TBMIN6JT.II0IE Itcflccttons of a Visitor to the Cen tral Oregon Country. There recently nppenred In the Cul ver Trlbpuno a communication from "A Visitor" which so completely hits to nml on the head as to condlt'onh In Control Oregon that It Is printed le!i-w In full Before going further I wish to state that personally I urn a disinter ested party In tho welfnrc of your community. I have, been In your lit tle town ns rather a silent visitor for nearly two weeks. In fast I'vo been In nearly every town In Central Ore gon, and note conditions quite the name. However, as this particular portion of the country appeals to me very strong from a standpoint of fu ture prosperity. I take this opportun Ity of putting forth facts as seen by a representative of prospective Inven tors and business men. In tho first place the lack of coop eration between the farmer and the business man Is quite noticeable, plain to be seen. And I venture to say that the business men are only too willing to adjust those matters. For, the business man wants the bus. Iness, the more business he gets the nioro complete will be his stock, the better prices ho can give and In ev ery way give his trade better service. As I look about your little town I no tice your stores are not doing tho bus iness they should do, their stocks are Incomplete and their stores not up-to-date. They are afraid to branch out simply because of past and pres ent experiences, and because tho peo- other part, of my travels, Hut from n standpoint more seri ous than tho above mentioned Is n 'net that has been fathomed nml con sidered to be universally true, that It Is a poor wny to develop n country by sending your money out of It. Can you not recall some place In your travels where things were nour ishing on n good, sound basis, where tho little town teencd full of lite, nud no doubt you hnvo recalled the time and the place and remarked that that town was a good place nud tots of business ws being done. Why was It? U you had Investigated you would hnvo found that the people who depend on tho town and tho peo. pie who made their money In tho sun rounding country patronized homo in dustries. In return tho merchant and other enterprises by results of that cooperation wero able to Im prove the town, induce through their commercial organisation, different business enterprises to locate In the town, establishing markets for tho farmers' conimod'ttes. Those were the conditions that cnused tho good times c.nused money to circulate and every nmbltlous man to prosper. They spent their money nt home. How nbout it, Mr. Header? Are you one of the many who go to our mer chant with n pleo of Insufficient funds to enrry jou through to your noxt my day and nsk for credit? Are you one of the many who, after securing such an accommodation are thought! enough that when your pay day does come you sond what you have left aheve your Indebtedness to a catalog house for arother year's supplies? Did you overlook the fact that the merchant who so graciously extended you the courtesy of credit was entltl- ' M,l t 1ia Unii-n uima (itirAla f'n,l It Isn't the standoff aceount that makes the merchant thrive. It's the ensh down. Hut when ho has been good enough to holp you to a ixisltlon when you have money by allowing yu his money to work on, should you not In return help tho man who has befriondod you? You may wonder why I take the time to write this article since 1 nni n disinterested party.
