Canada Atlantic Railway, which ex-
tends from Montreal and Swanton, via
the capitol, to the Georgian Bay, and
there connects with the company's
line of steamships running to Port
Arthur, Duluth, the 500 and Chicago,
very important transportation line
and one which offers number of de-
lightful lake and rail trips. The Cam
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
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
hers 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.
r. F. Taylor, each extending 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 its
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.
finally boarded our train a somewhat
tired but most enthusiastic party, to
start on our through homeward trip.
We made very fast run over the
Canada Atlantic to the junction with
the Grand Trunk, the Grand Trunk
also gave us almost record-breaking
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

us during most of the trip, leaving
nothing undone that could possibly
have been desired of the road. There

stay. The second morning, after a
run through. beautiful country,
through farming and timber lands
and pine forests and past lovely lakes,
we landed at Muskoka Wharf, and
wereaat that famous chain of lakes,
that brings health and strength to
thousands, and pleasure and sport to
as many more. There is something
rernarkable about the atmosphere in
the. Canadian lake region. In few
hours it will cure any cold in the
head, hay fever disappears like magic,
yigor comes to the tired body and
brain, and the,water, pure and wholly
free from alkali, has strong medicinal
properties. 1t is haven of rest, and
while this Muskoka lake region is the
center, it extends for miles and miles
through all that part of Canada. The
lakes TEEN with bass, pike, musko-
longe, the streams with trout, and the
woods are full of wild game. Last
year 10000 visitors passed over Mus
koka Wharf, while $4,000 visited this
region. This year the number will be
over 10000 At Little Pittsburgh, as
they call one resort, 500 Pittsburgers
go regularly each summer, while all
along the shores of the lakes and on
most of the innumerable islands,
which are of every shape and size, are
cottages, club houses, hotels, camps,
resorts and all sorts of inducements
for the pleasure seeker. 1t is sure to
be Canada's great resort and is al
ready strong rival of the Adiron-
dacks. Last season 5000 deer were
shipped from there, and 10000 killed
in the region. The lake transporta-
ton is fully provided for by the Mus
koka Navigation Company. Captain
Cockburn, the manager, put the first
boat on the lakes in the SOS, and his
faith has had it's reward. Now this
company's fleet of five large steam
Fers. on one of which our party of 200
was nicely accommodated and served
with meals, cover the lakes. They
call at all the clubs and island homes
and dodge in and out of the maze of
islands, where familiarity shows the
way, but where the stranger would be
lost. The captain has his own home
on one of the islands and he accom-
panied us that far on our rounds, his
daughters coming out in a pretty
launch to take him from the vessel.
The lakes are connected by narrow
rock-bound channels and one round
of so miles entering these lakes did
not by any means show all their beau
ties.
That night, which was Saturday, we
were taken via Toronto to Thousand
Island Junction on the Grand Trunk,
where, by courtesy of the Thousand
Islands Railway, short but very inn
portant train link, we were landed at
Gananoque on the ST. Lawrence. Here
we left our train with all heavy bag
gage to go on to Montreal, while we
were transferred to the care of the
Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Com
pany, whose floating palaces make
this one of their regular stopping
places. The Grand Trunk officials re-
manned with us, but we also had the
honor of having with us Mr.. Thos.
Henry, the traffic manager of the r. &,
