 I 1 awav to the south of the St. Lawrence, and northwards as far as 
 
 the lower fringe of the Laurentian Hills, it was this land that 
 
 was the earliest brought into cultivation, and throuj^h which one 
 
 of the first iron roads in the Province of Quebec was built. This railway 
 
 (the C. P. R.). however, kept in close touch with the St. Lawrence the 
 
 greater part of the way between Montreal and (Jnebec.

 The Creat Northern Railway of Canada was chartered by .Act of 
 Parliament in 18.S2 to build a railway from (Juebec to some point on the 
 Ottawa River near Carillon, and to ojH-n a rich section of country lyinj; 
 alun>; the base of the Kaurentiaii Mountains. Construction was bejjnn 
 about iH,S4 at St. Jerome, and was slowly pushetl eastward until it reached 
 Montcalm, a distance of twenty-eij^ht miles. 
 
 In the meantime a railway, thirty-five miles in leiijjth, bail been built 
 under the name of " The Lower Laurentiaii Railway," runnin>{ from Riviere 
 a Pierre to a junction with the Piles Hranch of the Canadian Pacific Railway 
 near St. Tite. I'rom St. Tite. twenty miles h.id been built, under the C.rcat 
 Northern charter, to St. Boniface. In 1S.S9, therefore, the (".real Northern 
 
 507 
 
consisted of two separate jjortioiis, tlie eastern one twenty miles in lenj^th, 
 the western one twenty-ei<jht miles in length, with a ,gaj) of fiftv-three miles 
 hetween. The end of the western section was still thirty-live miles from its 
 projected western terminal at Hawkeshury, where it was ])roi)osed to 
 connect with the Canada Atlantic Railway, and thus form a throuj^h road 
 from Parry Sound to Quebec, and give a grain route to luirope from the 
 West, Soo miles shorter than via Huffalo and New York. 
 
 The Conij)any being reorganized in 1S99, contracts were made for the 
 building of the eighty-eight miles necessary to connect the two j)ortions 
 and extend them to Hawkesbury, the through line being completed and 
 open for trafllc in November, 19(H). 
 
 It now connects three of the largest cities in Canada. Montreal. Ottawa 
 autl yuebec ; and in doing so, taj)s all the northern ])art of that fertile 
 
 plaiti afore- 
 ' mentioned.

Mimlreal, as the iiielr<>iM)lis of 
 Canada, is tleserviiij^ of more than 
 ])assiiij; notice. I'ounded in 1642, 
 it is now a city of more than three 
 humlreil thousand inhal)itants, 
 whilst its situation at the head of a 
 navij^ahle water-way, six hundred 
 miles from the ocean, is unsur- 
 passed by any city on this contin- 
 •nt.

 from which may be viewed a scene 
 excellinj^ even that of the Town and 
 liay of Naples, troiu tlie heights of Vesuvius. Rich in architecture, squares 
 and historical si)ots. it is a city the Canadian may well be proud of. 
 
 Hut a few of Montreal's attractions can be mentioned here. St. Helen's 
 Island, Trolley Car Rides to I.achine, Back River, Cartierville, etc. Shoot- 
 ing the Rapids at Lachine, the old Chateau de Ramezay, the lovely walks 
 throuj^h the woode<l recesses of Mt. Royal Park, and visits to the many 
 fine churches for which Montreal is famous. Occasion should certainly 
 be found for a visit to the famous "Way of the Cross." in the Catliolic 
 cemetery. Placed amidst the loveliest part of the niountain, a winding 
 road, overshadowed with trees, gradually creejjs upward until the summit is 
 reached , o n 
 which is 
 erected a

 On leaving the city the railvva^• 
 runs past 
 L o n g u e 
 Pointe Hos- 
 pital, to Bout 
 (1 e 1 ' I s 1 e 
 ("The End 
 of the Is- 
 land," on 
 which Mont- 
 real is situ- 
 ated). Here 
 the waters 
 of the Back 
 River, after 
 f 1 o w i n g 
 r o u n d the 
 northern 
 shore of the 
 island, meet 
 the St. Lawrence, and a bridge three-quarters 
 of a mile in length (including approaches) is 
 being built to carry the line across to the main- 
 land. The Park at P.out de ITsle. with its 
 swings, refreshment kiosks, and the glimpses of river from its svlvan 
 walks, is the resort of many thousands ever}- week. 
 
 Leaving the Island of Montreal behind, the line runs amidst a splendid 
 agricultural countr\', noted for crops of hay and tobacco, through the town 
 of L'Assomption (a seat of learning with many manufactories) to Joliette, 
 here joining the original trunk line from Quebec to Ottawa.

 i>f the (ireat Northern Railway, need not be discnssetl, theCanatla

 town, situated on the Ottawa River, is a charinin;L; place for a

 an<l steamers run 
 rej^nlarly in the

 town itself is chief- 
 ly devoted to the 
 lumber industry, 
 bein^ in fact known 
 as " Hawkesbury 
 Mills " for close on 
 one hundred years. 
 The 1 lawkesbury 
 Lumber Company 
 have very extensive 
 mills and yar«is liere. •-* ^" "/ Olla-.va 
 
 .\nother inij)ortanl imlustry of the town is the Riordan Paper .Mill, 
 which employs over 400 hands and turns out some 100 tons per day. 
 
