The power of the local press is un-
limited. 1t attracts wealth from
abroad, and makes known the resour-
ces and capabilities of the city or
town. Every advertisement in a local
paper is an advertisement of the town
it is the voice of the merchant to
his customer and to those who dwell
at a distance. 1t acts in many differ
ent ways to benefit the town and in
crease its business prosperity. For
these and various other reasons, it is
patriotism and honesty for men in
terested in the growth and prosperity
of a town or city to patronize those
who patTonize them, and to help sup
port and build home institutions
rather than those abroad. In other
words advertise in your home paper
and show to distant communities that
you can appreciate the efforts made to
deyelope your town or city.

Joggles hasn't shown up for long
time, but he came in yesterday after
noon, and says Joggles, says he, "Pve

and the mind cure, and the faith
cure, and have it down fine. The diff.
ference between the mind cure and

very much elated, and informed his

There is no city in the northwest
where house rents are SO proportion
ately cheap. all things considered, as
in Astoria, and while it would be and
always is a profitable investment to
put up houses for tenants paying fif-
teen or twenty dollars a month, yet
higher priced houses are not very
profitable. The writer knows OF one
house, costing $4,000 built on a $4,000
lot, and rented for $50 a month. One
wouldn't get rich very fast by receiv-
ing 1850 annually on an investment OF
$4,000, after paying taxes, insurance
and repairs.

A J. johnson, the Astoria nursery
man, is in Seattle. In talking over
some of his ridiculous experiences
|last Tuesday evening he told a Press
reporter of an Oregon gentleman who
came to him and ordered a very
young century plant. In fact, if pos
sible, he wanted century plant just
two days old. He had a baby boy
that age, and he wanted to see which
would live the longest. John
son says it reminded him of the man
who heard that crows lived to the
age of one hundred years, and then
went and bought one to keep it as a
test.

To illustrate how the mortgage tax
law practically works in this state,
and how it retards development by
rendering oppressive the use of bor-
rowed money, may be cited an in
stance that came under the writer's
observation in this city yesterday.
A man who had borrowed $400 and
given his note, secured by a mort
gage, paid the note and interest, and
had the mortgage released. The rate
was per cent, the time, ten months
and seven days: hence the interest
was $27.29: the borrower, of course.
paid the tax on the mortgage, $10.95.
Thus the total cost was $3S24, which
the man who wanted $490 for ten
months had to pay, or a rate of eleven
and one-ffth per cent. per annum,
paid by the borrower. For a shorter
time the taxes would of course have
been the same, and the cost, proper
tionately higher. In Washington,
the total cost to the borrower would
not have been over eight per cent
Here it is virtually one per cent, pei
month in such cases as the one cited
which is a fair illustration of how the
law works.

THE SOUTH DAKOTA CAPITOL GRANT

Sioux Falls, 5. D., July 25.-There was full e.
tendance at to-day's session Of the Convention The
report of the Committee Legislative Appointment
made special order for to-day, would seem to be
ceptable to all karts of the State, 1t adopted
without discussion. Concessions were made 10 those
districts entirely satisfied with the Senate appoint
ment, by giving them additional representation in the
lower house. A spirited discussion took place when
the report of the Committee on Education and School
Lands was reached The committee had amended
tho Sioux Falls Constitution TO make the lands
granted for school purposes embrace the 10000
granted for STATE Capitol fund, tying up this grant
that IL could only be sold subject to the same NJ
strctions placed upon the sale OF school lands. II
contended that this Convention has no right, un-
der the Omnibus bill, amend the Constitution,
and, further that granting the right, It would be an
injudlcOus action 10 place any limitation upon the
disposal of this grant, which was clearly made Zoe
the purpose of providing state Capitol. In this ves
the Convention concurred by amending the repor
to make 1t conform TO the Sioux Falls Constitution
