A steamer plying between Little Sands and Pictou twice a week, and touching at Pictou Island, would afford the people of that part of Prince Edward !s~ land interested in this route, an opportun- ity to sepd their produce toa remunerative easy and convenient manner, having to travel market in an instead of, as at present, over twenty five miles of bad roads before they can reach the first railway station. No doubt, Pictou would benefit in many ways from the establishment of a steamer on this route, and it is hoped that help will be given tothe inhabitants of one one of the most fertile sections of P.
