The items we have published recently

busy and enterprsng place bids fair to
again enjoy the prosperity which had at
tended it in the past. The Sentinel has
done good service to PASSPORT, and to the
individual enterprises, in presenting these
facts to the public and they have receiv
ed attention at our hands as welcome
evidence that new fields of industry, and
OF profit, have been opened to our people.
That our fisheries may become a greater
source of revenue in the near future than
they have been in the past, few can doubt.
