Sul.-'-Al one of the citizens of Sum- mersldeflntsreahd in its .welfare, I am compound to protest against the continu- ed ignoring of our reasonable claims, made iugood ‘faith front time to time, upon the several departments of the gov- ernment at 0ttswa;anf\ in making this protest, 1 do not take tbdground that the head of each of these dilerent depart- ments is solely responsible tor defects and overslghts in carrying out the de- tails connected with work belonging to liisdspnrtment, as changes ofthe gov- ernmental parties are often followed by retaining in omoe many of the deputies and other stef! ofiicers of former admin- istratior»s,and who might be more desirous to see their friends reinstalled, than that the dutlssof the dcpartment should be administered in the most satisfactory manner. The retaining of these officers always follows when ministers are chang- ed, owing to trrublaa within the Cabinet. Some of these claims have been partially responded to, but in a way that indicates either a want of good intention, or gross carelessness in the carryingout of the work.
First,-We have the sudden withdrawal

Well-Known Stockxrower Used Dodd’l Kidney Pills and Gives tba Result.
Boannaal, Our, May 2.- (Special)-
Robert O. Lampman, the wall-known Gainsbero farmer and stock-grower, has ‘given the following statement for Publiu- ation:
“ For twenty years I suffered from
Lumbago with all its worst symptoms. I had the mos: distressing pains it seemed possible to bear. At times I was entirely prostrated and was for weeks unable to ,do anything whatever and had ta be helped to dress and to move from a chair to the sofa.
"I tried doctors and medicines but get
no benefit till I commenced to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Six boxes cured me com- pletely." n Lumbairo like Rheumatlsm is caused by uric acid in the blood. Healthy Kidnsya take all the uric acid out of the blood. Do:id’s Kidney Pills make healthy Kldneys.

known as an attempt to give us a much needed breakwater. As the durability of work is indicated by its weakest part, a visit to the work now by an independ- ent observsr will reveal the fact that some of ihe‘ sand stone used has com- pletely crumbled away.
Third,--Repairs to Linht House and
foundation. .In reference to this matter. I should say that such a dilapitated struo~ ture, for alight house, is not to be found
' at any place in the Dominion, where the
imports and exports are `compa\-atively so urge. Fourth,--The repudiation by Capt.
Finlayson last summer, (when the Minis- ter of Marine and Fisheries was on board)oftbe depth of water in our har- bor, as given by Commander Tooker in the lat/r st Chart of Summerside harbor, which indicates n depth as great as that which prevails on the bar at Plctou.
Fifth,-The lack of proper interest be-
ing taken by the Manager of tba P. E. Island Railroad, in regard to providing empty cars, when needed for certain work here. We know of much dissatisfaction and loss to our merchants and farmers in Prince County this winter, because hun- dreds of cars wanted could not be obtain- ed to move fire wood into Summerside, and mussel mud out of Summerslde,when it was notorious that emrty cars remain- ed for weeks at stations and sidings, West and East, snowed up. 'l`he ener- getic application of labor an the proper time would have released thase cars, ac- commodated the farmers, and added in the revenue ofthe road. Then in rt gard to winter express accommodation, we know that packages are received at, and sent from Charlottetown, while ue are cut off from this advantage, having to forward our Hoods to, or receive them at, Charlottetown. Summerside should have the same right from the P. E. Island Railway as Charlottetown has in this re- gard, as well as in regard to a special for winter foreign mails. Perhaps someone may be surprised to learn that out of the 28 days this winter Sumrnerside was without a foreign mall via .the steamers, 18 of these 28 Says, we woulri_ have re- ceived these 18 mails, had a speclifl been used in the interests of Sumrnerside and other parts of Prince County. Even holding up the regular train for an hour upon two occasions was all that was necessary to give us a foreign mail on those two days. During the other ten days of the 28th, we received foreign malls via the Capes, but why should any of these Cape mails be hustied oil' to Char lottctuwn, assorted and brought back to us the following day? Or why were so many outward trips, by four boats and 48 men, necessary, simply to take over only the Summerslde letter mails, with no proper connection at Cape Tormentlne' or Sackvtlle to expedite these mails l These four boats and ~iS1nen returned many times without mails or passengers. Why such a proceeding was in operation, can- not be conceived, unless it was to amuse these hard working men. It certainly would not occur if proper thought was given to the interests of Prince County.
Sixth,-The Summersidc Railway stat-
ion and yard accommodation here are such as would be condemned as inadequate by any fair minded man. The dangerous character of this restricted area has impressed itself noon us by the occur- rence of more than one serious accident.
Seventh,-The winter mall service, so
for as it has been carried out this winter, by the two steamers, aided hy the efll- clent ice-boat service, has been fairly suc- cessful, owlng to the unprecedented `energy and rivalry on the part. of both 'masters, with equally fleet and strong stcamers, and upon the roulc declared by both of them to the Depnrtrncnt at Ottawa as the only possible satisfactory winter route, a conclusion endorsed, not only by the capable engineers, but by every em- ployee on board. The rcgulat on of other seasons “to never leave port after 12 c'olock noon" was laid aside, “ready atnll hours, to do or die” was substituted, and it is this kind of energy which tells in every vocation, and could not foil in getting the best re- sultafor the eastern route. Nevertheless 25 days this winter, including last Satur- day, the 28rd inat., Prince County did not get a_foreIgn mail, neither did It large part ofQueens County, by this eastern rout.e.! It failed to do this three days since the 18th Inst., and when the last failure occurred (28r:l), the route was sup- *-_ _ »

