Quebec, Oct. 1, 1S96. In Journeying
from Montreal to Quebec, the tourist
bus the choice of three routes either
by the Grand Trunk lullway dovjn the
Bouth shore of the St. Lawrence, or by
steuiner down the mighty stream It
self, or by the Canudlun Pacific. We
chose the latter route, which Is a flve
liours' llde, a rapid and luxurious trip
In way of equipment, but In the way
of landscape there Is little variety.
Leaving Montreal, the train follows
around the base of Mount lloynl and
suun reaches St. Martin Junction,
where Is the 1'iovlnclul penitentiary.
Soon we come to a long stretch of low
land extending for miles back from the
St. Lawrence liver and closely cultivat
ed and cut up Into the sinull lields that
eharaeteilze the French fur ins

French custom of dividing estates

farms a like river frontage, olten make

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
The chief factor in creating tlio
Dominion of Canada and binding all
theprpvlncestogetherln one confedera
tion has been the Canadian Paclllc rail
way which" Is the sreat natural high
way of the Dominion from ocean to
ocean, either for summer or winter,
spring or autumn, and It must forever
remain so. It was conceived and con
structed us' a war meusure'by the Im
perial government and It, was wisely
and skillfully planned and (possesses
peculiar advantages.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
I 'certainly advise everybody who
possibly can to make this "Wonder
land" tour. But as many cannot, I have
done what I could to share with those
the pleasure and education which we
have personally derived fiom It. To
see the country between the two oceans
to the best advantage, you should cross
thu American continent via the North
ern Pacific railway through Yellow
stone Parle and to the Pacific Coast,
and thence by steamship "Queen" to
Alaska, returning to Vancouver, 13. C,

pacts are much resorted to In summer
by city people. In each the gilded

itable Institutions of the Hainan Cath
olic faith aro tha most conspicuous
buildings.
CITY OF THREE IUVERS.
Near Loulzevllle, opposite Lake St.
Peter, are the St. Leon (saline) springs
a popular watering place and health
resort. Lake St. Peter is simply the
broadening out of the St. Lawrence
river to a width of nine miles, for a
length of twenty-two miles. Fifteen
miles below, the great St. Maurice
river, which rises 320 miles north, enters
the St. Lawrence by three mouths, on
which stands the Cathedral Cltv of
"Three Rivers," the third city of Im
portance in the province. It was found
ed In 1C1S and is one of the largest
"sealed towns" in Canada. It played
an Important part in Canada's early
history. Three Rivers is the "see" of a
Roman Catholic bishop, whose cathe
dralisanlmposingstructure. It Is nine
ty miles froin or about midway between
Montreal and Quebec; lies at the head
of tide-water ott the St. Lawrence, and
has a population of 10,000.
The city, is well laid out and is a
typical French-Canadian town, with
numeious churches, convents, and ed
ucational institutions. Its chief in
dustry is the shipment of lumber
which comes down the St. Maurice
river, through a region only visited by
the axeman, a few Indians, and trap
pers, and Hudson's Bay traders. Over
$1,000,000 is invested here in mills,
booms, etc., where logs are accumu
lated. Around the city lie vast de
posits of log-iron ore. Here are large
Iron works, machine shops, and car
vvheel shops, wliere car-wheels ara
made in large nun.ibers from this native
ore. .Smelting ore began in this city as
early.as J737. Three Rivers will well
repay an extended visit.
"Within easy reach tire mountain
brooks swarm with trout for the fish
erman. At Piles Junction a branch
line extends to the farming district of
Grand Piles and to the great Sha
wanegan Falls on the St. Maurice
river. A Portneuf Is a thriving fac
tory town devoted principally to shoe
making and wood-pulp. The dozen
villages between Three Rivers and
Lorette are quaint and picturesque
in the highest degree and the French
language is almost universally spoken.
Powerful rivers come down from the
hills at frequent Intervals along, giv
ing ample water-power to almost every
.village.
, ' HURON INDIANS.
About seven miles from Quebec Is
the christianized Indian village of Lor
ette, where dwell the lest remnants of
the Huron tribe. They number now
about sixty families 330 souls all told;
143 males and 103 females. This pow
erful tribe onco comprised over 30,000
souls. Lorette Is a place of interest
to all curious travelers. There are
scarcely nny among the so-called Ind
ians of pure Indian blood. They have
Intermarried largely with their French
neighbors, but the Indian features and
habits still predominate. This reser
vation is governed by the customs of
two centuries ago, no white man being
allowed, until recently, to settle with
in the Bacred precincts of tlie Huron
reserve.
They aro a quiet and religious peo
ple, all these Indians; they worship n
their own (Catholic) church, a quaint
building two centuries old; and In the
intervals the men hunt and fish, while
the women make bead-work and moc
casins, and the boys earn pennies by
dexterous archery.

