BIG FLOOD OF RAIN
FALLS IN THE CITY.
That Yesterday Is Almost a
Cloudburst.
THREE INCHES is THE RECORD.
And This Fell Within Very Short
While Much Damage to Streets
Railroads, as Usual, Suffer Greatly
From the Floods.

The rainy season" prevailing here
for two weeks, almost without the
cessation of a day, even, eliminated
yesterday morning in a food of rain
which reached torrentiaI proportions,
washing the city's streets, damaging
plantations and, as usual, playing hav-
oc with the railroads.
Not since the freshet of two years
ago has such rain fallen here
For three hours there was a blind
ing storm in which desfening thunder
and vivid lightning played a part, and
during this time the rain poured down
ia almost bindings heets.
The water gauge at the weather bu
reau here registered fall of almost
three inches within two hours. This,
with the hard rains of the past two
weeks, has fairly flooded the country,
and travel is great y retarded. Trains
on all the roads here were somewhat
delayed yesterday,
The Seaboard's morning train came
in late, though its other passenger
trains came and left on time
The Central was open below AmerI-
Gus but bad trouble with the Flint
river bridge at Montezuma All soutl

THE DYNAr1lTERS.

By the admission of the general
manager Of the Northern Pacific, it
appears that the weird rumors of
demands for large sums of none v
being made upon the company, the
alternative for ucn-payment being a
wholesale dynamiting of the roadbed
and bridges, are not baseless rumors
after all but relate but the facts.
General Manager Cooper admits that
a demand for $4,000 has been made
which, Of course, has been met with
silent refusal, aud now, according to
the threat of the brigands, the dyna-
mlti1g is due to begin. In fact 1t
was begun some weeks ago but in
such an ineffective manner that no
damange has resulted ard it is hard
to determine whether the attempts
thus far have been intended to be
harmless bluffs or attacts IN earnest
that fell short of deadly effect only
through the inexperience of the OPP
orators. The attempt on the Livings-
ton bridge followed closely by the
Bozeman, Garrison and Helena at
tempts, not to mention the Butte
railway affair, when connected with
burgularious appropriation of ton
or more of dynamite from Helena
powder-house, long since gave con-
irmation to the rumcrs referred to

MERCHANT AND HOME PAPER.

An editorial in the Minneapolis
Commercial Bulletin and Northw est
Trade, in the nature of advice to
merchants and editors has good
deal of meat in it.. 1t is worth read
ing:
For the good of the town and profit
to themselves the relations of the To-
cal editor and the retail merchants in
the average town are not what they
should be.
This is due to lack of understand
ing by each of the work of the other.
Sometimes ignorance is responsible,
sometimes it is prejudice, sometimes
it is a case looking for trouble.
The result is the same. There is too
little cooperation between the editor
and the merchant.
This may be partly due to the fact
that the merchants in many towns are
Just learning the lesson of co.opera-
ton. themselves. just finding out
that fighting their neighbor down the
st, eet is not all there is to successful
merchandising. just beginning to
learn that there is more to be gained
in bringing more business to the town
than by fighting among themselves
for the trade that naturally comes to
it.
On the other hand editors are fre-
quently narrow in their policy and
neglectful of their business. They
May give too much time to politics
and too little to their real business,
that of publishing paper and giving
the merchants the best possible ad-
vertislng medium.
No merchant can enthuse over ad-
vertising in poorly printed, poorly
edited, and but partially circulated
paper which fails to bring results.
On the other hand, no editor can
enthusiastically work for a town
whose merchants are narrow-minded,
whose public spirit is below zero, who
are biting each other, whose
idea of business is tearing down their
competitors. Such men care little
for the future of their town. They
are too selfish. They do not make
successful business men or successful
towns.
The local paper and the merchants
are the principal factors 10 every
town. On them depends in a great
degree whether it shall progress or
fall into a rut.
Then it is plain that no matter
what differences may arise over poll
tics, over the school election, or the
numerous little trouble makers n the
The Western news., 1903-10-14

town, the merchant and the local pa.
per should always cooperate for more
business.
! Every merchant who reads this
should follow it up with work to q
practical end. He shonld ask him.
self few questions, such as these:
Can | not make more money bv
doing my part toward bringing more
people to this town to trade?
Even though l am "sore' at the
editor, am [ not standing in nay own
light in refusing to cooperate with
him?
If assist and encourage the editor
to push the circulation of his paper,
will it not result in more trade COM
ing to this town, of which I would
get my share?
Retailers associations are educat-
ing the merchant to campaign for
trade along broader lines. The next
thing is to bring the local editor into
camp as an ally.
The merchants of town should do
all they can for the editor. In turn
they should insist that he give them
3 bright paper and push it's clrcula-
tion into every possible nook and
corner of the territory from which
they desire to pull trade. Circulars
ought not to be as good an advertls-
ing medium as the local paper.
This is straight business. Politics,
school elections aud sensitive natures
should not be mixed in the relations
of merchant and editor. Theirs should
be straight business alliance for
more trade.
