Advertising has become one of the
most important branches of business
It may be termed the dynamo of
commerce. It gives publicity to
what one has to sell and is intended
to attract purchasers. From the
newsboy who yells "Special Extra"
in the streets, to the broker who of
fers "Gilt Edged" securities in the
financial columns of the morning
paper, every one attempting to do
business advertises, with the pos
sible exception of the farmer.
Municipal advertising is a recog
nized division of the profession.
and there are bureaus which make
a specialty of giving publicity to
the advantages offered by this or
that city In the way of business op
portunity, health, culture, recrea
tion, etc.; to Induce people to
their particulars localities is one of
the chief offices of boards of trade.
At a recent meeting of the White
Mounaln, (N. H.,) Board of Trade
the question of good roads was dis
cussed from several standpoints.
Among other speakers was C. E.
Farnsworth, advertising manager of
the Boston and Maine Railroad, who
took his specialty as the subject
of his remarks and spoke of the
benefits of advertising for a com
munity or section Some of his
suggestions are worthy of earnest
consideration by the dwellers of the
country districts:
"I think you will all agree,"
said the seaker, "that the public
do not go to the Adlrondacks or the
White Mountains because of the
mere fact that the railroads oper
ate to those points." Hotels, it was
declared, are necessary to induce
guests, while it is equally true
guests are essential to the support
of the hotels.
"It has now become a necessity
to steadily create the desire among
the public to travel, to see, to visit,
to obtain recreation, rest and enter-

ROUND TRIP CHEAFER
THAN SINGLE FARE
Believing that 1900 will see an
unprecedented traffic in colonists
and homeseekers In the Norhwest
the railroads have arranged on ac
count of the Seattle exposition the
remarkably low rate of $62 for
round trip from Chicago and $50
from Missouri river common points,
according to William McMurray,
general passenger agent of the Har
rlman lines in Oregon, says the Pen
dleton paper. He believes that as a
result of this special low rate thous
ands will find homes In Oregon dur
ing the coming summer season.
The special fair rate is lower
than the regular one-way rate, and
Is the result of a special effort of the
railroads In the Northwest to at
tract prospective investors into this
country. Coupled with it the roads
will allow a six-months' return limit
on the tickets and stopovers where
ever desired in the towns of the
Northwest.

Asking for a speedy trial of the
Oregon-California railroad land
grant cases, the attorneys (or the
railroad and the Union Trust Com
pany, trustee of the mortgage
bonds, as well as for the Interven
ers in suit, some of whom claim to
be actual settlers on the land, re
cently appeared before Judge Wol
verton In the United States Circuit
Court at Portland.
Senator Gearln appeared for the
Trust Company, Attorneys Lafferty
and Murphy for the intervenors and
Fenton for the railroad company,
The latter will file a demurrer to
the Government's charges, but on
account of the crowded docket In the
Federal Court, It la Improbable that
the case will come up for hearing
before February. The docket now
Is filled with Jury cases until Febru
ary 1, and it will be Impossible to
hold a hearing before then. Three
different bills of Intervention were
filed some time ago on behalf of ap
plicants for the land, who were re
fused the sale by the railroad peo
ple.
The case was Instituted by the
Government to condemn the land
given to the Oregon-California Rail
road in a grant of 1868 for alleged
breaking of the grant's provisions.
Tbe Government's stipulation was
that tbe land was to be sold to ac
tual settlers only, in areas not larg
er than ISO acres to each one and at
not over $2.50 an acre. The Gov
ernment alleges that the railroad
company has broken every one of
these provisions, and on this account
is attempting to forfeit tlrs land to
the Government There are about
100 settlers on the land in whose be
half Attorney Lafferty is appearing.
Attorney Dan Murphy anl Leavoc-
good of Roseburg, filed long bills of
intervention a short time ago on. be
half of over 4000 clients who tire
snid o have applied o the railrotd
company for the land, agreeing to
pay $2.50 an acre for same.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE COMMISSION
At a meeting of the agricultural
faculty of the Oregon Agricultural
College on November 80, the request
of President Roosevelt's Country
Life Commission for suggestions that
might aid the commission In making
its report was discussed and the fol
lowing statement prepared:
If federal appropriations are to be
made for improving social and eco
nomic conditions in rural communi
ties, it Is recommended, first, that
they !e made to existing high
and normal schools for the purpose
of maintaining courses of Instruc
tion In agricultural and domestic
arts.and including business methods
and home sanitation, so that all pub
lic school teachers may have the
tranlng necessary for teaching those
subjects in the public schools.
Second, that In order to secure the
full efficiency of the agricultural col
leges and experiment stations, the
government should co-operate .with
the states in agricultural extension
work, this work to be under the di
rect supervision of the agricultural
colleges. With an adequate appro
priation a comprehensive system of
traveling agricultural schools, farm
ers' Institutes and free circulating II-
Draries could be maintained, and
publications Issued for free distribu
tion so that all Important discover
ies of the experiment stations could
be given to every farmer of every
state.

SUCCESSFUL FRUIT
WRAPPING MACHINE
A fruit wrapping machine has
been put In operation in California
which requires practically no atten
tion and automatically wraps the
fruit. The fruit rolls down a slight
incline to the operator, turning
slowly over as It approaches him,
and giving him an opportunity to
remove defective specimens. The
fruit is lifted and placed stem up
in rubber cups, which carry it to a
mechanicm operating much as the
human hands. It Is carried to the
paper being cut and printed from a
roll. A twist of the paper Is made
over the stem ends, thus cushioning
them to protect against Injury.. If
the machine becomes clogged It Is
stopped by a clutch operated by elec
tricity. A counting attachment reg
isters the number wrapped.
