OTTAWA RIVER NAVIGATION Co!"'""'^ C *-* o o c <0 > o c/) a> B t5 i 1 HIvS noble river, known to the old voya^eurs and early settlers as the " Grand River," is upwards of six hundred miles long, and has twenty tributaries of large size, besides numerous smaller ones. Beautiful, wonderful, lovely, are not extravagant or ridiculous adjectives when used to express the delight of those who, for the first time, enjoy a trip on the steamers of the Ottawa River Navi- gation Company. The Ottawa is broader two hundred and eighty miles from its mouth than it is between Ottawa city and the Lake of Two Mountains, and flows with such a strong and deep flood that the green waters of the St. Lawrence, for many miles below the confluence of the two rivers, are pressed against the southern shores. Coming from the Far North, from regions compara- tively little known, even at the pre.sent day, the~e is a certain mystery about this "Grand" river which awakens our curiosity and engenders a spirit of romance, and, as we ascend its current, the beautiful islands and the picturesque .scenery of its banks command our admiration. The Ottawa was the highway of the early French explorers, missionaries and fur-traders in their journeys from Montreal to the great lakes Huron and Superior, and the Far West. It was traversed by the red man as well as the coiireurs des dot's. It was ascended by Champlain, in 1613 — who was the first explorer, — on his voyage to discover what he had been led to suppose was the North Sea. During this voyage up the Ottawa, with two canoes, he experienced much hardship and many difficulties ; continually menaced by wandering bands of Indians, he was at la.st forced to abandon his provisions and to tru.st entirely to hunting and fishing to provide him with the nece.ssaries of life. Champlain finally reached the country of the Nipi.ssing nation, on the shores of Lake Nipissing, and, finding that the Ottawa as a route to the North Sea was a mistake, he resolved to return to Quebec, which he reached, after great hardships and privations, and he .soon afterwards sailed for France. OTTAWA. Ottawa, the Capital City of British America, dates its origin from the commencement of the Rideau Canal, under Lieut. -Col. By, Royal Engineers, in the year 1826, Following the troops that accompanied By to the .scene of operations came first the cluster of laborers' .shanties which formed around the canal's eastern terminus at Entrance Bay, with the somewhat better dwellings in which the traders who furnished the necessaries of life were accommodated. Situated at the confluence of the Glimpse at the Parliament Buildings ; Post-Office and Custom House to the left. Rideau and Gatineau with the Grand River (now called the Ottawa), each of them draining districts rich in agricultural and timber resources, and just at the point where it became necessary to rearrange the rafts brought down from the immense timber regions of the ITpper Ottawa on account of the impossibility of carrying them unbroken over the Chaudiere Falls, the village grew rapidly to be a town of importance. In 1854 ^ popula- tion of 10,000 being attained, the town was transformed by Parliament into a city under the name it has since borne, the change taking place ist of January, 1855. In i8.s7. Her Majesty fixed upon it to be the per- manent seat of government of United Canada, a decision Snaf> Shots on the Ottaxva River and Rideaii Lakes, 5 ratified and cotifinned by Parliament. In 1859 the public buildings re(iuired for the accommodation of Parliament and the Civil Service were commenced, and were com- pleted in 1.S65, causing the removal to Ottawa of an army of public officials, with their families. With the addition thereto of the population of Hull, which is practically a suburb of the political metropolis, of 1 1,265, the population of Ottawa stands at the present moment at 65,265. No other city east of Wiiniipeg has shown such a marvellous rate of growth, and warrants the belief that, at the same rate of increase, it will not be long before Ottawa will take third place among the cities of the Dominion. She now ranks second in Ontario. In point of wealth and commercial expansion and importance the development and increase go hand in hand. The front portions of the city of Ottawa stand on a succession of bluffs, and when viewed from the river are seen to great advantage. From the high cliffs, on which its noblest buildings have been erected, can be witnessed scenes of natural beauty unsurpassed by any on the con- tinent ; rich in all the varied charms of mountain, river and forest, and enhanced by the surrounding triumphs of architectural skill. To the east the river can be seen for many miles wending its way through field and forest towards the ocean. Close at hand are the timber slides by which the square timber from the Upper Ottawa .Ratting up Timber on the Ottawa.

