Tierney, F. J. Deaue, J. E.\nAnnable and Bruce White.\nJames Johnstone, as one of the special committee appointed to look after\nthe Great Northern service south, reported that no actiou had been taken as\nthe service had been amended. From\npersonal observation he thought the\nnew seryice very good Indeed nnd quite\nup to the mark which Nelson ought to\nexpect.\nA communication was read from\nagent general Turner In London asking\nfor a larger number of pamphlets treating on British Columbia and its fruit\ngrowing capabilities,\nA letter from the London chamber of\ncommerce advised the coming congress\nof chambers of commerce of the empire on July S, 1900, and asking that the\nNelson board of trade be represented.\nThe following schedule of subjects to\nbe discussed was Included, reading as\nfollows: 1, Commercial relations be\ntween the mother country and her colonies and dependencies. 2.

The secretary was Instructed to\nhand the communication over to the\ncity clerk for action.\nPresident Lay here stated that the\nboard generally was in \u25a0some arrears on\naccount of the advertising of the city\ndone last summer. After some discussion a resolution was passed assessing\nthe individual members of the board of\ntrade sufficient to liquidate the indebtedness.\nNext tlio question of systematic advertising was taken up . James Johnstone said that he had written a letter\nto the Field In answer to numerous enquiries. He had there Btatod that the\ncountry was good but that no man need\ncome 'here unless he had a capital of\n$5000. That letter was published on\nDecember 2. Since that date his postofflce box had been chock full of letters.\nHe therefore urged that instant action\nbe taken, as the best season for coming\nhere was in the spring. This might he\ndone by conjoining the secretaries of\ntho boards of trade and tourist associations.\nT. G. Procter said he had stacks of\nletters from all parts of the world and\nthis on account of tho work or the\nTourist association. There might be\nan association of interests between the\ntwo organizations as far as advertising\nwas concerned. A sum might be raised\nby the merchants but the city council\nshould also support since all were benefitted.\nI. G. Nelson and S. M. Brydges also\nspoke of numerous letters received.\nF. J. Deane said the way to advertise was to write descriptive articles\nwhich had a news value. Statistical\nmatter was not worth much. Newspapers would always publish well written stuff. The man to get was a man\nwho could write, who knew this country and who understood the old country. If such a man were helped by cuts\nlie would gain access to numbers of\npapers.\nLeslie Hill agreed with Mr. Deane.\nOld country papers would accept newsy\narticles. But they must have some literary value.\nFred Starkey thought a committee\nshould be appointed to investigate the\nmatter.

F.\nJ. Deane and E. D. MeDermid.\nF. J. Deane raised a question as to\nwhether there wore any matters to be\nbrought before the Associated Boards of\nTrade by the Nolson hoard. The associated boards might meet before another meeting of the Nelson board. The\nsecretary was directed to ascertain the\ndate of the convening of the associated\nboards.\nBOTH SIDES\nCONFIDENT\nCzar's Government States\nStrikers are Without\nFunds or Sympathy\nReds Declare That Government Does Not\nRealize Magnitude of the Danger-Army\nis Involved in the Movement\nSt. Petersburg. Dec. 20.\u2014The proclamation of a general strike for tomorrow at noon has created the most intense excitement. If it can be successfully Inaugurated and maintained, the\nrevolutionaries are confident that it will\nbreak the government's back.\nIn government circles, however, confidence is expressed that Llie proletariat\norganizations cannot effect a complete\ntie-up and that the strike must be of\nshort duration. This hope seems to be\nbased on the theory that the extreme\nprogram of the \"reds\" has alienated the\nsympathy of a largo proportion of the\nreal workingmen and also upon what\nthey claim to he tho absolute knowledge that the organizations are without\nfunds. The government calculations,\nhowever, have proven (before to be at\nvariance with the true situation, and the\nstrikes declare that the government Is\nagain hopelessly ignorant of the magnitude of the struggle confronting it.\nTheir plans are exceedingly ambitiou-s.\nFrom the nature of the appeals of the\nleaders to the troops It is evident that\nthey expect to precipitate a crisis in the\narmy.\nThe central committee of the railroad\nmen of Moscow determined the issue last\nnight by voting in favor of a strike. It\nwas telegraphed over the railroad linos\nthat the employees of 22 roads are\nready to stop all traffic.\nThe decision is to close everything in\nthe empire, railroads, tuanufaot uries,\nwholesale and retail stores and all government works, except the water works.\nTbe bakeries in the cities, however, will\nnot be closed so long as they do not\nraise their prices. If thoy do raise the\nprice of bread, even the bakeries will\nbe closed. It was proposed In Moscow\nto exempt the electric light plants, but\nthis was defeated. Although the blow\nis timed for tomorrow noon, tho strike\nleaders do not hope to bring the life\nof the empire to a standstill by a -single\nstroke, but they will labo for a gradual extension of tho strike movement\nThe inhabitants are hurriedly laying\nIn supplies of food to stand a siege.\nMoscow. Doc. 20.\u2014The strike was inaugurated hero promptly at noou. All\nthe men walked out of tlio factories and\nthe mills, and tlio trains of the six railroads were left standing lu the stations.

