a land apparently undergoing formation, and rising from the depths; a land dripping wet, ruthless, bare and hungry, but filled with great mountain ranges, unmapped lakes, And unknown mineral resources.It contains thousands of square miles of trackless, treeless and practically impassable swamps, but it is believed to be rich in mineral deposits and portions of it are capable of being converted into vast animal sanctuaries where the native wild animals can live and thrive without fear of molestation from men.The above picture shows a sharp bend in the upper Pickapoa.The picture was taken from the high sandhill shown in the foreground.ET THE WONDERS OF NEW QUEBEC.== Qt it (See illustrations on this page.) let \u2018Ç .]# HOME COMFORTS IN NEW QUEBEC\u2014Crew in front of an Indian se HE RECENT addition of a half house at Seven Islands packing outfits for an inland trip.This house of million square miles, more or belonged to a well-to-do Indian who was away from home, so it was th less, to the Province of Quebec placed at the disposal of Mr.Lindsay and his party during their four lu makes a fine display on the map.days\u2019 stay in the village.The greund floor was divided into three 202 .sat picture of rivers, lakes and rooms, each of which was comfortably furnished.Among the furni- vist vacancies.But it is simply a map ture was a brass bedstead, a sewing machine, a clock, a nickeled range, br for the most part guesswork as far a lounge, etc.in;

Now that Old Quebec has a New Quebec, what is she going to do with it?Let me make a suggestion.First\u2014 let the Powers-that-be convince themselves that the interior is at present of no economic or commercial value; that is, of no agricultural, mining or lumbering value.\u201cThen\u2014when they have convincing proof that the above description of the interior is true, let them set apart two hundred miles square as an Animal Sanctuary.A sanctuary where man is forbidden by law to go where the native wild animals can live and thrive as they did before the fur-trading octopus brought death and destruction to man and beast.Make an Animal Sanctuary and save from utter extinction our natural heritage, the wild animals of the land.Give a twenty-five years\u2019 truce to nature, let the animals live and multiply and overflow to other districts, and save for coming generations the Canadian heritage of feather and fur which our fathers carelessly squandered for a mess of pottage.Make this New Quebec open up a new era in our land.The Almighty made it for a purpose, and to what more fitting purpose could it be put than the salvation of our rightful heritage, which for centuries has been unjustly taken gava\u2014New Quebec.It is to-day an indisputable fact that, if the utter extermination of Canada\u2019s fur-bearing animals is to be avoided, Animal Sanctuaries must be established at once.Let the new owners of this New Quebec make history.Let New Quebec save our native animals from utter extermination, and if she does, she then will take a front place in the land and future generations will sing her praises.From the standpoint of dollars and cents, it will not require computation to prove that a two hundred mile square Animal Sanctuary, protected by honest men and strict laws for twenty-five years, would make \u201cUnknown Ungava\u2019\u2014the New Quebec\u2014the richest and most valuable fur-producing country in the world.W.T.LINDSAY, M.E.NASCAUPEE BURIAL GROUND AT ASHUANIPI, even island where they were storm-stayed for two days.UNGAVA\u2014These metry of its design, the work of one of the greatest masters of the craft.The five panels of the front are exquisitely carved with figures of Saints, Indians pay great respect to their dead relatives, and decorate their graves with rude carved railings and crosses.In this picture the enclosure contains over one hundred graves.Three-quarters of those buried here have been drowned trying to cross Lake Ashuanipi.This lake is subject to sudden and violent storms and these Indians, with their small canoes, if caught off shore, have no chance.Mr.Lindsay's party were caught once when some four miles off shore and in their 21-foot canoes they had a serious time for a couple of hours, and eventually landed on a small ~ while between are columns carved with thermal figures, surmounted by heads of cherubim, and flowers in relief beneath.Nearly nine feet high, the pulpit is ascended by a flight of nine broad steps, with beautifully carved rails.It is supported upon five carved figures of eagles, ¢ach having a characteristic, while above is an octagonal panelled oak sounding board, fo, # we THOSE ve.
