 about iHH.j at St. Jerome, and was slowly pushed eastward until it reached 
 Montcalm, a distance of twenty-eifjht miles. 
 
 In the meantime a raihv; y, tliirty-five miles in length, had 1«;en built 
 under the name of " The Lower l.aurentian Railway," running from Riviere 
 a I'ierre to a junction with the Piles Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway 
 near St. Tite. From St. Tite. twenty miles had I)een built, under the C.reat 
 Northern charier, to St. Ronifacc. In i,S,S9, therefore, the (iieal Xorthern

 If it were not 
 for the fact of the 
 river bein^ low and 
 the Falls conse- 
 (piently far from 
 their l)est, the ideal 
 time to visit this 
 <listrict is in the late fall. The 
 foiiaKe of the trees is then in all 
 those gorgeous hues that only 
 Nature dare show. The maple, 
 with leaves ranginK i" shade from 
 the palest chrome yellow to deep 
 crimson, the ash, hendock. birch, 
 and the dark green of the graceful 
 pines, give a mass of color that 
 
 must lie seen to be appreciateil. A walk through the woods at such a 
 
 time, the grounil carpeted with crimson, is like a revelation of fairyland.
