He stopped short, for upon the in

anger.

Before he could reply she turned and

EXHIBITS TO
BE COMBINED
Idaho and Nez Perce Coun-
ties to Go Cahoot on
Seattle Display.

In response to overtureS from the
exhibit commissioners of Nez Perce
county, Commissioners l.. NJ. Harris
and Q. c. Lapp, of Idaho county,
went to Lewiston Tuesday to see
what could be done in the way of
making a joint exhibit of the two
counties products at the Alaska -Yu-
kon-Pacihc exposition. Idaho county
has the mineral IN abundance for a
magnificent display, Nez Perce can
show up fruit that will make the best
of them go some, and both produce
the finest of grain and other farm pro-
ducts Together they will make a
brace hard to head. While the full
details have not been agreed upon,
definite arrangements were made fol
uniting the two county displays, and
a telegram was sent Executive Com
missioner McKinlay at Seattle, asking
that space be reserved for them to-
gether. MIR. Harris was called home
by business, but Mr.. Lapp remained
to discuss things more at length with
the Nez Perce commissioners. Thi!
looks good movement, and will nc
doubt be so considered by all parties

Credit and Collections |.

With the spring season fully upon
him, the retail merchant should make
a strong effort to get in his back ac-
counts.
The merchant should remember
that he is not in business to lend mon
ey without interest, and yet that is what
he is doing in the case of outstanding
accounts. The money is owing and
should be paid, but unless the mer-
chant goes after it with dete rmination
it certainly will not in the majority of
cases be paid. The longer an ac-
count is allowed to run on, the more
reluctant debtor is to pay it.
The merchant should have no hes
i,ation in pressing for what is his own.
There is little fear of offending a Gus
toner who intends to pay, and the
man who kicks at a just reminder is
the man whose trade is rot worth
having at any time, because he pro-
baby never meant to pay if he could
avoid doing so. A merchant very
often forgets that the success of his
business depends not upon the amount
of trade done, but upon the profits,
the profits in turn depend upon the
prompt rendering and prompt settle
ments of accounts, and there the
great secret lies. A merchant should
also remember that other merchants
are pressing for their accounts and
getting paid, and why should he loan
his money longer than the other men ?
Outstanding accounts should be
gone after with determination, and a,
once, and the merchant should moi
only do this, but he should make the
resolution that in future he would col
lect his bills promptly every month.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the
customer in the end is grateful to the
merchant who presses for his accounts,
for it brings the former to realize the
extent of his obligations, makes hin
more careful in future, while the re-
ceipted bill gives him feelings of thank
fulnesS that the account has beer
paid.

r.., Choice Business Lots Sold
Within a Few Hours.
HOME CAPITAL INVESTED
Three More New Brick Business
Houses to Be Built.

In addition TO the purchase of the
Nam street business lot adjoining the
hank and Wilks lots on the west, by
VIM Allen, mention of which was
made by the Globe, on Thursday of
ast week the lot next to the Allen
Ourchase was bought jointly by James
Kikn, Elias Kilen and Henry Tel
cher Of Evan Evans. Thse sales in
clude the electric light and water
company's Offices and the harness
shop and hardware store of Ru-
dolph Bertsch, the latter of which
adioins w. E. Graham furni-
ure store on the east. 1t has been
understood for some time that Mr..
Graham has expressed willingness to
out up a substantial brick structure on
his lot provided the gap between the
bank corner and his place should be
built up in one solid brick block. 1t
Is now given out as settled fact this
will be done by Messrs. Allen, Kilen,
TeIcher and Kilen, and that Mr..
Graham stands ready 20 fulfill his part
Of the agreement. This means hve
brick business houses in one solid
block to be constructed at once.
Contractor Johnson is now getting
work under way on the bank and
Wilks buildings, and it is understood
that he will most likely get the con-
tract for the other buildings, which
will conform to the style of architec-
ture adopted by the first two buildings
named. The contract will be let
and the work commenced at the
earliest possible date on the new
structures, and it is claimed that the
record for quick construction will be
broken on these buildings.
The day following the last above
mentioned transaction, the Grange
vile Electric Light Co., purchased
the Frank Hogan lot and building on
Main street, opposite the Camas
Pralrie bank, and will move into the
same as soon as it can be put in prop
er condition.
Frank McGrane and Evan Evans
have also purchased sixty-6ve foot
frontage on Main street adjoining the
lamas Prairie bank on the east.
these lots have depth of 200 feet,
and are considered splendid invest
ment at the price paid.
From the above transactions, all of

ing 70 all new comers. And one of

mat all of the lots mentioned were