J. Robertson b Co.\nBaker Street\nNelson, B. C.\nRAND'S REQUIREMENTS DISCUSSED BY ROBERT HAMMOND\nA scheme has beeu originated for utilizing the Victoria Falls, on the Zambesi river, to supply electricity to the\nRand mines.\nIn hia paper on \"Electric Power for\nthe Rand,\" read before tbe British Association Mr. Robert Hammond was\nrather inclined to the view that the\ncostly works would not permit of electrical energy from the Falls being supplied at a lower rate than the present\nmotive power. Somo grounds have since\nbeen adduced by the promoters of the\nproject to show tbat this opinion is erroneous; but, apart from this particular\npiece of criticism, Mr. Hammond's paper is a valuable contribution to the\nsubject of electrical power for Lhe Rand,\nwhether generated at a central station\nnear Johannesburg or at the Victoria\nFalls. The points raised were; Firstly,\nwhether the working of the mines could\nnot be cheapened by the greatly extended application of electric power; and,\nsecondly, whether such electric power\ncould be more economically produced by\neach mine or group of mines laying\ndown its plant or by means of centralisation of generation in works serving\na number of mines.\nIt appears that there are already In\nuse in tlie Rand mines electric motors of\na total capacity of about 20,000 h.p., and\nthe number is being rapidly augmented.\nElectric energy is at present used for\nunderground and surface pumping, for\nworkshop driving, and in the cyanide\nworks, for pumping the water, the solution, and tbe slimes. Mr. Hammond\nnot only advocates the adoption of electric winding, but believes that almost\nevery operation at present performed\nby steam power could more economically\nbe effected by electricity from a central\nstation. Working conditions on the\nRand mines are very favorable to the\nuse of electricity. Having agreed tbat\nthe mines could he run more cheaply by\nan extended use of electrical energy, Mr.\nHammond proceeds to consider whether\nono central station for all, or separate\nworks for groups, is the better plan.\nA conservative estimate of the Rand's\nrequirements Is 400,000,000 h.p. hours\nor, say, 300.000.000 unils (kilowatt\nhours) per annum. I^oad and diversity\nfactors are very favorable to tho centra] power bouse plan. On the basis of\na consumption of 900.000,000 units per\nannum ami a forty per cent load factor\nthe sum of the consumers' maximum demands would be 82,200 kilowatts. On\ntiio assumption of a diversity factor of\n60 per cent, and a twenty per cent loss\nIn distribution and transformation, a\nplant capacity at the generating works\nof 60,000 kilowatts would be required.\nMr. Hammond therefore thinks that provision should be made for seven generating sets, each of the capacity of 10,000\nkilowatts, each set to be capable of sustaining an emergency overload of 20 per\ncent.

