Midwinter Fair Rates
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-rhe Canadian
Pacific proved today conclusively that it
was not guilty OF the charges of cutting
rates to the Pacific coast. 1t was re-
ported it had made $27 rate. A man
named Howard had agreed to carry a
party there for that figure, but the
Canadian Pacific declined the overtures
from him. This ia all there ie to the
rumor. The Canadian Pacific announces
rate OF $23 from st. Paul to San Fran
cisco. which would make the Chicago
rate $34.5 80, cut of $3.50.

seemed to have resulted in determine
ton not to enlighten the public any
further on what it is proposed to do in
Honolulu, or what has already been
done, but to allow it to await the regu-

all modern improvements up to date which
are known or found In first-class family sew
ing machine.
The automatic bobbin winder winds all sizes
of thread on the bobbin as easily as spool OF
thread is wound, without care or attention on
the part of the operator, except to keep the
treadle moving. Owing to the machine having
what is termed a tight and loose wheel, the
oobbin can be wound without running the
working parts Of the machine. This is quite
an advantage. as it does not necesstate the re-
moving of the goods from underneath the
presser foot, nor even unthreading the ma
chine.
The needle is short and straight, thus insur-
ing great strength; 1t is also self-setting, re-
quiring no care on the part OF the operator.
The pressure on the sewing foot is adjustable.
and when the foot is raised to remove the work
from the machine, it brings into play the au-
tomato tension release. This takes the ten
sion from the thread. and the goods can be re-
moved from the machine without bending the
needle or break ing the thread. Every operator
on old style machines will appreciate this
point.
Each machine is furnished with the follow
ing accessories AMI attachments;
Oil can filed with oil, IL needles, 9 bobbins,
wrench, guide and guide screw, large and small
screw driver, instruction book, foot hemmer,
Teller, ruffler, tucker, binder, and set of
hemmers of assorted widths. We also furnish
a written guarantee warranting the machine
for five years, breakage of needles and shuttles
excepted This shows the great confidence we
have in the machine, which we justly claim to
be the best value for the money ever offered.
