would have been cheered and hearts
warmed; but no, it went to swell the
dividends of surfeited, boastful city
concerns.
The live and let live doctrines was
overlooked; its old-fashioned whole
omenes was utterly disregarded.
The country merchant would have
been engaged in his daily struggle,
instead of battling at long odds
against ostracism, adversely, big bills
and meager receipts.
Think of 5000, 600, 900, we who cause
the catalogue houses to flourish as the
cedars of Lebanon, and the green bay
tree; remember that their prosperity
is at the expense of your brother, the
local merchant, and local progress.
Then ask this pertinent question: Can
we afford to play the game longer;
can we longer stultify local interests?
This great evil affects every farm
err, teacher and work hand, every
home, every school, every church in
every country community. 1t also
touches the interests of the physician,
preacher and pedagogue. 1t really
robs the country merchant before his
eyes, in a heartless way. He sees the
freight yard crowded with consign-
ments to individuals from great cata-
logue houses, and sadly does he look
at his country store with its stock
accommodating, for want of trade, and
thus decreasing in value every day.
Git. - aa.r h. 1nAlr OF tho wafrnon
of bankruptcy hourly being fastened
because his townsmen prefer the cata-
logue house with its ubiquitous cir
culars. Those train loads of goods
were bought with money that should
have found it's way into the honest
hand of your local merchant, who has
the good of your locality at heart, and
who is expected to contribute literally
and continuously to very moral and
benevolent institution in your midst.
Tnen likewise remember this, that OF
all the millions thus sent to swell the
Golfers Of houses in great cities, not
one cent will ever return to bless your
community; to clotAe the naked, to
feed the hungry or to educate the
ignorant!
This is certainly a misguided, ILL.,
advised policy; If self preservation is
the first law of nature, the fact just
stated should cause lovers of this
country to think. Continue this policy
and what follows? The value of real
estate decreases, local improvements
cease material progress stops, the
whole country suffers.

still claiming, however, We are not far behind.
Coming to this country ten years ago because of dissatisfaction with
the wages paid at my old home 1 have learned that the claims made were
wellfomded. The American workman does do better and more work
than the workman of other countries.
Frequently searching for the reason 1 have reached the conclusion
that the Amercan-born is naturally a hustler, and that soon a foreign
workman learns to hurry in order to keep pace with his felow-wOrkman
then comes haste with good work and finally work that is superior.
When / first went to work in Lynn, Mass, while the tools were the
same, 1 could not keep up with the others. Orders were flying thick
and fast around the shop and everybody seemed in a hurry. was accus-
toned to taking my time and turning out what | thought was a good
days work. Goods came in, were wanted in a hurry, and soon l found
myself working much more rapidly than ever before, and turning out
better work, too.
It's in tine air. We Americans, for 1 am one now, are in a hurry.
and at the same time we want good things. We do not waste time fguf-
ing on what to do but go ahead and accomplish things We can beat the
world, and all because of energy and a disposition to go ahead, not being
content with things as they are, but trying to improve Then, conditions
are different. While l have often heard it said that foreign workmen live
as well or better than American l know this is not true, With the best
schools in the world for the children and a little home, the skilled
workman takes an interest and thus beats ~
his / reign competition. ~ TSe

Fortunate Men Of PromInenee.

Admirers of great, rich or famous
people often bestow their wealth upon
the objects OF their regard. The Ger
man emperor heads the list OF lucky
ones so favored. His receipts in
money and real estate during the last
ten years would, 1t is said, make a
millionaire enYious. Following prece>
dent, a Hamburg merchant prince left
more than $1,000. 900 to the emperor's
chancellor, whom Kaiser William inn
mediately created Prince" Buelow.
William Jennings Bryan recently
came by wealth in the same way. In
England Lord Allerton has received
$1O0,O 900 from an admirer of his public
career and DR.. Jameson inherits a sum
one-hfth larger under the will ot Mr.,
Belt. Queen Victoria was very for
tunate in her admirers. of whom the
wealthiest was Nield, who bequeAthed

order citizen. If a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, it is good enouEh
for a man to SPEND HIS Monty
in. Patronize your own town papers,
build them up, and they will build
your town up in increased trade and
greater opportunities"
These are the words Of wisdom aid
foresight from a prudent, patriotic
man. AS it is to-day, these words are
expressive of the opposite of what
should be in many a country district.
The mail order citizen may think he
is gaining; the truth is he is saving
off the limb upon which he sits. Dis
aster only can follow. The mail or
der citizen makes his money locally
and scatters it abroad in a field where
it is not needed; this is unfair to both
the town and to its merchants. This
shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper,
at the same time he pursues a policy
which tends to destroy both. Then,
publishers ought to be careful how
they exploit and give publicity to the
mail order houses; even if they are
paid we'll for the space, it reacts dis
sstrously on the towns best pros
poets,
Let men stand by the local mer-
chant, let them protect his interests,
for they thus further their own. The
town that made the man should be
made by the man. This is fair to all.
Let men ponder well this truth, that
we are all interdependent; that the
vein of brotherhood underlies the en-
tire social and commercial fabric.
That together we stand or fall; that
the good of the country demands 10y
atty and practical cooperation.

The official figures, just forthcom.
ing, show that leather takes IN impor-
tant place in the commerce of the
United States, the aggregate having
amounted to $3.50, 600, 900 in 1906. This
represents a rapid growth, our leather
dealings ten years ago having been
but sos, 900, 900. Our imports are main
ly hides and skins, which are the
crude material for our leather-work-
ing industries, while foreign countries
are taking Il manufactures of leather
in many forms and in increasing
quantities. In 1906 we sold abroad
50, 100000 worth of boots and shoes
and $25, 600, 900 worth of sole leather.
The biggest item in imports of this
character was $32, SOC, 900 worth of
goatskins, to be made up into the
high-class American shoes which are
steadily walking into favor the world
over.

In a certain rural community, this
official order and warning was issued:
Unless bad roads are fixed there
will be no rural delivery at all" It is
impossible to put roads in repair with
out money. This lack of mean can
not be traced to poor crops, for the
harvest just gathered in has been
superintendent. Men cannot support
and build up business %oncerns in dis
tant cities without sacrificing the
local good. Is it fair to establish the
city by depriving the country of its
Just support?
Many hold forth the idea thas the
country is the feeder of the city.
This is only partially true. That doc
trine has been preached till the text
is t~hreadbare. 1t would be much
wiser for men to get a new text and
talk and work the country up, then
allow the city, including it's mail or
der Octopus, to work its own prob
lens awhile. This, instead of being
selishness, would be the finest order
of common sense. A more marked

The rural population complain Of
lack of facilities and conveniences; in
order to obviate this, let 5000, 900, 900

Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1907-04-04

A farmer who has just driven into
Vermilion. Saskatchewan, in a dog
sled brings word that he is running
the most northerly wheat-raising
ranch in the world, and he submits
specimens of fine grain to prove the
statement. AS his farm is 1900 miles
above the international boundary line
it certainly is pretty well north, but
the farmer is enthusiastic over the
conditions. All the region needs, he
afirms, is the opening up of communi-
cation, as travel by dog conveyance
and without roads or trails is a little
slow. He admits that the winters are
a trife severe up there, but says the
summers are great for grain raising.
No doubt Canada will hail this as a
fresh boom for her wonderful north
west, but it is quite likely that the
average farmer would prefer a section
which does not require a combination
of agriculture with arctic exploration.
