In Cliarlottetown and otheri municipalities throtigliotit the province considerable] interests was inaiiifestcd in this scheme when first announced, and the iict'essar_v legislation was enact-' ed by the Arsenault govcriiineiit at its last session, but, doubtless owiiig to the scarcity oi labor and the high Cost of inatcrial, no iletiiiitesteps have yet been taken to cari'_\' the project into cllcct. There is now, lio\ve\'er, a geiieiutl deinaiid, par-I ticularlv in Chzirlottetown, that advantage be taken of the assistance proffered. There is a scarcity of desirable nioderii residences of medium cost--'and many citizens now living iii rented houses are desir- ous of owniiia' their own residences. The liottsing scheme, _as prepared by the federal governiiicnt is l>riei`ly as iollo\\'s:-- , CUIlRENl£0.lIMll.‘I l` The handling of the school teach or difficulty in this province might well be proposed to continental centres as an illustration of the t-li'-sctlveness and advantages of the Ulii-ist-like methods over those a- dapted by silly agltators or bom- bastic bullies. A -general strike was first suggested. Like as in \\`iiinipeg, Boston und other places people coniuieucetl to set their face against the principle ol hold up itndiforce. School boards arrang- ed to accept resignations and refill vacancies, while many were will- ing to close the schools for ti per- clotl rather than accept coercion Then sane iiielhods were resorted to, I‘u~blic opliiloii was appealed to with as strong a case ,for justice as was ever presented to a jury, and the people, always disposed to iairiiess when properly approach- i-tl, gave ;i verdict clieeri`ully in their favor, and so unanimous, as tu make it irresistable.

Sonic coiisolation however, for even the hardestl _worked among us may be found in the fact that few countries in the world are as free from serious diffi-' culties as this Island is. While practically all over the world. tluriiiir the past winter and the early days of Spring, tornadoes, storms, snow blockades, earth-| quakes and even famine have been recorded, Prince Edward Island smiled under almost continuous sun-5 ny skies, with abuiidaiice of food for man and beast.; and with a larger surplus for export and at higherl prices than ever before. The lot of the Prince Ed-I ward Island farnier, compared with that in otherl countries, compared even with that of Prince Ed-,P ward Islanders who have gone to our own Canadian West, is it happy and a secure one. _ Talking of difliculties eiicounteicd and over conic| however there is one farm of 65 acres being success-| fully worked under difficulties ' to which all other farming difiiculties must yield the palm. A descrip- tion of this farm and its operations is given in a re- cent nuniber of the Literary Digest and its simple meaning is that there are no unsurinountable dif-‘ This 65 acre farm is situated in Death Valley, east of the American Rockies.

It is situated 178 feet below sea level on the floor of the greatest depression in the western lit-iiiisphere, within pistol shot of, and only about one liuiidred feet higher, than the greatest repth of Death Valley, which is the very bottom of the United States.
