Baxter, Back from
Provinces, Says 1900
Mile Trip ENJOYABLE

Governor Baxter who has recently
returned from few days trip In
Nova Scotia in an endeavor to re-
cuperate to some extent from the eX-
acting work during the summer on
the primary recount and the subse-
duent Campaign. toured a distance
of 1900 miles, he said Yesterday.
II was much impressed with the
splendid character of the people and
with the great opportunities for de-
velopment in Nova Scotia" he re-
marked. THAT province possesses
unusual natural resources. 1t has
ample deposits of coal, iron, gold and
o.her minerals: has great water pow
ors. unusually fine farmland and fish
cries of untold value. Its population
is composed Of people who, more
than any people I have ever met. re-
semble old time New Englanders. It
is not mixed poplation but is al
most purely Of English and Scotch
ancestry. There is distinct Nova
Scotia type and no finer can be found
anywhere.
Great progress has been made on
Nova Scotia roads and in all our
journey we did not come upon a sin
gle bad stretch. not even on some Of
the cross roads that were long dis
tances from the main highways. This
road work all has been done within
ten years. I could see they believe
in maintaining their roads and do
not allow them to go backward.

Maine but, like our own state, many
Of her young people prefer to go to
the larger centers although they no
doubt would do much better to re-
main at home.
1.-The hotels are well conducted and
their prices reasonable. In fact we
did not experience single instance
Of overcharging. which is most I'M
usual especially in places that cater
to summer visitors. The greatest
encouragement to tourist travel in
any country is two things-good
roads and fair hotel prices. If either
one Of these items Is lacking, 1t
proves n serious handicap to tourist
business. Nova Scotia people are
not the kind to take advantage and
their hotel keepers. unlike those in
some places / have visited do not
charge all the tourist will bear
1.-THE Annapolis Valley is one OF
the most fertile spots in North Am
erica. 1t specializes in apples. The
trees were loaded with handsome
fruit that had been cared for scien-
tifically. Most of this goes across
the water to Great Britain.
Halifax Is an unusually beautiful
city. 1t Is well laid out. has q splen-
aid harbor and it's public gardens
ana parks are as fine as can be
found. In these respects 1t is an ex-
ample that our American cities NAV
well follow. / should like to see clos
er relations established between the
people Of Nova Scotia and those of
New England for it would be to the
advantage of us all.
1.-THE dairy industry has been de-
veloped on the peninsula to a con-
siderable extent. and 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see at ono time several
hundred cattle on the meadows and
hillsfdes. In fact ! saw more cattle
there in two days than l often see in
weeks time in Maine. I especially
noticed the school buildings. MANY
OF them were new and all Of them
seemed to be we'll kept. The high
Intelligence of the population shows
what the schools have done for the
people.
when the citizens of Maine want
to make a trip of a few days outside
the country they will make no mis-
take IL they go to Nova Scotia. The
roads there are well marked and we
did not once lose our way. Again in
this respect they set an example to
Maine. where our roads. as a rule,
are not well marked and where
strangers often waste time and dis
lance by getting on the wrong roads.

r. r. Lumber Rates
Scheduled for Drop
On October First

BY recent rate changes made by
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Company, to be effective October
first, the rates on lumber and other
forest products shipped to points on
the Maine Central Railroad and the
Boston & Maine Railroad will be re-
duced approximately four cents per
100 pounds from the rates now in
force.
In order to bring about the rate
reductions SO that they may be made
applicable at an early date, the In
ter-State Commerce Commission and
the Maine Public Utilities Commits
sion. Friday. granted permission al
lowing the reduced rates to become
effective on short term notice.
For some time large quantities OF
Pacific coast fir have been finding
their way into the New England
market through the Panama Canal
and by vessel to the New England
ports. The entry of the Pacific
Coast product has had a serious eff
feet on the sale of New England
lumber within its own territory.
In order that the Maine carriers
and shippers might be in a position
to compete with the western pro-
duct, it has been found necessary to
make reQuctlOnS not only III tHC al
rates of the Maine carriers but also
to reduce the stumpage costs to OPP
orators.
By the reduction of approximate
" four cents Per 100 pounds in the
rail lumber rates and reduction of
! u per cent by the timberland own
ers in the price of stumpage. the
| attempt made to meet competition

At any event. 1t is the purpose OF
