Arthur, Duluth, the 500 and Chicago,
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 90 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 aould do for us.
but remained with us and took us in
charge on the trolley ride to Alymer.
Certainly nothing could have been
more flattering 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, a 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 'sshot the chutes,'' and after
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 S
manufacturing suburb and a 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 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

mutual trade relations of the United

the mere sightseeing, made this trip
through eastern Canada one of great
importance and of great value.

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
thousand day passengers and can pro-
vide sleeping accommodation fol
nearly 500. It was on one of the
most splendid of these, the ITO
ronto," that we were taken down
through the Thousand Islands. Our
breakfast and dinner were taken on
| the boats, and in service and cuisine
they equaled any of the famous ho-
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
provements. On Round Island and

tourists a chance to run up to the
hotels, and here our ''Oom Paul' at

has it's scenes of beauty. Passing
through corner of Indiana, through
a succession of intrusting towns, it
leaves the state at South Bend, a real
ly charming city, whose busy fac
tories, pretty paved streets, fine
houses and business blocks, and pic

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 Sanitariun,
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 a 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, Magyar
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
! the Thousand Islands, the St. Law
renee rapids, Montreal, with it's hun
llreds 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-
ci 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 a day
coach over the Chicago Great Western
road, which has proved it's excellence
by its popularity and by gathering in
passenger and freight business in a
way that startles it's rivals. The as
sociation is under obligations especial
ly to Mr.. S. c. Stickney, the general
manager, to Mr.. F. H. Lord, the gen
eral passenger agent, and to Mr.. ]. 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
t trip. On the return a change OF

pleasure also is increased by our ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Charlton, the
roads advertising agent, who placed
us under many personal obligations.
1t was indeed glorious trip, but
no impression brought back was
stronger than that eastern Canada in
the immediate future must have re-

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 raro and attention been extended
to it by any railroad. The editorial
train passed over part of all four of
it's 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 a machine. There
is the strongest possible personal
fealty between the members of the

head, of this branch Of the service

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. It was
opened officially in 1860 by the Prince
of Wales, who drove the last rivet. It
was then a wonder, but the traffic
over it so Increased that it had to be
rebuilt in 1878. 1t was not closed
for minute, and so thorough was the
first structure that the old piers did
not have to be replaced, the super
structure alone being replaced by
open steel pans on which is double
railroad track, and on either side, sep
arated from the railway tracks by
stone walls, is a roadway. There are
"A piers, and the bridge is $500 feet
in length. It is no wonder the Grand
Trunk is proud of their splendid
structure on which, in all, $9,OOO,OOC
has been expended. Little souvenir
books, picturing and explaining the
bridge and printed for the occasion,
were given each guest.
Again that night we took our train
and the Grand Trunk whirled us to
Quebec, that quaintest of cities of the
new world, with it's famous hostelry,
the Chataus Frontenac, perched. upon
the lofty hillside, with the citidal as
a background. AS at Montreal, where
we were housed at the Windsor, that
city's SWEETEST hotel, and one of the
best on the continent, SO in Quebec
we were at the Frontenac, as nothing
is too good for the touring Minnesota
editors. The Grand Trunk runs on
the south side of the river, and at

of the greatest interest and in many
ways the most valuable ever offered
to members of the association. There
was more of historic interest, there
was more that was strange and for
eign and more that was educational.
Starting from St. Paul on Thursday
evening, the party of two hundred, all
editors and their immediate families,
in train of splendid palace coaches,
travelled over 5000 miles. From the
windows Of the rushing train they
saw as a continuous panorama the
southern parts of their own state, the
splendid states of Iowa, Illinois, lndi-
ana, and Michigan before entering
Canada. Then passing through the
Port Huron tunnel under the St. Clair
river, a remarkable example of en-
gineering skill, we entered the coun-
try of our neighbors. Through much
of the best of Canada's farming coun-
try we went into the Muskoka lake
region, that glorious haven CT 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
miniOn government. 1t was an outing
long to be remembered and thought
