TO THE FARMERS:
Since the date of our last advertisement to
, you we have sold 1100 acres of land, aid being
all the land held by us in behalf of the various
Loan Companies we represent, except the
Shaw farm ot 200 acres in Kinloss, and which
we are offering very cheap and on very easy
terms of payment.
Several farmers have.; however, placed
their farms in our hands for sale, so that we
hope to be able to spply the bulk of the
demand for farms as heretofore. But as our
sales exceeded 1000 acres last spring we wouLt
request those.in want of a cheap farm to apply
early. as the spring time will now wan be
here. We can grant very reasonable terms of
payment for all our sales and a low rate of
in erest,
If you wish to renew or change you mort-
gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or
send money away in payment id the interest
or principal of your. mortgage, we can guaran-
tee you satisfaction and at a very trifling
expense. •
We lend money on farmers' notes for long
or short time, and can supply 'all demands on
reasonable terms. Sale notes a speeialty.
We do a general banking business of all
kinds with Merchants, Cattle Dealers,
Shippers and Farmers,

'11HE LEADER.
ROUSING RECEPTION TO ,THE
HON. MR. LAURIER.
The large agricultural hall in Dun-
.gannon was packed to yie doors on ,
Wednesday afternoon last by the
sturdy,yeoma,nry of West Huron to
greet the _Hon. Wilfrid Laurier, the
able leader of the Reform party.
When it is considered that only a few
hours' notice of his intended visit had
been given, the gathering was unprece.
dented in the history of the riding., and
the rousing reception given the leader '
and the old standard-bearer of ' the
party, Mr,. M. C. Cameron, can _safely
be taken as some indication of the
coming triumph on Tuesday next.
Mr. Laurier had only a few Minutes
to stay, as he was compelled to take
the early afternoon train at Goderich
for London, , where he addressed a
meeting in the evening. He is a very
fluent speaker, and in the short time
at his disposal he fully sustained the
high opinion entertained of him as an
orator and a Statesman.. Stirring
1
speeches were also delivered by M. C.
Cameron, W. T. R. Preston, and Dan.

Its Prospects and the Development to 'which
it Ilas Attained.
The tide of ,ernigration has, of late
years, been flowing so :...ontiauously to
to the unsettled lands of Manitoba and
the North West, that before a great
period of time elapses, all the land in
that -part of Canada will be Settled.
As the ,flow ef emigration has always
been westward, we may expect the
•,next place to be, more directly effected
by it will be British Ciluinbia. In
view of this it inay. be well' to give
senie information on its. Conimercial
advancement. One has . but to look
• back to its early history, when it was
severed from its • connection with the
Hudson Bay Company to join a pros-
perous Confederation, there to see the
ahnost lifeless germ that , has given
rise to its present prosperity. At
that time not a railway was within
the province, and ,scarcely a 'boat of
importance anchored on its shores;
its' extensive forests remained untouch-
ed, .and the productiyeness of its
waters, mines and soil was little known;
a small amount of capital. was within
the province and not . even the most

• After one of the hottest .toid'eloSest
fights ever seen in East Bruce, M.
Cargill is elected ever Air. Truax, the
official majority,being 10, in a. riding
containing about 5300 votes. -Mr.
Truax had a majority last March of
114. The Tories say they have won a
glorious victory while the Reformers
find their only hope in a recount of
the ballots which will likely take place.
It is interesting to note that the change
in favour of the Conservativesall took
place in the townships. For example
while Walkerton gave a ,,majority for
Cargill of only, 83 this • time as against
13 one year ago. Brant changed
from 30 against Cargill to 39 in his

