A slight drizzle was on the program, but by , the time we got to Walton we drove in a down -pour until near Dundas, ' where we had to have temporary re- I pairs made to the car, as the rain caused a short circuit on the lights.1 .After getting past Hamilton, the{ rain continued right into Toronto. , Tuesday morning at 9 aem. wel boarded the C.N.R. train and there met many newspapef' friends, and they continued to get on at the var- ious stations right on into Montreal. Many stayed over in Montreal, tak- ing sleepers later in the evening and arriving in Quebec the next morning. We, however, decided to make for Quebec and only had to change from one train to the other across the platform, and we were soon going over.the big bridge which crosses he the old St. Lawrence. These trains are all well eqdipped and service is excellent. One car, as well as the smokee, is equipped with a radio and passengers may hear excellent programs of music while the train is rushing to the ancient city. At one point, while at dinner at night we passed many large iron pillars and we learned from our wait- er that they were the new Marconi wireless stations for overseas. We arrived in Quebec about 10 o'eloch and were able to secure a very com- fortable room at the Chateau Peon- tenac.

A feature of the afternoon's session was an address delivered by Hugh Savage, of Duncan, B.C., who gave a moat interesting account of his experience as the Association's delegate to the Third Imperial Press Conference, which took place recent- ly in Australia, and had many pap- ers to show the Association on the generalmake up of papers in that country. The Convention adjourned at 4 o'clock when the Editors and their wives visited the Citadel,. fortifica- tions and other historic spots. In the evening the Canadian Pacific Rail- way were hosts of the members of the Press Association at a ball. Thursday morning Hon. Frank Carrel, Publisher of the Daily Chron- icle -Telegraph, of Quebec, and who is also President of the Daily Press Association of Canada, also a member of the Quebec Legislature, gave an address full of optimism of the fut- ure of Canada. In the afternoon the members of the Association left by special train for Ste. Anne de Beaupre, and upon arrival there, were met by one of the Redcmptorist Fathers, who told the early history of Sainte Anne de Beaupre. This is a very pretty lit- tle village and is situated 21 miles below Quebec. The shrine of Ste. Anne has been O point of pious pilgrimage eince the first establishment in Canada, The Basilica was built in 1876 and de- stroyed by fire March 29th, 1922, and to 7 weeks a wooden temporary church was finished and is still be- ing used,' The visitors ware also tak- en to the Scala Sancta.

Friday morning the Convention closed and at 1 o'clock the party left on the steamer, "Cape Diamond" for a trip down the St Lawrence and then up the Saguenay to Chicouti- mi. The boat arrived at Merray Bay and a dinner and dance were , served at ltanor Richelieu. I On Murray Bay is a great sum- , mer resort for Americans an.d it is here that ex -President Taft, has hie summer home. The Manor Richelieu, !standing on a precipitous escarp- ment, in a natural grove of stately pine and balsam, two hundred feet above the river, is the finest and most luxurious resort hotel in Eastern Canada, having all modern conven- iences and at the same time located in the heart of the Laurentin moun- tain district, noted for its wonderful, clear, cool summer climatic condi- tions, and the rugged grandeur of the country surrounding it. It is the center of soeial •activities on the St. Lawrence; its ball and banquet rooms are noted for their many delightful functions; these, with salt water bathing, riding school, mountain climbing, lawn bowling, tennis and golf, have earned for it the reputa- tion of being the Newport of Can- ada. just here we will say that 'Quote Richelieu is no place for the working man, the rates are: 1 per- son, $9; $10 and $12 per day, and for 2 persons, $16, $18, $20 and $22 a day. The boat got away at 11.30 and about 1 o'clock Saturday morn- ing; reached' Tadousac, another beau- tifully situated resort on the lower St. Lawrence. It is undoubtedly the. oldest European settlement in Can- ada, and perhaps in America. Be- fore Champlain began to build Que- bec it existed; even before Jacques Cartier sailed from St. Male to .dis- cover Canada, Tadousac was the re- sort of the Basque-- fisheinnen: not only were the Basques here before Jacques Cartier, but their ancestors, the sea roving Iberians., visited the Bay of Tadousac before Colombus was born. Here was erected the first church in Canada (1647). The oil- giinal little church still remains standing, and the Angelus ie rung out to -day with the same bell with which it was sounded over no years ago. Tt is here at Tadousac where the Saguenay river enters the St Law- rence. The boat was due to arrive at -Chicoutimi at 10 o'clock, but was late in arriving and the trip to the Aluminum works had to he cancelled, 20 Tons Honey berellE LITTLE BEES are very anxious these days for the cio ver is yielding nectar when days are at all favorable.

