One of the reasons assigned is the expansion of employment in industry which has resulted from increased demand stimulated by the cheapcning and increasing of pro- duction as a result of the use of machinery. A familiar illustration is found in the automobile. Before it came the number of persons owning horses except for farming

The value. of these resolutions will be in direct proportion to the nrzrnncr in which they strcngihcu the hands of our parliamentary rcprcscnbarlvcs in prcsslng for improvclncnt in the scrvlccs now rccclvcd.

Our Boards of Trade arc purely unofficial organizations, and as such they serve a useful purpose when working in harmony with tho elect- ed representatives of the people. Othcriviso their efforts have proved in the past to have little practical value, It will hc recalled, for cx- amplc, that the chance in the cur ferry accounting system making that lcrvlce a charge upon the consolid- ated revenue fund of thc Dominion, had been recommended by the Dun- can Commission as far buck as 192C,

many subsequent occasions. It was not until last May, however, when the present Provincial Ciovernnrcnt took the matter in hand in co-r pcr- atlon with the Coirscrvnlivc rcprc- sentaiivcs of the Province in Par- liament, that success was achieved. A delegation consisting of Hon. Dr. \V. J. P. MacMillnrr, Aclinl: Premier, Ion. John A. MacDonald, M.P., and Messrs, W. Chester S. McLure, M.P., and John H. Myers, MR, interview- ed Hon. Dr. hfoniou, Minister of Railways, on the subject, find re- ceived a prompt and favorable reply. i.n the same manner, through a del- egation consisting of lion. Dr. W. J. P. MacMiilun, Hon. John A. Mac- Donald, M.P., and Mr. Justice A. E. Arsenault, president of the ’I‘0urist Association, the reduction in auto- mobile rates on the car ferry to $3.00 one way, or $5.00 for the return trip, was obtained with the promise of consideration of a further reduction next year. In the brief presented on that occasion the climirfritlon of all automobile carrying charges was urged on the same grounfs, and in practically the same phrascology, as appear in the wording of the resolu- tion passed at Tuesday's meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade at Bummcrside.

The real difficulty is that th- sclence of distribution has not kept pace with the science of produc- tion. The speeding up of produc- tion ought to be a. blessing like a bountiful crop of food. To some ex- tent this boom has been bestowed. But when it hos been found nec- essary to limit the production of food in the United States, when a possible increased production of

EDITORIAL NOTES

It was incorrectly stated in these columns that Mr. Angus L. Mac- donald will be the first Roman Ca-l tholic premier of Nova Scotia. That distinction properly applies to the late Sir John Thompson, who be- came Premier of our sister Province in 1882. Later in the same year he was appointed a Judge of the Bu-. preme Court and in 1886 was called to Ottawa to become Minister of Justice in the cabinet of Sir John Macdonald. l3 speech in defencel of the Reil question brought him into national prominence and in 1892 he became Prime Minister of Canada. Apart from his political activities he was at Washington in 1887 as legal adviser of the British Government in connection with the

Saxby “Gale Recalled

(A. B. Cutting in the Toronto Mail and Empire)

The storm that on Wednesday. August 23, battered the Altlantic coast will recall to the minds 0f many old-time “Down Busters," and especially to Nova. Scotians. accounts of a still greater storm that raged and ravaged that coast some sixty years ago. The superla? tive comparison is based not only on memories of tales told the writ- ’ er when a. boy in the Bluenose pro- I vlnce, but upon records of that, 19th-century storm published by and available for consultation at the Royal Canadian Institute, Tor- onto, and probably also at any good reference library.

The storm was called the "Saxby Gale," because about a. ycer before it occurred a Lieutenant Saxby, of the British navy, had predicted that on October 5, 1869, the earth would be visited by a. storm of un- usual violence, attended by an ex- traordlnbrily high and destructve tide. On account of the tidal ac- companiment, which proved un- precedented in power and devasta- tion, the event became better ' known as the Saxby tide, and has been so termed in the Mlaritimes t0 this d iy. According in the Institute account, which the writer of this sketch consulted some time ago, the lieutenant, through the London press, in September, lacs-u month before the occurrence-warned mar- iners against the coming gale, and advised officials on land to repair see/walls and otherwise to prepare as far as humanly possible to meet prospective disaster. '

Lieutenant saxby quite naturally was laughed at by most persons who heard or read his warnings and prophecies. some attention was paid to him in England, but little heed was paid and little or no pre- paration made on this side of the Atlantic. But the prediction come true Remarkably so. The gale was fierce and wild in severity and destruction and the tide rose many feet above any preceding mark.
