Remember, they are still
Cheaper now,
This week we are going through our stock,
Re -marking Everything Down. This is the
second time of re -marking, and we have put the
knife still deeper into prices. In reality, it will
mean goods at
25 and 30 per cent, less
than Wholesale Prices,
This reduction will apply to everything in the
store, excepting a few staples we've added, such
as—Towelling, Flannelettes, Factory Cotton, Boots,
Shoes and Groceries—these we will give you at
Cost Prices, and some below. Since taking over
this Business, we have met with great success in
the reducing of the stock, but you. will find a
good assortment left yet. Sale will end about
the 1st of March.
Remember, from now until then,
no reasonable offer refused, as
everything must be sold : : : :

Stanfield's Unshrinkable
Underwear
Is made from the finest Nova Scotia Wool,
which is famous for its softness, strength and
elasticity, not found in any other wool in the
world and Stanfield's is the only Underwear
in the world made from it.
Warm Enough for
the Northwest . .
It is knitted to de-
fy 40 and 50 below
zero, without being
heavy or clumsy. It
is made for Canadian people, to protect them
against Canadian winters. Imported Underwear
is all right for England, but not for C'anada.
The Very Thing
for the Farmer.
When working all day
in the cold, ordinary
underwear is not warm
enough, but Stanfield's
being in special weight and knitted in a peculiar
way, is what he wants. All sizes and weights
to suit anybody and everybody—tall or short—
stout or slim. Every garment fully guaranteed.
Your money back if it shrinks. Wear them this
winter, and you'll always wear them. Come in
and see them.

—In the Canadian Northwest, rail-
way Wilding is going on rapidly.
The C. P. R. is extending' its branch
lines; the Canadian Northern is reach-
ing out towards the Pacific coast, and
the Grand Trunk Pacific will shortly
add its extensive mileage. With the
rapid development of the west, these
roads will all he needed, and each will
assist in the further development of
the country. The same conditions of
railway extension prevail in the Wes-
' tern States. Eleven great corpora-
tions and twenty-five smaller com-
panies have planned to build 0,020
miles, costing e..e4) million dollars, and
the Chicago & Milwaukee road will
add 1500 miles to its lines, in order to
enable it to reach the Pacific coast.
—The Dominion Government has
decided to call the next session of Par-
liament during the second week in
March. The date on which they have
agreed is Thursday, March 15, but un-
foreseen exigencies may cause them
to postpone it until the following

—The Department of Mines and
Lands will have its officials take stock
of the crown lands resources of the pro-
vince in older to ascertain how much
pine and other timber it has in the
immense undeveloped areas of the
north. The object of this stock tak-
ing is to guide the government in its
work of framing a policy for the fut-

—The Toronto Wo• rld understands
that the Ontario government intends
to introduce a redistribution bill at
the earliest opportunity, but on ac-
count of the large amount of public

will be laid over until next year, when
a bill will be brought in that it is ex-
pected the public will approve of.

—In the ten years ending 1901, the
indebtedness of the townships of On-
tario was reduced from $3,000,000 to
$2,607,000. In the same time the net
indebtedness of the Dominion was in-
creased from a, little over $241,000,000,
to nearly two hundred. and sixty-eight
and a half millions. The Weekly Sun
suggests that it would be well for the
Dominion if something of township
frugality could be introduced at Ot-
tawa.

—Mr. Courtney, Deputy -Minister of
Finance for Canada, is about to re-
sign. He considers the change in the
termination of the financial year from
June 30 to March 31, au improvement.
Mr. Courtney reports on the finances
of the 'year as follows :—The receipts
on Consolidated Fend, amounted to
$71,182,772, and expenditure on the
same account to $63,310,092, giving a
surplus of receipts over expenditure
amounting to $6,863,089. The capital
expenditure totalled $15,484,455, and
deducting from this the surplus, $2,-
201,018 of sinking funds and. some
smaller amounts, it leaves $5,350,448
to be added to the national debt,
which now amounts to $266,224,166.
The average rate of interest on gross
debt for the year was.$2.81, as com-
pared with $3.08 in the previous year,
and the net rate of interest fell from
$2.46 to $2.20,
*
—The excise returns giving the
quantity of spirituous liquor con-
sumed in Canada show that during
the last fiscal year 3,112,843 gallons,
valued at $5,947,120, were entered for
consumption, as compared with 3,481,-
287 gallons, of the value of $6,650,602,
in the previous twelve months, a de-
crease of 308,411 gallons in quantity,
and $709,476 in value. There is an in-
creasing foreign demand for Canadian
spirits. An increase is shown in the
consumption of malt liquors, the
quantity of malt consumed in 1905
being '15,509,810, as against 75,430,317
for the year previous. There were
30,330,070 gallons manufactured, an
increase of 3,01)4,085 gallons. in the
last ;heal year 8,115,904e pounds of
tobacco, 6,708,800 cigarettes and 93,-
081,295 cigars were consumed in Can-
ada. Compared with 1903-01 this is a

HOW MEN SUCCEED.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Best
Made.
"In my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds," says Mrs. Cora 'Walker of Pot.-
terville, California. There is no doubt
about its being the best.. No other
will cure a cold so quickly. No other
is so sure a preventive of pneumonia,.
No other is so pleasant and safe to
take. These are good reasons why it
should be preferred to any other. The
fact is that few people are satisfied
with any other after having once used
dile remedy. For sale by all Drug-
gists.
The World's Work gives a number
Of examples of men who have made
their mark in life, and risen from
humble positions to competence.
' Among them are two Canadians, and
we select a few of the examples given.
Not so many years ago Mr. John
Kirby built a little mill on a quiet
river in the long -leaf pine lands of
Texas. He bought a few hundred
acres of standing timber and cut it
into lumber for the local demar,d.
The business grew. The ox-csa t and
the raft were succeeded by the rail -
ay, Tina by his own labor and the
labor of bus men. He called to his
help the capital of richer men than
himself. At the last, as president of
the Kilby Lumber Company, he eon -
trolled 7,000,000,000 feet of standing
timber, twenty mills and more than
175 miles of lumber railway. The
great deeline of 1003 swept his corn -
perry into bankruptcy, but the fact
remains that Mr. John Kirby had be-
conse President john Kirby, lumber
monopolist and arbiter of destiny for
1 half a dozen Texas towns.
