 eANDOUR is always a charming attribute, and that is 
 why I want to tell you at the very outset that my 
 object in writing this sketch is to endeavour to per- 
 suade my readers to experience for themselves the beauties 
 of the Ottawa Valley. It is no new story that I have to tell, 
 for it is now nearly three centuries ago, in the year i6ro, 
 since Champlain first sent his men up the Ottawa to learn

 e characteristics of the country and its peo])le. These 
 hardy explorers returned to their great chief with marvel- 
 lously thrilling tales of the beauty and grandeur of the 
 country through which they had travelled. Their great 
 
 M 
 
 
leader was so fascinated by their recitals, that he made up 
 
 his mind never to cease his elTorts until he had explored tlie'***'"^'''^ 
 
 route for himself, hoping, as he did, to find at the end a^"^ P°*

 which so many had sought in vain. It was not long before****"^'"'

 'which the Indians so appropriately named Asticou, or 
 the Cauldron, and to wl ich Champlaiii gave the name 
 of the Chaudiere. Here, where now the products of

 [the great Canadian forests are made to contribute to the 
 wealth of the coimnerce of the Dominion, were then on 
 ler side thickly wooded hills, between which the raging 
 Iters tmnbled tunmltously in a mass of foam and mist. It 
 a place to naturally evoke the superstition of the 
 lians, who ever at the Chaudiere sought to propitiate the 
 ^rits of the waters by ofTerings of tobacco. 
 
 Thence onward through the noble expanse which we 
 
 Ew call Deschene Lake, and through the lakes and catar- 
 :s of the Chats, the expedition reached the Allumette, 
 
where Chainiihiiii remained for some time. stu(lyiiij{ tl 
 habits and customs of the Indian inhabitants. Here he di ^ 
 covered, as he thought, that it would be idle to attempt ' 
 explore further in the hope of findinj^ the route to the wes 
 and after a time he returned, disappointed no doubt, y 
 full of the beauty and j^randeur of aM that he had seen. 
 
 So it is no new tale that I have to tell. Ivver since tl 
 days of Champlain the Ottawa has been the main highw; 
 for thof.e hardy adventurers who were the founders 
 Canada in their explorations westward ; but once the ma 
 centtes of ])opulatioii are passed the j^reat exi)anse of ter 
 tory still preserves its primeval beauty and jjjrandeur.

 OTTAWA, the Capital City of the 
 Dominion of Canada, is the natural 
 centre of the district which I would 
 describe. Beautifully situated on a 
 hi,i,di bluff at the junction of the 
 Ottawa, (ratineau and Rideau Rivers, crowned l?y the mat,'- 
 nificent group of Parliament Huildings. which arc justly the 
 pride of every true Canadian, with lovely parks and drives, 
 and abounding in historic associations and points of interest, 
 there is no city where the tourist can spend a more delight- 
 ful week. Railroads run to and from ever}' side of the citv, 
 and steamers plying on the different water-stretches, make 
 its access easy and delightful. As a starting point for the 
 sportsman or tourist, wherever he may wish to go, no place 
 could be more desirable. Needless to say the hotel acconi- 
 nicdation at the Capital is all that can be desired. 
 
 The stranger in Ottawa will fiud its citizens proiul of 
 their city, and glad to assist him in seeing its attractions. 
 By calling at the oflice of the Tourists' Association he will 
 be able to obtain complete information as to the points of 
 interest of the city, as well as the surrounding country, and 
 no effort will be spared to make his visit enjoyable.

 There can be no more pleasant day's 
 outing than a trip down the Ottawa 
 River on one of the commodious 
 steamers which ply to and fro there 
 every day. The scenery is very fine, 
 the T,aurentian Mountains forming a picturesque background 
 to the un(hilating hills which skirt the shore of the river for 
 many miles. Many of the villages along the way preserve 
 the quaint customs of the early part of the century, the 
 ciTect upon a stranger being most fascinating.

 It is not my purpose, in this short sketch, to attempt to 
 even call attention in detail to the many points of interest 
 throughout the different parts of the Ottawa Valley. Each 
 in itself wouhl well deserve a book, and the reader who de- 
 sires to go further into the subject may obtain complete in- 
 formation by addressing the Secretary of the Tourists' 
 Association at Ottawa. For the present, I need only say 
 that the tourist through Canada who fails to take the trip 
 down the Ottawa River misses one of the most beautiful 
 trips on the continent.

 can be taken in numbers, and in the lonely 
 forests are moose, caribou deer, bear, grouse and other game, 
 at man\- points as plentiful as when only the hardy voya- 
 geurs and the pioneers of early days invaded their sanctu- 
 aries. The Uc des Chats, the Madawaska, Allumette Lake, 
 Ouiseau, Deux Rivieres, the Mattawa, the Kippewa, Temis-

 really be seen to be appreciated.

 Laurentides the country abounds in lakes and streams, in 
 which the fishermen delight. Trout and bass are to be 
 found everywhere, and never did nobler quarry test the 
 spring of a rod. As a game country, too, this territory will 
 
15 
 
 •e found second to none. Cotnniunici'ion is easy, acconi- 
 niodations good, and the people hospitable. It is rare 
 indeed for a sportsman to return from "up the Gatineau " 
 with a feeling other than one of the most thorough satisfac- 
 tion. 
 
 It is only within the past few years that there has been 
 railroad connnunication into this country, and to the sports- 
 man it is as yet practically virgin territory. A glance at the 
 map on another page will give some idea of the almost num- 
 berless lakes and rivers in the district, though only the 
 larger ones could be shown. All of these abound in fish, 
 and no matter how great the influx of fishermen may be, it 
 nnist be many years before they can connnence to feel the 
 effect. The Provincial Government, keenly alive to the 
 im])ortance of the preservation of fish and game, has adopted 
 most excellent regulations, the enforcement of which has 
 been placed in the hands of capable officials. The sports- 
 man may depend upon it, that in visiting the valley of the 
 Ottawa for fish or game he will not be disappointed.

 The inagiiificeiit stretch of 
 couiitry lyitig along tht' east- 
 shore of the (ieorgian Bay, 
 which has for so many years 
 been a favorite haunt for the 
 sportsman, has been made naturally tributary to Ottawa by 
 tlie new railway connection, and may now be almost looked 
 upon as a part of the Ottawa Valley. The palatial steamers 
 of the Upper Lakes connect with the trains from (Ottawa, 
 iiiid no more pleasant sunnner trip could be thought oi than 
 tlie rail and water tours arranged over this route. It h.is for 
 the present the great advantage of being out of the beaten 
 Irack, although it is safe to predict that in a very short time 
 this route will be as well known to the tourist as Niagara or 
 llie Saguenay. Illustrated literature descriptive of this dis- 
 trict may be had on application to the Tourists' Association.