 Half a mile from the town the line is carried over the river by the 
 Hawkesbury Hrid«e. This piece of work was the bi}<Kest enj^ineeriu),' fea- 
 ture in the whole construction of the road -3,76s feet lonj^ and .S3 feet

 development of 
 a water-power.

 flow past the 
 town, joining 
 the Ottawa 
 lower down .

 River remained unfettered until iSSo, when the J. C. Wilson Company 
 built their paper mill (which now turns out 30 tons per da}- and raised 
 the level of the stream till a 16-foot head was obtained. The river is also 
 used for generating power to run a large woollen mill, also a pulp mill. 
 The town is distinctly pretty, with an excellent hotel on the main 
 street, a minute or so from the station. A four hours' drive will take the 
 sportsman to the Sixteen Island Lakes, the heart of a splendid shooting and 
 fishing district. Along the North River more fishing is to be had. The 
 country around is ver}^ picturesque, one particularly nice walk or drive 
 being along the north side of the North River to St. Canut (the next railway 
 station ). Winding its way through woods, and crossing foaming rivulets 
 as they rush down from the hills, the road has many charming points 
 whereat to linger. 
 
 St. Canut is a type of a very goodly proportion of the small French 
 villages in Quebec Province. /. e., twenty or thirty small cottages and a 
 
 church worthy of a town 
 of ten thousand inhabi- 
 tants. 
 
 St. Jerome, a town of 
 
 4,000 people, also on 
 
 the North River, 
 
 some eighteen 
 
 miles above La- 
 
 chute, is 
 
 another ex- 
 
 Ql ample of a 
 
water-power ami ]iros])erity Kf''"K 
 ' hand in hand. Here the J. H. 
 
 Rollaml Company have larj^e paper mills. The Hoslon Rutiher Comi)any 
 have also a nianutaclory located here. 
 
 The town l)ein»r on the new road to St. A.^allie and Kabelle, and 
 the centre of prohahly the best farminji district in the Province, 
 is in the most thrivinj^ condition. The stream runnin<; through its 
 midst, and its trees and riverside walks, make it a striking exam])le of 
 the fact that inthistrial development need not necessarily mar the natural 
 beauties of a place. The country to the north offers great inducements to 
 sportsmen, being rich in fish and game, and up to the present but little 
 explored. Tending the completion of the jMontreal-Joliette Branch, Cireat 
 Northern trains reach Montreal via C. P. R. from St. Jerome. 
 
 Hastening through the next two stations, merely i)ausing to note the 
 thriving appearance of the villages and farms, the next place worth remark 
 is New (ilasgow. 
 Here a s u i f i 
 mountain stream, 
 after a short leap, 
 cuts thro u g 1". 
 steej> banks, on 
 
 either side of ^^^__^__„ .»^j.^^_=-. 
 
 which lies the ^^^^>-^^B A^'^^^^HtuJHl j*^ '*

 and e xce lleut

 camping amidst ^SKti^t^^i^ ^^k^^^l^^i^ ^Wri-

 ful surroundings. 
 A few miles north 
 lies Lake L'.Xchi- 
 
 .1 Snifl .yfoutilain SI if am" 
 
 gan, well stocked with fish, with several small lakes aroimd. .\fter St. bin, 
 we come to St. Julienne, eight or nine miles north of which, near Rawdon, 
 
are the Uarwin Falls, on 
 the Lac Ouareau River, 
 to which the Great 
 Northern Railway are 
 extending their line this 
 snnnner. Here, with- 
 out doubt, there will 
 soon arise another bust- 
 ling town. 
 
 It will be noticed how 
 the whole country is 
 covered with farms and 
 their attendant out- 
 houses. To judge of 
 the prosperity of the 
 farmers around, a jour- 
 ney needs to be made 
 on a Saturday or Sun- 
 day, when visits are 
 being exchanged with 
 distant friends. From 
 the gorgeous silks and 
 bonnets of the ladies, 
 their respective hus- 
 bands must have either 
 a fat pocket-book or a 
 Daru'in Falls U)^ feet high\ very soft head and 
 
 heart, and appearances hardly warrant the latter pre- 
 sumption. 
 
 Between St. Julienne and Montcalm there is noth- 
 ing to attract attention, but nine miles to the north lies 
 the village of Rawdon, the centre of the best trout fishing 
 in the Province of Quebec. At Joliette connection is 
 made with the line from IMontreal. 
 
 Hawkesburv To Joi.iette — Sporting Guide to this Section. 
 
 Lachute — Twenty miles north a number of Lakes known as "Sixteen Island 
 
 Lakes," well stocked with trout and perch. Alongthe North River, bass. 
 St. Jerome — Ten or twelve miles north of here is the lake district of St. 
 
