TiiE UMM POINT.

]\cW ... _

We are glad to have the assurance from- In a way ll- ll ll\~|l|l¢\¢l7 tl Bve this Mr. Hughes, M. P. that the Minister of 3"” Vmbiem ‘i'u‘°"h'| "°h'u° ¢"‘°°'

Mnrins will endeavor to procure a third

and more powvrlol winter steamer for the island service. We ought to have hed

it now, but let. that peas. It is also true,

as Mr. lluzhes points out, that there was

ii time when we had the Stanley alone. There- win it i earlier time when wa did riL~t even h,i\e the Stanley iind when our winter rtsauicr service was wholly de-

pendent on the Northern Light. ‘ The third steamer was asked tor by the

people of this Province in every way that they could express themselves with emphasis und ui-gi ncy-by resolution ol our Boards of Trade and by the Maritime

Board; by the people of the entire Prov- ince represented by delegates in Prov- incial Convention; by a strong delegation sent by thiit body to Ottawa; by the resolution unanimously adopted by the I’i~ovinclalLegislature and by a delega- tion sent to Ottawa by the Provincial Government, all risking lor the construc- tion of the Tunnel, with ii third and more

powerful winter steamer to bridge over the interval till the Tunnel can be built.

This is the main point, the culminating

point of all our grievances. We must have adequate communication with the idalnland in winter. We have in summer some tlftecn steamera and a whois ilaet of sail craft engaged in the lsisiid cany-

lng trade, two of the steamers making round trips daily. In winter this is cut down to two steamers of limited carrying

capacity, together making at the best one round trip daily between them, and this service oltnn irregular and interrupt-

ed, sometimes for two months at a time.

ii thousand miles a day in summer to six hundred niileao day in winter. serious

ind regrettable as that ls, is but a trifle

compared with the cutting down 0( our water aervine tc one tenth part or loss than that of the service we have in sum- mer.

True, the curtallmenl of train service

ri ids to our winter navigation grievance. But the main point is and must beto hunt the shackles which bind our traflic with the other Provinces and thc outside worlrl. It is gratifying to find this mat- ter still kept to the from in and out ol Parliament, in public meetings and in

the press. The Guardian has long en- deavored and will so continue, to keep this matter to the front, lt is noteworthy that in the recent meeting ln the Market

Hall, although called for another purpose, our winter transportation trouble form_ ed the subject very largely Of the mos' tlrorightful and weighty address: s.

We pause fur a moment to ask “where

are we at" in this winter transportation matter? We have the thlr.l winter

.\re extended to our many

friends who so kindly patro- nized us during the past year, and we solicit e continuance, with one of the beet lines of Drugs anti Drug Sundries to lv had in this Province. pi" .\il orders and prescriptions promptly fillen.

steamer again practically promised us. We nave Hon. Mr. Emmerson speaking out in Parliament in favor of the Capes route. We have the proposition first mootcrl in these columns of placlng:the summer rind winter steam service under one management , either hy the Govern. ment or byii subsidised company. We have Mr, \Varh\irton`i public acceptance oi this principle, with his preference given ‘n a seivice by ti subsidised com-

tlon,and tu have new ll\ivl“l@ltl solu- tion presented.0ut nf them ill some one plan will probably be MENU that will improve upon present conditions very materially. We will notdespalr or the future. Our own belief llflrlily fixed on the Tunnel as the only ultimate and ad- equate remedy. and that we must have the Tunnel. In the meantime we wel- come the proepett of the third steamer, and the equipment of the Capes Route, and the car ferry, t/oo. Any ol these would be an auxiliary of value if put into successful operation, to bridge over the time till the one solid and enduring remedy can be provided. Continuous. daily communication, wlritt-r and sum- mer, beyond the chance of intcnupticn

ssell’s “Cyco” Bearing’ Carpet Sweeper---The World’sBeSt A

Present the Lady at home with one of Bissell: “Cyan” Bearing Carpet Svaeepers as a holiday

gift.-Perfect and sanitary sweeping impossible without: t doesn't merely go over the carpets liketlie old fashioned broom but it cleans, brightens and preserves them. It does its work quickly, noiaelessly and thoroughly, no drudgery, no beckaclies, no dtiit, no wearlness. In fact it makes carpet sweeping a pleasure and relieves women of one of the hardest tasks she has to perform. It can be run by anyone who can walk. Don’t cling to disadvantagu like the old corn broom with its attendant discomforts, hard labor and expense (one sweeper will outlast 50 brooms.) The taking up and putting down of heavy carpets and rugs, the dust choked wife, worn out housemaid and the added terrors of honaecleaning they belong

to the past. This is the age of Bissell’s.
