THE WAY TO THE ISLAND
I am sure that a communication ad-
drt-sscd to Mr. I. A. Mathieson,
Charlottetown,  E. I., will return
you statistical information on thc
resources of the island.
Prince Edward Island, situated in
the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is about
130 miles in length by 35 miles in
breadth.
intending visitors can take the
railway to Point. du Chene- and pro-
ceed by 'the S. S. Empress to Sum-
merside-an_ .exceedingly pleasant
sail of 2%. hours' duration on com-
pa.ra_ti\'ely smooth water. On land-
ing at Summerside the tourist finds
the trains of the Prince Edward
Island Railway awaiting himon the

through those beautiful lands of
Evangeline immortalized by Long-

in time to take the S. S. Northum-

longer, invigorating sea trip is pre-
ferred the tourist can go on board
one of the superb steamships ofthe
Plant Line in Boston, which boats
are most luxuriantly maintained, and
after calling at Halifax, Canso and
Mulgrave, arrive at Charlottetown.
A SUMMARY OF OPPORTUNI-
TIES AFFORDED
There is no part of the globe
where conditions are closer to per-
fcction for the enjoyment of an ideal
life. Your home life, your business
and above all your health can be
promoted in this VVonderland along
safe, sane and happy lines.
There has been dwelt upon in
previous chapters _the report on the
fox industry, compiled by the gov-
"'_' , V .”"- ».’»‘ ' 5 `rc:nly. This report has been com-
i
l
'through at perfect knowledge of the
ernment publicity agent, Mr. Mc-
pilcd from actual statistics, gained
industry and the conditions on the
Island. Above all, it was compiled
with an idea of absolutely treating
fairly the prospective purchase of
stock. In the report he tclls of the
opportunity for success and points
out in clear and concise language
the chances of failure. This report
is from at disinterested fox expert.
This gentleman is fairly and ably

BAYS, INLETS AND RIVERS
The Island is su dotted with
bays, inlets and rivers and the :Oil
so absolutely free of mineral that it'
afiords the ideal home of the oyster.
Here is an industry that one can make
the foundation of an income for life.
'All it needs is the effort and a little
money. The terms of the leasehold
of acreage are extremely moderate, as
heretofore stated, so that with the
proper care and equipment it wotild
mean only a matter of about three
years when your income Would be
assured. '1`he labor is _not arduous;
in fact, she harvesting of the oyster
is done principally through__the fall
months of the year. At that titne
the climate is at its best. The
beauty of the topography of this
place makes it a pleasure to work
