TiiE UMM POINT.
]\cW ... _
We are glad to have the assurance from- In a way ll- ll ll\~|l|l¢\¢l7 tl Bve this
Mr. Hughes, M. P. that the Minister of 3"” Vmbiem ‘i'u‘°"h'| "°h'u° ¢"‘°°'
Mnrins will endeavor to procure a third
and more powvrlol winter steamer for
the island service. We ought to have hed
it now, but let. that peas. It is also true,
as Mr. lluzhes points out, that there was
ii time when we had the Stanley alone.
There- win it i earlier time when wa did
riL~t even h,i\e the Stanley iind when our
winter rtsauicr service was wholly de-
pendent on the Northern Light. ‘
The third steamer was asked tor by the
people of this Province in every way that
they could express themselves with
emphasis und ui-gi ncy-by resolution ol
our Boards of Trade and by the Maritime
Board; by the people of the entire Prov-
ince represented by delegates in Prov-
incial Convention; by a strong delegation
sent by thiit body to Ottawa; by the
resolution unanimously adopted by the
I’i~ovinclalLegislature and by a delega-
tion sent to Ottawa by the Provincial
Government, all risking lor the construc-
tion of the Tunnel, with ii third and more
powerful winter steamer to bridge over
the interval till the Tunnel can be built.
This is the main point, the culminating
point of all our grievances. We must
have adequate communication with the
idalnland in winter. We have in summer
some tlftecn steamera and a whois ilaet
of sail craft engaged in the lsisiid cany-
lng trade, two of the steamers making
round trips daily. In winter this is cut
down to two steamers of limited carrying
capacity, together making at the best
one round trip daily between them, and
this service oltnn irregular and interrupt-
ed, sometimes for two months at a time.
ii thousand miles a day in summer to six
hundred niileao day in winter. serious
ind regrettable as that ls, is but a trifle
compared with the cutting down 0( our
water aervine tc one tenth part or loss
than that of the service we have in sum-
mer.
True, the curtallmenl of train service
ri ids to our winter navigation grievance.
But the main point is and must beto hunt
the shackles which bind our traflic with
the other Provinces and thc outside
worlrl. It is gratifying to find this mat-
ter still kept to the from in and out ol
Parliament, in public meetings and in
the press. The Guardian has long en-
deavored and will so continue, to keep
this matter to the front, lt is noteworthy
that in the recent meeting ln the Market
Hall, although called for another purpose,
our winter transportation trouble form_
ed the subject very largely Of the mos'
tlrorightful and weighty address: s.
We pause fur a moment to ask “where
are we at" in this winter transportation
matter? We have the thlr.l winter
.\re extended to our many
friends who so kindly patro-
nized us during the past year,
and we solicit e continuance,
with one of the beet lines of
Drugs anti Drug Sundries to
lv had in this Province.

We nave Hon. Mr. Emmerson speaking
out in Parliament in favor of the Capes
route. We have the proposition first
mootcrl in these columns of placlng:the
summer rind winter steam service under
one management , either hy the Govern.
ment or byii subsidised company. We
have Mr, \Varh\irton`i public acceptance
oi this principle, with his preference
given ‘n a seivice by ti subsidised com-
tlon,and tu have new ll\ivl“l@ltl solu-
tion presented.0ut nf them ill some one
plan will probably be MENU that will
improve upon present conditions very
materially. We will notdespalr or the
future. Our own belief llflrlily fixed on
the Tunnel as the only ultimate and ad-
equate remedy. and that we must have
the Tunnel. In the meantime we wel-
come the proepett of the third steamer,
and the equipment of the Capes Route,
and the car ferry, t/oo. Any ol these
would be an auxiliary of value if put into
successful operation, to bridge over the
time till the one solid and enduring
remedy can be provided. Continuous.
daily communication, wlritt-r and sum-
mer, beyond the chance of intcnupticn
main thing to be sought for and worked
for until It ia obtained.
The winter steenirr service has been
more troubled with fog than with los, of
inte. Fog is a rather infrequent visitor
in these vm. ers, but this season is except-
ional ln vsrio
Those who have faith in Rev, Irl Hicks
as a weather prophet may be interested to
learn that he predicts live stonn periods
for the ilrst month of the New year. The

declaration that he had never left the

on one point only, and had never been in,
sympathy with the Opposition. He also
stated that if ollcred the Liberal candida-

ssell’s “Cyco” Bearing’ Carpet
Sweeper---The World’sBeSt   A
Present the Lady at home with one of Bissell: “Cyan” Bearing Carpet Svaeepers as a holiday
gift.-Perfect and sanitary sweeping impossible without: t doesn't merely go over the carpets liketlie
old fashioned broom but it cleans, brightens and preserves them. It does its work quickly, noiaelessly and
thoroughly, no drudgery, no beckaclies, no dtiit, no wearlness. In fact it makes carpet sweeping a pleasure
and relieves women of one of the hardest tasks she has to perform. It can be run by anyone who can
walk. Don’t cling to disadvantagu like the old corn broom with its attendant discomforts, hard labor
and expense (one sweeper will outlast 50 brooms.) The taking up and putting down of heavy carpets
and rugs, the dust choked wife, worn out housemaid and the added terrors of honaecleaning they belong
to the past. This is the age of Bissell’s.