 Angelique, rich in red and grey trout ; and in the woods are red 
 
 deer, grouse and rabbits. 
 New GIvASGOW — Good fly trout fishing above the Falls. In Lake L'Achi- 
 
 gan, eleven miles away, there are bass, large grey and some red trout. 
 
 A few miles north, in the Lakes, bass are plentiful. 
 St. JuIvIENNE — Nine miles north, the Lac Onreau River has excellent trout 
 
 fishing. In the Fall, woodcock shooting in the fiat lands. 
 MoNTC.'MvM — A little back from here, lies Rawdon Village, around which are 
 
 streams and lakes containing bass, grey and red trout in great numbers.

 OI.IKTTE. ;i town of nearly five ihousainl inlialtilaiits. situated on 
 I.'Assoiuption Kiver, has i)erhaps made more practical use of its 
 river than any town in Hastern Canada. Saw mills, paper mills, a 
 foundry — wherever the different level has allowed of a workinj,' 
 head of water there is a manufactory to use it. In addition, the 
 Corj)oration uses the river to light the town, and pumj) its own water for 
 the town's supply. The saw mills of William Copping, started in iSg2, 
 alone employ over U¥> hands, and 
 handle 140,000 logs per annum. 
 The town itself contains some 
 do/en or so other manufactories 
 and several good hotels. The 
 (ireat N\)rthern Hotel, just outside 
 the station, has been newly built, 
 and is now open to visitors. 
 
 In I/Assomption River the fisherman will be rewarded fur his patience 
 and skill, by the maskinonge, dor^, etc., whilst plenty of small game are to 
 be found in the woods around. Lying thirty n'iles to the northward is the 
 Mastigouche Fish and Came Club House. The market-place remintls the 
 traveller who has visited Kurope, of some ([uaint old French town, and on 
 a market-day the chatter and animated gesticulations of the French-Cana- 
 dian add further to the resemblance. A very fine college is situated near 
 the river, set amidst grounds extending to the water's edge, almost of the 
 nature of a park. The Catholic Cathedral is also worth}- of notice, although 
 the tower mow being rebuilt 1 was blown down in a great stonn in 1901. 
 On leaving Joliette nothing in the shape of a town is to be met with 
 until Shawinigan Falls is reached. The inter\ening sixty miles, however, 
 are ver^- well sprinkled with villages and farms : St. Hii/.abeth, St. Norbert, 
 
 St. Cuthbert, and 
 St. Harlhelemi. all 
 
 Dote 
 
 Sau- Mill} and I'lilp .\hl

heing fanning; villages of fair size — a great liay-prodiicing louiilry lying 
 to the south. It will he noticed how the hills on the left are now closing 
 in nearer, the line running practically on the northern limit of the culti- 
 vateil country. When near St. Harthelenii there can he seen, far away in 
 the distance, the St. Lawrence, like a silver streak, as it makes its way 
 ocean ward. 
 
 .\ fine trestle bridge, two miles or so before St. Justin, gives warning 
 that what was the most troublesome piece of road to build is now approach- 
 ing. For the next thirty or forty miles the line traverses a country broken 
 u]i by def]> 
 gullies, which 
 necessitated 
 the construc- 
 tion of a great 
 number of 
 bridges. 
 
 Kivirre du 
 l.oup Rridge 
 
 Half way between St. Justin and St. I'rsule comes the highest bridge 
 on the road — the Maskinonge Trestle. Ttie River Maskinonge falls here 
 al)out I So feet, right alongside the track, and a bridge 1.030 feet long and 
 163 feet high was necessary to span the gap. The line crosses the u])per 
 level of the river, which then bends at a right angle atid drops nearly sheer 
 into the ravine below, turning off again at right angles as it cuts its way 
 through the table-land to join the St. Lawrence. 
 
 .\fter leaving St. I'rsule ( which lies away on the right 1 the lan<l be- 
 comes more and more Itrokcn up and wooded, and farms no longer apjiear. 
 .•\ mile or two beyond St. Paulin a grand view is to he had of the valley 
 
of the St. Lawrence, 
 lying far away below 
 ns, whilst to the left 
 are seen the Lauren- 
 lians silhouetted 
 a.L;;ainst the sky. Some 
 tell or twelve miles 
 north of St. I'aulin are 
 the club-houses of the 
 St. Bernard Fish and 
 Game Club. Before 
 reaching the next sta- 
 t i o n another long 
 bridge has to be passed 
 — the Riviere du Loup 
 ' •'>' "" ^■^'"'' "'•""' Bridge. 
 
