There is considerable tree planting activity along the Medicine Hat division of the Canadian Pacific Railway. At Shaekleton alone twenty-five bundles of small tireee were received the other day from the Forestry Branch at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, and all are now planted. Cluny and other villages are competing actively. Equaling the speed across the Atlantic ocean made by passenger liners of medium size, the five 10,000 ton vessels of the "Beaver" class have been achieving records in oceanic freight transportation for the Canadian Pacific Steamships. The speedy quintette of freighters joined the company's fleet this year and have been running on as frequent and rapid a service between Canada and Europe as many passenger boats. Chicago. -- "Smiling Billy Ho-gan," veteran C.P.R. conductor, took "The Mountaineer," Canadian Pacific flyer from Chicago to Vancouver out in its initial run of the season this year. The train is one of the "Big Five"--C.P.R. trains de Lux operating from Chicago and the east of Canada across the continent during the summer. Conductor Hogan joined the "Soo" line in 1886 as stoker on the old Wisconsin Railway, and is to-day one of the veterans of the company. Montreal.-- A new era in Canadian trans-Atlantic passenger history, has been inaugurated in Montreal, where the fine new liner "Duchess of Bedford" docked recently. The new 20,000 ton vessel, the largest to ascend the St. Lawrence to Montreal, is the first of four cabin class sister ships of the new "Duchess" type, which will supplement the Canadian Pacific's trans-Atlantic and winter cruise services. Speakers at the banquet held on board on arrival in Montreal after her maiden voyage eulogized the occasion as an event of national significance. The Feast of St. John the Baptist, greatest of French Canadian religious spectacles, will be celebrated throughout the province of Quebec shortly, f The Montreal baseball stadium, which will accommodate 25,000 persons, will be crowded by spectators of a French Canadian oratorio, to be followed by a spectacular fireworks dj On the Sunday aftefmoon, floats, depicting French Canadian jongs, many bands, and over 10,000 singers and minstrels, will come together in a procession several miles long through the streets of Montreal. THE LURE OF THE LAURENTIANS ioying f the NorUi River (IX, Off f i the wings of t *J""he Spring Floods in the Laurentians have in no way affected the fishing in that district, sportsmen returning to Montreal have stated, adding that the fish are biting better than previous years and that the catch has exceeded their past records. The Laurentians, so popular during the winter for skiers, enjoy in reality a year round favour in the eyes of holiday hunters, and have at every season some particular attraction to offer. At present the fishing is bringing many sportsmen up into the mountains, and as usual this is proving to be of the best. The Mont Tremblant district is perhaps the most attractive and interesting in the Laurentians. This mountain was known to the Indians as "Manitou Ewitchi-Saga" signifying, the "Mountain of the Dread Manitou," and the legendary dominating power of the range, beneath whose wrath the whole district trembled. There are beautiful lakes not far from Mont Tremblant, Lake Gauthier and Lake Ouimet, where a hotel and summer cottages have been built and good fishing abounds. The district north of Mont Tremblant is a pathless wilderness stretching as far north as the Arctio Circle, with no settlements whatever. The only human habitations are those of lumbermen and hunters, who canoe up the Devil's River and the intervening lakes during the fall of the year, making their permanent camp about one hundred miles north of Mont Tremblant. Access to this recreation land is provided by the Canadian Pacific Railway from Montreal to such places as Shawbridge, Piedmont, Ste. Marguerite, Val Morin, Ste. Agathe, Ivry.'St. Faustin, Labelle and Mont Laurier, and the end of the line. The line running north from Ottawa to Maniwaki is no less liked and carries many anglers northwards from the capital for a spring vacation with rod and line at this Try Our Job Printing Department for Good Printing on Good Paper, at Reasonable Prices.
