A drive is being made to raise $30,000 from the citizens of Vancouver, for the purpose of advertising the mineral potentialities of British Columbia, and bringing in new capital for the development of mining properties. Vancouver is to be congratulated upon having initiated this movement, and there is not the slightest doubt but that it will be carried to a successful issue; the united efforts that made Vancouver a great grain shipping port will alsq effect its position as the capital of the mining industry. Every mining area in British Columbia will benefit by Vancouver's enterprise, particularly the Portland Canal district, the advancement of which is mainly responsible for the present movement, and it now devolves upon the people of this section to be up and doing and assist in every possible way its furtherance. It is stated that it is within the bounds of possibilities that $50,000,000 of new capital could be brought into the province within a year, for the exploitation of the practically unlimited resources. Assuming that even half of this is available, it will go far toward increasing the mining development beyond its utmost unassisted progress. The" Stewart Board of Trade could do much to assist the movement, by obtaining mineral samples, and information in regard to mining prospects and the district at large. There is every reason to believe that such effort would go a good way towards strengthening Vancouver's enterprise and at the same time assist with the development of the minerals of the Portland Canal district A farmer recently appeared in the office of a small naper down in the States exuding terrible oaths and various maledictions upon all concerned with the paper and then cancelled his subscription.

THE HOODOOS, JASPER NATIONAL PARK JASPER PARK LODGE, in Jasper National Park. Alberta, is ideally situated as a convenient center from which to climb mountains, traverse trails and motor roads, or embark on fishing and hunting expeditions; while golf, tennis, boating and bathing are right at its door. For those who have just a short time to spend in the Park there are miles and miles of motor roads through winding valleys and up mountain grades, along the shores of swift rivers and past quiet lakes, to mountain, glacier and canyon. Towering above all other peaks in the vicinity is stately Mount Edith Cavell, its crown of snow reaching a height of 11,033 feet. From Jasper or the Lodge Mount Edith Cavell is in full view, but it is only by travelling the eighteen miles to Lake Cavell, nestling at the foot of the mountain, that one can really see all the wonders of this now famous mountain named for that heroic British nurse, Edith Cavell, heroine of the Great War. . The peculiar formation of a glacier on the side of Mount Edith Cavell adds to the interest of the place. In a cirque between the mountain and the shoulder extending -to the north is a hanging glacier covering about a third of a square mile. An ice fall about three hundred feet wide connects this with another glacier five hundred feet below, the irregular shape of which extends along the foot of the cliffs for more than a mile. This mass of ice presents the form of an angel with out stretched wings and has been aptly named "Glacier of the Ghost." At another point on the mountain a combination of rock and snow forms what appears to be a side view of the head of a turbanned oriental knight. In photographs taken from Chak Peak this formation is plainly discernible. The road to Mount Cavell is along the valley of the Athabasca River, across the turbulent Miette River, Whistlers and Portal creeks, continuing across the historical Astoria River, which it follows in a southwest direction at the same time climbing the lower slopes of the mountain end finally reaching the shores of Lake Cavell. Many stops should be made en route to view such interesting features as the natural hoodoos with their flat stone hats just along the slope below the road. at* Half an hour by motor from Jasper Park Lodge, with mirror-like lakes reflecting the ragged outline of forest and mountain for mile posts, brings one to Maligne Canyon. The scenery along this gradually ascending and winding roadway is unsurpassable. Skirting innumerable little lakes, each of a different hue from the light yellow of Ochre Lake to the opal-like coloring of Lake Edith with its sandy beach for bathing, the road winds round above the Athabasca Valley and thence to Maligne River close to the Canyon. Following the rocky path of the Maligne River for a short distance one comes to the mouth of the canyon through which great rushes of water have been passing for many hundreds of years wearing away the rocks to a depth of two hundred feet in places. The can yon is a mile and a half long and is so narrow and irregular that in many places it is impossible to see the river flowing along far below. The water enters this huge crevice with a fall of seventy-five feet and goes tumbling through with a sullen roar. Along the sides of the canyon are huge pot-holes, testifying to the velocity of the water and its erosive quality during the centuries. Near the top are great dents in the rock worn smooth and now covered with moss, and on shelves of rock fifty feet or so below the surface are evergreens fighting for life with barely a foothold in the rock. . Plainly discernible from the rustic bridges built across the canyon so that the falls and river below may be viewed with safety, are stretches of rock wall beautifully "ari-colored, and where the river cannot be seen in the dark cavern below it sends its rumbling message to the top. The mystery of Medicine Lake and the subterranean stream that joins the river below Maligne Tan- yon is intensely interesting and the rock formation around the lake is well worth the journey of ten miles from the Canyon to see. Canada's most northerly national park is fast becoming one of the most popular playgrounds of the Dominion and every t tourist who visits there becomes an ardent advertiser.
