You ask why Canada favors re-
ciprocity il it is to give US the best
Of it on these products. The ans
wer is easy:
First, the Canadian tariff is added
TO the price which the Canadian con-
sumer must pay. Canada desires
to relieve her people from this extra
price.
Second. Canada is willing to take
her tariff eff Of tho goods which we
sell her if in turn we will take our
tariff off Of the paper, wood pulp and
lumber which she sells US. IL our
tariff against these products were
removed she would sell US q still
larger amount OF timber products
than she now sells us. How could
that hurt the American farmer2
Who. then. would be hurt by
reciprocity? | will tell you. The
lumber trust and the paper trust.
Reciprocity would brig Canadian
lumber and paper here to be sold in
competition with the American lum-
ber and paper. This would give
the American people cheaper paper,
and the farmer cheaper lumber to
build houses and barns. So you
see why il is the trusts are making
such frantic efforts to defeat reci-
prCcity. They desire to hold q
monopoly Of the American lumber
and paper markets Let the farmer
be Of good cheer. He is not the fell
low who will be bit by reciprocity.
He viii be helped. The lumber
trust and the paper trust are the
ones who will feel the weight OF this
measure.
TAFT FIGHTS PRoGRRssIvEs.
President Taft is still fighting
progressive republicans. He first
endeavored to smother progressive
ism by refusing patronage to men,
berS of Congress who would not
vote for bills recommended by him
whether they thought them 10 be
for the public good or not. This
movement failed utterly. Insur-
gency increased instead OF disap-
pearing. Then the President used
all the influences at his command to
bring about the defeat OF Senator La
Toilette who was reelected by lar
geTvote than ever. Now the President
IS taking the leading part in the
fight against giving the progress
Sives of the senate the committee
places they demand. Inasmuch as
the Presidents former efforts caus-
ed two progressives to grow where
but one had grown before, the pro-
greSsives can afford to be patient.
RECIPROCITY ACT IMPROVED.
Practically the only change made
in the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment by the Democrats iu the House
was the addition OF a clause authoriz-
ing the President. by executive act,
to reduce the tariff OF this country,
on any item. whether included In
the treaty or not, whenever Cana

list. In other words weexpress will

Dorsey w. Shsckleford OF Mis-
sOuri, a member cia the Ways and
Means cC-aittee OF the House, has
prepared one " the most i.luminat-
ing letters on the subject of recipro-
city that has appeared. The docu

The lumber trust and the paper
trust are waginR a fierce fight
against reciprocity, says Mr..
Shackleford. They are making
desperate Efforts to get the farmers
to join them. Wherever possible
they have enlisted the papers which
circulate among the farmers. They
try To make the farmers believe
that, by reason OF the tariff. he gets
more than the fair market price for
his products.
"Canada has a tariff which opera
tes against our products sold in
Canada. We have a tariff which
operates against Canadian products

ment between the two countries to
modify both tariffs with a view TO

Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1911-01-21

Now that the late census figures of
state population are out, it is very in.
teresting and encouraging to note that
with one exception, Utah, every state
west of the Rockies mas increased in
population over 60 per cent in the past
10 years, and Utah has increased over
80 per cent. No state east of the Mis-
sissippi has shown this increase, and
only two, Florida and New Jersey, have
increased over 80 per cent Washing
ton shows the greatest increase, hav-
ing gained 100 per cent, which Iowa has
decreased three-tenth of one per cent.
This report is assuredly encouraging,
as the west needs most of all, good,
live people. 1t has the resources, in
numerablee and the climate is almost,
without exception, incompatible. The
outlook for the future immigration to
the west is very encouraging, and there
should be no let-up in the efforts to Sc
cure new settlers, as the future de-
velopment of this part of the United
States depends greatly upon the increas-
ing population.

Show window Advertising.