 This bridge, 930 feet long and 128 feet high, passes over the valley of 
 the Riviere du Loup, the course of which can be traced as far as the eye 
 can reach either way, by the clean-cut defiles it has made through the land. 
 Eight miles south are the famous St. Leon Springs. Known years ago 
 to the Red-men of the forest for 
 their marvellous medicinal pro- 
 perties, their waters are now 
 shipped all over America, and a 
 palatial hotel, with accommoda- 
 tion for some hundreds of guests, MasKmonge 
 will be opened shortly. A wooded park of some sixty acres surrounds 
 the hotel, and the lovely country around, with its fishing and shooting, 
 gives it unrivalled charms as a health resort. 
 
 Charette's Mill is the stopping point for three well-known fish and game 
 clubs — vSliawinigan Club, Winchester Club and Club des Souris. More

 Joi.iETTE — Following up the river, maskinonge and dore can be secured, 
 the smaller streams holding trout. Further back among the hills, large 
 grey trout, bass. etc. Small game plentiful all round. 
 St. Cuthbhrt or St. Barthei.kmi— North of here lies the Maskinonge 
 
 Lake, on the shores of which is 
 >cated St. Gabriel de Brandon. The 
 village has two hotels. Maskinonge 
 are large and plentiful in the lake ; 
 some have been caught weighing 
 65 lbs., and they generally average 
 from 15 to 30 lbs. Within a radius 
 of ten miles are a nimiber of smaller 
 lakes and trout stieams which afford 
 excellent fishing. Be^'ond lie the 
 famed ^lastigouche Lakes, fifty in 
 number. The majority of these are 
 leased to the Mas- 
 tigouche Fishing 
 Club, which has 
 established a club 
 house on Lake 
 Simeon, and are 
 not open to the

 fifteen-mile road which follows the Mastigouche River. The country is 
 well timbered and well settled, and throughout the district there are 
 numerous caribou ; bears are occasionally met, rabbits are plentiful, and 
 there is capital partridge and fairly good duck shooting. 
 
 St. I\\i'i,iN — Twelve miles north of here is the St. Hernanl Kish and (iame 
 Club, with he.^dquarters and club house on Lake Sacconunie. (ieneral 
 W. \V. Henry, V. S. Consul, (Quebec, is President, and K. N. Sanderson, 
 of New York, Secretary. The club has a membership of fifty, controls 
 fishing rights in twenty lakes and has a hunting lease covering one 
 hundred square miles. Fishing is gixxl also in the River du l.ouj) but 
 a mile or two away. 
 
 Charkttk'.s Mii.r, — .Around here is a marvellous country for fish and game of 
 all sorts. The Shawinigan Club, with home on Lake Pizagonke, is 
 situated in as lovely a spot as could be wished for. Trout in here run 
 good weight. Back further flows the Mattawin River, which can be 
 followed down till it reaches the St Maurice, twenty-six miles above 
 Cirand Piles (a trip to be taken, however, only with exi)erienced guides • 
 Along its shores, moose, caribou and deer are fairly numerous, and fine 
 duck shooting is to be had in the autiunn. Hears are also numerous. 
 Nearer the railroad are to be found the club houses of the Winchester 
 Club and the Club des Souris. 
 
 St. B().N'1F.\CH. — Four miles from here, by good road, are several small lakes 
 teeming with trout. Permission for fishing must be ha<l of Mr. V.

 Shawixigan Falls. 
 
 TO fully gra.sp the significance of this locality it would be as well to 
 have a general idea of the St. Maurice River and its watershed. 
 vSonie four hundred miles in length, and, together with its 
 tributaries, draining an area of 18,000 square miles, it has its 
 source away back in the height of land that divides the St. 
 Lawrence watershed from that of the Hudson Bay. Its waters run for 
 
 the most part 
 rapidly, are 
 sometimes 
 deep, and have 
 navigable sec- 
 tions of con- 
 siderable len- 
 gth. The upper 
 portion above 
 La Tuque is 
 little used, but 
 from Grand 
 Pilesi ten miles 
 above Shawi- 
 nigan ) to La 
 Tuque a steam- 
 er runs regu- 
 larly all the 
 summer; a 
 
 La Tuque Falls 
 
 round trip of one hundred and forty miles, for the most part through 
 forest primeval. At La Tuque there is a fine water-fall. Some eight miles 
 above Shawinigan, at Grand Mere, the river takes a drop of forty-six feet ; 
 then, flowing along smoothly for a mile or two, some rapids known as "Les 
 Metres" are reach- 
 ed ; after which the 
 stream goes along 
 quietlyand soberly, 
 as if preparing it- 
 sel f for the maddest 
 leap it has yet to 
 make. After the 
 fall at " Achauene- 
 kame,"* as the In- 
 dians called Shawi- 
 nigan, there is but 
 one more drop at 
 " Les Gres '" (si.x 
 
 Li) and Piles

 the glittering bead and ciiiill work of the Indian women.

 River quietly loses itself in the broad bosom of the St. Lawrence at Three 
 Rivers. 
 
 This brief description of the St. ^Maurice being ended, we may now more 
 minutely study the greatest natural feature in its course. 
 
