most fruitful country, and every mile
has its scenes of beauty. Passing
through a corner of Indiana, through
succession of intrusting towns, it
leaves the state at South Bend, real
ly charming city. whose busy fac
tories, pretty paved streets. fine
houses and business blocks, and PIC
turesque river, are seen to advantage
from the train. Across Michigan the
important cities of Battle Creek, Ian
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 splen-
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: the Muskoka lakes,
the Thousand Islands, the ST. Law

dreds of magnificent churches, and it's

most beautiful city of Canada, with
its 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 has proved its excellence
by it's popularity and by gathering in
passenger and freight business in
way that startles it's rivals. The as

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 a change of
schedule made necessary a breakfast
at Oelwein, where the local agent

of any size, and it and Montreal are
1000 miles nearer the wheat fields of
the northwest than is New York via
Chicago. All this tells a tale of COM
mercial wonders to be, and soon to
be. To see what is and what is to
be, to learn the Importance of the
mutual trade relations of the United
States and Canada, to form basis for
intelligent study as to what those re-
lations should be, all this, added to
the mere sightseeing, made this trip
through eastern Canada one of great
importance and of great value.
The members of the association are
deeply appreciative of substantial
courtesies extended by Hon. r. c..
Dunn, state auditor. and Col. c. j.
Monfort of the Windsor hotel of ST.
Paul, while the beautiful itinerary of
the trip presented jointly by the Kel-
logg Newspaper company, the Mime
sofa Type Foundry and the American
Press association was a souvenir that
was keenly relished and will long be
treasured by every recipient. No less
a delightful courtesy was the presen-
tation of the magnificent enameled
metallic badge presented to members
by Mr.. VIII j. White in behalf of the
immigration department of the Do
minion of Canada. It's appropriate

Falls; to Boston via Stratford, ToEon-

Stafford, and from Detroit to Buffalo
via London and Hamilton. Connec-
tions with convenient sleeper accom-
modations are also made for other
eastern points, and during, the sum-
mer through service is maintained for
Portland and Old Orchard Beach.
These trains are simply palaces on
wheels and no one going to any point
on the eastern coast of the United
States or to eastern Canada can fail
in wisdom to take this route. So per-
feet has the road bed been made that
this heavy train at the high rate of
speed, equalled by few and excelled
by no through service, rides so
smoothly that writing and reading
are pleasures, and to travel becomes
no more tiresome than sitting at
home.
The Grand Trunk has the right to
be the favorite road to the east, and to
be prosperous, because of the country
it traverses. From leaving Chicago to
arriving at any terminal, it. has

,ver, 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-
tions, but a somewhat close look into
their methods shows every one sitting

see if somehow, some way they can
do something to further the interest

ness was only equaled by its artistic
and emblematic design.
On the return trip the ladies con-
ceived the happy idea of a testimonial
to Mr.. w. j. White, the representative
of the dominion government, who had
accompanied the party on the entire
trip. None but ladies were permitted
to contribute. On reaching St. Paul
a handsome and commodious travel
ing bag with toilet utensils was pur-
chased and all of the party still in the
city gathered at the ladies' parlor at
the Windsor hotel at p. M, where
the gift was presented. Mr.. White
made a handsome acknowledgment,
expressing his pleasure at the cordial
relations existing between the associ-
alton and himself.
He not only proved a most enter
tanning companion on the trip, but
the committee wish to add their YER
bal testimonial to the practical one of
the ladies for the, assistance he rem
dered not only in planning this trip
but the one to the coast two years
ago The first one never would have
been undertaken but for Mr.. White,
and it is doubtful whether the second
one could have been secured without
his advice and assistance. He is
gentleman without reproach and
host without peer.
Before leaving Ottawa the party as
sembled in the corridor of the Russell

had taken us in special train out to
the Victoria Jubilee bridge. one of
the engineering wonders of the land.
We were accompanied by many of the
roads officials, including Assistant
Engineer McNabb, who most enter
tainingly told of the bridge built in
the SOS in the tubular form. 1t was
opened officially in 1860 by the Prince
of Wales, who drove the last riyet. 1t
was then a wonder, but the traffic
over it so increased that it had to be
rebuilt in 1878. 1t was not closed

bridge and printed for the occasion,
were given each guest.
Again that night we took our train

try we went into the Muskoka lake
region, that glorious haven of the
sportsman and the pleasure seeker;
down the beautiful ST. Lawrence,
through the Thousand Islands, to
Montreal and on to Quebec, the New
York and Gibraltar of Canada, and
then to Ottawa, the seat of the Do

O. N. Co., to whom we all were great
ly indebted for his kindly attentions
and care. The r. & o. N. Co. is to
Lake Ontario and the ST. Lawrence
what the Grand Trunk is to eastern
Canada, and they make close mutual
connections at all the principal lake
and river points. From Niagara Falls,
Hamilton and Toronto at the end of
Lake Ontario, their lines of boats, that
in size and appointments rival ocean
vessels, reach every important town
and city on both the American and
Canadian sides, to the Saguenay river
and up that to Chicontimi. There
could be no more delightful trip than
all of this route or any part of it.. The
company's boats will accommodate a
thousand day passengers and can pro-
vide sleeping accommodation for
nearly 500. 1t was on one of the
most splendid of these, the ITO

tells. And even with all the beauties
of the ST. Lawrence to fill the eyes
and attract and satisfy the mind and
heart. the stomach still remains an
important factor in the tourists
pleasure. Down the river, winding
past the multitude of islands, we
steamed, while scenes of beauty, each
more charming than the other,
brought 'Ohs" and "Ahs' and pro-
longed EXPLANATIONS of delight. On
the American side are the most i'm

but equally picturesque, and fitting

was display of magnifcance that
opened the eyes to the vast wealth
that can for mere pastime and luxury
invest such vast sums.
| At Prescott we trc nsferred to the
"Bohemian," smaller vessel that
could pass the rapids. 1t was most
comfortable, but must be staunch
and sturdy ship to stand the strain of
the succeeding rushes of water, the
Long Sault, the Coteau, the Cedar, the
Split Rock and the last and most ter
rife of all the Lachine rapids. Moth
| ing can be said or written to exceed
the reality of these rapids. Almost
between walls of stone, barely COW
cred with rushing water, with vast
| masses of rock on every side, over
which the waters tumbled and dashed
with foam and spray thrown high,
the vessel was taken until it plunged
over what was nearly water fall,
while five strong men hung to the
wheel and every one inwardly prayed
the good ships harness might prove
| faultless in it's strength and take us
| safely through. Finally we swept
around the bend and the grand city

the Dominion, came in view. We left
| the boat only regretful that we could
| not again transfer to one of the boats
| still larger than the Toronto" and
| GO on down to Quebec. Then on to
Norway Bay, which, with the Lauren
tian mountains just back, rivals
Scotland's highland beauties, and is a
] region renowned, too, for it's attrac-
tons of mountain lakes and streams.
And then Tadousac, another of the
continents famed summer resorts,
just at the mouth of the Saguenay, up
| which the boats pass to Chicontimi,
where connections are made for the
Lake ST. John region. 1t is a great
trip, this offered by the Richeleau &,

| When we took the boat four mem
bers of the Quebec Press Association,
| President G. III. Porteous, and Messrs.
John Richards and Marson met us
and proved most royal entertainers.
They had badges and programs of the
Montreal entertainment. This courte-
sy was but a forerunner of what Mon
treal held in store for us. Mayor Pre-

Major Brittinger, our consul general,
with the press, joined in greetings and
