e. The Idaho World of late date
says that several merchants of that place
have lately visited Chicago and St. Louis
and have determined to make their pur.
chascs of general merchandise hereafter in
those cities, instead of San Francisco and
Portland as heretofore. 1t states that
the railroad men east of the Rocky Noun
tains are determined to put the charges for
freight so low that there can be no compe-
tition from the Pacific Coast, and a compa-
ny has been formed for the hauling of mer-
chandise from the railroad to the various
towns of Utah, Montana and Idaho. The
Portland Commercial copies the statement
of the Idaho World, and adds that the Or
egon Steam Navigation and the North Pa
cific Transportation Companies have adopt
ed a reduced schedule of freights for the
express purpose of competing with Eastern
traders in the towns of Idaho.

A Coon NAME.-Before all things, and
beyond all price, is a good name. Eminent
wisdom has declared that it is, rather to be
chosen than great riches
Il stands for and is the label Of a mans
character. The name one bears, or the &C
erelitedrep0tation, represents his manly worth
his solidity, his virtues and honor.
No power eau bring back the fragrance oil
a good name once blasted. No tongue can
declare its value, no mind can conceive the
vacuum made BY its loss. With 1t poverty
becomes handnaid with ii wealth Is dis
grace.
Whit the humbless relations OF life are
blessed aud ennobled; with it the highest
titles, the most honorable positions, and the
most favorable human relations are marks Of
humiliation and insignia Of worthlessness.
A good name is the blossom and fruit Of
goodness. It's not mark pasted on chsrac-
ter by some outside hand, but the proper de-
yelopment Of the inner mantle shining
light which pure and good soul puts in sight
from within.