 It will be seen by 
 a glance at the plan, 
 that after sweeping 
 past the town the river 
 is divided into two 
 branches by a large is- 
 land, the main channel 
 broadening out into 
 what is known as the 
 ' ■ Upper Bay " and 
 making a considerable 
 detour before coming 
 Left Branch { iri,ii,r to the Falls. The other 
 
 branch is comparatively shallow, and in fact, in a very drv summer the 
 river bed is nearly dry. Not so, however, the Upper Bay— here the stream 
 has a depth of twenty to thirty-five feet during the greatest drought, and 
 always presents a broad expanse of water. Xearing the Falls the waters 
 flow more and more swiftly, gathering speed as the channel narrows 
 again. Then the land commences to break away and the river makes a 
 shoot forward and downward, its volume swelled bv the other branch now

 to confinement, the waters 
 dash themselves ajLjainst 
 the granite cliffs confin- 
 ing the chasm at the base 
 of the I-'alls. In these 
 cliffs have been worn 
 great caves, and consider- 
 ing the infinite time this 
 awful force has been 
 exerted, there can be no 
 doubt that below the 
 water line the rock must 
 be hollowed out and un- 
 dermined to a very con- 
 siderable ilistance. The 
 river now turns very sharply, running for about a thousand feet throu;;li 
 a narrow defile or gorge, and falling another twenty-five feet before broaden- 
 ing out into the Lower Bay. Here the hard black rock is left behind and 
 a fine sand takes its place. In the flood season the water rises some fifteen 
 to twenty feet in the basin at the foot of the Falls, owing to the gorge being 
 too narrow to carry it away (piickly enough. It is at such times that the 
 l*alls appear in their full and terrible beauty; — spray rising a hundred feet in 
 the air, gigantic waves dashing against the opposite cliffs, and the roar filling 
 the mind with a sense of the Infinite and a conviction of what ])uny things 
 we menkind are. And it has i)een advertised as " The Niagara of the East I"

 to comfort and artistic taste. 1 
 
 A wide verandah runs the length 
 
 of the front, from which the

 in 1S99, and, two years 
 later, had practically 
 c o m p 1 eted the first 
 great instalment of 
 their intended devel- 
 opment of 100,000

 canal from its high-

 the hill which falls away 
 to the water flowing at its 
 base, to give a minimum 
 head of one hundred and 
 thirt}- feet. At the end of 
 this canal is built a dam or 
 bulkhead, in the base of which 
 are set the penstocks, (or large 
 pipes), which carry the water to 
 the power house below. This canal 
 5 one thousand feet long by one 
 hundred feet wide and twenty feet 
 deep, and was excavated out of solid 
 rock. The left side is of temporary 
 character only, allowing an eas}- removal 
 when the canal is widened for further 
 power development. The bulkhead tapers 
 from thirtv-lwo feet at the base, to fifteen feet

 sufificient water to produce 5,000 horse-power in the power house below. 
 
 The Shawinigan Company supplies water through the longest pipe to 
 the power house of the Royal Aluminum Companv.

The smaller power house, belonging to the Royal Aluminum Company, 
 is very similar, but on a smaller scale, and supplies elec-

 A second power development has also been completed. It will have 
 been noticed, whilst coming along the high shore of the Upper Bay, that the 
 land suddenly narrows to a ridge some six or eight feet in wndth. On one 
 side is the St. Maurice, on the other, the land drops away one hundred and

 operating on a large scale. 
 
 The Pulp Company, as the name implies, is of Belgian origin, which 
 serves to show that the fame of vShawinigan Falls has already reached 
 Europe. Here are located what will soon be the largest pulp and paper mills 
 
 on the Con- 
 tinent, and 
 where can 
 be seen the 
 metamor- 
 phosis of a 
 tree -trunk 
 into paper. 
 The Com- 
 pany owns 
 about i,ooo 
 square miles 
 of choice timber limits in the St. Maurice watershed, and has an army 
 of men away in the backwoods felling timber, which, by the converted 
 energy of this waterfall, is to be soon after used in the shape of books 
 and papers both in America and Europe. 
 
 Calcium carbide works are situated a short distance from the town, 
 alongside the railroad, and a cotton mill will shortly give employment to 
 the weaker portion of the community. 
 
 In spite of the 
 manufactories al- 
 ready in opera- 
 t i o n , and the 
 immediate pros- 
 pects of many 
 more, thanks to 
 the natural for- 
 
niation of the place and the 
 scientific layinjj out of the 
 grouinl. the near vicinity of the 
 Falls themselves will never be 
 encroached upon ; and this is 
 to he the more wondered at 
 when the maiinitude of the 
 plan of the power develojinieiil 
 be comjirehended. 
 
 The present canals a n d 
 works are laid out for the use 
 of 75,000 horse-power, and the 
 plans call for a further 
 25,000 horse-power, mak- 
 injj a total of one hundred 
 thousand horse - power, 
 which is to be used either 
 locally or transmitted to 
 Montreal, etc. 
 
