The Old Reliable
The old store notion was to insist on a profit with
every single article, never to sell €xcept at a
profit. The result was plenty of old stale goods that
nobody wanted. We believe in keeping things
moving and our idea of a good store is something
more than a storage warehouse.
IT WILL PAY YOU TO BUY YOUR
FURS NOW FOR NEXT WINTER!
We are now taking stock and find that we have
more furs than we care to carry over, consequently
we will sell at rock -bottom prices in order to make
room for our spring goods. To be convinced that
what we say we do we solicit a call.

To EDIroita OF EXETER ADVOCATE
DEAR Sats:-- Iit renewing my sub-
scription to the Advocate for 11))7 1
felt inclined to write at few lines con-
cerning the Neat which might be of
interest to scene of the Advocate read.
era. It is needless to say that the Ad-
vocate is read with a great deal of in-
terest by many who bail from Exeter
and the adjoining country. Almost
the first sentence that appears in ordi-
nary letter writing concerns condi-
tions of weather or health of the peo-
ple, for instance it is fine weather and
we are all well here at present. Now,
beginning with April, that month was
very file, May and June wet, July and
August or harvest time, very fine and
the threshing season almost pet feet;
weather continued fine, at times very
mild, until the 15th of November when
winter set in inn earnest with at three
days; storm. This stut•u1 appears to
have been general through the West
and it was ,advisable not to drive far
during that titise, although a few did
so in this vicinity without any wlshap.
I had occasion to be uut in it the third
day for a few hours, performing a
work not desirable in a laird storm, but
I concluded it was 110 new experience,
as I have done the 801110 in Ontario.
Precautions are necessity in the West
a time like that; fo dhal'diness:or ex-
treme necessity 8t,nittnnles causes fa-
talities during a storm. These tales of
storm are often worse than the storm
in the effect they have. The winter
has continued cold thus fair although
most of the time pleasant; the lowest
temperature registered here this win-
ter is 35` below, w hick has only occur-
red twice; and to au► Easterner it
would appear to be about 15' below.
The snow is about 24) inches deep
where not drifted; roads are in bad
shape and there is a general complaint
of too much snow.
While there are disadvantages in
every country, there are also advant-
ages see ' gly provided by nature.
I will just mention one at present.
Stall feeding of stock is Dot general in
the West yet, and for several Months
in winter cattle are not offend for
sale, hence the butchers provide for
this by laying up a stock for three or
four months' use. I might say here
that at Christmas when my stock was
in I had in the neighborhood of four
tons of butchers' supplies, consisting
of beef. pork, poultry aind fish, hence
the work in connection with the butcher
trade here during the cold sensor con-
sists chiefly in the disposal of this
stock. The ice which is being packed
now is of the best quality and good
thickness. The coal question was a
ser'itnis question this winter far a time
and where no wood was available it
was getting set hum , bol by strike's be-
ing settled and the railroads using all
)'rain cats for the transfer of coal the
sitoattion has changed. Now that a
few cars are available for shipment of
grain the toads are not tit for drawing
it in, this will tend to at slight depres-
sion all aver; tmIIIV farmers have not
sold this season. 'the farnlets through
the West are victims of the (Ivain Ex-
change, through the grading of their
wheat, also the price, and all because
they are unorganized and having no
representative to look after their in-
terests, when almost every industry is
protected. Blind to their interests,
they would Scorn the idea of it sala-
ried representative, say two thousand
a year, when they lose five times that
much annually.
Now, Mr. Editors, a few words con-
cerning the homestead regulations of
this country. No doubt you are fat-
miliau with 1)14' govel'nnIetlt 008(11114)88
by which a than secures of cancels one;
it 8111611 usat•Inlity fulfil the require-
ments of the got ertiments before they
secure their patent, others do not pre-
tend to du env inlptoretlentn on a
hon'estend and hold it in spite of can-
cellations en it by others. There pol'-
ties cancelling hate in SUMP instances

