Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. John River, the Rhine of America The St. John of the present is more than a typical modern seaport. She is to all of New Brunswick and portions of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia - to Acadia in short - the key of trade and travel. Laid prostrate by the fire of 1877, she merely got up and fought her hostile destiny to a finish. To-day the indomitable energy of her citizens has made her not only the principal entrepot of Eastern Canada, but the Winter Port of the great lakesand the west. Her wide, straight streets, carved through the solid Devonian rocks, flanked by massive build ings of brick and stone, are the monuments of a people who know no such word as failure. The population of St. John is nearly fifty thousand; her public and private edifices would adorn a city of much larger size, and her future is assured. Year after year the fleet of ocean tramps grows larger, and the long lines of freight cars, laden with the products' of the infinite west, crowd thicker and closer on the harbor front. Within the past four or five years there has been spent in the city of St. John in harbor im provements by way of grain elevators and wharf facilities. An Imperial dry dock is now being projected that, it may be guessed, will knit still closer the ties that bind the city of the Loyalists to the vast ocean empire of Great Britain.
