Whittaker of the Geol- ogical Survey, of Canada, who has been in town over the week end en route to Ottawa, has just completed a successful season of field work for, the Denartnient, in the eMaekenzie River District, nortlwest Territories. Mr, Whittaker left Ottawa the begin - Bing of May for the purpose of map- ping varioue belts of oil-bearing- rocks to the* see& and west of Great Slave i Lake as *ell as to scertain any ag- ricultural' possibilities in this region. We feel certain that the following notes on his trip- into this compare- twely unknown ection of Canada will be of interest to many of our readers. Mr. Whittaker says in rekrt: The outfitting point for all expedi- tions into the North Conntry is Ed- monton, arid the actual starting' point every spice the Dunvegan and British Columbia railroad has been completed is Peace River Cressing. This re- moves some of the picturesqueness of the journey in the olden days, when al'. parties floated in WOW'S down. the Athabasca River and ran and portag • ed over the ninety miles of rapids a- bove Fort McMurray. But the Peace River route has changed all that. Af- ter having procured our supplies, we went down the Peace some three hun- dred and fifty miles to the Vermilion Chutes, the first natural obstalce in the river. The Peace is a very fine, majestic river,and with its lofty banks 'well wooded, and with literally hun- dre* of green islands which have been formed from mud brought down by the river. As we go down, the hills decrease dn height until at Fort Vermilion a short distance above the Chutes, the water level ts only thirty feet lower than the surrounding coun- try. Farming .has been attempted here with considerable success, but poor mean e of transportation up the river militate against it. Fort Ver - milieu is the trading centre foe a radius of a hundred miles, and is one of the most profitable posts of the Hudson Bay Conmarty. The Chutes are certainly worthy of notice, Here the Peace is over a mile wide and has i very swift cur - down more e the upper ken across beanis while 11114041************0040010 .1040040.0404,...i0404Cileeve rent. Boats dare not go than a short distance abo rapid. All freight is the four mile portage b the empty scows are run through. This is quite exciting as they e'eo at tremenduous speed through huge waves constantly threatening to en- gulf them. At the lower end of the rapids there is a ttraight drop of a- bout eight feet. While was there. one scow got loose whiWrietbe men were preparing to put it over this bad nlace-and it came over the very steep- est part sideways. It broke right in two pieces as the men scrambled like monkeys for any spot they could grasp. Fortunately none were drowned -but they had a narrow es- cape. I remained at the Chutes for nearly two week e awaiting the arrival of. Dr. Kindle, chief palaeontologist of the and rocks in which laudable effort he survey and party and when they came we continued our journey down the Peace. The river continues very wide while the country rises again to a height of over 200 feet above the river. A beautiful view is obtained here of the Caribon mountains a- bout sixty miles away, which are re- puted to be especially abundant in Moose and other game, We ran the Little Rapids about one hundred miles below the Chutes and they present our last obstacle to navigation on the Peace, at least in high water.

The Seaforth Agricultural Society were favored with perfect weather for their annual fair held on Thursday and Friday of last week, consequently there was a record attendance on Fri- Slave River is practically a contin- uation of the Peace, being a junction of the latter and a sm,a1.1 stream flowing out of Lake Athabasca. the Becher River. The Rocher is worthy of note because the current flows both ways at different times of the year, In the spring the ,Peace attains a stage of high water, much snore quickly than does Lake Athabasca, and at such a time the Rocher flows South into the lake.: This continues until an equilibrium is reached, by the lake rising above the elevel of the outlet of the Peace, and then the Rocher 'flows its natural direction north into the Slave River. pie entered the Slave River by one of the numerous channels on the letti of June and were examining the oil bearine limestones exposed at inter- vals along its shores for several days. • Great Granite -Islands on the east side lend a .wonderful air of picturesque- ness to the river. We arrived at Fort Fitzgerald on the 20thoof the menth, just in time to get our monthly bud- get of mail despatched, for -which we were very -thankful. They are no twice -a -day -deliveries 'down in the North country. " Below Fort Simpson on the Mackenze, they gett two mails a year --one in winter and one in sum - (The reader will pardon. this digression). Sixteen miles of rapids over granite rock's constitute the next and lasenbarrier to navigation. All the freigit is hauled. by teams across a quite gbod wagon road. This work is performed by Indians with their tough little ponies. An Indian who has bee -n engaged in the extremely lu- crative business ofhauling freights across the portage becomes quite de moralized and utterly refuses to en- gage in such pursuits as hunting and fishing as in the old days, but lingers around the' Fort as long as his money lasts and then starves through the winter. At the lower end of the Portage is Fort Smith, where are located the government hoepital,the Catholic mis- sion and the Hudson Bay offices, mak- ing it one of the most important posts in the Mackenzie district. The fishing here is very fine, as all the fish coming up from Great Slave Lake are pre- -vented from going farther by the rap- ids. The roar of the falls can be plain- ly heard several miles away. After a short interval we left for Fort Reso- lution at the outlet of Slave River. is more or less successful. The man on the line is soon made aware of the fact of the canoe being stuck both by the additional pull and by the mild languege with which the man in the canoe implores it, to come back off the rock. There were fifty-two rapids in the riyer, through which we had to take our boat. The river flows through rocky cliffs which steadily in- crease in height until we reach the gorge in which there are five miles of almost continuops rapids. But at the head of the gorge is a sight which amply repaid us for all our labor. Dropping into a chafer' 125 feet deep the river plunges over the rocky cliff forming the Alexander Falls. These have been very seldom seen by white men. • Bishop - Bompas, the Anglican missionary was the first to see them and gave them their name in. honor of the Princess of Wales. The -waters of the river are tea -colored and in the • sunlight the spray was wonderfully il- but ever shifting, were two gorgeous rairmows. The general aspect of the fall reminds one much of Niagara, though, of course the amount of water in the river is much smaller. The region above the falls is entirely uninhabited as is seen by the great abundance of game of all kinds. More- over the Portage around the falls shows that it is practically never us- ed. We soon got, our work done up here and started dbwn stream. We ran all the -rapids except two. where the risk appeared too • geeat land ar- rived down at the moat( of the Hay River Post where we einteaged a few days rest before starting back ort our trip- out. Coming 'back we pursued the same route up to the Rocher River, which we ascended and into Lake Athabasca and up the river of that name. We arrived at For McMurray on the last day of August and reached Edmonton nine days later partly by way of a new railroad which will ultimately reach the Fort, As for agricultural possibilities, the small garden truck stands a fair chance of being successfully grown two out of every three years. Frosts interfere considerably now and then. Although the season is short the growth is very rapid owing to the al- most continuous daylight in these northern latitudes. On Great Slave Lake the sun in June, rose at 2 a.m. and set at _11 p.m. Down the Mac- kenzie there is continuous daylight with the sun never below the horizon in the summer. But even this great amount of daylight will not permit of grain maturing here, so that for many years to come at least, this country's wealth will consist as it has been in the past, of furs and game of all sorts.
