The following interesting set of

spare time to glance down the
column and see just what state
of affairs exists in the mercantile
world today:
1. You shall sell your farm pro
ducts for cash wherever you can,
but not to us, we do not buy
from you.
2. You shall believe our state-!
ments and buy all you need from
us, because we want to be good
to you although we are not per
sonally acquainted with you.
3. You shall send the money in
advance to give us a chance to
get the goods from the factory
with your money, mean while you
will have to wait patiently a few
weeks because that is our busi
ness method.
4. You shall apply to your
nearest city to aid you in build
ing good roads so you may con
veniently get the goods from the
depot that you buy from us, for
we do not build country roads.
5. You shall buy church bells
and interior fixtures from us and
forward the money in advance,
for that is our busines method.
6. You shall collect from the
business men in your vicinity as
much money as you can for the | .
benefit of your churches,although
we earn more money from you
than they do, still it is against
our rules to donate money for
building country churches.
7. You shall buy your tools
from us and be your own mechan
ic, in order to drive the mechanics
from your vicinity, for we wish it

8. You shall induce you r neigh
bor to buy everything from us,
as we have room for more money.
9. You shall look often at the
i
beautiful pictures in our cata- j t
logues so your wishes
will in- j
crease and you will send in a big
order, although you are not in
immediate need of the goods,
otherwise you might have some
money left to buy necessary
goods of your local merchants.
10. You shall have the mechanics
that repair the goods you buy from
us book the bill, so you can send
the money for his labor to us for i
new goods, otherwise we will not
notice our influence.
11. You shall believe us in prefer
ence to your local merchants as we
want your best and we only become
millionaires by chance.
12. You shall in case of accident, |
sickness or need, apply to your
local bankers for aid and credit, as
we do not know you.
Since you freely criticise other
people, you should remember that
in all reasonable probability other
people criticise you. Very few of
us give this proposition as much
attention as it deserves. If you ob
serve that people are quick to note
faults of their neighbors, they are
quick to note your faults, although
they may be very polite when you

S. D. McLain eU Head of a New,
Nampa Enterprise.
(Nampa Leader Herald.)
Arrangements for the establish
ment of a big saw mill in Nampa
were completed today. S. I). Me
Lain of Silver City, who is one of
the prime movers in 'the enter
prise, secured an option from
Kobert Noble this afternoon on
two sites situated on the B. N. &
0. railroad about one mile from
the depot. The sites are in the
same locality, one being situated
on the east side of the track and
one on the west. There are 25
acres in each track. On one of
these sites a thoroughly modern
saw and planing mill embracing
dry kiln, steam treating plant,
lathe mill, box factory, etc., will
be erected. The most modern
machinery will be installed to
treat the logs from their rough
state to the finished product.
Work on the plant will begin
within the next 60 days and the
company will go into the timber
about September 1st and will
handle next year's cut commenc
ing about May 15th.
The annual capacity of the
plant will be 12,000,000 feet, or
40,000 feet a day. The plant
alone will cost over $30,000 and
the handling of the logs will in
volve the expenditure of enorm
ous sums annually.
The company has already made
application to the government
for the purchase of 60,000,000
feet of logs which is the estimat
ed cut for five years. The logs
will be floated from the South
Fork of the Fayette, loaded on
t j le car8 Emmett and brought
to Nampa. Every particle of the
logs will be utilized even to the
saw dust.
Associated with Mr. McLain is
W. O. Kuhn, an experienced saw
mill man of Portland Oregon,
Fred Barnes of Nampa, and
other parties.
The establishment of this saw
mill, planing mill and box factory
i u Nampa is almost, if not quite,
equal in importance to the sugar
factory. It means a steady pay
roll, the year round for from 20
to 40 men and will be extremely
beneficial in many other ways.
Mr. McLain, who is perhaps
chiefly interested in the enter
prise, is a prominent banker and
merchant of Silver City and is re
garded as one of the very sub
stantial business men of that
section. He will divide his time
between Nampa, where he will
keep oversight of the mill work,
and his Owyhee business interests
this year, and next year when
the mill is running will move to
Nampa to make his permanent
home.
