After an early breakfast the time was again spent on ilio balcony of the observation car, from which some interestiu€' scenery was soon. This line of the Canadian National Rail- way is intensely interesting, it being the seatof the coal mines, also the extreltle- eastern point of the trip, Look ' where cue would everything spelled prosperity as 'in Nova Scotia and as we neared the: Sydneys, of which there are three (Sydney' alines, North Sydney and Sydney,) innum- erable thriving towns were passed all sremiine to bring to one's vision ite' own strieking importance, It would net be amiss here to mention Glace J3ay, a beautiful town of about 12000 inhabitants, with an ideal summer resort, its main industries being the mining of coal and its fisheries, VISIT TO :THE 'SYDNEYS Arriving at Sydney motors were a- gain waiting and a tour of this city of 82,000'wes Made including an in teresting visit to the British Ameri c'an Steel Corporation, e Where we were shown the. whole works from they raw' material to einislied articles such as rails for the railroads, wire, tacks, staples,' nails all sizes and many other interesting features, In this plant between four and five thousand men aro employed.

' Its erection cost mare than $25,090,000 in current valuation of money, and although it was eonmaenced' in 1720 it was not until 20 years later that it was com- pleted. In 1744, when war broke out 'between England and France, 1± was attacked and captured by an expedi- tionary force comprised entirely of volunteers from New England. 1"t was returned to France in 1848, but 10 years later was attacked by a Bra tisk war fleet, and again captured. With this fleet were General Wolfe, later oon ueror of Quebec, and Cap- tain tain Cook, whose name 18 linked for- ever with exploration and disdoveries in the Pacific. Ocean. Britain, how' ever considered the .f •• , oltress too` strong to take further chances with it and ordered it razed. Although a party of engineern employing hun- dreds of ao, worked for months at this task, the remains of its vast` defences are still able 'to tell their tale of the valorotis past. CiclulrcWithin the teem of"The Sydneys" are three towns, namely, Sydney, North Sydney and Sydney Mines. An important town which can lay claim to be within the' dis- trict is Glace Bay, fourteen miles from Sydney, Sydney is the principal city of the island. It is the Eastern terminus of the Canadian National Railways and a sea, port of importance. It is the centre of the steel making Indus- tr'y,ef the Dominion, and around it,in a limited area, are situated eighten or twenty of the greatest Coal mikes in North America The industry is ono which is growing in importance every year and one whicl"i' contain$ unbounded 3ossib` 1 zllties, there being unworked aset u- e . ;;' a h g submarine coal field under the strait s which separates Cape Breton from New- fouiidlanid. Access to all points of interest aid' entertainment is made easy by thea Canadian. National Railway's. There 18 an abundance of fine trout and salmon fishingas well as'y ,mall game hunting. Much of the route, lies along the borders of the far-famed Bras d'Or, the great inland salt water lake of Cape Breton. The Bras d'Or wasters have a surface 'area . of 450 square miles, dile width varying from less than a mile to 18 miles. So, too, does the depth vary, soundings have ing been taken at a depth of 700feet in one part of Little Bras d'Or. "The length of these lakes is about fifty miles, its waters being "sheltered from the 'ocean, of which it forms a Dart, by hills of great -beauty. Along its length it expands into hays, in- lets and romantic havens, while pie - teresque,, islands clef, ats surface, . u ..; ,A .. singly and in fairy clusters,.. Along this stretchnothing `. is of country common nothing tame; ame; .all is tuned to play upon the emotions the strings l+ 1u5 of keenest pleasure, 2Every variety 01 landscape meets the ewe and the sepses are never wearied, thecener. s � along the Bras d'Or route of the Can- adian National Railways ailways is ungues - i , t Ona1>ty one of the iziost diYersfiec. and beautiful in the Dotn"hnion. BOAT TRW ON 11Di1AS 1) '011E Leaving Sydney after luncheon,, on the steamer Bras d 'Ore, the party enjoyed another boat tripthrough the Brae d .'Ore lakes, the scenery of. which is- wonderful ' Gieat massive- rocks fermemouiitains on either side but dotted here and there are small vilages, and farms- nestling among, the trees. • Towards the end of the boat ride, was seen the, burying place of Gra- ham Bell, of the Bell Tel. Co., high. up on the top of a hugh mountain, where he owned a thousand acre. farm, ' At the foot .of thismountain is