The following reference to the late
Lauohlin Fraser, whose death was brief-
ly referred to in our last issue, is taken
from the Brussels Post: Lauchlin Fras-
er, of the 1st line of Morris, who has
been a severe sufferer for many weeks,
and in delicate health for the past 12
years, died on Saturday, and was buried
by Court Douglas, O, O. F. The Fraser
family have the sympathy of the com-
munity in this hour of trial. Mrs. Fras-
er has been ill for some time, but at the
time of her husband's death and funeral
was able to sit up. All Mr. Fraser's
family had been in close attendance on
him during his last illness. They are
51ra. John Geddes, Belgrave; Mrs. Ro-
bert Shaw, Bluevale; Mrs Jas. Robert-
son, Boissevain, Man.; Mrs. John Mus-
tard, Morris; Martha, Maggie and Zarifa
at home, and the only son, William, who
lives alongside the homestead. Mr.
Fraser's brother, Alexander, being un-
married, had always made bis home
with the family. Mrs. John MoVettie,
of Morris is a sister. Mr. Fraser was
born of Scottish parents is Lower Can-
ada in 1S40, coming to Ontario when a
young man, and settling in the "Qaeen'e
Bush," 1st line of Morris. He was unit-
ed in marriage to Miss Mary A. Turvey
in 1866. Deceased was very patient dur-
ing his illness and endeavored to hide
his sufferings as mach as possible so as
avoid giving his family pain or trouble.
He was most thoughtful of others, a
thorough Christian, and loved to con-
verse on religiose subjects, giving clear
evidence that he was well prepared for
departing from this life. For many
years Mr. Fraser was a member of Ebe-
nezer Methodist church, and Superin-
tendent of the Sabbath School, until he
took i11. Last Monday the funeral took
place to Wingham cemetery. A very
appropriate service was conducted by
his pastor, Rev. Geo. Baker, assisted by
the Rev. W. J. serest, M A. Mr. Fraser
was 66 years of age.
As a matter of fact, there is uo great
question to engage the Legislature.
When the Ross Government gave up
the reins the Province was prosperous
and the Government machinery was
running with the smoothness of a watch.
The business of government was a snap
for the incomers. -Windsor Record.
Receipts from the incorporation of
companies at the department of the
Secretary of State have increased enor-
mously. In 1896 they only amounted to
$5,000, whereas in the Iast calendar year
they totalled $120,000. The receipts
were enough to pay all the expenses of
the department and leave $60,000 to the
good.
There was a decrease of 1,451 in the
immigratioa to Canada during the seven
months eudiug Jan. 31, as compared
with the same time in the previous year.
There was au increase of 776 from the

Of these, 20,266 were from the United

Rumors as to a redistribution bill of a
general nature, or one affecting Toronto
alone, being brought down at the present
session of the house,were set at rest by the
Premier. In answer to the inquiries of
of newspaper men Mr. Whitney said in
the most emphatic manner, "There will
he no redistribution bill this session."
To farther questions he answered that
the Government had not and was not
considering the introduction of legisla-
tion increasing the sessional indemnity.

W. A. FRASER
Canada's Author, Artist and Engineer.
Knowing the life of William A. Fraser the books he has written seem hr
evitable. Each is the harvesting of certain distinct years of his living; renewed,
revivified and transformed by his individuality. The nervous intensity of the
writing, the incisive, forceful phrases, the keen observation, the humor, the origi-
nality, the sympathy with nature in all its phases, the artistic genius in eatehing
instantly the essentials of a scene or an episode are characteristic of Fraser the
man, as well as of Fraser the author. His books are himself; he writes because
he loves to write, because he cannot help writing.
Born in Nova Scotia- in 1859 of Scotch parentage, his early school days were
spent in Boston and later in New York. His unusual artistic ability early became
manifest, and it seemed that he was destined for a sculptor's life, but the death
of his father changed his plans. Iie now paints scenes in his novels in vocabularic
colors instead of with a brush. It was with regret that he temporarily gave
up the oils of art for the oil of commerce and made a specialty of petroleum; but
he was thorough and a second time mastered oil.
In 1881 he went to India as an expert for some English capitalists, and later
tho British government employed hint on some mission in 13cluchistan, Nine
years he spent in India, Burma and the neighboring countries, not studying the
country idly from an armchair, but in nine years of constant travel, where he
saw everything and forgot nothing, and it is the splendid fruitage of these years
that is garnered in his stories of India.
In 1889 he returned to Boston and married Miss Barber of Toronto, and the
yearfollowing, went back with his wife for an eight months' stay in the Orient.
On returning to Canada he settled in Toronto and for six years went each summer,
surveying and doing other engineering work in the North-West. It was far away
from the whirr of humanity; lonely, often having no roof but the starry sky,
no bed but his blanket, no restaurant but his pouch. He inet trappers and guides
sometimes, grew to know and love the annuals better, and his splendid stories of
Canadian life and charmingly sympathetic animal stories would never have been
written but for the payment of price in months of isolation. His first story was
published in the"Detroit Free Press," and a few others soon afterward gave hitn
that first rich taste of literary creation. He ,vent each year to the North-West
with greater reluctance as it cut out his time for writing, until finally reluctance
led to rebellion and then to revolt, and he turned his back on it all forever and
consecrated his life to literature and art. Mr. Fraser has had the honor of hav-
ing his paintings hung on the line with the work of professional artists.

Stansfield'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 Stansfield is the only Underwear
in the world made from it.
Warm Enough
For the NorthwW est
It is knitted to defy 40 and 5o degrees below
zero, without being heavy or clumsy. It is
made for the Canadian people, to protect them
against the Canadian climate. Imported Un-
derwear is all right for England but not "or
Canada.
The very thing
For the Farmer
When working all day in the cold, ordinary
underwear is not warm enough, but Stansfield
being in special weight and knitted in a pecu-
liar way is just 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 always will.
Come in and see them.
