get in operation, there it- going to be
a big demand for just this commodity.
"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.

institutions do not as a rule like to

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

facilities, spend yonr money at home,

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-

imagine that the farmer would find

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.”
