N. A. CLARK, Proprietor,
JSUCCESSORTO E. E. BEAMAN,
Because of two plans for bettering
merchandising conditions in the
Northwest the approaching meeting
of the Oregon Retail Merchants As
sociation is expected to prove the
most important in its history. There
is a plan to stop the mail order busi
ness in the Northwest, and to provide
a fruit ana produce clearing nouse
for the benefit of farmers every
where. The meeting is to be held in Port
land on February 19, 20, and 21, and
is of such an Impressive character
that the railroads have granted re
duced rates from Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho territory. It is ex
pected that 2,000 merchants of the
territory will be in attendance.
To carry the fight to the big mail
order concerns it is expected that a
fund of $10,000 will be raised as a
starter and that more funds will be
forthcoming as the'y are needed.
There seems to be a decidedly de
termined feeling toward curbing the
mail order fellows in the Northwest.
The movement is of interest to men
in every line of business, and is said
to take in the newspaper publishers.
Facts and figures have been gath
ered during the past year to show the
volume of mail order business and
how It effects the country merchant
A committee has given careful study
to ascertain the weak points In Its
execution.
The proposed clearing house is
said to embrace a scheme for the es
tablishment of sufficient branches to
accomadate the business of every
community. Products will be stand
ardized and so delivered to the mar
ket as to maintain a price that will
mean a profit to the grower.
These plans are said to be the first
practical suggestions that have ever
come from merchants themselves in
the curbing of these evils.
During the three days of the con'
vention of merchants, many strong
papers will be read. C. W. Mulllns
of Astoria; F. B. Haskell, of Wood-
burn; A. C. Marsters, of Roseburg;
George W. Hyatt of Enterprise; J. C,
Mann, of Medford and Thomas Har
vey, president of the Coos County
Business Men's Association will be
heard the first day.
That night the wholesale and lobb
ing houses of Portland will entertain
visitors.
The second day will have such men
as Nathan Strauss and Edward Cook-
ineliam on the program.
There will be five minute talks by
everybody on business subjects and
a prize will be awarded for the. best
and at noon the visitors will dine
with Albers Brothers.
That night will be the finest time
of the convention. President vim
ord Barlow refuses to divulge 'what
the smoker will bring forth. He says
it will a humdinger whatever it Is
President Barlow urges all retail
merchants of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho to be in Portland for par
ticipation in the meeting. He believes
thev should get first nana miorma-
tton as to how the mail order houses
are to be fought, and to be able
to do their share in carrying on the
campaign.

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER
The tightness of the Buick Valve-in lead motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.

electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power
on brake test and is so reliable for ruggtd service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."
Its lines are beautiful.. Finish and color are exception
al Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trinmess of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.
Body, hood, fenders and running gear are painted a
glossy, long-wr ring black; wheels are black with white
stripes. Tires 31x4 inches.
