Itisanoddthingtoeeee townlald out. with malice prepen. , as it were. with a jagged rock for a. site. and all because the rook happens to be 11MB because the rock happens to have a waterfall of forty feet and resembles the profile of an old woman. Some day when Grands Mere comes to be lmown to fame, as it will be in good time. it will be interesting to recall just how it got- its name. for by that time. perhaps, the old rock that now divides the falls and is a monument to the water power that gives the place its commercial value may have disappeared. : How long this waterfall has been booming down the St. Maurice no one can say. The Indians who first knew it have long since passed away. Heaven only knows to what remote hunting grounds. But still the falls have thunâ€" dered on without any special concern dered on Without any especial concern for the shrewd prospector. who might come along in the course of the advance of civilziation a few years ago. how- ever, the place was discovered. the reâ€" semblance to an old woman's face was seen in the rock that divides the fall. als Goat Island divides Niagara, and a wood pulp mill was built at the foot of the 50,000 horse power that from time immemorial has been going to waste over the jagged rocks. A year or two ago some capitalists found out this wasted power. Away to the north of it lay illimitable forâ€" ests of spruce timber. It required only the putting together of two and two to find here an excuse for developing ’l‘lllS Sl’LENDlD FORCE. and three months ago the work was begun in earnest. Sir William Van Home of 'the Canadian Pacific Railroad Mr. Angus of the llank of Montreal. American Secretary of War Alger, and A. l’agenctecher of New York city are among the interested capitalists. They have begun operations on a scale that has already made Grande Mere famous. Laborers are flocking to the site in great numbers, and the silent forest is transformed into the greatest acti- vity. Here some twenty odd miles up the St. Maurice River from the St. Law- rence at Three Rivers, and more than 100 miles from Montreal, in the heart of the forest, 9. city has been laid out. Where three months ago there was dense wood 800 inhabitants are at_wo.rk now blasting rock, building a railroad and digging forty feet below the river level to lay the foundations of agreat paper mill. London may be interested in this, because it is said that the pro- duct of this mill is to go abroad. ' Meantime this great work has brought together a great force of men for whom the accommodations are of the most meagre. From a howling wil- derness Grands More has come to be a. place of nearly 1,000 population, all within a very few months. A few houses exist for the managers and foreman and the habitants live as they and Italians only can live inhuts near by in the brush. But this is no half-way enterprise, and already streets have been laid out and forty houses are under way. There is a store. and with-in a month a railroad has found its way in from Garnoux Junction. There are a telegraph and a Dost 0fâ€" fice on the premises, and electric lights in the newly projected streets are only a matter of time. Mr. illaurer, the manager of the construction departâ€" ment; Mr. Hardy the; civil engineer in charge, and young Mr. Alger are build- ing fine houses on what will be called the , RIVERSIDE DRIVE. overlooking the falls. lt‘irst avenue looks out on the; river. and Broadway, so called because there is no other Side of the way at present. lies parallel, a block away. Before snow flies these streets will be alL built up, and at the further end of the town. that now ex~ ists only in a blue print from which the engineers are working, a hotel is up and only waiting for the newssary lumber with which to inclose it. The new railroad ,still a novelty; brings adozcn visitors a. day to see the works ,and any one who misses the single train each way a day may thank his lucky stars if the hoopitablc Airs. Elliot. who keeps the one boarding house in the place. can find room for him at her table. For a bed let him look for a dry place in the grass. To a visitor from the States the odd- est thing in this new town is its forâ€" eign air. The ls‘rench of Canada is’the one recognized language spoken. _ l‘he natives appear to have- no ambition to acquire English. There is practically no intermingling of the race. A week here is enough to make onc's native tongue sound like a foreign speech. But still it is a polyglut company that makes up this frontier settlement.

BOW BRITISH LAW IS ADmmsrsR- so our AT THE corn FIELDS. 1â€"iâ€" Canada‘s Government of the Klondike Meets with the Approballon of nullme Paper and Know a Where-er It Speaks. A writer in the Chicago Times-Ebr- fld. disarming the enforcement of law in the Klondike by Canada. pays a lriâ€" bute to the Dominion's management of affairs. The article says: If you containmafe joining the argoé nautio horde bound for the Knondike regionrdo not go armed to the teeth. with ammmiillon enough for a regi- ment and with the idea lurking in your brain that you. are going to be king of any particular locality that you may select. Do not imagine that you can shoot down in cold blood- some blusterâ€" ing intruder who tries to slepon your toes. No. you cannot be a king in the Klondike. For the Klondike has a sovâ€" ereign ruler already. Her name is Vicâ€" bOI'in. and she keelps one or two good commissioners and about 75 mounted police on' the ground continually to prevent aliens from forgetting themâ€" oln Canadian soil! any more than you may carry them on State street. You have to pay the taxes imposed. submit to legislation. treat your neighbor as you do yourself, avoid lawless conduct, presislen'l debuchery and gambling and then you wifll have no trouble With the luw of a.governnnen-t that in law. And the goid Commissioners who adâ€" minister it never call a spade by any other name. An additional! ‘ detachment of 31 mounted military police the picked men‘ of the Canadian service, some having been honored with commissioners to the Queen’s Diamond Jubiivee, have gone to swell the force already stationed in the north. They were detailed to colâ€" lect duties and royalties from the Klondike miners. ALIEle MTUS'D DO AS NATIVES DO. Some people Laboring under t‘he‘ popufnr fallacy that the governmental modus operand‘i. at the gold fields is that of majority rule, seem surprised at the total lack of chous and lawless- ness characteristic of the region. But Clu‘nada has madle 111p hlen mind that if aliens wish to cross her borders and work her mines they mural. do as native Canadians (loâ€"honor and submit to the inw.

And man determined to get into the Klondike and resist the enforcement olf law is bound on a silly and foolâ€" h‘urdy errand. Ilb willll be given plenty of lime to repent of his stupidity after he does get in.
