It is said that the enumerators in 1891 pum- bered 4,524, and in_1gor the total was 8,800. Moreover, it is explain- ed that the rate of pay was increas- ed in 1901, so that enumeracors couid earn a maximum of $3 per day. One hundred and ten enumera- tors were required for the Yukon, Mackenzie, agd Athabasca districts which had nbt been' enumerated previously. al RE Sela The Small Advertiser.

This is a rare chance and a good saving and only lasts a few days. a There seems to be an idea preva- lent that advertising is for large dealers only. This belief has kept many a small merchant from im proving his oppottunities in this direction. Nearly, if not all, the large retail merchants of the present day have became so by cxtensive advertis- ing.
