Grceal Changes Have Been Made
Fa tHE country merchant who is trying to conduct his
wi. business by the same methods that were in vogue.
fifty years ago forgets that great changes have taken
place in a half century; that improved facilities for communication and transportation have made the people who buy
more independent in their relation to the people who sell.
This changed condition began with the building of railroads and the running of frequent trains to and from the
larger cities. It has culminated in the introduction of telephones and rural free mail delivery.
Before the day of railroads the rural citizen and the village resident had to depend upon the cross roads or village
storekeepers for almost everything he had to buy. The city
retail merchant made no effort to bid for country trade fifty
or a hundred miles away. There was a two fold reason for
this. He couldn’t attract the attention of the country buyer
because there were few newspapers published, and still fewer
read in rural districts. The other reason was the one already stated—the country buyer couldn’t be drawn to the
city because of the lack of transportation facilities.
It is useless for merchants in the country towns to wage
war against the forward march of civilization. The herd of
buffalo that tried to butt a Union Pacific train off the track
met with annihilation, and there are more trains running
over that road now than there were then. The savages along
the line who tried to lasso the locomotive instead of getting
aboard the train fared as badly as the buffalo.
The manifest moral is: Get aboard the train; don’t try
to head it off.
Some merchants note the changed conditions only to
bewail them. Others see the change and shape their business methods to meet it. The better class study the methods
adopted by the department stores and mail order houses to
push trade and adapt them to their own business.
They find that these city establishments have simplified
the matter of shopping by describing and pricing their goods
right in the homes of the people; that shoppers who formerly
made a tour of the stores to learn where and what to buy can
now do the most laborious part of this task while sitting at
—theferaite dette We dt pithrers iid aha HeWspaper.adwertising.
Progressive merchants in the smaller towns and cities
met this competition by adopting its weapons. In doing
this they have a decided advantage. Local newspapers are
read much\more generally within their territory than city
dailies, and ‘afford a better opportunity for communicating
with the people ‘of the rural districts.
Therefore, np*to-date local merchants, as a rule, gladly
avail themsleves of the opportunity to keep in touch with
the people of their territory by judicious outlay for advertising in the home papers. “Where the village storekeeper
years ago advertised to help the paper along, he now advertises to help himself along,.and he recognizes it as one of the
most important and necessary items. of expense.

Governor Talt’s Opium Policy. . .
OVERNOR TAFT of the Philippines believes in a
liberal policy as far as opium is concerned. He realizes that there are certain incontrollable human appetites and that law never yet was able to defeat nature’s demands. He does not believe in trying to prevent the importation into the islands of opium, but he does favor the
regulation of the traffic, and he thinks that more good can
be done by discouraging than by trying to prevent the use
of opium. The former can be accomplished, while the latter
is impossible.
In an address made in Manila, he compared the opium
traffic to the liquor question in the United States and said
that as high license had proved more effective in America
than prohibition, so the same policy would be better in the
Philippines. A hundred thousand Chinese on the islands
regard the drug as a necessity and will get it, law or no law.
A high license will enable them to get what they desire, but
will make the getting more difficult, and to that extent, will
discourage its use.
The question of high license or prohibition, as far as

FINALLY ARRANGED
The Fountain Head and
Cold Spring Mines.
Are Bonded.
The final arrangements concerning
the bonding of the Fountain Head and
the Cold Spring mines, in Willow Valley district, have. been consummated
and the properties are to be opened up
as soon as possible. The conrpany
that has taken an option on the two
mines named is backed by Eastern
capitalists, and no expense will be
spared in their proper development.
The Fountain Head gave out good
returns some years ago, and it is
known to contain rich gravel deposits.
In fact, both properties are considered
to be excellent gravel propositions,
and the. wonder is that they have not
attracted the attention of capitalists
looking for investments ere this.
The owners are Nevada City men,
who are engaged in business pursuits
of different kinds, and the handling of
the properties has been delayed some
time.
The starting up of the Fountain
Head and Cold Spring mines means
much for Willow Valley district and
this city. Everything possible that
can be done to bring them ap to a
good paying standard will be undertaken with a will and carried ahead
by experienced mining men.
