PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. 7b or for woe with the fate of the mighty Do¬ minion. The county is the chief of a province part of our young and lusty nation fast growing up in our Canadian country, with liberty and might and enjoying the benefits of the power and prestige of the British Empire. The present great feature in our history is the westward growth and the set¬ tlement of the immense areas stretching across to the Pacific. The days of the early pioneers, of the men who did the hardest and roughest work, are over. Are the sons de¬ termined to preserve and improve the heri¬ tage of their fathers? The land and the ter¬ ritorial waters are the prime source of live¬ lihood, the real treasurychests of the country. Love thou thy land With love far brought From out the distant past But used within the present and transfused to future time By power of thought. KINGS COUNTY . By Georue S. Inman . Kings County is triangular in shape and occupies the east portion of Prince Edward Island . It contains twenty-one townships or lots, namely: Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-nine, sixty-one, sixty- three, sixty-four and sixty-six, containing in all about four hundred and twelve thousand acres. The southern shore is high and pre¬ cipitous and the northern shore almost en¬ tirely unbroken with the exception of St. Peter 's Bay and Savage Harbour . The east¬ ern shore, however, is very much indented with bays, harbours and rivers. There is Souris Harbour , which is open most of the year, and and Murray Har ¬ bour, into which there empty the Grand and Murray rivers respectively. Most im¬ portant, however, is , or, as it is sometimes called "Three ," having received the latter name on account of hav¬ ing discharged into it the Montague, Car¬ digan and Brudenell rivers. On a peninsula projecting into this bay formed by the two latter rivers is situate the town of , the winter port of the province. The latter town is the countyaeat and is beautifully situated on the harbour bearing its own name. It is well laid out, with broad streets crossing each other at right angles and with a large square and common. But its progress has been slow. It derives its chief importance from being the winter port through which most all pro¬ vincial traffic passes during the months of December, January, February and March. The town of , 'about fifty miles distant from Charlottetown , is situate on a harbour of the same name. It does a large mercantile business and exports large quanti- tities of farm produce and fish. By fai the most progressive and hustling town in the county is that of Montague, situate on the Montague river about six miles from George-