sats) %vete unable to gain arty Informa-
tion of heed w',ay in securing the land.
N'hy%
Because the inspector had not
given his report eoncerning said land.
Wats the inspeetor paid and who was
paying him? The government is em-
ploying officers who break the laws
and are the means Of causing others
to do so; the very Laws they were ap-
pointed to protect. I know whereof i
speak, some of this is lasing done In
our own town, causing many who
wish to homestead to go hack miles
fl'otn habitation. The inereese in price
of land through the Northwest is rapid
lately in se11111' localities. five to ten
dollars annually. Thehind joining
this town for mules around is priced at
nhoiit $Iii per ac'r'e, the laud is gond.
('lops this season are a good avetnge;
the waiter supply is good and in most
cases yet v gond quality. The farming
is diene in a 11111 rest, shiftless ►manner
by the majority, but many who carne
west only a few yeah ago in tees
humble eireum,aances, have to -day
very eonaful table hon►e•s and are we11-
to•e1 ,. 111111(• a number can live from
the proceeds of their property. There
are many drawbar ks regarding the
develepmeet of the tanning Indust! y,
one is the large number of bechelors
engaged in farming. A large peteent•
ape of then, ate on the fat 10 about
half the summer time ,and away alto-
gether in tIle winte•1, they are too fond
of the town life and as a cinsegnence
the rest as lira tit s, hotels, bakeries, etc.,
thrive at their expense. These condi-
thins are helpful to the town hist in-
jurious to farming. Horses are high
priced here; at good team is valued et
five hundred dollars. Hogs are very
high and .r•arce at times; worth at.

A word or tcvo concerning our town.
Balgonie is situated on the wain line
of the ('.1'.11., 3111 miles west of Win-
nipeg, seventeen utiles fount the flour-
ishing city of R!'gins. it i8 a village
of le.: than tier hnndred people; there
are six large grain elevator's which
speaks well for the surrounding coun-
try; there is an average of twenty
trains daily which causes some stir:
two very fine hotels and an►ong several
stores there are two departmental
stores carrying large stocks. We have
now a telephone services in town.
We are generally wellsupplied with
th
wood, froth about twelve wiles north,
which is very convenient when coal is
scarce. we are also well supplied with
lumber yards. The large skating rink
lately completed 18 :he principal ('n-
tertainntent for winter; curling and
fool and billiaid playing is the favor-
ite pastime for adults. here have
been tournaments of both games
played of late, other townscosnpeting,
many from the country taking part.
There are four rinks of curlers com-
prising thirty-two players, also two
hockey teams which looks sporty. Mr.
Editor, for a town of five hundred.
And now, I must confine my
thoughts to a few closing remarks.
With regard to any one desiring in-
formation concerning some parts of
the West, I will he pleased to answer
their correspondence to the hest of my
knowledge. Now, for a suggestion;
the joke is an eld une but has been
frequently wade use of, namely, -ship
a carload of old maids to the West,
where bachelors are plentiful. Sup -
porta) T. E. !landlord, now that he has
lessened his shipping duties in other

er be be a capable judge or not, then

dence in inc I will act as distributing

cess there is no doubt the government
will amply repay us. If men are
scarce at that time Owing to new in-
dustries requiting labor in Exeter,
probably Doc. Ramsey or Sandy Pur -
don would accompany the carr.
In closing I send nay respects and
congratulations to the people of Exe-
ter with regard to the progress they
are making and while including all,
allow me, Mr. Editor, to mention par-

DEATH. -That grim destroyer with
its blighting touch !ribbed the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Kerr of their'
infant daughter' at the age of 12 days.
The little babe contracted a cold and
on Tuesday evening of last week the
Angel wafted the spirit ter the hone

that was mortal of the baby girl was

heal is mf the parents. We commend
Mr, and Mrs. Kerr to Mina who doeth
all things well.

idents, in the person of Catherine

DEATH OF HENRY LAMI'ORT.-Grad-

til about a year ago when Bright's dis-
ease set in, and since then the ravages
of the disease had been gradually
reducing his strength. A little over it
week ago he became worse and the
end came rapidly. He was highly re-
spected by all; a Methodist in religion
and at Reformer in politics. Deceased
was a native of Canada, being born in
Woodstock. He married Miss Lizzie
