Ottawa (Ottawa River and Chaudiere Falls)

From the tower of the Parliament Buildings looking east is obtained this striking view of the Chaudiere Falls. Here the banks of the Ottawa narrow to less than two hundred feet and the waters of the river descend abruptly over fifty feet of rocky ledge. The power is used by numberless saw mills. 150,000,000 feet of lumber are often piled on the adjacent lands. Hull, on the opposite shore, is entirely devoted to the lumber trade and kindred industries.
