titude of the business men that counts.
One good live business man in a small
town is a benefit to the whole place. lie
brings trade to all. People are swayed
to and fro by OF inions that are formed
sometimes without careful reasoning.
1t is the best policy to treat everyone
fairly and honestly.
Let the average farmer think that he
has been given the worst cid of bar
gain and he will ponder over the matter
for years. IL is not a good idea for
merchant to have scale of prices for
different customers. Charge John Jones
$l2 for suit of clothes, and sell the
same suit to his neighbor, Jim Smith
for $l1, and Jones will find it out and
feel that he has been treated unfairly,
and Jones is right about it too. There
is one town, county seat. in n western
state, place of nearly 5000 population.
Its trade territory extended for dozen
miles in each direction. The country
has large foreign population. They
are the best classes of customers, liberal
buyers and not quibblers over prices.
Still they desire just treatment. a few
years ago thousands of dollars in trade
was diverted from the town through a
dealer in agricultural implements being
n poor business man. a wealthy Ger
man purchased from him several hun
dred dollars worth of agricultural i'm
| plements, wagons and other goods. The
farmer wanted a harrow. A price was
Ell was at town where there were but
two stores and an elevator. He
saw the same kind of harrow and
was told that $3.50 would buy it. He
days, called ON the man from whom he
had purchased his implements and again
asked the price of the harrow and was
told the same as before He then stated
that the same make and kind of a har-
row had been offered him for 81 so less.
After some talk he was told he could
have the piece of machinery for the
same price. He did not take it, but Sc
cured the one offered by the dea Ter in
the smaller town He did not like the
style of the dealer in the larger town.
In fact he concluded that the other store
keepers of the place were of the same
caliber. He quit trading and not only
was his trade lost to the county seat
town but the trade of a score Of his nei-
ghbors and they even chan ged their
post Office addresses to the smaller place
The trade of this one farmer lost to the
county seat was the means of building
up a healthy trade in the smaller town
and bringing to it other business places.

LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE.

The numerous big and expensive
advertisements which various Nevada
operators are carrying In eastern
financial publications should assure
the people there that plenty of ac-
tivity and heap of enterprise are
loose in the sage brush, The advice
OF the News with regard TO these adj
vertisements of Rawhide, Goldfield,
Fairview, Round Mountain and other
gold camp opportunities is to look
into them very thoroughly. The
sums asked in most instances for
investor, or rather to the reckless
ness of the race track gambling in
stock are small, but that is no rea-
son why money should be thrown
away and the mining industry later
on blamed for fault properly
chargeabe to the carelessness of the
stinct The investor belongs in an
other class and looks into mining en-
terprises below the surface of the
newspaper page before coming
through with his money, which Is
as it should be. While many of the
enterprises which are now being
boosted in the gold camps of the
state, particularly in the new ones,
may later on pay handsome returns.
their real value is in the large num-
Der of instances yet to be determined.
Until then the public is asked to In

there that has sufficient development
done as yet to warrant statement that
II can paw out on its capitalization

may be in sight to this time In its
property. 1t is prospect simply
and solely, precisely as is the Gran
lite district to which there has been
a rush on from Ely during the last
ten DAYS. and than which Rawhide
looked no better, had less to show
in fact, at the beginning Of its rush
six months ago. AS a matter of fact,
RawhiGe has not as much In real
work and possible worth to show to-
day as has the Granite, but 1T has
a good strong lead on the number of
people in the field. The public, how
ever. moves at the call of chance and
1t is not at all out of the range of
possibility that the same time OF life
that Rawhide has enjoyed will see
as large population in Granite as
there is in the southern camp today,

Holding for Better Price.

P. J. Plaisted. travelling freight agent
for the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad. is home from trip into Wy
oming. Mr.. Plaisted is spending much
of his time now arranging for wool
shipments over the Milwaukee.
He states that there is so much wool
ready for market and yet unsold in Wy
oming that warehouses at shipping
points are not large enough to hold all
and much is piled out in the open. Not
more than $780, pounds has been
shipped out of Wyoming, says Mr..
Plaisted. Wyoming sheepmen, the
same as the sheepmen of Idaho. are
holding for better prices. while buyers
are urging eonsignments, although
willing to buy at the lo-cent figure Of
fered at the first of the season and
which has not gone higher at any time
since
1t is stated that the only wool ship
ped out of Idaho this season were two
ears from Mountainhome and one car
out of Bliss. But this was not taken BY
recent purchase. 1t was secured on
consignment last fall.
There are several well known buyers
from the east in Boise now but they
are not huying wool. They spend most
of their time rubbing against the ex-
perts in Solo playing. They have
not gone above the l0-cent figure and
as growers of this section seem willing
to wait for what they expect to be bet
ter prices. they cannot be induced to
let go of any oftheir product on consign-
ment ~ Boise Statesman.

Idaho for 800 miles, and by cunning art
has brought it out of the rock-walled
canyon, on TO the once arid fields where
sun and soil and water together con-
quer the desert almost at breath.
The Snake river has two principal
branches. The North Fork rises in
Henry's lake in Idaho just west of the
Yellowstone park, and the South Fork
rises in the Yellowstone park; flowing
first south for $50 miles on the east side
OF the Teton range. Ii then breaks
through this mighty range of granite
and turns back on its track and flows
northward nearly the same distance un-
til 1T meets the north fork of the river
neai, Rexburg, in Fremont county. Af-
ter the south fork breaks through the
Tetons it enters broad fertile valley
and at the junction of the two river is
the center of one of the earliest and
most profitable sections of irrigated
land in the state. The upper river val
ley was early irrigated, because it was
comparatively easy TO get the water
out of the river into the bitches. The
lower valley is also easily watered in
the same manner, as well as getting
much water from the Boise, Payette
and Weiser rivers. - Shoshoni Journal.

IDAHO'S GREAT RIVER
What il Brings to the State in the Way
Of Prosperity and Opportunity

From the roof of the continent, from
the eternal snow-clad peaks of the
main range of the Rockies, come the
waters that supply the Snake River
valley irrigation projects. The Snake
river has its head in the great Yellow
stone National Park, that land of wond-
ers, where the world seems turned up
ON end, where through the thin crust
is vomited the strangest medley of hot
water, hot mud, scoraie. and where
tremcrs of the earth are of frequent
occurrence. One could almost imagine
that the Evil One dwelt there, lurking
in the geysers, the steaming cones of
the, hardly extinct VOLCANOES, and the
seething hot mud boiled over Titanic
eauldrons of solid rock.

visiting her parents and friends for the
past three months, reports much inter

Mrs. Hall, people looked me up, when

sought information regarding the Gem
State, its resources. climatic conditions.
etc. They asked all kinds of questions
about the methods of irrigation, as they
had all heard of our phenomenal crops
where water was available. 1t was also
a surprise to me how many people had
heard of the Power City and were in
terested in its phenomenal growth. /"
