Quebec—Population 75,000. This old city occupies the base
and summit of a lofty crag projecting into.the St. Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who sailed
into the river (1534), spent a winter at the base of the
cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established
here a headquarters for trading. A few years later the
headland was fortified, and, as the settlement grew, the
fortifications were enlarged until Quebec became the
stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by
the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No city in America
is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher
points so diversified and lovely. In the "upper town,"
on the highlands, the public buildings, churches, best
business blocks, hotels and schools are found, and here
the English and modern part of the town has outgrown
its antecedents. The "lower town," near the water,
abounds in irregular, narrow streets, quaint old houses,
and is  the  commercial  quarter of  the town. The
commerce of Quebec began with the fur trade, and this
remains an important element. Enormous transactions
in lumber go on here annually. The whole lower valley
of the St. Lawrence and the northern lumbering regions
draw their merchandise from this centre.——The suburbs
of Quebec are remarkably interesting in scenery, history,
and opportunities for sport, especially fishing.—:—The
railways leading here, other than the Canadian Pacific,
are the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, the Quebec
Central, and the Quebec and Lake St. John. Transatlantic steamers of the Allan, Beaver and Dominion lines
land here in summer, and local steamers depart for the
lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers. Extensive
docks, warehouses, &c, incidental to the terminal facilities of the Canadian Pacific Railway, will be noticed;
passengers from Europe landing immediately at the
railway station, where assistance concerning customs
regulations, exchanging tickets, and forwarding personal
effects, is rendered by the company's agents.

§Three Rivers—Population 10,000. At the mouth of the

buildings are the Roman Catholic cathedral, the courthouse, the IJrsuline convent, St. Joseph's college, and
the Episcopal and Wesley an churches. Besides the
daily boats of the Richelieu line, several stelMfcrs ply to
adjacent river villages. The chief industry is the shipment of lumber. The Dominion government has expended $200,000 in improving the navigation on the St.
Maurice, and over $1,000,000 has been invested in mills
and booms above. There are large iron-works and machine-shops here, where stoves and car-wheels are made
in great numbers from the bog-iron ore of the vicinity.

Montreal—Population (with suburbs) 250,000. The city
stands upon an island formed by mouths of the Ottawa.
It was visited in 1634 by Jacques Cartier, who found the
Indian village of Hochelaga on its site, at the base of
Mount Royal, now tflte city's park. A fortified trading
post was established here a century later, called Ville
Marie, and was the last point yielded by the French in
1763. Settlements accumulated about this post, and a
city rapidly grewT up; about three fourths of the population at present are of French descent. The building of
the canal about the Laehine rapids, just above the city,
and the growth of railways and commerce, caused Montreal to increase, until it became the metropolis of the
Dominion. Here resided the governors of the old fur companies, and the fur trade has always occupied a prominent place in the city's commerce. In summer, great
^m numbers of steamships and sailing vessels ascend to
Montreal, which is one of the best harbors, as well as most
thoroughly furnished warehouse-ports, in the world.
The city is built almost entirely of stone, possesses imposing public buildings, churches and institutions, and
many handsome residences, and is provided with superior
hotels. Its suburbs are quaint and beautiful, and the
neighborhood abounds in objects of interest. Steamships of the Allan, Dominion, Beaver and other lines run
to Europe; and steamers connect Montreal with all the
river and lake towns. The new cantilever bridge of the
Canadian Pacific at Laehine, 10 miles above Montreal,
gives an independent outlet for its trains to Boston, the
White Mountains, Portland and all parts of New England.
Over the Victoria bridge, the trains of the Central Vermont
and Delaware and Hudson Canal Co's railroads connect
Montreal with southern New England and New York.

