The railroad war now raging between the
trunk lines at New York and in Western
cities, looks as every company had concluded
that it had better take care of itself and let
the others do likewise Passenger rates are
being cut between New York, Chicago. St
Louis and other western cities, and all at
tempts to get back to some basis of agreemen Mt
have so far failed. 1t is alleged in this con-
nection that the Erie and the Baltimore and
Ohio companies have entered into an alliance
with the irregular ticket agents commonly
called "scalpers,' with the purpose of Grip
pling their great rivals. the Pennsylvania
Central and the New York Central. No mat
ter how the latter two lines cut their western
rates the ''scalpers' manage to keep far
enough below them in price to tempt the
large share of custom. II is no secret to
those at all familiar with railroad affairs that
there has been more or less quiet cutting OF
rates between the east and west for some
time past. The "scalpers" have as a rule
been able TO sell tickets over any of the trunk
lines at from one to two dollars less than the
established rates to Cincinnati and points
west.

CanpObellO.

Campobcllo is beautiful island of East
port, and near Grand Menan. Ii is about 10
miles long and about 70 in circumference
and has just been invented BY q Boston and
New York company. under the title of The
Watering place of the Future" Campobello,
unlike Billee Taylor's Arabella. does not let
modesty interfere with her opportunities
There are no woodticks in Campobello. and
no huckleherry spiders, but there are breezy
upland heights. where the sheep wander. and
long drives through woods of spruce and fir.
filled with flowers and fragrance and stretch
ing headlanis and peninsulas that reach far
out into the sea. winds so full of the basamic
odors of the woods that YOU cannot drink in
enough of them. and a sunshine tempered by
the wind into hca!thtul glow. Passamaquod-
DIV Bay is as beautiful a. picture. with
its wooded islands, and its sailing
facilities are unequaled. The island
cliffs are not so grand as those of
Mount Desert. but the views from its shores
are unequaled in variety and beauty. Our
graudmo,hers handed down a wicked tradi-
tion to the effect that when Satan took the
Lord up to the top of the mountain to show
him the kingdoms of the world he did not
show him Campobello because he knew it
would not be any temptation, But Machiss
people in our grandmothers' days knew moth
ing OF natural beauty, nor ulu the resi- OF the
world till Wadsworth and Ruskin taught
them how to see. Campobello deserves its
name. and the fact that the flag of England
flies over it and that il is intensely loyal
makes it all the more interesting as a sojourn.
Here YOU are really in foreign parts. though
only three miles from the United States. A
new hotel is springing up like mushroom
on old Admiral Owens estate, and Boston
and New York energy aud capital are uniting
to make the place come up to the proud name
of ..The Watering Place of the Future"
The LIST of August is to be its birthday.
