P ‘hbe development of the national spirit has been fostered 1. imany an hour of peril, difficulty, and struggle. It is beginning to bloom in beauty and strength. Its progress has been greatly advanced of late years by the action of important ~organizations in sending delegations to many sections of the country, so that their members may add to their firstâ€"hand knowledge of their home land. Such an organization is the Montreal Board of Trade which will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of its founding by beginning on September 1, a thirty days‘ tour of the Dominion. ; The members will not only see the country in all the glory of its most beautiful scenic settings, but the journey will be s arranged as to give them a new perspective of its wealth of soil, forests, mines and waters,‘ and impressions of its indusâ€" trial and commercial growth that would be impossible of visualizing in any other way. fomder of Canada‘s Metropolis. ‘As in his life time, his tosughis were of the West, so does the memorial to him sand toâ€"day.

For over three hundred years the St. Lawrence River has been the great waterway into the interior of the American Continent.. It was the route by which La Salle, Marquette, Joliette, liennepin and Dul‘hut peneâ€" trated to Lake Michigan, although a round about passage had to be taken up the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers over Lake Nipissing into Lake Huron to avoid the hostile Indians below Lake Erie. For ocean going travel toâ€"day the chief ports are Montreal and Quebec, and these ports show an ever increasing volâ€" ume of traffic. The shipping season of 1921 was a record for the port of Montreal, during which a total of 807 transâ€"Atlantic ~+samers. registâ€" ering a tonzage of 2,598,494 tons, arrived at and steamed out of the great harbor. This was 105 vessels, or 556,856 tons over the highest previous record, made in 1019. 1221 also showed a large increase in the number of vessels trading from Montreal to the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland, a total of 157 ships registering 293,462 net tons. The trans Atlantic vessels came unâ€" der many flags, British, Norwegian, American, Italian, Dnutch, French, Swedish, Greek, Jugoâ€"Slayv. Spanish, Finnish and Tcelandic. in addition to those on Canadian register. The profession of pilot on the St. Lawrence is therefore very importâ€" ant, as it is to these pilots that route with its rapidly increasing traffie depends for its reputation as to safety. ~There are fifty licensed ipilots between Montâ€"eal and Quebec and sixtyâ€"two betweer Quebec and \Father Point. The taking on of th, ipilot always is a picturesqse inciâ€" dent to the ocean traveler and tmngs an interested crowd to the ship‘s ‘gide. j a The first known pilot on the St. Lawrence was Abraham Martin, afâ€" ter whom the Plains of Abraham at Quebec are named. In the Jesuit Relations, Abraham Martin is referâ€"| red to as "dit ‘Ecossais" or "called | the Scot," so that in addition to beâ€" | ing the first pilot of the King of| France he was also the first known | Can‘ .n of Scotch descent.

Louis Hebert, the most famous of the first colonists of Canada, received a grant of land alongside at the same time.

This is a veritable wonderâ€" land of mountain scenery, some 650 square miles in extent and set aside by the government of British Columbia as a national playground and wild life sanctuary. Here will be obtained an excellent view of Mount Robson, with an‘aititade of ©13,068 feet. It towers above the surrounding peaks, sublime,;majestic, with green glistening glaciers and pure white snow adding to its beauty. Sometimes its own summit is lost"amid the mists and clouds; quite often ,that summit is the centre of raging storms. But on Mount Robson they beat in vain. f Kaien Island, there will be every'opportuninn an insight into the enormity of the halibut and sa industry of the province. From Prince Rupert eastward the party will become acquainted with the Skeena River, with its historic and romantic traditions, its arresting grandeur, and its fame as one of the most prolific salmon streams in the world. â€" They will see too, some of the Bulkley and Nechako River Valley country, one of the newest fields of settlement opened up in the west. Unknown to the vast majority of Canadians, the luxurious valleys that lay between the mountain ranges in this area, are suitable for mixed farming, dairying, fruit growing and cattle raising. In the years to come their productivity, now a matter ol knowledge to comâ€" paratively few, will offer means of livelihood and competenze to thousands of new people.
