A GODERICH FATHER
WRITES HIS SOLDIER SON.
Goderich, July 31, 11117.
DEAR 8, -Now, son, I aut going
to tell you something about last tiuu-
day morniug-but remember that the
first pert of it is on the "4. T." You
know that ytitir mother aud I always
agree aia• ride, but on the occasion of
last Sunday I gues, the heat or some-
thing got the better of her. At any
rate. I was titling on the lawn wait-
ing for her to come out and we would
go to church. About ten to 11 out she
conies, and the garb she wore, good
tondo, son ! You never seen the likes.
She had caught the "'ben skirt"
fashiott when I was on the farm get.
ting kicked about with cows and
gored with goats and out she comes
with one of the most tidiculouit skirta
you ever seen in your life. 1 mid,
"Now, Ma, look here -this thine bas
lust gone far enough. You're not go-
ing to chutch with tue wearing that
coetunie, so .het settles it." 1 t. old
her that it, was bad enough for the
younger girla-when I bay "younger"
I mean th.ese from, well,say rixteeu to
torty-but whop it comes to a lam of
sixty-three wearing such attire it is
high time that the Kaiser had dropped
a bomb on the world'e leading fashion
house. Well, she said I could go to
church alone, and alone 1 did go.
It seettued that Sunday was a day
when "the fur Hew" all around. Mr.
McDerroid hes gone on his holidays -
even a "Scotchman" newt have recrea-
tion, you kuow-and Rev. Mr. Mc-
Kerroll tilled the pulpit. 'Pon my
soul, son, I came flow that kirk ready
to lick the Best profiteer I wet. Did
he go after tbe chaps ho wear the
"48" stomach turmoil.' pants ? I
should ray he did. Of courve when

New Wash Dresses
New White Underskirts
New Corset Covers
---at Factory Prices
The other day a maker of Wash Dresses wrote us as follows: -
"Do you want any Wash Dresses? We are clearing out our stock at
very liberal discounts from regular prices and will be glad to send you
an assortment if you want them."
Our stock was low and we immediately wrote him to send them on. They are just
in today. With them he sent 45 sample White Underskirts and 39 sample Corset
Covers, lines he was sold out of, saying we could keep the samples or not, just as we
wished. The values were so good that we kept them, and they go on sale
SATURDAY MORNING AUGUST 4th, at or below
Regular Factory Prices
This is one of the newest and best lots of Wash Dresses we ever sold and it is a
splendid chance to get a summer Dress away below its actual value, for you can buy
one of these for the same money as they sold at in dozen lots all over Canada. All
are new and fresh stock and up-to-date in style.
THE DRESSES
The factory price of the cheapest Dre.ss was Ll }s -t 9o; Ott. We will sell Ibis lid

exceptionally handsome garments in this lot. We pia them on sale 69c to $3.75

The Corset Covers
The Corset Covers are mostly sizes 36 and 38. There me some low-priced lines and some
exceptionally good ones, some better by far than we ever think of keeping in stock, so if you
wart a particularly dainty Corset Cover at a bargain price this is a good chance to get it. Every
garment at or below factory prices.
This is not an ordinary cheap lot of garments, but bright. new, fresh stock, and the only
reason we are able to get it at these prices is the backward season, the cold, wet weather of June
and the early part of July. The quantity is limited and we strongly advise you to see them as
early as possible, The selling starts Saturday morning.
Clearing the Last of the flillinery

