While: W. T. Shatford & Co. are noted for the quality and
price of the goods sold by them. PROSPECTORS and
MINERS operating in the Similkameen and surrounding
mining carps, would do well to outfit at one of our stores,
where everything is kept that i.s needed in the mining business.
, Instead of buying outside, buy right at home, and so save
money, and this more particular!) refers to prospectors going
into the district above referred to.

Sir Charles said further that he bad
the best means of knowing that the
universal ru action against the
Laurier Government contributed largely to the defeatof Mr. (ireenway. Sir.

was a sl niggle for his own political
life, hul be con lined his person.,I exertions mainly to his own constituency

six out of the nine local constituencies
of which the Doniinion electorate of
Brandon is composed. This shows
conclusively that he will he driven
out of puhlic life should he venture to
again coutesi that constituency,
He (Sir Charles) had been steadily
travelling through ihe Dominion since
