THE HEATHEN CHINEE

An Appeal to Reason

The Wall Street Journal, which for sew
eral years past has been noted for its
sane and able editorials has one in it's
Thursdays issue entitled IAN Appeal to
Reason" 1t is in part as follows:
1T is stated that the administration is
clearing decks for action against the large
corporations. based upon stringent Leg
islative regulation. 1t Is to be hoped that
the report is not true. There is ample
law in the Sherman act for really needed
regulation; and further disturbance of
the country's business by Washington is
capable of working infinite mischief.
I'm perfect good temper, and with ap-
probation of the sincerity of the Presi-
dents motives, may it be submitted to
him that the business of the country
needs rest? Trade is contracting in~all
directions. Profits are smaller than they
have been in many years The railroads
are earning less in net, and paying out
more in wages and taxes. The great steel
industry is cutting prices on all prod
ucts.
MIR. Wilson appears to desire the resto-
ration of competitive conditions OF half
century ago. Apparently he does not see
that the tendency of the worlds develop
ment has been all toward cooperation
and consolidation, the latter resulting in
just those economies of management
which are necessary to check the por-
tentous advance in the cost of living
renewal of government suits at this
time, together with the disturbing influ-
ence of restrictive legislation. is well cal
culated to bring about crisis of the first
class, something, in fact, like the panic
of 1887, which arose out of President
Jackson's well meant but i'll advised
meddling, for the merest party advantage,
with the banking system then existing.
Perhaps the best intelligence of this
country is concentrated in its business
rather than in it's art, it's letters, or it's
politics. Surely Mr.. Wilson is not SO
small minded as to fiout good advice,
merely because it comes from Wall street.
There is more foresight in that much
abused area than in all the rest of the
country put together. Will he believe that,
not because of the wishes of the rich
(who can protect themselves well enough),
but because of the employment and the
necessities of the poor, it is here suggest
ed that the administration wait for re-
suits before embArking upon radical en-
terprises easily calculated to shake the
countrys commercial structure to its very
foundation"

Irrigation Projects Approved.

ASalem dispatch to the Journal
says: The state engineer has ap-
proved the several applications
of the Harney Valley Reclama-
ton company for water for its
$4,000 acre project in Harney
valley.
For the reclamation of this
project, four or six reservoirs
will be required, said State
Engineer Lewis. "The two large
reservoirs will be located on Sill
vies river, which together with
reservoirs located on Poison and
perhaps one on Emigrant creek,
will serve to irrigate the Silvies
river unit of the project.
''The project is naturally divid-
ed into two units of about equal
size, and a reservoir only slightly
smaller than the Silvies river re-
servoir will be constructed on
Silver creek, which flows directly
into Harney lake.
"The reservoirs contemplated
for the Silvies river unit are the

Why Advertise at All

1t is well first of all to know
what advertising really is.
Advertising has been defined
as the act of publicly announc-
ing a fact, and has further been
defined as salesmanship on
paper. While both of these
are more or less true, advertis-
ing is nothing but the giving
of business news with the pur-
pose of creating a new want
or supplying an existing want.
1t is readily seen that there is
no limit to the accomplishment
of good advertising, as there
is no limit to the wants already
created or that might be Great
ed. The merchant is a dead
one who does not realize that
there are starving millions
waiting for him to satisfy their
wants or create for them new
wants. This advertising idea
to create new wants and satisfy
existing wants is no new thing,
as the Egyptians used hand
bills and posters made of
papyrus 5000 years ago. Print
ling was invented less than
500 years ago, and the news
papers were then started.
Soon afterwards advertising
became associated with print
ing. The advertising idea orr
ginated over 80 centuries ago.
Some present day merchants
haven't got the idea yet. With
present day opportunities to
advertise there is no limit to
what one may accomplish in
business lines. The local mer-
chant may easily double his
local business. He has through
the local paper wonderfully
cheap way to gain publicity.
There is no newspaper read
like the local paper, especially
by the women, and the women
do over 80 per cent of the
Ntrading. j

If the number of settlers grows
in proportion with the land de-
velopment, further railroad con-
struction will be justified. How
ever, the Hill people have no
plans for immediate activity, he
declared. Several surveys have
been made south of Bend and
Mr.. Lupfer is going with the
party today to point them out
and to explain the possibilities
of further development.
Through the financial institu-
tions of which Mr.. Hill recently
secured control he will be able,
in the near future. to finance
many legitimate development pro-
jects in various parts of the West.
He has always taken n deep in
terest in Oregon and believes
implicitly in its future.
"Our operations in this terri
tory will not interfere in the
least with work along similar
lines now being done by the local
banks" said Mr.. Hill yesterday.
I'm fact, we will cooperate with
them"
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Davidson
have been instrumental in the
last year in bringing over 1000
settlers to Oregon. This they
have done through the Oregon
g. Western Colonization Company.
1t is to inspect some of the pro-
perty of this concern that the
party that left here last night
has gone into the interior. When
they return they may have some
definite plans for investment of
funds in this state.

Hill to Help Develop

4 projects awaiting finances to put
them through. Irrigation pro-

bring thousands of acres under
profitable cultivation and make
homes for many thousand people

as Mr.. Hill. He will find hearty
endorsement and cooperation in
his beneficent enterprises. Such
work as is outlined below, pub
lished in recent issue Of the
Oregonian, shows the spirit and

in automobiles this morning.
They will devote two days to a

While the Hill interest have no
plans for immediate railroad ex-
tensions, Mr.. Hill pointed out
yesterday that the way the Cen

in that territory a necessity in
