THE BELFAST AND MURRAY HARBOR RAILWAY SURVEY

the Belfast Raiiway survey is making very fair pro

made from that point further south. Ir

43, and some progress was

appears, however, thatthe Hon. George Forbes was anxious to have the route de- flected to his place of business at Vernon River Bridge. Thougl: this haa been done to please Mr. Forbes, it is generally believed that the route by Mr. O’Neiil’s is the best and will accommodate the most people. Some time agoa paragraph, copied from the Patriot newspaper, went the rounds stating that the mistake would not be repeated oi running the proposed road

to places like Mount Stewart, which had good steam communi- cation. If we are correctly informed, this

is exactly what Mr. Forbes now aske,to be done. We do hope that the survey and location of the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway will not be made a foottall to be played in the personal or political interests of anyone who may be temporarily clothed with some authority. If the railway t° Belfast and Murray Harbor is to be of good service to the country, the survey must be made with a view of serving the greatest number and the parts of the country now most destitute of accommodation. This end should be kept in. view, even if the cost of the railway were to a certain extent increased.

The surveying party has now passed through Montague West, Surrey and Gairloch, and is heading for Flat River, the native place of Mr. H. G. McDonald, M.L. A. This is al] very well, if other sections are satisfied. What is to become of Caledoaia, Heatherdale, St. Mary’s Road, Brooklyn, Glenwilliam, Rona, Mid- dleton, Murray Harbor Road, etc. Whilst important sections such as Eldon, Flat River, Belle Creek, Wood Islands, etc., should not be overlooked, a railway through Belfast to Murray Harbor should never be made to *‘ hug ” the shore. The heart ef the country, and espe- cially places now notably destitute of accommodation, should be tapped. Both Mr. H. C. MeDonald and the Hon George Forbes seem to be keenly looking after their own personal interests, and unless public opinion asserts its in- fluence, the benefits to be derived from the opening of railway communication to Belfast and Murray Harbor will be greatly lessened.

The people ought to take more interest in the survey and see to it that the route will not be left to be decided upon by selfish men or political partisans. Mr. McKenzie, who is the engineer in charge of the survey, appears to fully understand his business. Indeed the whole party are well spoken of, and if it were freed from the baneful influence of the local politician the route would without, doubt be more factory to the public.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Star: Fuany—ien’t it ?—that Tarte and Blair should go to Europe at the same time,

—‘Coming events cast their shadows before,” A few days ago whilst the railway surveying party was in the neighbouring of Gairloch—the only cow of a poor widow suddenly dropped dead on the tether. The cow had been bought bythe widows’ son only the week before,and thesudden death of the poor cow is unaccountable. Tne poet may have been right when he wrote that “coming events cast their shadows before.” Did the cow die a natural Geath or was her death a premenition of come fatal railway accident of the future? Being the widow’s only cow, the govern- ment should give the widow the benefit of the doubt and pay for the cow.

last surviving member of a family of thirteen, children of the late James McDonald, Sen. of Kingsboro, Lot 47. her eldest sister being the mother of the Hon. D. Gordeu of Georgetown. Of a gentle and retireing disposition, with a_ kind word for every one she met, her life passed quietly away, and when death came it tonnd her, asin days gone by, humbly

trusting in the merits of the Redeemer for a lite beyond the grave. The funeral services were conducted by the Ravds. idiram Wallace, E. A. McPhee and Deacon Alexander Scott. Her remains were tLuricd alongeide her husband—who died ver forty vears ago—in the Baptist

Cemetery at Kingsboro. “There the day-time and night-time are one, The seasons of blossom and snow, e Th

How many young men and women are cut off just as the future seems brightest and fullestof promise! They are taken away bythe disease which causes over one-sixth of the deaths in the world—the disease which doctors call consumpt on. There is absolutely no reason in the world why consumption should be fatal—why it should. be even serious. It is a disease of the blood and can be cured absolutely and always by purifying and enric! ing the blood. The only exception to this is the case where the disease has been neglected and improperly treated until it is stronger than the body—until the body has become so weak as to have lost the ability to recuperete. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will cure 98 per cent of all cases of consumption if used according to directions. It also cures all lingering coughs, bronchial! and throat affections.

Mr. George A. Stewart, ©. E., discovered the Banff park, laid it out, and superir- tended it until two days ago, when he was dismissed.

The place was wanted by Mr. Sifton for a livery stable man at Calgary.

The livery stable man is to do engineer- ing work.

Mr. Tarte appointed a retai] salesman to direct the eoustruction of a public building and Lord Aberdeeo’s butler has been sent to Scotland as an emigration agent, be- cause he wrote such nice politial poetry flattering Mr. Laurier during the election.
