Hope People Send
Clothing MpIs. Poor.

Are there millionaires in Hope?
Yes, if the peoples purses are as big
as their hearts. There came word
from the Union Mission of Minneapo-
lis that there was much suffering
among the poor Of that city for want
of clothing. This gave some of our
people the hint to get busy, as here
was an easy chance to be good. The
result was in few hours about 900
pounds of clothing were contributed,
carted together and packed in nine
barrels and boxes and Immediately
shipped out.
1t can hardly be said that it was old
clothing for a majority of it was prac-
tically as good as new, while some of
it was brand new off the shelves of our
merchants. Some of the ladies con-
tributed large bundles of womens' and
childrens' clothing of all kinds, of ex-
cellenty quality, clean and nice. There
were dozens of mems suits thrown in
as good as President Roosevelt wears.
There was nice sprinkling of infants
wear which was an exceptionally well
come contributions, as the superinten-
dent of the mission informs us that he
is never able the half supply the de-
mand for this class of clothing. About
barrel of pretty good shoes was
packed. AltOpether it is a splendid
gift to the unfortunate of Minneapolis
sent freight prepaid.
An average suit of clothes for man
or woman will weigh about six
pounds. Nine hundred pounds will
make $50 suits; at $1,000 per suit
amounts to Sl,SO0 which. means that
as many wants will be Immediately
supplied as that amount of cash
would do.-Moral: Don It burn up or

Communicated,

From time to time we hear some of
our business men numerically roast
certain citizens of the community for
patronizing catalogue houses. That
is we'll and good. That class of citi-
zens should be roasted. Also semi
occasionally we hear a howl of right
eous indignation about these same
business men not properly supporting
our home undertakings themselves.
There is good cause for this we believe,
because what is right is right, whether
it favors business men or customers.
You may ask any business man in town
what he would think of me, or you, Or
any body else if we should send to
Chicago for all our groceries, clothing
and other supplies and allow our bus
mess men to build up our town and
live on wind. Everyone of them would
say "you are unfit to live in this town
and country and they would be right.
Such man ought to move to Chicago
or Halifax or be forced to patronize
home institutions. Now we are com:
ing to the point. After repeated re-
quests from businessmen and others
interested in dance music, a number
of our musicians we're prevailed upon
to organize an orchestra this winter
and this was done almost entirely to
accommodate those men who did not
wish to be compelled to hire high
priced out-of-town orchestras when
music was desired. The boys organ
lied an orchestra and they have a
good one. They have worked and
practiced together all through the fall
and winter. Plenty good enough to
furnish all the music necessary for any
dance given in Hope. The class of
music they play is equal to any play
ed in this country outside of profess
sional class. So far this winter the
orchestra has been engaged to play
for one dance-only one. And be it
said to their credit that on this oc-
casion the class Of music furnished
was as good as the Oest ever heard
in Hope, professional organizations
included.
A Grand Ball or two will be given
in. the near future by some OF our
secret societies. A Grand Orchestra
with grand price attached to it will
b.hired simply because home talent is
rot good enough. Some OF these days

j,sted in importing foreign orchestras

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

AS Ii has for nearly two weeks past.
Washington Gas again dominated the
local market at the regular noon meet
ing today of the Washington stock Ex-
change. In the number OF sales made
the transactions were fairly well dis
tributed throughout the list, but in vol
ume of trading Washington Gas led by
such a large margin that the transfers
of that stock were greater than the
combined business in all other local
securities.
Another full point gain in the price "
Gas was registered. The last sale ;es-
terday was at 73i4, and this was the
figure paid for three blocks OF stock
at the opening of the market today.
Under strong support. the price thon
rose in sharp fractions to 74k. sales
being recorded at each advance. The
buying was distributed over a larger
neld than on other recent days. though
the interests which have absorbed most
OF the offerings since the inception Of
the upward movement were not at all
backward in acquiring more shares at
the higher levels.
The new rule making bond sales and
interest. which went into effect today
had little effect on the transactions in
bonds. though In several instances the
prices bid and asked" dropped one or
two points. the decrease representing al
most exactly the amount of interest ac-
crued upon each bond list. For example,

In price does not at all indicate a varia-
tion in value of these securities Ono
sale was made at 102is. and this means
simply that the purchaser will be re-
quired to pay 102ls plus the amount Of
interest earned by his bonds from the
