Why Men Fail.

Eight important and prominent
business men were recently, inter-
viewed by writer for Success" a
splendid monthly magazine, on the
question WHY Men FALL in Bush
ness?" The magazine printed its
queries as follows:
why do ninety-fiye per cent. of
American business men fall short of
success?
DO the causes lie in outside con-
ditions, or in themselves?
Are the markets available to-
United States merchants capable of
supporting only five per cent. of
these merchants?
rs competition too strong to be
oyercome?"
The men who were interviewed
are Mr.. Edward B. Hatch, president
of Lord & Taylor; Mr.. Henry A..
Haveweyer, president of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company; Mr..
Alexander j. Hemphlll, vice-president
of the Guarantee Trust Company and
others, and Mr.. Charles H. steinway,
of the Steinway piano house. Mr..
Steinway's reply was as follows:
THE main cause of failure is lack
of knowledge. Another common
cause is lack of capital. Many men
do not know their business, and,
singularly enough, they do not seem
TO know their ignorance. A man
may knowone eide of aaiusiness, and
yet be unfamiliar with another side.
He may he good manufacturer,
and poor tinancier. He may know
his stock, but not know how to sell
1t. He may know how TO sell, but
be ignorant Of credits. believe in
partnership in business. 1
Mr.. SSteinways reply reverses the
old adage that little learning is a
dangerous thing and in the applica-.
tion he makes 1t is seen that lack
of 1t is dangerous thing for the
success and prosperity of the bust
ness man. While his application
may not always prove to he the rule
It is nevertheless pertinent in the
case of large number of the bust
ness men who do not make success
OF their businesses. Mr.. Steinway's
words ought TO help some of these
men out OF their difficulties. 1t

Strange as Fiction

In Germany there is a news
paper published in the interest
OF, all rheumatic sufferers, and
each week symptoms and
treatments are discussed by
both lalty and medical men.
One scientific contributor re-
lated that a formula originated
especially to relieve kidney dis
eases, had almost phenomenal
virtue in the treatment of all
forms of rheumatism.
Its action is to favor the
kidney secretions and stimulate
their filterlng capacity, so that !
the poisons and acids which
cause rheumatism are elimin-
ated. This accomplished the
blood becomes pure and rheu-
matism vanishes. No secret Is .
f., made Of this formula, which Is
composed OF one half ounce
fluldex;Tact buchu, None ounce
compound fluid balmwort and
two ounces compound syrup
sarsaparilla, mixed in a bottle
and to be taken in teaspoonfuI
DOSES after each meal and ono !
at retiring.
A local druggist states that .
any honest pharmacist can I'LL !
the prescription, and expressed
the opinion that many of the
standard remedies had been
discovered by mere accident.
Doubtless every rheumatic and
kidney sufferer will be grateful
for this item.

chimerical idea by any means, but
entirely feasible. The route would
be on a very favorable grade, and
the cost of building would be mini
mum.
am fully convinced of two
things: That if the people of To-
ledo and Siletz sit still and make no
effort to help themselves on this
matter that the next ten years will
see this project no further ahead
than at present; while | am as
firmly convinced that if an ener-
getic effort would be made that d
railroad to Siletz would be an
assured fact inside of two years. |
am aware that some effort toward Il
road to Siletz has been made by Il
local firm, but that seems to have
developed into merely a timber
speculation proposition, and should
be considered on that basis only as
long as it tends to retard the country.
1t is time to awake and to help
ourselves. From Toledo to the
west end of Salem and Falls City
railroad is only a distance of about
35 miles. The nine miles from To-
ledo to Siletz would be a legitimate
link in this road. Let us make the
supreme effort of our lives to secure
this road. 1t means millions of
dollars in improvements in Lincoln
county. 1t means mills and fac
tories; it means the development
OF fine agricultural region, and it
further means the opening to man
ufacture of the finest and largest
belt of fir and cedar timber on the
Coast today. To sit still is to rust
out, and to see the more wideawake
communities take advantage of
these opportunities that we let go
by.
Now is the time and here is the
opportunity. Shall we profit by
them or sit idle and lose all?