 At the present time 
 the Shawini.tjan Water 
 and Tower Co. are build- 
 ing their pole line for 
 the transmission of the 
 electric current to Mont- 
 real, where they will <le- 
 liver the cheapest lij^hl 
 heat and ])ower from the 
 larj^est power plant in the 
 world, — with the single excep- 
 tion (in size only) of Niagara. 
 A large amount of business has 
 already been secured, and the 
 ever increasing d e m a n d for 
 cheap power makes it assured 
 that but a little time can 
 elapse ere a heavy per- 
 centage of the electrical 
 energy from Shawinigan 
 Falls will be used in 
 Canada's metropolis. 
 
 When travelling by 
 the Cireat Northern Kail- 
 way from Montreal to 
 Shawinigan. the trans- 
 mission line m a y be 
 noticed running parallel 
 to the railroa<l. This fact 
 is of considerable import- 
 ance when the question 
 
 Tlf Itilgo-Caiiadum Pulp Co s Still 
 
of cost of construction and maintenance be considered. In spite of a journey 
 of eighty-four miles from its birthplace in the power-house, the electrical 
 current has lost but little of its first full power on arrival in the city of 
 IMontreal ; and when it is driving the street cars, lighting the streets and 
 houses, and operating manufactories of all kinds, then the enterprise of the 
 
 The Lo-U'sr End 
 of the Town 
 
 Shawinigan Water and Power Co. in transforming a trackless waste into a 
 prosperous manufacturing town, and making such things possible, will be 
 appreciated by both the trading communit}' and the individual. Great 
 praise must be meted out to Wallace C. Johnson, Esq., (of Niagara Falls 
 Development fame), the Chief Engineer of the Company, whose fertile brain 
 originated and carried out this huge engineering plan which has transposed 
 the first conception of what might be, into the assured success that is. 
 Nor must Messrs. T. Pringle & Son, Hj-draulic and Mining Engineers, 
 of IMontreal, be forgotten, for to them is the credit of the survey work 
 and construction of the canal, etc. 
 
 Who shall dare to limit the commercial possibilities of towns having 
 such a wealth of electrical power to draw upon : power that is cheap, and 
 power that is practically unlimited.

 Rambi.ks Around Shawinigan. 
 
 TIIl^ visitor at Shawinigaii need have no anxiety as to wliat to do 
 with the twenty-four hours of each day. Recreation can be had 
 in wajs to suit all. For a certain!}' the first objective point will 
 ])e the Falls. There, sitting on one of the many seats or lying on 
 the ground, minutes will lapse into hours before one can tear 
 themselves away. 
 
 By following the path through the trees on the right, glimpses of the 
 river tearing down the gorge are seen, the contrast of the white foam of the 
 waters and the dark green of the trees calling for continual admiration- 
 The end of this path brings into view the log slide, the top of which was 
 passed on our way to the Falls. Logs floating down the stream would 
 assuredly lose their identity in going over the Falls, and so to avoid this loss 
 the Government some years ago built a water chute. By means of a broad 
 timber boom, anchored to the river bed above the Falls, the logs are guided 
 through a funnel-shape approach to the slide, as it is colloquially called. 
 Dropping one hundred and forty feet in four himdred and fifty, it may be 
 imagined what velocity the logs acquire by the time the bottom is reached. 
 It is possible to sit right on the end of the slide, and (in the log runnings 
 season during the summer) watch one continual procession ov huge trunks 
 whiz by. An hour or two may be very agreeably spent in the charming 
 sylvan recesses of Melville's Island, taking a boat across or walking by way 
 of the boom mentioned before. The shores nearest the town are very

 Leaving the

 River for the 
 time and taking 
 the road down 
 to the Little

 River, there is 
 another cascade 
 to be seen. The 
 Little Shawini- 
 g a n River, 
 breaking down 
 
 from the hills to join the vSt. Maurice, drops one hundred and eightv feet in 
 a series of cascades. The best way of seeing these is to take a punt up the 
 river as far as is possible, and then follow the right bank. Although the 
 tourist will find it a rather rough walk he will be well repaid for his 
 trouble. The upper reach of the river, flowing between wooded cliffs, is 
 most beautiful, and can be reached by a flight of steps leading down from 
 the Great Northern Railway track or from the road to Drew's Mill. The 
 Lower Bay also offers facilities for boating, and on no account must be 
 missed a visit to " Les Gres " Falls, six miles down. Apart from the Fall

 The tourist who carries a camera (and who docs not now-a-days?) is 
 going to have a busy time around here. The writer has himself seen some 
 
fifty views of the Falls, all dififeren 
 and, what is more, all "Pictures." 
 It ma}' be remarked here that late 
 in the afternoon is the best time 
 to ^et a good picture of the Falls, 
 as the sun does not get round 
 sufficiently to lighten up the 
 dark foliage bordering the water

 Grand Mere — Riviere a Pierre. 
 
