A BIG SUMNER TRADf.
And Just How Business Men
Can Get 1t.

In spite of all the talk about
hard times, dull seasons, and gen.
eral business stagnations, it often
happens that individual enter
pise is quickly enulated by 9TH
ers until the whole business world
is in active motion again. One
bold advertiser can start crowd
of others advertising, because
they have to in order to protect
their trade. We have cases in
mind on this point. The in
stinct of self protection teaches
them that if they wish to hold
their trade they must counteract
the effects of the new firms adj
vertising. Farmers from Phiio-
math and Alsea pass right through
Corvallis and buy large quanti-
ties of supplies in Albany, simply
because the advertising literature
of the firm patronized keeps
pouring into the hands of the con-
sumer. This is a lesson that
should be laid we'll to heart by
praters about ''hard times" and
'dull seasons" Say what you
will, enterprise is contagious. It
only needs one holder than the
rest to set the pace and the others
are sure to follow, must follow,
in fact. Try it and see. The
stores will be crowded, money
will be spent, extra sales people
will be needed, aud things gen
orally will improve in spite of
your prophesies about the dull
summer season and your fears
that Parker may be elected. All
this goes to prove that bad times
can be made better right here and
now by hustling, by creating
trade, by energy, activity and
judicious advertising in the GA
zETTE. We have always con-
tended that many merchants are
responsible for their own dull sea-
sons. Let us give you a little
good live advertising and see.

Richly Designed Curtains.

A new drop curtain is being
painted for the Opera House by
Messrs Deeds & Funk, OF San
Francisco. The lease on the old
curtain expired some time ago
and this new one which will be
far superior in beauty and at
.tractiveness is designed to take
its place. In the center of the
curtain appears a beautiful water
scene and all around are adver-
tisement locations which are be-
ing taken by business firms of the
city. The curtain is a beauty
and will add greatly to the ap-
pearance of the stage and will be
a profitable expenditure of money
to those who purchase ads there
on. These gentlemen have put
in curtains at Roseburg and
Eugene that are claimed by
these cities to have given great
satisfaction.

For the Flag.

Interest in the flag contest is
on the increase. The public
schools are ahead by over 500.
The Firemen come next with
1904 and o. A. c., third with
5000. When it comes to ques-
ton of deserts the Firemen stand
far in the lead. The public
school has two flags already. o.
A. c. is we'll able to afford one,
but the Firemen who work with
out pay, brave dangers and take
great risks in saving lives and
whenever call comes, whether
it be at night or in the midst of
j meal respond with true heroic
instinct and start on a run for the
hose cart, often running until
completely exhausted. The Fire
men have no flag of their own
and as they are making every
effort to improve the fire service
of the city they deserve public
recognition.
The contest will close August
81 at 3 p. III. One vote may be
cast for every ascent purchase at

The Argonaut says: THE

Bryan is supporting the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate en-
Enthusiastically. He says ''the
Republican platformis the equal
of the Democratic platform on
the most vital and important
issues, and that the nomination
of the Democratic candidate for
President of the United States
was achieved by crooked and in
defensible methods" Truly a
friend in need is friend indeed.
The Russian War Steamer St.
Petersburg, held up two British
Steamers IN the Red sea, presum-
ably or the easy plea that they
carried arms and ammunition
tor the Japanese. Russia had
better attend TO her little diff
Guilty with Japan, and let Eng
land alone. The opinion of the
wild and woody West is that
Russia has already bit off as
much as she can chew.

Nobody can doubt but that
Mr.. Parker the present Demo
cratic candidate for President is
nnalterably opposed to trusts.
Wasn't he financially boosted
by August Belmont, director in
thirty-fve different trusts? How
the trusts will tremb1e in their
boots, when Belmont and Parker
commence their raid on them.
We hope, for the sake OF harmony
that they will go easy with the
railroad and mining combinations
owned by Grandpa Davis in West
Virginia.

