INCREASE IN BARS BRUSSINB T0 ISLAND

1150. Cars Crossed From Tormentine During July.

An increase of 101 motor cars crou- ing from Tormentine to Borden for the month of July is reported by the Publicity Association from figures compiled by the railway authorit- ies. In the month of July, 1928, 1049 cars crossed on this route, the figure for July, 1929 being 1150. ‘This is an encouraging increase, especially in view of the fact that the loss of the Victoria Hotel was calculated to cf- fect the traffic somewhat adversely this year. The number of cars crossing on the Hochclaga is not yet available.

Therc was a. slight decrease in the number of cars crossing in June this year as compared with the corres- ponding month for 1928, which was attributable tp the fact that the June 1928 traflio was exceptionally heavy, that being the month in which the Canadian Medical Asso- ciation met in the Province.

Simon has just received news of the record breaking figures for the month from hi! laeot at Pictou.

During the month of May and Juno the amount of travellers using the boat was comparatively small. The large increase in July it was stated, is a splendid indication of increased tourist business in the Marltlmce.

A continued increase in the num- ber of tourists using this service to reach Prince Edward Island and ro- turn from Pictou is anticipated dur- ing the month of August.

'.i‘he scout answer to the downpour was to break out in rain- ooate, ponchos and slicker: of all kinds and to carry on with cheers. The gathednz of the troops of boys from 42 nations on the parade ground for the rally today however, developed into a very damp job. Just before noon Sir Robert Baden- Powell, chief scout and. Lady Powell, the chief guide, made a tour of the camp with their three children. Peter, who is a scout; Betty, who is a brownie, and Heather, who is a girl guide. Following the downpour of rain the wind blew down the ex- hlaitlon tent back of the grandstand shortly before one o'clock. within five minutes troops of scouts were at work.

ST. JOHN, July 3I.—Arrang2ments for three very important meetings are now being made by the Saint John Board of Trade. These are a proposed conference of Maritime Senators at Charlottetown; the third annual get-together conference of fanners and buslnes men and the annual meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade.

‘The conference of Maritime Sena- tors has been discussed with several, and all have been enthusiastic about such a gathering. At this conference, which it is proposed to hold in the historic chamber in which Confeder- ation was agreed to, the economic handicap under which these pro- vincea are laboring and steps which might be taken to remove these handicaps will be discussed. The meeting will probably last for at least two dlys and will likely be held in loptombor.
