LONG THE LINE. Growth Out West.
‘‘ Younc man, go West.” It will do you good to see what’s been done there during the last few years; and if you're out of work, mayhap you'll find a cheap spot of earth on which to settle down and geta living. Thanks to the Liberal-Conservative Party, you may take the train at nine o’clock—just after you have eaten a com- fortable breakfast; and, thanks to the Grits (who are gathering when they have not strawn), you will travel at such a snail’s pace that you can have ample time to study the gevlogy, botany and topography of the country as you steam along. Remembering that the Railway only five years ago, located, for the most part, through the swamps and barrens and uncultivated parts of the Island, the state of advancement evident is wonderful—and the more wonderful the further you go from the Provincial metrupolis. Cieared fields, newly built houses and barns, new shops new warehouses, new roads meet and please the eye on every hand. As you pass the breezy ups and downs of North Wiltshire, you involuntarily exclaim, ‘‘ What a fine country and what ra
was,
a thrifty people”! Their fields are {not encumbered with ugly white weeds such ¢s cover the land in the vicinity of Charlottetown ; and their home- steads are surely centres of well-directed rural industry. At
HUNTER RIVER STATION, Mr. John S. Bagnall’s hospitable boarding- house forms the nucleus of a thriving com- munity, of which Messrs. Alexander Mc- Millan, Peter McGrath (store-keepers), T. S. McLeod (tailor), and John McDonald (carriage-builder) are the chief members. Hunter River Station is the railway outlet of New Glasgow and Rustico settlements, and it is here that passengers, during sum- mer, ‘‘ take coach for the Seaside Hotel.”
BRADALBANE
has sprung into existence since the railway was built. Among its present inhabitants are Messrs. Matheson & Co., Mr. M. Matheson and Mr. McLure, merchants and traders. Each has made headway against the stream of hard times. Mr. John Mc- Leod (shoemaker) keeps several hands em- ployed. Mr. Norman Nicholson ‘ runs” a large tailoring establishment. Mr. J. R. McCoubrey employs a lot of hands at the saddling business. Mr. Hector McDonald keepsa boarding house and livery stable. Mr. Donald Graham is the carriage builder of the town, and Mr. Donald Stewart does an excellent business in the blacksmithing line. Three saw mills in the vicinity have capital water power. That of Mr. Charles Murray is a central and convenient site for a factory; and we hope soon to hear of the establishment of a starch or sugar making Company, to manufacture starch from the potato or sugar from the beet, and thus afford a home market for home produce, and an inventive to ome industry and ability. Bradalbane has sold fifty thousand bushels of oats this fall, eight thousand bushels of potatoes and a large quantity of beef, pork, etc.—all carried away to market by means of the invaluable railway. Be- fore leaving we must not forget to note that an unwilling Government was forced, by means of the rapidly increasing business of of the place, to give Bradalbane an enlarged station house, and the advantage of a com- petent and obliging station master.
COUNTY LINE STATION.
Five years have transformed County !.:: Station from a bare field into quite a :i. lage. Mr. J. W. Hughes is the chief man uf the place. He has a wellassorted stock, and vigorously carrics on a general busi-
ness. The Dairy Examiner has a special
But Mrs. Barrett is gone; and the times she knew will be known no more forever. Instead of emerging from the high old ‘coach or boxed up sleigh to straighten his ‘ cramped limbs in the lee of Glover's shed, the traveller now sits at his ease in a cushioned railway car and looks out upon a small forest of stores and dwellings. Of the old inhabitants, Messrs. Thomas Suns and Wm. Glover still remain. Messrs. ©. W. Bentley and Reuben Tuplin have re- moved from Margate, and in new stores and warehouses are carrying on a large business with the people of Malpeque and New Lon- don. There are several other stores and a fine hotel, called the ‘‘ Eureka House,” kept by Mr. Grady, formerly of Summerside. The station house has recently been en- larged, to meet the constantly increasing demands of the public for more railway ac- commodation.

Backing Down.
Tue Patriot of the 14th inst. is made to ‘‘ eat the leek ” for publishing an article in his previous issue headed ‘“‘ A Real Griev- ance,” in which he adverts to mismanage- ment in the Railway Department. And because we dare to notice the fact that our contemporary ‘‘ woke up” to the public in- convenience caused by this mismanage- ment, he takes us to task in his usual way. To show that we have not misrepresented our contemporary nor his ‘‘ efficient public servant” Mr. William McKechnie, we now give our readers the full text of the Pat- riot’s article headed ‘‘ A Real Grievance,”
as follows :-- ‘6s REAL GRIEVANCE.
‘The time of the arrival and departure of tke eastern trains is exceedingly inconvenient to those who have business to do in the city. The train from Georgetown and Souris is due in Charlottetown at 12.40, and the train going to those places leaves the City Station at 2.55. Our readers can see at a glance that the east- ern train arrives here at the very worst time in the day for doing business. 1t will be one o’clock, or dinner hour, before the passenger who arrives by that train can get up town. Most of the business men and public officials aie then at dinner or lunch, and cannot be seen until two o’clock. Our friend from the wast has then only forty minutes to do his business in, and, if he cannot be attended to promply, or if it takes longer than that to transact, he must, at considerable expense, stay in town over night. The gentleman who complained to us about this inconvenience and hardship is not given to grumbling. We saw at once the reasonableness of his complaint. The hour and a quarter, including dinner hour, is too short an interval between the ar- rival ard the departure of the only train for the eastern parts of the Island. We think that the inconvenience need only be pointed out to Mr. McKechnie to be remedied. We weretoldof a Georgetown man who, owing to the train arrangements, was obliged to lose three days in order that he might be able to attend a business meeting in Charlottetown that commenced before twelve o'clock and was not concluded until after three. We see that the train does not leave Georgetown until after nine o’clock in the morning, and that the Souris train starts at eight. What is to hin- der them starting a couple of hours earlier ?”
The Moncton ‘‘ Times” comments :—-
‘Mr. McKechnie, the P. E. Island Rail- way manager, has not only proved himself a violent partisan, as evinced by his course strongly marked at various times and by his continually toting around after the Grit Ministerial party during their recent visit to the Island in the interest of ‘‘ the lost cause,” but he has proved himself to be grossly incompetent in his railway manage- ment. So hard has he been pressed by the Examiner and the other Conservative jour- nals, and so dissatisfied have the public be- come with his management, that even that Grit monstrosity, the ‘‘ Patriot” has been compelled to admit a *‘ real grievance” to the public. The ‘‘ Patriot” characteristic ally thinks ‘‘ that the inconvenience” (com- plained of and admitted) ‘‘need only be pointed out to Mr. McKechnie to be rem- edied.” But the Examiner complained of the grievance at the time the error was committed, and why did not Mr. McKech- nio ‘‘ remedy” it at that time, and further why should a “remedy” need to be applied to an arrangement for running the trains on such a short line of railway as is the Island Railway,—or to be more clear,should acompetent_man not be able to frame a passenger time table in such a way thet no such inconvenience as the one complained of would ensue ?
