STORE OPENED

The new confectionery store on
the west side was opened for bust
ness Saturday morning. The store
is located in the old Johnson & Hill
building on the corner Of Second and
Grand avenues. The old drug store
has been remodeled and made into
a very attractive store. The inter
ior is all white which sets off the
darker colorsl of the fixtures.
The store is operated by G. b.
Gardner & Co, who come here from
PlainfieId. They will manufacture
all their own chocolate goods. From
samples submitted to a Reporter
representative, We can say tht they
are first class chocolates. While ev
erything is not rady, Mr.. Gardner
thought it was best to open up for
business as soon as he could get
some of his line manufactured. From
now on, new goods will be made and
added to the stock until a. complete
line of high grade confectionery is
placed on sale.

It is up to the Wisconsin man with
the dollars the other fellows want to
take a pencil and paper and figure
what the value of the above crop per
tree is at the prices stated, and he
should take into consideration that
fact that the price received for the
far western apples is getting lower
every year, while in Wisconsin high
er price depends only upon the pro
ductiOn of a cleaner apple which can
easily be done But even on the a
boVe showing the value per tree in
Wisconsin is from eleven to fifty-two
cents more than in the heavily adver
tised western counties and they are
best sections in the west for apples.

Is the Wisconsin man with dollars
going to invest in the $500 per acre
far western orchards of bearing age,
when he can plant and bring an a
ere to bearing agen in Wisconsin for
$50? 1t is up to him to decide.
Anyone who properly plants and
cares for a Wisconsin orchard will
in the far west on a good market
and make at least some money when
the western man is losing in a poor
year But. again, it is up to him
where he will put his money.

Robert Mealy's House Burned.

Thursday as farmer Robert Mealy
aud family were about sitting down to
the noon repast it was discovered that
their house was on fire, having caught
from a spark from the chimney falling on
the dry shingle roof. The house was
located on the right of the road going out
past the Smokey Hill school house, two
miles from Tionesta. The flames spread
very rapidly and 1t was impossible, with
the means and help at hand, TO save the
building or any of the household effects
on the second floor. About all of the
goods on the first floor we're saved. The
loss will be between $500 and 81 900,
which falls heavily upon Mr.. Mealy as he
carried no insurance.

pie. But the minute it is sent out
of the country to some mail order
house it is lost to the community
and as soon as the goods it pur-
chased are gone the community has
neither the money nor the goods.
You have got to keep this life blood
of the commercial body within the
body to preserve life. 1t benefits
| Grants Pass just as much to send by
mail to Shears & Sawbuck for goods
as it does to send to Tong Sung at
Sacramento for the produce of his
gardens. And there you are. There
must be sympathy between producer,
consumer and merchant. Those are
the three elements that make up the
community from the commercial and
business point of view, and when
one is found out of harmony with
the other, then you have discord and
| disaster. Traced to it's final equa-
ton, cooperation spells patriotism I;
patriotism for home and for the
home community and the home enter
prises. Therefore, be patriotic.

JUSTICE IN OKLAHOMA.

Judge. McBrine, self-confessed
forger Of state warrants to the
amount of $4,000, was given one
year in the penitentiary by a Judge

people complain because our judicial
system does not mete out even JUS
tice. There are going to be some
revolutions in our judicial as we'll
as our tariff and currency systems
during the next few years, and when
the smoke clears away justice will be
enthroned on the court benches of
America, as well as in the legislative
bodies of the country. The people
are growing tired of dollar diplo-
