RIVER TRADE.-A number of traders on the
lower Trinity have heretofore obtained supplies
ot Shasta, to the great injury of business in this
town. This has been partially induced by great
competition in Shasta, so that goods could be OBJ
taned at cost and freight there, and Trinity mer
chants after freighting from Shasta saved the
Wholesale dealers profits. This will hardly be
so this season Shasta merchants will tire of do
ing business for nothing. Another reason: Shas-
Ia merchants advertised extensively, even in this
paper We have, all along, been telling Wea-
rervle business men that they paid too little at
tention to advertising. The loss of this trade is
illustration People trU go where they hear
great noise, even with conviction that the noise
amounts to nothing. The river traders have not
profted extensively by transfer Of business to
Shasta, and had the same advertising effort been
made to attract them here, one half the lost trade
had not gone. They didn't care so much for the
fractional advantage but they went to the moi
siest market.
These are facts the money saved hy econom-
cal advertising, instead Of inevitably returning
in reciprocal trade, has gone to Shasta. and
thence to the dcvi-fOr all Won or we have ever
seen of it. We have, in small degree, proliicd
by Shasta enterprise they have invaded your
territory by advertiscmcnt-UOU have lost all. .-
Think Of these things. and thrust your wares he
fore the public ; make a cOunter-noise, and strive
vigorously in the race.
BEAuTIFY YOUR lIoMEs-Now plant shade trees,
vines and shrubs. What if you do not expect to
remain many years to see them grow strong and
tall? You will have rcjoiced in their increasing
shadow, and gathered many grateful fruits of
your labors. But many residents here will
not soon remove: their next remove will, proba-
bly,, he to the quiet little city few roods west
Every now and then we observe an emgrant
train going there; it's getting TO he quite place;
its population is of u permanent character-ts
government democratic and peaceful
CHINA TIuEvES.-There are intelligent China
men here, and influential with their people, who
should be made to understand that unless petty
'heving is stopped, the whole crowd will be made
10 remove. They are Of but little consequence
to the place. at hest-thcir trade is not worth
half the risk to property incurred by their reck-
less performances with fire; il, in addition to this,
they harbor vagabonds and thieves, they should
be ndmonished of their Inability TO travel.

contemplative pig; the animal cut out with
emazement and great celebrity, believing himself