route. There is immunity on the One
hand from the blazing suns and stifling
alkali dust of the southern deserts, and
on the other from Impassable snow
falls. It is unassailable by summer
heat or winter storms. The Winnipeg
board of trade says: "It is kept clear
with ease and no fall of snow, as a rule,
interferes with the work of the road
from the Red River to the Rocky
Mountains." It traverses country of
all kinds and has opened to the colo
nist, the tourist, the sportsman vast
tracts of hitherto almost inaccessible
wealth.
ABUNDANT GAME.
No other part of the continent is on
a par with Canada In the vaiioty and
plenty of sport obtainable with little
time, expense and pleasant trouble,
and it so happens that the best game
districts of the Dominion are in the
immediate vicinity of, or at no great
distance from.the Canadian Pacific, for
It passes through the heart of the cari
bou and deer country the greater part
of the way between the Atlantic and
Pacific and conveys its passengers to
the field of their operations in comfort
and luxury. There is a new object les
son in geology and botany to be studied
even through the car windows each day
and much ethnology as well. In jus
tice, I must say, the Canadian Pacific
is a road with which none of the great
trans-continental railroads can com
pare. It is thoroughly laid, smooth, and
finely ballasted; the bridges ate erect
ed with great strength and the depots
are built with taste. The Canadian
Pacific trains are cosmopolitan. They
have tourist cars and colonists' cars.
In the former are noted travelers from
homeand abroad. In the latter.scores of
different countries are represented. One
sees a dozen different national types
and hears as many different dialects.
This is a composite world on wheels,
as Its Inhabitants for the time being
hail from all quarters of the globe.
COMFORT OF TRAVEL.
We cannot speak too extravagantly
of the luxurious sleeping cars of the
Canadian Paclllc. In ' the Canadian
sleeper so much luxury prevails that
It Is hard to think that any good thing
can be lacking-. It Is a luxury whether
one dines, sleeps, bathes, smokes, or
reads, us if in a hotel, all the while
beholding If he choose the panorama
of the country through which he is
passing.
The Canadian sleepers are unlike the
Pullman sleepers; they are usually
larger with wider aisles and far more
luxurious. They have soft rich cush
ions, silken curtains, thick carpets,
delicate carvings, and beautiful deco
rations; and with their numberless and
ingenious appliances for convenience
und comfort, even to both rooms, bar
ber shops, etc, that the traveling pub
lic expect, I doubt if they have their
equal In the world.
The Canadian Pacific owns and runs
these thoroughly appointed palace cars,
while the sleeping and dining cars In
the United States mainly belong to the
Pullman company, und are operated
independently of the roads using them.
By the Canadian Paclllo everything is
done for comfort and good service that
admirable organization, care and
courtesy can do to lighten the burden
of a week's Journey across tlio con
tinent. By an ingenious device, the
wliole train is united under one con
tinuous roof, so that, In place of de
tached cars with exposed platforms,
there Is, In reality, an elonguted suite
of elegantly furnished apartments,
comprising all the comforts of the
most luxuriously appointed hotels. The
passenger can pass from his bed room
nnd traverse the Queen's domain by
the Canadian 1'nelllc railway to Mont
real and Quebec, or vice-versa. From
whichever way the tourist comes,
Montreal is regarded as either the in
itial or terminal point of a transcon
tinental journey, for it is the principal
eastern terminus of this great national
highway, not only of the main line,
but of numerous branches extending to
Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia.
If the outward passage is over the
Canadian Pacific and the return over
the Northern Pacific, tourists, should
confer with Passenger Traffic Agent D.
McNIcoll at the Montreal olllce, or with
E. V. Skinner, general eastern agent
at 333 Broadway, N. Y who will fur
nish maps, guidebook, etc., to Insure
a successful and enjoyable trip. If the
outward passage is over the Northern
call the "monotony," although to the
lover of nuture In ItH wildness, the
Journey Is far from monotonous or
fatiguing. The luxurious sleeping and
dining cars relieve fatigue and one
grows to love this wild, rugged country
which through man'u Ingenuity is
opened up to wondering humanity.
Whatever else may be forgotten ill this
busy life of ours, the remembrance of
this gloilous trip of nearly twelve
thousand miles across the American
continent, and to the far-off lands of
Alaska, and the return through t,he
Queen's dominions, will never be ob
literated from our memory,, as the
most enjoyable and educational of all
our travels.
We have taken our readers over the
entire Northern Pacific railway and its
branches, a continuous line of glitter
ing steel covering nearly live thousand
miles to the Pacific coast. We have
crossed the longest rivers, the greatest
lakes, the richest grain fields, the most
barren deserts of the United States; we
have stood together amidst the boiling
springs und active geysers from the
"underland world," and feasted our
eyes on the great lakes, waterfalls,
and grand canyons of Yellowstone
Park, and on the glaciers of the ice
fields of Alaska.
We have crossed the snow crowned
Cascades under the eye of the vener
able Mount Tacoma, and from the
dazzling brightness of that great
"White Throne," we have descended to
the rich valley of Puget Sound and
traversed the placid waters of that
great Inland sea for hundreds of miles.
We have sailed the great inland ocean
for nearly three thousand miles in
Alaskan waters to the "lana of the
midnight sun," and to within six de
grees of the Arctic Circle. We have
stood at the foot of the Mount St. Ellas
Alps and viewed their hoary summits
piercing heavenward through the
clouds to nearly four miles above our
feet. We have walked to the summit of
"Muir Glacier," the greatest glacier in
the world and entered its glittering ice
caves, and subterranean passages, and
there seen the swiftly llowing river,
and listened w Ith bated breath to the
roar of Its hidden water falls. Stand
ing near we have witnessed acres of
toppling pinnacles fall with the crash
of cannon hundreds of feet into Glacier
Bay, sinking for minutes, only to rise
full-Hedged Icebergs amid floating
lields of Ice. We have sailed among
these Icebergs of Glacier Bay and navi
gated the most perilous rivers, straits,
and ravines in our Great American
Archipelago, and traversed ravines
where only the gray wing of the soli
tary eagle, and the dark form of the
solitary Indian are seen and the mourn
ful howl of the wild beasts is heard In
the solitude of the forest. We have
visited the great and most noted mis
sion stations, Indian "rancheries," and
Indian schools, and also Indian fish
eries on the continent and In Alaska
and have been rewarded by some of
the largest catches known to sports
men. We have entered the greatest
gold, silver, and copper mines in
America and witnessed their workings.
THE RETURN JOURNEY.
Returning through the Queen's do
minions, we have traveled over four
thousand miles on the Canadian Pacific
railway and its connections from
surprises, hi.ve been like one protracted
holiday. How we have recorded the
events of our long Journey Is for our
readers to say. Sometimes the grandeur
of the scene has been so Inspiring,
that wo could but revoncntly exclaim,
"How great nro Thy works, Lord, God
Almighty!" Sometimes our feelings
could bo better expressed by a row of
exclamation points, I- I 1 1 1 or by a
series of disconnected adjectives. Some
times our letters have been written on
flying trains; at other times In the
small hours of the night, with the body
wearied and the bialn tired from ex
cessive slglit-seelng. It is, too, a mat
ter of regret that while we have seen
so much, we have for lack of time been
compelled to omit seeing and to pass
over other places of Interest and In
struction. The Immense scope of terrl
toty traversed has expanded our Ideas
(and we trust those of our readers),
giving us enlarged views of this
mighty Ameilcan Union nnd Its vast
wealth and possessions; also of the
great Canadian heritage, and wo return
to our home prouder than ever of the
great land whose borders aro protected
by the Stars and Stripes on the one
hand and the Union Jack on the other
Side of the boundary, awaiting the time
when, by peaceable annexation, the
Ruler of Nntlons shall unite the two
great English-speaking confederations
now joined together by nearness of
habitation as well as ties of blood, Into
a still gi eater nation, over which "Old
Glory" shall lloat forever supieme.

