between them and the proverbial travel-

to secure accommodation at the Windsor

We left Edmonton on the 9th of May
and were driven to Athabasca Landing
by two brothers named l/3all, natives ot'

and as we had three and a. half tous.

when We went plump on top of a. big
rock. We were running 6 miles an
hour at the time. Over board we all
jun ped in water up to our waists andl
shoved her off, but finding she leaked
we i ad to land and repair damages.
Striking a rock is a common occurrence
as they are veiy numerous between
Pelican and Giaud Rapids and the cur-
rentiuns six miles an hour. ' We pass
boats frequently hung up on rocks.even
those having an Indian ‘guide on board.
lVe made the run of 46 miles to the
Grand Rapids in less than seven hours

truck again. Then overboard went all

rocks where it is impossible for a loaded
boat to pass.
Here everyone has to carry his outfit
upon his hack for one mile. the length
ofthe Island. This we succeeded in
doing in one day which we consid- *
dercd good work.
May 28th, we left Grand Rapids in
company with twelvs boats, led by a -
trad.-r named Connors who had an
Indian guide on board. This man dis-
play ed the greatest nerve when in
danger we had ever seen. He piloted
seven boats through without an acci-
dent and the other five followed. We
passed in succession Broule, Boiler,
Drowned,Middle.Long.Crooked,Strong.
Little Cascade, Big Cascade Rapids,
Here the boats have to be let down
with a line to the fall and then unloaded
and dropped over a lidge 10 feet and
reloaded. This is comparativelv easy
as the ouitit has to be carriid only
about titty feet. Then comes Mountain
and last but not least Moberly Rapids
and we pass on to Fort McMurray. This
fort we left on the 4th of June and :had
a good current if iour miles an hour
and hot sun iight through to Athabasca
Lake. We passed over the Like and
had a strong northeily wind across,
arriving at Fort Cliepewyau, June 6th.
On leaving here we passed numerous
islands and sand bars and into Stony
River, which tiows into the Slave. This
occupied two days as we met with a
head current and had to depend upon
the wind and oars but upon arriving at
the junction of iha Slave and Peace
rivers we strvck a six mile current and
soon were making good way again io-
wards _ Smithls Landing where we
arrived June llth. '
Here we engaged ri pilot
named Sanderson to guide us
across the rapids lying between
Smith’s Landing and Fort. Smith.
At this place we had to pack our outfit
and portage our boatgfor one quarter of
a mile as the rapids are very dangerous. l
After making about six miles we had 1

thought the longest mile ever walked.
\Ve all thought we had lost our Way,
but our guide led us all right and by
noon we had ruu our boat through a
rapid where we madea descent of 2-L0
feet in 16 miles.

:Domestic Postage.
_ OTTAWA. September 15.-It is un-
derstood that the postmaster~general
has decided that it would be too risky
an experiment to reduce the rate of
domestic postage to two cents at the
same time that the reduction wlhin the
empire trom live cents to two cent-1 goes
into effect. that is, on Christmas day.
The letter postage for Caiisda. and the
United States will therefore remain at
three cents until the oostmaster-general
has been able to judge what effect the
two-cent rate within tae empire has on
the revenue. After December 25 there
will therefore, be three rates of 'postage
on ._lelters, viz., |two cents for Great
Britain and her c »lonies, three cents
for Canada and the United States, and
live cents for f-Jreig i countries. '

cause I think the New York public is
as wellivile tofdeciile on the fortunes
ot the play as that of London. Besides
that, religious feeling is running very .
high in England at present. The
Church ol England,as an establishment,
appears to be on its trial. There is a i
strong movement against everything
that savers of high church. In America
there is no established Church-1 and.
therefore, no State Church agitation. I
