30,0011 more In England, America;

$140,000, all for less than a year's