To go down these slide.-, on a cril) of timber, as almost every visitor to the capital— from the Prince of Wales, the Princess Louise, Prince Leopold ( Duke of Albany), and the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, down to the humblest individual— has done, is as exhilarating as it is exciting.

Streets, which are planted with shade-trees and provided with drinking-fountains. Its geographical location, when compared with other cities, makes Ottawa one of the most easily accessible cities from all points of Canada, and with its seven railroads and many steamboat facil- ities, possesses more and better forwarding capabilities than any of its inland sister cities. jFCylmCr, nine miles from Ottawa, is, on account of its delightful situation, an ideal place to spend a sum- mer vacation. The Ottawa River, expanding into what is called Lake De.schenes at Aylmer, affords good fishing, and there is ample room on the broad face of the lake for boating of all kinds. The accompanying cuts of "One Tree Point" and Hotel Victoria will give those seeking "pastures new " an idea of what there is at and around Aylmer, Quebec, in the way of hotel accommo- dation and scenery.

The .story of the ' ' Heroes of the Long Sault" has been admirably told by Mr. George Murray, B.A., F.R.S.C, in his celebrated poem, " How Canada was Saved." Daulac, the captaiu of the fort, in manhood s fiery prime, Hath sworn by some immortal deed to make his name sublime ; And sixteen soldiers of the Cross, his comrades true and tried. Have pledged their faith for life and death, all kneeling side by side. And this their oath, ou flood or field, to challenge face to face The ruthless hordes of Iroquois— the scourges of their race- No quarter to accept or grant, and, loyal to the grave. To die, like martyrs, for the land they had shed their blood to save. Soft was the breath of balmy Spring in that fair mouth of May, The wild flowerbloomed— the Spring bird sang on many a budding spray— Wheu, loud and high, a thrilling cry dispelled the magic charm, And scouts came hurrying (rom the woods to bid their comrades arm, And bark canoes skimmed lightly down the torrent of the Sault, Manned by three hundred dusky forms— the long expected foe. Eight days of varied horrors passed ; what boots it now to tell How the pale tenants of the fort heroically fell ? Hunger and thirst, and sleeplessness, Death's ghastly aids, at length Marred and defaced their comely forms, and quelled their giant strength. The ends draws nigh— they yearn to die-one glorious rally more For the sake of Ville-Marie, and all will soon be o'er ; Sure of the martyr's golden crown, they shrink not from the cross. Life yielded for the laud they love, they scorn to reckon loss. The fort is fired, and through the flame, with slippery, splashing tread. The Redmen stumble to the camp, o'er ramparts of the dead ; There, with set teeth and nostrils wide, Daulac, the dauntless, stood, And dealt his foes remorseless blows, 'mid blinding smoke and blood. 'Till, hacked and hewn, he reel'dto earth, with proud, unconquered glance. Dead— but immortalized by death— Leonidas of France ! True to their oath, his comrade knights no quarter basely craved— So died the peerle.ss twenty-two— io Canada was saved. Soon we approach Carillon, and from the train have a full view of the great Carillon Dam. This dam, built across the river to increase the depth of water in the Carillon Cane, is one of the greatest triumphs of engi- neering skill in the Dominion. It was constructed by the Dominion Government at a total cost of $1,350,000 ; it is two thousand four hundred feet long and twelve feet high, and was completed in iSSi.

Four chapels are built at intervals on the road to the top of the mountain, and on its summit three other chapels are visible from the deck of the steamer. These chapels (the stations of the Cross) were built by Rev. Father r The Oka Church and Seminary. Frangois Picquet, who came from France to Canada in 1733, and was in charge of the mission of the Lake of Two Mountains. The chapels were built about 1740; and in each of the .seven there is an extraordinary carving of wood, representing the mysteries of the Passion of our Lord. It is recorded that these wonderful carvings were made by a Canadian,, who, in the words of a welUknown prie.st, "had more good-will than capacity "—but it is uncertain when the carvings were placed in the chapels, probably al)out the middle of the last century. Old oil paintings, which Avere first placed in the largest chapel on the summit of Calvaire by Father Picquet, works of art and copies of tlie great ICuropean masters, were removed, many years ago, to the church at Oka, to save them from destruction, where they may be .seen to-day. Every year, on the 14th of September, a pilgrimage takes place to tlie summit of Calvaire. The " Fete du Calvaire" pilgrimage is religiou.sly attended by all I'rench Canadians within a radius of thirty miles from Oka. Many steamers are employed in carrying the pilgrims to •^.

