ADvERTIsING.-The benefits of adyer-
tising were plainly noticeable yesterday,
says an Astoria paper, when at one grocery
store which pays the printer literally each
month, full corps of clerks were busy all
day, while at another the proprietor sat
mournfully in the door reading a paper,
while his clerk paced the floor when the
rain was falling and played ball when the
sun shone. Still some people begrudge the
paper few dollars per month for blowing
their business.
STRUCK Ir.-H. {. Clement left on the
Tuesday train for his home at Tacoma,
Mrs Clement remaining with her parents
at Shedd. "Clem" has had good fortune
staring him in the face lately. One of his
first enterprises at Tacoma was the pnr-
chasing of forty acre tract, or some one
else's money, for $50 an acre, which he
eventually sold for $1,000 an acre. We
understand he has property eft. after hav-
ing sold nearly 100000 worth, that If
kept few years will probably make a
millionaire of him. No one deserves il
more than Mr.. Clement and Albany peo-
pie will rejoice in his success.
