A jclaririK mtance of the kind w as noticed urimt tli' Fourth of July holi- ay when people who had paid fchfir mon.'y for a lirsi ciusa pus- ice were compelled to stand all Ue way from l'ortland to lloul- ,n. Vni1114n with balms in arms wiving the same treatment as ihe men. That the company olli i als knew exactly how many l.i-kcts were Hold from lloulton l.) Portland and return there is r.D doubt and they also knew when those tickets were return- and the city :ind county odicers send to l'ortland for printing when they can tfet anything needed rik'ht at home? Some of these things are beinjf done, and yet the same people who are do- inifitset up a horrible howl if any of their customers k to l'ortland to trade. When these thinRS are all considered it is apparent that the business in terests ishould have an organiz ation, Kuch as a Commercial Club for mutual Protection and benefit. The slogan already adopted by the State Manufacturer s Associ ation, "Oregon (Joods for Oieg-on People,' the same sentiment ex pressed in the wail of the l'ort land business houses, "l'ortland people should patronize l'ortland business houses," ahould be carried on down ith somethinK like this: St. Helens business houses can supply St. Helens peo ple arid St. Helens people should patronize St. Helens business houses " We niiht add with much force of argument that if the St. Helens business men ex pect to Ki t the trade they should let the St. Helens people know what they are doinj? by adver tising in the Mist.
