The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1885-10-10

The very fact that Portland is
exerting every means to secure the
wholesale trade of Idaho and other
adjoining Territories in access of
the Oregon Short Line, is an incen-
tive for our business men to COM
pare in detail the advantages and
commodities east and west. The
two cent tariff on "reshipped"
goods from Portland to Ketchum
has induced many of our business
men to turn their attention that
way and as rule to-day Portland
is giving unexpected satisfaction.
But her merchants must be ever on
the alert. They are unfortunate in
not having railroad cooperation in
their work. But if they are floored
by any imposition, credit them
with shouldering their losses like
men. The "reshipped" rate must
be watched like a criminal. We
recently ordered bill of reship-
ped goods from Messrs. Palmer &
Rey of Portland and upon rcceiv-
ing them at the Ketchum depot
were compelled to pay the regular
tariff of four cents because of an
oversight with them to bill I" reship-
ped" They were Cincinnati goods,
and we Immediately returned the
shipping receipts to Messrs. Palmer
& Rey, together with the voucher
received here, and advised them
that we could not stand an impOsi-
ton of 100 per cent. more, on goods
that we were receiving from other
Portland houses at two cents.
They Immediately opened CORE
spondence with the 0. r. & n.
traffic manager, expecting that such
natural oversight in shipping to
a new point would be recognized
and remedied at once with the
proper rebate of two cents per
pound. But they were confronted
by the following unexpected letter
PORTLAND, OREGON, Oct 2, 'S5.
MEssRs. PALMER & REY, Portland,
Oregon.
Dear Sirs IL return papers
enclosed with yours of 3Oth tilt. in
claim for overcharge on consign-
inent to George J. Lewis, Ketchum,
the charges upon which are at
regular rates.
The reshipped rate of 50, which
quoted you on the Goth ult., is
conditioned, as all shippers under
stand, upon marking the shipping
receipt "reshipped."
We have been obliged to estab-
lish a rule that if this is omitted
through oversight of shippers we
will not refund.
Yours truly, JOHN MUIR,
Traffic Manager.
Here is something for our mer-
chants to look at; to weigh. vel
and remember.

Says the lamented sweet William
Bum:
"The Territories need young men
with faith, hope, energy and cour-
age"
Yes, they need men like Bum,
with the courage to hire ASSESSING
to set a town on fire in place of
doing it himself. Men like Bum
with the courage to remain passive
while gentlemen twcak their noses
and spit in their faces. All of the
Territories are pining for men Of

ExCLUSlVENESS

A Quality Considered Highly Desirable to
New York Bellies.
The quality of exclusiveneSs, by the
way. is considered highly desirable by
our wealthy bellies. l found this out in
talking with the foremost dressmaker in
town-a woman who holds about the
same relationship to the adornment of
her sex here that Worth does to Par
islam femininity. lyon are doubtless
laboring under the delusion that one
fashionable lady wishes to wear the
same that other fashionable ladies do"
she said. 1T is true, of course, that
the outlines of fashion are fixed. season
by season, but within those limitations
the aesthetic. really artistic dresser aims
to be individual and peculiar. Only by
that method can she distinguish herscl.
from the common herd of expensively
clothed persons. / have customers who
don't care rap for a costume unless
some, if not all, of the materials are
not duplicated in New York. / make
trip to Europe twice year in quest
of novel and scarce fabrics. picking
them up with as much care and trouble
rs the seeker after pictures for critical
market. l visit manufacturers in sew
erai of the continental countries, and
especially / ransack the Oriental bazar,
since the rage for Eastern stuff set in.
Besides, there are makers of cloth who
produce only limited amount of GER
tain patterns, just as certain books and
engravings are made rare by the de-
struction of the plates. One German
concern will guarantee to an American
buyer of stipulated quantity of goods
that no more of the same sort shall
come to this country. The purchaser
then divides her lot with dressmaker
in each of four or five of our widely sep
arated cities, and is thus prepared to
say to the buyer of her own portion
that it shall be unique to her so far as
New York is concerned. 1t may be
that the article is originally of compar-
atively small cost, but the wearer, all
the same. has to pay right royalty for
the exclusive franchise. / have patrons,
too, who make me promise that the
style of the garments which devise for |
them shall not be repeated exactly. |
This feature of American toilets has |
lately become very marked, and seems
to be regarded as a proof of culture in
those who insist upon it."-N. Y Cor.

