HAVE CONFIDENCE.
After You Once Find a Firm Is All
Right Stick to Il.


Right Stick to 1t.
Commercial News: Just a word of
advice to our friends among the retail
merchants. This is intended for the
men who lack a good stiff spinal COL
umn, for men without nerve or sand
sufficient to say no to these ingrates
of jobbers and manufacturers who are
trying TO sell him at one price and who
are selling the same line of goods UNI
der another brand at a much lower
price to the big cataloguers in Chi
cago.
Are you aware of the fact that the
majority of jobbers and manufacturers
are loyal to you? Don't think for a
minute that because some of the big
ones are in the bad actors list that
there are not numerous concerns just
as good if not quite as big that are
working for your interests who will do
more for you in one season than the
independent roosters will do for you
in a life time.
Don't be backward about patronizing
the concerns that are right once you
discover that they are right. You may
be forced to buy some stuff of the fell
low who is wrong, but you should al
ways give preference TO the, man who
is right. Get rid of the fellow who
wishes to hog it all soon as you find it
convenient to do so.

Another Bad Boy.

The proprietor of hotel in the
northwest, who is particular to have
honest employees, always makes it a
point when engaging bell boys to have
boys who live at home with their par
ents, believing that such boys are more
reliable and more likely to be honest
than the wanderers who go from town
to town. One day the father of one of
his home-li living boys came to him and
said: "Mr. -, l wish you would
pay me Georges wages instead of Civ
ing it to him. The boy stays out all
night, doesn't give us any of his money

Spokane Getting Ready For the Big
National Credit Mems Convention,


The following from an Associated
Press report is an indication that the
boys in and around Spokane have their
thinking caps on:
Spokane, Wash, April 6.-When the
National Credit Mems association
meets in Spokane next July, it's dele
gates, representing various lines of
trade in all parts of the United States
will be urged to adopt code of ethics
to govern wholesale houses and jobbers
in their dealings with retail stores. w.
d. Sanders of Occur d'Alene, Idaho,
president of the Inland Empire Retail
Grocers' association, will present a
code, in effect as follows:
'"That the wholesale merchants and
jobbers exercise the utmost loyalty TO
the retail dealers in selling only to
those who are entitled to buy at whole
sale.
THAT they do not encourage any per-
son to embark in business in commune
ties already supplied with stores to
handle the trade.
THAT they refuse financial support
to any dealer who has not the training
or ability TO succeed, and who through
ignorance of the cost of doing busi-
ness, sells goods at loss, thus caus-
ing annoyance to competitors and loss
of legitimate profit"
The foregoing has been adopted by
the Spokane Wholesale Merchants as
ISOLATION. effective at once, and it will
greatly simplify matters and protect
dealers In the Spokane country.
Philip Carbary, secretary of the In
and Empire Retail Grocers' associa-
ton, says the enforcement of the pro-
Of the code will eliminate box
car peddling, a traffic that is harmful to
wholesalers and communities in gener- |
al, as 1t results in throwing shop worn |
and cheap goods upon the market and
prices. He believes 1t q |
means Of protecting the trade and the
honest customer.

GUT LAST ROCK IN

Complete Job on Fri

NEW RECORD AT ELIZABETH
CounciImen and City Officials to
Return from Long Trip
Today
NEW RECORD AT ELIZABETH

The San Fernando tunnel is done
and yesterday the north and south
portal gangs of miners "swapped
chaws" through the hole. The bore
for this tunnel is completed and all
that remains is to line the bore with
cement from the municipal cement
plant at Monolith. This tunnel is the
last through which the owens river
water will pass on its way to Los An
geles. The breaking of the last inch
of rock was cut by the night shifts,
which came together at midnight Fri
day.
This joyful news was transmitted to
the Los Angeles office of the aqueduct
early yesterday morning and while the
good taste still fingered in the mouths
of the aqueduct officials a message
was received showing that all tunnel
records would again be broken on the
Elizabeth lake tunnel. The Elizabeth
lake gangs have a habit of breaking
worlds tunnel records every month,
so there was nothing startling in the
news, but it went pretty we'll just the
same. The record for April will sur
pass all previous records by at least
300 feet The exact amount will be
known when measurements arc made
Monday.
The council and other city officials
who have been making an inspection
tour of the aqueduct during the past
week will arrive in Los Angeles this
evening. Yesterday the party made
an automobile trip over Gray ridge in
the Jawbone mountains, where they
found eight miles of splendid road that
has been made by Los Angeles for
transportation facilities. This road
cost but 100000, but it is considered
one of the best pieces of mountain
road in the state. Today the party
will go through the Antelope valley
and the Elizabeth lake region. From
there they will go through the Saugus
division and then follow the course of
the aqueduct into Los Angeles.

Mrs. Fred M. Smith of 616 South Olive

In 1906 the parents left Liverpool for
Los Angeles Not knowing what would

left their son behind with friends. Mr..
Smith found employment on the street
car lines after his arrival here. The
prosperity OF the couple, however, has

years having passed, they decided that
the boy would be able to make the
trip by himself. He left Liverpool
