"A word to the wise is sufficient T he S ense of i valry between two places that are h ited close together is generally preit strongly developed, and we have found it more so in the inland towns than the coast towns. One town will strive to have a better town hall, or to have a better school than the other, and will take the first opportunity to spread the fact broad cast. Our only solution of the mat ter is that the coast towns are putting their energies into the upbuilding of their individual town and would rather make the shingles for their roof than to take them from their neighboring city. We could state several places in Oregon that are within a few miles of each other in which the people seem to lay awake nights to think np something mean of their sister town. A new improve uient is rarely welcomed with open arms for the ones that should be booming the place ar«« defaming the name of the other town. Its where all take a bold and pull together, using the motto “Live and let live’’ •that makes the town live and will be one of the greatest inducements for the prospective business man and home seeker. 'rusts until they are black in the face do not atop to think that these mail order concerns are a trust of the worst order. They build their big establishments in Chicago or some other large oily, which is all very niee for Chicago, Lilt did you ever bear of any of them spending a cent in the town in which you live. The next time you get a mail order catalogue. use it to start yonr tires with, thereby you will get more benefit than your neighbor that s[>eiids tiis dollars with them. People that patronize these institutions do not as a rule like to have their home meicbants find it out. You cauuet exjiect your home town to grow aud prosper if all or even a part of its cash is spent sev eral thousand miles away. We have been informed that over $5,000 is spent annually from Bandon with the various catalogue houses. Five thoil- aand dollars a year would enable the home establishment to give more em ployment and enlarge their business. If yon are anxious to see your town grow and have flourishing business facilities, spend yonr money at home, yonr merchants here can furnish jon with anything that is listed hi any catalogue and you can get it as quick as yon would have to wait to receive it from tile mail order bouse. The home dealer always stands ready to guarantee his goods. W hat guar antee have you from th« other people after they have yonr money? was the outcome of many trials.

FI N E Th« Parcela Poet The Oregon Tradmuan «ays thaï “one of lh>< argument* used iu >et «»*• teusively by tboae who favor parcels post is that it is opposed by the ex press companies which think that the parcels |H>st would deprive them of a large amount of businesa Thia may or may not be true. Granted that it ia so, what has that to do with the real merits of the question? We cannot see that it makes any differ ence. \\ bat we should find out is how it would affect the farmers and the small dealers. The result of the passage, of such a law would be that farmers and people living in the country towns would buy articles which have a profit attached to them, while they would call on their local merchant for those tbiugs on which there s no profit. We can easily see bow that will affect the country mer- chant. Willi bun eliminated, we imagine that the farmer would find matter changed for the worse, He would learn when it was too late that his local market for farm produce had disappeared, that many con veniences b» once had had vanished.” OCEAN VIEW Camp Ground LOTS Bufter wrappers printed at the R e CORDER office.
