SIXTY DAYS CREDIT
FOR RETAIL DEALERS
That Credit Will Hereafter Be
lImited-Extends Now to Lo-
cal Consumers.

Upon being notified by wholesale
hardware dealers that henceforth retail
dealers will have but 60 days credit in
the future, instead of three months as
heretofore announcement will now be
made by them that the time of ex-
tending credit to local purchasers will
be curtailed.
Because of this, it will now be nee
essary for the dealers to demand
prompt payment from all customers
who have been accustomed to buy
goods on credit. In the past it has
been the custom to extend credit to
farmers until they have harvested their
grain, but now with the new ruling it
will be absolutely essential that the
period of credit be materially short
ened.
The same condition as exists here
is being faced by hardware dealers
in Umatilla county. The question was
threshed out at meeting in Pendle-
ton Thursday evening, which was at
tended by a number of Walla Walla
business men, and it was decided to
shorten the period Of credit that has
been given in the past.
Among those attending the meet
ing from this city were M. Timer, John
Smith. J. H. Morrow, T. N. Conway
Thomas Mountain, F. w. Kaiser. Fred
Hoskins, and Thomas Drumheller

1858 and was employed as packer for
the mines until 1864, when he was mar
ried to ROsilie Raymond. Thereafter
he engaged in farming and had ac-
Quired a comfortable competency by
his industry and enterprise. To that
union were born three sons and one
daughter, the latter having died sew
eral years ago. The sons, Joseph, who

Canada. and Jerry, of California, sur
Ivive him.

n BIG DAY
MANY VOTE
Contestants and Their Many Friends Are Polling Many
Votes and Today Has Been the Greatest Yet.
BY Next Week the 100000 Mark Will Be
Pas sed

AS the Daily Statesman5s popularity
contest progresses the more apparent
it is that it will be a most spirited race
for first honors. The list of votes is
growing daily with a rapidity that is
surprising and the enthusiasm and
energy that the contest has ELECTED is
bringing forth many of the brightest
and most popular, energetic young
women in the country.
These free trips, from an educational
standpoint as we'll as the desirable,
pleasant summer outing that they
make. have been the cause which has
aroused a great deal of enthusiasm.
The race so far has been one in
which there hasn't been any large
leads, but some of the contestants are
accommodating a good large reserve
vote and most any day may see some
one of the popular candidates take
the lead with a large majority.
OF course no candidate at this time
of the race could have an irretrievable
vote, nor is it possible to have one at
any time of the race, as no candidate
is sure of winning with any set num-
Der of votes.
Some candidates fear that there will
be a combination between other can
didates at the last moment to enable
some one of them to win, but that
| would be impossible as votes when
once ballotted are not transferable.
| Coupons. when counted after being
deposited in the ballot box at The

A gentleman from Boston, named Elisha Winter, has been visiting the business men Of this city in behalf Of "The Retail Merchants's Association of the United States and Canada,' of which he Is the New England organ izer.

Regulated credit and fair competition are among the ends to be secured. The Association is making efforts to inter- est members of the Legislature from this county in the passing of House bill No. 3l0-which provides for the equitable process of collecting indebt- edness, similar to that now in operation in Massachusetts.
 The Association also makes war on trading stamps, and advocates q tax on their use. It also aims at the dead beat-that ever present vampire, al- ways and everywhere dishonesty get ting part of the business mans pro fit.
 Next Thursday evening a meeting oi those who have identified themselves with the Association will be held in this city to form local county organi- zation. Delegates are expected from all the eastern part of the county.
 Windham county, IL Is expected will be fully organized by May lst, when concerted efforts will be made to secure the promised protection against credit losses and unfair competition.

 held for the production of "fhe Night
 Riders" a melodrama to be produced
 by members of the Onawa Club and
 their friends, at the Bradley theatre

 terest in amateur performances; among

 depredations of the lawIcss band Of
 night riders of Kentucky. Judge Har-
 beck and his son, the former coyeting
 Colonel shelby's plantation, the latter
 his daughter, make the riders their
 tools to help carry out their schemes, which always fail just as success seems in their grasp. Their plans ore foiled by the hero, Jack Willis, assisted by Fiimfiam and Bloomingali, who are always "Johnny on the spot" Need. less to say the hero finally carries the day, and the villain dies asking for giveness.
 The leading parts MabeI Shelby and Jack Willis, are taken by Miss Cecilc Benoit and Joseph Riyard. Charles BeIair Is Flimfam and A. A. Brodeur BloomingalI. The supporting compa- ny has been well chosen, and fl rehesr- sals are any criterion the play will be 2 dramatic success. Rehearsais are un- der the supervision of Bernard F.. Flynn, at one time member Of Bos- ton dramatic club. Tickets may be had of members in advance or at box office on and after Saturday, April A, prices 25c, 35c and 5Oc.
