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.

Ancthewer Balgonie, Sask., Jan. 14, ll)llfi, 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 visited the land office several times 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.

'those engaged in this industry of mixed farming are dis- counting those confining their atten- tion lit grain growing attune. 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.

If it is a suc- 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- ticular ly the Exeter Band and the gen - h►1 proprietor of the Central lintel. :'wish you a happy and pMepetnn8 New Year.