 GRAND MERE, situated about eight miles above Shawinigan, is a 
 town entirely dependent on one Compan}-. The St. Maurice 
 River here, falling some fort3'-six feet, was some years ago taken 
 in hand by the Laurentide Pulp Company, who started operations 
 in a small way in 1SS7. From time to time their works have been 
 increased, and are now a strikii:g example of what a pulp and paper 
 
 mill ought to be. 
 When it be men- 
 t i o n e d that the 
 annual output of 
 paper, cardboard and 
 pulp, amounts to 
 .'15,000 tons, not to 
 s])eak of fifteen mil- 
 lion feet of timber, 
 some idea may be 
 
Ihi' " Gi tini'iKullii'i " Koik 
 
 j^alliercil of ihe extent of their operations. To sui)])ly the enormous demand 
 for lo<;s thus created, the Comjjany has about 2,500 men out in the woods, 
 (some, hundreds of miles av ;iy ;nd ovtr i.ccohnul!- ; ic 1 11 ] 1< \ td in tin mills.

 A stream joininj^ llie St. Maurice makes a pretty little Tall just beyond. 
 
 The vSt. Mauriie ilroi)s at Grand Mere in three falls, an island divi<linj; 
 
 the river into two streams, the one nearest the works being sub-divided by a 
 
hii^e tree-jjirt rock. It 
 was from tliis rock that 
 the I'alls obtained their 
 name, one part of it heinj^ 
 most curionsly fashioned 
 by nature into an old 
 woman 's face. I' n d e r 
 certain conditions of 
 li;^hl the i)rofile is weird- 
 ly life-like, and was re- 
 j^anled by the Indians in 
 by-j(one days with mmh 
 reverence and awe. 
 
 Below the Falls the 
 river broadens into qnile 
 S/. Flo,, r.llag, ^ j^^^ ^„^1 ^jj^„ narrows 
 
 down a^jain between hijjh clifTs, where it is spanned by the Cireat Northern 
 Railway Hridj^e. The town has not nnich to offer in the way of attractions. 
 V)Ut a day or two can be agreeably spent in wandering alonj^ the river banks, 
 watching the log driving, and paying a visit to the picturesque village of St. 
 I'lore. 
 
 On leaving tirand Mere the line takes a big sweep, crossing the river 
 by a fine iron bridge eight hundred and thirty feet long, at an altitude of 
 eighty feet above the water. The scenery around is superb in its wild 
 beauty, and a sigh of regret must escape when " good-bye " is at last said 
 to the St. Maurice as the train nears Carneau Junction. Here the Canadian 
 Pacific Rail- 
 way crosses 
 the tracks of 
 the Great 
 Northern on 
 its way to 
 (irand Tiles.

 amongst others being Club Archange, St. Maurice Club and Frontenac Club. 
 The admirer of those charming natural histor_v stories 
 
 of William Davenport Hulbert, in McClure's Magazine 
 
 ("The Beaver" in particular), may, around here, have a 
 
 practical demonstration of that animal's ingenuity 
 
 and patience, as there are quite a number of places 
 
 showing evidence of their engineering 
 
 skill, to be discovered by careful search. 
 Running through 
 
 another small village, 
 
 eight miles more 
 
 brings into view a 
 
 large sheet of water 
 
 known as ' ' Lac aux

 name implies, is the 
 
 favorite haunt of these 
 
 highly prized little animals. There is a great chance here for some enter- 
 prising capitalist. Given : a lake on which boating can be indulged to

 Chapter VIII. 
 
 Riviere a Pierre— Quebec. 
 
 HIS last section of the journey is extremely picturesque, the line 
 passing through a very rugged country before leaving the hills 
 and descending into the fertile plains that bound Quebec on the 
 north. Prior to the advent of the railroad, these forest solitudes 
 were unbroken, save by occasional hunters and Indians. Now, 
 Perthius and Allen's Mill (the two next stations) show distinct 
 
 signs of set- 
 tlement, and 
 St. R;i\ mond 
 is a town of 
 2,000 inliabi- 
 tant's, with 
 several mills. 
 This town is 
 charm i n g 1 y 
 situated on 
 the River St. 
 A n n e , with 
 lofty tree-clad 
 hills s u r - 
 rounding it on 
 all sides, and 
 is the centre 
 of a splendid 
 
 A iroitt spot ou the Bastican COUntrv for 
 
 hunting. Good guides can be obtained in the town. A few miles away 
 lies the club house of the Tourilli Fish and Game Chib, which has a 
 membership of sixty, composed of prominent Canadians and Americans. 
 
 A morning's catch of speckled trout 
 
His Ivxcellency the ('.Dvenior-C.eiieral, iiml the I-larl of Ahenleen are 
 iiichuleil among the honorary nieinhers. Commodore J. V. Cire>;ory is 
 I'resiileiit. and Ceorge Van I'clson is Secretary— both t)f yuebec. The chib 
 owns iwenty-six camps, and operates, in all. one hundre<l and fifteen lakes 
 and three hundred miles of rivers and streams. In September 190I, twenty- 
 eight caribou and one moose were killed. 
 
