Felt 0oes After NAH Order Shoes

Readers Of The Trade may re-
member an article printed a few
weeks ago about the plan being
used by c. w. Felt, general mer-
liant, Of Nezperce, Idaho, to meet
land defeat mail order COMPETE
ti0n.
The basis Of Mr.. Felt's cam
paign is a frank comparison OF
his own process, terms and quail
ties with those of the Seattle
branch Of Sears. ROebuek & Co,
which is filling the Pacific North
west orders of this firm. He us
es large displays in the local pa
per and follows it up every week
with new and seasonable price
comparisons.
He has issued tables showing
freight, express and parcel post
rates from Seattle to Nezperee.
On all goods except groceries, Mr..
Felt offers to deliver at his quot
ed prices 10 any point, express.
freight or postage paid On this
basis, his prices for corresponding
or even better grades of merchan-
disc are. in almost all instances
considerably lower than the prize
es of the mail order house.
The strong feature in this cam
paign, as il appears to us, is thu
frank, business-like and aggres-
sive but free-from-malice manner
in witch it is conducted.
In a letter recently received b.
US, Mr.. Felt. commenting on his
campaign, says: II am having in
quiries from it all over the Unit
ed States and II is surely making
good for me here. had thought
Of getting out q 1O0-page catalog
on this but changed my mind, and
am giving them follow-up stuff
every week. am enclosing this
weeks bill. We run this in Tho
Herald here and then have 1000
printed each week which we mail
out and tie up in packages, etc. !"
The trade believes he has the
right idea in making il follow
up" campaign. No country mer-
chant could get out a catal0g that
would be impressive" alongside
the big, comprehensive, illustrat-
ed books Of the big mail order
houses. Moreover. the eataloR
would soon get out of date and
stale. They not only cost q
great deal. but there is bound TO
be considerable waste" in their
distribution. Even with the big
Qest mail order houses, whose bus
mess runs up into the many mil
lions. the cost of their catalogs
alone with supplementary mat
ter and costs of distribution) is
estimated at ; per cent or more of
their gross business. II is this big
catalog expense, together with the
fat dividends evidently expected
and required by the owners. that
more than offsets the supposed
advantage Of the catalog house in
buying power as compared with
the smaller regular retailers. In
the "follow-up" plan, new ideas
and life may constantly be inject
ed into the campaign, seasOnable|
merchandise can be featured in
the price comparisons. and the
merchant can adapt his campaign

FOUR MILES 'OF
 PAYSTREAK AT ! TOLOVANA

Late arrivals from the Tolovana country tell of the development work which is now being done on all of the creeks in that vicinity Prospecting is the order of the hour, now that every body is prepared for winter, and it is expected that the next month will considerably change the map of that section of the country so far as a paystreak is concerned.
 Except on Esther creek, a tributary of the Tolovana river no new strikes are reported. However, it is stated that the prospectors working on Els ther have discovered ground which is estimated at $2 to the square foot of bedrock, although no details of the strike are available. Esther creek comes in on the right limit of the Tolovana, being the next creek above Olive and running parallel with the latter stream.
 Including all of the places where pay dirt is known to exist, 1t Is estimated that there are now fully four miles of pay in the new district. Most of it is on Livengood creex, from discovery to No. ' above inclusive, all though there is a spot about one mile between discovery and No. above on which pay has not been located.
 Mcintosh brothers are working on discovery. They are still prospecting their ground, but it is known that they are in good pay. Patterson and Findlay come next in line. They are blocking out their ground on No. 5 above and may take out dump.
 Gus Peterson's outfit on Franklyn gulch comes next, and it is known that 1t is located on the paystreak, as considerable ground was taken out last fall. Emil Johnson is in the pay on the Duncan bench.
 Robert & Kelly have a lease 1900 feet long. They have sunk two holes 500 feet apart, and are therefore firm ly convinced that they have pay on the full length of their lease
The Cordova daily times., 1916-01-07

