The American Drummer"

: A United States consul sends to the
state department a bit of advice for
American business houses that intend
seeking trade in Spanish-American
countries. Cheap travelling sales
men who can pick up orders in a
brisk and breezy fashion," he de-
clares, will not be able to do much
business there. Statesmen of culture
and education, with polished manners
and a knowledge of the languages and
customs of the people among whom
they go, he believes to be essential.
The consul's intentions are good,
and it is easy to see the point he
seeks to make. American business
houses would doubtless do well to
remember his words of caution. But
he has wrong conception of the
American travelling salesman. The
type he has in mind figures more
largely on the stage and in the books
of fiction than on the road. The roy

mer has practically disappeared. The
knights of the grip, while they may
not be composite Lord Chesterfields
and j. Pierpont Morgans, are quiet,
1evel-headed. capable men of business.
They seek. says the Cleveland Leader,
to obtain and hold trade by a thorough
knowledge of the branch of it they are
in and by deserving the confid ence of
the men they deal with. The COM
mercial traveller of to-day does not re-
sort to tricks. He transacts business
ON a business basis, and succeeds on
his merits. Such accomplished gen.
tlemen as are described by the consul
would doubtless have an immense adj
vantage over their less gifted brethren
In Latin-America, but the supply of
Them is bound to be limited. 1t is a
safe prediction that the plain, ordi-
nary American travelling men will get

No convict has been guillotined in
Paris for ten years. and the sentences
Df those condemned to death have
been committed to Imprisonment for
life The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all

The Universal Gifts.
H. S. GIvLER. Pub

An old farmer was talking of his
boyhood to a group of young people
not long ago. 1t had been Hved-that
far-away boyhood-early in the last
century, in country place remote
from towns. He described its meager
conditions-the houses, in which such
things as "conveniences" had never
been dreamed of, the coarse food and
poor clothing, the scanty schooling,
the few holidays; no magazines, al
most no books, no entertainments or
sports except an occasional sleigh1ng
party; no 'junketings," no celebra-
ton of Christmas or New Year, no
vacations from work. Nothing that
you young folks have today" he fin
ished, except weather and other
folks; but 1 tell ye," a flash kindled
in the faded eye, and the fine old head
lifted proudly, II tell We, folks cared
jest as much for life in those days as
they do now Weather and other
folks and the opportunity of living
the great universal gifts to all man
kind through all the ages They stand
like mighty mountain peaks, steadfast
and Interchangeable among all the
changing philosophers, civilizations,
powers. Sorrows come often, and
sickness and defeat; there are lives
eaten by poverty and dwarfed by con-
straining circumstance, yet. says the
Youths Companion, to every life these
three things are given-the joy of sun
shine and blue skies, the cheer and
comradeship and inspiration of other
dives pressing upon his, the opportu-
nifty to hope and dream and do bat
tie, to learn daily more of himself and
his fellow man and God. All over
the country are eager young people
looking for chances" to do, to learn
and be. This is as it should be if
Snly the longing means watchfulness,
not discomfort. Chances" come only
to open doors. But while he is wait
ing let every eager soul remember
that the three great gifts are his al
ready to use or to neglect-Nature
and folks" and the privilege of living.

SEEK RIVER OUTLET.

r Last week meeting composed
of delegates from the business men
of Dayton, Wallla Walla, Waits
burg. Touchet and Wallula met in
Dayton. The purpose of the meet
ing was to plan for an electric line
to the Columbia river through
Daton and the other towns NEIL
toned above. The plan was dis
cussed in all its phases and COM
mittees were appointed to investi-
gate in detail and report TO mass
meeting at Walla Walla on March
9th The meeting was enthusiasts
tic and the enterprise was thought
feasible and profitable by all be-
cause of the low transportation
rates by water on the Columbia 10
markets they wish to reach.
Thus it appears that the men of
means in these cities are willing to
face an expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to secure a
commercial advantage that Kenne-
wick possesses by reason of her
line geographical position.
This advantage was printed out
II our article last week Oh THE
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES OF

these cities to furnish us the proof
of its value. Kennewick is alive
TO utilize this advantage.
An adequate and convenient
landing site has been secured and

steamboat will announce its APP
proach to the wharves of Kenue-
