MONTREAL

The summer temperature of Montreal makes it one of the few cities of the
larger size in which people may live with comfort during the warmer months,
the heat not being enervating as in more southern latitudes.
Ail Historic Spot
Montreal is among the half-dozen historic cities of North America, where
lingers that subtle charm, which only the glamour of an eventful past can
bestow. When Jacques Cartier first visited the island in 1535, he found the

palisaded Indian village of Hochelaga, whose very existence disappeared
from all record, and whose site was utterly unknown until a few years ago,
when some remains of the aboriginal inhabitants were accidentally discovered
in the heart of the upper part of the city. The illustrious Champlain, the first
Governor of Canada, came in 161 1, and established a trading post, which he
named Place Royale, on the site of the present Custom House ; but it was not
until May 18th, 1642, that the city was founded by a band of gallant advent
urers, composed of the flower of France, who planned a town to be known as
Ville-Marie de Montreal. The leader of the expedition and the Governor of

MONTREAL

the colony was the soldier Maisonneuve, whose , memory is perpetuated in
bronze in one of the historic spots of the city, where he gallantly met and
vanquished his Indian foe. The old streets of Montreal are redolent with
legends of a turbulent past — of wars with the fierce and wily aborigine, of
French adventure and enterprise — for here dwelt the intrepid La Salle (the

"'¦¦"»¦ . Bonsecours Church
Mississippi explorer), Du L'Hut (the founder of Duluth), Cadillac (the founder
of Detroit), Bienville (the founder of New Orleans), and other adventurous
spirits whose names are still revered by posterity. Ville-Marie, was, too, the
headquarters of the great French fur-trading and exploring companies, whose
operations throughout the great west extended to the foot-hills of the Rocky

MONTREAL

Mountains and the far-off shores of Hudson Bay. It remained under the rule
of France until 1760, when Vaudreuil capitulated to General Amherst and
the ancient regime came to an end. Three years later, by the treaty of Paris,
France ceded Canada to Great Britain, and the French Canadians became
British subjects. The town was occupied for a time, in 1775, by the Ameri
cans, under General Montgomery, who afterwards was slain in a gallant but
unsuccessful assault upon Quebec, and here in the old Chateau de Ramezay,
the home of the old Governors, lived Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Chase and
Rev. Charles Carroll, the American commissioners who came to negotiate the

Royal Victoria Hospital

cession of the country to the United States. During the war of 1812-15,
Montreal was thrice threatened by invading United States forces, but for
tunately its walls were not entered by the enemy.
Since that time the development and progress of the city have been con
tinuous and rapid, until it now possesses, with its suburbs, a population of
over 360,000, two-thirds of whom are French Canadians, and boasts a wealth
equalled by no other city of its size in the world.
Montreal's Parks and Squares
The city is adorned by numerous beautiful parks and squares, among
them two that are most picturesque -The Mount Royal Park and St. Helen's
Island. Pleasant drives wind around the mountain, from which the city

MONTREAL

derives its name, and lead to the summit, from which there is a glorious
panorama of a rarely-placed city and the broad valley of the St. Lawrence,
through which the gleaming river flows to the sea. Beyond are the peaks of
Belceil, rising abruptly from the plain, eastward of which the Green Moun
tains of Vermont can be distinguished on a clear day. To the distant south
are the famed Adirondacks, and along the north run the Laurentians, which
claim precedence in antiquity over the rest of the earth's mountains. The
park is intersected by numerous walks and driveways through shady ravines and
over grassy slopes, and from the varying heights, garbed in pines and maples
and bedecked with ferns and wild flowers, magnificent views are obtainable.
The Place Viger Hotel
Facing the picturesque Place Viger square is the new Place Viger Hotel,
erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company— a late addition to its chain
of magnificent hotels, which extends from Quebec to Vancouver, and includes,

Dominion Square
amongst others, those charming resorts in the mountains of British Columbia —
Banff, Field, the Great Glacier, Revelstoke, Sicamous and North Bend. This
imposing structure occupies an historic site. The authoress of "Famous
Firesides of French Canada " in her description of this memorable place, says :
" Few visitors to this city, as the palace cars of the Canadian Pacific
Railway carry them into the mammoth station on Viger Square, realize the
historic associations which cling around this spot. In the magnificently
equipped dining-room of the Company's hotel, as delicacies from the most
distant parts of the earth are laid before the traveller, he should call to

