Communication with the Mainland.
l'vu the Editor of the Examiner.
Sin,— Having read in the Presbyterian, of the 5th instant, a short article, written over the signature of ‘‘ P.,” and dated from Stanley, New London, concerning the Winter Communication between the Island and the Mainland, im which the writer gives it as his opinion that the only means of fulfilling the Terms of Confederation would be by having a tunnel under the Straits; and, certainly, if the meaning of continuous communication by steamer means with the same regularity in winter as in summer, I feel very much inclined to agree with ‘‘P” ; for itis a certainty that it isa matter ef impossibility to run a steamer regulatly in winier as in summer. I might have added that the large amount of money now paid for the mail service, during the whole year, and every year in- creasing, would go a long way towards paying the interest of the amount required to make the tunnel, when plenty of money can be got at five per cent., oc perhaps less; and another item in favor of tunnel- ling is that the distance is much shorter = miles, as it is commonly called,

it being from Ca, /ctn head to the nearest
point of the Jourmain Islands, about bin wiles.
But in the meantime there can surely be! a great deal done to make the crossing at, present, a much more certain and regular) business. I am sure that the ‘‘ Northern | Light” is running on the best and safest route that can be found, as that track is! known by sea-faring people to keep open in| the early part of the winter long after the’ Straits are full of ice, and Pictou Island! situated as it it, is a great means of seatter- | ing the ice and making openings for the Steamer to pass through, if there could be any improvement, it would be from Murray Harbor, as it would sborten the distance considerably, but there is much in favor of Georgetown harbor.
The ‘‘Northern Light,” notwithstanding all that has been said against her, has done good work, considering that she is the first steamer that has been built for that service, and we may say she is only an experiment to try what can be done, and she has op an average taken from three to four months off the ice-boat’s work, and, I think, ran one winter through, ali to about five weeks. Certainly, if another steamer is built, she can be made to do better work by improving her model, knowing now by the ‘‘Northern Light” where she is deficient. 1 should say
a
she ought to be of much greater carrying
capacity, greater width of beam, and much lighter draft of water, say, varying from nine to twelve feet, according to cargo and trim, and the propellor should have four blades, and be of much less diameter, which would cause it to be not near se liable to injury by contact with the ice, and I think a much nicer bow could be made, not exactly an Aberdeen bow, but one that would enable her to walk right ahead through ice a foot thick.
And as regards the iceboat crossing up at the Capes there can surely be a great deal done to make it much more regular and efiicient. I would suggest to having two small strong built steamers, one for each side, and my reason for having the two, is that supposing the wind should be off this shore, say N, E., and continue for some days as it generally does, it will drive the ice on the other side, after making from three to five miles of water, and when blowing heavy with a rough sea on, it is impossible for any open boat to put out, and at other times this space will fill up with what they call lolly, which makes it utterly impossible for the boats te work ‘through, and this state of affairs often ‘continuous for several days at a time, com- |pletely putting a stop to the crossing. | Whereas the little steamer could be travel- jling through it without trouble, and the ‘boats could come out on the field-ice and meet her and exchange mails and passen- gers, and both return back to their own sides, and vice versa when the wind is ‘off the opposite shore. The other steamer ‘would be there to perform her work the same, and the boats go out on the ice to meet her and exchange mails, and both ‘return to their own sides. It will be seen | by this plan, that the steamer which would be on the Jee side would be always locked in her dock by the ice, and the one on the weather side would always have her dock in the board ice clear to come out and enter again, as she would only have clear water or lolly, and thin ice to encounter.
1 feel certain that if this plan for the winter mail service were properly carried out, there would be little or no cause left for growling, by passengers, or any other parties concerned,

