A BIO DEPART
MENT STORE,
Long-BeH Lumber Compa-
ny Threatens TO Start One
I'm Baxter Springs If New
Lumber Yard Is Put In.


proposition was talked up in
this city. it seemed to strike the
Long-Bell Lumber Company in a
tender spot, and when it became
apparent that the effort to start
new yard will probably be sue
cessful, the company. through its
local representatives, threatened
to put in a big department store
here and sell goods strictly OH a
ten per cent basis. This pro-
gram was hardly announced,
however. when some of the busi-
ness men who had agreed to take
stock in the new company, at
once expressed willingness to
double their stock i'll the new
yard.
Mr.. Masters, the local repre-
sentative of the Long-Brll COM
pany. tells us that the starting
OF Il new yard will undoubtedly
result in big decrease in the re-
tail price of lumber. IL we are
not very badly mistaken that Is
inst is wanted. He says there Is
no money in the lumber business
al Columbus now, since the price
of lumber has been lowered there,
but inasmuch as the present
wards have been doing business
in Columbus for several years we
are inclined to the opinion that
they are at least paying eX-
pcnscs. We never yet heard n a
man sticking to a business that
continued to lose him money.
As to the department store. LET
it come. If the establishment OF
one will cut living expenses in
half. why would it not be Il good
idea to get another one opened
up. so we could live for nothing
cut off the other half!
If the people of this country
can buy all of the neceSsarieS OF
life in Baxter Springs on a mar
gin of ten per cent profit, Baxter
Springs will become the greatest
trading place i'll the country.
The stock of the new company
is being rapidly taken, and it
seems the project will be a go.

devil, Thrice armed is he who
hath his quarrel just"

that applications must be made

torn and spattered with blood, his face was
cut and bruised, and he appeared about to
faint. Hotel attaches helped him to his
room and summoned doctor to attend him.

lection of an assault. Koran was held In