For the\nmore distant consumers step-up transformers would be used and energy transmitted at 30,000 volts to transforming\nsubstations. Two such sub-stations\nwould bo required, one on the East\nRand and one on the West Rand. The\nenergy would be transformed down to\n0,000 volts, and distributed to consumers\nat that pressure.\nFor the purpose of the estimate a\npower factor of 85 per cent is assumed,\nhare copper overhead wires being used\nthroughout, carried on steel structures.\nTho loss in transmission which has\nbeen -worked to throughout is about 7\nper cent. The 30,000 volt feeders to the\ncast, and west sub-stations are each arranged so as to be 50 per cent in excess\nof requirements, so as to provide for reserve. The 6,600 volt lines radiating\nout to consumers are able to transmit\nthe energy with a seven per cent loss\nover Ave miles, If load Is taken off at\none end, or a course of 10 miles If tapped off evenly all the way, Assuming\nthat the demand from mines on the eaat\nof Johannesburg, would, roughly, be\ndouble that from the west side, the ideal\nposition for the power-house is about '\neight miles to the east of Johannesburg; 'but If it were found necessary to\ngo to Vereeniging, 35 miles from Johannesburg, the energy would be transformed up to 70,000 volts. The whole 50,000\nkilowatts would he transmitter to a\ncentral point in Johannesburg, by means\nof three sets of transmission lines, each\n| consisting of three cables. Six of these\n[ cables would be sufficient to transmit\nI the whole 50,000 kilowatts, with a\/loss\n\u25a0 of only 6.7 per cent. The other three\n; cables are therefore available as spares.\nIf Vereeniging is chosen as the site,\nI Mr. Hammond thinks the supply will\n; probably -be given at 0.6d. per unit.\nj The question would then resolve itself\n1 Into a purely commercial one, and the\nmine-owners would have to decide\ni whether it will pay them 'better to\nI draw their supplies from a central sta-\n. tlon. or to combine to use their own\nelectric Installations. There Ib little\ndoubt, in Mr. Hammond's view, that\nthose who are at present only using\nsteam power wuld find an economy in\nadopting electrical power.\nThe Canadian Pa-clflc railway are now\nrunning ii sleeper on trains Nob. 43 and 44,\nbotween Nolson and Siocan City, for tlio\naccommodation of llieir putroim.

Dec. 20,\u2014The prisoners\nforgot that they were convicts and remembered only that they were men on\nBlackwell's island early this morning,\nwhen the male prisoners, marshalled by\ntheir keepers into a fire fighting and\nlife saving corps, bore from the flaming floors of the women's wards five\nhundred and ninety-four frantic women\nand from the hospital beds fifty more.\nStarting in the sewing room of the\nworkhouse, and from a cause which has\nnot been definitely decided, the fire ihad\nreached a fierce blaze at 2 o'clock when\nit was discovered. The flre engine on\nthe island proved inadequate and a call\nfor help was sent to the city department. Seven engines were sent over\nbut were not sufficient to save the women's workhouse from destruction.\nOn the top floor of this building wero\ncells for the women and every one had\none or two prisoners when tho flre occurred, These women became frantic\nwith fright and were soon choking\nwith the dense smoke that filled all the\nhalls, and their cells. That most of\nthem did not perish is due to Uie recent\ninstalatlon of a system by which in\nemergency every cell In a tier can be\nopened simultaneously, when the extent and danger of the blaze became apparent the warden marshalled hia regular fighting force of employees, aud\nsoon they were at work. The flames\nspread so fast, however, that this force\nproved hopelessly inadequate. Then it\nwas decided to trust the male members'\nsense of manhood and they bore tho\ntost well. Released from their cells\nand marshalled into small bodies they\nentered the burning building und went\nat the work ol! flre fighting and rescue\nwith utter disregard to the danger to\nthemselves. Tho flames were crackling\nall about them and they plunged through\ntho dense smoke, when they brought\nout In their arms tho last of the women\nprisoners.\nSHANGHAI QUIETS DOWN\nDifficulty as to the Mixed Tribunal Still\nExisting.\nShanghai.

