Spring

Is here early but our large va
riety Of SeasOnable footwear was
here first.
1t will be interesting to look in
our window Saturday morning
and see some of the new styles of
Spring shoes.
The Oxford will still take the
lead with the ladies. Some idea
OF the amount sold can be judged
by our first order which was for
1000 pairs, but it is small part
of what we shall sell this season.
In buying shoes in this way we
can retail them at ten per cent
less than if bought in smaller
quantities.
We can show a larger variety
Of boots and shoes and quote
lower prices than ever before.
Come in and look them over !;
no trouble.

dixie farms have been cleared out Of
dense forests and are exceedingly
valuable, worth 5000 to $500 an acre.
They are wonderfully productive,
yielding one hundred bushels of oats
or barley per acre, and other crops in
proportion. 1t is a life-work for a
man by his own labor to reclaim, drain
and dixie a farm of this kind. It is
lamentable that these hard working
people should see the work of life
time swept away.
These farmers are mostly gold seek
ers who f1ocked to the Fraser River
in the later sixties, at the time of the
great gold excitement there. Re-
turning from the gold fields on the
headwaters, they selected choice
spots on the lower river and became
farmers. 1t is supposed that great
amounts of gold have been washed
down from the mountains upon the
sand bars of the river. Many of the
farmers who have lost their crops and
their all will doubtless turn to mining
again.

We met New England man a few
days ago who was just home from a
| five years stay in the West. He went
there in days of prosperity, both to
himself and seemingly to every one
else about him. When he left the
east, people were going to certain
doomed towns on "personally con-
Quoted excursions and were invest
| ing in real estate which was sure to
| grow doubly valuable in the shortest
kind of time. Some became SO
charmed with the prospect of imme-
date wealth that they settled there
to grow up with the country, expect
ing to become leading citizens and
| men of wealth in about one quarter
of the time they could even get a
| foothold at home. How is it now !?
Our friend states that we in New
England know nothing whatever of
| hard times as compared to the far
| wes.. Property has decreased in
value in good localities, and sunk out
of sight, SO to speak, in the doomed
sections. Many a man is stranded
| without money enough to get back,
and is simply existing. Without
doubt prosperous days are in store
| for our western friends; but there is
not the accumulated wealth there
| that is to be found in the older Sec
tions of the country, and consequent
ly the recovery will be slower. The
Industrious boomer will keep work
drawing what money he can from the
east, and the eastern man viii still
continue to send his cash west, though
more guardedly. There is lesson in
all this we'll worthy of considera ton.
The great desire to make money and
to become rich has been a disease
with the children Of those who were
contented to earn and save a very
moderate sum, year by year. Our
young men have gone from New
England to different parts Of the
country to make their fortunes. In
the scramble for wealth, great chances
have been taken, hard times came on,
and now the great majority have
nothing but bitter experience to bank
upon. When shall we learn to be as
Industrious and frugal as our fathers,
and content in small doings until fit
ted for larger ones Unquestionably
we shall have got things down to
fine point one of these days, espec
tally if there is not more hustling done
by our national law makers.-Eu-

THE FLOODS ON THE FRASER.

The final reports from the flooded
districts of the Pacific Northwest are
appalling in loss of life and damage
to property. This destruction has
extened from the Fraser River in
in British Columbia, southwark
through Washington and Oregon. But
the greatest devastation has been in
the Fraser Vally, where Is, 200 people,
almost the entire population, are
homeless, and the number of deaths
are unknown.
The cause of these unprecedented
floods was an area Of high tempera
ture, in the latter part Of May, which
extended over the Selkirk and Cas-
cade mountains, where the Fraser and
Columbia rivers have their sources.
This made the snow melt so rapidly
that every gulch was filed with rag
ing streams and precipitated huge
masses of snow from the steep noun
tain sides into the warm valleys, and
down into the rivers. Such disturb
anceS are not unusual at this season,
when those mountains resound with
the roar of avalanches and the thun-
der Of land slides. It is the most dan
gerOus time of the year to be among
them. Everything is SO impregnated
with water that the very rock lodges
seem unsubstantial, and often crack
apart and plunge down abysses. This
is the way spring always merges into
summer, with terrible convulsions
The floods of this year only indicate
cataclysm of greater degree.
The Fraser River in it's lower course,
where most of the damage occurred,
flows fifteen miles north of the Amer
lean boundary. This river is only six
hundred miles in length, but in it's
normal condition it pours more water
into the sea than the Mississippi. It
is navigable a hundred miles by
steamers to Yale, well up among the
mountains. The Fraser's drainage
basin is the wettest part of the North
American continent except Alaska.
Throughout its course it is fed by
great lakes and unknown streams as
large as the Hudson and Connecticut.
The snowfall last winter in the noun
tains where it rises was almost in
credible, being reported by railroad
men as fifty to seventy feet.
Overflows on these rivers as well as
the Fraser are SO regular that the first
work of the farmer is to dixie his land
on the river side, and against the sea
if he is near the coast. For he must
guard against the inflow of tides on
one side and the flood of the river on
the other. On the top of these dikes
are wagon-roads and paths. These

The result of breeding in New England for
the last ten years has demonstrated that no
other combination OF blood lines is, as pro-
ductive of uniform speed as the Wilkes Nor
gan Comb ination.
Allen Wilkes is one of the results OF such
union and has shown that he is a trotter, by
making a race record of 2:2s at White River
Junction, Aug. d. 1893.
Bred he is i'm the strongest lines of
Hambletonian and Morgan families he
should be able to transmit to his progeny, the
trotting gem-and this he has done to many
the colts that he has sired, one having shown
a mile better than 2:30,and many others show
3 minutes or better. Out of colts sired by
Allen as a 2-year. old, were sold as young
horses for extra prices, one for S400
The color OF Allen Wilkes is a rich mahog-

that are not bay.
Allen Wilkes is perfectly sound and poss-
esses perfect family horse disposition. The
fact that Allen Wilkes dam produced Cob
