M. ww TER many pleasant experiences in 1 Canadian woods and waters I felt = prepared to make a long contempla- ted visit to Hudson Bay. ThetripI knew was not to be lightly undertaken, but hav- ing learnt a good deal from personal travel by canoe and the spending of several vaca- tions in the back woodsinCanada, I felt prepared to face whatever emergencies might be in front of me. I had likewisetravelled a good deal under the guidance of Presque, a half breed, and seen his work under difficulties and knew he wasa guide uponwhom I could place a good deal of re- liance. My own experience had given me some confidence in my own powers and I felt that the time had come when | might with some amount of credit under- take what I knew to be a difficult trip, not altogether free from danger, and hope to emerge successfully therefrom. For some time I had been gathering in- formation on the subject and early last STATION AT ENGLEHART. BENTLEY. spring began my preparations in earnest.. The question of route was one of much interest but the balance was so strongly in favor of that by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway that I decided to goas faras I could to the End of Steel and then take to.- the canoe. Thad sounded Presque on the subject on my last visit to Temagami and | had the in- estimable advant- age of the advice and assistance of Mr. H. G. Wood, the Hudson Bay representative on Bearlsland, Tema- gami, who gave time and attention to making the out- fit as thorough as forethought and knowledge could do so in order to ensure against the possibilities of any breakdown. As far as I could manage it all the arrangements had been made when I left Pittsburg on the evening of July tenth last on the first stage of what prov- ed to be a most interesting trip. Before nine o’clock next morning J] was in To ronto and enjoyed a hearty breakfast a-~ 608 the King Edward Hotel. The day was made unpleasant by continuous rain, though despite this drawback I managed to see a good deal of the city. I purchas- eda silk tent with bobbinet front from Pike & Company, bought a few sundries which might have been otherwise over- lookedand secured my sleeper reservation. At nine o’clock in the evening I and all my belongings were on the Cobalt special and headed north. At half past seven next morning we were only ten miles beyond North Bay, and on account of a wreck were obliged to change cars and have the baggage transferred toa train ahead. Thus in- stead of reach- ing Temagami at seven forty- five it was eleven o’clock before our train entered that station. However, I found Presque awaiting me and he had the canoe and sup- plies all ready for shipping. Train delays kept us here till five o’clock in the evening and it was nine before Engle- hart was reach- ed. Anall night stoppage was made here and we put up at the King Edward—a fine hotel consid- ering that the town is but one year old. Englehart is a railroad divisional point and is also to be made a junction point. Only a year ago the site was covered with dwarf Jack pines and now the place possesses a large attractive depot painted white with green shingles, a good hotel of about forty rooms, and about thirty stores of all kinds, together with numerous well built dwellings. The place is a good example of the enter- prise and energy displayed in many of the new frontier towns of Northern On- tario and the short stay here was made interesting in noting the strange contrasts VIEW OF THE NEW TOWN OF ENGLEHART. PLACE IS BUT ONE YEAR OLD AND IS TO BE A RAILROAD JUNCTION POINT. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA presented in a town of such mushroom growth. At thattime the End of Steel was Grant, seventy-five miles from Englehart, and a construction train left Englehart for that point at half past nine in the morning. We were timed to conclude the journey by between four and six in the evening—a rather indefinite form of time table, but we were warned that even this was not to be depended upon. The dining stopping point on this ex- tension is at a settlement called Boston ; from which place there is a Government waggon road through to the Larder Lake district, where much gold bearing min- eral has been discovered and where hun- dreds of’ pros- pectors are in search of the hidden treas- ure. As a mat- terof factit was nine o'clock before the train arrived at Grant and con- sidering the condition of the roadbed we did well to ar- rive at that time. At three different places the engine or cars left the tracks and we had good opportunities of observing the surrounding country while waiting for them to be replaced. This portion of the roadbed well illus- trates some of the enormous difficulties to be overcome by pioneers in a new country. In some places deep rock cuts had to be made, many large streams had to be crossed and in other places the lines had to be laid over muskegs where it appears impossible to procure anything like a firm foundatian. In several places there were found large deposits of soft blue clay. On these deposits the railroad builders have been working for over a year, using pile drivers and putting in hundreds of logs in their endeavors to THIS secure such a foundation as would hold the track. When the builders thought they had done this the soft clay would | slip carrying away the logs and _ shifting | the track several hundred feet from its former location. Two large steam shovels have been put in and worked for months taking