Thk. henuly of the surrouiuiings of Niagara Fails on 

 the Canadian side is always a source of deep gratifi- I 

 cation to Innidreds of thousands of visitors every I 

 year. The nuhlie duty of preserving the beauties 

 of this great natural heritage was 15 years ago en- [ 

 trusted hv the Government of Ontario to the Queen 

 Vic-toria Niagara Falls Park Commission. This 

 Coiiimission. whose nienil)ers are unpaid, has done 

 splendid work without costing the public a penny. 

 its revenue beinu derived from the water powers 

 and concessions. 



Not only are the public narks at the Falls and 

 Kinsiston Heights of great l)eauty. but in addition. 

 18 miles of broad and perfect highway, nobly lined 

 with trees, have been constriu-ted down the gorge 

 along the Niagara river, which is a scene of natural 

 loveline.ss at all seasons. There remains to be con- 

 structed 15 more miles running northward from 

 this ])oint i)ast the Glen, descending Queenston 

 Heights, and terminating at Butler's burying 

 ground at Niagara-on-the-bake. an historical and 

 peaceful .spot, dating back to the earliest days of 

 Entrlish settlement 'in Tpper Canada. Its re-