fall in the hill regions, which are
wooded and rugged. Fishing abundant. The city of Ottawa is seen in
the distance as the great lumberyards of Hull are approached.
Capital of the Dominion, and in
Ontario, through which the railway extendsuntil Manitoba is reached.—Ottawa is picturesquely situated at the
junction of the Rideau river with the Ottawa. Navigation is interrupted here by the falls of the Chaudiere,
whose remarkable cataracts are seen in crossing the
river. This gigantic waterpower is utilized, and some
of the largest lumber manufactories in the Dominion,
are here visible from the bridge; and also the timber-
slides, by which the lumber from the upper river passes
down without damage into the navigable water below.
Close to the city, are the pretty Rideau falls. The city
itself stands upon high ground overlooking the falls
and the lumber-yards.—The principal places of interest
within it are the public buildings, some of which, most
prominently the octagonal and buttressed Library, can
be plainly seen from the railway. These are of magnificent proportions, and ornate architecture. Rideau Hall,
the   residence of  the   governor-general,   is two miles
distant. Ottawa is becoming not only the residence
of many- public men, and attracting a brilliant social
circle, but factories of various kinds are accumulating.

rapids of the river give excellent
waterpower. At Almonte are woolen
mills; and at Arnprior large marble
quarries. Opportunities for sport
both with gun and rod are excellent.
The fishing is best in the many small
lakes and in the Ottawa, where mas-
kinonge, pickerel, bass, whitefish and
perch are common. The largest villages are Renfrew (a brisk place, pop.
2,000, at the terminus of the Kingston
& Pembroke R'y), and Pembroke (pop.
4,000) on the historic Allumette lake.
The Ottawa is followed westward as
far as Mattawa, wThere the river diverges as it comes down from northward,
and then the line strikes westward
towards L. Nipissing, north of Georgian bay. The Laurentian hills stand
on the opposite bank of the Ottawa,
and many rapids and romantic
brooks, suggesting good fishing, please
the eye. As Mattawa is approached
the land becomes rough and strewn
with ledges and boulders, which continues for some distance further : the
valleys and borders of the many lakes
are tillable and fertile, but farmers
are few. Mattawa has 1,000 pop. and
is the principal distributing point for
lumbering supplies. Guides for hunting moose, caribou, etc., can be got
here. At Callander the old government lines, which were taken by the
Company, terminated, and here the
construction of the Canadian Pacific
Railway began in 1884.
North Bay.—Railway divisional-point; and terminus of

Port Arthur—Pop. 3,500. Formerly known as "Prince
Arthur's Landing; on the shore of Thunder bay, and first
settled about 1867. The town is prettily situated overlooking the bay, which is a fine open harbor, and has in
view the dark cliffs of Thunder cape and Pie island. Since
the opening of the Lake Superior section of the railway,
it has assumed particular importance as the connecting
point between the railway system of the Northwest and
the inland water-route of Canada via the great lakes.
Extensive wharves have lately been erected.together with
enormous docks, huge elevators for grain, and terminal
warehouses and stations. There is much pretty scenery
in the hills back of the town, while the bay and its islands
are adapted to yachting and picnic excursions. A remarkable variety of minerals occurs in the neighborhood, and
some valuable silver mines are being developed. Here
come the steamers of the Canadian Pacific line from
Owen Sound, while most of the other Lake Superior lines
call here, in passing, affording opportunities for voyaging
to ports around the whole circuit of the lake.
Port William—Site of the oldest trading post on L. Superior.
Situated at the mouth of the Kaministiquia river, which
affords a good harbor. Ft. William is used to a large
extent by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company as a
distributing point for the immense quantities of coal,
lumber and heavy supplies passing over the road or
across the lake.

In the lower valley of the Kaministiquia the land is good, cultivation
extensive and new settlements increasing. The railway then strikes
westward, through pretty scenery, toward the ridge separating the basin
of L. Superior from Hudson's bay,
along the old fur-trading canoe-and-
stage route to the Northwest. This is
a wild and difficult region, rocky and
uninviting to the farmer, but with
large resources for ties, firewood.and
certain kinds of timber. Minerals
abound and near Savanne are profitable gold mines. The rivers are
rich in romantic scenery, and invite
conoeists, who can find Indian guides
and helpers, and can buy provisions

i Winnipeg—Pop. 25.000. A magic city of a fewgyears' growth,
only a little while back a trading post of the Hudson's Bay
Company, but now a handsomely built city, and the capital
of Manitoba. " This is the focal point of the Canadian
Northwest, a fertile region extending from the Red river
for a thousand miles west and fifteen hundred miles northwest, to the mountains of British Columbia,—a region already producing grain and cattle to an enormous extent,
and having possibilities beyond the grasp of the most sanguine mind. Interest must give place to amazement on
seeing the change that has been wrought in five short
years. The massive grain elevators and flouring mills, the
well-tilled farms and the numberless herds of cattle, would
elsewhere indicate a growth of decades. The many railway lines radiating from Winnipeg, and the twenty miles
of well-filled sidings at that point, give evidence of the
immensity of the traffic of the country beyond." Two
branch lines connect Winnipeg with the United States.
The offices and plant of the Western Division of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company are situated here,
including stock-yards and extensive repair shops.

