r—”"‘f”"”h "‘ ”—fi spot. Kamouraska is near the Inter- l ' . colonial Railway station of St. Paschal, ‘ from which place it is reached by a carriage drive of about six miles.

Riviere du Loup, some twenty- three miles down the St. Lawrence from Kamouraska, is a growing city of considerable importance. It took its name from the seals, once very numerous by the mouth of the river. It has a pleasant situation on high land, and on that account it has cool air. The long main street stretches con- tinuously to Fraserville, and follows the channel of the river for some distance. It is a natural tourist centre; and the hotel accommodation is good. The hotels at the Fraserville end are particularly suited to those making a stay in the neighborhood; for some are large and roomy, with nice gardens and a fine View of the river from the quiet porches and balconies on the St. Lawrence side. There are pleasant drives to Notre Dame du Portage village, Cacouna, etc.; and enjoyable trips may be made over the lines of the Intercolonial and Temiscouata Railways, as well as on the river in various directions. Lake Temis- couata, or ‘Winding W'ater,’ the Touladi River and Lake, the Mada- waska, or‘Never- Frozen’RiV'er and the Acadian Village of Edmundston are. all reached by going over the line of the Temiscouata Railway. These places are all 1n the heart of a good fishing and hunting (ountry.

At The Point on the river, numerous cottages ha\ e been built for the enjoyment of cool river breezes, and hem, too, good summe1 hotels are found where gay companies spend happy days in beating and other amusements. The wharf VVith its promenade 2,500 feet long 1s a favorite spot at all times, and from this point the steamers of the Trans St. Laurent Company leave for Tadousac and the Saguenay, almost immediately oppOsite on the north shore some twenty-five miles across.

The celebrated Falls of the Riviere du Loup are still beautiful, although mills etc ,haV'e made sad inroads on their beauty They a1e seen to best advantage by crossing the Intercolonial R2111“ av bridge and walking through the fields to a point down stream where a high bank commands a full View of the river bed and the fall abOVe.

Riviere du Loup is the centre of an interesting district; its stores are very attractive, and its streets shady and well kept; while the Fraserville district and the summer resorts of ‘The Point’ affords attractive opportunities for passing many a restful week in the summer
