The American stage to-day, and in the
well-written and pleasing musical

he has ample opportunity to display
the strength and control of his voice.
His impersonation of rowing, Ger

Emerald Isle" just in time to thwart
an English army officer in his we'll
concocted scehme to claim his title, is
equal to his ability to sing, and his
artistic loye-makihg is of the char.

Trains Will Transfer Near
Elsin Today.

After a blockade of railway traf-
fic for five days, caused by wash
outs and slides there is promise of
mail today, Saturday. The gang of
men working on the washouts
of track and bridges between here
and Lostine completed their job
Friday, aided by the Palmer log
ging train that brought a lot of
workmen and bridge timber to as
sist. One of the worst places was
in the swampy ground two miles be-
low town.
The train that has been at this
end Of the line all week went out
this morning and will meet the
La Grande train in the cut below
Elgin, where a big slide is still
| obstructing the track. Passengers,
train crews, mail, baggage and ex-
press will be transferred and the
trains will return to their starting
points. This will be the first out

day, and 1t is likely to be pretty
late arriving this evening.
The telephone line to La Grande
is out of commission again today,
as usual just when it is most
needed. There are rumors that the
main line was in trouble yesterday
but no definite information is OBJ
tainable.
The floods have subsidized in town
and the damages to bridges and
sidewalks are being repaired. The
bright, warm sunshine and wind OF
Thursday and Friday dried the road
except in low places. Saturday is

will be in orchards planted and cul-
tivated solely for apples and pears,
according to up-to-date and scientific
methods. He also declared that the
Northwest leads all other districts
in scientific orchard practice, which
will tend to centralize the industry
in this region, thereby making it
eventually supreme. He also states
that there will be no overproduc-
tion of fruit and has to support this
statement these facts: That the
consumption is rapidly increasing,
while the production is 40 per cent
less than it was 40 years ago.

mercial orchard. Find out what is

GROCERYMEN TALK
ABOUT ADVERTISING
PUBLICITY FOR THE COUNTRY
STORE DISCUSSED AT EU,
GENE CONVENTION.

At the Eugene convention of the
retail grocerymen of Oregon, one OF
the speakers who addressed the re-
callers on the topic, Advertising
Country Store" said he did not be-
lieve i'm the efficacy of newspaper
advertising. He said he had decid-
ed that out of the fulness of his
experience.
This, however, was not the exper-
ience of number of others. The
next man who spoke on the subject
said that in his town there were
three papers, and his store took a
good big space in all of them, not
out of loyalty to the town and not
out of charity to the editors, but
because it paid to do SO. He said he
was firm believer in advertising
in all its forms, and the newspaper
was one Of the very best forms.
But, he went on to say, this sort
of advertising which merely an
nounces what your business is and
that you handle staple and fancy
goods didn't do much good. The
advertiser must be ,wide-awake and
bright. He must say something and
say it strong. Furthermore, he must
make no promises which he cannot
and will not live up to. If he ad-
vertises that he has the best SER
vice in town, he'd better have the
best service in town, or his adver-
Using will injure him rather than
help him.
A third agreed with what the for
mer speaker had said, and went
still farther into the matter, touch
ing cleverly on some of the psychol-
ogy of advertising. When asked
how he would advertise, he replied
that 1t depended altogether ON the
nature Of the goods he had for sale.
If he we're striving to sell goods
for men he would make 1t brief. I'm
good. big type, catchy and striking.
for men are In a hurry and they
will not stop to read a long-winded
statement or descriptions. Get the
men at one dash or you won't get
them at all. With women, he went
on, 1t was altogether different. To
