THE IMPORTANCE OF
CONFIDENCE

once a mans confidence is
" gained his trade is assured.
This is a business rule that is
almost an axiom. To gain this
confidence it necessarily follows
that the merchant must first
make the acquaintance of the
customer. After that it is q
question of give and take.
1T is CONFIDENCE LONG
AND CAREFULLY FOSTER
ED THAT HAS BEEN ONE
OF THE MAINSTA VS. OF THE
MAIL ORDER HOUSES. The
only weakness in the fabric has
been that the trade relations of
buyer and seller were to a great
extent impersonal. Naturally,
there is no commercial conf
dence quite as firmly based as
that which exists between the
individual merchant and the in
dividual customer, who deal face
to face.
Now is the time for the local
merchant to develop this conf
dence in the wider field which
the parcel post has opened to
him. He can reach customers
within his zone at less cost and
far more eXpeditiously and sat-
isfactorily than any mail order
house. Once the buying public
becomes aware of this fact it
will speedily transfer it's allie
glance from the mail order
houses and deal with the man
near home

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA

In recent election on the question
of fine removal of the County site
Sylvia the vote of Sylvia precinct
was remarkable and highly COM
mendable as showing a unanimity
of thought and purpose which is
worthy of the most serious consider
alton.
Out of a registered vote of 800
there were cast 314-all but six-only
IL being against the proposition.
In the Couny the removal move
ment carried by a majority of 675
of the votes cast and ATT of the
qualified vote.
AS was argued during the cam
paign, the County site is an index
whereby strangers judge the general
prosperity and spirit of the County.
The people of the county have
placed their confidence in Sylvia and
it is up to us to make good. We
must make the best appearance
possible and be ever on the alert te
capture the approval of strangers
and of our own people.
The prosperity and spirit of {
town is judged by the condition O
the streets and the general appear
ance of the town. If we woul(
seek the approval of strangers, w
must clear up our streets and bacl
yards and make our town, delight
full place in which to live.
We owe it to ourselves, Ito on
county and to the stranger With
our gates, to place our streets in
more presentable condition.

During the session of the general
Assembly the freight rate discrima-
ton was brought to the attention
of the presidents of the several
railroads doing business in the state
They made their pledge to the Leg
islature that the evil would be rem
edied. The legislature adjourned.
There have been conferences, each
adjourning from time to time.
Nothing definately has been done
1t is stated that freight rate discri-
mination cost North Carolina six
million dollars a year. If that be
true the six months that have been
wasted since the general Assembly
commenced has cost the people of
the State three million dollars
Each week that is wasted puts one
hundred and thirty odd thousand
dollars into the hands of the rail-
roads out of the pockets of the
people OF this state, Whatsoever
you do doquickly."

Lights More Lights

Had Holbrook a few nor e lights the same as the Holbrook Drug Go. have and also Lee New mans in front of his hotel, at nights, when strangers are in Holbrook, or when trains are passing thru, the effect would be to cause the stranger tarrying with us for one or more days, to, when in other parts speaks out for Holbrook and passengers on the train sit up and look" and comment on our progressiveness. Had we three more lights, one at the depot, one somewhere along between the depot and Jud La thorps, then another just about Wetzler's hall or near the post office it would help wonderfully. The light question at night is worth a thought and action.

SCHOOL NOTES
 OF INTEREST

With an average enrolment of 113 and the highest enrolment IF, when the seating capacity of the building is 112, causes con- siderable thought over what is to be done to house the school chil- dren next year. The increase in average attendance over last year is about 25, and if Holbrook con- tinues to grow, the increase will be approximately larger every year, so it will not be economy to adopt half way plans,
 The best educators have decid- ed that there should be not over 35 pupils in one room, unless in a primary room under direction of a teacher and an assistant. The assistants work is to see that desk work assigned by the teach CT is done, and done properly. Primary work requires so much individual direction and help that this method secures larger results for the amount expended than any yet devised.
 The lower grades have been busy making valentines and the boxes are to be opened Thursday afternoon.
 Friday is a holiday because of the admission of Arizona, Febru- ary 14th. 1912. The good Saint Valentine" is not responsible, as some of the little people thought.

ARIZONA LUMBER
 GOES TO BOSTON

Any criticism that the Uni ted states forest service is not selling all the timber that can be cut, to advantage on the reserve, is without foundation, so far as Northern Arizona is concerned.
 This statement was made a few days ago by B. T. McGoni- gle, president of the Flagstaff Lumber Mfg company. He is here for a few days rest.
 AS much timber is being cut on the national forest of the northern part of the state as is consistent with good administra- tive methods.
 MT. McGonigle said: Some of the mature timber, of course, cannot be reached. Were ade- quate transportation facilities provided it could also he sold. But as much as can be reached conveniently has peen sold off.
 SOUTH OF HOLBROOK
 South of Holbrook there are vast areas of merchantable tim Der. Several years ago w. H. Clark incorporated a company to build 75 mile railroad from Holbrook to tap that rich timber belt. A deal was closed with the government for a great amount of standing timber. The time to begin cutting that timber ex- pired in December. but 1 under stand that 1t has been extended. I also hear that the company has secured ample financial backing, and that the work of
 BUILDING THE ROAD
 Will begin before long. An investment of about $3, 1000, 000I is contemplated.
 The market for Arizona lum- Der is growing. A little less than a year ago we shipped sey- eral carloads of our best lumber to Boston. We could sell more back east but as the dealers there demand the best that we can produce, in carload lots, we do not like to fill their orders. We reserve 1t for our Arizona customers and ship it to them in mixed carloads.
 During the year the prices of lumber have advanced notice ably in the east. In Arizona the advances haven't been great. | -Arizono Gazette.