The Dominion Goveri.. ment spent $7,500,000 to erect Ole dam. The Chicoutimi Pulp and Pap- er Co. pays the Government intermt on the money, an annual payment for sinking fund, and a sum for maintenance. This same plan has been followed in several other cases in the province, the Government pro- viding thtmoney to conetruct the power development, and the compan- ies benefited paying the interest, making a small annual payment on the principal, and cost of operation. This industry is being enabled to de- velop when otherwiee the heavy in - Wel expense might be prohibitive. At the camp dinner was served and speeches made by the Mayor and citizens of Chicoutimi and also by members of the Press party. At 1 o'rlock the boat started back for Que bee and all were off at 9 o'clock the next morning, Sunday. Quebec City, as every history read- er knows, has been the sentinel city that guards the gates a the St. Law- rence and presents to -day unparalled records and vestiges of the historic past. There are two cities to be seen —the old French city, the Quebec of the Neventeenth century, and the an- eient capital of Ceneda, and medeee Quebec, the provincial capital of to- day. The Chateau Frontenae, the headquarters of the Press party, is a magnificient hotel, modified on thp plan of the sixteenth century Chat- eaux, and just outside the doors is the famous Dufferin Terraee, where all classes parade and daily band concerts are given by the Garrison Band. Up the hill to the west are the Plains of Abraham and right across the river from the hotel is Lev- is. Last January part of the Chat- eau Frontenac was destroyed by fire and thereconstruction has only re- cently been completed at a cost of $4.,250,0010n The month of June this year is far ahead of other years for the tourist trade, and already conven- tions Ore securing dates for 1927. The fact that some days as many as five thousand meals are served at the Chateau indicates what the presence of conventions means to the hotel. The Chateau staff, which now num- bers eight hundred persons, has been quite able to handle the situation and keep up the hostelry's reputation for quick and efficient services. It would be an impossible task to figure out exactly how many tourists visit the Ancient Capital in any given period or what the total amount of their expenditures there would be. It is fairly certain, however, that every tourist that gees to Quebec spends between ten and twenty dollars a day, and from this fact some idea can be gained of the immense value of the tourist trade not only to the hotels, but to the merchants, res- tauranteurs, cab drivers and the pub- lic at large. • Sunday afternoon .at 1.20 p.m. our party left Quebec and arrived in Montreal at 6,30 and were soon treated to a turkey dinner at the Queen's Hotel. Monday morning was a busy time for the ladies on 0 shopping tour and two of the men folk went down to the docks and were fortunate enough to be allow- ed on the Melita, a naw C.P.R. ocean liner. 'After lunch our party hired carriages and drove through Old Moutreal, the new section, and made o ViSit to Notre Dame Cathedral, ono of the second largest on the contin- ent, then lap to the top of Mount ROA whose summit covers 475 acres for a people's playground.

The Laurentides National Park, Province of 'Quebec, is an immense territory of 3,700 square miles situ- ated to the north east of Quebec, and has been established to serve as a place of amusement, as well as a hunting and fishing territory. The park is wonderfully picturesque and is crossed by rivers and lakes; the eforest is virgin, and there are num- erous fine mountains. The Depart- ment of Colonization which is in charge of this park, has constructed comfortable and well equipped camps which it leases to sportsmen. The Department owns a particularly fine camp, called Camp Perrault, on Lake St Ann, situated just beyond Murray Bay, in a territory famed for its fish- ing, as well as for its scenery. Good roads lead from St. Urbain to the Camp. 4111111.11.
