Jamieson. --ri-ut cnxanornrowu QUARDIAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER I6. 1909- Down to tive years ago the people of Prince Edward Island were paying u titty cent rate lor ten-word mes- sages, even to points in sight across the Straits. There was no night ser- vice. The telegraph omce in Char- lottetown closed at 8 o'clock in the evening and remained closed tor twelve hours oi the night. Press mea- sages were charged at proportionate- ly exorbitant rates with privarte mes- sages. Such were the conditions only tlsve years ago. For years previous The Guardian had conducted an agitation to secure for the people here the same iavorabh conditions and rates in telegraph ser- vice as the people of the mainland en- joy. Horace Haszard, M.P_, than took up the matter with Hon, Ml-_ Fielding Bhd brought about a new arrangement, under which the Anglb American Telegraph Company were to 1`@¢`9i"P for live years an additional Slfbsidy Of $5.000 a year and were to give an all-night service with the re. duced rates that have sin(-.3 been in vogue. What is of present consequence is that me Hgfeement referred to will expire next month, and unless it sh-all be in the meantime renewed or a new |agrcement made, the Province and its élleollle will be quite ~at the merc f The Right K ind 0i Watch Repairing , = No botch jobs leave , our store. \\'e can make your watch keep time.