Those\nmines situated within 35 miles of the soutli\nAustralian border, have produced no less\nthan JLX.WO.UW in mint-rat value, they have\nyielded \u00a310,*10,000 in dividends, und though\nworked for over 21) years, greater riches\nremain Lo be garnered, says lhe Financier.\nDuring tlie last 29 years thero has been\na vast accumulation of tailings ou the\nBarrier range, ll Is all the while being\nadded lu. lt has long ben known to represent a hoard of wealth, but the realisation thereof lias only recently ben accomplished. Tlie problem'was how to extract\nthe spelter or Impure -zinc\u2014a product\nwhich at tho present time is quoted at\n\u00a32S per ton. EVflll at \u00a310 llie spelter resources of the Broken Hill might prolll-\nably compete with the ziuc production ot\nthe world, But how were they to be mined\nto account? Thai wus a tantalizing difficulty. Many experiments were matle;\nmany processes were tried. Any and every\ninventive genius had his chance of tame\nami fortune. But the riddle was not\nquite solved until the Cnnnii'hue I-Bradford process demonstrated that zinc extraction was practicable, and certain to\nbe very prolltable.\nA. D. Carmlchael, the Inventor of the\nprocess, is lhe chief metallurgist for the\nBroken Hill Proprietary, lie had been\neyeing these aggravating mounds of tailings for a long time and puzzling out the\nelusive problem. Patience and persistent\nendeavor were finally rewarded, aud It is\nthe Carmlchael-Bradford process with\nwhich a .start Is being made to win tno\nwealth from tiie residues uf the Broken\nHill mines. Tiie enterprise lias ben undertaken bv tiie ainc Corporation, which\nlias a eapiial of JEIM.UOO in .CI shares, The\ncompany la officially located In Melbourne\nbill its managers are the London & Atis-\ntni.llnn Kxplornrlon ijompany -'(Ho.wick'.i\nMorelng and company. The Zinc Corporation seems to have made an exceedingly\ngood bargain. Broken Hill is now Cully\npersuaded of 'that, .and u. mor-y&veri\ngreatly stirred by the prospeot of a hup-\np]emeiif*iry Industry of Importance. Till\ncorporation concluded Its contracts in thi\nnit-It Of time, for had the price Of metal*'\nthen been equal to the ruling quotations\nihe conditions' would, In local opinion, have\nbeen made twice us onerous for the or\u2122\nTht\npurchasers went Into iiie\n\u25a0*. ii may be tnken for gra\nluisiiie;^\nned thai\nlompany.\ndid not take a big interest in llie concern-\nto say nothing of the managomont-wlth-\nout looking al the proposition very closely.\nOnlv after a thorough investigation by\nn. a. Hoover on their behalf of zinc\nrecovery processes at Broken I III I\u2014ouly\nafter continuation by C. G, Hertzlg, the\nlinn's smelting metallurgist\u2014did they arrive at a conclusion.

The two million tons upon\nwhich a start Is to bo made are reckoned\nto contain something like \u00a310,000,000 worth\nof metal. That Is something like a bonanza to begin with, It seeans colossal\nin proportion to tho company's capital or\n\u25a0\u00a3350,000. And then there are three to four\nmillion tons In reserve. The two million\ntons nre available for Immediate exploitation. They are accumulated residues re-\nuli'lng neither mining nor crushing in connection with their treatment for ziuc.\nIt is expected that thc treatment will\nstart next March at the works, which are\nbeing erected near the mines on a site\nof 100 acres acquired by the corporation.\nIf it be seen that there is money in zinc\nrefining us well as In smelter production\ntho company will undertake that branch\nalso, but meanwhile It will make the best\nterms possible for refining.

Considering lhat the Broken Hill\nseems llkly to dominate the world as a\nzinc producer, it is perfectly certain that\nany and every process tending to the maximum of recovery and the minimum ot\ncost will be urged on the company's no-\nlice for acceptance.

Can be had at all grocers at t\nv<*rv low prii\nPreserving wood with chemicals has\na double interest for mine operators.\nIt ls a method of reducing costs and it\nwidens the market for some of the products of the mines. According to statistics reported by the Santa Fe railway, 11,503 ties (sleepers), says the Engineering and Mining Journal, were\ntreated chemically iu the United States\nin 1885; 1,281,331 in 1895, and 13,772,246\nln 1904. The growth of this industry\nwas naturally slow at rust, pending demonstration of the efficiency of the treatment, which required the lapse of 12\nyears; since then it has been remarkably rapid, especially In the lust two\nyears.\nThe matter is of interest to metallurgy, inasmuch as zinc chloride is the\npreservative commonly employed, and\nthis constitutes a new use for spelter\nand one that promises to attain a good\ndeal of importance. About one pound\nof zinc chloride per tie is required ou\nthe average.