OUR OYSTER AREAS.

Sia,— About two years ago, after prev- jous investigation before Messrs. Lord and Hackett, Mr. Kemp, the oyster expert, and Mr. Shaw, Fishery Guardian, made a earefal survey of the oyster beds at West River, reserving certain grounds for oysters, the largest proportion being left for mud-digging, which settled any dis- pute which might arise between fishermen and those digging mud. In the maiu channel between Rocky Point and West River Bridge, a mile between Crosby’s Point and Dickieson’s Point was left, and on Hyde’s and Wilsons flats on each side of channel in 1895, about 3,500 barrels of oysters were taken, or equal to £7,000 worth. The epat from the channel! was carried on these flats by cross currents andthe oysters were increasing from time to time. The past winter this channel was opened for mud digging, although ample grounds existed without, aod means the destruction of these beds, aod « valuable source of income to farmers and farmer’s sons who found it a ready means of making considerable sums of money. Another mile between Clyde River and West River Baidge was left; bat a digger was also puton this yaluable ground. Another mile above West River Bridge was reserved on the south side of channel including Lamont’s Cove from which three to ‘five barrels per day were fished last fall, and being the only

ground of importance above the West River Bridge. Mud diggers were placed on this bed and

a Jarge quantity of oysters were raised by them, of which they made a friendly dis- tribution, which leaves no room to ques- tion the proof of this being an ovater bed of value. What is most singular in this case is that the north side of the channel] to West River Bridge, and both sides of the chanael below to Hector McLean’s Creek, left in the survey for mud areas, and which have been dug forthe Iast thirty years more or less, and of no value whatever as an oyster ground, was closed azainet the people of New Haven, Colville Road and West River for mud purposes.

When it is borne into mind that 5,200 barrels of oysters were taken in West River and branches in 1895 or equal to $10,400, the importance of this source of iocome among the farmers of Lots 31, 32, aod 65 can be easily seen.

I now ask the Hon. Donald Farquhar- son, who it appears was the chief actor in this matter, to explain why valuable oyster grounds were opened to mud dig- ging tothe injury of parties engaged in oyster fishing? 2nd, Why were the mud grounds in the vicinity ot West River Bridge closed against the farmers of large sections of country which are useless as oyster grounds?

While it is quite possible that he may have obtained the promise of a vote or two for his valuable services, he will be forci- bly reminded on election day that the 150 or 200 farmers, mechanics aod others who have found the oyster beds in West River a ready source of income, will notonly be ableto change the representative of the Second District, but probably also of West Queens.

A PROPOSITION TO ‘“CUDGEL.”

Sir,—In looking over oneof the late numbers of Tue Examryer,! see “Cudgel,” 19 my miod regardless of truth or reason, trying to cause your readers to believe that I bad no authority for saying that the liquor traffic was quieter here than ever before. So, for the purpose of ending this unprofitable discussion, I now make him the following offer :—

Let “Cudgel” come to my home on Monday, the 3rd day of May, 1887, at 7 o'clock, p. m., and show me the proofs that the following insinuations he has made are correct: (1) that there have been quieter winters around here than the past; (2) that there were no indications of the liquor traffic here for ten years; (3) his reason for believing that the Conservatives are inthe minority inthis part of the country; (4) his proof for insinuating that the Tories supplied liquor to the voters at the second last local election ; (5) proof that the lime juice row was not caused by the liquor traffis here; (6) that the free for ail only lasted a short time; (7) how in any way “ Uncas’” letter injured the character of the dead ?

Now, “ Cudgel,” if you will show proof that you were correct on the stand you took on the above questions, notwith- standing my proofs to the contrary, | will over my own name acknowledge defeat. But if vou ere defeated I will expect vou to do likewise. Now, if there be any fair play in you, do this or forever after hold your peace.

SONS OF TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

By Grand Division Editor. G. W. P.—John Anderson, Kensington. G. Scribe—Jesse 8S. Burnes, Lower Free- town

OUR AIM,

To

rescue the drunkard and save the country from the rum curse.

OUR PLEDGE,

No member shall make, buy, sell or use as a beverage any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider, or even table beer.

OUR PRINCIPLES. Love, Purity and Fidelity.

This column is given for the use of the Grand Division once a month, and all! the subordinate Divisions will send post cards to Box 214, containing information of public meetings, elections, etc., and due notiee will be given.—

Bro. Carter writes from Beulah Division and we are glad to hear ‘tis in such a good condition. Papers have been ordered forthe coming campaign, and the pros pects are good forthe plebiscite. The official staff for the quarter is as follows :—

W. P.—-Edward Brookes. W. A.—Rebecca Mattis.

R. 8.—Samuel Currie.

F. 8.—A. Cain.

A. R. 8.—Florence Currie. Treas—J. B. Wilkinson. Chap.—James Easter. Cond.—Ell. Currie.

A. Cond.— Robert England. I. S.—Lillie Easter.

O. 8. |] Frank Beaton.

P. W. P.—J. C. Wilkinson.

We regret that something cannot be done to protect thie, among-t other Divi- sions, from the disorder inside and outside the building. Do act like gentlemen, young men, and let the Division do its work in a buriness way.

