THOUSAND ISLANDS.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA BAY, N.

July ), 1907.
If there is a trace Of Ill feeling in Canada
toward the United States-and 1t has been
asserted that there is. owing to the Lake
Champlain and St. Lawrence river fishing
questons-it certainly was not made mani
fest during the past few days. On the ma
tional holiday the Canadians came across
the mighty st. Lawrence In thousands and
helped as enthusiastically in the various
celebrations along the river as if the Fourth
of July was the Independence day of the
dominion. AT WATERFOWL. where the most
pretentious of the celebrations was held,
the Quenns Own Regiment of Kingston
stepped lively to the tune of the Star
Spangled Banner. and 1000 Canadians
cheered the reading of the Declaration of
Independence. 1t was a remarkab BILE demon
stration and calculated to deeply impress all
beholders. Particularly is this true when it
Is borne in mind that for several years
the assertion of i'll feeling between the
peoples on either side of the mighty in
tcrnational waterway has gone almost I'M
Contradcted.
Nor was WATERFOWL alone the scene OF
friendly, even fraternal, demonstrations.
Alexandria Bay, Clayton. Ogdensburg. Red
wood and other places celebrated the great
day. and each entertained many hundreds
of Canadians. Many of the latter. of course.
returned to their homes the same evening
but a large number remained for a few
days fishing and gayety on this side of the
river, and the hotels and cottages are as
full they ever were ever could be.
The governor general of Canada, Earl
Grey. intends to make this side of the st.
Lawrence quite visit during the last days
of July and the first of August. Together
with Countess Grey, Secretary and Mrs
Wilson. Lieut.. Col Vidal. adjutant general
of the dominion. and number of members
of the Canadian parliament, the earl is
expected for a ten days stay at the mag
nificent Hotel E'rnptppac (laytpD
may be only coincidence, but Secretary
of War Taft. now at Murray Bay, Canada,
is expected at the Frontenac at about the
same time. The American Secretary is
coming this way to personally deliver a gold
medal of honor to d former 9th Infantry
man. which is being bestowed by the Chi
neSe government. and 1t is more than likely
that Mr.. Taft and Earl Grey will have a
few quiet little chats upon Frontenac Is
land.
That the assembling of the Catholic Sum-
mer School at Bluff Point will be the means
of sending hundreds of guests to st. Law
renee river points this season, as It did last,
is already manifest in the large number
of accommodations engaged through the
school secretary at Plattsburg. The school
draws very largely from certain sections
of the south. from neutrality-suspicious.
