To the Editor of the Advance.
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 -

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. Should the tourist

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.
