sing and Flint are seen, and there are
good views of the great Sanitarium,
the states capital building and the
factories and mills. Then at Port HUI
ron, the train whirls without delay
through the great tubular steel term
inal under the river, and is in Canada.
Eastern Canada is splendid coun-
try, fruitful and prosperous, and the
Grand Trunk here networked the very
best of it all. Indeed, from Detroit
and Port Huron to Buffalo, Niagara
Falls and Toronto on the south and the
Lake Huron and Georgian Bay points
on the north, there is little of rail
road Importance except the Grand
Trunk. 1t not only covers the SPLEEN
did farming country north of Lakes
Erie and Ontario, but the rich timber
and mineral region and magnificent
incession of lake resorts. Indeed,
when one stops to think, first, of what
we saw on the trip, that succession
of scenic wonder:N the Muskoka lakes,
the Thousand Islands, the ST. Law
renee rapids, Montreal, with it's hun
dreds of magnificent churches, and it's
views from Mount Royal; Quebec,
that bit of ancient Europe, and the
glorious outlook from the citidal over
the bay, with the Laurentian noun
tains in the distance; the Montmoren-
81 Falls, three hundred feet of falling
feathers; Ottawa, in many ways the
most beautiful city of Canada, with
it's Parliament buildings, which, in
the perfection of their architecture,
are not excelled on this continent;
the splendid Ottawa and Rideau river
scenery, and the Chaudiere Falls, and
things of all that was left unseen, we
wonder that any one ever travels on
any other road, save from necessity.
: But to begin our trip back at ST.
Paul, we started out with five Pull
man vestibuled sleepers and day
coach over the Chicago Great Western
road, which hes proved it's excellence
by its populaliir I'd by gathering in
passenger an lcht business in
way that starr:es it's rivals. The as

ly to Mr.. S. C. Stickney, the general
manager, to Mr.. f. III. Lord, the gen
eral passenger agent, and to Mr.. j. p.
Elmer, the local agent at st. Paul, for
great courtesy and kindness. The
Great Western handled our train
splendidly, and nothing was neglected
that would add to the pleasure of the
trip. On the return change OF
schedule made necessary breakfast
at Oelwein, where the local agent
spent tis entire night arranging that
the party be accommodated at one
sitting. This is but an example of

new world, with it's famous hostelry.

the lofty hillside, with the citidal as

Back we speed to Ottawa, the seat

line OF steamships running to Port
Arthur, Duluth, the 500 and Chicago,
a very important transportation line
and one which offers a number of de-
lightful lake and rail trips. The Can
ada Atlantic has fine roadbed and
our train made so and 60 miles an
hour on the run. We were placed un-
der especial obligation to Mr.. E. J.
Chamberlain, the general manager,
and to Mr.. j. E. Walsh, the assistant
general passenger agent, for their
kindness. The latter not only saw that
we had all his road could do for us,
but remained with us and took us in
charge on the trolley ride to Alymer.
Certainly nothing could have been
more fattering than our reception and
entertainment at Ottawa. His wor-
ship, Mayor Payment, who gave an
address of welcome, the aldermen, the
press and many distinguished MEM
bers of the government and of parlia-
ment, showed us marked attention
At the beautiful parliament buildings,
the CITY fire department, model for
such city, gave an exhibition run
and received much applause for their
fine work. Then came the ride to
Aylmer, where, at the Victoria, a
huge summer resort, lunch was
served, and address made by his wor-
ship, Mayor Rainboth, and the Rev.
X. F. Taylor, each extending a hearty
welcome. At the Queens park every
body "shot the chutes," and after a
visit to Hull and the famous Chau-
diere Falls, which it is estimated can
furnish all the motive power used by
the immense factories of Ottawa's
manufacturing suburb and million
horse power more, we returned to the
capitol. Hull is being rapidly rebuilt
but the evidences of the extent and
the destruction wrought by the great
fire are simply appalling. Ottawa is
beautiful city, and has more of the
home feeling than any other large
city we visited. In beauty of it's
buildings, and surroundings, also, it
is not excelled by any, while nowhere
was more done by prominent citizens
to make us feel the warmth of their
welcome. ..
It was, with much regret that we
finally boarded our train a somewhat
tired but most enthusiastic party, to
start on our through homeward trip.
We made a very fast run over the
Canada Atlantic to the junction with
the Grand Trunk. the Grand Trunk
also gave us almost recordbreaking
run to Chicago. We had the right of
track over everything and the time
we made was startling, running often
over sixty miles an hour. And here
we wish to extend our especial and
most sincere thanks on behalf of the
Editorial Association to the Grand,
Trunk passenger department, from
Mr. w. E. Davis, passenger traffic
manager, who replied to our first re-
quest with the laconic and most graft
flying remark, ''Mr. Elliott, give these
gentlemen whatever they want" and
Mr.. H. G. Elliott, asst general passen-
ger agent, at Montreal, who, with Mr..

over, and one that it will take the
editorial party long to thoroughly di-
gest.
For it the editorial thanks are due,
first, to the Grand Trunk Railroad,
whose officers made it possible. Never
in the history of the association has
such care and attention been extended
to it by any railroad. The editorial
train passed over part of all -four of
its passenger divisions, and every
where the arrangements for handling
it were made with the thought only
of having every detail of the service
conduce to the pleasure of the excur-
sionists and their convenience. The
Grand Trunks passenger department
is both family and machine. There
is the strongest possible personal
fealty between the members of the
force, from the humblest clerk to the
head, of this branch of the service.
Not only is there obedience to instruc-
tons, but somewhat close look into
their methods shows every one sitting
up nights and scheming off-hours to
see If somehow, some way they can
do something to further the interest
of the Grand Trunk, while every sub
ordinate knows that he can always