 Passing Bourg Louis, the line follows the shore of Lake Sargent for over 
 two miles before reaching Lake St. Joseph. This lovely sheet of water, 
 which is about twenty miles in circumference, has become one of the most 
 fashionable of Quebec's summer resorts, and no wonder ; for surrounded as 
 it is bv hills, its waters full of fish, a comfortable hotel ami several small 
 
 Camps of thf TouriUi Fish ami Ganif Cluh 
 
 cottages on its shores, and, above all, only one hour from Quebec, it cannot 
 inileed fail to attract many to its locality. Fishing is both good and varied, 
 including speckled trout, lake trout, black bass, fresh water shad. etc. 
 
 Continuing south. 'St. Catherine's brings us to the point to which the 
 Great Northern Railway are building their short line from Garneau. Past 
 St. Gabriel. Jacques Cartier River is crossed, the fall of which is utilized for 
 generating the ix>wer to light the City of Quebec. In spite of the distnnce 
 from the sea, this river is famed for its salmon fishing. 
 
 Valcartier is an agricultural settlement extentling for some milts back 
 from the railway ; after which, eight tnore miles brings into view Indian 
 
Summer Co/lnges, Lake St. Joseph 
 
 Lorette, the home of all that now remains of the once powerful Huron 
 tribe. There is an extremely wild and beautiful water-fall to be seen here. 
 
 Charl es- 
 bourg, three 
 or four miles 
 from our 
 journey's 
 end, is the 
 summer resi- 
 de n c e of 
 many Que- 
 bec citizens, 
 and a typical 
 French-Can- 
 adian vil- 
 lage. Before 
 reaching 
 
 Quebec, 'the line is carried across the vSt. Charles River by a fine 
 steel swing bridge (uoo feet long), and the train finally comes to a 
 standstill in the terminus on St. Andrew Street. Here the journey ends, 
 
 a journey that gives a new scenic route 
 between Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa. 
 The geographical position of Quebec, as 
 gateway of America's chief water route, 
 opens up tremendous possibilities of devel- 
 ment, and, situated at the head of open water 
 all the year round, the " Ancient Capital " has a future that at last she has 
 begun to realize. Imagine a bit of mediaeval France placed on and about 
 a frowning cliff two hundred to three hundred feet above the water ; then 
 invest the 
 whole place 
 with the ro- 
 mance of mar- 
 tial history, be- 
 ginning with 
 the death 
 struggles of the 
 Indian nations, 
 and closing 
 with the stir- 
 ring dramas 
 that saw the 
 end of French 
 rule in Canada.

 dcrs a splen-

 me of music 
 on the Ter- 
 race, and the 
 thousands of 
 
 people (and they have some very 
 pretty girls in Quebec) make a 
 scene, brilliant in the extreme. To 
 watch the sun rise from this point 
 is a sight never to be forgotten. 
 The Great Northern tracks run 
 along St. .\ndre\v Street in the 
 
 OI,i St. John's Gate 
 
 Lower Town, across the old dock, into the huge elevator finished in 1900. 
 The grain coming from the far West is elevated and discharged into the 
 largest of ocean liners. It was here, on May 31st, 1901, that the SS. 
 "Indian" {11,500 tonsi, of the Leyland Line, loaded the largest cargo of 
 grain and general merchandise ever shipped via the St. Lawrence route. 
 The dock accommodation allows the largest boats to load, and this year 
 (1902) three different steamship lines are under contract with the Great 
 
 Northern Ry. to carry cargoes lo Kurope. 
 
 The city was at one time entirely sur- 
 rounded by high walls, pierced at intervals 
 by gateways, some of which have been 
 demolished and others replaced 
 bv more modern, and, conse- 
 quently, less interesting 
 structures. Perhaps the 
 most unique features of 
 the town now are the

 Safety 
 
 Acetylene Generators are approved by 
 
 writers. The flame is odorless and smokeless. 
 Consumes less oxygen than any other gas known. 
 Leaks in pipes can be readily detected by diffusive 
 pungent odor 
 
 Con venience 
 
 Generators are simple in con- 
 struction, easily operated, au- 
 tomatically controlled, require no attention whatever, 
 aside from charging. Space required is small. May be 
 placed in yard, stable or shed, and connected to all 
 parts of house ^with ordinary gas pipe. Each separate 
 house may have its independent lighting systeni. 
 
 *;■ Ordinary gas pipes may be used. 
 
 "^ Low cost of Carbide from which 
 
 Acetylene is made enables it to be produced for one-half 
 
 the price of ordinary gas.

 Quality 
 
 Perfect combustion produces a regular 
 and steady flame. Diffusive power — 
 softness, purity, clearness, brilliancy — exceeds all 
 other forms of artificial illumination. All colors appear 
 in^' their natural shade when seen by this light. 
 
 Calcium Carbide is obtained by an electro-chemical 
 combination of lime and coite or charcoal in a pow- 
 dered form. Acetylene Gas is generated by the 
 action of water on Calcium Carbide