UNCI, IS II KAIMVAV STATISTICS
From the Detroit Tribune.
The report ot the business of nil
railroads In Clieat Britain nnd Ireland
during the year ending Aug. 10, 1S0G,
has just been presented to parliament
by the board of trade, and It gives
some interesting statistics for com
parison with American railway busi
ness. According to the report t,he to
tal mllenge In the kingdom Is 21,171
miles, an Increase of 2C0 miles over
1S94. The ftal capitalization of these
roads Is $5,00j,5r)l,103 or $230,400 a mile
while the common share capital Is
$1,820,187,023. The roads give employ
ment to 405,112 men. The total earn
ings of the year amounted to $423,
013,010 and 45 per cent, of this was from
passenger traffic. The net earnings
were $190,230,325, a gain of two and
one-half per cent, over 1891. The per
centage of net earnings on the enor
mous capitalization was 3.S0 per cent.
Considering the comparatively small
length of railways lines as compared
with the United Staes, the train mile
age is very huge, being 33S,900,000
miles. Expenses per tiain mile were
Ci cents, and the leceipts were $1.15,
leaving a profit of- 51 cents per train
mile. Thirteen per cent of the ordin
ary stock paid no dividends at all,
and the balance paid dividends rang
ing from 5 to 8 per cent. According
to the list of casuallties, 1,024 persons
were killed and 4,021 were lnjured dur
ing the year, but over half of these
were employes of the roads. Only S3
passengers or one in nearly 8,000,000
were killed. Train accidents were 09
iu number and only four of these
were attended with fatal results. The
low casuality list is due to the extra
ordinary precautions which are taken
In every way to protect human lives.
Tilt DI'EPKST LAKE.
Only One Uody of Fresh Water in the
World Is Deeper.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Crater lake, in Oregon, is the deep
est body gf fresh water In Americu.
Only one lake In the world Is deeper,
namely, Baikal, which exceeds it in
depth by about 400 feet. Until recently
it was asserted that Crater lake was
bottomless, but soundings have proved
that Its greatest depth is 2,000 feet. It
Is five miles In diameter, nearly circu
lar, and occupies the crater of an ex
tinct volcano.
No fish has ever been known to exist
In Crater lake. Not long ago a request
that It be stocked with trout was sent
to Washington by the Mazamas, who
are a club of mountain climbers, hav
ing headquarters at Portland. ,Maza
ma is the Indian name for mountain
goat. The climbers are anxious to
angle in this extinct crater, and the
government experts aie going to rind
out whether or not such a thing Is
practicable. It Is easy enough to put
trout into the water, but that would be
of no use unless there is food for them
there. Tilals will be made by an ex
pedition, for the purpose of ascertaln-
i lng how much food there is, and