out the deposit, the excavation thus made being filled up with heavy rock ballast. This had no lasting effect asthe clay has again slipped with the same results. The first contractors who | undertook to build this portion of the _ road claimed to have lost $100,000 over | it and had to give it up uncompleted. | When we finally reached Grant, the _ conductor took us to a large railroad camp for sup- per for which, as it may be imagined, we were quite ready. When we finished our meal and came out we found that the train had been run on toa siding half a mile a- head. We walked down the track to the train and _with padlocks. This meant that we _ must wait till morning with what patience we could command before we could se- cure our Outfit. We tried to sleep on the hard benches of the caboose and might have succeeded if it had not been for the swarms of mosquitoes which would insist on occupying that place with us. Asit was we were in torture all the time and at halt past two in the morning I could stand it no longer. I beat a retreat and from that time until I was called for breakfast I spent the in- terval in walking up and down the track Switching at my tormentors at every step I took. _ It was with glad spirits that at half- ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. 609 past eight on Sunday, July fourteenth, we bade adieu to the railway and set out on the canoe portion of our trip. We started with a half mile portage to the Black River on which we were delighted to embark. After our experiences on the railroad we felt free and hada most pleasant day, though we had to make three portages in the distance of three miles which we had to cover before we reached McDougall’s Chutes. Here we remained for half an hour securing Some bread, etc. and looking with interest at the raw newness of this crude settlement. When we were there the frames of nearly every building was covered with tar paper. Despite the air of newness everywhere prevalent we found several stores doing a rushing busi- ness and pool rooms and boarding houses were seen on every hand. Many tents were pit- ched about the place and it was clear to us that the town _ there discover- was growing ed that the DINNER STOP ON THE EXTENSION OF THE TEMIS- — rapidly. Rich freight cars KAMING AND NORTHERN ONTARIO RAILWAY. mineral depos- were locked itshad been and were still being found in the district and accounted for the energetic manner in which everyone round about was hustling for the almighty dollar. i { We continued our paddle down the Black River for a distance of fifteen miles, to its junction with the Abitibi and down this five miles to Iroquois Falls which point we reached at five o’clock in the evening. Several prospectors and a fire ranger were incamp here and after put- ting up our tent and having supper we spent several pleasant hours around the camp fire in their company. Upon turning in a night of misery was our lot. No sooner had we sought our pillows than our troubles began. I had 610 brought with mea cot with a bobbinet canopy intended forjust such an occasion, and thought that 1 had confounded these insect pests. My confidence was not justified on that particular evening for al- though the bobbinet reached to the ground there were many uneven surfaces. By these means they found entrances be- low and coming right up along the sides they reached me and paid me their com- pliments. They were so very pressing in their attentions that the dawn with its moving about and preparations for break- fast and breaking camp proved most welcome. By eight o’clock we were again on the water and at the forty-two mile blaze from McDougall’s Chute reached the Burnes’ Transcontinental Contractor’s Camp where we stopped for a short time. Here _ there were fifteen big and fierce dogs running about and it was not Sa fiepior,-a stranger to try and land until they had been called off. Our journey was continued for eight miles fur- ther down the river when we reached a Gov- ernment Sur- veyor’sCampat which we stop- ped for ~—the night The building was locked up but as it was be- ginning to rain we did not stand upon ceremony but pried the lock off the door and made ourselves at home. There was a good stove anda_ general assort- ment of eatables inside. Under these circumstances we made an excellent sup- per which we much enjoyed. The next work was to put up my cot, and I set my thoughts to work to see if I couldn’t outwit my little, persistent and most trying enemies, the mosquitoes. Taking the bobbinet that hung below the cot I tucked it in all round ‘under the sleeping bags and after undressing VIEW ON ABITIBI RIVER. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. crawled under the canopy, most carefully tucking in again those portions of the bobbinet that I had displaced. This plan proved most successful and I experienced great pleasure that night in hearing the angry buzzings of many hundreds of mosquitoes making desperate efforts to reach me, and failing. From this time onward my troubles with mosquitoes were at an end and my nights calm and peaceful—a wonderful improvement upon the miserable ones I had gone through. On the sixteenth we were on the river by eight o’clock in the morning and kept right on until we arrived atthe Long Sault when we stopped at a prospector’s camp. At this place | had a pleasant meeting and conversation with an elderly gentle- man, Mr. G. Marskell, who came from Muskoka and remembered seeing me at Bala