MONTREAL

remembrance the lives of deprivation and uncomplaining endurance which
have made the ground now crowned by the beautiful edifice full of the most
tragic interest and filled with memories which will be immortal as long as
courage and stout-heartedness are honored.
" Two hundred and fifty years ago the sound of hammer and saw here
awoke the echoes of the forest. Workmen who had learned their craft in old
French towns, when Colbert the great statesman and financier, was developing
the architecture and industries, revenues and resources of the kingdom, here
reared a. windmill, the first industrial building in Montreal. The winds of

those autumns long ago turned the fans and ground the seeds of harvests
toilsomely gathered from cornfields among whose furrows many a time the
arrow and tomahawk spilt the blood of the reaper and sower. The old mill
with its pastoral associations of peaceful toil in time passed away, and was
succeeded by a structure dedicated to the art of war, for on the same spot
stood ' la Citadelle.' This stronghold, though primitive in its appointments,
was important during the French occupation and evacuation of New France,
being the last fortification held by French troops on Canadian soil.
"This old earthen citadel, a relic of mediaeval defence, was, about
seventy years ago, removed, its material being used in the levelling and

The Place Vig-er
Hotel is built in the
quaint style of the French
Renaissance, partaking of the type
of the old chateaux found on the
banks of the Loire. The general
outline and effect of the five-story
building is one of great solidity,
combined with gracefulness. It is
constructed of grey limestone and
Scotch buff firebrick, all in complete
harmony with and emphasizing the
beauties oi' its architectural design,
and, crowned by a massive tower
rising from a graceful sweep
into a great circle,
with its numerous

balcony affords a delightful resort for guests in the pleasant hours of a summer
evening. The main staircase of Carrara marble is beautifully finished, and
the general effect of the artistic decorations symbolizes the national character
of the structure, being wrought in designs of tasteful coloring. The spacious
dining-room is bright, cheerful and handsome, with luxurious appointments ;
the cuisine of that high standard maintained by the Canadian Pacific in its

unexcelled service. The magnificent drawing-room and parlors, from which
the balcony, a grand summer promenade, stretching almost the entire length
of the building, is reached, are elaborately and richly furnished, and the
sleeping apartments, from whose windows unobstructed views of the sur
roundings can be obtained, are large, well-ventilated and elegantly appointed
— the rooms being single or en suite, as may be desired . There is accom
modation for 350 guests. In the heating, lighting and sanitary arrange
ments, which were specially designed for this hotel, the acme of perfection

has been secured, and the entire building, which is modern in every respect,
is as absolutely fire proof as human ingenuity can devise.
The Place Viger hotel is advantageously situated for those reaching the
city by train or boat, being a short distance from the principal steamer docks,
and combined in its erection is the Place Viger Passenger Station of the
Canadian Pacific Railway (from which all trains leave for and arrive from
Quebec and resorts in the Laurentians, and certain trains for and from
Ottawa), and although located amidst quiet and restful surroundings, is only
a few minutes' walk from the business portion of the city, and convenient to
the city's street car system.

Chateau de Ramezay
The Place Viger Hotel is operated on the American plan. The rates are
$3.00 per day and upwards. Other Places of Interest
Amongst the many places of attraction to the tourist are the Cathedral
of St. James, an almost exact reproduction on a reduced scale of St. Peter's
at Rome ; the old parish church of Notre Dame, one of the largest edifices in
America, which seats 15,000 people, with its big bell, " le gros Bourdon," one
of the largest in the world, and its magnificent chapel in rear of the main
altar, which is adorned by valuable paintings ; the Jesuits' Church and Notre
Dame de Lourdes, famous for their magnificent frescoes ; the curious old
church of Our Lady of Bonsecours dating from 1657, with its " Little Heaven"

