The Travelling Man.

Whatever he may have been in the
past the travelling man of today occupies
most important position in relation to
mercantile affairs. He is numbered by
many thousands and represents the in
terests of many millions. He is found
in all classes of business, representing all
lines of wares, and his influence upon
matters even outside of his own vocation
is strongly felt. The travelling man of
today. to be successful must, in the first
place, be a gentleman in deed and in
action. Then he must be possessed of
business acumen and tact, be ambitious,
active and tireless. He finds it to his in
terest to keep informed on current topics,
and is a storehouse of news and informal
Gon.> He must be pleasing in address and
neat in appearance. s,s,-p
All these he is, as he now exists, in the
best type. In the drug business the tray
eler is u very important factor. There
are about 1,250 directly connected with
the wholesale drug trade of this country,
this number not including proprietary,
pharmaceutical or druggists sundries
houses. These 1,250 travellers are an ex-
pense to the wholesale druggists of about
s., 600, COO, and we may be sure that if
they were not a necessity and of value,
commercial statesmen would not exist

Don't think that you have finished
reading your newspaper when you have
gone over the published kilograms, local
reports, editorial comments, and sketches
of life and character. First of All. the
News" is a good motto in journalism,
because people naturally want to know
about events, more or less sensational,
of general interest. But to the thought
ful there is another mine of information
and also of instruction. 1t is in the ad-
vertising columns. There are concerted
and exposed the daily happenings which
the reporter does not find. Look through
the advertisements of the CHRONICLE,
and you will learn more about the life
OF the people whom the paper reaches
than can be ascertained in any other
way. The advertising columns will give
you the news not as the newsgatherers
find it, but as the people themselves un-
consciously but truthfully depict it at
their own cost and for their own benefit,
without much thought, if any, of its
public value. Try the experiment of
looking for news of the current of life in
the advertising columns of your news
paper and see if thereby you don't gain
valuable information from time to time,
and even if you don't find news of direct
personal interest to yourself, as you are

a ooward1y Attack ON a Chinaman.


On the morning of the 5tn inst, as
The Dalles and Prineville stage had
reached point about four miles north
of Prineville, six masked men rushed
into the road and ordered the driver,
John Miller, to stop, and then with
drawn pistols commanded A.. Doom, a
chinese passenger and proprietor of a
hotel in Prineville, to get down from his
seat. The Chinaman obeyed when one
of the men struck him a severe blow in
the mouth with the butt of pistol. The
Chinaman's hands were then bound be-
hind his back and in this condition he
was struck several times, the men
he promised to leave the country and
take all the Cinnamon in Prineville with
him. One of the assaulting party then
cut off the Chinaman's cue, and after
again trying to make him promise to
leave the country and take all the China
stage and ordered the driver to move on.
Doom then went as far as Hay Greek
and returned the same evening to Prime
vile. The affair has caused intense ex-
citement around Prineville. Efforts
have been made by Sheriff Booth and a
number of others to discover the parties
to the eowardly transaction, but without
success, though some pretend to know
all about it, and pretend they have evil
dence sufficient to warrant them in
| saying who the guilty parties are.
