CASTOR IA For Infante and Children. tMr Klri Yes Niro Always limit Bears the Signature of MILLINERY OPENINGS The millinery openings held las Friday and Saturday were highly successful and much credit is duo the ladies whose occupation it is to look after the spring creations of women's headgear. The styles this year are mach different from thong of last. when the sailor hat was all the rage. The "Mushroom" shape seems to be nearly everything this spring. with a few sailors. The different show rooms were crowded with buyers and prospective buyers on both days of the openings and the merchants are wearing' ex- pansive smiles over the largo( sales. Tho rooms were daintily arranged for the occasion and the displays of millinery art were pleasing eves to the members of the sterner sox, whose chief duty it is to foot the bills, even though most of them are unable to tell the front from the back of the artistic creations. SNELL & ROWE Miss Judge, in charge of the firm's millinery department had some very dainty shapes on exhibition. A very pretty hat of the "Mushroom" shape was at picture hat in black with white facing. trimmed with largo black plumes: A stylish hat for a young lady was one of the came style with pointed edges and trimm- ed with lace and flowers. There were also some pretty sailor shapes with drooping back and front. Many of the hats are trimmed with grasses. J. A. STEWART Although Mr. Stewart does not hold the usual millinery opening days the display in the millinery de- partment, under the supervision of Miss Sanders was nevertheless up to the standard and many dainty hats are shown. One very pretty hat was a• -grey chip, trimmed with ,old rose and maline, with grey shaded plumes to match. Another pretty design was a sailor in Copenhagen blue. with pale blue single rose and grasses for trimming. A young ladies hat was a leghorn, drooping with lace insertion and bows of brown velvet ribbon and cream and pink ribbon. ' JONES AND CLARK The display in Jones & Clark's mil- linery department, under the super• vision of Miss White contains some very beautiful and stylish creations. One beauty was of the mushroom shape of fine white pyreralirro braid and baby Irish Taco facing, the top completely covered with white French lilacs, and green and black maidenhair fern, surmounted by a beautiful mother of pearl buckle and white and green ribbon under brim at back. A brown chip hat, with short drooping front and long drooping back with soft folds of brown and green tulle around crown with shed - ed green quill and agate buckles, with n soft drooping bow of bronn ribbon underneath claimed particu- lar attention. MISTS MORLOCK Miss Morlock, as is her usual cus- tom had a very pleasing exhibition and was kept on the alert showing her customers the many pleasing adornments. Here the mushroom hat was in evidence of all shapes and colors. The principal colors shown by Mies M.orlock were of blue pink and Nankin shades, while roses, moss and grasses were used principally for trimming. t Death of M 14.

OENERAL SELLING AGENT FOR WESTERN RAILWAY LANDS During the past three years I have travelled over all of the wheat raising districts of' the West, and in that time have sold many thousands of acres of wheat lands. And on ac- count of my connections with the great railway land compan- ies, I have had access to valuable information in advance of the public and the ordinary agent, which has been of great advantage to me in making selections of lands with a view to their being near good railway facilities. Below I give a list of gilt edge propositions all of which I have carefully selected myself, having gone over each parcel carefully, and all have been selected with a view to the quality of the soil, nearness to town and shipping facilities, desirability of class of settlers . in districts in which the various lands are located. The nearness of sup- ply of coal or wood for fuel, etc., etc., and all the lands given in list below are so situated that they will be quite near towns on two or more lines of competing railways, which fact will ensure a plentiful supply of ears for shipping grain, for it is a well known fact that all the railways supply competing points with cars, while places whore there is only one line near, have to wait indefinately. And the freight rate on wheat which would be raised on any of the undermentioned; lands would not exceed 10 cts. per bushel from shipping station to Fort William or Port Arthur, and in some cases the rate would be much less. This in a moat important paint, and before you purchase land it would be wise for you to ascertian what the freight rate would be from shipping point to Fort William, for the freight on your crop has to be prtid every year, the land has to be paid for only once. If you have any idea of purchasing Western lands it will be to your interest to ace me at once. A number of persons who have purchased land from me have more than doubled their m(.ney, and some of those who have cropped their land have paid for their land with two crops. All information regarding the various lands and locations cheerfully given.