thewlnfar boats by carrying freight. A record has been made for Charlottetown
Therelsno one acquainted with the lee conditions on the western route this winter but knows that only one of the steamers upon this route with the
psthy in this route, on the part of master, crew, agent and Deputy Minister, and aided fora short time by the ice-boat service, would have given more daily deliveries of foreign mails to Sumuxsrnlde, all of Prince County, and a llrks part. of Queens, than has been dons by the eastern rou'e up to date of this writing; and during the last 3Odays the Stanley could have made semi-daily tri ps in daylight, and had eight hours for handling freight. No auch expaditioi is possible by any other route. The eastern route was favored this winter, as north easterly winds did not prevail, and the western rou e was favored by an early closing without the usual gale and snow- storm. The border ice remained all winter, and although a larger area of ice, it was not heavily rnftei ice at Sea Cow Head. as usual other winters. The many snow falls of this winter also tended to prevent our having so much thick border loc: What we need for toe wc stern route isa proper test made by those only who are in favor of the route, and encouraged, if possible, by the agent, as well as the Deputy Minister of the Marine Depart- ment, snd his agent at Charlottetown. lt was difficult to understand what Mr. Stumbles, the visiting representative of the department in liI)3, meant, when he asked how long did we want the Stanley held up to convince us_of “the impracti- cablllty ofthe route,” but more difficult
heroic conduct during the winter of 1903 ~ “From a careful study of the events con nected with last wlnter's efforts to keep up communication between Summerside and the Mainland, I am satisfied that the difficulties were unsurmountahle, and that Capt.. Brown was not responsible for the Iccbound condition in which the Stanley was placed, but showed diligence and caution in the discharge of bis duties and snifered much hardship from his csaselesseflorts to free the Stanley dur- ing the two months the vessel was drift,- ing back and forth in the Strait."
These words sound strangely when ap-
plied toa master, who did u0'. s*e that he had at lrasi, three months' provisions on board his steamer, before commencing this service, and who, when interviewsi by our Port Warden two days after being stuck in the ice (1903,) said that he would not spend a dollar to release her, “she was hound to be held up till March." Three days later he was carried down ills Straits, and when oil' Hampton, discharg- ed half his crew, ' and the pilot, and claimed that provisions were short,‘and' then actually took on board two or more sleigh loads of provisions from Charlotte- town. What effort was made for a month after this to release the vessel? In the winter of 1902 the Stanley was brought