"Did it ever strike you,'' retailer
asked recently, "that after all a win
dow trim is in the last sense an adver-
tisement, and just as you would use
advertising space to get custom so
should you handle your window trims
with the same object7" says the South
ern Merchant.
"Take, for example, the present time.
What would you advertise in the papers
to push your sales2 Prices Style is
settled, pretty nearly everybody knows
the kind of goods that they want to
buy, if they contemplate buying any
thing, and the only thing they are in
terested in is prices, and since many
people do not contemplate buying at
all, it is only prices that induce them
to become customers.
elf this is true of the advertisement
it is also true of the show window, and
the trim that is most effective at this
time is a trim in which price cards
along with the goods shown are the inn
portant feature. Now, suppose it is
the opening of a season, say next Sep
TENDER for example. Then the thing
that you would talk about in the papers
would be your styles for fall, and by
the same token it would be tasteful ar.
rangements of fall models that would
be most effective and attract most at
tention in the show window.
"And so it would be possible, il
necessary, to go more into detail with
these things. 1t will be found every
time that what constitutes the most eff
fective advertisement constitutes also
the most effective window trim and j.
most calculated to bring customers into
the store.'

Dealers and Freight Claims.

retailer who is pressing a freight
claim against a railroad can aid him.
self and expedite matters by observing
a few simple directions as to the man
ner in which he should 60 about it, says
Progressive Retailer.
His claim, it must be remembered,
should always have the support of the
original bill of lading, the receipted
freight bill and either the original in
voice or a certified copy of the same.
The two first named are needed by
the railroad agent so that he can make
sure that there shall be no duplicating
of the claim. No claim agent can well
consider a claim in the absence of these
papers. Whoever files the claim
whether he be the shipper or the con
signee, or some one else, provided he
has furnished these two documents, is
taken for granted to be the person en-
titled to any remuneration under the
claim.
The reason why the railroad wants
either the invoice or proved copy of
the same is obvious.
When the claim reaches the railroad
postal card in acknowledgment is
mailed to the claimant, which shows
the amount of the claim and the rail
road s number Thus, if the claimant
should have occasion, at any time, to
consult the railroad as to his claim, the
agent could Immediately lay his hands
upon the papers in the case, guided by
the number.
Claimants should remember that the
railroads have many such cases to dis.
pose of, and that each must travel its
full ofeofol 20 kafDra ~.
be settled.
When the claim is received the agent
sends the paper back over the route
which the freight under consideration
has travelled until it reaches the point
where it was delivered to the railroad
If the error was made there, that fact
is agreed upon. If not there, then the
papers are sent to each transfer sta
tion, so that the point where it occur
red may be located. This takes time
and shows that the blame for delay car
not be laid on the agent before whom
the claim is filed.
Much trouble can be avoided if the
merchant from whom the claim origi
mates would observe few simple rules
l. Each claim should be accompa
MED by paid freight bill.
2. If the claim is one based upon al
alleged overcharge, the shipping re
ceipt or bill of lading, which show,
both the weight and freight rate, SHOULD
be attached.
3. If it is for lost merchandise, il
addition to the paid freight bill, Their,
should be attached the original invoic,
or a duplicate of the same, also tn,
shipping receipt, showing that tn,
goods were received at the shipping
point.
4. The claimant should further max,
his claim on his regular billhead, Civ
ing the item if for loss, OF the amour
paid if for loss, or the amount paid /
for freight overcharge, deducting tn
correct charge-the remainder show
ing the alleged overcharge.
There is, however, no little justice il
the point made by some merchants
that the filling of the original evidenc
, with the railroad leaves the claiman
, without further possession of the same
and that the railroad company nigh

Meanest Traders in the World.

There is a colony of merchants in
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who
can give cards and spades even to the
bland Chinaman, "for ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" They
take one match out of every box they
sell until they have enough matches to
fill another box and so make an extra
cent. They shave tiny flakes off cakes
of soap and boil them down to make
other cakes. They put thin layer of
molasses on the bottom of the scoop
with which they serve rice so that a
few grains will stick to the bottom.
These are only a few of their thousand
tricks to turn a dishonest penny. With.

HOW TO SUCCEED.
Depends Entirely on Superior Merit
and knowledge

During the last few years, conditions
in all lines of business, even profess
sional life, have changed so completely
that every man is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success he
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing and do it well.
So it is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable rec
ord maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney, Liver and

ming the proprietors had so much conf
dence in it that they invited every one
to test it, free of cost, before pur.