in the upper portion ; the Chateau de Ramezay, once the home of the Govern
ors of Canada, which contains a splendid collection of historical relics— the
"Elgin Gallery," with rare historical portraits, the " Court Room," hung
with battle scenes of the British Empire, the " Council Chamber," where
Montcalm and other great rulers sat in state, the "Salon," in which Mont
gomery met the citizens of Montreal at the time of the American invasion
of 1775, the old vaults in one of which Franklin's press was set up, etc. At
Bonsecours Market, facing the harbor, a glimpse is given of the primitive life
of the habitant, especially interesting in the forenoon of market days —
Tuesdays and Fridays. The visitor will also be interested in a visit to McGill
University, founded in 1828, one of the foremost educational institutions of the
world — a magnificently located group of buildings, which include the arts,
medical, Macdonald engineering, chemistry and mining, physics buildings,
the Redpath museum and university library, and the observatory — with a
yearly attendance of over 1,000 students; Laval University, the chief French
seat of learning, occupying amongst that nationality the same position as
McGill amongst the English ; the Seminary of Philosophy on the slope of
Mount Royal ; the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Monastery of the Franciscan
Fathers, and Little and Grand Seminaries on Sherbrooke street, with the two
historical towers, where Marguerite Bourgeois, founder of the Order of the
Congregation of Notre Dame, taught the young Indians over 250 years ago ;
Monklands, the mother house of the congregation of Notre Dame, and at
one time the official residence of the Governors of Canada ; the Monastery
of the Precious Blood, Notre Dame de Grace ; the Royal Victoria, Montreal
General, Hotel Dieu, Notre Dame and Grey Nuns hospitals ; Deaf and Dumb
Institute, directed by the Sisters of Providence, and Institute for the Blind ;
the Art Association Building, with its rare collection of paintings ; the
Natural History Association's museum, containing a famous collection of
Egyptian antiquities ; Christ Church Cathedral, a perfect specimen of Gothic
architecture, or any of the numerous edifices of other denominations ; the
City Hall, Court House, Post Office, New York Life, Canada Life, Windsor
Street Station of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Armory and drill halls and a
score or more of convents and other educational institutions ; while a drive
along Sherbrooke, Dorchester and other fashionable streets or through West-
mount, Montreal's fashionable West End, will reveal the opulent homes of
wealthy citizens.
The new building of the Bank of Montreal deserves a special visit. Its
great banking hall is a marvel of modern architecture. Its rich decoration of
marble columns and gilded capitals has been designed with exquisite taste,
and an effect of dignity and spaciousness has been produced, worthy of one
of the strongest financial institutions in the world.

Montreal's Magnificent Environments
There is no other large city in America, where a quarter or a half-hour's
journey will traverse so many scenes of varied natural beauty or places of
historic interest, or a few hours' railway trip will take one to more picturesque
solitudes of mountain, lake and stream.
The famous Lachine Rapids are at the city's doors, and to run them is a
pleasant experience which few visitors to the city miss ; Caughnawaga, an
Indian village where dwell the remnant of a once powerful tribe, is worth a
visit ; and near by are Lake St. Louis, on which have taken place some of
America's greatest aquatic contests, and the Lake of Two Mountains, where
the opportunities for yachting and boating are unsurpassed. At the foot of
this lake is St. Anne de Bellevue, where Tom Moore was inspired, by the
wealth of its beauty, to write the immortal "Canadian Boat Song." The
Laurentian mountains to the north are penetrated by the Canadian Pacific in
a virgin region of countless lakes and streams which are claimed to be the
best trout fishing waters in Canada. Both banks of the Ottawa River are
paralleled by the Canadian Pacific to the City of Ottawa, the capital of the
Dominion — the line on the western or Ontario bank leading past Caledonia
Springs, a health resort, the fame of whose waters attracts visitors from all
parts of America, and that on the eastern or Quebec side past towns near
which large and small game is abundant and fishing waters plentiful. Another
branch runs through the Eastern Townships with their rich farms and pleasant
lakes and rugged tree-clad hills — ideal resting places during the heated term ;
and from Montreal one has means of communication with all parts of America.
Within shorter distance — and reached by street-car — are equally interest
ing spots — Sault au Recollet, where there is an immense convent at which
large numbers of American young ladies are educated ; the typical French-
Canadian villages of Cartierville, St. Laurent, Cote des Neiges, Pointe aux
Trembles, Longue Pointe, near the latter being located a large asylum for the
insane, and the pleasure resorts of Bout de l'lle, etc.

