We beg to announce to the readers of this paper, that after being tenants in 675 Columbia Street, New Westminster, for some twelve years we have been forced to vacate these premises by the end of February. In turning us out the landlord does riot consider the monetary loss we will sustain by our moving the1 largest stock of Men's Clothing, Furnishings, etc. in the City. In the ordinary way of business it is impossible to sell out such a large stock in a few short months: There is therefore only one thing we can do, and that is to sacrifice our goods and give them to the public at genuine'reductions. We have built up a large business through giving the. public the very best at the least possible cost. Among our many high-class lines are Campbell's Clothing:. These Clothes need no reccommenclation to y the better dressed man. They are the essence of style, fit, finish, and their wearing qualities have no equal/ For the next four months we are going to give the best value in Men's Furnishings ever given in this city, and it will pay you to watch this space'. / MEN'S SUITS Reg.

G. SHORTAGE OF LABOR The 'executive of the British Gol- umb:a after- full discussion, at a recent meeting; came-' to the unanimous that the labor -question has been the most pressing /One .confronting our fruit industry. This year, our fruit districts have been much handicapped by lack of labor for 'the 'harvesting <*bf bumper crop. OThe canneries and1 Jam factories have had lheir tout put -curtailed fifty per cent, largely foi{ lack of labor. The cost of labor is now so -.(high .that the majority .of their fruitgrowers have) their profits .materially reduced, in some cases seriously so. Immigration projects and municipal enterprises requiring labor are; being retarded or are not \bs- ing undertaken because of the scarcity iof lajbor. In the timbered districts ofth.e \,n \ ince, as is well known, land 'charing 'has been almost at a standstill since about 1902. In ths dairy and general farming districts thq labor scarcity is ,on.a of tho most pressing problems. British Columbia is at the present time, very favorably regarded in Great Britain as a place for the investment of capital but in too largo, a percentage of recent instances the; knowledge! of the act- iui; Iabor .conditions-has prevented investment,. Intending .settlers witih means have ,been deterred from purchasing because of the duly high cost of development of agi'/culLuraliand jfruit growing pro positions.. An increase^ fruit crop, such as can be; normally expected next year, will find .conditions much rnon.1 acuU). than this year, entailing greater costs'in-handling .the' crop. A few figures on coses in Oregon and Washington may be interesting. On .Vaaii-on. Island, our foremost competitor,in strawberries the .m,aina1go rof the Assoc iation informed me that they figur ed Ojn, growing a crate of (Strawberries fon 30 cei&ts, picking for 30 cents, packing for'12 cents aTxd paid 20 cents for the crate. The average prices received for 24 lb. crate' this year was $3.30 and the acreage, ia berrie9 at this price is increasing. In Hood River the manager of b~ -n'on '^formed mo that it cost them to grow strawberries "0 cents, to pick and pack 50 cents and crates ��jost 20 cents Any 'Strawberry grower who com pares these costs and prices .with uirs w; 1 ��� ?e what a handicap our high cost of labor Is. In Puyal- lup, th| fmost\ important raspberry section irj Washington it cost, according to the'manager-of the Association 40 centB per 22 lb. crate was .16 cents, the average price received for berries f.o.b. the cars was $1.55t at. which price .and'costs the acreage is increasing. Our , raspberry gro.werB Bhould should note these figureB. .In Puyallup, high class day labor, white, cost $2 for 10 hour day work, and per month received $40 with board; man and team,110 hours $5.00 In the Rogue. River-Valley, Southern Or/egon, a team costs $4 to $5 por,'day, day labor $1.50 .to $1.75, labor/by|. the month $30 .with board, by thes year $20 to $30~ a month with board. The average coat of, packing apples is 6c .'to 7,c a box, the boxes cost 10 to lie ������ n- growers figure they can produce apples and load them on the cars a\ a costi of 50 cents per box for No. 1 apples. In riie apple districts -of Eastern Washington prices are somewhat in advance of these but as a', rule1 prices.^ for labor and boxes are 25 per cent cheaper than iiri British Columbia. , Our selling prices must? be based nevertheless on thos/e' of our competitors in Oregon and Washington. This means that before next season we should have/made at least some progress in, 'solving the labor pro- oj'oiu at reasonable prices. While the fruit grower and especially the ismall 'holder who cannot directly /import labor in quan- , ity, is most :,affected, it is ���quite true that all our agricultural nduslrios are being retarded by !ack of labor. No organization 'which aims |to -develop any part.of '���3riti3h Columbia1 can afford to ignore this most -pressing question. More labor.is especially essential .o the; growth of our dairy, poul- ry and fruit industries. The question, is so large, and so important that any influence should be brought to ibear, to insure that.action is taken to (procure the-necessary labor Tho secretary of this association has been directed to colloct ^information from all the' sources' calculated to show the handicaps imposed upon 'us by our lack of labor. This informatipn and the 'evidence of promine nt prominent fruit growers over the whole-of'the.province will ,be presented ipt the annual meeting of his association held in Victoria in January next. The recommenda ions of the .ansociation 'will then be presented by the provincial .gov -jrnment and any other action which seems advisable will be taken. . Your ico-operatiori in ' the solution 'Of the labor question is asked ���!n. tho full confidence of a cordial response;. There can be but one opinion as to .the urgent necessity for concerted action. 1 ""~" "*"* * ~"~ "~~ "*' IX PAYS TO ADVERTISE Mrs. Ella Johnston is going to marry Mr. Albert Wil30,n." ,"<Mr. Albert Wilson is inot going to marry Mrs. E.la Johnston.'"

He admits even ye,tt hat sh<e was accepted on the spot aind that u.e agreed to call for her and take her to the marriage license office and then to a a minister.

Other-cities cannot afford to lose jthe revenue from saloon licenses.
