The establishment of. a chain of hotels across Canada is not the least important of the ventures of the Canadian-Pacific Railway Company. From the Pacific to the Atlantic these hostelries are of jnuch utility to travellers, who otherwise would fiequently have to endure the discomforts of inferior accommodation so often only available in communities that are still in the early process of evolution, says the Wellington ‘ Evening Post.” The Chateau Frontenac, in Quebec, which was* slightly dam : aged by fire recently, is the most famous of these hotels. The Chateau Frontenac, erected on the site of the old Chateau St. Louis, is a modern hotel built on the pattern of an old chateau, and commanding magnificent views of the great St. Lawrence River, looking in all directions. Thi new building was riot affected in the least by the present fire—which was confined solely to an old wing containing very few guest rooms.
