mining distxiot by way of Kogue
liver has so anoonraged K. E. Gil
bert,' superintendent of the Rogue
River Mioing & Development Com
pany, that he will have ail their
heavy freight brought by boat from
Orants Pass.. There are three other
large companies preparing to install
mining plants in that district and
they are looking into the plan of hav
ing their freight brought In from
Orants Pass by boat rather than lrom
West Fork by paak horses over
a mountain trail. Mnle Creek
district hs very indlcstion of becom
ing a rich mining suction and its
trade wlil be worth looking after by
Orants Pass and it woold be well for
the Commercial Club to take op the
matter of having the channel of
Rogue river so improved as to make
it possible to operate large boats on it
and make this city the shipping point
for all heavy freight for all , points
down the river. Mr. Thnrner and Mr. ;
Anbery are confident that by eipend- j
ing $IOUO in clearing the bonders out ;
of the. rapid that Kogue river can be J
nivigated for eight months each year
by boats large enough to carry all i
kinds of mining machinery and Bup-1
plies and thit a protfible trade could I
be built op for Orauts Pass.

Does the Agent Benefit You or
Your Town7
Why buy of agents? Do they help
build up the couutry? Do they help
psy the taxes? Do they care if the
goods you buy of theui give tatisiuv
tiou? Do they iultill what they auree?
Do you lor oue minute suppose that
you imii get soiin tiling for nothiug?
The oily tongned sg'i)t is the oulv
one who gets something for uothing.
For what reiuou should he give you a
big credit for no value received? Cau't
you see at a gUuoe that there must he
a catch somewhere and wlieu a man
tells you he can furnish you any piauo
made for less money (ban the man that
haudles it, remember he is niisrepie
wilting things to you the tases you lor
a sucker; he take" you for a simple
minded mn or woui.io ami if the
easily lead and easy suckers could but
hear how the aitents for the large city
hom-s that Ho.it in and out aud take
you in. as they pass through, lsnnh
aud relate their experiences on their
return to their lair of how they broke
it oft in the robes, at they call the
people that live in interior places, they
would one and all learn to dismiss the
agent at the door aud buy all their
needs of their merhants. Show me a
mau that buys evertyhiug lie needs at
home, patronize home entirely and I
will show yon a prosperous, hustling
citizen and show me a man that boys
of agents, send to Sears & Koeboik
for bis wares aud awlays runs down
bis nome merchants and I will show
fou man that the community he
ives in would be a great deal better
I off without aa he is no good to them
or biuistlf. The motto is buildup
your own town, let the cities lake
care of themselves ; staud by your
home merchants; they will stand bv

We attach to this letter a caution
slip printed a year ago, when we had
similar trouble with some niann
facturers making stencil S. W. Miller
piano and stenciling it Chicago.
These parties were promptly dealt
with and bad a tond suit on their

matter for os to find out the origin of
any stencil "S. W. Miller" pianos

harshly, as we will appeal this matter
ate sore that we can find out the
offender.
As far as any other dealer is oon- I '
cerned, who states that he can sell to
"S. W. Miller" piano $50 less than
you can, win say that it is absolutely
false, as no one in Southern Oregon
can buy an "S. W. Miller" pim0
