Senator Prowse at Murray Harbor, in King’s County, has been transferred to his two sons, Messrs. Albert and Wm. H Prowse, under the firm name of Prowse &! . 1 + * : t Sons, This firm is one of the most enter- prising in King’s County, having a lobster factory at Guernsey Cove and another at Indian Island, both ef which are fitted out in the best style, and, during the fishing season, give employment toa large number of men, boys and girls. Prowse & Sons have also a large potato starch factory at Murray Harbor South where thousands of bushels of potatoes are annually marketed by the farmers at fairly good prices; considering that the crop‘is sold as it comes from the field, without any extra labor for sorting and handling in and out of cellars. The starch factory with its fittings cost about $10,000 and is complete in all its arrangements. The manufactured starch is shipped by schooners to Charlotte- town, from whence it is distributed to the cotton factories and other places where it is in demand. : Prowse & Sons have also a large general store and warehouse at South River Bridge in which they carry a heavy supply of all the goods‘required by their custom- ers, The shop part is handsomely finished _and is heated. by hot water, it being one of ‘the first to have this heating system in King’s County. | .The firm are also about building a fac- ,tory at Murry Harbor for canning mutton, -and will give a market for any quantity of sheep and lambs in that part of the Island, something that heretofore was much ; wanted. If we had more enterprising firms like Prowse & Sons; who would. take the products of the farmers and turn them ‘into manufactured articles, there would be less reason to fear the hostile legislation of ithe United States. ; -In Nova Scotiaa firm has commenced evaporating potatoes, sweet corn, and all kinds of roots and vegetables ; and its goods are now commanding ready sale in London, England. The'goods put up by the Canning Company have proved so sat- isfactory that they have a contract to sup- ply them to the British Navy. | They have also a special line of goods put _up in small-sized cans, that is meeting with great favor in the English market. These cans contain all the vegetables necessary for making a first-class pot of soup, and are very handy to have in the house. Why ‘cannot a similar enterprise be started in Prince Edward Island, where roots and vegetables can be obtained so cheaply 2 Sener aenry sere cree amen Fort Augustus Notes. | , The farmers here are busy at their autumn farmwork—potato-digging, plough- ing and threshing. ; | - The potatoes are an abundant crop, and should they not be seriously effected by the ‘rot; the prospects for an excellent yield were never better. : : A good deal of early ploughing has been | dene, which will enable those .who have ‘shipping to do to haul their produce when 'a'favorable opportunity presents itself. The oats and wheat threshed seem: of good quality, and the turnips I have seen a good sample, | At a fair range of prices, a few schooners could be quickly loaded.at Hagarty’s Wharf with potatoes, oats and turnips. The Local Government have lately put this wharf in thorough repair. Messrs. P. Curley and J. & A. Hann. were the con- tractors, and Mr. 8. O’Hare inspector of the work; and they have just completed one of the most satisfactory and substantial public contracts that has been done in this part of the country for years. The best of penaterial was used, and every part of the ; work was done in a speedy, workmanlike manner ; and now that the undertaking has ‘been completed, it is pleasing for all inter- vested.to know that there is a good wharf at ; Hagarty’s, one of the best shipping places on Hast River. | TRADER. | Fort Augustus, Oct. 13, 1890. ~ te oe (From the New York Herald, Oct. 5.) Honors are Cheap in Paris. FOR TEN DOLLARS THE ‘‘INVENTORS’ ACADEMY” WILL MAKE YOU A MEMBER. Mr. Park Benjamin, of No. 32 Park place, is in possession of a document which proves that the swindlers of Paris are alive to Am- erican methods, especially those of the green goods and bogus diploma men. It is in the shape of a letter purporting to come from the **Parisian Inventors’ Academy,”. and came addressed to one of Mr. Benjamin’s clients, who is himself an inventor. Its English has a peculiarly French flavor, and its orthography speaks for itself. Here it is :-— Gentlemen,—We beg to inform you that after the examination of your last invention the Academy has conferred you the title of Corresponding Honorary Member (Membro D’Honneur Correspondant) with attribution of a Diploma and the great Gilded Medal. This honorific title will be of no expences for you, only if you would be desirous to re- ceive the Medal and Diploma, yeu would have to send us @ money order or check of ten dol- lars, to cover admission, taxes, freight, etc., and we shall send, both well packed and free of charge at your address. (Please indicate the nearest Railway Station.) Trusting that this present will be favorably received, we are at your disposition in inven- tion and Patent matter, according» to the Status of the Academy, and we remain gen- tlemen, your obedient servant, A. Pirra, General Secretary. The office of the ‘‘ Academy” is at No. 15 Faubourg Montmartre, Paris, and those who deal with it are informed that ‘letters and money orders are to be addressed at Monsieur E. Boettcher, Engeneur Civil, at the Aca- demy.” | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, Echoes from the Exhibitions. Sirn,—The season for