THE DALHOUSIE REVIEW NOVA SCOTIA CANADA'S EASTERN GATEWAY NOVA SCOTIA is the nearest Canadian Province to Great Britain. As the oldest estab­ lished Province of the Dominion, it has more to offer the newcomer from the standpoint of social conditions, than the newer Provinces of the west. There are other important reasons, however, why British people should settle in Nova Scotia. NOVA SCOTIA has the most basic resources for industrial development of any portion or the American Continent. While her industries are expanding rapidly, agriculture still remains of prime importance and last year the Province was favored with crops to the estimated value of over $26,000,000.

Nearly a million acres of land not yet planted are suitable for orcharding. NOVA SCOTIA has strong local markets and unexcelled opportunities for exporting. Her ports, a number of which rank among the most accessible and safest harbors in the World, are near to the great international trade routes. NOVA SCOT[A, unlike the great prairie Provinces of Canada, the development of wbieh depend very largely upon one or two resources, presents the greatest variety of Agricultucal.

S. ii THE DALHOUSIE REVIEW 1 Graham Bell was Almost One of Ourselves JT is, perhaps, of peculiar interest to Canada and Canadians that the civilized world is paying homage to Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the Telephone. When in 1870 his constitution began to weaken under the trying climatic conditions of Edinburgh, Scotland, his birth place, it was to Brantford, Ontario, he came in search of the vigour that was threatening to leave him. It was at Brantford that he conducted the . researches which put him on the road to his great invention; which he made the centre of development of the Telephone by theoretical reasoning, and there it was the idea of the Telephone was conceived. It was between Brantford and Paris, eight miles away, that the first long-distance message was transmitted. When, in the evening of his days, the inventor sought solace and rest, it was to his beautiful estate of Beinn Bhreagh in Cape Breton he turned his steps. Now, his day's work over, the ashes of the inventor, wh9, by his great achievement, did so much to draw his fellow creatures closer together and to make them happier and their lives better, mingle with the dust of his much beloved Cape Breton.
