The big outfits like the Hanley
following and P. L. S. company
of Harvey county send their re-
representatives. out to boost for the
settlement and development of
Oregon and then get into the
manger and horn off everything
in sight. They have contested
the water users of Bear valley
and Silvies valley and likely in
the end will own all of the water
like they do a great part of the
land and then go braying over
the country talking about settle
ment. Tne big land holdings are
the curse of eastern Oregon and
their action is doing more to
bring about the single tax,
where the whole burden of tax
alton is thrown onto the land
than all other forces combined.
They will either change their
tactics or the people will hand
them the opportunity of paying
all of the taxes, when they hold
up vast areas of land from settle
ment they ought to have to dis
gorge with the tax money. - Blue
Mt. Eagle.
The Eagle boys are a little hard
on our big land companies in this
country and look at the dark
side. The step to adjudicate the
water rights of Silvies River is
the first step in the right direc-
tion toward the development of
this big section. OF course the
big companies are going to fight
for the water they consider be-
longs to them but it will be found
in the final reckoning they are
not going to have any more water
than they can beneficially use.
You know, boys, courts are TAX
ing a different view of the water
problem these days than in the
past and no one is going to hog
water.

MIR. Lane an Optimist.

Reviewing Secretary Lanes
land policy the New York Times
says he "has written what is al
most a prospectus for the devel-
opment Of the National resour-
ces." 1t calls him AN optimist
as u speculator in futures and
cautious as a conservationist,"
and says:
Practical men will find some
things to their liking. and those
who think that conservation is
more important than use will find
something to their dislike.
Practical men know that con-
servation is use and that use is
the highest form of conservation.
Being a practical man. who
knows the public domain from
personal acquaintance. not from
books, Mr.. Lane has learned this
truth. He does not regard as a
corporation ogre every man who
wishes to use any of our natural
resources, but puts the man to
work on such terms that. for ex-
ample, if coal mine is developed
the people get coal at competitive
prices, no coal is wasted and the
operator makes money. He puts
a corporation to work developing
power on terms which insure that
the more power he develops the
more money he makes, yet the
cheaper power becomes to the
consumer. He would not forbid
use of coal lest we exhaust the
supply, but he would use it with
out waste and at the same time
provide a substitute to be used in
the time when there is no more
coal.
The conservationist who fears
to use our national resources lest
they be exhausted is a pessimist
and a miser, for he imagines that
the future has nothing in store
for humanity and that we must |
hoard what we have lest we
starve. Mr.. Lane is an optimist,
who uses what he has. but,
knowing it cannot last forever,
uses it carefully and seeks a new
-Oregonian.

not honest, or sincere. He is
neither fool nor crook but he
should be despised because he
has tried to enforce the law.
Strange accusations. 1t must be
because he Is too honest and active
He remembers too well his oath
Of office. He is too decent. He
has u foolish notion about being
straight. He is not n dissem-
bier, a hatterer or a jelly fish.
He seems to hold to the idea that
laws against immortality and COM
mon deceaey should be inforced
and for this reason he comes in
for his excoriation. His indict-
ment is his justification. His
accusers have hurled a BOOM
erang. We do not endorse all Of
his official acts and at times
have criticised him harshly for
what we believe was the mis-
take of honest judgement. When
he makes an honest mistake then
we can make an honest criticism.
Vests political strength might
possibly be torn assunder by an
attack on some of his policies.
You can not break a man down
by accusing him of being decent
and honest and trying to enforce
the law and unless the line of
attack is changed the next

What Poor Ads Lose

II What will a merchant lose
lin one year if his salesman
\ was only one-half efficient?
Suppose a salesman worked
ten hours a day he would work
600 minutes in a day. If the
salesman was only one-half
efficient, or did one-half the
work he should do, he would
lose his employer 300 minutes
a day. Now if the salesman's
salary is $500 per day and he
lost his employer one minute
a day for a year he would lose
his employer $1.74. But if he
loses his employer 300 minutes
a day for a year he loses STA
x300 or 1922 year.
In this way it is not difficult
for a business man to tell
what he loses with poor sales
men. Poor statesmen have, in
many instances, been one of
the causes of business failures.
Now the merchant must
ever keep in mind that there
is a direct relationship be-
tween a salesman and an ad-
vertisement. Both aim at the
same result sales. Both are
guided by the same principals.
The only difference is that
more ability is required to sell
goods through advertising. If |
a So. 90 a day salesman can lose
his employer $522 in one year
by being one-half efficient, 1t
is interesting to know what a
SO advertisement that is only
one-half efficient loses the
Suppose the merchant puts
a $500 ad in a paper with
1000 subscribers. If the ad
didn't produce a single sale or
stimulate business it was Who'll
ly inefficient. But if the ad
were 100 per cent efficient it
would influence a large per
cent of the 1000 subscribers,
and secure temporary, if in
deed not permanent, custom
ers. 1t is easily seen that
hundreds of dollars may be
made by an efficient $3. 90 ad-
vertisement, and hundreds OF
dollars may be made by an
efficient $500 advertisement,
and hundreds of dollars may
be lost by an inefficient 300
advertisement.
It is more important to have
efficient advertisements than
% have efficient statesmen and
t absolutely necessary to
business to have efficient
Ialesmen. VI

on the other hand what is il
going to do to large number of
legitimate business concerns in
which many dollars are invested
and the men have been a factor
in the building up of the sec ions
where they are in business. If
the home merchant can adjust
himself to the new order of
things and compete with outside
houses he will enjoy a larger
trade than before.

Relics of Battles.
CAREFUL observer who

A CAREFUL observer who has visit
ed many of the worlds great
battlefelds declares that the greater
part Of the mementos, OF which there
seems to be an inexhaustible supply.
are wholly spurious, but so well are
they simulated that the average pur-
chaser is content. Pieces of shell are
made by casting hollow spheres and
cracking them with sledge. The
fragments are then treated to a bath Of
diluted nitric acid and allowed to
gather rust in the open air.
The appearance of verdigris is easily
procured, when desired, by the use OF
copper in solution. The authority men
toned was shown several baskets OF
pieces Of shells alleged to have been
found on the battlefields Of the Franco
Prussian war. They all seemed to be
at least forty years old. The acid had
slightly honeycombed the edges. and
they looked exactly as ff corroded by
long burial under the soil. Such tribes
as single bullets and mimic balls have
in the past been made with the great
est ease in an ordinary mold. They
are dented with a small hammer, and
given the requisite discoloration by re-
mainine for a few days in a bucket OF
lime. The more elaborate relics, such
as sword belts, spurs, pieces OF har-
ness bayonetS, canteens, ETC., are turn
ed out in times of peace by individual
workmen, who make a good pront out
of the business.
