Under the above heading the Prineville Review of last week
published the following:
Few people know that many o f such men as Morgan and oth« i
financiers are back o f the great mail order institution', but it is
a fact, and they are the power which the country merchants must
contend with goes without saying. As the new parcel |**'t rate'
are now in force the mail order merchants are reading the conn
try papers and are watching the advertisements with eagle eye'
When they find that the IMfChSIltS <fc> DOl UM the !'-‘ t- ' ■ U> ad
vertise their goods they immediately Hood the country with thetr
catalogues— they well know the farmers want to '«•«• the prices in
black and white
The Hillsboro Independent publishes the plan outlined by a
merchant o f that town to meet the condition and give the mail
order houses a set back. It says:
The plan is for the business men to unite and buy space in the
local papers for a year, the space to la* tilled with the cards of the
different merchants. In effect this would la1 a busine." director'
and would at least inform the readers of the paper, many o f whom
it must not be forgotten, are new comers, w hat lines of business
are represented in Hillsboro.
The business man figured that there are more than 100 dif
ferent concerns in the city, only a small proportion of which in
vite trade or let the people know they an* in business through the
columns o f the papers.
The Independent has believed merchants have not availed
themselves o f this method o f meeting outside competition to the
extent they might. The business directory plan cannot but ac
complish good and emphatically advertise the business resources
o f the city, but we believe in addition a strong effort to attract
business should be made by detailed description o f weekly offer
ings, and if possible, the prices asked.
O f course, then* is the merchant who says advertising doc -
not pay, but he has his answer in the statement of the catalogue
house manager.
Used intelligently as the catalogue house u-es
it. it returns a big per cent on the investment, but it should al
ways be considered an investment, not an expense.

sitions to help out thi« section o f the state with irrigation, but
the governor says he is going to put through the North Canal
Project, anyway. We are all with you, governor, on this subject.

Governor West says he is going right ahead w ith his plans fo r
the state and federal government taking over the North ( ’anal
Project irrespective o f any action the Desert Ijuid Board may
take to try to hamper him in the matter. He says that with the
united support o f the settlers and business men in this section
favoring his plan for completing the project he is sun* to succeed
This sounds good to the people here and they will give the gov
ernor all the assistance in their power to help along in putting
the North Canal Project in a condition for early completion.

Remember that water rents are now payable on or before the
10th o f each month, and if not paid by the 10th a penalty will la-
added, and if allowed to run until the 15th of the month the water
will be shut off.
And there you are.
This continued moist weather is sure bringing a smile to the
faces o f the dry farmers in this part o f Central Oregon, for it as
sures bumper crops o f all kinds the coming fall.
The name o f Lynch & Roberts in Redmond stands for good
goods and better values, and when they advertise a sale the people
know it is a bona fide sale— no fake about it.
The “ dead” sometimes come to life for a short time,
is evidence o f that in Redmond lately.