Since our last notes in this column, we have to chronicle the decease of the oldest and One of the most faithful members of our order, P. G. W. Patriarch, Brother J. W. Morrison. Without a break, we believe, he has been identified with the Sons of Temperance since its organization on P. E. Island in 1848. Nearly one-half a century in active membership, we shal find his place hard to fill, for he wasa brother who had so much of kindness ana charity in bis heart that he could com-

mand the respect of those, even, who might not accept his views always. The Grand Division took action

and appointed a committeee consisting of Brethren Chappell, Lawson and Kirby to prepare an obituary for the G. D. Journal, and thus the whole membership will have the privilege of seeing and reading it for themselves.

We are glad to have the following*report from the G. D. through the kindness of a brother in attendance:

GRAND DIVI8ION MEETING.

The quarterly session opened at Ken- sington on Friday merniog. April 16th, at ll o’clock. The Grand Officers present were:

G. W. P.—Johno Anderson.

G. Treas.—D. W. Henderson.

&. W. A.—A. 8. Wright.

G. Scribe—Jas. Carruthers.

G. Chap.—J. J. Chappell.

G. Sent.—W. Millman.

P G. W. P.—David Arbing.

There was a fair attendance of delegate:. A dozen or more representatives were ini- tiated. The reports of the G. W. P., G.38. aud G. T. were received and referred tu sppropriate committees. The report on the state of the order occupied a good por- tion of the time, some of the more iwport- ant clauses, especially those referring to the coming plebiscite and the coming Scott Act contest in Charlottetown, brought out some lively addresses. The clause refer- ring to the Queen’s Jubilee was adopted with a rising vote,the members singing the National Anthem.

A committee on obituary consisting of Revs. Chappell, Kirby and Lawson was appointed to take suitable action in the matter of the death of our late lamented brother J. W. Morrison, P. G. W. P.

A public meeting was held at night presided ever by the G. W. P. The large hall was simply over-crowded. Addresses

were given bv J. C. Clarke, J. J. Chap-'

pell, Jas. Carruthers, David Arbing. A. 8. Wright and Rev. Mr. Wightman. The addresses were interspersed with excellent music and recitations.

HAZELBROOK NOTES.

La Grippe has been prevalent here for some time past, butas the weather is be- coming warmer, those of its victims who have had a severe attack are recover- ing.

We regret to relate that Mr. Robert Jones is still an invalid. No noticeable change has yet taken place for the better, but we trust that by the aid of Divine help he may be able to enjoy the privilege of having health and strength restored to him again.

We are informed that Miss Eliza Jones ig aboutto depart from us for a season. Her loss will be deeply regretted by those who have had the pleasure of being acquainted with her, and as she has occupied the position of teacher and organist for the choir of the Baptist Church, which has been erected in this vicinity, she will also be greatly missed in that capacity.

The school is making excellent progress under the supervision of Miss Mabel Yeo.

The farmers are sendisg quite a supply of milk to the Hazelbrook separator, which is doing splendid work under the careful management of Mr. L. Jenkins, to whom much credit is due, for the faitbtul- ness of the work which he has performed during the winter months.

Mrs. Philip Wood who has been serious-

ly ill for some time past is now rapidly recovering under the skilful care of Dr. Dewar.

Tue Examiver is a welcome visitor here every week, Its fearles® and independent manner is respected by all.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL 23, 1897.

WHAT WOMEN WEaAn.

Trimmed skirts seem to be winning their way to favor, although plain ones are by no means out of fashion.

Among the novelties in veils are those of very great size, which cover the en- tire face and are drawn under the chin.

Colored handkerchiefs are coming into fashion. They are elaborately embroid- ered, and many of them are very expen- sive.

A dress of smooth faced cloth has rows of velvet ribbon placed around above the hem. These rows are their own width apart and cover the lower half of the skirt.

A snug little toque is made of yellow velvet looped and twisted over a frame. The trimming is a wreath.of yellow as- ters with black centers and a standing plumage of bird of paradise feathers.

Popular fancy runs more to trimmed skirts for evening and dressy wear, but less for the street, although a number of models are shown with row upon row of braid, ribbon or galloon, either plain or in points or fancy figures.

A tailor made costume has at least half of the skirt covered with row upon row of mohair braid about three-quar- ters of an inch wide. The waist is sim- ilarly trimmed, and the sleeves from wrists to elbows are almost covered with braid.

A new hat is turned down all around to scoop shape. The crown is rather bigh and narrow and is trimmed with bands of fancy velvet set round and round. Atone side of the crown isa large cluster of ostrich tips, the quills concealed ky a rosette of velvet.—New York Ledger.
