I been here for thirty hoars, and durthat time I've fougli every public ' improvement. I've knocked everything | ' and everybody, no firm or individual | hps established a business here without j' i my doing all I could to put them out of business. I've lied about them, and ! would have stolen from them if I had - the courage. I have done all 1 could to keep the town from growing and never have spoken a good word for it. I've knocked hard and often. I've put ashes on the children's slide and I've made the marshal stop the boys playing on my vacant lot. Whenever I saw prospering or enjoying themselves I've started a reform to kill the or spoil the fun. I dont want the young folks to stay .ip this town and I will do al] I can by law. rule and ordinance to drive them away. It pains O Lord, to see that in spite of my it is beginning to grow. Some day I fear I will be called upon to put - •down sidewalks in front of my property ™ aijj|Vho knows but what I may have to i help keep up the streets that run by my I premises? This, Lord, would be more ™ than I could bear. It would cost me though all I have, was made right in this town. Then. too. more people might come if the town begins to grow, which would cause me to lose some of my pull. I ask therefore, to this town at a standstill, that I continue to be the chief. Amen. — .

THIS TOWN WILL NOT DIE Do not let yourself believe that th-mail-order houses will ever lull this town. If any considerable number of the people in this town and in tins , neighborhood persist in the habit ol sending their money away from home it will, of course, keep this town from ever being anything more than it is «nd may even set it backward. But there will always be a town of some kind here. And the reason is this: a town, after all, is something more than a collection of houses. It is a product not only of the brain but of the heart. The pioneers saw that this was a natural place for a' town to be. They settled here: their children were born here; and here most of their children's children were born. The foundations of tills town arc dee]»er than the sills that support the houses; they reach down into the hearts of the people of this community. JTljp mail-order patron does not lack patriotism so much as he lacks .foresight. He probably has never thought very much about it. He has thought only of his individual ease. It didn't seem to make very much difference to him if he spent ten dollars, or a hundred dollars, or two hundred dollars, away from home. But ten two hundreds are two tbowand; and a hundred two hundreds are twenty thousand, and $20,000 taken out of the pockets of this town, and. such is the case with many • thousands of dollars added thereto, ■ would hit it fairly hard. It may not , be $20,000 that goes out of this community to the mail-order houses each year, or it may be a great deal more. The mail-order patron himself is the - best judge of that. He knows at least if he will look at the front page of his catalog, that great buildings are built ' in Chicago and elsewhere out of the ] great profits of these concerns. He knows, also, if he will stop to think, 1 ^ that every brick in those structures is j a brick taken out of the upbuilding of this town and other towns like It. These great buildings were not built jby selling below cost. They were built ' by selling at a good round profit. They were built not at the expense of the men who built them but at the expense of the small towns of this couir- c try. They were paid for with money c that otherwise might have been employ- t ed in building up the business houses in 1 this town. Whether the mail-order pat- * rons saved anything thereby is doubtful, I quality considered; whether the town . i lost anything is certain. But neither the mail-order house nor , the mail-order patron can kill this town •! , absolutely. There will always be a eon- ' . sidcrable number of |M-oplv who will j , prefer getting value at home to getting ] . stung abroad. They will use both fore- 1 , sight and sense. Thesis will form the ! nucleus of the town of the future just 1 as they form the backbone of the town ] of the present. And. in the future as ! in the past, they will go ahead helpiug i to provide the children of the mail-order j patron with schools, his familv with J churches, his vehicles with roads and streets, his needs with his necessities while he fritters away his means elsewhere. He will continue to reap thel harvest whether he helps to sow and cultivate or not- i o F A log raft containing one million feet F of eedar. said to be the largest ever! on the Pacific, recently made the trip from British Columbia to Pugot It was 100 feet long and 70 ! c feet wide; it stood 15 feet out of the i water and 20 feet under.
