RAILWAY EXTENSION AND HILLSBOROUGH BRIDGE.
Hansarp, for May Ist, to band this
morning, contains ap extended report of Mr. Martin’s speech conceruing the Bel- fast and Murray Harbor Railway aod the Hillsborough Bridge in connection there
with. Those who mey read the repor, will see that Mr. Martin the matter and presented arzumenots that

In
ecarcily ot
upon the coast, this coanection he
said :
“A large part of the Province is devarred at present from even taking any ad vantage of the communication which the *S anley” at presentiaftords. The Dominion of Can ada may boast, and think that it is doing @ great des] for us in providing & new steam~ er toreplacethe “Stanley.” Butt have this remark to make, and [ wish the mem- bers of the Government to give some at- tention to it, that during the time that steamer is performing service in Prince Edward Island inthe wioter season, (he traffic ie eo great that the boat is self sus taining, Or more thuo self-sustaining. So that so far as the boat is of service to the province of Prince Edward I-laod, tha province is paying you a quid pro quo, and is not any burden on tue Domiaion of Canada.
“| may say that thie line is proposed to extend between Southport, opposite Charlottetown, and Murray Harbor, and I am going to make this assertios iv regard to the ports between these two points, that there is not one well<equipped harbor be- tween Charlottetown aod Murray Harbor South the proposed terminus of this road. I am eure that the Minister of Marine and Fisheries will bear me out io every word
I say. Take these barbors seriatim from Murray Harbour South to Charlottetown, and [ doubt if there
is one well-equipped harbour oa that coast. jake the firat one at Murray River. It is naturally # good harbour, but it needs dredging. Private enterprise had to step in end provide the accommodation at Murray River, which the Dominicn Goverument have time and again refused to provide, and you still refuse to dredge it. Take the next harbour, that of Wood Island. The late Government, to be sure, spent a good deal of monev there, but the harbour is practically of little service. As it is, it either wants a little dredging or else atill
selfin many eyes, aod in the eyes of the people of that province. and of the whole of Canada, if it reduces the rate on the | Priace Edward Islaod Railway to a fair and equitable basis as compared with the | Intercolonial Railway. I referred to the starting point of this road as being at Southport, and I may sav that it will pass through someofthe richest parts of the province. Starting at Soathpori it passes in the vicinity of Keppock, Alexandria, Pownal, V lage Green, Miilview, C xerry Valley, Mouot Herbert, Donagh, Joboson’s River, Aubarn, Fort Augustus, Pisquid, Fairview avd Avondaie. Turning to the south, it goes through or not far from
the flourishing sections of Vernon River, Orwell, Alberrv Plains, Uizg. Kivross,
Dundee, Fairville, Lyndale, Vallevfield, Grandview, N-wton, Belfast, Montague, Surrev, Garlaich Middleioo, Melvilie, Flat River, Caledenia. Lt meeay here, and I hope the Minister ot Marine (air Louis Davies) wi'l give me his artention at this particular point, there 18 a verv large interior section of the coantry herr, which, perbaps, it is raiher difficult. to place in communication with railways, for there would no doubt be a good deal of trouble in getting a jine 60 as to accommodate a large por- tion of thie section, unless great care were taken to select a proper route. I may say that the proposal of the late Government to build a spur at seme point of the vew line by the way of Montague Bridge was a good one,and unless that is done, the beneficial results which will arise from the building of this road will to some extent not be fulfilled. Ido hope, although the road bas been surveyed, that the Minister of Railways will seriously consider this and that the Government will consider the desirability of the short spur I have meao— tioned. Now that conditious have chang~ ed in Prince Edward Island, and that we have shipping inthe winter months of tresh fish, butter, poultry, &c, it is all the More important that ten or twelve
miles of railway should be built here
which would terve a large seciion of Jote 59,61, 63 and the eastern parts of lots 57 and 58. I wish to call the attention of the Minister of Marine to that, and trust that he wil] have it carried out by the Gov- ernment. The roads turos at this poiat to Murray River, and passes through or ia the vicinity of Wood Island, Culloden,
Mount Vervon, Irie, Dover, Glen William, Peters Road, Little Sands, High Bank, White Sands, Hopefield and from Murray
River down to deep water at Murray Har-~ bour South. As said, it will efford an alternative route in the winter, st ould the steamer “Stanley” be caught in ibe ice as she hae been time acd again for some vears
pa-t. Some bon. member of this House may think it a@ light thing that a steam*r loaded with freight and pas-
sengers should be floating about ten or fourteen days in the ice. If you bu ldih's road and make this the pro; osed terminue, it will give you a alternative route for
further extension of the westera block before it ie fit for shipping for vessels of aly size. Take the next harboar, Belle River. The Minister of Public Works is notin his place, but last session I asked for a very smal] som, one or two thousand dollars, to be expendeé at Belle River, and what answer did I receive? The Minister ef Public Works got up and told me that that harbor was not under control, and he did not spend mosey on any harbours in this Dominiou which were not under his con- trol. I immediately asked for a return showing the amount of money which this Government had spent for three years on harbers over which he had no control, and the answer made me was that the expendi- ture wae large, and the harbors so numer- ous in different parts of Canada in which expenditures were made, that he could not} bring the return down last sexsion, and it has not yet been laid before tLe house. So that when an expenditure is wanted in Prince Edward Islend the Minister of Public Works can stand up and say, “Oh, well, we are not spending any money on private harbors. I can spend no money on a harbor not under mycontro|.” But when it comes to a harbor in ()nebec or some Other province, the money freely | voted Dialer
“The next harbour contiguous to Belle
River is Pinette harbour. This harbour
is one in whose interest the hon. Minister of Marine and Fieheries has often pleaded,
when he wae on this side of the House, but I am afraid that he has forgotten what he
said so often in reference to the inade-~
quacy of the shipping accommo ‘ation
there. I hope, Sir, that, perahap*, this
session that harbour may receive some at»
tention. Take next the harbor of Vernon
tiver. Perhaps the hon. members ot this
House may not be acquainted with that
barbour, but I am sure the bon. Minister of Marine and Fisheries knows the difficul-
ties that harbor has te contend with. That harbor has been in need of dredging for years. The hon. Minister himself has, time and again, during thirteen or fourteen years, advocated the dredging of the har- boar, but since he has crossed the floor to
that side of the House he has forgotten it completely. Take the next harbour to Vernon River—China Point, and it has a history. The pier at China “Point has floaied down the river,und has been in that condition for two or three years. I think there was an appropriation of $500 a few years ago, and an appropriation Jast ses- sion of of $2,000 ; but I do not think that there is any accommodation for shipping at that point yet. Take the next har- bour from China Point— Pownal and Alex- andria. These twoharbours need atten
tion. I may say, what I eaid at first, that there is vot one well-equipped harbour between Charlottetown and the proposed terminus of this road. The expenditure on these harbours in Prince Edward Island bas been very small ; there is more spent on one harbour in some of the other prov- inces in the Dominion than in tbe whole Province of Prince Edward Island.”
We greatly regret that we'cannot, just now, quote this excellent-speech at length |