Calgary—Pop. 2,000, altitude 3,388 feet above sea level.
Beautifully situated near the junction of the Bow and
Elbow rivers, within fine viewT of the Rockies, and just
outside the foothills.     Capital of Alberta, post of the
Mounted Police, land  agencies.     Headquarters of the
grazing industries and containing the most wealth and
finest shops, for its size, of any town in Canada.    Some
farming, for hay, oats, flax, etc.; roots and vegetables do
exceedingly well.  Good water-power, little utilized as yet.
The profile of the Rocky Mountains
seen here   is   extremely   irregular.
There is no stately line of rounded
summits set in orderly array along
the horizon, or evenly serrated chain of peaks; but the
sky rests upon a jagged wall, every elevation having
some angular and abrupt form quite unlike its neighbor, and the  whole seeming a long stretch of ruins
rather than a mountain range.   By the time Cochrane
station   is   reached,  the traveller   is well within   the
rounded grassy foothills and river "benches," or terraces.   After leaving Cochrane, and crossing the Bow,
the line ascends a grade to the top of the first terrace,
whence a magnificent outlook is.obtained into the foothills, especially toward the left hand, rising in successive tiers of sculptured heights to the snowy range behind
them.   " By-and-by the wide valleys change into broken
ravines, and lo! through an opening in the mist, made
rosy with early sunlight, we see, far away up in the sky,
its delicate pearly tip clear against the blue, a single
snow-peak of the Rocky Mountains.   .   .   .    Our coarse
natures cannot at first appreciate the exquisite aerial
grace of that solitary peak that seems on its way to
heaven; but, as we look, gauzy mist passes over, and it
has vanished."   An open, lightly timbered region succeeds.   Here is the Stony Indians' reservation; and a
glimpse is caught of Morleyville, their agency village,
and of some of their well-tilled farms.   " On again we
go, now through long stretches of park-like country,
now  near  great mountain-shoulders, half misty, half
defined, with occasional gleams of snowy peaks far away

before us like kisses on the morning sky.   The Kananaskis river flows directly across the pass that leads into
the mountains which here begin to close in around us.
We stopped at the Kananaskis station, and walking [to
the right] across a meadow, behold the wide river a
mass of foam leaping over ledges of rock into the plains
below."   (Lady Macdonald.)
JThe Gap—A rocky gateway, letting the Bow river issue
from the hills, beyond which the track turns northward,
and ascends the long valley between the Palliser and
Front ranges of the Rocky Mountains.   A remarkable
contrast in appearance between these two ranges will be
noticed.   On the right are fantastically broken and castellated heights; on the left, massive snowr-laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous
coloring lie engulfed.   Now begins a series of visions
and experiences beside which all seen before dwindles
into insignificance.   Five ranges of prodigious mountains are to be crossed before the Pacific coast is reached,
and grandeur and beauty now crowd upon the attention
without ceasing, as the train speeds through gorge and
over mountain, giving here a vast outlook, and there an
interior glimpse, then exchanging it for a new one with
the suddenness of a kaleidoscope.
Canmore—Altitude (of station) 4,230 ft. Divisional point.
The three lofty peaks on the left, seen as the station is
approached, are the Three Sisters. On a hill behind the
station stands a group of isolated monumental rocks
(conglomerate) curiously weathered out of the softer soil,
and widely renowned. " Here the pass we are travelling
through has narrowed suddenly to four miles, and as
mists float upwrards and away we see great masses of
scarred rock rising on each side—ranges towering one
above the other. Very striking and magnificent grows
the prospect as we penetrate into the mountains at last,
each curve of the line bringing fresh vistas of endless
peaks rolling away before and around us, all tinted rose,
blush-pink and silver, as the sun lights their snowy tips.
Every turn becomes a fresh mystery, for some huge
mountain seems to stand right across our way, barring it
for miles, with a stern face frowning down upon us; and
yet a few minutes later we find the giant has been
encircled and conquered, and soon lies far away in
another direction. Mount Cascade is perhaps one of
the most remarkable of these peaks. Approaching its
perpendicular massive precipice-front, streaked with a
thousand colors wrhich glow in the sunshine, we half
shrink from what seems an inevitable crash. From
this precipice falls a narrow cascade, making a leap of
about 1,800 feet. Surely it will presently burst over us !
But no; a few minutes later Mount Cascade has mysteriously moved away to the right, and its silver waterfall soon gleams in the distance."   (Lady Macdonald.)

