DISCUSS NEW HIGHWAY.

Two of the members of White Bird
highway district, j. l.. Addison and Ed
Smith also John Nevin went to Grange
vile Wednesday to attend a meeting of
the Idaho County Good Road Associa-
ton to discus the building of new
highway between White Bird and
Grangeville. The Grangeville Highway
district agrees to contribute thirty-five
thousand dollars towards the building
of this road, if the White Bird High
way district will contribute fifteen
thousand.
Saturday night there was mass
meeting held here in the /. o. o. f.
hall to discuss the possibility of bond
ing this highway district for the fifteen
thousand dollars.
1t was met with approval and they
also discussed the possibility of new
bridge to be built on the Salmon river.
They considered that if the three high.
way districts in this section, namely,
the White Bird, Deer Creek and
Doumecq, would bond their districts for
ten thousand dollars each that the
bridge could be built.
Monday night there was a mass meet
ing on the Doumecq in the Cochran
school house to discuss the possibility
of building the bridge. There was
great enthusiasm shown by the men of
that section and most of the members
signed petition to be sent to the
county commissioners to cali a special
election to vote on bonding that dis
trict. ~
A. L. Donaldson, John Nevin, J. L.
Addison and Rev. j. s. Anderson at
tended the meeting from here.
A new bridge across the Salmon in
this section and a highway to Grange
vile would mean much to this coun-
try and would benefit the entire coun-
try.
We hope that these new enterprises
will succeed.

The water cut q channel through the

A heavy rain at the head of the creek

LOCAL STORE HAS EDGE OVER

The retail merchant who let's the mail.
order man take his trade away from him
has no more grounds for complaint than
the hare who let the turtle beat him in
the race.
The fact that mail-order houses can
stay in business at all, Net alone making
money, it patent tribute to the power
of advertising. Thirty or forty years
ago man would not have believed that
store thousand miles away, without
even showing the goods it was selling,
without having any personal acquaint-
ance whatsoever with its customers,
could reach its hand across long
stretch of country and pick customer
out of the front doors of a well known
and well respected local store. Such a
thing would have been thought as i'm.
possible as flying machines and wireless
kilograms. Yet that is precirely what
has happened.
The local store has the advantage of
the mail-Order man at every turn. 1t
can enable its customers to examine the
hoods before purchasing. 1t can deliver
the goods Immediately after purchased.
1t can explain the merits of its goods
through living, personal salesman. The
men who run it are personally known to
the customers. 1t can correct errors and
right wrongs with geate dispatch than
the mail-order house. It has the advan-
tage of being within few blocks in
stead of thousand miles away. 1t
can, as rule, offer as good if not bet
ter values for the same money, as the
mail-order house. 1t can extend credit
to worthy customers, where the mail
order house can not afford to take the
chance. How, then, can the mail-order
house survive such competition?
Simply because the mail-order man,
knowing his handicap, has learned how
to use the only tool vailable-advertis-
ing.
If there is anything about advertis-
ing that the biggest mail order houses
do not know, il is sometime that no
advertising expert knows. They have
studied and developed the art of
advertising with the knowledge that if
it failed them they would have no other
means of salvation. Probably no great.
er tribute can be paid to the power of
advertising than the success of mail
order houses.
The moral is plain, the methods that
carry trade thousand miles away from
home will keep that trade at home has
little effect. Mans natural impulse
to buy thing for which his desire has
been whetted is stronger in most cases
than purely patriotic desire to keep his
money at home. With the local store s
immense advantage, it would not be
necessary to go to the great extent in
advertising that the mail-order house
goes. ne principles that make mail
order advertising successful, if applied
to pudicious policy of continuous ad-
vertising by the local store, will keep
the trade where it logically belongs

STATE TO PURCHASE BANK BONDS
After December VIII Take Bank Liber.
ty Bond Purchases at Par.

The state land board made one of the
most important financial moves in its
history today when it adopted a motion
that on and afer Dec. Is, 1917, the state
Will purchase at par Liberty bonds for
the various banks of the state which
were purchased and held by the banks
prior to June Is, 1917. This mean,
that the coffes of the state will be
opened for flood of cash that will 90
back to the banks and in turn to the
people for circulation. The action was
unanimous after the motion was made
by Attorney General Walters
At the same time the board auth.
orized Governor Alexander to make ap-
plication for 100000. worth of Liberty
bonds on behalf of the state of Idaho
the bonds to be issued in denominations
as follows: Ten thousand fifties, &c, 900
one hundreds, 10000 five hundreds and
80 one thousands.
In order that state employees may use
part of their salaries for the purchase
of bonds the board decided to set aside
$4,000 of them for employees in state
departments and state institutions.
These bonds will be sold on the insall-
men plan and Register Scott and the
land board was authorized to take
charge of placing them. They will be
paid for by employees in 10 equal in
stallments, 10 per cent down. In the
event of the resignation or dismissal
of an employee he will be refunded the
amount advanced. Upon full payment
for the bonds the bond will probably be
delivered to the purchaser. The land
board was authorized to purchase $lO,-
600 worth of the bonds and place them
under this plan Immediately. The
governor was authorized to sign state
warrants to the amount of per cent as
first payment on the purchase price.
The state auditor was, on motion of the
secretary of state, authorized to pur-
chase the necessary books and to keep
account of the bond sale to state EN-
ployes.
Governor Alexander announced to the
boord his subscription to $1,000 worth of
the bonds and State Auditor Van Deu
sen subscribed to $500 worth of them.
The decision of the board to take
over Liberty bonds at par from the
banks will permit many of the banking
institutions to turn their bonds into
cash while the state will hold the best
kind of security as well as earn an
interest rate of 31@ per cent
