NEW JAIL AND COURT HOUSE

There is hardly a day goes by that
some one does not drop into Ontario
and express surprise that the On
tarIo papers and people have not
made some protest over the raising
OF $4,000 toward the building OF n
new court house and Jail at Vale at
,his time Mr. Brown of the Nyssa
Journal was In this week and made
the same remark and stated that
many OF the Nyssa people were sur
prlsed that Ontario has taken no ac-
ton to stop this thing.
Mr.. Browns attention was called
to the fact that the ontario papers
and people told the tax payers OF the
county prior to the election In 1912
Just what would happen and there
we're not enough people In any pre-
cinct in the county who believed
them to carry the precinct The peo-
pie by their vote at that time told
the Ontario people that they would
rather pay Tor new court mousse anu
Jail at Vale than accept one as a gift
from the people OF ontario. There
has nothing happened since that time

OF the tax payers have undergone any
change and the lack OF any action on
their part to restrain the collection
Of the necessary money TO build the
new court house and Jail would indi-
cate that they are perfectly satisfied

WHY RETAIL BUSINESS
HAS so MANY FAILURES

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
Wallis, April 3,-Iiow ninety-nye per
cent OF all persons engaged in retail
business fail annually. was shown by
Dean Morton, OF the State University
School OF Commerce, TO be due to in
efficient methods OF accounting and
poor judgment In buying stock.
For this reason Dean Morton thinks
hat the study OF retail problems Of
iers excellent opportunities for per-
sons trained In efficiency. That this
number is so few is due In part at
least TO the fact that a great number
Of young men In the schools OF the
country do not yet know what they
want 10 do when they finish school
careers. This fact was pointed out in
a lecture before the oregon Agricul-
tural College School OF Commerce,
the purpose of which was to lay be-
fore the students the important lines
of work Offering better than average
opportunity
Salesmanship is one OF these op-
portunities. In order to be a success
full salesman one must convince the
prospective buyer of real value and be
able to answer every objection, His
argument must be without flaw and
he must know everything about the
goods he is selling.
Aecountancy and commercial teach
Ing are other lines OF work recon-
mended to young men so inclined.

not miss an opportunity to impress
upon the pupils their duty to the To-
cal merchants, but. There 1t is again.
10 the local merchants patronize the
home stores when they are In need
of something not carried in stock by
themselves? II Is currently rumored
that they do not and II that is the
case it may be one of the strong rea-
sons why the practice of buying
away from home is becoming so
prevalent. The prices OF our local
merchants are right and there is no
excuse for anyone to go outside when
in need of goods of any class. The
smaller cities are being hit hard by
the mail orders and It is reported
that the big little city Of the inter
mountain section has so far suffered
that II has few paying retail stores,
although II is surrounded by gard
en- spot. This is question vital to
the life Of the small city and town
and should be we'll studied by every
citizen.

Well Known Local Man Says Some Good Words to the

 A nice tribute was paid to Lax-a- Tone by MT. F. D. Bostford of R. F. D., No. 3, Bridgeport. He said that he wanted to thank Lax-a-Tone for the good that had been done his wife, who had been a great sufferer from indigestion and dyspepsia that she had suffered tOrtures with gas and bloat, had not been ab1eato hardly eat a meal without distress and pain and that he was glad and willing to en- dorSe it for the reason that it might help some other sufferer.
 Such words as these are surely con- vincing to most any one and they are daily occurrences at the Hartigan drug stores, where this remedy is be- ing introduced. It is a preparation that will give relief, and lasting at that, to sufferers from torpid liver, nervous ness, sick headaches and impoverished d blood, constipation, gas and bloat, indi- gestiOn or dySpe psia-

Commissioners Would Sell Fire Bells For
 Junk; to Bring $5, ,OOO

When the proposed new manual fire alarm system is installed the big bells that have boomed out the alarms from the towers of four en- zine houses will be heard no more. The bells will be taken down and sold for junk. The bells are a composition metal known as bell metal, composed in the major part of brass.
 Commissioners John H. Tague and Charles G. Lindquist, who are com mittee to look into the advisability of disposing of the bells, estimate that they will bring $5,0O0.
 The system of sounding the alarms from the bell towers has been in vogue here for more than 30 years. The bells are located at No. 1 house in John street; No. house, Crescent avenue; No. house, Norman street, and No. house in Barnum avenue. Under the new system an alarm of fire will not be heard all over the city. It will ring on the signals in all the fire houses and also at police Headquarters and police precinct sta tions. Action will be taken on the removal of the bells at the meeting of the fire commissioners Wednes- daV