Exhibitions has come and gone. That they attracted un- usual interest this year is’ an’ undisputed ‘| fact, and the success attending the efforts of the managing association, especially. of the Provincial and King’s County Asaocia- tions, has been duly chronicled in the press. , We should now think over the lessons that are to be learned from these Exhibitions. They cost an immense amount of time and money, and unless’ good practical benefit can de obtained from them, the glorification that we feel in having good exhibits will be poor pay for the expense. One lesson that should be learned by all, and put into practice also, is that the suc- cessful prize winners are men who make a specialty of the classes they compete in. Let every farmer make a specialty of some particular thing; for only by doing so will he find that his efforts will be fully reward- ed. Of course, I do not mean that the far- mer should neglect everything for one object or one specialty ; but while attend- ing generally to all kinds of work, let there be one breed or cereal or vegetable or pro- ductiop.of some kind that will receive the best éare. In this way a higher standard of excellence will be reached, and the great object of Exhibitions—the raising of the quality of the productions of the country— will be attained. Although I am disposed togive the manag- ing associations of our Exhibitions due credit for the care they took and the forethought’ they displayed in providing for the instruc- tion, amusement and comfort of those who patronized them ; yet in one respect there is reason for great complaint. Whose was the fault, it is not for me to say. ‘Perhaps nobody was to blame. But it certainly was the case that the dining rooms and provi- sions provided were not as they should have been, either at Georgetown or Char- lottetown, : Strangers attending our exhibition are very apt to carry away. poor impressions of our capabilities as a food producing coun- try, if they judged by the quality supplied to the general public at the Exhibition grounds. -It is said that the way to a man’s - heart is through his stomach ; and if that. be 80, no one who trusted to what he got to eat. at the Exhibition grounds: will have any. great love for the managing committee. » It is lamentable to think that ina great» > beef and mutton producing. province. like , P. E. Island claims.to be, that the bill of fare for dinner should be only corned beef and cold ham. What will the people from:.’ other | places: say ‘who had this recherche menu (7) put before them ? ogee And then again the attendance was miserable. Instead of having order and "| cleanliness, the opposite was prevalent: Of course it may be said that the rush. is..too great—that it . was. impossible to provide for the great number who patronized the. . tables. But this should have been provid- ed for on the second day ‘at Charlottetown at any rate;and'on ‘the third day-there was. . «- no excuse for .not haying ample provision.» ; for any number. Every.one knew thatthe town was full of people,-and that no one who wished to go out to'the Exhibition ‘in — the morning wanted to go’ back to. ‘town .to get his dinner. The very poor accommoda- tion provided at the dining rooms certainly looked like an attempt to get a grab at the people’s money without giving value for it. Would it not be a good idea for the'three Exhibition Associations to give a joint purse of say $50 to the best managed dining rooms at the Exhibitions for 1891, which would be awarded by the decision of im- partial judges to be named by each Associa- tion. There is also another grievance that should be remedied by the managers of the Provincial Exhibition. Season tickets were issued good for four days, but only one admission each day. was allowed. Now, many persons wanted to visit the grounds both morning and afternoon, who would not be able to stay in town. four days. If these tickets had been ‘good for four admissions at any time, they _ would have given more satisfaction, and the as- sociation would have made just as much money. People would’ buy these season tickets more freely if they had been granted in that way.. The merchants of Charlotte- town complain that the Exhibition kept the people away from the city all day, and it was a fact. Farmers who wanted to see the stock had to go out to the grounds. in the morning and could not return again .in the afternoon, if they wished to go into the city to do some shopping between twelve and two, without again paying 50 cents. This kept many away from. the shops in town. Hoping that . these remarks'may cause amendment another year, I am yours truly, OBSERVER. Oct. 6, 1890. : A’ Suicide’s Anxiety. . John ‘Bowden, a Cockney, who commit- ted suicide in London on Thursday last had one anxiety on his mind at the time he died. He was afraid-the coffln would not be of that superior quality that his position entitled him to. So much did it worry him that he went to the undertaker’s and dropped the following letter into the letter box :— : GENTLEMEN,—I write this for you to come to 86 Abbey Street to make me a good, strong polished elm coffin with brass nails. I have sent you the key of the front door to avoid taking my body to the mortuary. My nephew will furnish you with papers and pay all ex: penses. Make the box as soon as you can. Yours, Joun BowDeEn. Then he hurried home, and when the un- dertaker and the police came they found John hanging to a nail behind the door, as dead as the projection to which he was ap¢ pended. ’ ‘K. D. C.
