Now that the campaign for "Buy It In Oregon City" has fairly started, It might be well for me to pan so and pon der for a short time as to whnt benefit there Is to me from such a plau. Let It be assumed for the sake of argument that up to this time we have been buying much of what we needed In our home and office from an out side concern, yes, from Portland. We hadn't given much though to what the loss meant to Oregon City because we had bee.i enabled to make selection from larger and what we considered at the time bettor stocks and qualities than were carried by the local mer chants. Price seldom entered Into our mind, because we just naturally con cluded that we were saving money. ! Now, Isn't this a condition of mind that existed with many Oregon City people up to within a week ago, and even ex tats at this moment because they have given but little sober thought to the matter of buying at home? Who will henent if we spend our ' dollars at home? It really sounds non sensical to ask such a question. Can a lone dollar be spent In this town but what almost a dozen people will bene fit from such expenditure? Suppose it goes to the merchants; after be has paid for his wares, his clerk gets a slice from that dollar; the clerk in turn pays a portion of what he got to his butcher; the butcher pays It out for help; the help takes It to the shoe man or the clothier, they in their turn hand It to some other dealer, and al most before the original owner knows It he has that dollar back In his jeans. Wouldn't we be agreeably surprised many a time if we would but mark the dollars that come into our bands In having possession of them time and pening day after day with the man who trades at home, and that' is one of the reasons he does trade at home, for he knows that he receives Just as much benefit as does the merchant Did you ever attempt to discover what benefit accrues to you from pa tronising the merchants in the large cities, particularly in another county, and the mail order houses? If so, can you name just one Instance of where you have received a permanent bene fit? Tho dollars spent with them are Just like so many dollars thrown away, so far as your having any hopes of see ing them again. Huve, you ever heard of the large city stores paying any taxes to help keep up your city or county which means better roads and better bridges, although their vehicles and convey ances are doing much to tear up the roads with the loads of goods that are brought Into your city each day? Have you ever heard of these concerns hir ing any of your local citizens for their employ in your town? Have you ever heard of them owning property here that they might be assessed for street and other necessary improvements? Have you ever seen them pay a dollar to any Oregon City landlord for either house or store rent? The people are not entirely to blame for their attitude In buying so much out of the city in which they reside. While ignorance of what the local stores contain In the way of stocks and quality forms one of the chief reasons. another and equally as prominent Is the fact that they do not receive the Invitation such as is extended by the merchants of the big city stores. Time and time again within the last two weeks Instances have come to the time ago. Yet that very thing Is hap-1 attention of The Morning Enterprise of where local people have either bought out of the city or else were Intending to do so when their attention was called to the fact that such an article of equal value could be purchased in Oregon City and quite likely at a less price than that charged In the large city store. Invariably the answer was: "Oh, I had no idea that Mr. So-and-so carried anything of the kind." But how did she know that k'ich-and-sucli a store in Portland carried it simply because the latter had advertised it and not only advertised it once, but many times as It was doing with everything It carried. Hundreds of Portland papers are circulated In Oregon City every day and they carry page after page of ad vertismenta, attractively designed and tastily Illustrated, bo that the house wife attention is naurally drawn to them at a glance, which glance lin gers until the housewife becomes obessed with the idea that here is just what she wants and to get it she must go to Portland. Oregon City merchants must make the people acquainted with what their stores contain and what they are able to get their customers. There are many good forms of adver tising, but chief and best of all Is the newspaper, and this is attested to by the biggest and most successful estab lishments of the country, which are spending many thousands and even millions of dollars annually in this one line. Beginning tomorrow The Morning Enterprise will publish from time toj time interesting stories concerning Oregon City's industries and what it will mean to the city and its people for us all to patronize them to the ex clusion of all others. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 16. Thirty- four men were entombed today In the Northwestern Improvement company's coal mine at Ravendale, 35 miles south east of Seattle, as the result of un ex plosion of coal dust In the main slope. Early -tonight four men had been re moved by a rescue team sent by the United States bureau of mines from Seattle. One waa dead, but the other three were revived by the use of put motors. Rescue parties were working indus triously to reach the 30 men still un accounted for, who are believed en tombed in the third level. Additional rescue teams dispatched from Roslyn and Cle Elum. 100 miles east of Ra vensdale, reached Ravensdale early to night Shortly after 7 o'clock tonight the rescuers succeeded In penetrating as far as the third level, where the 30 missing men were believed entomber. At the entrance to this level they found Domlnik Noveria and Jacob Ramshack, timbermen. Noveria was alive when found but died soon after he was tak en to the surface. Ramshack was dead when the rescuers reached him. The explosion, which occurred about an hour after 50 men had left the lower level because part of the power plant was not working, blew off the main bolsthouse, sending fire timber and debris 200 feet Into the air. The ex plosion wrecked the telephones lines throughout the mine.

YOUNG'S SHOP BUSY PLACt AND BUSINESS BOOMS MER CHANTS HAVE SCHEME. There is one Oregon City business man who is heart and soul behind tbe "Buy It In Oregon City" movement, for the campaign, while it. has hardly been organized, has brought more business home to him and his shop is running at capacity, his help works overtime and In order to keep up with the demand for his product he has been forced to add to his employes. That man is Ed. Young, proprietor of a bakery on Seventh street. He finds that his business is growing steadily and recently secured another baker to turn out bread enough to meet the de mand. He spoke at the meeting held in the Commercial club over a week ago, -and declared that thousands of leaves of Portland bread were sold dally in Oregon City and surrounding towns. A committee from the Board of Trade is at work on plans for a store reception and window display night and an announcement of the plan is expected soon.
