THEY DON'T KNOW.
The Big MailO Order Houses
and the Retailer.

-NEf4[LIaH 4NANT trREa 49,
A cry IS going up all oyer the
country that the big mail order
houses with their ponderous cat
,alogues are driving the country
retailer out Of existance. s.
InSalmost every recent conven-
tion or State association some one
has risen to explain.
And the plant is usually this:
We can sell just as cheaply and
in some cases cheaper than the
mail order houses, and yet our
customers persist in sending
their money away from home, in
paying freight charges, and so
on, in selecting from a catalogue,
instead of tie goods themselves.
The trouble is that they don't
know that we can do just as well
or better for them at home"
The last sentence tells the
whole story-the people don't
know.
The mail order house sends it's
catalogue with its al uriag ow
prices-"why Jones meyer adver-
tbs ID any prices | Ike that'-and
the order is sent out of town.
The retailer would feel aggrie-
we'd if anybody were to intimate
to Kim that the mail order houses
away off in the big cities had
more classified knowledge about
the people in his territory than
he possessed himself.
Yet he sees the result of that
knowledge observation-disclosures
sent into his town aud persistent
ly followed up with good litera-
ture until orders result.
How many retailers have a
carefully kept mailing list?
How many see TO it that they
not only have such a list, brit
that the people On that list are
kept constantly in mind Of the
fact that they sell certain things
at such and such prices?
The retailer has the remedy
for the mail order nightmare in
his own hands.

THE FRENCH PARADE.

Love of the spectacular has been q
trait Of French character from time i'm
memorial. A trait that has been taken
advantage of by every ruler from the
conquest by Caesar in IS b. G. to the
present day. Napoleon knew the full
value of this characteristic and nc ruled
France by dazzling the people with bril-
liant court and military pagcants. The
recent naval expedition sent BY France
against Turkey seems to have been
something on the same order.
1t is gravcly announced that the cxpc
dition was an entire success, as the porte
has promised to pay all demands in full.
TO an outsider it would seem that
France with her claims is right where
she was before the expedition, for the
porte has been making the same prom
Use to each Of the other powers for the
last twenty years But anyhow the OK
petition was Il success, for its real pur
pose was to secure popular support for a
ministry that has been on shaky ground
since the day Of its appointment.

Won nv His Wit.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to n
rich living to a lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral of the rector of
the parish in which the nobleman's
seat was situated.
The father of his pupil was patron of
the living and was also present at the
funeral of the deceased rector. There
was young clergyman present also
whose grief was SO dcmonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked if the young man
was n son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh. dear. no, my lord-no relation al
ALL" said the tutor.
mo relation! exclaimed the noble
man in surprised tone.
"None. my lord; he is the curate. ant
think he is not weeping for the dead
but for the living"

a wit and cynic himself, was SO de
lighted with the bonmot that he con
ferred the living upon the ready pun

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, 1901
THE ELECTIONS,

The result of the elections in
New York and Pennsylvania again
illustrate the truth of the oft made
assertion that democrats are less
hidebound in their partisanship than
republicans. In democratic New
York it was a fight between all of
the reform forces and the corrupt
democratic machine, and enough
democrats left the party to over
throw the machine. In Pennsylvania
the conditions were reversed, the fight
being between the reform forces and
the republican machine, and the ma
chine won through the votes of thou
sands Of honest republicans whose
blind partisanship prevented them
from even temporarily leaving the
party.
It is most probable that the
practical results in New York will fall
far short of the expectations of those
who made and won the fight. This
will come from lack of cohesion
among the heterogeneous elements that
We're in the fight against Tammany.
While the battle was on they were
held together by a common purpose,
but after the fight has been won only
the strongest hand can keep down
bitter fractional quarrels between the
different elements. Mr.. Low has no
mean task before him.
Tammany had well drilled con
pact organization that moved with
the precision Of machine under the
direction of single man, and no in
ternal quarrels or dissensions were
possible in the city government.
Instead Of this Mr.. Low will have an
unorganized mob of place hunters
with which to govern the city with
it's hundreds of different departments
that collect and distribute NOR,
than one hundred millions of dollars
annually.
On account of the defeat and his
unsavory reputation, Croker vii

many important offices in the bur
roughs, and if the Low administra
ton results as seems most probable
the reaction at the next election vii
probably return the city to the ten

DEVELOP OUR RESOURCES.

Every citizen of Flathead county
should be interested in the development
of the Kintla Lake oil fields, situate in
the northeastern part of the county, a
mountainous section considered Of little
value until recently
The seepage oil found is of high quail
ity and if found in paying quantities the
wealth of Flathead county would be
doubled in single night. 1t is difficult
to conceive at this time what vast
changes would be brought about in
Flathead county by such discovery.
Northwestern Ohio was a farming sec
ton whose people were mostly engaged
in tilling the soil, little dreaming Of the
vast wealth that was hidden beneath
their feet, until some enterprising citi
zens of Findlay concluded to put down ii
we'll. When oil was struck those who
had invested in shares at few cents
each awoke one morning to find them
selves rich The sleepy town of Findlay
was transformed into thriving, busting
city.
This has been the history of every
section where oil has been discovered in
paying quantities.
The indications of oil and gas neal
Kintla lake are about the same as those
found in Ohio and other sections. except
that the Kintla oil is of much higher
quality. Experts who have examined
the Kintla oil field agree as to its value
but differ as to the probable size of the
field, some saying that it is not more
than ten by twenty miles, while Others
say that it probably extends under the
entire Flathead valley.
The organization perfected by some Of
the business men of Kalispell for testing
the Kintla oil field deserves well at tn
hands of the people of the county, no
only because of the high standing OF tn
men in control, but because in buying
: few shares of stock you may help to IL
crease ten-fold the wealth and populs
tion of Flathead county, which woul
mean more customers for the merchar
and better market for the farmer.

anything he does would be expec,ing

The editor of the Bee will approve
the public acts of Senator Clark
whenever they are right and will
criticise without fear when they are
manifestly wrong.
Mr.. Clark is not in any way an
issue in Montana politics at this time.
and if he were would receive the same
fair treatment in the columns of the
Bee as other public men.
The Bee will fight corruption and
approve of honesty, regardless Oh
individuals or parties. The mistake
made by the Inter Lake is in trying
to measure the editor of the Bee by
it's own narrow standard, which pre-
vents it from uttering a single word
in criticism of any republican office
holder.
The comments of the Inter Lake
on democratic harmony might have
more weight if preceded by an OBJ
ject lesson in herding together some
of the republican factions in Fiat
