Kvery encouragement is given to manufacturers to locate in or near the city, and there is a population of about So.cxx) people to draw from for the labor supply. The streets are kept in good condition, the Dominion Government is spending considerable in beautifying the city, and some of the drives are models of beauty. The public buildings are such that any city might be proud of. The magnificent parliament buildings are among the most beautiful structures in the world. They are perfect specimens Lac dr* Itlet, Gatlneau. of Gothic architecture, and were built at a cost of over $5,000,000. The comer stone of the buildings was laid in i860 by the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VII., and the stone is gladly shown to tourists ; it is within thi* Senate building, which is always open to the public. From the top of \'ictoria Tower a splendid view of the varied scenery of the country around Ottawa may be had. The Lauren- tian hills are to the north, while east and west flow the Ottawa and Rideau rivers. The latter enters the Ottawa over a beautiful fall. Ottawa has an assured future from a commercial point of view, because of the fact that the Dominion Government spends annually over a million dollars in salaries alone, while the matiuracturers of the city also spend millions. OTTAWA AXa ITS SURK'UNDINCS A Gllmptc of Paugan Fatli, Oatincau. • THB GATINBAU Glimpses of the Gatineau call up visions of the awful and mysterious halo which surrounds the virgin forest and stream. After crossing the Ottawa river over the Inter- provincial bridge, by the Ottawa Northern and Western P ".ilway (now part of the eastern division of the Canadian Pacific Railway), stretching far and wide over the horizon from the north shore, loom up the dusky shades of the Laurentides, deso- late and forbidding, as it were a wall between us and the fertile lands and placid lakes beyond. The train for sixty miles follows a sinuous course, ever delighting the eye with a panoramic exhibition of scenic beauties which is enchanting. " Woodland scenes and silvery voices, And a forest camp by a crystal stream." The lakes teem with fish — red and grey trout, and the gamey black bass — which delights the soul of the angler, In the early spring the sportive trout is quite the fancy, and is eagerly sought after. Then comes the black bass season, later on ; and, fina'' . the hunting season, when the forests are r» - in their richest autumnal tints. Then it is that the sportsman buckles on his armor and makes war upon the moose in the north country, the red ilTTAWA AND ITS SlkROIMUNdS 5 deer nearer civilization, and the black duck, a'-t- ridge, etc. , at more convenient points. ALGONQUIN PARK Algoiuin Park, con^irising .,000 s({uare miles of highlands, lakes and riv .3, i one, only, of nature's playgrounds along the lir.. uf the Canada Atlantic Railway. This vast extent of practically virgin wilderness has been aptly been termed ' Lakeland," and the Canada Atlantic Railway penetrates it for almost two hundred miles. Owing to the rugged nature of the country, the route of the railway follows the water-ccurses, ind the consequence is that the line skirts the borders of over seven^ lakes, winds along the banks of many rivers to their source, presenting a liarming outlook from the car windows, mile after raiiC, thi only change being, from time to time, a dash thiongh a belt of majestic pine and hard v-Z^d foreak, ".'ffi- cient to relieve that weariness whi< jssibly foi.ows a surfeit of au> one phase of nature, no matter how grand or imposing.

Impressions of tourists who have spent some time in this magnificent country are now appearing in contributions to the press, magazines, and in papers presented to institutes, naturalist clubs, etc. , extracts from which are taken. "The predominant charm of Algonquin Park is not the scenery, so varied and picturesque, nor the forest, with its clean and open hardwood, its crowded mixed timber, and its solemn pineries, nor the lakes. Chaffey't I^cks, .tideau Canal. teeming with fish, nor the climate, nor the beasts and birds, but the greatest and abiding charm is the harmony with which every phase of nature conspires to please. " ' Age cannot wither her ; nor custom stale Her infinite variety.' "The dominant characteristic of scenery is a quiet beauty, restful and refreshing to the wearied nerves of the toiler in our too strenuous civilization. There are lakes everywhere, few of them large, but all of them beautiful, their clear, cool waters, well Stocked with trout. They lie like mirrors amongst the wooded hills. The streams connecting them are for the most part navigable by canoe, and the portages are neither long nor difficult. The divides OTTAWA AND ITS SURROUNDINOS between the different water systems are easily crossed, and there are often two or more alternative routes between two given points." RIDBAU I^AKBS Among the many great waterways which Canada boasts of is the chain of lakes and rivers lying between Kingston and Ottawa, and none seems Ou Indian Kiver, Peiiiliroke. to have attracted the tourist within the past few years to a greater degree than what was originally termed the Rideau Chain of Lakes. To the lover of nature this locality appeals in more ways than one. The region is replete with vislas of wondrous beauty, and rapid transitions are quite common on the Rideau and impress one with thoughts never to be forgotten. In the past this waterway has been known as the Rideau Canal, a name which was as out of OTTAWA ANP ITS SIRKOIXDIM-.S Channel through Islands in Davis Lake, Ride«u Lakrs. place as it is foreign to the route. Instead of a canal, it is a series of beautifully-bordered lakes and rivers connecting the St. Lawrence river with the Ottawa. The distance between Kingston and Ottawa is i26!