Ray ST. LOIlIS.

Beautiful for situation is the Bay
of ) Louis. From It's white beach,
We have in view almost perfect OBJ
ject lesson in geography.
There Is an island, strait "a cape,
n peninsula, two rivers, u delta, a
suspicion of hills, bay, a sound,
anu The broad horlzor- bound gulf;
while over all is a canopy of sky,
which travellers say, rivals that of
Italy.
Along the western shore Of this beau
tiful bay is built our city of Bay st.
Louis. 1t ls not well known to the
outslde world, else we think tourists
would ofteuer turn their steps this
way. We are sure il they could once
drink IN the ozone of our Carrlbean
breezes, or nhale the balmy breath
"f our pine forests; or enjoy the ex-
filtration of our sea bathing, or par
take of our oysters, fish and crabs
they will come again.
There are interesting "reminiscences
OF our town TO be found elsewhere
in these columns. But the old time
ways ure rapidly giving way to the
new. There is stir of business On
our streets, unknown a few years
ago. We pay more attention 10 the
"creature comforts" Our stores are
larger. more numerous, and better
suppl ell. Our houses are built with
more attention to architectural de-
signs. We care more for the educa-
tion Of our children, as handsome
public school building testifes. In
dustries are more numerous, A can
ing factory, an ice factory, a s.eam
grIst mill, coal yards, wood Yards,
more saw mills, more truck farms
near by, mure chicken farms with in
cubator attachments, all show that
new life is being infused 10 our veins.
Again, we are caring more for our
spiritual and moral welfare. Two
churches have beer built and two
more are expected to be IN the near
future. More Sunday schools are in
operation. more Bibles are read more
hymns are sung.
There is also growing sentiment
in favor OF temperance. There are
fewer saloons, and fewer men in Jail
for crimes committed through whis-
Key drinking, while thanks to a pro-
gressive mayor there isa better OBJ
serrance Of the Sunday law.

Nooksack river however, flows into Bel
