EFFECT OF PARCELS POST

A business man of Green Forest re- marked to The Tribune editor the other day that he sees the finish of the local merchant when the parcels post law becomes in full operation.
 The gentleman thus speaking is non advertising merchant and so far as he is individually concerned he may be correct in his prediction. But The Tribune is not prepared to share in his feelings in the least so far as it relates to the retail business, general ly speaking. There is only one class of the retail merchants that it will eff feet greatly, those who have turned a a deaf ear to the trumpets of modern progress and they are as good as down and out already. We don't know of an old school merchant who has made any money to speak of in the mercantile business the past ten years. This class will pass out quickly under parcels post.
 Under the provisions of the parcels post law the live-wire merchants opp portunities are correspondingly increas- ed with those of the catalogue houses, with the advantages left in his favor.
 The local merchant is in direct touch with the people whose business he is seeking. He can take advantage of cheapest freight rates, he has 8 cheap CT postage rate on rural routes and he has the medium of his local paper-the cheapest and the most effective means of advertising in existence.
 It is easy to figure out to the satis- faction of any man, woman or child that with these advantages the local merchant can self as eheaply an article delivered as can the mail order houses. When this is done the home merchant will be given the preference every time.
 The fact that people continually buy from the mail order houses, when they could buy as cheaply, and many times, cheaper at home IS due solely to the ingenuity of the mail order houses ad- vertising, proving our contention that advertising pays.
 Who ever heard of a mail order house that did not advertise?

Mdlledble Iron Works.

A massmeeting of citizens last Friday
evening at the city hall. was called ly
the Advancement Association to discuss
the best and most feasible method OF Sc
curing the necessary capital for the es-
tablishment of malleable iron works in
Watertown. There was fair sized au
dience present and ii. Wertheimer, pre-
sident of the association, called the
meeting to order and stated its object
After considerable discussion it was
thought best to appoint a committee to
investigate and determine the best
means ofraising the capital. The fol-
lowing citizens were appointed as such
committee: Otto Biefeld, W. R. Thomas,
Owain Hughes, +. A. Hoffman, and 4.
l.. Schempf.
Huaak &tenkunst of Milwaukee,
pracs zeal aRafleakle iron man, was pres
ent and rendered some information. He
said that $500 ton plant could be erect
ed at a cost of $4,000 and it would re-
quire at least $4,000 additional capital
to swing the business The plant would
employ about 200 men, One-quarter of
them at high wages. He stated that
5000 ton plant could be made out of the
original one at only slight increase in
expense and it could be run with prac-
tically the same amount of common lab
or as required in the one with $500 ton
capacity.
Otto Biefeld had so much faith in the
prbject, he said, that had he the capital.
he would build and operate such works,
for he is confident that it is good pro-
position.

Flowing from the north through Wa
tertOwn, Wis. and then nearly encir-
cling this city of industry, Rock river is
of historic interest because Of its associ-
atiOns with the Black Hawk war in 1882.
The length of this river, which emp
ties into the Mississippi, is about 300
miles and the scenery combines the rus
tic, the romantic and the picturesque
prairies, meadows, ravines, swamps.
mountainous bluffs, erOded palisades,
wide stretches of densely wooded Dot
toms, heavy upland forests, Ghallows,
spits and rapids. The islands, in Rock
river are numerous, many Of them being
several miles in length and nearly all
heavily wooded. Today many thriving
cities may be seen along the river, whose
different industries are supplied with
power from the numerous dams.
At Watertown is the large concrete
dam known as the "Rough and Ready.
which is a source of income of thousands
of dollars to the manufacturers of Wa
tertown. In the business section OF the
city, near Main street, is similar dam
and many steel bridges cross the river
at this part Of the city. From Water
town the meandering river continues to
widen on its course to the Mississippi
and to assume the characteristics Of the
great river into which it pours its food.

their great bereavement. The bereaved

from the family circle and cross the
boundary line between time and eternI-

dream of mortal life shall end. The
funeral was held Thursday afternoon at
the home at 80 o'clock and was con-
