276 CANADIAN TUEF KECOLLECTIONS 



to attempt to go it alone. Your most valuable companion 

 in the woods is first your compass and next your rifle. 



The Les Quinze, or as it is generally called here, the 

 Cass River, is in Quebec. There are fifteen rapids on it, 

 but they are all easy to portage around. There is also a 

 good road which runs along the river opened by the lum- 

 ber company, and you can drive every yard of the way, if 

 preferred. The fish in it are pickerel, pike and bass, and 

 the Indians say that early in the spring they have caught 

 'lunge in it, but they are not numerous. Its high, rocky 

 banks, covered with spruce and cedar, shelter plenty of 

 partridge. 



You can throw physic to the dogs in this climate and 

 they, more wise than many people, will have none of it. 

 The nights are cool during the hottest months of sum- 

 mer, and the air one breathes in these great forests is a 

 more powerful restorative than was ever prescribed by 

 the world's most noted physicians. You can live like a 

 prince at a very small expense, and the man fond of his 

 rod and gun who visits this, one of nature's grandest 

 retreats, and feeding on the many luxuries of his skill 

 as an angler or hunter must indeed be a chronic grumbler 

 if he is not more than satisfied. On all the great Amer- 

 ican continent between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans^ 

 there is no territory where so much good sport can be 

 obtained, either shooting or fishing, nor can the eye feast 

 on such glorious scenery elsewhere as in this wonderful 

 Northland. 



It is also extremely easy to reach. The traveller jour- 

 neying from anywhere in New York State, can, via 

 Toronto, book himself to Temiscaming, via North Bay. 

 Or, if he hails from the farther east, he books himself 

 via the C. P. R., via Ottawa. Reliable Indian and half- 

 breed guides who speak English can be obtained at rea- 

 sonable prices and supplies can also be purchased at 

 several points in this country, though it is always well 

 to take a certain quantity of necessaries with you, such 

 as tea, coffee, condensed milk, etc.
