There are plenty of fairly

good cigars. They can be had anywhere if you know what to ask for, but there is occasionally a brand of such unusual merit that everybody is pleased and passes the word on to other smokers. One o. these un- usual brands is the

BADEN POWELL

which is made especially for us. If you haven’t yet tried them, you are one of the few who havn’t yet caught on to the best thing going. Better get in line at once.

__ such companies and to operate the same.

What is not so generally known is that

between the year 1880 and the preient time the Government of Canada has con-

structed and operated a larga number,

I mostly of short lines of telegraph and-calr Squash. . . _ _

les for public purposes in places which tie

These land lines are widely distributed over the Dominion, while the cables -in

nect. islands with the mainland. The Gav-

ernment. land telegraph lines uiakea total of 5,433 miles in length and the cables 27l miles. Of the land lines 14 miles are in

__ Newfoundland, 317 miles in Nova. Scotia. 34 miles in New Brunswick, 1512i miles in Quebec, 25 miles in Ontario, 693 miles *_ in the Northwest, 2,263 miles in British Col- umbia ani 639 m`1es in the Yukon.

Ot the 24 Dominion cables six are in

Nova Scotia, with a. lengzh of 23 m_i1°s; live are in New Brunswick, with a. length of 11 miles; ll are in Quebec with a leuizth of 186 miles, .and two in Ontario with a

length of 17 miles. A number of these cables are aslong as or lcrger thau that connecting this Island with the mainland.

T They ranizo in leazth from one quarter of

a mils up to 5:1 miles each. the latter

being thelength of the cable connecting Meat Ccv‘, Cape Breton to the Magdalen ; Islands. There are 143 miles of Govern-

various othzr islands and points on thc' mainland. It may be incidentally men- tioned tt at the Government also main

_tains and operates 223 miles of land lines on the island of Anticcsii and 83 miles of land lines on the Magdalen Islands,a. total Q of 3l)6 mill s of land lines and 143 miles of

l cable, to serve a population 'only about _ equal to one fiftieth part as great as the ` population of Prince i .dward Island.