Fallsthree years _ before. For the next seven miles we had. -- we tea swift waterand after making two portages we camped that night at Kettle Falls. The seventeen- th was a quiet and uneventful daybut we made good progress. A_b-0-u t) 4¢ea o’clock in the morning we saw a cow and a calf moose in the water and with some trouble took two pictures of the cow but were too slow to catch the calf. Camp that night was made about ten miles above Sucker Creek. A long and arduous day was the eight- eenth but the evening afforded ample repayment for the strenuous exertions indulged in that day. We had _ seven portages to make, and the last one, three miles long, was not completed until eight oclock in the evening. We believed from the map, and the distances we had covered, that New Post could only bea few miles ahead. We decided therefore ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. to keep on and at nine o’clock we arrived at the Post. Mr. S.B. Barrett, the factor in charge, came down to the river to meet us and gave us ahearty welcome. So pleased in- deed was he to see a white man, assuring me that I was the first he had seen for eight months, that he gave us the free- dom of hishouse, There was much of greatinterest for us bothto talk about. He was anxious to hear of what was passing in the outside world, as he only received one mail, via Moose Factory, the whole year. Onthe other hand I wanted to know something further of the back- woods, of the journey ahead of me and there was no more competent man on these particular points than my host. Some very fine skins, trophies of Mr. Barrett’s hunt ngprowess, were hanging upon the walls and I made up my mind to pur- chase some of them should my host prove a willing — seller. As Idid not wish to burden myself with any more than _ needful supplies I post- poned this part of our interview till my return. The Post con- sists of four buildings — the Factor’s residence, a second one occupied by an Indian, a general shop and the store house. When we were there we saw about a dozen tents and tepees in which the Indians who trade at the Post were living. All the supplies for New Post are brought down once a year by the Indians from Moose Factory after the arrival of the steamer from England which is generally in the early part of August. Early in September the Indians at the Post leave for the woods many going long distances and each having his own hunting location. They remain away until June when they bring in the results of their winter’s work Inthe meantime RIVER VIEW ON ABITIBI RIVER NEAR NEW POST. 611 Mr. Barrett, with one lame Indian ser- vant, is left in charge at the Post. Noticing that four cut of five of the many dogs that were roaming about had their right fore leg tied to their neck, I inquir- ed the reason for sucha proceeding and was told that this was done to keep them from going into the bush. If allowed their full liberty they would roam about and eat up all the rabbits that had been caught in the snares set out. It was at this place I first saw a rabbit skin blank- et. These blankets were beauties being entirely white. They are made by cutting the skin into half inch strips, each one being twisted up tight and then woven together in a like manner as that in which carpets are woven. The result is a blank- et alike on both sides. These blankets are very warm and every Indian family is the possessor ofone or more of these articles. New Post would make an ideal place for a rest cure sanitor- ium. There would be abso- lutely no danger of the patients being worried by outside troubles. Our stay at the Post lasted twelve hours and by nine in the morning of the nineteenth we were again on our way. Before starting I procured two additional Indians to assist us over the four portages. fifteen miles below. At the end of the third portage we had the pleasure of meeting the Dominion Commissioner and party consisting of Dominion Police Officers, Paymaster, Doctor and ten Indians. © They had been paying the bounty to the Indians in all the northern’ sections of the country, and they were on their way back to the End of Steel, having com- pleted a journey of over two thousand five hundred miles,having started on May first and travelled most daysin the interval. 612 The bounty is four dollars and is paid in cash to every Indian, adult and child. As one result of these payments children are very numerous, the Indians looking upon them as good assets. Many amus- ing stories are told regarding the Indians and their bounty. It is the only money they ever see andas soon as itis in their possession they go at once to the store at the Post and spend it upon any- thing they fancy. At the New Post they tell of an Indian who on one of these occasions took a fancy to an old churn. As there was not, and never had been a cow within a hundred and fifty miles of the Post it was difficult to account for the churn being there. Without doubt it had been brought over from Europe many years be- fore and insome manner it had been included in a consignment of goods sent down to New Post. The In- dian had prob- ably never seen a cow and cer- tainly no other churn. As he took a fancy to it there was nothing else but ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS 4N CANADA. has still upon his final return to the starting point possession of the money he had with him when he originally start- ed, there being left as the evidences of his visits a trail of due bills along his whole