Continuing Mr. Martin eaid : “The Liberal party will now redeem it~
that steamerin the winter,and you are doing a work that is not only benefisisl to the province, but which aseumes Doni ion importance. This epur line wili be A great accommodation to the far- mers and fishermen for shipping in the winter season. Itwill shortea the route over which they have to sbip about fuur- fithe, aod I need bardly say that that is quite sn em in shipping freight. Now, Mr. Speaker, I do not think that any good reason can be shown why the construction ot the proposed road should not be proceed~ with,
Mr. Martin submitted in the clearest poxsible way tbe
then statistica
proving equity of Prince Edward Island’s claim to increased railway accommodation aod public works. speech, he referred to the proposed bridgy over the Hillsborough, quoticg the resolu tion pased in the Provincial Logislature in that regard, and saying :
«I need not say, sir, that that shows the people of the province have some coofi- dence in the building of this road, and are anxious to proceed with it. This sum of $12 000 ayear, will represent the interest on the large sum of $400,000. Now $400,000 is quite a large sum for a small province like Prince Edward Island, for it is nearly $4 per head of the population. While they have already spent at the rate of $28 per head for railways in Prince Edward Island, they are now willing, in order to extend tbe railway system which was introduced there over 20 years ago, to bear the ‘urther burden of $400,- 000 This fact shows the great necessity which exists forthis road. The subsidy which is at present voted for the bridge by the province of Prince Edward Island is cne half as much per capita as has been paid by the great province of Oatario for rail- ways altogether; and I have poiated out that the province of Ontario came into thie Dominion without having previously ex~ pended anything for railway construction.”
We grently regret to learn that the Gov- ernment of Canada has not yet come toa decision to do anything in respect tothe Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway or the bridge. Sir Louis Davies admitted in the few remarks he made after Mr. Martin had spoken that “the matter bas not yet been finally decided upon.” Sir Louis is only “not without bopes that later on the Gov- ernment will beable to make eome pro- po*ition with regard to the matter.” Sir Louis added :
“Tt (the. Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway) has to be considered, of course, along with other projects ia other parts of the conotry. But I have aright to think that the righteousnese and feasibility of the scheme are such as will commend it to
my colleagues as they have commended it to myself.”
We fear that ifthis important work is

lt ie worthy of rimark tha’ strongest plea on behalf of railway extension in Pr, E. Island, is that the Jate Liberal-Con- s‘rvative administration committed the Gcvernment to it. “The late Govern- ment,’ said Sir Louie, ‘“‘comaitted them- selves to the principle of the construction ofthe road he (Mr. Martin) advocate:, to- gether witha number of other roads,’ This is the strongest, we may eay the only, ground upon whieb our expectat.ow that the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway will be constructed rests.
— There are Liber: 1s lawyere to be pro~ pitiated; and our Provincia! statutes are now to be consolidated,
—The death last night of Mr. John Mc Kionon well known in Charlottetown and througboutthe Province in connection with the Supreme Court, is reported. Mr, McKionor, was one of our coldest citizens. It is eaid that he was nine.y-four vears of age.
--It is with profouod regret that we chronicle the e«udden death, at New Perth, of Mrs. Robert Dewar. The sad event, which has cast a gloom over the whole community, eccurred on Wednesday lat. Mrs. Dewar’s death hae caused the Chris- tian Charch at Montague to lose one of its most faithful and consisteat members, the poor one oi their moet generous friends, and tbe people of New Perth one who, by her pleasing di+position and many Chris- tian virtues, will long be cherished with feelings’ of fond remembrance. ‘To the sorrowing husband and famity in thie, the hour of their deep affliction, we tender our sincere and heartfelt sympathy.
