DOWN A FLUME INTO THE SEA.
Lumberman Was Carried 5000 Feet
and Shot Into the Ocean.

With dislocated leg, twisted

Is alive, after one of the most exciting
adventures that a man ever went
through and came out alive, says the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Demaresq was at work at lumber
camp on Hotham sound when he
slipped and fell into dry shingle
flume. Down this, for 5000 feet, he
shot at so great rate that the skin
was burned from his body by the fric-
ton. From the end of the flume he
shot distance of 25 feet into the sea.
He managed to keep afioat until he
reached some rocks, $50 feet away.
He was too weak to Chamber upon the
rocks, but managed to cling to them
until he was rescued by his wife.
His wife was on the island, a quar-.
ter Of mile away, and was informed
by her frightened children that man
had shot down the fume and was

help. Unaided the woman launched
heavy boat and put off to the rescue,
little dreaming that the imperiled
man was her husband. When she
reached him her amazement and ter.
ror at discovering his identity made
her so weak that it was with difficulty
she was able to drag him into the
boat. Nevertheless, she succeeded in
doing SO, and then managed to get
him from the boat to the house. Then
she set off to the lumber camp for
assistance.
Two campmates of the injured man
rigged an improvised stretcher in the
boat and rowed % miles through
heavy seas until they reached the
, steamer Kootenay. The injured man
was placed on board and brought to
| the hospital here for treatment The
| physicians say that he will recover.

farmer who is the greatest patron OF
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants Of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share OF the
business of the community, maintain
a competition thct affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. 1t Is these half
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses Of
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set of harness, or a pair
Of stockings, or any of the necessities
or luxuries of life, and to get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the well written description, and, pass
ing the local merchant by, the mer-
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer-
chant who has helped to build the
community, he sends his dollars to
the catalogue house in the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What is the result?
One after another the doovs Of the
local stores are closed, and where at
one time there were half dozen mer-
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1907-01-11

chants, each bidding for his share of
patronage by offering fair prices for
that which the farmer had to sell,
there Is now but one merchant who
has a monopoly, not only of the sell
ing, but of the buying as WELL and he
pays what he pleases for the farmers
produce.
The farmer car continue to send his
money to the catalogue house in the
city for his supplies, but he cannot
send his produce to the same place.
In disposing of that he is absolutely
dependent upon his local merchant,
and by bis patronage of the catalogue
houses he has killed competition, and
must now take whatever Is offered for
what he has to sell.
Mr.. Farmer. are you helping to kill
the goose that Is laying your golden
egg?
Are you sending your dollars to the
catalogue houses and by SO doing kill
Ing the local industries Of your town?
Are you putting your merchants out
of business, and creating a monopoly
that will pay you what 1t pleases for
the products OF your farm?
II you are doing these things It Is
time for you to stop ana consider the
future. You will have to look but q
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1907-01-11

little way ahead to see the result, and
1t will not be an attractive picture that
greets you. The prosperous COM
munity of which you are now part
will fade like the summer flowers be-
fore the winter winds, and almost as
quickly.
It is the fact that there Is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
men who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the town
will be wiped off the map. The
churches will close for lack Of support.
The schools will cease to be a pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
Of birth, and your acres, thai are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to a market, will show
depreciation that will astonish you.
Your interests are identical with
those of the merchants of your town.
BY sending your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but when they
are forced to this they can pack their
stock of goods and go elsewhere, but
you cannot Pack up your farm and
move It; your acres must lie in the
bed you have builded for them whether
it be fair or foul, and it is up to you,"
Mr.. Farmer, to spend your money at
home, and in this way you can solve
the greatest problem that now con-
fronts this country.
Will you do it?

Bond Decision Is Important.

SOUTH MALESTER: Though not

that Judge Dillon of New York. the
bond expert, is to announce a favorable
decision I'm the matter of the 100000
bond issue which McAlester is to expend
for the new public school system and
the extension of the water and sewer ex-
ten.lon into the north END OF the city.
This decision will affect the bonds Of
all the territory towns, as they were all
issued under the same congressional en-

the bonds, refused to take them solely
upon the ground that they should have
been issued under the provision of 0

to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses, by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their com
munities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They DO not build side
walks in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building Of roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.
They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist In
the support of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata-
logue houses do for you and the
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your COM
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back 20 you. They will
never help to make city OF your vii
lage. They will never increase the
value Of your real-estate holdings by
| making local improvements.

be intended for either but that their motive is serious one.
 That the nations commercial inter ests on both sides of the Pacific are now SO great that adequate protection should be afforded at all times is with out dispute. That the administration fully realizes this fact and is moving rapidly in the strengthening of coast defenses is also apparent to the read ing public. The latest step and very wise one. is the work preliminary to the construction of a large naval sta ton at san Diego. The need of other defenses may develop as the days go by but the government is fully alive to the situation. The paragraphers to the contrary notwithstanding, it will be a long time before forts will be needed at Ventura, San Pedro. ocean Park. Long Beach, Redondo and Ala mites Bay. It is a nice thing for any section to have the government spend a lot of money locally and the South era California beaches ought to be pro- tected but it is hoped the people of those parts can get their legitimate proportion of the public funds with out bringing on a war with Japan to enforce their demands. It would be rather an expensive investment for the rest of the country.