{. miles. The canal portion of the route is short, and was constructed by the British Govern- ment as a military work in 1830, at a cost of five million dollars. If, in time of war, the navigation of the St. Lawrence were interrupted, this canal, in conj;;nction with the Ottawa river, would furnish direct communication between Montreal and the great lakes. It would not be out of place to refer here to the excellent steamboat service operated by the Rideau Lakes Navigation Company, Limited, which has done a great deal to popularize this charming route. The fleet at present includes the "Rideau King" and the " Rideau Queen.'" They are both 112 feet in length, and built especially to meet the require- ments of this route, the " Rideau Queen " being the r Looking down Crantierry Lake from Jonea' Falla, Rideau Lakes. lo OTTAWA AND ITS SIT KROVN DINGS more modern, having been launched late in the season of 1900. THE UPPBR OTTAWA A more beautiful summer trip cannot be found in America to compare with the route of the Upper Ottawa river between Pembroke and Des Joachims, a run of forty-five miles through unrivalled scenery, combining the loveliness of the famous Thousand Islands with the grandeur of the celebrated Sague- nay. The magnificent steel steamer "Victoria," operated by the Pembroke Navigation Company, Limited, makes regular trips between the two points mentioned. Jonei* Falli Locks Rideau Canal. The tired and overworked denizen of the city and the man who has that "tired feeling " can find rest, health and happiness in this beautiful district. The pine-clad hills of the Laurentians permeate the air with health-giving ozone, and renewed vigor is given to all who visit the region. No gorgeous palaces are in evidence to sully the view, and nothing mars the natural beauty and grandeur of the scenery. Capital boating and fishing can be had all along the route. The shores along the river are bold and rocky, and rise to quite a height on both sides, crowned with immense pines, many of which throw their branches far over the water, affording shelter alike from srn and sudden shower. Pebbly beaches furnish excellent landing-places for OTTAWA AND ITS SURROl'NDINGS row-boats. The surface of the river is broken up with hundreds of islands, scattered irregularly, so as to nresent to the tourist who may be drifting over it an ever-varying series of enchanting 'lews. Now the boat glides safely along under some rocky shore, so near that you may seize the dowp-stooping forest branches. Anon some tranquil inlet opens, revealing the primitive fisherman s snug cottage and his trimly-painted skiff curtesying to the waves in some protecting nook. Again the scene assumes more wild and primitive features— craggv ledges grown grey in opposing the gale, bold promon- tories surmounted by trees of gigantic proportions, Ions reaches of glimmering sand-beach ; and then there are forests, embowered coves and grassy open- ings that have known no changes save such as nature has wrought for ages, inviting them to their cool retreats. In short, the tourist may sail through this labyrinth of scenic grandeur, amidst ever- vary- ing but always interesting surroundings. \.

The Canadian Pacific Railway touches all points of beauty and interest in Canada, and connects them easily with the United States. More and more visitors come year by year, attracted by the myste- rious windings of Lake Memphremagog and the woods that clothe Mount Orford and Owl's Head. There is much good fishing and small game shooting, and the region can be conveniently reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which makes connections with the Boston and Maine and Grand Trunk rail- ways at Sherbrooke, and itself runs from here through Maine and to St. John, N. B. Ontario, too, is threaded by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and with Toronto and Peterborough, im- portant places on its line, the way to the Kawartha Lakes and the Thousand Islands lie naturally over its tracks. The easiest way to visit these two de- lightful spots would be to travel by the Canadian Pacific Railway to Peterborough over the main line between Montreal, Toronto and Detroit, and then, after spending a few days in the charming solitudes of the lakes, go on to Toronto and take the sail from there through the Thousand Islands. These come to an end just above Brockville, and a most pleasant stay can be made for a few days at that pretty town. From it there are many canoe or yachting trips to be made through the islands, and thus visitors get to know and enjoy their ever-changing views of wooded isles and peace- ful river with a thoroughness and restfulness im- possible from the deck of a steamer. Copies of "Summer Tours," embracing the entire line from coast to coast, " Fishing and Shooting," "Sportsman's Map," and "Hints About Camping," valuable guides and handbooks to anglers and sportsmen, may be had gratis upon application to any representative of the company.
