AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
GIVES DISTRICT
FINE'BOOST
Replying to an inquiry re
garding-a certain local prop
erty, Mining Truth, of Spo
kane, in its issue of June 16th.
says:
“We have treat faith in the
Portland Canal district and
believe it will-eventually be
one of the greatest producing
districts in the world."
Cuming from a Jottrhal'pos
sessing a most excellent repu
tation for reKabilitiy in the dis
semination of mining news, the
statement is one that should
be of considerable benefit to
this district. Mining Truth
possesses a vast audience of
mining men and others inter
ested in mining, hence it is
not » be doubted that ‘ its
gratuitous “boost" will reach
the eye of a great number of
readers eind should go a long
way tusMud encouraging in
terest in local mining develops
asent
AH the world has heard of
the'Portland' Canal district but
IbA indeed outside of the dia*
Itict possess more than a mea
ger knowledge of its potenti
alities as a source of wehfth
production. As stated by Min
ing Truth, the district will
eventually become one of the
■ greatest mineral producing
> areas in the world. Develop
ments during the past, two or
three years leave no doubt re
garding its possibilities in this
respect Although less than six
years has passed since the op
ening of the ..great Premier
gave the first real impetus to
local mining, the district has
already developed four contin
uously producing mines -add
two others are on the verge of.
production, in addition there
are literally dozens of1 prop
erties which display every
possible indication of ultimate
ly becomingmines. All that is
needed to make'the district
fulfill the-expectation express
by Mining Truth is labor- and
an intelligent expenditure of
eaptial in development. This,
fact, however, is but little
known in the outside world,
hence we cannot refrain from
expressing our appreciation
to Mining Truth for assisting
our own humble efforts to let
the world know that this dis
trict is one of the greatest
mineral areas on earth and
presents unlimited possibilities
for intelligent mining develop
ment.

ADVERTISING AND
PROGRESS
Advertising has proven itself
to be the barometer of pro
gress.
It has not been long since
business advertising was as se
verely critidsed and ridiculed
as boasting of personal quali
fications. At the 4&me time
there was as little faith in the
claims of advertisements as in
the claims of the braggart.
Only the quack and the im
poster, who had everything to
gain and nothing to lose, then
resorted to advertising.
Business is ever the standard
bearer and apostle of progress,
and so it was business which
discovered that advertising
was a vital factor in all
growth. When advertising was
admitted to the fireside of
business it was not the big
business of today. Big business
trices its beginning with its
employment of advertising.
In its conversion to advertis
ing'business was soon follow
ed by industry, commerce and
the professions. The benefits
of advertising had made them
selves mapifest in each step
forward.
That was the evolution of ad
vertising, until today advertis
ing plays a part in every phase
of life and is the working in
strument of all except the
doctor and the lawyer, who
still 'consider it "unethical” to
advertise for business. He may
place his “card” in the week
ly newspaper in patronage of
the publisher, but it is pro
feesionally forbidden for the
doctor or the lawyer to inform
the public of his capabilities.
Nothing in life has attained
perfection, and evolution is an
eternal, ever-continuing ad
vancement. The evolution of
advertising will not stop with
its adoption by medicine and
jurisprudence, but that adopt
ion will establish another
milestone of progress.
COLLEGE FEET.
Somebody’s always taking the
joy out of education-and
there is little enough joy in it
at best. That the feet of col
lege girls are steadily increas
ing in size is the latest bomb
to be hurled in the line of
march of fair ones on the way
to knowledge.
The girls’ feet should not act
that way. There is no call for
them to swell out just, because
their owners are crowding
their brains with learning. The
size of the shoe is not a vari
able that moves with the size
of the hat. Mental understand
ing should not necessarily
be commensurate. It’s all
wrong!
Just for Fun
So many try to kill time by
talking it to death.
Ben Oien says he knows a girl
t who is so dumb she thinks a
baseball fan is a cooling device.
There are many remedies but
few cures.

About the only old thing

Size isn’t everything. Some of
the smallest vocabularies can
rip off the most hide.
Well, if there is a future life

lot of our laws hereafter.

express them, and a good
proof reader.

The clothiers still make those
snappy things for young fel

Well, perhaps the pedestrian
should have a pistol to pro
tect himself; but how could
he use it with both hands
aloft?
“Look at that man Charles

“That aint the Charleston,
he’s throwing a fit.”
Doctor: “I can’t cure your hus

Housewife: “But couldn’t you
just give him something that

“There is this about cheer- j

costs nothing, and frequently ;

Congress is discussing changes
in the Volstead act. We won

The last thing a suburban

DON’T SLEEP: “Just think of
it” exclaimed Flora; “ A few !
! words mumbled over your;
; head and you’re married.”
“Yes,” agreed Dora, the cyni
cal. “And a few words mum-;
bled in your sleep and you’re
divorced.”
A WARNING
There, little girl, don’t cry,
With these folks standing by; \
Conceal your troubles with a

Or you may wash your make

I While you never can tell what j
a woman will do, the gossips I

FLAPPER PHILOSOPHY
There were not enough men
at the dance to go round, and
one young lady observed:
“What a whale of a difference