spoken of being that of Mr. W. Pater
son of Brantford.
•
reee,
will fi ed somethingworthyof his notice
in the giant strides of the latter to
Coin niercial ilfl pottance. British . Co-
lumbia has 800 miles of railway, over
which' there is considelable • traffic.
• And the fact that another railway is
being rapidlyfinished on toyancouver
ftorn the American,. side, shows how
quickly trade is growing. All the
railways are entirely in the southern
part of, the province, but there is
assurance for Saying that ere long the
Manitoba, and North West'R. R. will
.be projected through the northern part
to fort Simpson, to give a more direct
outlet to the resources of that •quarter.
Many ltimberniE!n, who held timber
limits in Michigan, New. Brunswick,
and the valley of the Ottawa River,
have purChased Ihnits here, greater in
extent than those they formerly held
in the East., These. are the .mei i of
capital and long ,experience in tienber
operations,who are required and fitted
to utilize "the extensive forests of , the
West', The result.of this.ciass 3oming
to the Coast has been, the erection of -
many mills of unusually large cutting
capacities in these regions about the
mouth of the Fraser River. The
lumber from these 'mills, out Side of
the provincial .deroand, is shipped to
Manitoba and North West,. Australia,
Great Britain and South Anierica.
It is true that last, fall Many of these
mills were shut , down, but thii,was
owing to their trade having been
hampered by foreign depression. And
in case political' tranquillity is not
auickly restored in those countries of
the Southern Continent, there will be
a great decrease in the Foreign Trade
ofthis year. The Home 'Trade is not
subject to such fluctuations. So long
as the timber resouces of 'British, Col-
umbia remains, and Manitoba remains
treeless, there will always be a uniform
trade between the two. Nature has
so designed • that .such must be
the case.
Apart from the lumbering industry,
there are also those of fishing and
mining, which are alike progressive,
and attribute greatly to the. Provincial
revenue. No fisheries in theworIcl are.
se widely knovn as those of British
Columbia. Fish of all kinds are
caught here. There are 28 salmon
canneries, 19 of these being on the
Fraser,. and the remaining 9 in the
districts about Fort Simpson. The
average output of cases for those
canneries during the last fishing season
was 8000. Thus Making a total for
the province of 224,000 cases, or
10,752,000 cans. These find ready
sale in the markets of the world, but,
moreespecially in those. 01 the Eastern
States and Great Britain.
Many will think that "froni the
annual straighter of fish that the fish-
ing Industry of British Columbia will
roon be something ,of the past The
economical ine:tsures and forethaug4
of Government in this particular in-
dustry render it alinost impossible for
such to be the case. The annual catch
is limited by the number of licenses
issued. Each cannery' is given thc.
right to purc.hase not over 20 lieenses.
in order that the annual cateh may
not far exceed the annual- increase..
13esidas several fish hatcheries hove
been established along th& rivers that
the aalinon freqent. Through the'
• sustaining influence of these and the.
'fishery law, it iq thought that this
incluststry will be piodu,cti ve for many
years to come'.
It was from the mineral discoveries
of 1858,, that British Columbia lirst
derived its. importance. These were
principally made in and Omit the
district of Cs ribep and Kootenai,' But
the gold fields have not been so pro-
ductive as was first anticipated, anti
consequently the mineral resources Of
tlie country have not materially
increased. Not this it
has given ,to the world all minerals,
from gold down to'tlie leastimportiant: ,
Mining operations of late years seen
to have centred almost entirely in the
production of coal. This is owing to
the great demand for it, caused by the
increase in the manufacturing industry
and by the advancement.that has taken
place in the steani-boat f icilities of the
coast. Each of the China boats takes
on several hundred tong of coal at
Vancouverharbor, before leaving on •
their return trips to Orient.: Most of
the coal. conies from the iniaes, of
Nanaimo and Wellington, on Vancou
ver Island, where it is thought there
is an almost inexhaustible supply_
That this coal is.of good.. quality,
• needs no further proof than that the
British Navy of the North Pacific,
whose head -quarters are at Esqirnalt,
is about to use it in place 'of that
shipped from Great 'Britain.. Eng- :
land is very particularin her purchase
of coal for the ititvy, and the fact that
she is about to make' t his change.attests
gleally to the quality of the coal,
produced on :the Pacific .coast..
It is difficult to give ad)/ definite in -formation on the mineral' wealth of a
•.country, fez- the earth holds her secrets
and only partially discloses them in
those parts.niest difficultto moderate.
What British Columbia requires is
the influx . of more capital to test, the
extent. of this wealth. end if it be up to
expectations of some, rest 'assured
•there is ahright, •future for this pro-
vince;,
Now turning from this to consider it.
in an agricultural sense, we find that
it will ,never be a. great agricultural
producer.Its mountainous regions
are such an extent that of its•341_,000
sq. milks in area. merely 15 per cent
of this is arable land. Yet,what there
is possesses wonderful fertility. Brit-
ish Columbia will always be an import-
er of farm produce, for this reason
that all: the lands She can possibly
have tinder 'cultivation will not sup-
ply her 'utban.popplation.
• Many people, but .principally those
of the farming class, come to the
coast with the idea that when they
cross the Rockies,. they will see a
beautiful tract of farming lands.
stretching from the Rocky mount -
tains to the Gulf of Georgia.
In this they are disappointed,
for the whole extent of the province is
traversed by parallel ,ehains of moun-•
tains. •These are the people whose eycs
have been opened to the misrepresenta-
tions contained in the government and
real estate pamphlets that are distrib-
uted profusely in every country, In
them are advertised late° arers of