\nAnother new use for zinc ls in the\npreparation of pipe joint empound, for\nwhich zinc gray (zinc dust) ground in\noil Is being extensively used in France\nand has been found to possess certain\nadvantages over the lead compounds,\nwhich have gained for lt the approval\nof the Societe d'Etrcouragement Pour\nllndustrle.\nDiscussing the same subject, the Mining Reporter of Denver Bays:\nThe use of wood in construction work\nof all kinds has always been, and probably always will be, very extensive.\nBy -reason of the fact that it is easily\nhandled and readily adapted to various\nsituations, it is improbable that In certain lines It will be superseded iby any\nof the metals. One of the drawbacks\nto its use, which has always been recognized, is the fact that but comparatively few woods resist the effect of time in\nany very remarkable degree. With a\nview to increasing tbe life of timbers, a\nnumber of means have been suggested,\namong which the preservation, by means\nof zinc chloride, has found considerable\nfavor, and is quite widely applied.\nIn brief, the process consists in extracting the soluble matter from tho\nwood and replacing it with a solution\nof zinc chloride. The, process may be\npradtically carried out approximately\nas follows: The timber to be treated is\ncharged in large air-tight retorts say\n100 feet long and six feet in diameter.\nIt Is then subjected Lo tlio action of\nlive steam under a pressure of about\n70 pounds per square inch for a varying period of time, sufficient to loosen\nand thin tho sap and soluable juices in\nthe wood. After this has been accomplished, the steam is withdrawn and, by\nmeans Ot suitable air pumping xael.-n-\nery, a vocui p i-s produce-l In the retort,\nas a result of which the sup Is extracted from the timbi.-i's After this is\ndrawn from Uo retort, a 2 j.-cr cent t'pc,\nchloride aolittTuli is run in under heavy\npressure which is maintained for a\nsufficient leug'.li cf ttui\" lo thoroughly\nimpregnate the timber-! with tne ftt-\nservative solution. After, this has been\naccomplished, the zinc chloride Is withdrawn, and a 2 per cent solution of glue\nis run in under a similar pressure, The\neffect of this latter treatment is to thoroughly cIobo up the pores of the wood\nin order to retail the zinc chloride. In.\nsome plants a solution of tannic acid is\nalso applied to the timbers, though the\nvalue of this Is questioned by some, and\nthe practice cannot ibe said to be general. In certain arid regions i,t is questionable also whether the application of\nglue or any other sealing solution is\nnecessary, inasmuch as the idea of Its\napplication is merely to prevent the subsequent solution of the zinc chloride in\ncirculating waters. Following the treatment with the sealing solution the pressure of the retort is released, and tlie\ntimbers are withdrawn, stacked and permitted to dry.\nThe effect of this treatment is, undoubtedly, to prolong the life of bhe\ntimbers treated. Not only is their period of usefulness In-creased, but a number of the physical properties of the\nwood appear to be improved by the\ntreatment. As an instance of the latter it ipay be cited that tests made on\nthe tensile strength of treated and untreated timbers, indicate that the treated timbers show some slight superiority over those not treated.\nPlants for the treament of timber, as\noutlined above are comparatively simple,\nconsisting merely of the retort, as described, together with the necessary\npumping machinery, piping, valves, etc.,\nand vats for making up the solutions,\nA -similar plant may be made in portable form, to permit of tbe treatment of\ntimber at tlie point where it is cut, or\nany other advantageous location.\nter of policy that will stand in the way,\nit is a matter of religion. Stpain Is the\n\"richest jewel in the pope's crown.\"\nThe queen of Spain must be a Roman\nCatholic.

Alfonso XIII. during his recent visit to England, is Baid to have fallen in love with\nprincess Ena.

The company will be\ncomposed of men actually engaged ln fruit\ngrowing, thougii not necessarily aa their\nonly occupation. Each member will subscribe for at least one $5 share, and many\nfor a much larger amount, but no individual member Is permitted to hold more\nthan a tenth of the whole stock.\nThe capital stock of the compnny will be\n$5000, of which 25 per cent, of $1250 must be\nimid up. The objects of the society include all tlie conceivable purposes for\nwhich fruit growers may wish lu cu-oper-\nnt'e. The Immediate co-operative action\nof the company will consist of collective\npurchasing of all materials required by\ntlie members, seeds, nursery stock, spraying materials and crates and boxes tor\npacking, and collective shipping nnd selling by officers of tiie association, lt is expected that by such means the members\nWill be able to buy what they need at\ngreatly reduced prices, and dispose or\ntheir product on much better terms, than\nany of them could do individually.