for many year has been one of the

They fought over it once before and
Chile won. That Chile would not
have won again bad the matter
been left to arms it is diflicelt to be
neve. Between the two countries(
there stretches the immense water-
less waste of Atacama and Tarapaca,
which was for a long time supposed
to be absolutely worthless since no
rain falls there and nothing grows.
But in the latter half of the nine-
teenth century It was discovered that
in this waste were practically une
Heiken supplies of nitrate of soda,
and since this fertilizer was in great
demand in leurope, this desert sud-
denly became immensely valuable,
The Province of Tarapaea belonged
to Peru at this time, Atacama to
Chile, while adjoining were Arica and
Tacna owned by Bolivia. All were in
the heart of the nitrate deposits, the
importance of 'which Chile was the
first to discover. Chile then made a
bargain with Belivia whereby tor
consideration of $1 0,0 0 0 she secured
the right to the nitrate in the Bony..

Practical monopoly of an industry
that was to attain gigantic propore

had the lead, and was never over-
taken. It appears that one of the
strange peculiarities of Peruvian na-
ture is a Jealousyof more thriving
and prosperous neighbors, and she
began to hop e that Chile would.
choke. Bolivia also witnessed Chile's
prosperity with ill -concealed feeling
of envy, and Meetly the two entered
into a defensive alliance, It is sup-
posed that it was at the suggestion
of Peru that Bolivia imposed a tax
on. all the nitrate that was exported
from Tacna and Arica. This brought
a fierce protest from Chile.
Bolivia disregitrded the protest and
attempted to collect the tax where-
upon Chile seized the port of Ante-
fogasta—so now you see what the
word means. Thi a inevitably led
to a declaration of war by Bolivia
in 1879. Peru offered to at as
mediator, but Chile suspecting that
she would favor her partner In true
Peruvian fashion refused her offices.
It was then Peru's turn to grow sus-
Dieious, for she feared 'that victorous Chile might attempt to seize
her own nitrate province of Tarapaea.
So Peru declared war, and arrived
ust in time to take Bolivia'i place,
or the latter, with no navy and a
mall array, was speedily put out of
etion by her more powerful antago-
nist. Chile was, indeed, well prepared
o fight. Her navy was made tip of
ronclads, then modern, and her
roops were Xrupp-armed and well
rained.
Peru had three ships of war, which
ought gallantly against great odds.
Her veiny was more numerous and
ucceeded in contiming the war for
ve years, at the end of which time
era had te, aeknowledge herself

A True Incident
Some few weeks ago g certain man living n this.
vicinity was.greatly elated owing to the fact that he
had sent to Montreal to a certain catalogue house and
had procured a pair of shoes for +4.25 which he claim-
ed could not be bought in Wingham for less than $6.
In his glee he opened the parcel and showed the ;:ihoes
to several who were waiting their turn (the incident
happened in a barber shop in Winglialn)
"Go across the street" said the barber, "and take a,
look at the shoes in Willis' window", with the- result
that he went and came back a rnoria,;•nt later a stickler
but wiser man for these are his own word,:
"I paid $4.25 for those shoes in Montreal
and Willis is showing the very same kind
in his window at 3.00 per pair."
KINDLY NOTE We are prepared to meet the price of
any shoe as advertised in, any' • Canadian catalogue
and besides that we sew rips on all shoes got from
us 'Tree of Charge"
Try our repair department—We are turning ,out good
work and do it promptly.
