TRADE Ar HOME.

We wish to call especial atten-
ton to the statement on first page
of this issue made by our butchers
in regard to their prices and the
matter of home patronage. The
same principle applies to any de.
partment of trade in Our city. If
Our good people will but stop to
think they will most assuredly
know that our merchants cannot
pay rent, or If fortunate enough to
own their property, pay taxes,
insurance, clerk hire, freight char
ges, carriage and the dozen other
different expenses incident to the
business, and carry good stocks of
goods If our people simply use
them to tide over emergencies and
when they have greater leisure run
over to Portland and buy the bulk
of their supplies.
Our people should also consider
who pays their taxes in St. Johns,
the merchants of Portland or the
home merchants. They should
bear in mind that if in an emer-
gency they may need little credit,
it is not the Portland merchant who
comes into the breach and carries
them over tight place, but the
home merchant Then il is due
him to receive a generous patron
age when money is plentiful and
we are able to pay the cash.
Our home merchants may not
be altogether blameless in the mat
ter. The Portland merchants by
their attractive advertising Of some
which they sell at cost or
less, induce Our people to go there,
on getting back more
than they lose on the special sales
from other purchases their patrons
make while there. Our merchants
might well give their prices in
their advertisements showing that
their prices are as low as are those
IN the big city, except perhaps Ia
these specific cases Of sacrifice sales.
In this, our butchers have taken
The initiative and have given their
prices. Our butchers keep their

Yes, Hood River done il again.
Last year when the bulk of the
crop was sold for sSIS per box all
the knockers there, aud there are
a few the same as here, declared
that prices had reached the limit;
that from that time on the prices
would retrograde until high class
apples requiring expensive culture
would not pay for the growing.
The sale of Hood River first class
apples Tuesday OF last week at
approximately s.. so per box to the
Davidson Fruit Co., OF that city,
gives the Knockers a knock out
blow in the solar pleXus, or words
To that effect. Don't write your
friends in the east that Hood River
apples cost five cents each by the |
carload in that city, however, lest
they put you on the Ananias list.
Just ask them TO write for prices.
There is no Use in talking, the
Hood River Apple has the world
skinned a mile for excellence in
color shape, keeping qualities and
flavor, and when il comes to prices
these apples are in class to them

There are certain restrictions which

deem necessary for the protection
Of society against those individuals
who have no regard for the rights

anarchy, These restrictions are
embodied in national, state aud
municipal laws. We are living in
the land which boasts that the
