lives were lost in the storm which
swept the Bay of Chaleur, according
to reports received here.
AdVlces from outlying places along
the New Brunswick and Quebec coasts
OF the bay, when received, add to
this total. The storm caused the
greatest number of fatalities in the
history of the north shore.
Accounts brought in by fishing
vessels which lived through the blow.
show that the wind blew with terrific
force. Capt. Samuel Beck of the
schooner Warren, estimates that the
gale blew $50 miles an hour at times.

their crews are:
Capt. Alberts, schooner and crew
Of five. Rubin Cove schooner gone
with all hands.
Schooner riding at anchor fifteen
miles off Shippegan, all crew swept

picked up near Shippengan.

men were recovered.
The >250 fishing boats sheltered in
the Gaspe harbor were destroyed, be.
ing torn from their anchors and dash
ed to pieces on the rocks. The loss

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1914-09-05
DoNALDsoNvlLLE, La, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1914.

rectly there was an incalculable bene-
fit in the stimulus to cooperative eff
fort in the upbuilding of the four
parishes particularly and the whole
state in general.
We are at one with Mr.. Vickers
in appreciation of the distinct mate
rial advantages which flow from such
fairs. Intimate knowledge of what
the Shreveport fair has done, not
only for Shreveport, but for the
whole section Of which Shreveport
is the hub, long since convinced us
Of the claim they have both had on
official and popular support; and
hence we believe with Mr.. Vickers
that the mayor and the city council
will further the city's material inter
est in making an appropriation for
the Donaldsonyille. fair.
We cannot altogether agree with
Mr.. Vickers, however, when he COM
plains that although the city has
constantly preached the value of CO.
operation and a better understanding
between the city and the country,
heretofore the cooperation has seem
ed rather "a one-sided bargain with
the lions share of the benefits 60
ing to the city.
We might cite many instances in
which the country rather than the
city was the beneficiary of their CO.
operation. The single instance of the
good roads tax, however, suffices to
Illustrate the point.
When this tax was proposed it
was perfectly clear that it, would
take out of thez#pockets of the peo-
PIE of New Orleans some 100000 a
year, not a nickel of which could be
expended upon cur own highways.
Mr.. Vickers will surely not consider
us unfair in assuming that, if the
proposition had been reversed and
the whole benefit was to come to
the city, the proposition would. have
been defeated. But New Orleans took
the broad view that whatever served
the welfare of the country, even at
the direct expense of the city, would
inevitably contribute to the welfare
of the whole state, in which neces-
sarily she would share, and so she
ratified this country good roads tax,
to run for all time, by an overWhelm-
ing vote.
Meantime, we hope the spirit
which the city is E,anifesting in the
encouragement not only of the south
Louisiana fair but of the various par
ish fairs will tend to clearer under
standings and a recementing of the
ties that bind the interests of the
city and the country one with the
other. The interest OF one is neces-
sarily the interest of the other. What
helps one is bound to benefit the
other.
