Transportation and Commerce. The Saint 

 Lawrence River is navigable for ocean-going 

 vessels as far as Montreal and is the great com- 

 mercial highway of the province. The Riche- 

 lieu is obstructed by rapids at Chambly, but a 

 canal at that point makes the river navigable 

 for its entire length for boats of light draught. 

 The Grand Trunk, the Canadian Pacific and 

 the Intercolonial railways with their branches 

 furnish ample railway accommodation to the 

 region south of the Saint Lawrence and along 

 the northern shore of that river. Branches of 

 these lines are being extended northward as fast 

 as the development of the new country seems 

 to warrant. Telegraph and telephone lines are 



common throughout the settled portions of the 

 country, and spreading rapidly as new regions 

 are opened up. 



Montreal and Quebec are the leading com- 

 mercial centers, and from the port of Montreal 

 large quantities of wheat, grown in the north- 

 west provinces, are shipped to Europe. Tho 

 leading exports are lumber, wood pulp, butter 

 and cheese, beef and fruit. Most of the for- 

 eign trade is with Great Britain and the United 

 States. The imports consist almost wholly of 

 manufactured products, such as clothing, tex- 

 tiles, machinery and hardware. The yearly ex- 

 ports amount to about $148,000,000 and the im- 

 ports to about $187,000,000.

 tenant-governor, appointed by the Dominion 

 government. He is assisted by a council of 

 nine members, who are responsible to the legis-

 premier, is the executive head of the govern- 

 ment. The legislature consists of two houses, 

 a council of twenty-four members nominated by
