PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS.
NO TOWN can grow by sending its
monoy awny and buying oIho
whoro, what can be bought at
home. The patronizing of homo Indus
tries is not only tho propor policy, but
it is the duty of every citizen who has
tho interest of his homo town at heart.
Salem has a splondid lot of stores, and,
for the sizo of the city, noino unusually
large aud varied stocks. In fact, every
line is well represented, and stocks are
large enough and of so thorough a
rango, that, outside of unusual articles,
United States, and bo many things and
such big ones happen to us that we for
get in mooting tho new ones, those that
have gone into tho discard. In viow of
tho tcrriblo calamity that has bofallen
Ohio and Indiana, wo are apt to look
upon it as tho greatest disaster of the
kind that has ever bofallen us. In fact
newspaper headlines so spoke of it, but
it is far from being so. Tho loss of life
is now estimated at about 400, and it
certainly will bo les sthan 800 in the
wholo district. Had enough, to bo suro.
but wo have had worse.
It is claimed tho year 1013 is a hoo
any buyer can find what ho or sho duo, and that wo still havo plenty moro
wants hero. Mail order houses put out
some splondid advertisements, and of
for many spocinl attractions to draw
trado. Thoy offer some things cheap,
too, intonding to mako up for any spo
cinl prlcos In profits from other trade
that follows tho purchase of tho ono ar
tii'Io that first tempts tho buyer, and
thoy generally succeed In doing it

and the flowory tatomonts of high

houses employ to charm tho ears, and

Bcsidos this, in spondlng your monoy at
homo, you keep at lonst a part of it in
your homo town, and you givo employ
ment to peoplo in your own town, and
so holp build it up and mnko it pros
per. If you send your money to Chica
go, you nover seo it ngain, nor does any
of your townsmen. You do not help
givo omploymont to your townspeople,
but you do give employment to some
ono in Chicago, thus helping build up
that city rather than your own. Chica
go does net need your patronngo, your
own town and your own townspooplo
do. .
On a par with this patronizing . of
mail order houses is tho purchnsing
from poddlers. As far as helping your
own town, your own peoplo is con
rurned purchasing from the itinerant
hawker is as bad as sending away your
money to tho mail order houses, for in
cither caso, it is goodbyo forever. In
cither case it is tho keeping of some
Salem man or girl out of a job, and to
that cxtont injuring your own town. In
almost ovory caso yon can buy of tho
homo morchant tho samo goods you get
of peddlors, and at prices at least as
low, If not lower. Besides, if there is
anything wrong with tho goods, you
inn go to your homo morchant, get
mistakes corrected or your money buck
You cannot do this with either the mail
older bouse, or tho peddler. On top of
this it must bo remembered that tho
home ineri'hnnt extends you credit, car
ries you along until it is convenient fori
you to pay, and thus makes it possible,

Tho year 1871, for instance, was a
genuino hoodoo. In that year, Oct. fi
ll, Chicago had a little fire alarm, that
beforo it was through burned ovor 8,
000 acres of her businoss section, five
full sections of land, destroyed 25,000
buildings nnd caused a property loss of
moro thnn $200,000,000. Tho country in
a few days raised $7,500,000 for hor ro-
lief and in three years even Chicagoans
hnd almost forgotten it. Tho same year
Boston had a $70,000,000 firo, but tho
Bostoneso were game, and it did no
morn than mako thorn wipo thoir spec
tacles and sound their "It's" a triflo
moro distinctly.
Thut samo 1871 wns a bad ono in
other ways. Prairie and timber fires
swept ovor Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and besides causing tho loss
of millions of dollars worth of property,
levied a heavy toll of human lives, moro
than 1.100 perishing in Wisconsin alone.
Another off yenr was 1SS3 which
commenced business January 10 by the
burning of tho Nowhnll house at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, with a Iosb of 100
liven. Tho Brnidwood coal mine horror
followed on February 16, and a tornado
on tho Mississippi April 23, killed an
other hundred. There wero many other
unusnnlly bad disasters during tho yoar.
In 188, tho south was swept by yollow
fever, carrying off thousands of victims
yet how few rcmombor it, nnd coming
down to recent years, and to lllustroto
tho idea mentioned in tho beginning of
this article, that is that big disasters
crowd each other so rapidly that we for
get the old in contemplation of tho new.

Parkinson Trying to Invoke the Refer
endum on Money Given by
Legislature.
During the early part of the coming
week foes of the, University of Oregon,
headed by H. J. Parkinson, of Portland,
will bogin tho circulation of petitions
for improvements at the state institu
tion. This information was given out
from a reliable source hero Saturday
afternoon.
Who is backing Parkinson is not
not known, but it Sb said that he ex
pects Bturdy support from the state
grange. Tho potitions will first be cir
culated in Portland, according to the
Salem informant. It has been hinted
that, nnlesB strong support is given
Parkinson by tho granges, success of
tho referendum is hopeless.
The existence of the state university,
as an institution, soparates from tho
state agricultural school appears to be
tho first argument of Parkinson and his
holpers, who claim that the amalgama
tion of tho two schools should take
place by tho romoval of the university
to CorvalliB.
Tho roport iB that tho referendum
will be hurled at every appropriation
affoctinc the university. Whether this
is true, or whether only for those build
ings and improvements will be attacked
is a question. Among tho appropria
tions made wero $100,000 for a new ad
ministration building, $380,000 for
maintenance, $45,000 for maintenance
of the medical college in Portland, $75,
000 for repairs and improvements and
$12,833 for improvement of streets.
