King Edward's Country Editors Visit Principal Canadian Cities Toron
........ to, Beautiful City Wenderful Niagara Falls.
As I said i in my last article, our 1
train of eight pnllman cars and one
baggage coach was , made .. up , m
Detroit for the trip through. Cana
da. We left about ten o'clock over
the Canadian Pacific railway; cross
ed the Detroit river on a ferry and
entered Canada at Windscr, from
there we went to Toronto arriving
in time for an early breakfiist.
Most of the party were np earlier
than usual looking for. strange
sights in our neighbor on the north.
Harvesting had just begun and in
some parts of Canada the whoat
and oats were green and this was
then the last of June. The coun
try seemed rich from an agricultur
al stand point and the forests were
full of fine timber. So much . mere
land is in cultivation along the
railroads than in our part of the
country, and from the car windows
one could gaze for miles and milns.
TOHOXTO A CITY ; WITH MANY
NAMES "THE QUEEN CITY"
"XOC CITY ""CITY OF
. . , CHTRCHE3."
Toronto like ,imahy of the, cities
we visited was rich in names. It'is
beautifully located' on; the. north
shfre of Lake Ontario, I and derived
its name "The Queen City'' from its
admirable' 'location.:''.' It is a city
where' tourists delight to go, hence
it is called the "Tourist's city 'and
as it ' has more than two hundred
houses of worship iV'il called ;the"

about 280.000. : It is m6re. like nr

is- very high and on this tower is
a block whose dial is 14 feet in
diamster. ' A large bell in the
tower announces the hour, it weighs
fi ve. tons. From this totfer one gets
i splendid, view .of the' city, sur
rounding country and Lake Ontario.
We were told that on clear days the
spray of Niagara could be seen. At
One street crossing in Toronto is a
peculiar 1 situation, on one corner
lives the Governor of Outario, on
another a college, on another a
church aud ou the fourth a hotel
or saloon. It is said that this is
the point in the city where there
can be found legislation, education,
salvation and damnation. His Wor
ship, the mayor, The Commercial
Club ' and the citizens entertained
the portion of the party who remain
ed in Toronto. Choice was given
of the day in Toionto or trip to
Niagara Falls. More than half the
party chose the latter and left at
eleven o'clock for the.,

UmiU-.there occur more startling and
awe inspitwg features than iu any
similar Tier channel.- The chasm
whichlias been- dug by the action
of -thi river itself, wearing its chan
nel backward, is Tn some places, of a
depth" of 'over '300 feet and of a
width 'vaiying from 250 to 1500
feet,... In tlie. narrowest and steep
est part are tlie Whirlpool Rapids,
extending frpu the railway bridges,
to the Whirlpool a distance of a
mile. Here the channel narrows to
its narrowest width about 250 feet
and there iina faU of 08 feet iu the
bed of the stream. The waters

curve iu the course- of the stream.

course.. Great logs ' turn eud over

days before they pass ou down.
Above the Whirlpool is the "spout-ing-roek"
which 'is- no rock at all,
but is a hole into which the water
plunges necessarily making the wat-
