ment was contributing $50,000 towards
the expenses, Ontanlo $25,000; Que-
hec, Bri-fish Columbia and Manitoba
$15,000 each; and the other provinces
$5000. If Prince Edward Island desir-

governnlent must extend the invitation
and provide $2,000 for the general

the province would obtain from the
advertisement such n visit would give

representatives of the Emlpire Press
Union were the principal editors anti

fel correspondence and otherwise of
bringing to the notice of the British
public the resources and capabilities
of the different provinces of Canada
to supply the British market. As ag-
nicltlture was our principal industry
here and as an endeavor was being
made to establish direct steamer com-
munication between Charloi-tetown and
Liverpool, it appeared to hlnl that the
present opportunity was one which
should be taken advantage of to ad-
