That "sentiment cuts no ice" in
putters of' business is a current
phrase pf commonplace talk, but
because the expression is common
place is no evidence of its truth.
Both individuals and communities
are largely influenced by sentiment
in matters of business. The people
pf one locality refuse to patronize
the merchants of a certain town
because they are prejudiced against
the town and they give their trade
to some other town for the opposite
reason, not because it is to their
pecuniary advantage in either case.
jL great many Americans are will
ing to pay a higher price for goods
bearing an English or French label
than for the home manufactured
.articje, though equally good in
every way. For instance, dealers
pften put French labels on Cali
fornia wines and receive a higher
price tfyirofor than they could pos
sibly get if the wines bore legiti
mate labels. Old P. T. Barnum
wag about right when he said "The
American people delight to be hum
bugged, but they don't want to
know that they have been humbugged."
A.v exchange says: "Too much
shouting may frighten people; but
don't forget to shout loud enough
to let them know w ho you are, and
where you are, and what you are
there for." A good many business
men might take a hint from the
above cue and do a little more
"shouting" in the advertising
columns of the local papers. At
least they should talk loud enough
to be heard by people passing on
the opposite side of the street.
The Orettonian says: It is as
serted that Li Hung Chang is the

His wealth is estimated at 500,000,-
P00; but, of course, this is conjee
Jure, with no means of verification.
John D. Rockefeller is believed by
pany to be the richest man in
America, and the Duke of West
minister is said to be the richest in
England. The wealth of no one of
the Rothchilds is separable from
(,hat of the family, and the family
is large; so there can be no esti
mate of tie wealth of its individual
members.
We understand that the early
rains have caught considerable of
the late sown grain standing in the
sheaf and even a few fields of oats
have not been harvested. It is not
always convenient for the farmers
of the Willamette Valley to have
their entire crop garnered by Sep
tember 1, but experience teaches
that this is the only safe method.
The fall rains occasionally come oi:
early in September, although
usually not until a month later.
The hop crop in this vicinity has
not yet suffered, but should the
wet weather continue a week longer
there will be serious danger of
mould All the yards are com
paratively free from lice, but this
insect propagates its kind politic
ally during damp weather and
some of our growers are apprehen
sive of trouble.