The Time and The Opportunity

There comes a time in the history
of every town and community when
Time and Opportunity combine for
the advancement and welfare of
such place. 1t is then that if a
wide and wise public spirit exists in
such community that advantage is
taken of time and opportunity and
all the results o. successful endeavor
are garnered by the wise people.
In the grasping of these opportun-
tiles a people must be bold as well
as wise, and they must have that
spirit of self reliance that will over
come what may seem to be unsur-
mountable obstacles and difficulties
To the unbiased observer the time
has come in the history of Toledo
and Lincoln county when our people
must awake and take hold of the
opportunities that present them
selves and forward the development
of the county. The most vital
matter that effects Toledo and the
whole northern half of the county
today is the building of a railroad
from Toledo into the magnificent
Slletz country. Heretofore, per-
haps, opportunity has not been ripe
for this project, but now it only
awaits the energy of our people to
go forward with the initiative in the
matter. Tributary to the Toledo
gateway there are four billion feet
of merchantable timber in the Siletz
country. In addition to this there
is twice as much agricultural land
as there. is in all the balance of the
county. A young empire is lying
dormant for the want of touch of
the magic wand of transportation
to awaken it to life and energy.
But this wand will not be waved
without an effort. We have waited
too long now, and every day that
we wait longer will only render the
task harder and perhaps in a short
time hopeless.
The thing for the people Of To-
ledo and Siletz to do is to organize
and build the nine miles of railroad
between Toledo and Siletz. 1t is
not an impossible task by any means
Capital can be enlisted with the
proper effort. If man like w. j.
Wilsey can inspire such a railroad
movement as we had here two years
ago, why cannot our own people,
working in our own interest and for
our own vital welfare inspire such
results as will interest capital to
build this road and develop this
magnificent country. 1t is not q

Volume XVI.
A Shipyard at Toledo.

George c. Walker, the ship
builder, has contract to build a
schooner 120 feet long, 26 feet wide
with 200 tons capacity. He re-
ceived bids from several sawmills
on the coast for lumber, but the bid
of the Yaquina Bay Lumber Com
pany being the lowest, it was
awarded the contract, providing ar
rangements could be made here for
building the vessel.
Saturday evening a meeting Of
the citizens was called by the Toledo
Development League to see what
could be done in the way of provid-
ing ship building ways. Oliver AL
tree, manager of the Lumber Com
pany, made the following PROPOSE
ton to the people: That if the
town of Toledo would donate
$4,000 toward the building of the
shipyard the Lumber Company
would build it, the Toledo develop
ment League to assume control of
the shipyard for the period of ten
years, after which the yard would
revert to the Yaquina Bay Lumber
Company. 1t is estimated that it
will take in the neighborhood of
$780, 90 to build it. On a vote
being taken it was decided that the
town would donate the necessary
$4,000. A committee was appoin-
ted to solicit the funds. Yesterday
after all contracts were signed, the
committee got to work and within
an hour had the necessary amount
raised.
Work on the yard commenced
yesterday morning. Mr.. Walker
has rented house for himself and
family and will soou occupy same.
This industry means much for
our town. 1t will give employment
for great many men for several
moths. This vessel alone will re-
quire 10 men, and one vessel is by
no means the extent of the ship
building here as Mr.. Walker already
has a fishing schooner 45X14 feet to
build for Chambers Bros. of New
port, and has prospects of several
o, her vessels to build, and we an
ticipate the Toledo shipyard will be
occupied with vessels in the course
of construction or repair most of
the time.
Toledo as usual did the right
thing by assisting this enterprise.
Our people are always wide awake
to take up anything that will assist
the town and county in the way of
development.

already and nave sent to McMurray
for more. had just enough room
and did not attempt to arrange un-
til every box was opened.

and photograph of the display to-
night. The best apples l will put

apple fair early in December. |
wish you would try and get as many
good varieties of apples by that
time and | will take them up.
They all know me up there and |
can have my own way and maybe
get gold medal. If | do not it

PLAN CELEBRATION
CONTINUED from Pare u

citizens of the Territory that through
their different organizations, CONNER
cial and other, they urge upon Gov
ernor Frear the appointment Of a
thoroughly representative committee
to give consideration to this matter.
If the suggestion is deemed feasible
and desirable, an organization should
be effected as soon as possible and
the work of preparation commenced.
A fund of at least Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars should be provided,
of which amount, the Federal Gov
eminent might well be asked to fur
nish one-half.
No general exposition should be at
tempted, though a thorough exploita-
ton should be made of our products
in a special building, an auditorium
would also be needed. The time
should be, say, July LIST to 18th,
1912, July 4th being set as Naval
Day. 1t should be possible to have
the entire Pacific Fleet in our wa.
ters at that tine. together with q
large number Of foreign men-of-war
The President and Secretary of tn,
Navk should be invited MS well as AL
of the members of the Senate ant
House Committees on Military Al
fairs.
Our Consular Service could alst
he called upon and representative
from commercial hodles of every city
and port interested in the Pacific
Ocean traffic would be present.
During the time of the celebration
special inter-island excursions coult
be run so as to give our visitors al
