doors Saturday and remained In ses-

use in the coming idleness. was not
reached until late in the day. 1t was then
discussed but informally, and no action
was taken.

There Is an ntmation that pressure has
been eXertcd on some OF the board mem
bers to cut the proposed assessment In
two. There Is little likelihood that this
Will be done. Secretary w. b.
Wilson is especially determined that the
fund shall be at least s, 100000. and the
other national officers and a majority OF
the board members are OF the opinion
that this sum Will not be found too large.
Hope to Bring Out 62O,O0 Men.

April would bring out of the mines 62O.

THE SUPPORT or THE LOCAL
MERCHANT.

The approach of winter and the
holiday season, when the most import
ant and largest expenditures on the
part of every person and family
takes place, calls attention to q mat
Ter Of great consideration, for those
who are to purchase these supplies.
This matter Is where are you, the Cit
izen, going TO buy your goods, of
your home merchant, or are you al
ready sending out for catalogues from
outside merchants OF the great north
ern cities, and figuring on saving
twenty-five cents on every ten dol
lar purchase?
There Is no greater community of
interests III town or city, than that
which is 10 be found in local cooper
alton of the people. 1t is the senti-
ment put into active practice of-doins
everything possiL for your neigh
boris interest. 1t is the good word
ever ready for the city's defence. 1t
is the ready help to promote and ad-
vance every local interest which
means public betterments.
1t is found in giving the local mer-
chant every possible order, every pos
sible dollar in trade for goods, that
can be purchased in his store, or or
dered through his store.
The support of home institutions is
best seen in the local patronage given
every worthy local merchant. The re
tail merchant, as a tax payer. is
most important supporter of every
thing that makes up a municipality
lie IS taxed for everything, and pro-
portionaIly bears the greatest bur
den as local taxpayer. This being
true the local merchant deserves the
consistent support, and every possible
dollar of patronage from his home
people.
At this season Of the year, the PAM
phlet by mail, and the attractive al
IN some outside periodical, is too apt
to draw attention away from the
local merchant. The person want
ing goods very often will say what
Is the use Of going to the local mer-
chant, he can't carry such goods. and
so send an order to some outside mer-
chant. But how does the home. citi-
zen know that the article wanted is
not to be found in town? Has the
local newspaper been looked over.
to see If the local merchant adyar-
tlses, or If not having the exact al
tlcle, cannot order the goods, and 50
make a small profit7
Let this season be a new one for To-
cal buyers. in that they make up their
lists Of needed goods, look up their
local merchant and give him the first
opportunity TO fill every order, before
sending dollar to some northern
city. Let the people try this one sea-
son, and see what the result will be.
