Excerpt from The East and the West, 1907, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Review for the Study of Missions Eastern Canada may be said to be divided in a real sense from Western Canada by a strait popularly called the Soo, but in geography the rapids of Sault Ste. Marie. It is, as it were, the neck of Canada through which the water-borne produce of the prairie passes east in tonnage more than twice that which uses the Suez Canal, wonderful though the fact appears to be. And on the banks Hiawatha and his tribe look down upon the modern life flowing past the home of the Ojibways.