This park is a tract of many square miles embracing
every variety of scenery, charming and wonderful, which
the government has already made accessible by many
carriage-roads and bridle-paths.   In the rivers and lakes
trout are plentiful and of a size unheard of elsewhere,
and in the hills and forests roam deer, mountain sheep,
and goats.   The general altitude of the valley is about
4,500 feet.   Roads have been built northward to Devil's
lake, an extremely deep sheet of water, walled in by
tremendous cliffs, and overlooked by that remarkable
peak, the Devil's Head, which forms a well-known landmark, since it is visible far out upon the plains.   The
fishing here is unrivalled, and the scenery grand.   In
the Bow river, near Banff station, are some beautiful
falls and rapids, dropping 60 feet in the course of a
few rods.   Cottages and small hotels now exist; but the
railway is building a very large and elegant hotel, with
perfect arrangements for bathing in the spring water,

" Here the Bow river, which we
have skirted since leaving Calgary, winds through the wide
i green plateau, its waters of a
uuii v^uiiia uiuc. About five miles farther on, Castle
mountain is before us, standing a sheer precipice 5,000
feet high—a giant's 'keep,' with turrets, bastions and
battlements complete, reared against the sky. " As we
rise toward the summit, near Stephen, about thirty-five
miles further on, the railway's grade gets steeper, tall
forests gather round us, and a curious effect is produced
by glimpses of snowy spurs and crests peeping through
the trees, and of which, though apparently near us, we
see no base. This conveyed to me an idea of our elevation."   (Lady Macdonald.) Another writer has this to
say of the scenery :—" The BowT river at this point is a
swift, deep stream of pea-green water. We follow it
through low forest for several miles, and then at Castle
Mountain [station] turn to the west, and begin the ascent
of the main range. Here comes into view, off towards
the north, the first of the great glaciers. It is a broad,
crescent-shaped river of ice, bearing all the characteristics of the Swiss glaciers (so far as I can judge from
pictures of Swiss glaciers), the further end concealed
behind the lofty yellow cliffs that hem it in. You
seem to be almost on a level with it, and at the distance of hardly half-a-dozen miles ; but it is 1,300 feet
above you, and a round dozen miles away, and almost
inaccessible by reason of the Tavines and rocks and
forest which intervene. Down its back flowed in August
a meandering stream of blue water. This fell over the
front in a fine waterfall, and came to us in a creek as
white as milk, which poured into the Bow. The larger
river itself drains from the glacier higher up, and its
stream at this height is pale with that peculiar chalky
tint wThich melting glaciers have. The forest is not noteworthy until the top of the pass (altitude 5,300 feet) is

