From the huge lumber mills
comes the reports that lumber
has not Iwen so scarce an article
in years as it is now, and the in¬

The trade territory of a town is
not all dependent upon the dis¬
taitcc neighboring • ,, trading ,
to „
points. The trade territory de-
pends upon the enterprise of the
merchants and the residents of
the town. If a town does not
reai'li after the trade it will come
only as fast as it has to, and it
will grow as it is forced to. But
if the merchants go after busi¬
ness in the surrounding country,
advertising in every possible way.
a&d making good every word of
their advert ising, trade will come
from, wn everiiicreasing radius,
the town will gain a reputation
for being awake and it will forg<
to the front. It is the men in
the town and not altogether the
men Hiving within a certain mini- ,
her of miles froaa it that makes
the town.
Young men, you ATe tire archi¬
tects of your own fortunes. Rely
upon .your own strength of body
and soul. Take for your. star,
self-reliance. Don’t take too;
much advice—keep-at your helm
and steer your own ship, and re¬
number that the great art of
connnnndrtig is to take a fair
share of the work. Think well
of your self. Strike out. As¬
sume your own position. Put
potatoes in a cart over a roughrord
t he large ones come to the t< ]>
and the small 'ones to tin
pottom. Rise above the envioui
and jealous. Fire above the
mark yow intend to hit. Energy
invincible determination, with a
right motive, are the -levers that
move the world, Be in earnest.
Be self-reliant. Be generous. B<
civil. Read the Adver- 1
papers,

and do good with it.
One of our -good citizens was
