THE CATAl0G HOUSES
VS..
THE HOME MERCHANT.

Some time ago a letter reached
The News Office over the sigma
ture of "Clod Hopper. " 1t was
and is. in the candid opinion OF
The News, an uncalled for and
unjustiiable attack on our local
merchants. The News, at the
time, called attention to its re-
ceipt and refused to publish it
because It's author, for some rea-
son to this paper unknown. had
failed 10 even intimate his lawful
name. This, his proper name,
The News advertised for, but up
To this good hour not one word
has it received as to his identity.
The letter in question, how
ever. presents matter Of deep
concern to all Of Us country as
well as town. 1t gives, in the
strongest sense, a stock argu-
ment Of the catalog houses them
selves; an argument which has
been listened to and thoughtless-
~ fallen in with by too many Of
our people already. If "Clod
Hopper" was alone in his views,
or nearly 50. The News would
pass him by, but he is not, and
as the time TO check an evil is al
ways NOW The News will here
give his letter and then in its
kindliest manner attempt TO
show him the error of his way.
The letter reads:
EDITOR News:
| have been interested in read
ing the pieces published in your
paper from time to time in re-
gard TO the catalogue houses and
in regard to patronizing the home
merchant and | have wondered if
it had ever occurred to you that
there might be two sides to this
question, and that it might well
be asked, does the home mer-
chant patronize the home people
or does he order his goods from
afar?

mans been here, some five years
but what would gladly buy from
home people all he could use OF
their garden truck at the prices
the same quality costs him laid
down here. OfcourSe, he should
know and is really entitled to be
informed that home parties have
these things for sale before he
makes his contract elsewhere.
If The News is at fault in this
particular bring in your proof
and it will give that merchant
who is so short sighted as to ig-
more his possible customers in
this matter a roast that he will
not soon forget.
In considering this produce
matter our country friends must
not overlook the fact that, at the
present time, our merchants are
confined in their actual needs to
a purely local demand. If they
go beyond this they lose money
and no set of men can be expect
ed to do this. In this connection
The News has often been told
that Amarillo pays more. No
doubt of it for Amarillo has more
mouths to feed. In either of the
towns all Panhandle towns for
that matter-the prices paid for
produce are far and away ahead
of the general markets. When
country butter at Fort Worth is
ten cents it is twenty five here
and when eggs are going at six
cents in Central Texas they are
II II here and so on all along
the line.
Clod Hopper is right when he
SAYS that business man ) best
capital is the good will of the
people. He is right again when
he says there are two sides to
the question at issue, but it does
seem to The News, premises con
sidered, that he is on the wrong
side of it.
Now, in general way, Clod
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1908-07-10

Hopper should know that, for the
cash, he can buy dry goods and
groceries, quality against quail
ity, just as cheap in Canyon City
as in Kansas City or Chicago.
He should know too that it is the
home merchants" that make
towns possible; that help build
its churches, pay its pastors and
maintain its schools. He should
know also that town, thus SuS-
tanned by its business men, adds
value to every acre of his farm in
proportion as his farm may be
near or far from it. He ought
also to be able to perceive that
these local business men and
those dependent upon them fur
nish him a local market always
the highest price-for much that
he produces and that these bust
ness men always pay a good pro
portion of the county taxes.
Will the catalog houses do any
of these things? Do they help in
any way, state or county? Do
they buy cattle, hay, wheat, oats
or country produce? To be can
did now is it not fact that every
dollar you spend with them, by
weakening your town, depreci-
ates your own property?
In concluding this article, al
ready too long, perhaps. The
News once more announces its
with reference to cata-
log houses. 1t is simply this:
Give home people the preference
in all things that may be secured
at home, the quality and price
being anything like equal.
When you buy of the catalog
house you pay spot cash. Try
your home man this way and ten
to one he'll duplicate the figures
if you make a reasonable allow
ance for the freight.

CARAVELLAS ACCIDENT.
The French steamer Caravellas, from
San Francisco, while entering this port,
ran on a shoal at point off Honmoku
on the morning of the 23rd, at about
. clock, but was relocated at high
tide shortly after noon, no damage be-

entered the harbor in safety in the af-

dent was due 10 the prevalence of
dense fog at that time.-sJapan GA

CANE AND FRUIT PEST IS
FOUND IN SAN JOSE, CAL.

San Jose Herald Mercury. rofessor
&c. W. Woodworth of the State Univer.
sity, who a few days ago at the meet
ing of the entomologists in San Fran
cisco, made public the startling discov.
cry that the Argentine ant, pest that
has done almost incalculable damage in
Louisiana, has made its appearance in
California has. been directing his at.
tention exclusively to visiting the dis
tricts, infested with this pest, which
up to the present time has been found
in but two places, Oakland and San
Jose, and looking toward means of ex-
terminating the insect. A large section
of East Oakland, the investigator says
is almost alive with the ant, district
more than mile in length and of ir-
regular width ranging in its extreme
points from Tenth to Twenty-fourth
street. He arrived in San Jose Satur
day morning in company with County
Entomologist Earl Norris and locked
over the portions of the city that have
been invaded by these South American
pests.
Mr. Earl Morris found the ant in
San Jose very plentiful in the district
of College Park and along the Alameda
nearer the city The discovery was
made day or so ago that the section