Quaint Quebec
A Bit of Mediaeval Europe
in American Setting 

FEW, if any, places in America rival the ancient city of Quebec
in its attractiveness. The quaint old-walled place is the most
interesting spot historically on this western continent, and
combined with this feature is a picturesque location, perhaps
unequalled in the world. Quebec is like a transplanted
city — -a French town of olden times set down in American
surroundings, in which the chief characteristics of mediaeval
Europe and modern America are deftly and delightfully inter
woven — and around it are clustered a host of legendary
M&wtm*,**^ memories. Perched on a high promontory at the con
fluence of the St. Lawrence and St. Charles Rivers, its ' V-
situation is unique and magnificent. On the highest
point is the famed citadel, which has given to this city
the name of the "American Gibraltar," and everywhere around
are battlements, fortresses, castles, monasteries, convents and
feudal gates and towering walls. As one puts foot on
historic soil of this matchless Mecca of tourists, the
ancient and foreign aspect of the city, so wholly at
variance with the rest of the continent, is impressive.
"The quaint, picturesque figfures of the inhabitants,"
says one writer, "their alien speech, their primitive
vehicles of locomotion, their antique French houses,
huddled together and poised up high on the edge of
the cliff, the unrivalled citadel and menacing fort
ifications, he narrow, crooked streets, and windings, $
steep ascent to the Upper Town, recalls some old-
world capital — a survival of mediaeval times."
All about this ancient stronghold — first of the

French then of the English— every spot has been the merit. Quebec.

scene of stirring events. Here it was that the early discoverers of the
northern part of America first landed, and where European civilization was
first planted. Here lived those illustrious and chivalrous adventurers whose
exploits shed lustre on Old France, and from here at one time the whole
country, from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico, was governed.
Here the French made their last fight for empire in this western world, on
the Plains of Abraham, where Wolfe and Montcalm heroically fell. But for
nearly a century and a half peace has prevailed between the two great
nations, and while still redolent of the martial, and religious flavor, with
which it was characterized from its very birth, Quebec has gradually evolved
itself from a military stronghold into a bustling commercial centre and an

ideal resort for pleasure and health seekers. During the winter months,
residents and visitors alike revel in the delights of those most interesting
sports — curling, skiing, skating, hockey, snowshoeing and tobogganing —
and the opportunities for sleigh-driving in comfortable vehicles are unexcelled.
While these amusements are usually indulged in during the whole winter, a
week of sports is annually held which is an especial attraction to strangers.
In summer, Quebec is a charming rendezvous, its latitude and altitude
giving a delightful climate entirely free from the heat and discomfort
usually experienced in less favorably situated places.
But interesting and beautiful as Quebec may be, with its quaint buildings
and historical treasures, the drives and excursions about the city are no less

attractive. Amongst them are those to the Falls of Montmorency, roo feet
higher than those of Niagara, and the Chaudiere Falls, second only to the
great cataract; St. Anne de Beaupre, for two centuries and a half the Mecca
of thousands of devout pilgrims seeking restoration of health at the sacred
shrine, where a magnificent edifice, raised to the dignity of a Basilica by Pope
Pius IX., has been erected, and which is reached by a short electric railway
trip ; Beauport, bombarded by Wolfe in 1 759 ; Lorette, an Indian village,
where the remnant of the once powerful tribe of Hurons is located ; Levis,
across the St. Lawrence, where there are large military forts and engineers'

Chateau Frontenac

camps ; and many picturesque villages which dot the landscape and where
the curious primitive customs of the early French settlers still prevail.
To meet the requirements of the annually increasing volume of tourist
travel, there was recently erected at the base of the citadel a magnificent
fire-proof hotel, the Chateau Frontenac, a stately seven-storey structure,
built after the style of the French chateaux of the sixteenth century, but
of course embracing twentieth century ideas of spaciousness, convenience
and elegance. Over one million judiciously spent dollars have given the
world this marvel of architecture. Crowning the cliff, on which the famed

