New Ontario has only recently been introdnee(1 to the people of Canada, end the great majority have yet to be - mune acquainted with its resources and its beauty. Many people of leisure cross the ocean to spend their vacation by the lakes and mountains of Western Europe and those who cannot do so perhaps reach Ohl Orchard Beach or the Catskill Mountains which they consider the pinnacle of happiness, when within a few haus tr:wel by rail, in the "Highlands of Ontm•io," lie lakes and islands and mountains enough to satisfy the most exacting imagination. The district of Ni sf.-:ing is well sup- plied with lakes and rivers which sup- ply power for the many saw -mills, which are such a necessity to that district. Iu most of the lakes. fish, is to be had in abuxidance; in Lake Nipissing the fa,nou§ stnlgeon is being Hauled out in gi'eat quantities. Early in April the fishermen go in with their nets and quite often bring out fish 0 feet long and weighing from 100 to 130 lbs. In the smaller lakes, pickerel and the salmon trout are found. The golden pickerel is one of the choicest of the finny tribe. The meat is white and solid and when salted and smoked as is freqryuently done, they are a wel- come addition to the table in a coun- try where fresh meat is held at snch a pI•emium. Farm pt'odttee of ail kinds is a good figure. especially that of the dairy. A11 winter, eggs were quoted at 35e per dozen and butter at 25c to 28c in and around North Bay, and farmers supplied the town with wood at $0 per cora. Lake Nipissing is connected by rivers, with a chain of shall hakes -which thread their way far into the ry, district. The largest of these, Trout Lakes, is one of the prettiest in the district. It is about 10 miles long -and :3 miles wide and is dotted with many beautiful islands which are the haunts of loons and singing birds of many kinds, besides it is the remains of what was once a fine deer park, now discarded. It is becoming quite a summer resort and on its shores are built rustic cottages by people who tire of the bustle of town life. There is also a fine summer hotel built on the water's edge. The lake is peculiarly calm, even in storm. One afternoon a party of us were enjoying a sail in a gasoline launch owned by one of the cottagers and when about 2 miles out the spring flew off the engine and we were brought to a standstill ; the rain was beginning to fall and in a few minutes we were in the midst of a terrific rain- storm ; as the rain descended and re- bounded from the water, the sun shone overhead and it seemed as if a million gas -jets were lying on the water. It was one of the prettiest sights 1 ever witnessed, after an hour spent in endeavoring to improvise a spring out of hair -pins, safety -pins, etc., we sculled our boat to shore and were soon drying our wet clothes be- side a roaring fire in a wide old- fashioned fire -place in one of the cot- tages. The only' drawback in that ideal spot, is the presence of innumerable bands of sand -flies, black -flies, and mosquitoes, which., in time, is apt to spoil one's temper unless they are de- termined to be good-natured. Following the chain of lakes a few miles farther back, the woods become more dense, wolves and hears seek re- fuge in their solitude, with an oc- casional raid to the sheep -pen of a neighboring farmer. The deer stalks about in goodly numbers and some- times wander out to the clearing in groups of three or four, to pay the penalty, perhaps, "covered" by the rifle. The woods are inhabited by songsters of every description ; scarlet ,birds, yellow and scarlet, black and scarlet, each vieing with the other in their outbursts of song, while the Canada bird, the whip -poor -will, the hoot of the owl and the cry of the loon mingled with the chorus of hun- dreds of yellow canaries, make a tre- mendous hubbub on a summer morn - Tait MUSKQICA LAKES. !Notes by The Editor.) • THE WII GHAM ADVANCE treveiler ceases to Wonder what the daily express trains and boats do with their scores of passenger's booked for Muskoka.

