EDITORAL NOTES.
The editors who accepted Mr. Row
ell's invitation to dine with him at the
parliament buildings must be amused
by the highly -imaginative pictures
that function in some Conservative
newspapers. Our local contemporary
excels itself when it says Mr. Rowell
summoned the editors to convey
them Sir Wilfrid Laurier's orders. The
secret may as well be revealed. Mr.
Rowell d;l not convey Sir. Wilfrld's
orders, or disclose Sir Wilfrid's mind
on anything. Furthermore, Mr. Rowell
conveyed no orders of his own, and
asked no favor except the enjoyment
of his excellent dinner. -London Ad-
vertiser.
During the eleven months, April 1
March 1, of the current fiscal year,
311,846 immigrants arrived in Canada.
Of this number 194,388 arrived
ocean ports and 117,458 from the Unit-
ed States. These figures show an in-
crease of 15 per cent. as compared with
those for the corresponding months
the last fiscal year, which were 164,486
at ocean ports and 106,905 from the
United States, making a total for the
eleven months, April 1 to March 1
of the previous fiscal year, of 271,392.
During the month of February, this
year, there were 11,141 arrivals, 5,389
of them having been at ocean ports and
5, 752 from the United States,
against 10,705 for February last year,
5,816 of whom were at ocean ports and
4,889 from the United States.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for pale
People are an all year round tonic,blood-
builder and nerve -restorer. But they
a; are especially valuable in the spring
d ; when the system is loaded with impnr-
n 1 ities as a result of the indoor life of the
;winter months. There is no other sea-
mson when the blood is so much in need
t : of purifying and enriching, and every
. !dose of these pills helps to make new,
s 'rich. red blood. In the spring one feels
weak and tired -Dr. Williams' Pink
s Pills give strength. In the spring the 1
n appetite is often poor - Dr. Williams'

Miss Lind, referred to in the follow-
ing from the High River, Al•a., Times,
is a sister of Mrs. Andrew Currie:
.A. merry group of ladies and children
assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
David Morrison, the other day, to en-
gage in an old-time quilting bee. When
quilts were completed, supper was an-
nounced, and all sat down to a bounti-
ful repast provided by the hostess.
While the guests were still seated Mrs.
J. S. McTavish arose and read the fol-
lowing address, while Rev. J. Kennedy,
the new pastor, presented the suitcase:
Dear Miss Lind, -We, the ladies and
friends of Tongue Creek, would take
this opportunity of expressing to you
the regret we feel at your departure
from our midst. Since your coming
among us, these seven years, by your
warm, quiet sympathy and unceasing
interest, endeared yourself to one and
all. The community at large can testi-
fy to your unselfish interest in all that
tends to elevate. We will long remem-
ber the happy hours that in God's prov-
idence we have been privileged to spend
together, and trust that at no distant
date we may again be permitted to en-
joy. Please accept this small token of
our esteem, and in all your travels you
may be assured that our best wishes
travel with you.
All then joined in singing "For she's
a jolly good fellow." Miss Lind was
taken entirely by surprise, so briefly
thanked the ladies and friends for their
exceeding kindness. The remainder of
the evening was spent in singing and
socia! chat, when all departed to their
several homes after thanking Mr. and
Mrs. Morrison for their kind hospitali-
ty
Miss Lind expects to leave soon for
Edmonton where she will remain for a
time.

in the spring that p. sons in the blood

Pills speedily clear the skin because
they go to th rot of the trouble in the
blood. In th •ring anaemia, rheum-
atism, indige ion, neuralgia erysiplas
and many other troubles are most per- i
sistent because of poor, weak blood,
and it is at this time when all nature
takes on new life that the blood most
seriously needs attention. Some people
dose themselves with purgatives at
this season, but these only further
weaken themselves. A purgative
merely gallops through the system emp-
tying the bowels, but it does not cure
anything. On the other hand Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills actually make new
blood which reaches every nerve and or-
gan in the body, bringing new strength,
new health and vigor to weak, easily
tired men, women and children. Try
Williams' Pink Pills this spring -they
will not disappoint you.

LIVE STOOK MARKETS.
Toronto, March 18 -There were not
so many really high-class cattle sold at
the Union Stock Yards yesterday as
last Monday, with the result that top
prices were not quite so high. The best
figure reached yesterday was $7.05 for
a load of choice steers for export.
Butcher buyers paid figures which were
quite equal to export figures. There
was a strong, healthy tone to the trade
in medium good cattle. Fat cows were
a feature, some selling as high as $5.75.
Cows ranged from $4 to $5.60 with the
exception of this choice bunch. Bulls
were also steady at ' $3.50 to $5.50.
Good butcher cattle ranged from $6 to
$7, and medium and common cattle
fet:hed from $4.50 to $5.90. Milkers
Iwere not wanted, and there was no
trade in feeders and stockers because
none were offering. Lambs were steady
and strong at $7 to $8, and sheep were
also unchanged. Hogs were 15e higher
at $7.50, fed and watered. Receipts
totalled 87 cars -1,672 cattle, 44 calves,
294 hogs, and 94 sheep and lambs.