QUEBEC

19

Dufferin Terrace stretches its great length — the longest promenade known,
for it now extends past the citadel to the Cove Fields — hundreds of feet above
the St. Lawrence and the Lower Town, the perspective of the city, stream
and landscape seen from the windows of this unique hotel is magnificent — a
scene of both historic fame and majestic grandeur — a view of mountain,
valley, river and island, from an elevation such as no other city boasts. The
Chateau itself harmonizing as it does with its picturesque surroundings
impresses the beholder as having always being part and parcel of the granite
cliff on which it stands. In its interior the predominating mediaeval design
is carried out in elaborate detail, and its fluted columns and dainty panels are
specimens of exquisite delineation and artistic workmanship, and the apart
ments throughout are luxurious. The rates are $3.50 per day and upwards,
with special arrangements for large parties or those making prolonged visits.
Quebec is best reached via Montreal. Tourists from New York reach
Montreal by the New York Central and Rutland Roads, and those from the
New England States by the Boston & Maine and the C.P.R., and it is four
and a half hours' run from Montreal to Quebec by the Canadian Pacific
Railway, through the old French settlements along the north bank of the
St. Lawrence, or during navigation steamer can be taken down the St.
Lawrence and the return trip made by rail.

Ottawa

The Capital City
of Canada 

#the capital of Canada, is so easily reached from
^ !* #*! f C J ^"1 Monirea.1 that few visiting that commercial
¦j J, vf .,-"..; centre fail to run up to the seat of Government
to view its beauties and the magnificent scenery
around what a former Governor-General called
"that fair city with its crown of towers." The
city's site for grandeur is second only to that
of Quebec, being located on the Ottawa river,
^vag^Er, j-j^g thjrci greatest stream in volume in all
Canada, where the Rideau and Gatineau join.
It was originally called By-town, but in 1S54 the name was changed to
Ottawa, when it was selected as the political capital of the country.
Ottawa, it is claimed, is the most picturesque capital in the world, and
in many ways it is striving to be the Washington of the North. The waters
of the Ottawa, which are here set between the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec, peur over the Chaudiere Falls — resembling- in shape the rim of a
huge cauldron or kettle ; and the Rideau Falls, half a mile distant, where the
Rideau's flood leaps into the Ottawa, are so called from their likeness to a
curtain — "rideau." This waterfall also gives name to the vice-regal residence
of the Governor-General of Canada, Irom which it is only a stone's throw
distant. Across the Ottawa, opposite Rideau Hall, is the mouth of the
Gatineau, along which, before its confluence with the larger stream, are
numerous picturesque rapids. Ottawa's great
water-power has long since made it the chief
lumber and milling centre of the Domin
ion, and in its immense sawmills and
other industries are attractions to the
tourist, while to ride down the timber
slides by which the square timber of
the upper Ottawa passes uninjured
down to the navigable waters below is
an exciting experience which many visitors
enjoy. By an artificial channel, 300 yards
above the falls, rafts can pass over the incline, Vice-Regal Residence, Ottawa.

straight reaches at intervals reducing the speed. Some of these terminate
with a drop of four feet over which the raft jumps. The immense speed, the
rush of waters, the succession of chutes stretching out like sloping stairs,
timbers rocking like a bundle of reeds, and getting a momentary rush with
each incline, offer a novelty to visitors which can be enjoyed in perfect safety.
It is the national buildings, however, which are the chief gflory of Ottawa,
and the principal object of interest to strangers. They stand out boldly on
Parliament Hill, a steep promon- j torv, rising 100 feet or more from the
Ottawa River, in all the beauty A of seemingly varied architecture. The

pleasant restful places near pretty lakes and streams which are attractive to
the angler, and in the woods the hunter finds plenty of game.
Opposite Ottawa is the French city of Hull, and combined they have a
population of about 85,000.
Ottawa is reached from Montreal by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose
tracks parallel both banks of the Ottawa River, and by steamer in summer,