seen his beautiful summer home. On this trip were two amusing in- cidents. Shortly after leaving Syd- ney, , the boat made a landing and a small boy anxious to sell papers got on board, and . the boat pulled away before he had time to et off. How_ eve the little ; fellow' was seen, in tears, and word was 'sent to the cap- tain, who soon pulled back again and the lad was allowed to join his fel- low newsies, amid a shower of silver coin from the gentlemen on board. The other was when a couple of barrels of lobsters were spied on the boat. They were tossed to every- body even up on first and second deckand handed arounu until all on board were supplied with all they could eat of this delicacy. At :Saddeck another landing was. made and supplies unloaded for the inhabitants. Overlooking this town is where Graham Bell's remains lie. MOTOR TI—ZIP ATN 7W GLASGOW Iona was, reached about 9.30 p.m. where all boarded the train again which had come back to this point from Sydney, passengerless. A night's run brought us to new Glas- gow, Nova Scotia at 6 a.m. Thursday. Ilere again cars conveyed the party through the city which was profusely decorated, and out about ten miles in. the country to Pictou, which place will this year celebrate the 150th an aiversary of the landing bt the ship "Hector," which transported Scottish pioneers, who settled in that part of Nova Scotia. Returning to the city suburbs we were shown through one of the many thriving industries of the city: the car shops, where it was interesting to see the different' processes where 300 cars, were turned• out every day. The Standard Cla' Products Lim- ited is located here which gives labor to many hundreds of hien. Among other industries are the granite works, foundry machine shops, jew- elry manufactures, woodworking fac- tories and many 'others. The East- ern Chronicle. established in 1852 is one of the oldest papers published in N. S., and helps with several others` to care for New Glasgow from a newspaper's point of: view. During oui' motor drive we were taken to Green Hill, the highest point in N. S. It affords a most beautiful pallor - aline view of many hills and valleys. Afterwards we were driven to the large First Presbyterian 'church where a sumptuous luncheon was served, followed by addresses given by mayor White of New Glasgow and other leading officials. At Truro, our next stop, 'a motor ride had been planned, but on ac- count of running behind scheduled time, no one was allowed to leave the platform. The mayor therefore, to- gether with Premier Armstrong, of N. S., who welcomed us at Halifax, and who was now touring the Prov- ince, gave a speech of welcome on the platform, after' which the Press Par- ty sang "0 Canada," and Alouette. s Arriving at Amherst, we again de' trained ` and in the waiting motor were driven about the town. Here we appreciated the presence of the firemen, who turned out with their outfit of hook, ladder and hose equip_ m.ent, all motor driven, and which showed up exceedingly well. From here we were driven to Sackville, New Brunswick. This drive was made a little ,unpleasant by a nasty drizzling rain and rather cool breeze. The boundary line between N. B, and N. S. is a tidal ,river called Missi- quash. There are several tidal rivers in Nova Scotia, where with the rising title the water; flows inland to the iclistance of 40 or 50 miles. During this ride we visited another historic old. fort called Fort Beausejor, now lying in ruins. The land here is known as the Tantramai Dyke Landhl. and are low and marshy, but quite rich, 1io fertilization whatever being required to 'furnish ` anannual crop of 40,000, tons of good hay. y Arriving at.Sackvilbe, a band ser- enaded us as we Were driven through the centre of the town. . We first visited the ' Art gallery, then the Clias. Fawcett Memorial Building-, where the mayors from 'both Amherst and Sackville united in 'welcoming the party to those two towns. They each told of the )roeressiven • Y l .. Cs� of. the two towns and surlI000dinl country. Afterwards a light lunch- nim was served which had to be eat- en ;rather too quickly because the train was waiting in at the depot, Leaviag Sackville about boYt 9 o'clock p.m. we 'our p , journeyed to�.

The city, located on the St. John River, is one of. the prettiest in the Maritime Provinces. It has a population of 10,000 and contains many beaiitiful hones as well ae the Parliament- buildings, ijnive.rsite of iivg", and Christ Church Cathedral, one of the stateliest religious <edifices in Eastern Canada. Splendid motoring roads connect „with the main high- ways of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the New England States.
