■which we caught some fine fish. We had 
to do this from the land as a canoe cannot 
!e worked through. However, it is quite 
short and soon tumbles into a' circular pool 
about one kundred and fifty yards across. 
I have named this “Beaver Pool” and 
Falls from the fact that a large beaver 
house has been erected by these busy little 
animals just across from the falls. It is 
always with much interest that this point 
is reached as I never get over my admira¬ 
tion for the beaver and his work. From 
behind the “house” their little roads lead in 
every direction back into the woods. On 
one of these roads we found a birch log 
about fifteen feet long and all of five inches 
thick at the butt that they were moving 
towards the house. From the stump from 
which the log had been cut, to the log 
must have been twenty-five yards and how 
they managed to move it must remain a 
mystery, as it is almost impossible to catch 
them at work. We circled round the pool 
and examined with much interest the dams 
made by the beavers at the half dozen dis¬ 
charges from the pool. It is certainly most 
wonderful how well they erect these dams, 
but what puzzles me most is how they get 
the heavy stones on to the logs which keep 
them in place. Certainly many of them 
would far outweigh any beaver in the 
world. I failed to mention the fact that 
all along this last stage of the trip beavers 
are plentiful, owing to careful protection 
by the Dominion Government. 
After spending some time here we car¬ 
ried the canoe from the pool down to a 
still lower pool, into which the discharge 
poured from half a dozen separate runs. 
From past experience I looked for good 
sport here and was not disappointed. I 
simply wore my arm out fighting the sin¬ 
gles, pairs, and sometimes triplets that 
: airly tumbled over each other to get at 
ny flies. But so it is almost anywhere that 
ou are pleased to cast in these wonderful 
yaters. It almost becomes monotonous. 
After lunch and a good long rest we 
ept on down stream, sometimes in still 
rater, sometimes through little rapids, with 
ere and there a carry round some badly 
bstructed places, but always and every¬ 
where finding fish ! fish ! fish ! 
Later in the afternoon we returned over 
le sam'e route, but fished little, as I found 
was about “all in.” We reached Lake 
lalcolm about sundown, and what a glori- 
us sight it was! A light fog had com- 
'.enced to rise off the water, softening the 
irrounding landscape, and where the sun 
niched the shore on the far side, making 
perfect fairyland. Very hungry and tired 
e reached camp, and after a hearty din- 
:r, we soon hunted our sleeping quarters, 
y the way, when I was here the previous 
ason, we heard one evening about nine 
M. a slight commotion behind the camp, 
id upon investigating quietly, found a 
ir of moose—not twenty-five feet away, 
ley did not get our “scent” at once 
we had a good look at them. They 
?re apparently a bull and cow, although 
could not see in the half light any sign 
8 * coming horns, yet from the way that 
■ <e of them staunchly held his ground 
uilst the other scampered off, we con- 
<ided he was a gentleman—“Women and