Pacific, as was our experience, pro- I Pacific to Atlantic. Commencing at
ictoria we have travel sed its com
modious harbors and buys, crossed Its
greatest livers, its ponderous bridges
nnd Its deepest ravines. We have en
tered Its murvelous cunons, pierced by
Innumerable tunnels, und from the
peerless walls of the Selklrks, we have
looked down Into canons of almost un
known depths. We have climbed to
eternal snow and eaten our dinner
among the glaciers of the Selkirk
mountains amid alternate cloud and
sunshine, and also ascended the Rock
ies to their very summits and taken
our supper among the wild alpine flow
ers of the Continental Divide.
From these lofty helglUs we have
descended to the valleys and traversed
the broadest plains, through the great
est cattle ranches, the finest agricul
tural lands and the greatest wheat
lields amidst the largest yields on tlio
earth. We have traversed the haunts
of the great game of North America
and visited the noted Indlun reserva
tions of the Dominion guarded by tlio
finest body of mounted police iu tlie
world, These weeks and months of con
tinuous travel In the midst of all this
magnificent scenery and never ending

S. Fee, Geneial Passenger Agent, or
Advertising Passenger Agent O. D.
Wheeler, who will gladly furnish all
needed Information, especially that per
taining to Yellowstone Park. Our
advice Is; Go! go! and by all means
make a three months' tour of It. Do
not try to take ull of this In one un
broken trip. A hurtled trip places too
much strain upon brain and body. The
eye loses power of discrimination, so
fast do scenes of grandeur und beauty
crowd upon tlie view.
BY WAY OF RECAPITULATION.
With this, our sixty-first letter, we
close our series of "travel-letters"
among the "Wonderlands of North
America." While our Journey together
has certainly been a long continuous
one, it has been one that could scarce
ly fall to interest the most indifferent
of travelers. Our return trip through
the Queen's domain hus been one of
speclul delight. Tlie comforts of trav
el us Just described crci such that It is
simply a prolonged ijleasuro trip
throughout, with pleasuit breaks here
und there to relieve what some would
whether or not It is of a kind suitable
for speckled beauties to browse upon.
This will be accomplished by towing
small nets ot gauze along the surface
of the water. Tlie water will flow
through the gauze, which will catch all
the uulmalcului' that come in its way.
The quantity of the latter secured In
a given number of minutes or hours
will be an accuiato measure of the
quantity of fish food piesent, They
will be bottled and preset ved In forma
line for subsequent examination by a
specialist who will determine the
species represented.
A most Interesting spiles of experi
ments will be made for the purpose of
ascertaining tlie temperature of the
water at various depths. No tempera
ture observations have ever been taken
In fresh water neatly so far down.
With this end In view, an equipment of
self-reglHteting thermometers and sup
plementary apparatus will be tuken
and will be let down by means of
