.THE NORTH COUNTRY
Mr. Ed. J. 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 -

This is quite exciting as they e'eo at

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

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.

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.

terested in learning that I _met a