\nNegotiations are In progress and will\nprobably be satisfactorily concluded by\nwhicli all the crates to bo used by tlio\nmembers of lho association, will be manufactured In Nelson by the Kootenay Wire\nWorks company,\nA long discussion took place on a communication from the East Kootenay Farmers' Institute asking for joint action in\npetitioning the government to investigate\ntiie title of the British Columbia & Alberta Reclamation company to the lands\nheld by them in the valley of the Kootenay river. Tlie farmers of that district\nprotest that the company has neglected\nto perform the undertakings In consideration for which the land was granted,\nalso that while only such land was Intended to be granted as Is subject to annual\noverflow, tiie company's surveys include\na lot of bench land to which they have\nno rlghl, aud which, therefore, should\nbe thrown open fur settlement.\nIt was explained by T. O. Procter that\nthe company Is stlli at work on the scheme\nof reclamation by widening the outlet at\nthe various narrows ou Kootenay river\nand has therefore not neglected its duties,\nand that the Inclusion of corners of bench\nland wus necessary in running the survey\nlines.\nAt the meeting there were present James\nJohnstone, president, T. Morely, secretary.\nT. Al. Sturgess and Mrs, Sturgess, A.\nCameron, J. Lalng Stocks, T. G. Procter,\nJ. Williams, S. S. Fraser, G.' Fleming.\nJ. McPhee, J. E. Annable, j. W. Holmes,\nO. J. Wlggin of Creston, VV, J. Salmons,\nC. II. Bourke and several others.\nT. Morley reported for. the committee nn\nincorporation that excellent progress was\nlining mnde, that the subscription of the\nnecessary amount of stock was assured.\nand that all would be ready for completion by the date of the annual mooting.\nThe secretary also read a Icltcr front J.\nR. Anderson, deputy minister of agriculture, in which was stated thait nothing In\nthe uci forbade the payment of ten pur\ncent interest mi subscriptions, though the\nrato seemed rather high,\nMr, Morley reported thai T. M. StUrgOBS\nand himself hail visited New Denver as\ninstructed. They visited many orchards\nand were most hospitably entertained. A\nwell attended meeting of fruit growers was\nheld at which both delivered addresses on\nfruit growing generally and un the benefits of co-operation.\nDetails of Incorporation were then discussed. It waa resolved to make the capital of the company $5000, aud that CO pur\ncent of that amount should be subscribed\nat the start. Membership was restricted\nto those engaged In Iruit farming, a\ncommittee, consisting of James Johnstone,\no. J. Wlggin, J. Harris, u. ii. Bourke\nand S. S. Fraser, was appointed to complete tlie canvass fur collection of suo-\nscrlptions.\nAn offer from the board of trade of tlie\nuse f the board rooms for meetings or\nthe association at the nominal rental or\n$15 per year was accepted. The seating capacity of the council chamber has been\novertaxed at nearly every meeting.\nA grant of $10 was made to T. Luscombe\nin recognition of tlie services rendered hy\nhim to the society,\nA levy of $1 per member was made, and\npromptly paid by all present, to settle\nsome outstanding accounts, the balance to\ngo to the secretary, \"as a small token or\nrecognition of the invaluable services performed by hlni during tlie year.\nDiscussion followed on a letter from K.\nS. Bevan of Creston, secretary of tlie\nEast Kootenuy Farmers' Institute, which\nasked for the endorsement by the association of a petition to the provincial government to annul the charter of .the British Columbia & Alberta Reclamation company, and to declare the lands now held\nby that company In the Kootenay valley\nopen for settlement. The request was supported by O. J. Wlggin,\nT. G. Procter explained that the company\nwas still at work devising means for pie-\nventing the annual flooding of the lands\nround the south end of Kootenay lake.\nbv widening the outlet ait the various\nnarrows, Procter, 9-Mlle point and Grohman creek. It was hoped that the cited\nwould be to carry away the surplus water\nin live weeks instead of four months and\nincrease the period of cultivation by the\ndifference.\nNo notion was taken on the request as\nthe petition is not yet drawi^up.\nAfler another long discussion on the\nbest kinds of crates, J. W. Holmes was\ninvited to manufacture them of the kind\nand dimensions approved of at tlie last\nmeeting, at n cost of $llf> per thousand.\nNo order could ho given binding the association for next year, but Mr. Holmes\naccepted the understanding, The association, then adjourned to Jan. 3, lOOO.\nPLANNING ADVERTISING CAMPAIUN\n(By J. Angus Macdonald)\nThe first thing to do is to llgure out how\nmuch money is to be spent in the advertising campaign. This Is quite a matter ot\nindividual judgment\u2014no one should be as\nwell posted on tills as the advertiser Himself, for he knows best the resources at\nhis command.