route. This is certainly a good example of elastic currency. It rained hard all the afternoon and we had to pitch the tent on the wet sand on the end of an island. We were wet to the skin and nearly frozen but after getting into dry clothes and having a few cups of hot coffee we were soon all right again. At the end of the last portage I lost my revolver ; it slipped from my belt as I was getting out money with which to pay the two Indians. Saturday, the twentieth was a quiet day. We left camp at_ half- past seven and made such good progress that at night we camp- ed about five miles above the Moose __ River. During the day we saw a mink on a rock in the river. It allowed us to get within ten feet of it be- fore it took to to let him have the water and it and even the made for the price of twenty- shore: Al fittesn JUNCTION OF THE FREDERICK HOUSE AND ; ; five dollars pee swimming a which was ° g short distance charged him for it did not deter him from the purchase. He thought it was something on which he could make music and he determined to become the purchaser. The Commissioner after having paid Out the bounty due at a Post remains there for a day or two. By that time the bounty money is in the possession of the Hudson Bay Company and by giving them a due bill for the amount the Com- missioner is again in the possession of the money. The same procedure is car- ried on at each of the Posts and the final result is that the Commissioner after hav- ing paid acash bounty of four dollars per head to several thousands of Indians in that direction it turned about and came directly towards the canoe. When withina few feet ot us the guide raised his paddle to strike it. He had hardly made a move before the mink dived straight down into the water and disappeared. I believe if the guide had only kept quiet the animal would have tried to have gotten into the canoe. On Sunday, the twenty-first, we reach- ed Moose Factory. Camp was left shortly after seven o’clock and at nine we came on an Indian encampment at which a woman and child were engaged in drying moose meat. The biggest portion of the carcass was lying on the ground partly ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. covered with adirty cloth, andthe balance hung up across poles over the fire. The woman was the dirtiest and most depraved human being I have ever seen. She was covered with blood which had dried on her face and hands in streaks before the fire. Her head was covered with a dirty cloth to keep off the mos- quitoes and flies that were swarming about. The guide endeavoured to find out from her if the buildings we could see in the distance were those of the Hudson Bay Company at Moose Factory. She declined to talk and after taking her pic- ture we departed without being enlight- ened in any way. Upon reaching the buildings we found them to be those of the French Post of Revillion Freres. We stopped off here for a short time and Mr. F. X. Hele, the Factor in charge, was surprised and delighted to see us. He was a most interesting talker and in ad- dition to his stories told us that the Moose Post was only three miles away on the far side of the island which was in view across the river. In addition to his interesting conversation and information he also gave us some fine cigars. As we were leaving this point we saw acanoe, filled with Indians and dogs leave the Indian Camp near by. Mr. Hele told us they were going over to the Post to attend church, the English Bishop, the Right Rev. George Holmes, being there that day on his annual visit. As there were six paddles in their canoe they soon pulled ahead, though we managed to keep them in sight. By and by we saw them go into shore, and supposed they had reached the other Post although nothing of it was to be seen. When we came to them, however, we found them INDIAN FAMILY GATHERING AT MOOSE FACTORY. 613 very busy making their toilettes, putting on their very best clothes, fancy colored handkerchiefs, combing out and fixing up the children’s hair, and making them- selves as spruce as possible in honor ot the Bishop’s arrival. We were told that on their return from church they again exchanged their clothes at this place. Upon rounding the end of the island the Post could be seen and we reached the landing place about noon. Mr. A.W. Patterson, who was in charge, came down with his assistant and gave us a cordial invitation to dinner. We had what tast- ed to me the finest meal I had ever eaten. The menu consisted of moose meat, mashed potatoes, fresh bread, butter, marmalade, milk, tea and plum pudding. It. ise .easyae to understand by those who have gone through like experiences how luxurious this meal ap- peared to be after a week of bacon, hia:e.d tack, tea and coffee. In the after- noon the Factor showed me round the place andhis residence was more like a summer home in Muskoka than a house on the shores of Hudson Bay. There were lace curtains at the windows, fur rugs on the floors, fancy pillows in large numbers scattered about in the cosy corners and on the settees, attractive covers on the dressers and tables and over each bed a snow white canopy. . In the dining room is placed a fine life size oil painting of Lord Simpson. His wife died last May and with his two children and the servants he lives at the Post. Moose Factory is one of the largest of the Posts belonging to the Hudson Bay Company and is quite fairly populated, there -eing about fifty whites (mostly- English) and seven