Hundreds of P E Island's Sons Left for Manitoba and the Territories To-day
The annual harvest excursions of farm laborers from Eastern Canada to the Northwest, arranged by the Canadian Pacific Railway took place today.
Probably never in history have so many of Prince Edward Island's sons left their homes on any one day before. Truly a finer body of young men have never gone forth from any homes, nor a finer lot of fortune seekers ever assembled together than the Northumberland took over from Prince Edward Island to the mainland today. (More than five hundred.)
