The local association had succeed
ed iu effecting a uniform evening
atul Sunday closing, which gives
the local merchant a few hours res
pite from the daily business grind,
and had also succeeded in creating
a mutual good feeling among busi
ness men, and if nothing more
than these two objects had been
accomplished the association would
have done a good work. No
honest worthy man is injured iu
any way by this association and
no one can blame the merchant
for organized effort to protect him
self from impositions practiced by
“ dead beats.” Instead of reduc
ing or running down prices on all
kinds of country produce the local
merchants had gained the deserved
reputation of maintaining higher
prices here than are paid at other
places in the upper Willamette
valley. He advocated liberal sup
port of the local district fair, which
was inaugurated and financed by
this association last fall and said,
“ these fairs create the best of
feeling between merchant and
farmer, brings them closer together
by the display and comparison of
products and wares and discussions
regarding the same.”
