Winter Communication
Orrawa, May 26.
[ne House met at 3.30,
Mr. Perry (P. E. 1.) asked if it was the intention of the Government to cause a survey to be made of the Strait of North- uuberland, with the view of building a subway as promised by the first minister in his letter to Senator Howlan, dated 28, 1887.
SirJohn replied, ‘* It is not the inten- tion of the Government f cause a survey with the view oftbuildiog 4 subway,” ¥
Mr. Robertson, “(P. E> 1.) moved for papers respecting winter communication between the Island and the mainland. He urged that a new steamer be provided in place of the Northern Light. He advised the construction of a new vessel on ‘the plan of the Northern Light. $
Mr. MelIntyre supported the argument
Mr. Welsh regarded the tunnel. scheme as visionary. He complimented the Depart- ment upon the improvement in the service at the Capes. The Northern Light was in many respects a good model and had power, but was not heavy enough. He _ believed the Ministers were anxious to give good service.
Hon. G. E. Foster said the Government had received many conflicting opinions as
Jan.
to the proper kind of a ship. An ap- parently good authority had said that the proper vessel for the
purpose was a Newfoundland
sealer, and to test the matter, the Neptune was tried with unsatisfactory results. Ina few days he hoped to be able
to state to the House the conclusion to which the Government had come as regards a steamer far the future.

2 must thank our friends and the public generally for their ever increasing patronage
-y | W since we have commenced business.
Our Boot & Shoe Factory, in starting,had many difficulties to overcome, and we are
glad that to-day those difficulties have been surmounted, and we are now well able to com- pete with the best Boot and Shoe Factories abroad.
Some of the advantages purchasers have in buying from us are,saving of freight,ordering
goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without delay —which saves carrying a large stock which deteriorates on the shelves.
Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which
many factories have to pay.
We are more determined than ever to give the
BaST OF SATISFACTION
and to merit the whole of the Island's patronage.
We hope to see many new industries arise, thereby increasing the prosperity of the “Gem of the Sea.”
