AN AGE OF ADVERTISING

The advantages of newspaper adver-
tising is ably set forth by the Mime
apolis Journal in recent editorial on
ssSuccessful Advertising" The Jour-
nal says:
"This might be called the age of
advertising. Certainly never before
was so much effort and money spent in
trying to get the attention of the rub-
lie and secure its patronage by bus
mess enterprises of all kinds Adver-
Using Is an art which few people
understand, and upon which great
deal of money is expended without
satisfactory results. But judicious
advertising is one of the most profit
able investments that can be made
The advertiser is solicited from all
sides by the PROJECTORS of all sorts OF
advertising schemes. and he is wise
man who knows how to pick out the
best one and use it.
1'Probably no advertisers are more
experienced and have tried more kinds
of advertising, and spent more money
for that purpose, than the managers OF
railroads. Competition between rail-
roads has become very keen and the
ingenuity of the cleverest men in the
advertising business has been exhaust
ed in devising new and effective ways
of catching the public eye and direct
ing the business of the country, and
particularly the passenger business,
into the channels which will make it
profitable to the respective roads COM
peting for it. Millions Of railroad
money have been spent upon fancy
folders, startling flyers, or handbills
beautifully illustrated, books and
novelties of ever kind, and all sorts OF
special publications gotten ont
especially for advertising purposes,
and here is the result: The Joint
Treffic Association at recent meeting
adopted set of resolutions in which
they condemn the use of programs.
catalogues, prospectuses, circulars or
other mediums of display advertising
gotten out by societies, theaters, base
ball associations, commercial COM
panies, etc., and resolve in favor of |

papers and periodicals of general cir
culation, published at regular in
tervals.
"The men who have adopted this |
rule have not done it through any |
motive of sentiment or to please any |
body but themselves, but they have !
found that avertising is most effective |
when placed in those publications
which go regularly to the people on
paid subscription, and constitute |
legitimate established mediums of in
formation for the public on all SUBJ
jects, whether the news of the day or
such business information as is con-
veyed in the advertising of merchants,
and business people of |
all kinds. The general advertising
agent of one of the largest railroad
systems in this country, who spends |
on an average $780, 900 year in adver-
tising through his own Department. is

Journal recently that the most effective

THE hLICkIT1T IRIDE.

Not much wheat is going to The
Dallss this year. The sand this side
of the river makes the pulling of a
heavy load impossible; then, too, there
is the ferriage to pay. Those that are
not hauling to Columbus are going to
Lyle. Lyle is as near to Goldendale
as The Dalles. There is no sand or
boulders on this road and prices are
the same for wheat as st The Dalies.
A farmer is very foolish to haul to The
Dalles, unless it is the nearest market.
If farmers will stay away from there,
our neigh hors over the river will see
to it that the road through the sand is
made passable.-Goldenda Sentinel.
No doubt the condition of the roads
between here and Goldendale cause
much of the wheat raised in Klickitat
county to go to either Columbus or
Lyle, bat there is another influence
brought to bear that causes the wheat
to be hauled to those places. A pas
SADLY good road was once constructed
across the sand from the river to the
foot of tho mountain. This road
was built by donations from Dalies
merchants, and so long as the road was
maintained the greater portion OF the
Klickitat wheat and considerable
amount of the trade came here. Col
dendale merchants learned that they
could not compete with Dalles prices,
and to avoid competition set about to
tnrn the wheat in another direction.
As II result the county court of Klicki-
ta. county has been induced to keep a
man working on the road to Columbus,
so that it has been kept in perfect re
pair, while the road to The Dalles ha-
been neglected, and the bulk of the
wheat has gone to Columbus instead OF
coming here. There is no proba bility
that Klickitat county court will change
its policy to turn trade this way. so the
only way to get it is for The Dalles to
improve the roads from the river to
the foot of the mountain.

Minitree FowlkeS Guilty.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-Lee
Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans,
met tonight as a court-martial in
the case of Mr.. Minitree Fowlkes,
whose expulsion from the camp was
recommended by the committee that
investigated the charges against him
in connection with the history com
mittee and the Massey resolutions.
1t Will be remembered that the
recommendation was not acted upon
at the time because it was found
that the case could only be reached
by a court martial, and a committee
was appointed to review the evidence
and report to such court. This
committee reported to night.
1t found Mr.. Fowlkes not guilty OF
receiving brlbe of IS and not guilty
of false swearing as to giving the
Massey resolutions to a newspaper
reporter, but guilty of conduct un
becoming a gentleman of procuring
his appointment on the history com
mittee, and OF false swearing relative
TO the interview at Mr.. Massey's
boarding house. The court dissented
from the report as to the rest of find
ings, and at late hour the argument
was begun on the question of pun
ishment.
The verdict of the court is that Mr..
Folkes be reduced from the commap
dership OF the camp to the ranks; be
reprimanded, and suspended from
membership for eighteen months.

Destitute in Cuba.

Consul General Lee has made a re-
port to the Secretary of State, i'll
which he says there are 1,607 Amer
lean citizens in Cuba dependent upon
charitable assistance. They have

$4,000 appropriated by Congress. OF
the number reported by General Lee
$50 are in the province OF Havana,

6O4 distributed through other por-
lions of the island.
General Lee says that in making
provision for the relief of these citi-
zens more than ST, 500 week must
be expended. he has drawn $4,000
of the sum appropriated, of which
two drafts for $4,000 each were drawn
this month.
One of the reasons assigned by
General Lee for the restitution
among Americans in Cuba is the Goa

mated. Hon. John F. Ryan succeeds
himself as Speaker of the House and
Hon Henry 7. Wickham is the presi-
dent pro TEN of the Senate. State
officers will be chosen next and prob
ably be nominated in a joint caucus

in his downfall. Lynn, the present
Keeper OF the Peniteutiary too. il is
believed, has such lively fight on
his hand that he will not succeed
himself. With the Offices disposed OF
the members will be expected TO get
down to their work quickly, as much
is expected of them at this session.
1t fact, more seems to be expected OF
this Legislature than has been of any

duciDg the expenses OF the State and
in finding new subjects of taxation

lature has no easy task before it, but
1t being generally conceded that it is
a strong body, it is to hoped, that
wisdom will characterize its delibera-
tions and that laws may be enacted
conducive to the best interests OF the
Commonwealth.
Advices received at the time of
going to press, are to the effect, that
in the democratic caucus on Thurs
day, DR.. j. w. Southall defeated Mr..
Massey by vote of II to As on the
sixth ballot, and that Lynn was de-
feated by Mr.. George NJ. Helms on
the first ballot by vote of 50 to 46.
Prof. Brent,we are reliably informed,
will be an assistant of DR.. Southall.
