picturesque river after the rain we saw 
nearly one hundred partridges sunning 
themselves. They never moved while 
we passed. 
AY? are now thirty-six miles from 
our last camp, having paddled all 
the way, except for one portage. The 
weather has grown very cold with a 
strong north wind. The canoeing on 
these rivers is fascinating work, the 
scenery constantly changing as one 
cuts off mile after mile—through 
swamp land with low clay banks, then 
marshy land with alders and ferns on 
both banks, then a high rocky cliff on 
one side and low land on the other, 
thickly covered with spruce and bal- 
sam; then through a gorge between 
steep walls of rock with swiftly racing 
water, and many large boulders in the 
channel, around which the water di- 
vides sometimes running like a race- 
course between two large boulders 
where the channel is contracted. On 
we go, mile after mile, seldom missing 
a stroke, the swish, swish, swish of 
the paddles continues as they cut and 
leave the water in even time. It is a 
delightful way of travelling. 
We travelled thirty-four miles a day, 
and had four portages, and are now 
camped on the height of land. The 
river has been wonderful. We are now

KENTUCKY’S BEST 
Beautifully bred and perfectly schooled 
three and five gaited saddle horses that 
will compare with the best for beauty, 
grace and easy riding. Disposition and 
soundness guaranteed. 
DR. E. STANTON GARR, La Grange, Kentucky 

In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream, 
having sailed down Dasscrat Lake this 
afternoon, a fine big lake full of well- 
wooded islands. There was a strong 
north wind and a heavy sea, so we 
rigged up a sail out of a blanket, and 
went down the length of the lake, tak- 
ing advantage of some islands which en- 
abled us to avoid many of the heavy 
seas. We are camped on an old Hud- 
son Bay camping ground, which has 
been used by the Hudson Bay people 
and the Indians for two hundred years. 
There are a great many black hornets 
busy catching flies at the top of the 
tent. They fly in, catch a fly, nip off its 
wings, and fly out with it, though they 
make it rather nervous to write in their 
company; so far they have behaved 
themselves like gentlemen, and I have 
left them alone. 
WE are now half way down Raven 
Lake, about twenty miles from our 
last camp. We made the portage at 
the foot of Berthemet Lake into Lake 
Massia, then we went over the divide 
and into waters running south through 
a very muddy lake, then a portage 
into Lake Opasatika, down a creek, an- 
other portage, and through a very 
small creek, just wide enough to let 
the canoe through; made many por- 
tages over the beaver meadow, and into 
Drapeau Lake, a fine lake with clear 
water, where we had lunch. We have 
passed miles and miles of fine grained 
It will identify you, 
slate conglomerate rock, which lies per- 
fectly flat with almost right angle 
cleavage, and looks like artificial ce- 
ment wharves in steps from the water’s 
edge up. 
To-night we are camping on the Win- 
digo River, and did not get here until 
eight o’clock, as we had a long portage 
of over two miles, and did some wander- 
ing before we found it. The scenery 
along the Windigo River was fine, and 
I am more than sorry that I used up all 
my films, as we are camped on a point 
one hundred feet above the river with 
two farms opposite, on a hillside, on a 
slope of about thirty-five or forty de- 
grees to the river. A power company 
is constructing a long flume at this 
point, and is going to carry the water 
from a point about three miles east of 
here over this river to some point fur- 
ther west. They have a heavy rock cut 
at the east end, and ten foot tunnel 
through a hill to the river. This will 
cut off several miles of the river, and 
have a fall of about seventy feet. 
Here we are at Thomstown after a 
good run down the Blanch River. We 
have a number of portages and ran 
several rapids, and arrived here at 
eleven o’clock. 
ROM personal observations made 
during the trip, I have come to the 
conclusion that gold mining in Ontario 
is only in its infancy, and that she will 
have a rival in Quebec in a few years’ 
time, as the gold-bearing series of 
rocks extends for miles into Quebec, 
and nearly all the samples taken dur- 
ing the trip on the Quebec side of the 
line are gold bearing. 
Our party broke up at Temagami, 
and we separated, but I hope to be back 
again next summer, and take another 
trip to prospect a portion of the coun- 
try visited during the present summer.

nicely browned discs. 3 cups flour, 1 cup 
cornmeal, salt, baking powder and wa- 
ter to mix into a smooth paste are all 
that is needed. A little powdered milk 
or egg powder adds to the flavor. 
Most packages of yeast cakes have 
good directions for their use in making 
bread printed on them. The few sim- 
ple rules follow but only practice makes 
perfect. In the evening, an hour or 
so before retiring, dissolve a yeast cake 
in lukewarm water. Into the mixing 
pan, put 2 quarts flour (less one cup 
for use in kneading) mix with one tea- 
spoonful salt and small handful of 
sugar, work in well one tablespoon of 
shortening (lard or any clean animal 
fat will do). Stir in dissolved yeast 
cake with enough warm water to form