mer Millinery at once, as we want the Mlow-

ASSESSMENT APPEALS.
Hotel Assessment Decreased -No Me -
duction in Canada Company Lots.
I His Honor Judge Dickson has given
judgment in certain assessment ap-
1 peals which have come before him.
t he Canada Company appealed
against the assetement of its lots in
boderich at $200 • lot. Judge Dick.
stri diemisses this appeal. A reduc-
tion of 112,000 is made in the assess-
ment of the Britieh Exchange hotel
operty. The aseessruent of the Bed-
ford property is rather complicated.
'I he hotel property, HI. Honor holds,
is assessed at too high a figure, while
the stole property is aseessed too low.
For the present year the hotel APPPIIth
went la reduced from 59,0110 to $8,000
and later the asseestuent of the whole
propel ty will be revised.
Judge iDickson's findings are as fol-
lows
I dismiss the appeal Of the Canada
Ciatipany. From the evidence I muse
find that the assessment is fair and
equitable. While it is difiicult Upon
the evidence to flx any definite mar-
ket value upon the Iota in question,
this is due to the fact that there DI
at preiwnt a very or stag-
nation in the real estate market in
Goderich as elsewhere, due no doubt
in a large nicsaure to war conditions.
There is evidence, however, of the sale
of a lot very similarly situated, vac-
ant, unfenced and unimproved, as the
lots of the appellants are dew ribed,
within the pieta year at the price or
wok The appellant' are only assessed
for UM per lot. The assessors evi-
dence shows that there te prospe..-t of
a shipbuilding btudness for Ooderich
and he expensed his belief that real
estate would improve in value. I
think I must not be guided in my
estimate (kf value simply by the offer
made in court by the appellant/P. com-
missioner to accept for the tote _prices
below the ateressiment value*. A pur-
chaser (kr purchaserki may turn up who
will he willing to pay double the price
which appellants put upon the lote,
but the town is not bound to provide
Canadians in totted States.
Thu Amerieari census shows that
there are 1.199,000 Canadians living

'•In the appeal of Clarence L. Sweets
I have come to the cunclusion tha
there should be a reduction in thi
assessment. Every pereonknowetha
that there has been& sharp decline i
the value of hotel property and hote
businesis throughout the. Province
owing to the lose of the prollte on th
sale of liquor. The..BrttiehcEamitedtainngto
hotel f
fort* was assessed at 1118,000 and for
softie reason which cannot under-
ment has repiained tbe
same, thoug it is well known to every
person, and tile evidence here shows,
that the valu of the hotel as it hotel
h d y per ceuL o not
consider that replacenitmt value has
anything to do with determining
ameessment value. If that principle
Wel* carried into the fixing of ()thee
aasemenients in the town I venture to
eay that. the totel assessment would
double or treble its present figure. I
do think that rental value has • very
important bearhog and should be
taken into consideration by the Mitiels•
nor. I think a reduction of *2018,10
this tuwesiiiiient for the present year
would far it proper disposition of thin
appeal and I so direct. The business
asoieesnaent will be reduced accord-
ingly. I have no power th exempt
appellant from businese tax. It does
wenn an anomaly and injustice that
Ooderich hotel prnprietors should he
compelled to pay this business tax,
while hotel proprietors in distrietti
where the Provinc;a1Temtwrance Act
is in force are exempt from the tax.
"In the appeal of .1. ff. Bedford it
appears that appellant is the owner of
the hotel property which im the sub.
ject of appersh and of several store
properties all of Which are /milt upon
Iota 1Z2 and 123. In view of the PVi-
dem* of the appellant and what wne
disclosed in the sameador's evidenee,
there (should apparently be ot readjust-
ment of ameessnients upon these sever-
al properties. cannot kiafely make
the changes', as the evidence, while
satisfying me thet the emblem plaeed
by the asosensor upon the store proper-
ties should he materially increased,
is not mufficieetly definite to enable
me to fix the increased asonesament at
any eertain amount. For the prenent
year I will therefore eonfine myself to
a conaideration of the arremnient of
reed resupectIng the Ftritish Rxchenge
hoteroperty. The IN 411111011tM 1 IIAVP
hotel apply equally to the Bedford
hotel. 'Phia hotel property and thhe
n- hotel husinees bar depreviated in a.
1 very marked degree and in the nierin-
e tinte and until there is a readjust-
ment of the ameemsment of the lietifmme
block I think there *should be it 'ethic -
t
tion, if not commensurate with the
deprerietion in the value, at hetet waf-
t ficient when the other aeseesments in
the appellant's block are taken into
account to make the matter right for
this year. Forth.' present year 1 fig
e omit assemement 118,01/0. Fluminesde
aseemsment will be reduced according.
