Believes “Phantom” In Strait Was Mirage.

A “story” of the appearance and disappearance of a “phantom ship" in Northumberland Strait Wednes- day night was discussed, explained and termed “fictl0n" as it contin- ued its round of Prince Edward Is- land residents yesterday.

At Canoe Cove, s. score of resi- dents saw the "phantom ship," epparentl at u standstill. from du=k untl l0 p. m. when it silo- ped. soundleasl , into the de hs of the Strait. e woman re“! ent said she saw the “shlp" but she saw nothirq unusual about it. She hadn't seen it disennear. Lest night reporters, satisfied, called on Mr. James Tay- lor, llghthoure keeper at St. Pet- er's Island but now wintering in Charlottetown. Mr. Taylor wasn't too excited over the yam of a “phantom ship."

He had seen something similar on several crsslons and investi- gation revealed that apparent‘)! it had been only a mirage. that is. urrnoptical illusion due to atmcse pheric conditions.

The chief worry in the industry here is the fear-of lower tariff on fillets. The present duty is 2 1-2 cents per pound, and Canadians are said to went it reduced to 1 1-4 cents. About 80 per cent oi the fish marketed here is in fillet form.

The spolresm for‘ the Iish 1n- dustry was asked whether business wasn't good enough iccaily to allow a tariff reduction.

"A tariff reduction on fillels would cripple the fishing industry in New England." he replied. "In 1937. we produced six per cent less than in 1096. end even at that we got 12 per cent less money."

Premier Tables Letter On Question 0f Land C 0 m p e n - sation.

In the Legislature yesterday Premier Campbell. “craving the indulgence of the House,” referred to an open letter to the members, appearing in the press over the name of Mrs. Katherine C.Wyand, one of the property owners in the National Park area at Cavendish. Mrs. Wyand stated she had been “threatened” and "cajoled", that possibilities of favour had been dangled before her to agree to s. settlement. but she “declined to be a scullery-maid in any Govern- ment sponsored kitchen,’ or to step aside to permit favorites to c/btain the benefit of her property and business.

This letter, the Premier said, appeared to be a reply to one he written to lilrs. Wyarld on March 1B last, as follows:

“Dear Madam:

"In regard to the question of compensation for lands expropri- sted for the National Park, I may sa_-y that I spent considerable time on the problems of your case dur- fng my recent visit to Ottawa. I sot in touch with Senator Sinclair and the late Peter Sinclair. who were very much interested in the matter, and the three of us went together to the offices of the Parks Branch, where we had a long in- terview with various ofliclais, in- cluding Mr. Roy A. Gibson, Dlrec- . tor of Lands, Parks and Forests.

“We diseased ‘very fully the" feasibility of granting to you some concession for cottages or other establishment within the park area. It seemed obvious that it would be impossible to grant any cottage concessions in the locality where your lflliidings have been located. but the intention appears to be to locate the cottages in the vicinity of the Hammond-MacNeill resi- dence. This concession would pro- bably be s. fairly ellpensfve under- tekin-s. as all cottages and equip- ment would requlre to be provided on a standard in accordance with the Parks Branch specifications.

""I‘he other principal concession in that locality will probably be the right to operate a store and tea-room. 'I"hIs would probably be situated in the vlcini of your former site. and it is es imated by all concerned to be a very valu- able concession indeed. The mew- gary buildings and equipment would

Unless Prince Edward Island farmers and dealers put up s more uniform grade that could be de- pended on. it would be useless to lopk to either of these markets an- other yenr for an outlet for Prince Edward Island turnips, Mr. Clarke said. Turnlps that Ontario wee putting on these markets were de- scribed as "beautiful."
