Mr. Kemp has collated and included 10

his valuable paper extracts from the re~ ports of the late Hon. W. H. Pope, the late Mr. Juhu Hunter-Duvar, and Edward Hackett, kK q.,showing that the rivers and Island forthe cultivation

streams of this are admirably

adapted of oysters. Judge Pope saw no reason why hundreds of thousands of acres of oyster beds should not be formed ip \heee bays whicb would produce vast quantities of oyeters, in quality mach euperior to the oysiers of Virgiwimn, aud the statements of Meesrs Duvar and Heckett Lear cut bis ertimae, A comission of fishery inspectors, in 887,

Mr. Kemp describes the methods of oyster culiure resorted to On the coaets of Great Britain, France and otber paris of Europe, as well as im ibe United States ; and he pois out the more imporient differences betwecn cur Canadiap oyeter aod the Kuropr au species, as follows :

The q 1antity of the oyster catch of P.E. Island last year is stated at 20,915 barrels valued at $83,650,as against 30,214 barrels in 1897, vained at $120,856, and 25,493 barrels in 1896, valued at $101,851. Last year’s catch was considerably below the average of the catches of former yeare. It is evidently important that our oyster beds should be preserved apd. improved—

Mr. Kemp says that | dredging in moderation would not harm | these beds, bat would improve, cleanse and extend them if a limited time were given to dredge them to fishermen who choose to catch oysiers by that method. Oyster beds that have been previously dredged upon, in this locality, are now covered with small oysters, The most

noticeable are the sand, or long bed, and the Townsend, or 40-acre patch. Both these beds are now covered with small oysters, too small for market, and several fishermen etate that dredging isthe cause of the spat settling there, as the shells have been raked over and cleansed.

Tue Montreal Star anil Sir Louis Davics are engaged in a disput; and the Star has | meade this fair cffer :

“The Star challenges Sir Louis Davies to leave it to two distinguished persons capable of deciding, which of the two is deceiving the public in'the matter, Sir Louis Davies or the Star. We re;eat that the Star’s statement was bona fiue, 8#nc- tioned, by those in the Marine Department who sheuld know, and that the Star was acting in perfect good faith in giving it to the public as the Minister’s viewe.

“ft it is ehown that the Star is wrong, it will pay all the expences of the invewtiga

tion, and in addition it will forward to, Sir Louis Daviee anaccepted cheque for two hundred dollara, to te divided amonget the poorof Sir Louis Davies’ con | ttituency, Queen's County,P.E. 1. Asit | ia at present, the readers of the Star wall | certainly doubt the Minister’s statement in

the House. Itis only fairthat be should

have au Opportunity to prove bis position,

and, if the Star is wrong, Sir

Louis Devies wll have the great pleasure of contributingthe two buadred

dollars to the poor of his constitzency, or

to any other public charity, except Sir Louis’ campaign fund.”

We hope that this offer will be accepted. Although we bave enjoyed the advantages of our Liberal Government for close upon three years there are still a few persons in West Queen’s [who may, perbaps, be des-
