KEYNOTE OF COMMUNITY PROSPERITY
I
T is tho duty of ovcryoiio to buy from the loonl uior
clmnt, if he enni hut it is also tho duty of tho local iuoi'-
ohiuit to moot tho competition of tho nmil-ordor houso.
Tlie mnil-ordor house is u gi'onl advortisor. It places
a list of its "bargains" m every household, as well as using
printers' ink freely. The local merchant, can sell as
cheaply for cash, hut seldom makes the fact known and
frequently does not place his bargains with the household.
He fails to meet the enterprise of tho mail-order house with
equal enterprise. ,
Jt is unquestionably to tho interest of tho entire com
munity to keep the money at home by patronizing the
homo 'merchant, who pays taxes, rents and payrolls and
does his share toward the upbuilding of the community.
It is unquestionably also to the interest of the entire
eonnnunitv that the merchant in turn patronizes the home
producer wherever he can;
supplies mat no can at nenie: tnat ne gives preicrcncc. an
along the line to home-made products.
This duty of co-operation on the part of the merchant
toward the homo producer is just as essential as tho duty
of co-operation for the purchasing public towards the mer
chant. Tho home producer must meet tho competition in qual
ity and price of the distant commission supply house or
factory, just as the merchant must meet the competition
of themail-order house. Given this equalization, the mer
chant who fails to handle local products can have no legiti
mate complaint against the farmer who, denied a home
market, in turn buys his merchandise abroad.
Most of the butter made in the Rogue .River valley is
sold in other markets, while most of the butter consumed
is made elsewhere. Most of the eider and vinegar and
canned goods made here are sold abroad, while most of the
cider and vinegar sold at home is made abroad. The only
ones to profit by those, operations are the mil road com
pany and foreign jobbers.
Farmers frequently complain that they cannot market
their products in the valley, while at tho same time the
local dealers arc purchasing the same or inferior produce
abroad and selling it in preference to local produce. As
long as this condition obtains the mail-order houses will
secure patronage at the expense of the home merchant.
Co-operation is the keynote of community prosperity
the co-operation of the people, the factory, the farmer and
the merchant. All must unite to build up home institu-
ions, to create local payrolls, to consume local products.
that all may prosper.
EAGLEPOINTTAVERN
Fire destroyed tho Tavern Hotel
nt Eagle Point early Wednesday
morning, causing ti property damage
cstimntcd between $0000 and $7000,
covered by insurance. Hotel and bar
fixtures, and household effects were
destroyed. The building and contents
were owned by' James Vogeli, who was
in this city when tho fire started.
The structure was built in 1011. De
fective clectrio light wiring is sup
posed to have been tlie origin of the
fire. The insurance is .(J000.
Serious damage to the business
district of KurIu Point wns averted
by tho fact that no wind was blowing,
otherwise tho lumber yard and P. &
E. depot would have bcyn menaced.
Tho hotel property is practically an
entire loss. Mr. Vogf I!'s plans for the
future have not been decided upon.
Tho Eagle Point fire department
and bucket brigade battled the flames
and protected ndjncent property.

The San Francisco Examiner of
February 8 contains tho following no
count of how A. A. Hornunl of .Med
ford was ileeced out of .lOOO by con
fidence men. Hernard, who u er
ago sold the Sunset orchard, in the
Cokcr Mutto section, to Morgan
brothers, denied the storv in .Mon
day's Mail Tribune. The Examiner's
story is u follews:
"Convinced Hint his 'friends' nro
staying nwny with malicious intent,
and, in fuct, do not really intend in
return nt all, A. A. Harnaid, a well-to-do
business innu of Medford, Or.,
has nsked the Hums detective agency
nnd the San Francisco Milice ti find
the plausible, pleasanl mid coiupau
ionnble strangers who vanished last
November with $'MW) of his money.
Tells How They Worked
''llenvird's account of what hap
pened is u naive nnd guileless docu
ment. After telling how he met the
stranger in San Francisco nnd went
with him. to Oakland, ho centinues:
"While standing in lront of tho Ho
tel Oakland a man passed along. My
friend (Man No. 1) said that he
knew this passerby in Chicago.
"Man No. I told me that man No.
2 represented u big syndicate of
horse owners, who sent him to place
bets in the dilfcrent exchanges
around tho country.
"Man No. 2 then told me he had
two drafts for .7fi00 each, which he
showed us, nnd said he was going to
place them on a horse that day,
which he did. Later he showed us
the ticket where he Jind placed the
money nnd the horse had won. Ho
went over to cash in and the ex
change told him that in accepting iho
drnfts thev hud not noticed they were
on out-of-town banks, thev would not
pav the bets until the drafts had gone
through the hanks.
CIvcs t'p fttlHXI
"Mnn No. 2 then offend Man No.
1 nnd I each one-third of the profits
if we would take up llic drafts. .Man
No. 1 said he could send home for
$S000 nnd I co-ild get .:mon, nnd
Mnn No. 2 said he could get the rest
"Wo got the mnnev and went back
to cash in. The clerk said tho moncv
wns thero for us, but we would have
to wait until tlie other clerk came
back from lunch, hut he O. K.M the
ticket and we were to return in mi
hour. In the meantime Man No. 2
sent Man No. 1 back with f.'iOO to
mnko another bet for him, nnd .Mjm
No. 1, without snying u word to me,
nlso bet tho ticket we had just won
and made n mistnke in the horse, los
ing the whole thing." '

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Hepre
sentativo Oood of loda, republican,
threw the house into a tempest of de
bate today by declaring President
Wilson had influenced the interstate
commerco commission in its recent
decision grnnting freight rate in
creases.
The dehato was on an item of
.f.1,000,000 in the sundry civil bill for
tho physical valuation of railroads.
Hepresentnlives Fitzgernld, Moss
and (lordon defended the president.
"No ono seriously believes," snid
Itcprencntntive Fitzgerald, "that the
president lias attempted to coerce
members of tho commission to render
tiny decision in Iho way that the evi
dence would notjustify. The presi
dent has not attempted to influence
tho commission on any question
whatever." .