hundred Indians re- siding in the neighborhood. The _ loca- 614 tion is an ideal one, the buildings being on an elevation commanding ‘a view of the Bay on all sides and as far as the eye can reach. The salt air of the Arctic is very invigorating and the position of the Post is a healthy one. In additton to the large headquarters, store and warehouse, there are also the Church, a _ planing mill, a blacksmith’s shop, a carpenter’s shop, a paint shop and a boat house. In the latter boats of all kinds are made from a birch bark canoe tothe large steam and sailing vessels used around Hudson Bay. In addition there are about twenty-five or thirty residences. The Indians live mostly in tents and tepees in a section set apart for them The land a- round the Post is fenced in and cultivated. The Factor told me they could raise almost anything except corn. I saw a large field of fine looking potatoes and was told that the crop last year amounted to six hundred bushels. They have six horses and about forty head of cattle, the sires of each having been brought over on the steamer trom Europe. Only one mail is received per annum and this arrives on the steam- er. The Factor subscribes to a London daily paper and on its arrival receives over three hundred copies at once. It is necessary to carry two years’ necessities in stock as many vessels have been lost on their trip over and in that case none came till the following year. In that way five vessels have been lost in the last ten years. Occasionally a vessel is so late that before setting out on the return trip it gets frozen in and vessel and crew are compelled to remain there all winter. The yearly business transacted at the Post amounts to over sixty thousand dollars on which there is an enormous profit. Supplies are furnished to the ~ RABBIT SKIN BLANKET AT MOOSE FACTORY. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. Indians at a high price in exchange for furs at alow figure. They also take in an average annual weight of five tons of geese and duck feathers. This must represent an enormous number of fowls killed. The bodies of both geese and ducks are salted down and last as food for many months. As an illustration of the value of a railroad to Hudson Bay it may be men- tioned that the wheat received at the Post is grown on the Company’s land in the Winnipeg district. From there it is shipped by rail to Montreal and steamer to Queenstown from which place it is brought back via Nova Scotia, New- foundland and Hudson Bay to the Post. Upon its arrival at Moose Fac- tory, after travel- ling thousands of miles, it is only about four hundred miles from the ground on which it was raised. I was invited to attend the service at the Church which in theafternoon was for the Indians only and in their language. I was much impressed by the full attend- ance of the Indians and their devout at- tention to the service. Being unable to understand a word of what was said and seeing that my presence distracted the attention of the congregation, who all looked at me, probably wondering from where I came and what I could be doing there, I left the church. I, however, re- mained outside until the service was over and was interested to see how many of the women brought out their clildren, nursed them to sleep and then laying them down on the grass, returned to the service. Both by personal observation and from reports of those who have full knowledge of the facts, I learnt that the work ot Bishop Holmes amongst the Indians, although difficult and discouraging at ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. times, has been blessed with muchsuccess. It is, however, greatly hampered by want of means and those who are abundantly blessed with this world’s goods would find it difficult to dispose of their superfluous abundance in a better way than by assisting in the efforts of those earnest and devoted men who spend and are spent in their Master’s service. Any millionaire who aided this work in the effective manner so many of them could do, would raise up for himself a more enduring monument than any whichcould be chiseled out of marble. In addition he would enjoy the supreme satisfaction of knowing that he had done something for the uplifting of his fellow men. [am quite confident anyone who would enquire into this work would be deeply moved with the earnest- ness and zeal of the workers and the persevering efforts they put forth to raise the Indians and par- ticularly to teach the young better things. It is cer- tain that with extended means for carrying on the work much more might be accomplished and the lot of the Indians inthe far northern region greatly relieved. Any _ philan- thropic millionaire who would like his name to be commemorated for all has here a wonderful chance and he need only communicate with the Rev. Dr. Holmes, Bishop of Moosonee, Chapleau, Ont. to be put inthe right way. I know from the little I saw I realized, in a way no reading could make me do, the won-. derful nature of the work and the great future which liberality of means would give it. The Indians in many ways are but children and need such guidance as only those who have worked among them, like the Bishop and his coadjutors, can give them. I took about two dozen pictures at the MOUNTED CANNON AT MOOSE FACTORY. time | 615 Post, many being of the Indians, their tents, tepees, children, dogs etc. There are two mounted cannon in front of the headquarters, and I noticed others of larger