PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

Tignish Harbor

to be burned in heaps in order to make lime, but it is a long while since that expensive process has been permitted.

In going from place to place over the island the stranger cannot fail to be impressed by the neatness which marks the farms and the generally prosperous look of the farmers and their surroundings. There are no poor districts, and there is no poverty in the country places. The farmers own their farms, and some of these farms are models, supplied with everything required in the line of improved machinery.

Alberton, in the western part of the island, has some fine fishing within a radius of a few miles from the village. Sea trout are found at Kildare, Conroy, Miminegash River and at Beaton’s, while there are brook trout in several mill ponds in the neighborhood. There is good cod and mackerel fishing in the bay, with an abundance of geese, brant and other fowl in the season. There is a continuance of the opportunities for sport in the vicintiy of Tignish.

At Emerald Junction, thirty-one miles from Charlottetown, a branch of the railway runs up to Cape Traverse, on the Strait of Northumberland, where the fine scenery and other attractions make a summer sojourn very pleasant.