8, Washington, March 12.-E. B..
Critchlow OF Salt Lake, formerly as.
sistant United States attorney in
Utah, was the first witness Of the day
in the Smoot case. He resumed his
statement In regard Ito conditions in
Utah and prosecutions Of polygamists.
A letter from Moses Thatcher to Pres
ident Snow in regard to the platform
on which he had waged his campaign
for senator was introduced and Mr..
Critchlow referred to threats which
had been made against Thatcher in
editorials in the Deseret News. -.
Following the history of the state
down to Mr.. Shoots candidacy for the
senate Mr.. Critchlow said Smoot an
nounced his candidacy first In 1900 ana
that the announcement met with de-
ctded opposition from Republicans
and others. Ia 5,s
The objections were manifested, ac-
cording to the witness, at the Salt
Lake elections for members Of the leg
islature and in expressions from the
Ministerial Association Of Utah. Nor
mons as we'll as non-Mormons were
opposed to sending an apostle to the
senate and it was well known to all
that the candidacy of Mr.. Smoot was
not received with favor. The witness
said that laymen in the Mormon church
felt that the candidacy of an apostle
would be unwise, when it was charged
that quorum of the first presidency
and apostles were living In open def
| ance of the laws against polygamous

MAY BE BLOCKADE RUNNERS.

Reported That the Ships Bought by
Siberian Company In Which w. r.
Perkins 10 Interested, May Be. Used
az, Blockade Runners. y;@g
The Minneapolis Times says: Re-
ports from Tacoma say that the three
Norehern Pacific ships recently sold
to the Northwestern Siberian COM
pany are to be used as blockade run
nes to. carry supplies from America
to the Russian army. aA4.f SIS, =,
John Rosene, president Of the COM
pany that purchased the steamers,
has but recently returned from St.
Petersburg and while there it is said
he made an arrangement with the
Russian government to furnish the
army in Siberia with supplies in case
war was declared. The purchase of
the Northern Pacific ships is said to
be the first move in the fullfilment
OF the agreement. 49, .-..s.-
Pacific coast railway and steam
ship men are, fully convinced that the
Siberian company is going to utilize
its new possessions as blockade run
ners. The ships, which were pur.
chased ostensibly for the Alaskan
service, are we'll equipped for flibus-
tering expeditions. They are fast
runners and carried fairly large
cargoes. .. .a .-.&. ..-,,
The Northwestern Siberian COM
pany was reputed to have but little
capital, SO that the announcement of
the ru..rslse Of the NJ. lcrn Pacific
ships at a cash figure of $500, OOG &C.
casioned great surprise among steam
ship men. Many inquiries have been
made as to the source frc1n which the
money was supplied, and the general
opinion is that Russia is back of the
company's sudden. expansion Last
year the company had USE for but one
steamer and that ship WAS leased
from another company. .1..s-..->.
According to coast railway officials,
the Northern Siberian company will
soon begin to carry supplies to the
Russian army. President Rosene of
the company is on familiar terms with
many Siberian military officers. and
his friendship for the Russian govern
ment has already gained him many
valuable concessions. ,>. m...z.
It is the purpose of the company, it
is said, to load cargoes of supplies for
points ON the Kamonala peninsula.
The supplies will be ostensibly for the
miners working in that vicinity, but
really for the Russian soldiers. In
stead of landing their cargoes on the
Kamonatka peninsula, the boats will
sail up the Amur river. where the
much welcomed supplies will be re-
ceived by the Russian officers.
If the plans of the company are
those that are attributed to it the first
successful voyage the ships make will
entirely recompense the promoters
of the Northwestern Siberian line for
their outlay OF 100000. President
Rosene denies that the company con-
templates entering the ;filibustering
trade and emphatically states that the
line will enter legitimate trade in
Alaska. .- ILL.,. I'll

After consuming days in discussing
the proposition to refer to committee
the resolution calling for an investi-
cation Of the p%ostoffice frauds the
senate adopts the motion unanimous
ly. So we suppose this matter is now
out of the way. The resolution will
hardly be again heard of at this SEES
sion. Now if the senate could be in
duced to take final action on the
Panama treaty it might be able to
get down to business. The republican
programme for this session, though,
is to do as little business as possible.
Their will not be much legislation
beyond passing the necessary appro-
priation bills. That party does not
want to make any more records be-
fore the presidential election.
