ST. JOHN TELEGRAPH.
The Charlottetown Guardian has issued a hand-
soniely illustrated magazine section containing inter- esting and valuable material collected for a supplement which the Guardian had planned to send out in connection with the proposed celebration of the jubilee of Confederation, arrangements for which were abandoned on account of the war. As the ptiblicity matter in hand was so complete it was thought a pity to allow it to go to waste, so the idea was conceived of presenting it in the form of a souv- enir number. lt includes cuts of leading men of the Island, and good views of cities and other points of interest in the Province. Instructive references are made to the Silver Fox industry which is so closely
associated with Island foresight and energyi The fa_pt is mentioned that l"rince Iidward Island, tiougi t e smallest Province in Canada, has the distinction of being the most prosperous, and particular reference is made to the 1sland’s health and tourist resorts. Alto- gether thc special number is highly creditable to the tiuardian_ and to l‘rincc Iidward Island.-St. _Iohn

In a review the Guardian Souvenir Edition, the
Acadian Recorder, Halifax, says :-
“'l`he Charlottetown ‘Guardian’ from the beginning
has taken high rank as a newspaper and has always stood abreast; of the times. The moral tone is exem- plary, the editorials are excellent and its uews_depart- ment is up-to-clate. \\'e have before us a special issue of this paper, which, in regard to _both matter and ' typography, leaves nothing to_ be_desired. lhe Island, its geography, its resources. its industries, its govern- ment, its leading nicn and its business establishinents, are all dealt with in a clear, concise. well arranged and most readable inaiincr, and as \ve finish the perusal the exclamation forces itself to our lips: tireat is the little Island, beautiful are its fields, and wonderfi'.l are its possibilities! _ _
Our chief actiuaintaiice with I‘rince l'.d\vard

The Charlottetown Guardian has issued a souvenir
edition, handsomely illustrated, on fine toned paper. 'I`lie souvenir was intended to celebrate the Confedera- tion Jubilee, but the war broke out, and upset all plans. Our contemporary claims that Prince Edward Islatid was the Cradle of Confederation, the First conference being held in Charlottetown, which led to the consoli- dation of Canada. In view of the excellence of the souvenir, we will not dispute the claim of P. E. I.
Prince Edward Island enjoys the unique distinc-
tion of being the scene of the_ first “Confederation conference,” while at the same time being the last of the old British colonies to enter Confederation. It was 50 years ago last year that the Charlottetown con- ference was held, out of which Confederation event- uallv came. Charlottetown made elaborate prepara- tions for the celebratioirof the eventful Jubilee last