The sun -glinted waters, the the next wharf from which the signal ever-changing shore, the clear and in- vigorating atmosphere, interest sus- tained by constant change of scene, all have a part in adding enjoyment to the trip. We are now in Lake Muskoka, the most southerly of the three lakes known as the Muskoka Sakes. Per- haps a word of explanation here may not he out of place. Lake Muskoka extends in length from Muskoka Wharf to Port Carling, a distance of twenty-one miles. At Port Carling, after passing through the lock, we enter Lake Rosseau, at the head of which is the village of Rosseau, twelve miles from Port Carling, although the distance travelled by the steamers, as they call at the various stopping places, is much greater. On our way from Port Carliug to Rosseau we pass Port Sandfield, where, by a narrow channel, we may, if we wish, enter the third lake, Lake Joseph, which is probably £o urteen miles in length. t . At the head of this lake is Port Cockburn, , forty-five miles distant from Muskoka Wharf, oar starting point. Here, if the traveller wishes to, he may- take the stage seven or eight miles to Maple Lake, a station on the Atlantic railway, and a short run will bring him to the Georgian Bay, where he may by steamer have a delightful trip through the islands from Parry Sound to Collingwood. The width of the Muskoka stakes varies from a narrow channel of but a few rods to perhaps seven or eight miles. Froin what we have noted, our readers niay gather that from Muskoka Whax•£ to Rosseau is about 33 miles, while from the same starting point to Port Cockburn, fat the head of Lake Joseph, is 45 miles. In either case the tourist must pass through the lock at Port Carling. Should the traveller choose the last named place (or any adjacent port of call) as his resting place, several most enjoyable trips may be taken. He may take the morning boat and go to Rosseau, Bala or Port Cockburn and return by the evening boat, or he may take the trip up the Muskoka river to Bracebridge. At Rosseau he may take a canoe trip up Shadow river and be charmed with the scenery and attrac- tions of that famed river, Beside the regular daily trips of the lake boats, the guests of the various summer re- sorts frequently organize yachting parties, and engage a steam yacht car- rying thirty persons, so that the charge to each person for a day or half day's sail is reduced to a minimum. The Muskoka Lakes are fed by sev- eral rivers and streams. %There is the Muskoka river, entering Muskoka lake about half way between Muskoka Wharf and Beatunaris, on the eastern shore, and at Port Carling the Indian river adds its quota to the waters of the lake. The Dee river runs into Lake Rosseau from Three Mile lake, near Windermere. Skeleton river con- nects Skeleton Iake with Lake Ros- seau ; Rosseau river (on which are the pretty Rosseau falls) also feeds Lake osseau, while Shadow river, the pret- tiest of them a11, contributes its share to the waters of these lakes. The out- lets of these lakes are the Moon and Muskosh rivers, issuing from Lake ,Dluskoka, at Bala, and emptying into the Georgian Bay.

Another feature of these lakes is the laundry boat, which as its name indi- 'catee calls for the soiled garments, re- turning them in time for the weekly change, The most expensively built and completely equipped hotel an the Muskoka Lakes is the • "Royal Mus- koka" owned and controlled by the Muskoka Lakes Navigation Co. It is on Lake Rosseau, in the centre of the lake district, and is said to be 1,000 feet above the level Of the sea. It was built in 1901, at a cosi; of $170,000, and is the largest and most elaborate sum- mer hotel in Canada; in fact, there are few better on the .continent. The grounds covers 130 acres, and com- prise amusement grounds, for tennis, golf, bowling, etc., and shady walks in groves of birch, The rotunda is 40x100 feet with an open roof to the reflex's forty feet high; here are palms, open tables for coi'rep aden ce, p en IIre places, etc. The hotel can accom- modate over 400 guests, and there are single, double or suite rooms, with baths, hot and cold water, electric bells and light, with telegraph and telephone service in the office. The location and equipment of the Royal Muskoka make it the leading resort of the lakes, for all who can pay the price of $3 per day or $20 a week. Its eusine, and in feet everything con- nected with the establishment is strictly first-class. Personally, we choose a stopping place of lesser proportions, and more suited to the ordinary purse, There is excellent choice, and the tourist can have just about what he desires. If he wants life and gayety, he may' find these. If he wishes quiet and rest, with good moral influences, and at the sante time, good-booiety, he will have no difficulty in finding these. So far as the writer is concerned, he has found the Elgin House a most de- lightful place. It is beautifully situ- ated on Lake Joseph, three-quarters of a anile from Port Sandfield, and has a daily nail. It has been enlarged and with its cottages can accom- modate 150 guests. No questionable amusements are allowed and the moral atmosphere is all that can be desired. The proprietor, Mr. Love, has, at his own expense erected a com- modious Tabernacle for Sunday ser- vices which the guests enjoy twice each Lord's day. It was opened on July 29th, Rev. Dr. Breckin of Toron- to taking the morning service and Rev. W. F. Wilson, and others, the evening service. Mr. Love is most obliging, and spares no effort to make his guests comfortable. There are bowling and tennis grounds, excellent' boating, spacious verandas, large par- lor 1tnd post -office in the building. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the dining -room large and airy, while the table is furnished with fresh milk and eggs from Mr. Love's fartnfn con- nection, besides the delicacies of the season arrive by the daily boats. No reasonable person can possibly find fault with either the accotnniodation or the table supplies at the Elgin House. We can confidently recom- mend it to all who want a quiet, rest- ful vacation, with pleasant excursion trips within daily reach. But we mast draw these notes to a close. Ere we do so, we pause to re- mark on the grandeur of our Ca- nadian heritage. We • have the mighty river, and the greatest lakes. Superior, Huron, Ontario and Erie might bear the commerce of nations, with the St. Lawrence as outlet for that commerce to the ocean.
