PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND MATTERS _ c AT BOARD OF TRADE MEETIN

At the meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade Wednesday morning the foi. lowing resolution was introduced by Mr. J. LeRc~y Holman, Summerside, und seconded by Mr. N. Rattenbury, Charlottetown.

"Whereas railroad transportation

would be greatly expedited if the railroad was standardize throughout; “Therefre resolved that this Bodi- resoeciivlly request the Minister or Railways to complete as early as pos. sible the standardization of the re. maining sections of the island Rall-

way; -

“Resolved that a copy of this re.

solution be sent to the Minister of RHIIWF-Vs and also to the chairman of the 'Railway Board supplemented by a statement showing many of the great advantages and savings gained

biy the completion of this standardiza- ton.” 'Mr. Holman in moving his resolu-

tion referred to the efforts that at- tended the -movement to have the car- ferry placed on the preesnt route, of the poor accommodations that exist ed at Borden for some time in the way of shed accommodations. Mr.

By keeping dil- igently on they at last got the Minis- ter of Railways and others to visit the Island and the work started. Mr. Holman sketched brleiiy the hard- ships of theisland people previous t the securing of the car ferry an said the boat gave splendid satisfac- tion throughout the whole season. In his experience he had not found that the politicians were at all aux- ious to help out any delegation an the burden all rested on the effort of the delegates themselves.

BANFF, Sept 18.-A picturesque

escort greeted the Prince of Wnles when he reached Banff at 10 o'clock this morning. The Stony Indians formed up to conduct His Royal High ness to the park where the Park Com mission presented the formal address of welcome. Then the Stonys enter- tained their young chieftain with a typieal Indian fete. The formal dignity of their initial greeting gave place to special dances and songs quaint cere- monies of their race. The Prince of Wales was made a chief of the Stony Indians with pomp and circumstance. The Prince has added a .wonderful head dress to his regalia. and one more royal prerogative has been added to his name. `
