stay. The second morning, after "a
run through a beautiful country,
through farming and timber lands
and pine forests and past lovely lakes,
we landed at Muskoka Wharf, and
were at that famous chain of lakes,
that brings health and strength to
thousands and pleasure and sport to
as many more. There is something
remarkable about the atmosphere in
the Canadian lake region. In few
hours it will cure any cold in the
head, hay fever disappears like magic
vigor5 comes to the tired body and
brain, and the water, pure and wholly
free from alkali, has strong medicinal
properties. 1t is a 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 $4,000 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
60 regularly each summer, while all
along the shores of the lakes and on
"OSl VI LuC ASlduuS,
which are of every shape and size, are
cottages, club touses, hotels, camps,
resorts and all sorts of inducements
for the pleasure seeker. It is sure to
be Canada's great resort and is al
ready a strong rival of the Adironl-'
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
kolla Navigation Company. Captain
Cockburn, the manager, put the first
boat on the lakes in the '60's, and his
faith has had it's reward. Now this
company's fleet of five large steam
ers, 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 i'm
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 Rs

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 4 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 11ost enter
tanning companion on the trip, but
the committee wish to add their YER
bal testimonial to the practical one of
the ladies Tor 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 a
gentleman without reproach and
host without peer.
Before leaving Ottawa the party as

At Prescott we transferred to the
"Bohemian," a smaller vessel that
could pass the rapids. Tt was most
comfortable, but must be a 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
of Montreal, the commercial center of
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
20 on down to Quebec. Then on to
Norway Bay, which, with the Lauren
tian mountains just back, rivals
Scotland's highland beauties, and is
! region renowned, too, for it's attrac-
tions 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 great
trip, this offered by the Richeleau G.
Ontario Navigation Company, one that
for scenic grandeur certainly is un-
rivaled in any land.

They had badges and programs Of the

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

in reception on Mount Royal, where,
on the grand outlook with it's view
over the city and the river, delicious
lunch was served. The mayor ex-
tended the city's welcome in a most
gracious little address, and Mr.. H. P
Hall made a response. Other fitting
talks were made and then the second
evening ended with a theater party.

Several hundred carpenter contract
ors met in Odd Fellows building in

pose of taking some action in regard
to carpenters being granted permits
to build houses without the necessary
license.
The carpenters license is s25 per
year and under the the decision OF the
finance committee every contractor
who employs one or more journeymen
Is compelled to~pay this amount. The
same ordinance applies to the CON
tractor who does not employ a Jour
ncyman, but builds or repairs houses.
1t IS alleged that several permits to
build have been granted to parties who
have no license. City Attorney TAYLOR
was present and read the law on the
subject. Building Inspector Nugent