size lying about at various places. Some of these were larger than the mounted ones and there were cases where they were used as supports for the buildings. I asked why there were so many cannons about and was told that they had been brought over from Europe in the early days of the Company’s troub- les with the French, at which time the whole coast was fortified within forty miles of the Post. After evening service, which was for the whites only, I spent a pleasant time with Mr. Patterson. He was greatly in- terested in the news I was able to give himas to Canada and the States. He was not aware of thepro- gress of the rail- road towards his Post nor of any of thenew towns along the line. When he was told that the railroad was within three hun- dred miles ot his retreat and that a canoe trip could be made from it to Moose in eig hit or nine days _ he said he felt he was getting very close to civilization and that he would arrange to have some Canadian mail brought in via this route. He was a fine talker and from him I learnt much that was of extreme interest. He showed me the fine collection of curios which had been gathered together at the Post during the past two hundred years. As souvenirs he presented me with three beaver tokens of one half, one quarter and one eighth in value. These were used by the Company at the time of their organization in 1670, when there was no currency in the country. The unit of value was one beaver skin, This was a value the Indians could under- 616 stand and the tokens were given to the Indians in payment for their furs and redeemed by merchandise through the Company’s store. As the use of these tokens had been discontinued for many years and these were the last in the col- lection I valued Mr. Patterson’s present accordingly. During the winter the mail is brought in from some of the outlying Posts across the Bay. Sometimes these are brought in by Eskimos who also bring in some of their furs. They come in sleds hauled by sixteen dogs driven tandem, and make from sixty to one hnndred miles across the ice per day. Mr. Patterson gave me a photograph of one of the women who on her arrival with her husband at the Post was photo- graphed. At the time she was dressed inacom- plete suit of seal skin andiscarry- ing her papoose in a skin pouch. She has fine fea- tures and is a type of perfect physical condi- tion. Mr. Pat- terson says that the true Eskimo is not an Indian but a Caucas- ian who origin- ally came from Europe via Beh- ring Straits. From aman inthe shop I purchased a lynx skin and had I been a fortnight earlier I could have had a_ fine collection of various kinds from which to make a selection, the steamer at that time having taken them out to the Island. It was with great regret that I com- menced the return journey on Monday morning. Anyone making this trip should arrange to Spend a week or ten days at Moose Factory. It is a most delightful place andmany side trips can be made with this as head quarters, including a trip on the Bay on one of the Company’s coast steamers. The steamer from Europe does not come up to the Post but to an island, eighty miles distant where there THE INDIAN ENCAMPMENT AT MOOSE FACTORY. ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. is a large warehouse. At this place they unload and reload. The coast vessels take their furs etc. to this point and bring back with them the cargo brought from across the sea. The Bishop had intended starting on his return trip the same time as we did and as we were covering the same route I ° anticipated a good deal of pleasure from his society. When the time came for starting the Bishop was delayed and we set off without him. As he was to haye three Indians in his crew while I had but two —Presque and Joseph Chuchoo, an Indian I hired at the Post, it being neces- sary to have an additional man on account of the swift water—we thought he would overtake us. We had two long poles spiked with iron points for poling and a long rope to be used for tracking, where it was possible, along the shore. Camp was made at half past six at the Rapids across’. -f.ro°m where we_ had camped on the evening of the twentieth on our way down. We left camp at halfpastseven in the morning, made a portage around = rapids and after poling all day camped a short distance above the point where we had taken dinner on the twentieth. It rained most of the day and night and we were thoroughly drenched. Wednesday, the twenty-fourth was largely a repetition of the previous day. We tracked most of the day, the water being very swift, and to complete our discomfiture it rained for the greater part of the day. None of us were sorry when we made camp at half past six. The rain continued all night andit was still raining when we lett camp at half- past seven. All day again we were pol- ing in very swift water andit was seven o’clock in the evening before we made ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. camp. It was then raining very hard and we wereon the middle of the third portage below New Post. At the entrance of this portage I found the revolver that I had lost on the nineteenth. Al- though several In- dians had passed by this revolver during that time, no one had touched it though it was in plain sight. You can leave anything about in the far north with the per- fect assurance that it will never be tak- en by a Hudson Bay Indian. The revol- ver though it had been out in many rains, was but little rusted as it was