The j^ateways into this empire of fish and ,i;ame are stnni!:; alont;' the Ottawa and .St. Lawrence rivers for twelve hundred miles, and to attempt, in the space of a chapter, to particularize the merits of each and every one of the hundreds of localities now accessible to the sp(jrtsman, would be absolutely impossible. 1 can only, in the briefest way, call attention to some of those districts lyint; upon the border land that afford the greatest measure of sport with the minimum effort to reach them. ruder the able direction of the Honorable S. X. Parent, Commissioner of Lauds, Forests and Fisheries for the Province of Quebec, a vast area of the public domain has been set aside for the exclusive benefit of the anj^ler-sportsman. The formation of fish and game clubs has been encouraged by granting them leases of territorv at a mere nominal figure. The individual has also been cr.red for by the issuing of liceu.ses to non-residents, that entitle them to the privileges of hunting and fishing over all the unleased ])ortion of the Crown lauds, a very kingly territory in extent. And more than this has been done for him ; the Laurentide National Ciame Park has been establi.shed by the Government, and within this domain the American .sportsman is provided with guides, canoes and camp outfits by the guardians in charge, and every effort made to insure his comfort and provide him good sport. In another chapter of this booklet will be found a full de.scription of the ixirk and the laws governing it. If leaseholds are desired by individuals or clul>s for tlshing or hunting privileges, the Department of Lands and iMsheries at Quebec is jirepared to furnish all information. 4 (Jii(lu(\ fill' S/^oi /^niiui' \ /.(iiiif t art.' rcaclud and iIk- limit of •-i.ltKiiuiit pa^srd.

V V V Che Caurcntiaes national Park in tbc Province of Quebec. This is one of tlie greatest forest and ^anie i)reserves in tlie world Tlie Provincial (Government has set aside over two thousand five hundred scfuare miles of the public lands, for the pro- pagation and perpetuation of the species of '■^■aww indigenous to the country. The management of the park is under the direction of the Commissioner ( f Lands, l-ore,sts and lM>heries, th.e Honorable S. X. Parent, who is also mayor of Quebec. The southerly boundary of the park reaches down to within twentv-five miles of the city of Quebec : that to the north is the Chicontimi (Grande Ligne : to the west, the Rive. IJatiscan and the Lake St. John Railway ; to the east, the River Saguenay. The more i^recise boundary will l)e found in the extracts from the act creating the park. The more important rivers taking their .source from lakes within the park, are the Jaccpies Cartier. vSt, Atnie, Tourilli, Meta- betchouan, Lpikanba, Boisvert, ^Llrs, Murray and the Montmo- renci. The great divide, from which these waters ilow to the four cardinal i)oints of the ci^npass, is literally ])eppered with lakes big and little, in chains of unknown length, where one may canoe lor davs at a stretch, and fish until the arm drops helpless. If the excursion is in autumn, when the forest-clad .shores are flaming in gorgeous crimsons, the rifle will alternate with the rod, and a caribou or moose is likely to gladden the heart of him who .seeks. The .southwest, west, northwest and north edges of the park have been leased to iish and game clubs as a greater mea.sure of protection foi the fish and game within the park. These organ- izations are all directly interested in the increa.se of fish and game. They are jealous guardians of their own lea.seholds, and this means a cordon of keen watchfulness around the park, .so that poaching or killing of game out of sea.son is rendered almost impo.ssible. The whole of the unleased territory within the i)ark, some fifteen hundred scpiare miles, is open to the American or Canadian sportsman, subject onl\- to such reasonable regulations as every HON. S.

The most readily accessible section of the park to the visitin<;;^ sportsman, not a member of some game club, is that known as the Jacciues Cartier River portion, it is reached by wagon rc^ad from Quebec, and is di.stant twent\-five miles to liayards, a capitally managed little hotel for visiting sportsmen, Mr. C^.eo. C(.>lvin, one of the park guardians, resides here, and one of his duties is to su])ply sportsmen, who present them.selves with the necessary permit from Mr. \Vm. C. Hall, the park superintendent, with guides, canoes, tents and camp kits. The charges for guides and outfits are the most rea.son- fible. Permits, and an\- other information, and arrangements for a fishing or hunting trip within the jiark ma>- be had by addressing Mr. Hall, care Department of Lands, Forests and iMsheries, Quebec, province of Quebec, Canada. Lake Jaccjues Cartier, which is likely to be the ultima t/iule of a fishing or hunting excursion, is the source of the river of that name, and is famous for tlie si/.e of .he brook trout that inhabit its waters. John Burroughs, than whom no name is more familiar to American readers, thus records his impressions of Lake Jacques Cartier, in the pages of "The Century Magazine" : ' ' We made an excursion from Little Lake Jacques Cartier to the Great Lake, poling up from the les.ser lake in the rude box boat, and presently .saw the arms of the wilderness opened and the long deep blue expanse in their embrace. We rested and gladdened our eyes with the singularly beautiful prospect. It was like a .section of the riud.son below the highlands, except that these waters were bluer, and the.se shores darker. We found such pleasure in simply ga/ing upon the scene, that our rods were quite neglected. We did some casting after a while, and the trout resjjonded so freely that ' di.sgu.st of trout ' was soon upon us.' ' /s^-'t^ OiK-bcr, the SpO)ts}iians Laud of Plenty. II Qame Ti$l) in tbc Province of QueDcc. Salmon.— Every tributary of the vSt. Lnwrence, both on the north and south shores below Quebec, and all the rivers emptying into the Bay of Chaleurs, unless impeded at or near their mouths by impassable falls, are resorted to by the salmon. Many of these rivers enjoy an international reputation for the magnificent sport they yield, and some noted clubs own or lease rivers in the province. There are .itiil some unlea.sed rivers, and any information regarding them will be furnished on application to Mr. L. Z. Joncas, the .superintendent of Game and Fisheries, Quebec. OrANAXieiii'. — Thisgamyand magnificent member of the salmon family is an inhabitant of Lake vSt. John, its tributary waters, and the Grand Discharge. From May until the fifteenth of September, it affords a sport that is only equalled by that of sal- mon fi.shing. Lake St. John, the Grand Discharge, and many of the tributary rivers, are open waters for all comers. The Quebec and Lake St. John Railway will land the visiting anglers at Roberval, on the shore of the lake. From thence he has the choice of many waters within accessible distance ])y the .steamer that plies on the lake. l^RooK Tkoi-t.— There are but few rivers or lakes in the province that do not contain this beautiful fish, from the gamy little fellow of a pound or under to the monsters that are found in tlie larger lakes, ranging up to nine and ten pounds. It is no exaggeration to .say that most of the rivers and lakes, l)Ut slightly removed from civilization, fairly teem with the brook trout. Larch Gkicv Tkotr, LrxcK, Tori.ADi, Land-locki-i) Sai.- ■\,Q-v; — 1,1 the larger lake waters of the Province, this fish is abundant, and in many lakes grows to an immense si/.e.

Bi:.vvHK. — The Government has wisel>- prohibited the killing or capture of the beaver until the first of November nineteen hundred. It is in consecpience increasing rapidl\ in many sections, notably within the limits of the Laurentide Park. The writer, on his angling trips, Jiis pa.st year or two, has found several families of these interesting animals domiciled in the lakes he has fished. Tlie\- were an unfailing source of interest. Ottkk. — All the rivers in the Pro- vince are more or less frecpieiited by the otter, which is verv destructive to the fi.sh, but, as its fur is exceedingly valuable, its cap- ture is prohibited during part of the year.
