St. John, N. B., Aug. 10, 1902.

Ia. WOOdVllle Republicans:
The old steamship, Louisiana,
made her usual five days trip 10 New
York, full of passengers, all bent
on having pleasant time, and as
the weather was very favorable,
and there was no sea sickness, the
trip was very enjoyable. After re-
manning in New York a couple of
days, took passage OH board the
steamship North Star, for Portland.
She is very large, fine Steamer,
with staterooms and berths to carry
1000 passengers. and she was full
of people; l could not even get
berth, but had to sleep on the cabin
floor on mattrass. On the North
ern steamers you pay for your pas
sage a stated sum, and then YOU
pay for the stateroom, and again
for your meals. You have to stand
i'll line at the pursers office and get
your meal tickets, and it may be
fully an hour before your turn
comes, which is generally the case,
when there are a good many ladies
i'll the line, who have a talent to
keep the good looking purser busy,
asking him questions most of which
he finds it difficult to answer, as for
instance, when will we get to Port
land? AS that depends on wind
and currents, it is hard on the pur-
ser. The price of meals OH these
boats is one dollar. AS l eat very
little supper l went to the lunch
counter, where for twenty cents |
received a glass of bluejohn and a
quarter section of pie. Next morn
ing, at S a. NJ, all the mattress oc-.
cupiers were hustled up, as the floor
space was needed for breakfast. 1t
turned very cold during the night,
and we poor floor jewellers SILVER
ed, as there was no chance to get
to our baggage.
At Portland l had to change
Steamer to go to St. John, New
Brunswick, and l got OH board of
the Penobscot, all old. timer, with
paddle-wheels. I think, perhaps,
she is the only paddle steamer still
in commission; she is more than
twenty years old, and showing signs
of age, but you get every comfort
on board of her. The dining room
is away down below the surface of
the ocean. You have to 60 down
three flights of stairs before you
reach the dining-room, and to be
sure it is very crowded, probably
one hundred and fifty people eating
at once. This steamship is crowded
too, and i'll fact every place is filled
both by land and water, and you
wonder where all the people come
from.
In due time we arrived at ST.
John, quaint, well-built city of
so, 900 inhabitants. AS it happen
ed to be 9th August, at night, ev-
cry body was out in the street to
see the grand fireworks, in honor
of King Edwards coronation. It
was very fine; Bengal flames of all
colors of the rainbow, explosive
balls, sky-rockets by the bushel,
and yelling of the boys, made it
very attractive. I have to lay over
here to-day, as steamers do not
start here OH Sunday, but to-mor-
row / expect to go by steamer to
Digby, in Nova Scotia. Ifanytflfng
happens Of interest I shall let you
bear from me again, NJ,

1t will thus be seen that our

peritY of our county has been
questioned by some but it can no
longer be disputed. Of course
this is not phenominally large
increase, but, during the coming
years it will continue to grow, we
have no doubt. The many new
enterprises that are now in course
of erection will add considerably
to the assessments in future and
others are certain to follow. We
consider this a healthy increase,
and we find in it justification for
the hope of a bright future for
the county.