of the city about Orchard street and
that down near the Nendome is also
showing mp as a home for this little
pest. Reports from other parts of the
city point to its presence in many
other sections.
Louisiana, the only other portion
of the United States where the Argen-
tine ant has made its appearance, is,
and has been suffering for several
years past by its inroads there. It
made it's first appearance there about
sixteen years ago along the wharves
where the South American ships land
and from this fact it was supposed
to have come from Argentine or brazil
where the ant is found in abundance.
For a long time nothing was done
to eradicate it, bat some ten years ago
it became so plentiful that a movement
was put on foot to drive the ant from
the city of New Orleans. The move
ment was not general, however, and,
as neither the city Vor the safe paid
heed to the call of those in trouble in
New Orleans the pest spread until it
has almost completely killed 1.-THE or
ange, the fig and the cut flower indus
tries and has done unlimited damage
to the growing cane there. More than
5000 square miles is now infected by
this pest, which, in every case has COM
pletely driven out the native ant just
as it Is doing in California today.

SAILOR STABBED IN
A WATERFRONT ROW

In a fight between three sailors from
the schooner Helene and sailors from
the Likelike and the Mauna Kea, which
took place near the Queen street wharf
this morning about halfpast one
clock, William Manoa, from the Ii
kelke, was stabbed in the neck, his in
juries being such that he had TO be
hurried to the Queen s Hospital in the
police patrol wagon. The three haole
sailors are held for investigation by
the police.
At the station this morning the men,
Hawaiian and haole alike, told very
much mixed up stories, each claiming
that the others had begun the fight.
On" other native was rather badly
beaten MP. while the white sailors ali
bore marks of the fray.
The condition Of the stabbed man Is
regarded as serious.

subject. lady, who was a member
of small church, once told me that a
certain wealthy man, also a member,
very kindly paid ALI of the expenses
of the church, including even the min
ister's salary, so that it did not cost
the others anything. My answer was
that, although the act on the part Of
the wealthy man was generous, l
thought it a mistaken kindness to re-
move all obligations from the other
members, for it took away the good
that would come to them for the per
sonal sacrifice that in their means they
could make. So the obligations to our
fellow men are not all with the wealthy.
Every one has his obligation according
to his means From five to ten per cent.
for the former might really be as gen
erous. or more so, as the fifty per cent.
for the latter.
If all the wealthy men of the Islands
from Hawaii to Kauai should make
generous gifts this year, it would re-
suit in great relief, and if in the form
of endowments. be of great assistance
when the less prosperous years roll
around again.
1T Is Wen Known that thS IidNdiidii
Islands as a whole are generous at all
times. and this now is simply plea for
an extra effort in an extra good time.
to give assistance to a number of very
needy objects. These have been gen
eralized so that it may not seem that
there is an effort to get assistance for
certain objects only The field is wide
and oren for preferences. although
there are some institutions that | think
are more needy than others.

parture of the big Pacific Mail liner
Manehuria. For every passenger leav-
ing Honolulu there were. half a dozen
friends at the dock to see that one
away. And nearly everybody swarmed
over the docks, loading the departing
ones down with leis, until the fsome-
nades were strewn with petals. 1t was
jostling, merry crowd, albeit there
were tears and a frequent use of hand
kerehiefs. The Hawaiian band was
present and played airs familiar to
British ears, German national tunes
which were intended for local people

Fisherman Caught Beer.

When John Starr. an old Gloucester,
Mass, shad fisherman, made the last
haul of his gill net the other day, he
found it very hard work, with all the
signs of big game present. Sure that
he had caught a prize anchor or some
other valuable asset, he used all due
precaution. AS the net neared the sur
face Starr began to fear he had caught
a sea serpent, or some other ugly mon
ster of the deep. and he was wondering
what to do with it when two kegs of
beer bobbed up. The fisherman man
aged to get one of the kegs into his boat,
but the other got away from him. His
friends helped him investigate, and they
found that the beer was still fresh and
foamy.

STOLEN HORSE FINDS WAY HOME
Broke Away from Thieves and Pounded
OF Stable Door Until Admitted.

Dandy Dan, a 15-year-old pet horse
belonging to the Moffett Livery company.
returned to his box stall last night after
escaping from thieves.
With his velvet bay coat covered with
foam and with no harness on him. the
! animal appeared at the door of the barn
last night and whinnied- Then he
raped on the door with his hoot and
awakened the night foreman of the barn
and an officer of the company. They
opened the door and with a switch of his
tail and happy kick Dan ran upstairs
and delved into his hayrack
According to Mr.. Harvey the horse and
light top buggy to which the animal was
attached were stolen from in front of a
residence at West Van Buren, street
while he was inside. The horses alb
sence was mourned by the livery en-
ployes, for Dan is the pet of every one.
He is never ''hired out'' and is used only
by the officials of the company. 1t is be-
lieved that while the thieves We're en-
deavoring to change the harness and
hitch him to another rig Dan rebelled
and broke away. The buggy was later
recovered at West Van Buren, street and
Western avenue, and it is believed that
it was near this place that Dan escaped
from his captors.-Chicago Daily News.
