The CltgtrlottctownoGuardian has issued a hand-
sotttely illustr:tted magazine section containing inter-
esting :tml valuable tuaterial collected for a supplement
wlticlt the tittardian had planned to send out in
connection with the proposed celebration of the
jubilee of Confederation, arrangements for-which
were :tb:ntdoned on :tccottnt of tlte war. As the
publicity m:tttcr in h:tnd was so complete it was
thought a pity' to allow it to go to waste, so tlte idea
was conceived of presenting it in the form of a souv-
enir number. It includes cuts of leading men of tlte
Island, :tnd good views of cities and other poittts of
interest in the Province. Instructive references are
nt:tde to the Silver Fox industry which is so closely
associated with Island foresight attd energy. The fact
is ntentionetl th:tt Prince Iitlward Island, though the
stnallest l’rovince in Canada, has the distittetion of

Prince' Edward Island enjoys the unique distinc-
tion of being the scene of the first “Confederation
conference,” wvhile at the same time being the last of
the old British colonies to enter Confederation. It
was 50 years ago l:tst year that the Charlottetotvn con-
ference was held, out of which Confederation event-
ually came. Charlottetown ntadc elaborate prepara-
tions for tlte celcltrzttion of tlte eventful jubilee last
Septetnber, but tltc wat' caused its abandonment. The
Cltarlottetotvtt (iuartlian, however, 'has issued a sou-
vcttir edition directing :tttctttion to the life attd
resources of tlte Island Province, to commemorate the
anniversary. 'I`he souvenir is printed in magazine
fornt, on coated paper and is profusely illustrated.
'l'ltere are timely articles on tlte Silver Fox Industry,
the fislterics, agriculture, etc. 'I`hc tn:tnaging editor,
l\l'r. j. lt. liurnett, in an interesting fo_re_word, draws
:tn inviting picture of the happy dontesttctty of life on
l't'incc l~`.dw:trd Island. “No less than 85 per cent.
ot' the popttl:ttion,” ltc tells us, “is engaged in agr_icul-
ture and nearly every farmer owns Ins own fartn.
l’t'ince l",tlw:tt'tl Island is the only province in Can:tda
wlticlt produces enough to feed its own people :tml
ctittscqttetttly the cost of living is much less than the
average for the rest of tlte Dominion.” _

TORONTO MAIL AND EMPIRE.
The souvenir edition of the Charlottetown Guar-
dian rleserves mention' in this relation. It is a
surprisingly full, convcnicttt and attractive volume of
facts about Prince I'idward Island, "'I`he tiarden

tors might have lingercd longer on the gifts of
nature with which tlte I“rovince is blessed.
'l`lte salubritv of its climate :tml tlte peculiar spell of
tlte spirit of its scenery cottld have been dwelt on tnorc
than they have been. About the resources of tlte
province :tml its men of :tctiott :tml of affairs the sou-
venir edition of tlte tiuardian gives all the information
tltat cottld be desired. \\'hen tlte project of issuing
this edition was first talten up, it was intended to tnake
it a t`ottfetlt-r:ttiott jubilee number to appear last Sep-
tember. 'l`h:tt was :t happy thought, for Charlotte-
