THE WAY TO THE ISLAND

I am sure that a communication ad-

drt-sscd to Mr. I. A. Mathieson,

Charlottetown, E. I., will return you statistical information on thc resources of the island.

Prince Edward Island, situated in

the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is about 130 miles in length by 35 miles in breadth.

intending visitors can take the

railway to Point. du Chene- and pro- ceed by 'the S. S. Empress to Sum- merside-an_ .exceedingly pleasant sail of 2%. hours' duration on com- pa.ra_ti\'ely smooth water. On land- ing at Summerside the tourist finds the trains of the Prince Edward

Island Railway awaiting himon the

through those beautiful lands of Evangeline immortalized by Long-

fellow, and finally reaching Picton in time to take the S. S. Northum- berland to Charlottetown. If a

longer, invigorating sea trip is pre- ferred the tourist can go on board one of the superb steamships ofthe Plant Line in Boston, which boats are most luxuriantly maintained, and after calling at Halifax, Canso and Mulgrave, arrive at Charlottetown.

A SUMMARY OF OPPORTUNI- TIES AFFORDED

There is no part of the globe

where conditions are closer to per- fcction for the enjoyment of an ideal life. Your home life, your business and above all your health can be promoted in this VVonderland along safe, sane and happy lines.

There has been dwelt upon in

previous chapters _the report on the fox industry, compiled by the gov-

"'_' , V .”"- ».’»‘ ' 5 `rc:nly. This report has been com-

i l

'through at perfect knowledge of the

ernment publicity agent, Mr. Mc-

pilcd from actual statistics, gained

industry and the conditions on the

Island. Above all, it was compiled

with an idea of absolutely treating fairly the prospective purchase of stock. In the report he tclls of the

opportunity for success and points

out in clear and concise language the chances of failure. This report is from at disinterested fox expert.

air of the early morn, and catch the

Or it may be that you have been

the ozone of the Gulf air.

PUREST DRINKING WATER IN WORLD

BAYS, INLETS AND RIVERS The Island is su dotted with

bays, inlets and rivers and the :Oil so absolutely free of mineral that it' afiords the ideal home of the oyster. Here is an industry that one can make the foundation of an income for life. 'All it needs is the effort and a little money. The terms of the leasehold of acreage are extremely moderate, as heretofore stated, so that with the proper care and equipment it wotild mean only a matter of about three

years when your income Would be

assured. '1`he labor is _not arduous; in fact, she harvesting of the oyster is done principally through__the fall months of the year. At that titne the climate is at its best. The

place makes it a pleasure to work
