Mail order business is that de partment of business whereby through the medium of advertis ing merchandise is sold direct to the consumer by mail. This business has grown by leaps and bounds. Why? Because the lo cal merchant does not keep pace with the increasing demands of an increasing population. The five big mail order houses of Chicago receive on an average of 250,000 orders a day. And this enormous business comes from communities whose natural trade belongs to the local mer chants. The local merchant must make more effort to hold his business and to get new business or the concerns will make greater inroads. He must heat the mail order house at their own game. He can do this by handling honest goods at hon est prices and telling about the goods in such a way people will believe him. Fault-finding or appealing to local pride is of no avail. It is the careful, systematic, elaborate description in mail or der advertising that has built up the big mail order business. If the local merchant will be care ful, systematic, elaborate and truthful in all his local advertis ing, he will win. The advertiser who is truthful will in the end get the business. The public can never know what a merchant has to sell un less he tells about it. There is no better means of publicity than the local paper. Every mer chant who carries on a systemat ic advertising campaign in his local paper, properly and honest ly describing what he has for sale, will find his business in no way affected by mail order com petition. Times. Portland’s Misfortune. A severe blow to Portland, Oregon’s chief city, is the deci sion of the state supreme court, denying its claim to ownership of its waterfront. The decision gives title to shore lands to in dividuals who, according to the Portland Journal, have not paid a penny for them. Originally permitted by a special act to oc cupy these lands for wharfage purposes, they have made this tolerated squatting the basis of a claim to ownership, and now the supreme court has upheld them. The water front becomes a private monopoly which has the city’s commerce at its mercy. Seattle and other cities on the coast have publicly-owned docks, which now puts Portland at a disadvantage in competing with them. Did you ever stop to think that people born 40 years ago can re member when there were no telephones; those horn 25 years ago can remember when there were no automobiles, and those born 20 years ago can rememl>er when there were no moving pic tures or rural mail delivery. This is an age of rapid progress. G. B. DimicK, of Oregon City, is a candidate for governor at the option o f republican voters. Grant is a fine fellow, hut Ore gon voters usually elect a man for governor whom they th ink is a democrat. — Review. The enterprising summer girl has no use for the young man who wastes his time kissing her hand. «• AQMlCUirOMt. E conomics Translation of the Indian Jargon into En glish by Chas. H. Ross, the Pioneer Orator at the Annual Reunion. At the recent annual reunion of the Washington Pioneer Asso ciation, near Tacoma, Charles H. Ross of Puyallup made the fol lowing address of welcome in Chinook, to which Allen Weir, secretary of the Thurston Coun ty Pioneers’ association, replied in the same language: Kla-How-Yah, Kla-How-Yah Tilacum Kla-How-Yah, ankuty tilacum, Nika tum-tum chocohias skookum spos nika nanitch mesi- ka klosh anuty tilacum choco yawa okuk sun, Delat klosh mila choco kokwa onaway kah okuk sun.

Nika kopet. A long time ago, in 1865, when a boy, I helped John Meeker and Ezra Meeker survey Tacoma. It was then covered with timber; no cleared land could be found. Here, bear and deer roamed at will. Only one small log house, built by Job Carr. Here we lived. I slept on the floor with only one blanket under me. I would like to speak to you about many things, but it is time for me to quit, as there are many others to follow. An old friend, Allen Weir, will follow me. I used to go to school with him. He was gifted in speech, a good writer and a splendid fellow. Shake hands, extend greetings, renew friendships. Come back next summer. I close. AGUE DRIVES THEM W E ST. “ The reason why so many of the early pioneers took that long journey, fraught with so many dangers, in the early days was to avoid the treacherous climate o f Illinois and Indiana, which in those days were veritable hot beds of ague and fever,” said George H. Himes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Associa tion. “ Of course, the offer of the land donations was an in ducement to many, but I am of the opinion that the greatest force that drew people to the Pacific Coast in the early days was the desire to escape from the fever-ridden swamps o f the Middle West and to escape the unhealtful climate of the Middle West and to enjoy the balmy breezes of the Pacific.” Owing to the rain, the pioneeis after dinner went to the pavil ion, where addresses were given by the leading pioneers and the guests o f the visiting associa tions. Informal speeches were made by John W. Baker of Oregon, President Schaser of the Thurs ton County Pioneer’s association, President Carkeek of the Wash ington State Pioneers’ associa tion and Mrs. Agnes Woolery Laman. Mrs. W. F. Corwin of Puyallup and P. C. Hubbell of Tacoma sang solos, while the whole party joined in the sing ing of a chorus in Chinook and in “ Auld Lang Syne. ” Mrs. Addie Barlow was chair man of the program committee and had charge of the arrange ments. «9*3.