in the holster, and a little oil soon put it in good condition again. It wasnine o’clock before we _ broke camp on Friday the twenty-sixth and it was then raining hard. During the morning we made three portages and the trails were very wet, much of the low ground being covered with water owing to the great amount of rain dur- the last few days. On the first por- tage l was re-arrang- my clothes when my A VISITOR FROM THE FAR NORTH. This picture of an Eskimo woman was taken at Moose Factory in the Spring 617 pectors, consisting of six men were en- camped there and Mr. Barret said he felt as thoughhe were running a Summer Resort. A most pleasant evening, one recollections of the many pleasant ones on this trip, was spent in company with these men who had so much to tell of the backwoods and whom I was able to entertain with some news. Inlooking around the Post I noticed that several of the best skins I had seen on my previous visit were missing, amongst them those of a fine tim- ber wolf and a fine lynx, both of which I had set my mind on buying. I in- quired what had be- come of them and was told that they had also taken the fancy of the Com- missioner while he was there and he hadpurchasedthem. I managed, how- ever, to secure a fine black bear pelt and the skull ofa lynx which could be mounted in the skin I had brought down from Moose.

At half past five in the evening we reached New Post, and enjoyed shelter and hospitality. Two parties of pros- half past eight on Saturday morning. At Long Portage— three miles in length — We met Mr. Revillion, one of the brothers who own the French trading post Situated on the mainland three miles from Moose Fac- 618 tory. He was on his way to the Post at the time and had a large pile of dunnage requiring five trips across this three mile portage for each of the six Indians in his party. After negotiating this portage and paddling across a small bay we came to the portage, leading to what is known as the ‘‘Little Lakes Route.” We had de- cided upon taking this route upon our return in order to avoid the other seven portages and the several miles of very swift water from this point up the river. The first portage was fully three miles in length and in many places it was very steep. This portage was the hardest one we had to cross on the entire trip. The next portage was about two miles in length but not so hard to travel and the other portages between the last six lakes were short. At the far side of the last lake camp was made. It had rained most of the day mak- ing the brush and grass very wet on all the trails and we looked like drowned rats by the time we made camp. After supper we had to spend a considerable proportion of our time around the fire drying our clothes. We had a hard day on Sunday the twenty-eighth. Leaving camp a few minutes past eight we made a hard two mile portage coming out on the Abitibi River above the seven river portages. We went on up the stream and camped on a short portage above the rapids. As soon as we had the tent up it began to rain very hard and we had considerable trouble in keeping the fire going long enough to get some supper which we ate inside the tent. It rained heavily all night and the storm was accompanied by high winds. . During the night several trees fell near our tent. INDIANS AT MOOSE FACTORY. surveyors ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. It was still raining in the morning and we were not sorry to leave the Camp at half past seven and experience the relief of work on such a day. Later on it brightened up and we enjoyed a pleasant paddle though just as wewere put- ting up the tent it came on again and kept on the whole night. We broke camp atseven o'clock in the morning in cloudy weather. The rain kept off till ten o’clock and cleared up again as we were about to cross the portage below Buck Tail Rapids. At this point we met two Canadians who were on their way down the river. They had managed to come so far but they hesi- tated to venture further alone on account of the bad rapids below. We all had dinner to- gether and dis- cussed the situa- tion. In order to help them out I let them have the Indian I had brought with me from Moose. In the after- noon Presque and I continued on our journey and at five in the evening reached the Government Survey Camp above the Long Sault located fifty miles from McDougall’s Chute. Here we founda party of eight or ten who had arrived since our down trip. Of course we camped here and had a most pleasant evening with our new found friends. Swapping experien- ces and telling stories made the time pass all too quickly and the memories of that evening will long remain with me. I noticed that the lock we removed had not been replaced, and told Mr. Corde, the engineer in charge, that we had taken it off and our reason for so doing. He was graciously pleased to give us absolu- tion and I expressed our indebtedness for the accomodation we had enjoyed. On our way up Buck Tail Rapids we saw a _ notice nailed to the limb of _ kind to be seen along the river. _ turned back even before ROD AND GUN AND MOTOR SPORTS IN CANADA. a tree calling attention to the fact that D. Lacelle and A. F. LeFurry Of Mattawa, Ont., Were drowned at this Chute. This was one of several signs of a like Eleven men were drowned during July of the present year at different Rapids in the river. Two were brought in as we were about to start on our’ trip down the river. Most of the men were prospectors who