NOVEMBER IS. 1913 SUBSCRIPTION RATES On. Ymr Sim Month. Three Mentha $2.00 1.00 7S r Preparing the Copy. "Copy is the soul of adver tising," and preparing copy that atteacts, interests and con. vinces is the diflkult work of the advertiser. Among tin' things to he taken into consid eration in the preparation of copy are the headlines, illus trations, type, the pace, class of people to be reached, season of the year, etc. The first purpose of the copy is to attract and interest, through construction and ar rangement. That is, the ad vertiser must so prepare his copy as to draw the attention of the reader away fmm the news matter lon enough to make an imression on his mind so the reader will want to know more of the subject natter. The advertiser is competing, with capable writers in news section of the paper. He should make the copy so attractive as to compel the attention of the reader, for the reader buys I he paper to read the news, not the ads. The attention of the reader can best be secured by a pro per arrangement of the copy before placing the copy in the hands of the printer. In ar ranging copy the advertiser should take into consideration the white space to be filled, type faces and sizes, etc. , A matter of essential im portance in the preparation of the copy is not to have the space overcrowded, as this materially effects the attrac tiveness of the ad. The ad vertiser can guaru against this by preparing a "dummy" of his copy. He will And by per sonally laying out the copy and arranging the type matter, etc., his ads will be much more attractive and, if the ads arc; convincing, much more effec tive, Another very important matter for the advertiser to bear in mind is that good copy in a paper at one place at a certain time may not be Reed copy in another paper at another place at another time. The copy should (it the paper, VXinc piuce aim inu iiuii-. n of the people of Harney county and will continue to lend his otforLs to build up the country, he has shown his faith in the country and Burns by investinu what few dollars he has tc spare in substantial improvements and The Timef-Herald is one of the permanent fixtures of the coun try. It is recognized as a reliable paper and the management de sires to do every thing possible in a legitimate way to build up Harney county and the town of Hums. County Court. County Court adjourned Tues day after attending to all busi ness for the regular November term. Another meeting will be !i -id in December to make the tax levy for the coming- year and any other business that may come before it at that time. Fol-! Gets Down to Brats Tacks. The following communication appeared in the Oregonlan of the 12th: 1 have road everything that has beat) published in the Portland papers and have beard every word that has been publicly ut tered on the railway situation during both the Ilnrriman iind Hill visitations. From fail I have gleaned the following facts: That financial conditions arc not favorable lor securing monty for railroad construction and too high a rate of interest is demanded. That American railway securi ties are in i oor standing both at home and abroad. That these conditions are brought about to a very great ex tent by litigation and legislation past and threatened. That, while these conditions continue the construction of new mileage will be added except where it is necessary to protect the lines already in operation. Locally, so far as Central Ore gon is concerned, that if the start had not already been made rail road building there would not be undertaken while these conditions exist. The decision as to whether or not it is necessary for the pro tection of the existing andoporat inir lines that the stub of a road up the Deschutes Canyon termin ating at Bend, and one in Mal heur Canyon, reaching up to Riverside, and both surely operat ing at a loss, be connected across Harney and Crook counties is before the railroad court and one which the officials will undoubt edly soon decide. The settler and investor in Central Oregon are called upon to pay the penalty for the mistake of the railroad companies and of the politicians. One thing thai .ludge Ixwelt reiterated with tmphasis was his opinion that tin large speculative land holdings in Oregon were retarding its progress. At the BUI banquet Saturday night. Col. C. Iv S. Wood made an impassioned plea for choper land for our prospective farmer settlers, stating that every acre of good, available agricultural land was taken up and wits held at an unreasonable price. He was followed by luis W Hill, who intimated some doubt as to Wood's statement. that all government lands were taken up. but he also insisted upon cheaper lands for the settlers and colonies which his company wanted to bring to Oregon.

The Times-Herald has passed another mile stone and with this issue begins its 27th year of con tinuous publication. It lias wit nessed many changes during these years ami hopes to merit the patronage of its patrons in the future as in the past. The present manager has been con nected with the paper for some 25 years and has had the entire management since MM, lie ap preciates the generous patronage Part of Indian Lands Sold E. M. Carber, the young man attached with the Indian service with headquarters at Roseburg, arrived here Wednesday evening and will remain for a couple of weeks. He informs The Times Herald that 12 tracts of the Indian lands in this Valley were disposed of at the recent sale. It is not definitely decided whether to re-advertise and sell the other tracts at the present or wait until spring, as it is pos sible prospective buyers may want to see the lands before placing bids and in such cases it would not be advisable to offer it for sale at this season of the year. Mannie and Tod Newell were up from their farms near Dog Mountain this week. They have recently had deep wells drilled on their places and are happy at having a nice lot of water.

If this is true let us face the situation and place the blame where it belongs. If sage-brush land which, when cultivated, will produce 25 to 33 bushels of Turkey red wheat or a fair yield of other grains, and alfalfa is not worth $15 per aero, let us in sist upon the price being reduced to the proper amount. If the price being asked for land is not too high then Mr. Hill and those other gentlemen are libeling our country, and such statements should be stopped, for they go out broadcast and are believed, and it. would then be plain that such claims were made simply as an excuse for his company in not continuing the Central Oregon transportation system. Louis W. Hill, W. P. David son, II. ( orbett, wm. Ilanley, Col. C. E. S. Wood, Drake O'Reilly and their associates own or control such an area of Cen tral Oregon lands that they can regulate the price. These gentle men are all reasonable business men, leading citizens and pub licly claim to be laboring for the upbuilding os Oregon. If land prices are too high thev can offer, enough of (heir non-productive Speculative holdings to put the price where it should be. Doesn't it appear the most comic kind of comedv for Jas. J. Hill to get up and scold four or five hundred business men of Portland ahout the price of land in Central Oregon? Why t'oesn't he in a fatherly way take Louis out in the barn-yard and frankly tell him that he and his friends must get busy and adjust Central Oregon lantl values. 0. P. MoCONNBLU Hums, Oregon.
