 We often hear such expressions

 What makes those firms sell

 nore people patronize them and they can purchase their goods in large Quantities, and thereby sell cheaper |han smaller firm; Could not our
 merchants have larger stocks, give better service, and sell cheaper if
 we would patronize them exclusively Would not the wages of their em- ployes be raised as their business in- creased?
 If we think we are gaining by buy ng out of town, we have the wrong

Do we think in the least mat the merchants of New York, Y Ihl''eo or Boston are going to use Ene " in the upbuilding of the community? Mo-. How are we going 10 get these improvements if we do lot keep our money at home? Those mLerchants do not contribute to our charlty funds, or help the poor of our city, but it is our own merchants vwho contribute of the money that we spend here!
 When we buy at home, we have the to examine and know WI what we are getting before we buy. we nave no express charges to pay; set our things much cheaper and Hliow na whom our money is benefiting. oiten we are without money with which to satisfy our needs, and we ,uy them on credit until we get the leslred amount to pay. We may need x: ~ oofrow some money, or want some backing in some business enterprise. We would not ask the iierchants of other cities for money, .ut , we would borrow the very dollar rom our banks here where we spend .' Inere is not one merchant here 'ut who is courteous and would dc IS favor if we patronized him. We m ire all In favor of the upbuilding of 'ur community.

Judging from a report reaching the local radio station relative to the steamer L.atOuche, that vessel either did not sail on the date announced or has been inordinately delayed in the passage across the Pacific. The report referred to was transmitted from St. Pauls island and says the Latouche was 103 miles east of Scotch Cap at eight o'clock last night. In effect this means that the steamer will not enter Boring sea until some time today Local representatives of the Alaska Steamship Company as- sert that they have had no advices relative to the vessel and are not officially informed as to the sailing date. They are of the opinion, how 'ver, that the steamer did not leave on August 15 as indicated in a telegram received by Postmaster Welsh relative 10 the mails.
