TOURING QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES III

The Clubhouse of the Restigouche Salmon Club is located at Matapedia, the club being noted for the wealth of its members. The entrance fee is $10,000 and the annual dues $1,500. Fish are plentiful in the pools con- trolled by the club in this locality, and they are probably the most costly fish that swim.

'The trip up the Matapedia from Campbellton equalled anything that we had seen from Toronto to Sydney.

Passing through some of the finest scenery in the D0- minion, we entered Quebec. At Mont Joli the grandeur of the St. Lawrence River is most appealing. Then we passed Rimouski, where inbound ocean liners land the mails; Bic, that beautiful village down by the shore, with a back- ground of majestic mountains separating it from the coun- try beyond. On one side, we saw huge cliffs, while on the other side, a magnificent panorama of bay, river and islets unfolded before our eyes.

We passed Cacouna, another charming town close by the shore, boasting a stretch of sand beach a mile long. Later Levis came to view, and on we sped to Montreal, passing through many quaint towns and villages of Quebec.

On the last night of our eventful tour, there was a jolly good time in the dining-cars for all on board, and once again opportunity was taken to thank those, who, by their skill, labour and thoughtfulness, had made possible the comfort and happiness of so large a company. But we did not forget the hosts of fellow Canadians down in the Maritimes, whom we now called “friends,” and who had made eachstop-off a joy and benefit to us all.

Then, rather reluctantly we said “Good-Bye” and went to our homes, with a broader and happier knowledge of our fair Canada, and memories of many pleasant friend- ships formed, during three of the best weeks of our lives.
