city of its ancient favor. The great
mass of its people live as simply and
with as little lust for gold as they did
100 years ago. The narrow, crooked
streets of Lower Town and those of Up
per Town are redolent of the religious
and military history of the country.
Around that fortress-crowned rock has
been played one of the most stirring
dramas of the ages. in which the
French, English, Americans and aborig-
inal Indians took leading parts, and
which has left its mighty and indelible
impress on the city. That which is
modern only brings out more sharply
the ancient landmarks, Tightening them
by contrast.
Some Points of Interest.
The Citadel commands the situation
in Quebec. 1t is visible from every
point, and can be approached from
almost any quarter of the city. 1t in
spires the greatest awe. 1t covers an
area of 40 acres, and was completed in
1892, at a cost of s25,000,000. Pre-
vious to 1870 two or three regiments
were quartered here, but they We're at
that time withdrawn, and now only
between 200 and 900 officers and men
of the Royal Canadian Artillery occu-
py its massive walls. From its bastions

still floats the red cross banner, the
symbol of ouebec's power. Tho still a
fortress, it is now used principally as
d military storehouse, an immense
amount of such stores being kept
there. From the Kings bastion in the
Citadel one gets probably the finest
view to be obtained from any point.
1t is indeed a glorious spectacle which
bursts upon the delighted eyes of the
visitor, the wide and noble st. Law
renee, the historic Plains of Abraham,
and, nesting at the feet of the great
rock, the old city, with the narrow,
little, crooked streets and quaint build
ings of Lower Town, the numberless
spires and steeples that crown the up
per section. and the city gates, of
which only three of the original six
remain. which bring wildly to mind
the era of the old military regime.
Just at the base of the Citadel and
200 feet above the st. Lawrence is the
pride and glory of modern Quebec,
Dufferin Terrace, which is magnifi-
cent promenade named for one of Can
ada's most popular Governors. Its fine,
broad promenade extends for fully a
quarter of a mile, and at one end a
succession of small stairways lead to
still another walk along the cliff and
around the base of the walls of the
Citadel The view from these prom
enades is, of course, magnificent, and
on fine days, both in Winter and Sum-
mer, young and old, rich and poor, are
seen strolling along them or seated in
the little open ornamented Summer
houses or pavilions which are scat
tered along the broad walk of the ter
race. Along the water edge are also
placed numerous benches, which at
tract the tired visitors, who eagerly
throw themselves upon them to better
enjoy the matches view.
At the eastern end of the terrace
stands the Chateau F'rontenac. mag
nificent hotel built by the Canadian
Pacific Company. 1t, too, overlooks
the mighty St Lawrence, and stands
on the exact site of the old Chateau st.
Louis, SO famous in Canadian history,
and once the vice regal residence of
and after the conquest. 1t is a most
attractive building of the Louis Quinze
style of architecture, with numberless
curves, cupolas, turrets and towers in
gray stone and dull brick, and is said
to have cost the company 100000.
Inside this hotel the rooms are of the

fhe entire upper part of the town
was formerly encircled by strong walls,
;E which were the buildings and grounds
OF great religious corporations, semi
naries, the university, hospitals, col
leges, monasteries, etc. Here are also
the Parliament House, Departmental
Buildings, Court House, Custom House,
City Hall and the Basilca, formerly the
Cathedral, which is embellished with
many rare and fine paintings.
The lower part of the town is on the
plain of the river bank, which has been
extended by cutting out the rock to
make way for streets and places for
buildings. Steep winding streets, stair
cases cut in the rock and elevators lead
from the lower town to the nights
above. The chief industry is the ship
ping of lumber brought on RATS from
above and collected in the coves around
the town. The principal manufactures
are leather, boots, shoes, cutlery, ma
chineFy, musical instruments and iron
castings. In the old days Quebec had
a high reputation for ship building. The
city is lighted by electricity developed
by the water power of rhe Montmorency
Falls, seven miles distant.
For several years Quebec was the
Capital of United Canada. It's popula-
ton has increased quite slowly, being
6S,s34 in 1901 Five-sixths of these
We're French and Roman Catholics. In
1870 the population was 1858, of
whom 40.s90 were French, 12,345 Irish,
1874 English and 1861 of Scotch orig
in; of these 52,357 were Roman Catho-
lies.
Altho Quebec has always been re-
garded as the gateway of Canada to
Europe. other cities have distanced her
in population and commercial impor-
tance. Prolific as the French habitants
have been, and some of them have fam
iiies of "a children, the country to the
west has Increased in population much
more rapidly. Montreal has a popula-
ton ~of' 26S,000; Toronto of 20S, 900;

ion, 10000, and Victoria, the metropo-
lis OF British Columbia, $4,000.
Wonderfully Picturesque City.
No city on this continent can COM
pare with Quebec for picturesqueness.
II is absolutely unique in this respect.
The Citadel which crowns the great
rock, the prize for which so many
bloody battles have been fought, re-
minds the traveller of the old castle at
Heidelberg, situated on the Castlehill,
and also of the famous castle at Edin-
burgh frowning from its rocky promi-
nence. The site of these three cities is
much the same, and perhaps for grand
eur of situation and nobl beauty no 9TH
ers in the world can compare with
them.

The City of Quebec.
The city of Quebec is one of the
quaintest and most interesting places
in the world, and has more ;survivals of
the far-away past and its institutions
than any other place north of Mexico.
1t stands on the left bank of the st.
Lawrence at its confluence with the St
Charles. and 400 miles from the Gulf
of st. Lawrence. 1t is built on the ex
tremity of high ridge of rock, mainly
quartz, with the headland rising 1913
feet above the water. This part has
been covered with Notifications, the
work of 800 years. The citadel has
wallis about two and three-fourths miles
in circumference, and formerly pierced
by five gates. The changes in modern
arms have led the British to greatly ex-
tend these Notifications and erect 9TH
ers on the points across the river, and
all are armed with the heaviest and
finest guns that can be made.