ORGANIZED SCIENCE.
The Old Royal Society of London, and Its
Hard Struggle.

Tho Old Royal Society of London, and It's
Hard Struggle.
There are said to be in this and other
lands over one thousand scientific bodies.
Many of these are devoted to special de-
partments of investigation, while others
aim to foster all branches of learning.
Some few are very exclusive, being linn
tied to a few persons of ripe attainments,
while others are popular in their consti-
tuition, aiming to interest all intelligent
men in the advancement of science. 1t
is now proposed to form one gigantic so
ciety of all the various scientific bodies
in Europe and America. 1t is held that
union of effort will bring about mighty
results for the good of mankind. It is
evident that scientific men are held in
the highest esteem. They are the priests
OF the new faith, for men believe in and
reverence them. When scientific bodies
were first organized they met with much
opposition. The Royal Society was Or
ganized in London. in 1920, and very
hard time it had to live at all. Many of
its original members were so poor as to
be unable to pay the subscription rate of
one shilling per week. Among those
excused from the payment of this tax
because Of poverty was Isaac Newton,
who subsequently, in 1856, laid before
the Royal Society the original manu-
script OF his famous "Principia." Sir
John Hill wrote a guarto volume to set
forth the crimes. heresies and conspira-
cies of the Royal Society. and clergy
men. physicians and fellows of the uni
versities joined in the hue and cry
against them. Although their studies
were confined to purely scientific topics,
such as mathematics, astronomy, phys
les, and the like, they were suspected of
designs against Church and State and the
morals of the community.-Denorest's

That being the case we thought it

suppose they cared to know. They
hold their powwows from force of habit
merely. and not from any religious con-
victions or education; for these poor,
spiritless fragments of the old tribes
have no religion, seemingly. and have
lost all the pride and ambition that
characterized their ancestors, and
which led them to keep alive the old
traditions and observe the old rites and
ceremonies. The Indian of to-day in

might happen if he were to neglect this
mark of regard for the dead. L do not

he could secure enough of the miserable

calls cheap good time" But we can

SMART YOUNG MEN,
A Class Of People Whom We Would Do

A Class Of People Whom We Would Do
Well to Beware of.
Three panics have been caused by
three young men, two of whom were
less than thirty years of age: each was
the son of a minister, who had forgotten
the God of his father One was a
banker, one was a broker and one a
confidential clerk. Two died homeless
and penniless in self-eNile and one is
now in Jail. One of them was iinan-
cial prodigy. At the age of twenty-five
he was bank president. The bank was
a success. His personal speculations
brought him large returns. The venera-
bic directors encouraged him in his
career. He was esteemed wonder in
the financial world: but his aged father.
the retired clergyman. trembled for the
future of his son. When the young
banker had accumulated S2O0.O0O. he
begged him to be content and stop. But
the son was sure he could make a mil
lion. Temptations multiplied. Hon.
esty was suspended, the golden bubble
burst, detection followed, the young
banker fled from home and died a pen
niless stranger in strange land. His
life story, with a few circumstantial
variations, is the story of the confident
ial clerk. The final story of the third is
yet to be told. Let us be wary of the
smart young man. How consummate
are his personal attractions. His adj
dress is pleasant. His Imagination is
his faculty. He is the most persuasive
conversationalist. Listen to him and
the false seems true and fiction real.
Success attends his early ventures. He
is envied, petted, courted. feasted,
trusted. He handles millions. His
methods are never questioned. Divi-
dends are facts. Ask no questions for
sake. Now look at his
powerful temptations. He fancies that
fortune is his slave, but his black Fri
day comes at last. The sheriff arrests
him; the dungeon awaits him. His
days of extravaganza is ended Money
gone. jewels and fast horses sold, and |
the banquet hall is forsaken.-Dr. d. p.

A Farm Necessitv.

Every farmer should keep can of
the following mixture: Kerosene, two
quarts; linseed oil, one gill; rosin, one
ounce. Melt the rosin in the linseed
oil and add to the kerosene. Coat all
steel or iron tools, wherever bright. with
this. when they are to lie idle, if only
for few days. 1t will not take half a
minute for half teaspoonful of the
mixture to coat plow. when one has
finished using it, and it will prevent all
rust and save half days time in clean
ing it when it is again needed. Coat
the iron-work of the mowers and reap
ers with it when they are put away.
A little rust is only little thing. but il
makes much difference in the aggregate.
