Mail Order Competition.
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.

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:

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.