Grit Tactics in King’s County.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—Sometime ago I noticed a lengthy effusion in the Patriot, signed ‘‘Fireside,” purporting to give a historical account of ‘Conservative Tactics in King’s County.”
As the writer has promised to give the readers of the Patriot a second and third volumn, I thought that it would be weil to call his attention to the desirability of his also giving an account of Liberal or Grit | Tactics, as in order to have the public attach
VOL, 12.—-NO. 135.
aid should not ask the geneiationg of the future to believe that the great Dominion election of 1882 was held on the 23rd of June, instead of the 20;h, a fact known by every school boy of the present age.
For fear that some ot the incidents and transactions of the tactics of the Liberal Party in King’s County shou!d have eseapr d the recollection of our historian, I will, with his permission, humbly beg to suggest that he should not fail te give us, in that Johnsonian style of which he is so great a master, a full and particular account of the good attention which the Liberals of Si. Peter's, at the meeting held there pre- vious to the Election, gave to the explana- tions of their late representatives; and also of the gentlemanly manner by which those of Souris intimated te Mr. Sterns, that their regard for him was so great that they would not allow him to over exert his vocal powers, if they could help it.
Another chapter that would be most in- teresting would be that describing the cam- paign of Captain McLean and his ‘ black ducks,” assisted by his indefatigable Lieu- tenants— Keefe and Whelan—in which they so ciliciently demonstrated the truth of the old saying: ‘* That custom is greater than law.” The vanity of human hopes might be well illustrated by an account of the poor man who came to Souris, the morning after the Election, thinking that because Dr. McIntyre was elected, that he would immediately be put in charge of the Light- house at that place, and a portrait of his disappointed looks, upon learring the way
ne nad been deceived, would be well worthy tne “sdanlt.® Hogarth or Cruik- shanks. a
7 oe > Wat Some account of the maniparyign Of the
Montague Reform Club by whic > ain Fadyen (who had borne the burden -”* heat of the day in 1878) was shelved to make way for Doctor Robertson, would be another illustration of the gratitude Liber- als have for men who szcrifice their time and money in their service; but who may be unfortunate enough to be unsuccessful, With the Liberals nothing succeeds like success, and now that the Doctor has also been unsuccessful he will, in all probability, be obliged to give way to some other stand- ard bearer of the party.
A description of the hopes of office that were held out and so confidently expected by many of the supporters of Dr's. Mc- Intyre and Robertson would be a warning to future electors not to trust the promises of the Opposition, but rather to believe in the adage, “*That a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ;” and will canse the reports of ‘what Ontario will do” to be re- ceived with a great deal of suspicion. I might allude to many more incidents of the tactics of the Liberal Party in King’s County, but think it needl«ss to do so, fer | have no doubt but that Fireside will, after reading these suggestions, do full justice to the subject.
If I can judge by the style in which he describes the tactics of the Conservative Party, he evidently considers it the duty of the historian to give a full account of every libel or rumor that can possibly be formu. lated about a party, and i will leave to him the task of handing down to posterity an account of those other tactics of the Liberal Party in King’s County, of which the evidence is on a par with that of the asser- tiors he makes respecting Conservative tactics. In conclusion | would particularly impress upon the ‘‘Fireside” the necessity of elliminat- ingfrom his mind all private or sectional feelings, and hope that he will net allow any remembrance of “‘what might have been,” had the N. P. been introduced sooner, or had his business career begun later, to bias that im- partial history to the pleasure of persuing which 1 and many others will anxiously look forward. I am yours truly,
Curmney CoRNER. King’s County, April 1883.

HOW AN ONTARIO GIRL MADE HERB
FORTUNE,
OWN
The Fargo, Dak., Argus gives a sketch of the business speculations of Miss Eliza- beth Lindsay, an Almonte, Ont., young lady, who made a fortune in Northwest land speculations. The young lady paid a visit to her relatives at Almonte this winter, returning ashort time ago to Fargo. The Argus says: ‘‘Miss Elizabeth Lindsay, of Fargo, Dakota, is worth over $100,000. Her father was a poor Canadian farmer, with a large family. She began earning a livlihood, as a school teacher, then tried book keeping, cnd subsequently undertook the millinery business, in which she saved money after seven years’ hard work, Then she visited Winnipeg and Fargo. While in the latter town sue invested $475 in two lots. Returning to Canada she sold out her stock and returned to Fargo n 1880, and bought sixteen acres for 6,400 which is now called the *‘Lindsay addition to Fargo.” Men laughed at her for the risk she ran. She diew out her plan of lots and employed Secretary Hunt’s eon as surveyor. After paying all expenses she cleared on the second investment $14,000 and in five years had $10,000 on the first investment. Last spring she bought at Grand Forks, Dakota, Which five years ago was only a Hudson's Bay trading post, 200 acres for $25,000. She has since sold less than one third of her purchase, and cleared all expenses for the whole tract of land. The rest is worth at least $75,000. Miss Lindeay is a young woman of medium stature, fine head, jet black hair, and a fine, clear, piercing eye,
