made our headquarters. 1t occupies
commanding position on elevated
ground overlooking the lake, from
which it shows up finely. The grounds
| are spacious and quite extensive. Its
rooms are large and comfortable, and
the table good. From the rooms fine
| view of the country, the town and the
! lake is obtained.
The following day we drove in the
! morning to the reservation of the Mon
| tagnais Indians, who are somewhat CIV
| ilized. This reservation Is at Pointe
| Bleue, three miles from Roberval. 1t
is quite interesting We went on fur
| Their and stopped at the Hudson Bay
| company's trading post store. Here
| fine furs, moccasins, etc, may be OBJ
| tanned In the afternoon we drove to
| the Ouiachouan Falls, two hundred and
| thirty-six feet in height, six miles
| from the hotel. They rival In height
| the Falls of Montmorency.tI is a mas
eive torrent of water wildly plunging
over a precipice of gigantic proper

We spent Sunday at Roberval, and
early Monday morning, August goth,
took the steamer Mistassini across
Lake st. John, to the Grand Discharge
at the head of the lake, distance of
twenty-five miles. Lake st. John Is cir
cular in shape, being eighty-f1ve miles
in circumference and the scenery along
its shore is charming. 1t is fed by
several very large rivers The steamer
sailed to the Island house on an island
of the Discharge, where we landed and
had dinner after which we took canoes
through the Discharge and the Rapids
in the Mistassini river. Each canoe is
propelled by two French oarsmen with
a paddle. Each canoe carries only two
passengers, seated on the bottom of the
boat. The passage of the Rapids Is
quite exciting, and decidedly novel. Re-
turning to the Island house we took the
steamer and returned to Roberval, ar
irving about p m. That evening we
left Roberval at 8 o'clock for Chicou-
tint. on the Saguenay river, where we
spent the night, at the Chateau Sague-
ray, large and imposing, well-kept
hotel The next morning, after inspect
ing the town, we took a steamer on the
Saguenay river for Quebec. Had
charming sail down the river, passing
quite near Capes Trinity and Eternity,
most stupendous promontories boldly
protruding into the river opposite each
other Cape Trinity rises perpendicu-
larly from the river level eighteen
thousand feet, while the water is two
thousand feet deep at this point Cape
Eternity is more than hundred feet
higher than Trinity. The steamer stops
at st. Aphonse in Ha Ha Bay, l. Ansa
ST. Jean, or st. Johns Bay, below the
Capes, and arrived at Tadousac about
p. M, where the boat remained three
quarters of an hour. While at Tadou-
sac we landed and visited the oldest
little church built for the Indians In
Canada, in 1850. A small admission is
charged I registered, as all visitors
are expected to do, and was allowed to
ring the bell. The town Is quite pretty.
The government maintains a large sal
mon hatchery here. There Is large
hotel near the old church. After leav-
ing Tadousac the steamer crossed to
Riveriere du Loup, or Wolfe river, on
the ST Lawrence River distance of
twenty-five miles, Tadousac being at
the mouth of the Saguenay. Leaving
Riviere du Loup. the steamer crossed
the river again to Murray Bay a dis
lance of thirty miles. where there Is a
large hotel. Then we proceeded on to
Quebec, where we remained day,
thence on to Montreal, for day, leav-
ing there on the oath for Hotel Cham
plain on the lake of that name. We
crossed the boundary line between Can
ada and the United States just before
reaching Rouse's Point, which we