Peterson & Thompson, on the Sunny bench, opposite No. g above, are still prospecting. However, they are known to be in good pay. Max Altman and Jack Altman, next above them, have sunk three holes and are now sinking their fourth. Their present shaft is directly in line with the pay shaft of the outfit below them, so they ex- pect to locate the pay when they find bedrock
 Ernest Peterson and Charley An derson are on the Marietta associa- tion. They are sinking a shaft direct ly in line with the pay which has al- ready been located in their neighbor- hood. Otto Kroele has lease on the Flat association, owned by Harry Pat terson and others. He is just start ing operations there.
 Jim Warren & Co. are working a lay on the Mint association. They have good prospects, and it is thought that they will locate good pay shortly, as they are directly in line with the way the pay seems to be running.
 On the lower end of the Italy asso- citation Eglar X Koebsch have recent ly struck good pay. Allenwell and Batten, who have been operating just above them, and who took out some money last summer further down the hill, are preparing to sink in a direct line with the find below them. Ket- tleson & Curry are working just above the last named outfit, and are In the pay, although they are still prospect ing. Just above and just below dis covery prospecting has been stimu- lated by the find of Mcintosh broth CTS. Considerable prospecting is also being done on intermediate claims

UNITED STATES FIRST AMONG
 NATIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - How the United States through the accident of a world war has moved from it's place as a commercially provincial and sec ondary power to the rank of first i'm portance among the great nations of the world--economically industrially and financially - is told in detail in the first annual report of Dr Edward Pratt, chief of the foreign and domes- tic commerce bureau of the depart ment of commerce.
 What the country has gained tenn porarily throug the fortunes of the European conflict. says the report, 1t can hope to hold in the commercial struggle that will be resumed at the conclusion of peace only by the most far-sighted commercial preparedness. Two grave problems face develop ment and maintenance of foreign trade. The first is declared to be that of finance and the second that of training men for the work.
 The financing of our foreign trade" it says, "and in fact by far the larger part of the financing of the worlds trade, has hitherto been done through London. During the last hundred years London has been the worlds financial market. She has held her position not because of prestige merely, but because the na-| tions of the world needed an inter national clearing house and London supplied that At the same time Lon don became the clearing house chief ly because she supplied a large part of the capital needed for public i'm provement and large private enter prises.
 The United States never has taken any large part in financing foreign trade because of the comparatively small part of that business carried on here, and because also of the un- familiarity of many of our bankers with the methods of international finance. Nor has the United States taken any large part in supplying capital to other countries. On account of more profitable investments at home we have chosen to invest here rather than abroad. This also has been true because of our position as debtor nation, but probably also to a considerable degree because of a mental debtor nation attitude on the part of our financiers.
 "On account of the war this situa- tion is rapidly changing. The volume of foreign business done through New York is continuously increasing, and New York banks are rapidly provid- ing facilities for Americans who wish to export. Dollar Exchange. a thing practically unheard of prior to this year, is assuming constantly enlarg- ing importance in the financial world and is rapidly becoming popular as a means of meeting international obli- gations."

SCHOOL NOTES
BY Edward q. Rawlins

A rousing old time was had at
chapel last Monday when the debat-
ers told of their experiences, both
here and at GAINESVILLE, to the student
body. Some very amusing instances
were related by the members of the
two teams. Although the home team
was defeated in way, yet in another
way it was not Both sides had good
arguments and good form for debat-
ing, but the fates seemed to be
against us, and the judges, in giving
their decision, gave a 2 to l in New
arks favor, while on the other hand
we secured a glorious victory over
GAINESVILLE, getting to 0 decision
in our favor. Nevertheless, the de-
feated team took its defeat good ma
turedly and many things were told
of the GAINESVILLE trip by the home
team that debated there. Miss VIII
liams, who accompanied our team to
GAINESVILLE, aso gave a short talk on
her experiences. All the debaters ex-
pressed their desire to win over New
ark next year, and those who will
have chance will put forth their
best efforts to accomplish their de-
sire.
