‘namely that the Prosecutor refuses or
,neglects to take action on informs-
tion furnished him by residents of

We are well aware of the tact that
information may be furnished tne
Prosecutor which he may not consid-
,er sufficient to act upon; that the
‘information may be too vague for
legal proceedings. We are not un-
rnindlul of the fact that there are two*
sides to every story. We have for
several months been receiving, by'
personal interviews, by letters, pri-
vate and for publication, one side of
the story. That side told of persist-
ent, uninterrupted, shamelessly open
violation of the Prohibition Act. We.

HAZARDOUS TRIP.
Sir:-I have just read in your ps-
per that you had received an issue of
the Islander newspaper published hy
the late John Inge inthe year 1852
giving an account of many events
which |1811 718-KB!! Place at the time of
its date-60 years ago. Perhaps one
thing of most interest to the present
generation is to learn that the mails
_were only carried across the Straits
in winter time once a week from
Cape Traverse to Cape Tormentine
and only on very rare occasions did
the boats cross at Other times. That
being the case passengers had to be
very punctual on time at the starting
of the boats at either side to pre-
vent delay oi a week in crossing. In
this connection quite a unique and
noteworthy event came under my ob-
servation. In the month of February,
1852, I was' at Cape Tormentine and
the boat with mails left one day at- 2
mm. and when about a mile or so
'rom land fi man arrivedto take pas-
sage and was much disappointed in`
finding that the boat had started for
the Island shore. I-Ie gazed at it in
the distance with a wistful eye, as it
was fast disappearing. and hesitated
a few minutes before putting foot on`\
':oard ice, when suddenly be -wrenched
a stake from the fence and started in
the direction of the boat which he
could not hope to overtake. I with
others watched him until he had dis-
appeared in the mists of the evening
and were surprised to learn by 'the
next boat coming to Tormentine that
he had crossed safely, independent of
the boats, which feat had never been
accomplished up to that time, and I
think only once since then. This man
was familinrly known as Rustico
Tameron, whom some of the old peo-
izle of the Island may remember.

IN MEMORIAM.
There passed away at her home at
oyster Bea Bridge on Dec. stu, 1912,
Mary, the beloved wife of Jonas Dou-
cett, at the age, o-i sixty~three years.
Through the stress of 3 long and use-
ful life, her chief delight was in the
law of the Lord. She leaves to
mourn 5 loving husband, three sons
and four daughters:--Andrew, Moses
and Bruneo of Oyster Bed Bridge;
Mrs. H. Sampson and Mrs. M. Myr-
tell of Georgetown, P. E. I., and Mrs.
Adrian Gallant and Mrs. Robert Ford
of Oyster Bed Bridge. She also
leaves four sisters and two brothers.
The sisters are Mrs. Peters, Mrs. D.
Gallant, Mrs. S. Gallant and Miss
LnDelle Gallant of Rustico; The
brothers are Angus Gallant and B.
Gallant. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. Father Mc-
Caullay. The remains were laid in
their last resting ‘place in the Rusti-
co C"m°"°“`Y. The pall-bearers were'-
A. Gallant, D. Gallant, J. Gallant,
Robert Ford, H. Sampson and M.
Myrtell. Mrs. Doucett was ‘beloved by
all who knew her and much sympathy
is felt for the bereaved family.'
Throughout all pain at times she'd
smile
A smlle of Heavenly birth.
And when the angels called her horns
She smiled farewell to Earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the loving casket keeps
And the aunbeams long to linger
Where our salntcd sister sleeps.

THE "WELI.¢COME"
PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPOSURE
RECORD AND DIARY 1913.
To boil ‘down into one handy pocket
volume the accumulated photographic
wisdom of the year and of preceding
years is a work of signal utility and
one which should win the gratitude of
all photographers. Such a task has
been accomplished in the 1913 Edition
of the "Wellcome" Photographic Ex-
posure Record which is just publish-
ed. Among its most. novel features
are the descriptions of new methods
of toning prints green and blue, by
the use of "Tabloid" Toners, which
act selectively, leaving the high