were not familiar with the river and its dangerous rapids. An early start was made on the morn- ing of the last day of the month, half past six finding us at the paddles. Eight miles out we reached the Burnes’ Camp and made a short stay. The people present complimented us on our success- ful trip and the short time in which we had accomplished the difficult journey. Mr. Burnes indeed said that we were the first of the several parties that had passed his camp intending to go to Moose who had gone clear through. The others be- came discouraged at the manyswift rapids and long portages and most of them reaching New Post, half way down. Camp was made that night at Iroquois Falls which we reached at eight o’clock having made thirty miles, for the greater portion of the way up swift water. Three prospectors were camped here and we had pleasant company around the Camp-fire that night. They reported having found some good mineral deposits in the neigh- borhood. It was nearly eight o’clock before we left camp. During the morning we got a good drenching from the rain after which the sun came out for a _ short time and dried us a little. At four o’clock we arrived at McDougall’s Chute, twenty miles from Iroquois Falls, and made an hour’s stay, talking tothe settlers and trying a few of the soft drinks sold. At this place we were told that we had made the quickest trip to Moose that had been recorded. At five o’clock we continued ourjourney and after three portages in the hard rain, which made the going exceedingly heavy, we reached the railroad at seven o'clock. 619 As it was still raining we sought shelter ina shed across the track. There we found a number of men who had likewise taken shelter from the storm. When the rain ceased they made preparations for locking up and going away. Then I ask- ed permission to remain until the train arrived. They informed me that they had been down to the office and were told that it would not get in till two o’clock. In conclusion they invited us to go over to the Camp with them, an invitation we were very glad to accept. The cook gave us some supper and later on a good bed was made for us. After our hard day we enjoyed a delightful night’s rest. A capital breakfast was provided for us next morning and after heartily partaking of the same we went over to the railroad and loaded our outfit into one of the cars. At nine o’clock the train left for Engle- hart. Maintaining its reputation for leaving the rails it went off at three differ- ent places but succeeded in reaching its destination at half past nine in the evening. . Another night was spent in Englehart andI was fortunate in getting a room at the King Edward Hotel as they were filled up to the limit of their capacity. This frontier town, which seems des- tined to become an important place in the future, was left at half past eight in the morning and I was able to take a parlor car through to Buffalo—a great change to the experiences of the last three weeks. I had some trouble about my ticket as it was not made out on the route from Toronto to Buffalo taken by this train, but finally purchased another one between these points. The conductor looked after my baggage and got it passed by the Customs authorities and thus saved me trouble. It was Sunday morning when I reached Buffalo and found myself amongst busy scenes. rth on each tree in the woodland. The small folk have heard it, have heard and are busy. From the last goodly banquet the old earth has provided, they are gathering and storing supplies for the winter. Each tiny garner is filled to its utmost, the work of their tireless goings and comings. The wood- chucks have sensed it and are soberly stuffing their tough little hides with the fat of the clover,and are adding a layer of fat for each month they must spend curled snug in the leaves of their burrows. It has passed to birds and they pause in the riot of feeding to gather in council and discuss, in a babel of chirps and of chatterings, the time and the way of the the Going.

And like a cloud of black snow-flakes the specks in the sky wheel away with their backs to thenorth, and melt into one on the horizon. And the trees by the window are silent, and the music in thickets is gone, and the solace that one finds in his heart is that someone may hear farther on. And hark! So high that it seems to come from the sparkling stars, a faint tingling ‘‘honk !’ breaks on the ear. Through the thin air a phalanx is rushing stretched and wings swiftly beating. The main host of the retreat, like an express through a village, is coming, is gone! Down the wind comes the cry of the strong throated travellers, ‘‘Get ye gone,for behind us the cold winds are tearing their fetters !” The gray woods are silent and vacant. Once the pipe of a chicadee, small but defiant, and again the shrill call ofa squirrel, breaks into the rustle of leaves brown and stiff as they whisper together and drop to their fellows. The bright standards are fallen and the dull gray of the sky darker and sullen. <= a DISPLAY AT TORONTO INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION included everything of importance in up-to-date accessories for boat or car but not this one FEATURES One adjustment only, but a_ separate PRICE coil for each ° cylinder, 2 Cylinder coils and vibrator $24.00 in unit cases 3 Cylinder 2 Way Switch with Plug $33.00 f Distributor a Cylinder Advantages with- out distributor $40.00 faults Fine Finish for 2, 3 or 4 cylinders.
