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. a a ee oe oe 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 $1185—HALF-INTEREST IN HALL AND $4000—MODERN LODGING HOUSE; 18 + 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. Lady Celeste is wonderful.
