"A short time ago we published
some articles showing how the Gus.
toners feel about the way Blackfoot
nrms conduct their business. and at
mat time we said we would give the
business men an inning, so they
could express in public print some of
the things which they would like the
customers to know from their view
point.
In this matter as in the other. we
withhold the names, and try to
make 1t chapter of useful informa-
ton rather than mere objections to
what is. The purpose is to bring
about more harmonious way of do
ing business.
One man ventures the opinion that
. one of the grestest obstacles to pleas
ant and profitable bushes relations
Is the disposition of the business peo-
pie themselves to criticise each other
and to oppose each other. He SAYS
the men in each line of business are
disposed to oppose the others in the
same kind Of business, when COOP
Grafton would enable them to per-
form greater service. and service
Is the first condition upon which
prosperous business depends. He is
In the real estate business himself,
and says the real estate men are
working, talking and writing much
OF the time, to show people the re-
sources and natural advantages of
this locality, and it takes a great
deal of work and expense to carry on
this part Of the business 1t is done
for the general good and to get peo-
pie to buy property here, consequent |;
ly the real estate man is in a sense
a public benefactor, and should have
more cooperation from the public !
than Is usually accorded He says
that when man comes to Blackfoot |
to buy property, and different men
he talks with condemn each other
and their property, the man feels like
getting on the train and going else
where and he usually does. In this
way many people are driven to other
places. while if they we're encouraged
and were given assurance that the
people of the community are honest
and that they have good property,
and that they can do we'll to invest
and settle here, the settlement and
development of the county would
proceed faster. He saws it is i'm
possible to have customers as we ,
should have until there is greater ,
unity. Aside from this he has little ,
fault to find with business relations. {
Real Estate Man Talks ,,
Another real estate man says that
when stranger comes to town and
wants to be shown something, he
takes him out for a trip and spends
time and money showing him around
even If he knows the man is not like
ly to buy. It belongs to the real 1
estate business to serve the commun- y
lty and the travelling homeseeker and I
Investor to that extent. In the course I
Of the year he expends large amounts I
Of money for advertising, livery, e
meals and car fare for men who do
not buy anything, and then when he
makes a sale it takes considerable
" the commission on it to cover n
these other expenses. Occasionally v
4 piece of property is sold with little o
effort and expense, and when the u
,lient knows that fact he usually OBJ d
ects to paying full commission as If a

alton to the years expenses Some a

times man comes to look over thu
country and says he wants to buy
a farm of about 80 acres that car
be bought for about 500 an acre
and after being shown around for 6
day or week, h" selects the farm he
wants and then goes and buys II
directly from the owner at reduced
price. This gives the dealer the ex.
penses, and the farmer and the pur.
chaser divide the commission earn
ed by the dealer. This is a common
source of dissatisfaction because the
farmer not having had experience,
has not learned the unfairness of
such course, and does not realize
the extent of the dealers expense
leading up to the time when he can
actually take customer out to the
kind of place he wants. He says
he has even known the homeseeker
in such a case, to try to buy a farm
without making any payment at all,
and to open negotiations to see If
he can mortgage the land to make
the first payment-think of it!
Mortgage some others mans land
to get money to buy it of him.
A One-sided Game
Some farmers will give a dealer
an exclusive option on the farm for
year and bind it in writing with
out receiving any consideration for
it. This gives the dealer a year to
speculate on his (the farmer's) cap
ital without having it cost the deal
er cent. If the dealer could tie up
half the farms in the country that
way and just let them alone, it would
make it easy for him to make sales
on the few other farms that are for
sale. During the year. if the farmer
is anxious to make sale and the
dealer is doing nothing with it, the
farmer often gets busy and makes a
sale himself and allows the dealer
the commission or half commission
when he is not deserving of a cent. |
All these freak deals on the part of |
the INSCRIPTIONS dealer or the easy
mark farmer make it harder for a |
dealer to succeed at all
He says people should not give OPP
lions for more than a few days un-
less they receive something for it.
A Retailer Speaks
A man who operates a store and
carries accounts says that people
come to him and ask for 80 or 60
days credit and they let it run sew
oral months before paying. All this
line his capital is tied up and brings
him nothing. Then some day the
fellow will come in and pay up and
lsk to have some of it knocked off"
because he is paying cash, and be
niffed if he doesn't get it, A good
many fellows who pay up an old
swell up with pride over
having paid, and then say, aren't Y

Sauirming Among Friends

Very often the person sending out
invitations omits the name of some
friend, and in trying to square 1t
with that person, gives assurance
that an invitation was mailed, and
that it must be the fault of the post
office, they lose so much mail here
at this office, etc. Sometimes the
person so assured goes straight to
the federal building" and makes In
quiry to see whether that friend Is
telling the truth. 1t is true the post
al people make mistakes, for they
handle great quantities of mail at
such rapid rate, and in so many
kinds of writing, good and bad, and
these little envelopes being Of an
odd size, have many chances to be
lost out of a package Of larger ones
or to be lodged in the bottom OF a

Good Baseball Material

A number of baseball boys turned out last evening at the ball grounds for practice, and iIdulged in a little work, but the infield is still too wet yet for practice. There is considerable good material here for a team that will not be ashamed to meet any of the amateur teams of this section. and it is hoped before the season is over they will have an opportunity to cross bats with Seward. Cordova and possibly one or more of the An chorage teams. Captain Bob Scearce is planning on reglar practice to en- able the boys to get into good trim, and it is believed that at the opening game with Fort Liscum next Sunday the team will give good account of itself.

Communication Restored

At 1:45 this afternoon communica tion between Valdez and Sitka by cable was again restored. the Burn- side having completed the work of laying the cable in deeper water and made the final splice. It is expected that from this time on the breaks in the cable will be far less frequent. as a majority of the breaks during several years past have been occa- stoned by anchors of the fishing boats off the Yakutat banks. The cable is now laid off the banks in deeper wat CT and out of the reach of anchors It is expected the Burnside will come here within few days to do some work in the shore end of the cable.
