more attached they become to her.
This part Of Canada. Nova
Scotia, is called the "Summcr
land Of New England" The
Boston Evening journal is now
engaged in booming travel to this
province. In late issue, under
the heading, "Where the weather
is cool" the Journal says: when
the city is hot and sultry, and It's
popalition IS swelterIng under the
penetrating rays Of the sun, why
no. take a trip to Nova Scotia. the
New Summerlund for New
England?'
As a vacation resort, it IS un-
equAlled. 1t is a place where one
can rest and enjoy the cooling
breezes; that are always to be
found in Nova Scotia. The vaca-
ton is topped of with a delightful
ocean trip by one of the most di
rect and popular routes, the Var
mouth Line.
Nova Scotia is not only q popu.
lar resort with New Englanders,
but also with many residents Of
the Atlantic Cities further south.
At Chester on the Atlantic coast,
already the hotels and boarding
houses, are crowded and over
running with tourists and visitors
from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and other cities Of the
coast, while the hotels of Digby
and other resorts of the Bay of
Fundy, are rapidly filling with
clown East Yankees"
Some well to do people are
fooled on summer resorts, but
these New England Yankees, never.
On coun Of their frugal and
economical habits, they are al
ways going to get their moneys
worth t ON u summer outing, the
same as from any other invest
ment-and being so Le,r to Nova
Scolii, they know where To go.
The people Of this province, too,
take very kindly TO these summer
RAIDS Of Americans.
Entertaining travellers and tour
lists, IS now recognized As one Of
their most profitable industries
aud sources Of income. 1t is esti.
mated that last year. visitors from
the states spent more than half il
million of dollars in this province,
and THAT too, Notwithstanding the
Spanisb-Americ,n war.
All classes and conditions OF
Americans crowd into Nova Scotia,
to enjoy Il summer outing. Preach.
crs come here to cool of their
theology, doctors to ventllate their
powders and pills, lawyers come
here not to study ''the law and
the prophets but to enjoy the
"profts Of the law" while bank
officers come here sometimes at
any season Of the year for their
health.
Only two Americans so far,
whom We know, have come to
this province. The Rev. Chas. r..
Guthrie Of Baltimore whom the
people Of KinQwood know 80 we'll.
