.WINNIPEG TELEGRAM.

Prince Iitlward Island enjoys the unique distinc-

tion of being the scene of the first “Confederation cotifereitcc," 'vhile at the same time being the last of the old British colonies to enter Confederation. It was so years ago last year that the Charlottetown con- fereiice was held, out of which Confederation event- uallv came. ' Charlottetown made elaborate prepara- tions for the celebration of the eventful Jubilee last Septenibcr, but the war caused its abandonment. The (.`liarlotteto\vn Guartliaii, however, has issued a .sou- venir edition directing attention to the life and resources of the Island Province, to coninieniorate the anniversary. The souvenir is printed in_ magazine forni, on coated paper and is profusely illustrated. There are timely articles on the Silver Foie Industry, the tislieries, agriculture. etc. The managing editor, Mr. l. lt. Burnett, in an interesting foreword, draws an itfvitiiig picture of the liappy tloiiiesticity of life on 1‘i'inee litlward Island. “No lt-.ss than 85_ per cent. of the population," he tells us, "is engaged in agricul- ture and nearly every farmer owns his own farm. 1‘riticc l~`.dwartl Island is the only province in Canada \\-hich produces enough to feed its own people and coitseqticiitly the cost of living is much less than the average for thc rest of the Dominion.”

TORONTO MAIL AND EMPIRE.

The souvenir edition of the Charlottetown Guar-

tliaii deserves itieiitioti in this relation. It is a surprisiiigly ftill, convenient and attractive volunie of facts about Prince lidward Island, “The ljardeii of the titilf." Its compilers and its illustra- tors niiglit have lingered longer on the gifts of iiatiii'c with which the Proviiict: is blessed. The saluhrity of its climate and the peculiar spell of the spirit of its scenery could have been dwelt on more tliait they have been. About the resources of the province and its nien of action and of atiairs the_sou- veiiir edition of the (iuardian givesall the iiiforniatioii that cotiltl he tlesirctl. \\fheii the project of issuing this edition was first taketi tip, it was intended to make it a Coiifetleratioii _lubilee nuinbcr to appear last Sep- teitiber. That was a happy thought, for Charlotte- town, where the conference of British North Aiiiericaii statcsiiieii was lieltl in 1864, is well entitled to he call- etl “The Cradle of Confederation.” 'l`he war, however, put the celeltrittittii of the jubilee out ofthe questioii, aiitl the sotiveiiir ctlitioii was delayed until this nionth. \"ery interestiiig is the iiiforiiiation given about the Silver l-`ox Industry of which l’riiicc Edward Island is the cradle.