\nHowever, some talk of percentages may\nnot be out of place.\nTho average American retailer spends\n3 per cent of his gross receipts in advertising. I have known eases where b, ti\n7 and sometimes ns hlgli au io per cent\nwas Bpeni; but of course these were ox-\ntvemp enses, such as opening a new store,\na new UnB of goods, or where It was essential to make an extra good nnd strong\nImpression upon thc public. True, some\nretail stores seem to get along fairly well\nwith a one per cent expenditure, but the\nmost successful seem to belong to tlio\nthree per cent class.\nDuring nn Interview with one of the\nworld's leading circus advertisers he toid\nme that from 35 to 40 per cent of the\ntcroaa receipts were spent In advertising.\nIn other words, |f tho elrcUB took in $*0t-\n000 per day. about $4000 of It wont back into\nadvertising. Which Is quite a tidy sum\nwhen you come to think of It. 1 believe\nthere are some patent medicine nnd general advertisers who regularly spend this\npercentage\u2014at any rato, very nearly\u2014and\nft must pay them for them seem to advertise with cheerful regularity OJid liberality.\nBut to got back to my first proposition.\nSmokers'\nSupplies\n*\nWe have a full\nsupply of pipes\nand cigars suitable for Xmas\nGifts.\nQueen Cigar Store\nThe merchant or business man about to\nenter upou au advertising campaign, has\na better knowledge of and is a better\njudge of his resources than any one else.\nTherefore, he should havo a pretty clear\nIdea of the speelticd sum he is about to\nspend.\nThe next point is to consider the methods.\nFor tlie -\"taper there Js no medium so\nsensible and satisfactory as his local paper.\nIt constantly circulates among the people\nhe wishes 'o reach; It is clean, dlgnitted\nand effective as a medium to carry his advertising message, it should go down as\n\"Number Ono\" on his list. Por thc mail\norder or general ndvorLlser It too is excellent, for without it the section It covers can scarcely bo said to be advertised\nIn.\nFind out what tho space costs In your\nlocal papers. Do not go into a cheap paper\nbecause the advertising rates sound\n\"cheap.\" When you come to llgure It up\nand compare what you got out of one or\nthese cheap papers with a good paper having fair ratos, you may presently conclude\nthat the \"cheap\" rates are not cheap at\nall\u2014In fact they are dearer than the other\npaper. As a general proposition the paper\nwith a circiflaiUIn .and 'Influence that\namount to anything Is quite justified in its\ncharges, no matter how high they may\nseem to the uninitiated outsider.\nHaving settled with the business department on details of rates and positions,\nthe next point Is to prepare the advertising and determine Its size. This, or\ncourse Is governed by circumstances, it\nit Is a sale to last for several days or\nweeks, \"put your best foot forward,\" use\ntbe largest space at tlrst. The same may\nbe said of an opening. It Is a good point\nIo make a good first impression upon the\npublic mind, then to follow it up wllh advertising so sustained that this excellent\nfirst Impression Is strengthened.\nDo not use up all your advertising arguments In lhe first ad. or two; have some\nIn reserve for future occasions. Much ot\nthe early part of the campaign should tie\ngiven up to the digging up of such arguments\u2014to a deep study of the merits of\nyour proposition\u2014to a consideration of the\npoints most likely to Impress the public.\nAnd in presenting these points use easy\nbusiness English, tlie kind thai can be\ngrasped by readers In an instant, illustrations are good; if you nre going to use\nthem remember that the cost of a good\nand poor picture is pretty nearly the same,\nbut the effect Is quite different, select\ntype that Is legible and graceful; or rather,\nlet il good printer or advertising nuin do\nit. Endeavor lo havo Individual advertising, a distinctive style of set-up so thai\npresently people will Instantly recognize\nyour ads. by I heir very appearance.\nRun (lie sale several days or several\nweeks, as long as It pays. Run the opening several days with the same idea in\nbrief. If you are Introducing a new brand\nof goods to s e.liy, keep it up until the\nstuff is Introduced with a thoroughness\nthat Is unmlstnkcabto und f-o evident from\nits snle. A little whitewash of advertising will not do this. It takes sustained nnd\nsystematic publicity to accomplish this\npurpose. If it Js an autumn, Christmas or\nany season's campaign let ft be kept up\nevery week during this season with unfailing energy and conviction regarding the\nmerits of the goods advertised, as proven\nby the very Interesting copy used in the\nliberal advertising spaces taken.\nVIEW OP A MATERIALIST\nDr. Osier Poohpoohs the Authenticity ot\nDeathbed Visions\nNew Vork, Dec.
