R. equipment and was under the manage- ment of that railway from Toronto to Hali- fax, was run over the government line from Fredericton to St. John in order that the. travellers might have an opportunity of seeing the St. John Valley, far-famed for its beautiful, scenery. And it surely was worth while. Leaving New Brunswick's capital about 8.30, on a charming June morning, the party was scarcely out of sight of the river for eighty miles and the varied- beauties of this part of a noble river will , not soon be forgotten. TheASt.l John is over 400 miles long and navigable for 100 milesor more. 'It is said that one of the terms of contract under which this Val- ley Line" was constructed for the provincial government was that -it should be at no part more than a mile distant from the river. In the lower stretches` of the river were noticed what are termed intervals," little at islancki formed by deposits. On these" islets abundant crops of hay are grown . The Bay of-Fund): is noted for its tre- mendous tides, rising as high as 28 feet and among the highest in the world. Of these the most .marvellous manifestation is at, the Reversible Falls, where the River St. John enters the harbor. The St. John, flow- ling into the bay, has a drop of about 25 feet in a narrow gorge of great beauty .; butwhen the tide rises, the water more than overcomes this difference in level. The salt water rises steadily and forcas its` way up the river bed; as it ebbs again, the half-fresh. half-salt water has to find its way out and does so at a speed somewhat like that of the whirlpool at Niagara. The speed at which the water rushes `through this gorge forms` big masses of foam that oating down the river have very much the appearance of cakes of ice.

The C.P.R. was running on Eastern standard time. the C.N.R. on Atlantic standard time, while thecity being on daylight saving was an hour still further ahead. With such a con. fusion of times it took some figuring to keep engagements on time. On arriving at the union station, which `by the way is qui`e, as antiquated looking as Toron`to Union Station, our party was met by the` Mayor and aldermen of the city. local news- papermen and others, all extending the glad hand of welcome. The street railway company presented each of the travellers with a pass pumitting free rides anywhere. and at any time over` the system. This} incidentally disclosed a rather novel way of ` selling transportation on this electric rail-i way. A common practice is to buy 3' week s pass for one" dollar which entitles the holder to make as much use as he likes of the railway for one week. In special` cars the newspaper folk were taken to a park in the centre of the city-rather pret- ty but apparently receiving little attention as compared -with what is given parks in .the towns and was of Ontario. As far as we saw the city, the same remark would apply to places of business and residential] properties for the most part. There was no- opportunity to inspect the stores as the doors were closed for the Saturday half- holiday. V I At Ann n`nlnnlr.+]-m uicifnm umrn anmntn` K CH6 uI)pCl'lIXl\'vC Ul CURVE U1 1150.

Owing to so many motorists having left the city for the week-end, cars were not available for the ` men of the party so they amused themselves ` in various ways seeing what they could of the city. A movie" at the Imperial The- atre and a dance at the Venetian Gardens for those so inclined completed a pretty full day. The Rotary Club, Tourist Asso- ciation and Motor Association assisted in -the entertainment. Rain fell that evening and this was aboutthe only disagreebale weather encountered during the trip. . Great Winter Port While St. John, _'with its population of 63.000, is" an important manufacturing and wholesale centre, its chief distinction lies in being the greatest winter port of Eastern Canada. The `harbor is a magnicent body 4 of .water and `Nature's bountiful provision- has been supplemented by the expenditure of millions. St. John people have put their 0. own money into the harbor and the city nowhas the unique. privilege ofowning its own port.

On the eastern side of the main harbor, ad- joining the half-million bushel `elevator of the Canadian National Railways, are three berths, while at the Long Wharf of the latter railway system, situated in the north. ern part of the harbor, are two berths. 'Still another berth is that at the Atlantic Sugar Refinery, situated 311681` the south of -he harbor. The las'-named berth is con- nected with the Canadian National Rail-' ways. as is the greater part of the eastern front of the. mainharbor. At Courtenay Bay, just outside -the in- net harbor, an enormous drydock, 1,150 feet in length, is in course of construction and when completed will be one of the largest in the world. A.` o . nn. Some conception of the importance of St. John in connection with ocean-borne traf- c may be gathered from the fact that dur. ing the winter, lines of steamers are regular-' Iy plying between its port and such distant parts" of the world as Liverpool, London, Manchester, .Bris`oI, Dublin, Glasgow, Havre. St. Nazaire, Bordeaux, Antwerp, Christiana, South Africa, New Zealand. Australia, British West In_ Bri- t-ish Guiana, Argentina, and ports on the Mediterranean. ' i Near the mouth of the river is the site of the St. John Fort erected in theearlyl days of the French regime, made particular. 13` famous by the vigor "with which it was defended by the wife. of La Tour, the com- mandant, against a sudden: and unexpected attack while the latter was on a trip to 1303-- ton. Later, under the British, it became Fort `Frederick, and in local parlance is" known today as Old Fort." On the Carl- ton heights is an interest-ing Martello Tower, 4 erected over a` century ago, and overlooking St. John, while still another site of an early fortification is Fort Howe. A National Port ` Seeing the fsplendid facilities available at this port, any Canadian could hardly fail to be impressed with thedesirability of sending through this channel, when the St. Lawrence ports are closed, as much as pos- sible of Canada- s trade. The recent increase of preference for British goods so sent will help some, but there is room for great mis- sionary work in enlarging the policy of Canadian ports for Canadian trade." Of 250.000,000 bushels of grain produced in Canada last year St. John handled only some 16,000,000 bushels` while 150,- 000.000 bushels helped to maintain Amer- ican railroads and ports. If this latter went overseas by Canadian ports, it would im- mensely advantage Canadian railways and ports and through them the whole of Canav (la. _, ,. .1 . . ...a ua. `_ l l In the next instalment a description will` be given of places of interest visited on thel way from St. John, to Halifax, including ithe -"Annapolis Valley, so rich in its histor- Iical associations and famed particularly for `its apple production.
