years about $5,o00,000 was expended
on the fortress at Louisbourg. This
town became most important to the
French fishing interests as we'll as a
key to French possessions in America.

side of commodious landlocked har-
Dor, and is about 25 miles from Sid

rail. The mouth of the harbor is about
a mile in width, but continuous reef
reaching from the main shore to a
large island near the center reduces
the entrance to about one-third of a
mile. On this island the French

brilliant success. A lot of unframed

fortress in the country, upon which

of 1,50o trained militia and $50 regu-

finally returned TO France In 1672, had
wrote a work concerning his trouble
some possessions, with title as long
as his years of disappointment. The
mines since that time have been
worked in a desultory way. An Eng
lish company, the General Mining as
sociation, had a monopoly of the coal
trade from 1927 to 1853, when their
charter was amended, so that the
legislature resumed all portions but
the North Sidney part of the east
ern coal field. Leases were at once
made to different companies. The
Dominion Coal company has been
methodically handling the output for
the last few years, and now the Do
minion Iron and Steel company in-
tends to join in making Louisburg q
headquarters.
This venerable town, from having
been an obscure fishing village for
century and half, is liable to regain
an Importance equal to that of the dis
tant past, though differing from it in
kind. Wharves are being built into
down through which fish may be seen
flashing around sunken cannon. In
1898 Boston capitalist consolidated
all the mines not belonging to the old
company. Old shafts have been en-
larged, immense new ones dug and
modern machinery put into use. The
Nova Scotia Steel company is equip
ping large steel plant. At different
points large mines are being worked,
and in 1899 the Dominion Steel & Iron
company at Sidney was founded with
a capital of $40 100000, being a ver-
table Prince Charming to the sleepy
little village, which is as yet hardly
awakened to the fact of its future inn
portance.
Cape Breton is land of splendid
harbors. Several railroads are expect
ed to terminate al Louisbourg, and it
is mentioned as the probable future
landing place for British vessels. This
little town is full of historic interest.
Although Lief Ericsson Is said to have
been the first white maj to view these
shores, there is no history of their
having been trodden except by the feet
of Indians until John and Sebastian
Cabot landed there in 1897 All the ma
tions after this time sent boats to the
surrounding waters for the fishing,
Spain and France taking the lead. In

IQ Draeing the same number Of
IL acres presents more varied at
fractions to the sightseer than the
island of Cape Breton, and few are
more neglected by tourists. It's coast
line divides it from various bodies
of water and it is indented in every
direction by large bays and inlets.
Fogs from the Atlantic ocean, the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence, Gut of Canso,
Cumberland strait, and, last but not
least, over the neck of the peninsula
of Nova Scotia from the Bay of
Fundy, drift over it, enriching and
deepening the color tones of its vege-
tation.
Certain portions of the coast stand
out in bold grandeur. Everywhere
the scenery is fine. In winter, the
dark pines outlined against sea and
sky and contrasted with the purity
of the snow give All impression of
great solemnity. This is heightened
by the roar of the surf. In spring
and summer, when maple, birch and
oak trees furnish variety to the for
In autumn, when the frost has
touched the leaves with glorious reds
and puppies, the island is magnifi-
cent. The atmosphere softens and
blends everything. Grain grows in
abundance, although the inhabitants
draw more or less on the United
States for food supplies. Fish, of
course, are used in large quantities,
for the surrounding waters contain
the finest fishing in the world, but
the great wealth of the island has
always consisted of coal, which is
now being mined in great quantities.
Cape Breton lies between New
foundland and the mainland of Nova
Scotia, to which it was annexed in
1920, much to the disgust of its turbu-
lent Inhabitants, who were as restless

as the waves that surrounded them.
French and Spanish settlers super
seded the Indians; these were fol-
lowed by English and more French,
then more English. After these came,
in 1900, Scotch Highlanders, driven
from their homes by unjust laws.
These latter settled in Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton.
On the island the influx came chief
1y from the inland districts of lnver-
ness and Argyleshire, Roman Catholic
and Presbyterian making common
cause and rendering the little island
the Scotchiest of all Scotch districts
outside the old country. Many anus

ner of standing by each other, cast

Osceola, No. June 22.-Charles Lucas
editor Of the Osceola Democrat, was IN
Topeka q few days ago on business
with ". J. Slack, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe railroad. In con-
versation with Mr.. Black about the
consolidation Of the Frisco and Mem
phis interests. Mr.. Lucas expressed
fear that the Memphis line through TINS
section finally would be abandoned. In
reply Mr.. Black said:
If the Memphis line be abandoned
you people along the road wait till you
hear from the Santa Fe before taking
any action The Santa Fe would like
to 60 down into your country.
Mr.. Lucas regards Mr.. Blacks re-
mark as significant. If the Frisco
should abandon the Memphis,an and many
people believe it will do SO If the con-
solidation goes through, for the Frisco
people are telling that the Memphis line
through this city has never paid expen-
ses, there would be an excellent oppor-
tunity for the Santa Fe to obtain foot
hold in this country, out of Kansas
City.
When the attention of Mr.. Black was
called to this story he denied ever hav-
ing had such a conversation with Chas.
Lucas. He declared that it Is fake
story. pure and simple.
The only thing that the Santa Fe Of

that he has secured some passes from
