' . A policy of reciprocity in natural
products and timber and free trade in
; agricultural Implements with the TJnl-
' tl ted States would, it is urged, prove a
t ' great boon to the Canadian farmer, both
Mas to baying and selling, as it would
enable him to get his implements and
'' farm equipment- cheaper, and to sell
his i wheat for more, , as , the western
farnfera clahn the prices of wheat In
ine ' Minneapolis market range cone id
erab'.y higher than the price In Winni
peg. .
In rrsrard to the proposed Hudson
Bay railway, the farmers are emphat
ically in favor of government construc
tion, ownership and operation of th
line, believing that private ownership
would result in a monopoly that would
be hurtful to the Interests of the pub
lic' The establishment of a chilled meat
trade In Camilla and the pafislng of a
law to permit the formation of coop
erative societies are matters that have
long been advocated, particularly by
the -western farmers, in the-belief that
the entire country would be greatly
benefited thereby,
Fublio Elevators.
The western grain growers consider
the demand that the terminal elevators
at Fort William and Port Arthur, which
form the outlet from the west to the
seaboard by way of the great lakes, be
taken over and conducted as a public
utility, as one of the most important
Items in the entire program. They al
lege that the present system of pri
vate ownership and , operation consti
tutes a natural monopoly which has
proven detrimental to the interests of
the public, through the mixing of In
ferior grades of wheat with the better
samples.:.;,'' ':"; j-j t-

. Better late than never. Here is a treat to my old customers as well as to new patrons. .While I was in London last July, buying
my woolens, I went also to Huddersfield, England, and made a large purchase of woolens,, which goods were to follow me; but
by, misdirection these goods were shipped astray to, Portland, Maine, instead of Portland, Oregon. These goods arrived here No
vember 11, three months too late., , ' . J '
I therefore refused to accept this late shipment Negotiations followed. In order that I accept this shipment of goods, the
manufacturers have allowed me 37 per cent discount Now, I want my patrons to receive the benefit of this large discount
These goods should sell from $40.00 to $55.00 per suit at regular price; but in order to give you the benefit of thU large dis
count I will give you your unrestricted choice of this lot of suits or overcoats made to your order with extra pants absolutely
free of charge from $30.00 to $35.00. . , v; v . . V . '
I go hot have to brag of my reputation for making clothes. The years I have been in business in Portland, with thousands of
suits that I have made, is enough to testify to my integrity in doing business. Bear in mind that my store is one of the largest
Tailoring Establishments-in Portland, and carries the largest stock of imported woolens in the city. All garments are cut by me
personally, and every detail is carefully watched and all pur goods are made on the premises under my personal supervision. ,