ECS CWPPiStCS. The smaller elevation to the east of Mont Calvaire is the site of the first Trappist monastery— this building is now used as an agricultural college— but in the valley beyond the hill, hidden from view, is the new monastery of La Trappe, which was built in 1892. This is a fine suVjstantial stone building, and has ample accommodation for a large number of visitors. The Trappists are agriculturists, and a visit to their large farm, orchards and vineyards is the most convincing proof that they are successful and scientific farmers. The fine thoroughbred scock of cattle, horses, sheep and swine of many breeds delight the eye of the stock-raiser. The Trappists' cheese, Port-du-Salut, has a world-wide reputation, and sells as high as imported Swiss cheese ; and as fabricators of wine and cider they keep up their old world reputation. The rules of the order of La Trappe monks are very strict, and only male visitors are admitted into the monastery— ladies are politely stopped at the threshold ; no conversation between the members of the order is permitted, except by special permission of the abbot, and then as few words as possible must be used.

Forget and others of prominent citizens of the metropolis of Canada are visible through the trees. When the whole Bout-del'Isle was thick forest, the domain of Boisbriant — a fief noble— was granted by the King of France, in 1672, to Sidrac du Gue, sieur de Boisbriant, and the first house was erected in that year. Du Gue sold this fief, in 1679, to Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil and Jacques Le Ber, merchant princes and fur traders. The tower on the top of the hill is the ruin of an old windmill erected by L,e Ber in 1688. This mill was loopholed for musketry as a protection against the In- dians. The Iroquois succeeded in burning this mill in 1691, after a very gallant defence made by Le Ber and his people. Tort ScnnCVilk, the ruins of which are situated on the shore of the lake, immediately below the fortified wind- mill, may easily be discerned from the deck of the steamer. This fort was built by Le Ber's son, it is supposed, about 1693. The fort consisted of a manor house, courtyard, and four towers or bastions, which commanded all approaches either from the land or the water. A large trade was carried on here with the Indians, and several hostile attacks were made on the fort at dif- ferent times by the Iro- quois and M o h a w k s .

Truly, if we do overcome Nature, she has her revenge, for when the ugliness of our handiwork falls into ruin, she works them up into picturesqueness, and, festooning them with verdure, smothers their hard and ungraceful outlines. Tourists should not otuit to visit this old relic, which recalls the heroic times of our country's history. We pass quite close to Dr. Gird wood's island, disclosing the extensive green-houses and forcing- hou.ses on it, and shortly afterwards we arrive at St. Anne-de-Bellevue. The steamer goes through a lock there, thence ander the two iron bridges of the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific lines betv.'een Montreal and Toronto. These fine structures demonstrate two dif- ferent styles of iron bridges, viz., the former that of seven and thirty years ago, and the latter that of the present cantilever style of bridge ; and it is remarkable that these two samples of great engineering skill should be placed within fifty-five feet of each other.

The voyage was really only supposed to have begun in earnest when St. Anne was left behind. This little old church was built in 1703. It was at St. Anne that Tom Moore, while passing down the Ottawa in canoes, .saw something of the fur-trading life, and was ; Fort Senneville. near Boisbriant. inspired to write his musical "Canadian Boat Song," which has made the locality famous. Leaving St. Anne, the .steamer crosses over to the south .shore and .skirts along for some distance the north- ern shore of He Perrot. This island takes its name from Monsieur Perrot, a great fur-trader, who established a trading-post on the i.sland in 1670. The steamer passes quite near to Sherringham Park, a delightful picnic ground on He Perrot. and the resort of pleasure-seekers (brought there by steamer specially chartered for the occasion), who find here all the nece.s- •sary conveniences, combined with fresh air. fine shade trees, excellent boating and fi.shing, for a day's outing.

It will be completed ni the summer of 1X99- After passing under the bridge, through the centre span, the city of Montreal comes into sight.
