Thursday August 13, 1903 The Canadian wool clip is short this year. It is estimated that there will be a falling off of about L'5 per cent. While a great deal has been said about building a levy or opening up and straightening the channel of Willow creek, the stu pendousnesa of the task has not been realized until recent investiga tion. It is a great task and would cost an immense sum. Hon. Otis Pattersou, formerly of the Gazette, will again launch in the newspaper business.

How much money has Mr. Carnegie given to the poor devils from whom he made his fabulous wealth. Has Summer Wash Goods and Waistings We have a largo quantity of Summer Wash Goods and Waistings left over and will sell them at a reduction to make room for fall goods. These include Lawns, Ginghams, Percales, Dimities, Batistes, Silk Ginghams and Mercerized Ginghams, and are all this season's goods.

There is no data by which it can be shown what number out of lo - 000 nereons sufferiner from this old- new affliction came back to health in the years before the practice of operating for appendicitus began. Hence it is impossible to tell by comparison whether surgery has scored a decided triumph over this disease or not. Ex. MO HI- FLOUR FOR THE ORIFZT. The new rata OQ flour aud wheat j to the orient is said to have stimu lated the transpacific trade and it is announced that another steam- wlnn will lip nopilfd In hnndlt? the freight offered on the liue that is operated in connection with the O. . & x. from Portland. There is likelv to be a similar demand foi space on other northern lines, which will mea.i a considerable in crease in the already promising oriental business. The growth of the flour exports to the orient in the last 10 years has been remarkable, beginning as it did with practically nothing. Many mills have paid particular attention to the China and Japan trade and for some years they were J running night and day to supply the demand. It was no easy mat ter to introduce this American product, but the pioneers in the business achieved splendid results and there is no doubt that thev laid tha foundations for a great commerce in flour alone.

Most of the fruit is shipped in which is no fault of the country, but from the fact that little or no attention is paid to fruit growing.
