(ANGERS ISLAND MAY BUY FERRY STEANER The Oouncll Would Be Alded by the Ontario Government Good Roads Grant. The, council for the township of Amherst Island is still debating over the question of ferry service for the island. The contract the township had with the owners of the steamer Brockville, which for the past five years made two trips a week to Stella, expired last fall and a new agreement. has not been signed as yet, and there is a chance that one will not be entered into. Many of the islanders are of the opinion that the council should pur- chase a ferry boat, which would run between Millhaven, on the main land, and the island. This boat, providing it was large emough to make trips to Kingston each week, would be of great benefit to the fslanders. It has also been suggest- ed that a large scow be bought which would be towed by a motor boat and could be rum between these two points. The people who are anxious to put this scheme through claim that if a ferry boat were purchased the council would be able to get a grant from the Ontario Government to- ward the upkeep. It is stated that the ferry route would be considered a& part of the good roads system, and the province would pay forty per cent. of the cost of maintaining the service. At the present time, it is understood that the council has a Sum amounting to about $5,000, which could be used for the pur- chase, and the province would also pay its share of the purchase price. It is claimed that the Napanee Board of Trade Is 'anxious to see the township buy a ferry, as it thinks that if the islanders were landed at Milhaven {it would mean that they would likely 80 to Napa- nee to do their shopping. The Kingston nierchants do not figure that the islanders would £0 to Napa- nee, as they have been im the habit of shopping in Kingston for years, and the distance between Millhaven and Napanee is about thd same as to Kingston. A few years ago the Dominion government erected a large whart at Millhaven, and there is sufficient wa- ter at the wharf for a good-sized steamer to land. * The distance between Amherst Island and the mainland is about two to three miles; and takes about twenty minutes for an ordinary mo- tor boat to make the trip. At the over the ice, and HkigAtion it is taken over by motor Missin. ' ---------------- CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS' CANADIAN RECITAL TOUR. Dr. Charles G. Dp. Roberts posses- #68 many of the characteristics of the old-fashioned gentieman. He is 8raciousness itself, with the manners of a courtier and the sympathy of a tender-hearted mother. He is also refreshingly proud of his race, his country and his United. Empire Loyalist ancestry, ready to take up the cudgels in their behalf with quite reckless ardor. During the British- Boer war, for Instance, he publicly challenged an American journalist and adventurer. to a duel for deroga- tory remarks concerning Great Brit- ain. However, the American apolo- glzed. The day that brought the British Empire into tne Great War found ' Dr. Roberts seeking enlist. ment in the Legion of Frontiersmen.
