T© ^h^ ^^$@@ 9 9 ^ ¥ ^HE following notes of a trip to the Soo are interesting:—One morning,A after breakfast, one of the day steamers called, on her way from Cheboygan,and we jumped aboard for a trip up the beautiful Soo River (Sault Ste. Marie). Skirt-ing the rocky cliffs of the isle, we passed down the west shore of Lake Huron. Atnoon a landing was made at Detour, just at the entrance of the land-locked watersof the Soo, whose repeated changes from a narrow entrance to a broad lake, then toa narrow, rapid river, and again to lakes, rivers and rapids, and its crooked coursesaround islands, which the currents have thus far failed to wash away, form a variedand charming experience scarcely ever surpassed. The passage of the Soo River must be made by day-light, and vessels aretimed accordingly.Should they arrive atnight, they anchor untilafter the early dawn. Thesteamers of this line arethe only ones that makethe passage by mid-day.The channels are narrow, shallow and crooked.Boulde
