It waa noticeable tbat ladle wore very much In evidence, and that the business men were few and far between. Parmera were ex ceptionally acarce.T. K. Orlfflth being about the only tiller of the aoll. Me waa the flrat to be called upon by toaitmaater K. 0. Hall, who present ed Mr. Orlfflth aa a patron of the malt order houiea, aad aiked him to state hi rcasona for, o doing. Mr. Grif fith itated tbat (he believed In patron izing home Indaatry whenever poaal ble. He, however, maintained that tho farmer haa Just a much right to send away for article aa the mer chant has to send to the outside for produco that can be raised by the local farmer. He cited that the de mand was greater for foreign produce than tho home grown when the art! clea were placed in the market aide by side. Aa an example, he aald that It Is almost Impossible to get the bust neaa men of Klamath Palla to handle home cured bacon. He Justified the farmer In sending to tho mall order houses by saying tbat the prlcea of the local dealer were Irregular aad frequently uareasoaable. Mr. Qrlf- Oth advocated the eataaUahmeat of a free market ao that tha consumer could get In direct touch with the producer. Thla would help the farm era get the money for their produce, and they would then be la ahape to talk to the bualneaa men on a caah bail, and get the beat posalbl prlcea. He said that It waa a atroag tempta tion for a farmer to patronise a mall order house when he could save 50 per cent on the article purcbaaed. R. II. Dunbar, principal of the pub lic schools, waa next called upon. He spoke at somo length on the Irregu larity of the prices of the local mer chant, and stated tbat la many In stance aa the purchasing agent of the school board, ha found that he could buy the same article from an outside house for leaa than one-half of the amount asked by the local mer chant. Ho aald that ha haa at time been cenaured for buying achool aup pltea from outside houaee, but he Jus tified bl doing o because he was saving money that belonged to the public. He advocated that the mer chant get together aad fix uniform price, and do buslueae on a reason able baala of profit. Ha cloaed hla talk by aaylng that the time waa not far distant when the Sacramento Val ley would be buying produce from tha Klamath Basin that thla city la now buying from Sacramento. P. R. Olda auggested that mora of the merchants try a plan which haa proven aurceaaful with him. He tried hla wholesale house, aad found those who would take county warrant In payment for good. By patronising these wholesaler he fouad that he could make a profit oa tha warrant and alao keep money at home. While the aubject for dUcuulon waa advertising, many of tha apeakera touched very lightly oa thla aubject. Rev. Whlston advocated trading at home. He aald he found that he loutd buy aa cheaply from the Klam ath Palla merchants aa he can at Lin coln, Neb. He ald he believed in advertising, and In making good on what you advertise. When the min ister closed hla remarka the toast matter stated that If he ever engaged In the mercantile buslneee again ho would employ a preacher for an ad vertising man. C. H. Preeman. representative of the IrwlnHodon compaay of Fort land, apoke at length oa tho mall or der house, aad ahowod the fallacy of people getting mora for their money than they gat from tho local mar- ehait. He urged the local mercaaaU to advertise and to make good oa their advertlilag. He advocated food goods and a good prolt. B. 1. Bvaaa wist only looal mer DISCUSSED chant' to respond. Several other were railed upon, but stated that they could auggeit nothing thnt would counteract tho tendency to patronise mall order houses. Kvans stated that If those who patronise the mall order grocery house would take their or der to the local dealer before thoy send them away they wilt And that they can save money by patronising the local merchant. Hunter flavldge, W. P. Johnson, Rev. J. S. Stubblefleld, Rev. 0. H. Peese and Mr. Mary Jackson spoke at aome length on the matter of pat ronising home Industry. All favored giving the local merchant the first chance, and urged those in attendance to do the same. Several speaker criticised the local merchants for not being courteous enough to patron, especially in the matter of sending for article not car ried In atock. Tho meeting waa a well atended one, but It waa unfor tunate that not more of the business men were out to give their views on the advertlilng question. All who poke agreed that the modern method of business demand tbat the mer chant must get at the public and ahow tbat he baa something to sell that Is worth the money. E. B. Hall, In closing, suggested that It might be a good plan for the local merchants to organise and re fuse credit to all who patronised malt order houses.