reached, when the eye looks across miles of magnificent
evergreen trees, filling the great depression through
which the Kicking Horse stream rushes headlong from
cataract to cataract down to the westward, dividing at
the summit from the eastern waters in a marshy spot,
which supplies moisture that perceptibly trickles right
and left to the Atlantic and to the Pacific. A large post
is seen at the left of the track, marking the boundary
line between Alberta and British Columbia."
Summit of the Rocky Mountains.
Stephen is named after the vast
and beautiful mountain, loftiest of
the Rocky Mountains in this latitude, to which the
honorable name of Sir George Stephen, President of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, is attached. This peak is
stated to be 8,240 feet above the track. The castellated
mass this side of it, wThich comes into good view on the
left, as soon as the summit is passed, is Cathedral mountain. A magnificent picture of snowy peaks, one behind
the other, bursts upon the vision across the valley
toward the north and west'; and the difficulties of the
descent begin. "We saw the little stream gradually
diminishing as we ascended towards the lake, and now
on the other side we see another little rill running out
of a swamp and led into an artificial channel. This is
the first stream encountered that goes towards the
Pacific, and it is one of the heads of the Kicking Horse
river. We follow it along, and the little brooklet expands
into a creek, and leads us past the Cathedral mountain,
broad and snow-covered, its towers and pinnacles resembling some great Duomo. We have pierced the range,
and now start downward on the Pacific slope by a steep
gradient. An extra locomotive is fastened behind the
train, and all brakes put on, so that these, with the
reversed engines, retard the descent. Rounding a curve,
the tall form of Mount Stephen, with its two surmounting peaks, comes into full view as the outpost on the
southern side of the pass, its snowy tops tapering off into
a long glacier. The little stream expands into a lake,
where wild ducks disport, but the forest fires have
blackened all the surrounding surfaces. Winding through
the valley is the ' tote road ' of the railway builders, a
necessary preliminary of the work, but now abandoned.
We pass the little station of Hector (named from Dr.
Hector, the hero of the ' kicking horse' incident after
which the pass was christened by Palliser's exploring
expedition, about 1845), which is nestling under the
shadow of Mount Stephen. Our little creek has become
a mountain torrent, and falls into quite a large lake,
from which flows on the right hand the Kicking Horse
river. Here begins the great canyon which this stream,
with impulsive suddenness, soon carves deep into the
mountain side. The river becomes a wild and roaring
torrent, leaping over cataracts and dashing down rapids
far below us, making a vast fissure in the mountain
which the railway has to get dowrn by difficult work 18

and skilful engineering The route is cut out of the
great cliffs high up on the sloping side of the canyon,
turning and twisting about in the roughest country
imaginable to put a railway through. Mountain peaks
are seen everywhere with subsidiary valleys between
them, each sending out its rushing stream to feed the
swelling river that roars over the boulders far below.
The views along these are indescribably grand, wdrile
their sides are composed of great and small rocks apparently strewn about by some terrific convulsion. Passing under the edge of the Tunnel mountain the railway
finally gets down to the bottom of this portion of the
canyon, where the river flows with comparative peaceful-
ness into a valley of some breadth. Here, under the
edge of the Tunnel mountain, with the river in front
and an array of other peaks opposite, the Railway
has built a pretty Swiss chalet, as a mountain halting
place for tourists. This is Meld, 2,395 miles west of
Montreal, named from Cyrus W. Field, of New York,
who has always been a great advocate of this
route."
The most striking view along this stretch is where the
line crosses for the second time the Kicking Horse, where
the river rushes underneath the railway through a deep
and narrow gulch. The traveller here sees a valley coming down from the right, out of a marvelous array of
snowT-laden and glacier-studded peaks, the most prominent of which (on the opposite side, ahead) is Mt. Field.
After passing the tunnel this huge peak comes into
plainer view. The hotel at Field (which is the first
station in British Columbia) is an excellent point for
stoppage. It is managed by the Company, and well
provided in every way.
Otter-tail—Alt. 3,670 ft,

After leaving the placid flats of
the Kicking Horse, the line ascends again, crosses the Ottertail
(whence one of the finest views, backward and off towards the right, is given) and descends to the mouth of
the Beaverfoot valley, coming in from the left, where the
road makes a short turn to the right, exposing the noble
Beaverfoot range at the left. " Thus we enter the lower
canyon of the Kicking Horse, the river running suddenly
from a broad valley into a steep-banked fissure, through
w7hich the railway winds. The canyon narrows, and its
sides grow higher, while the river, again a roaring torrent, cuts deeper and deeper into the fissure. The foaming wTaters sweep with raging speed past great precipices
and over rocks and boulders that have fallen directly
into the stream-bed. There is hardly room for the river
and railway to make their way between the enormous
masses of cliff towering far above and almost shutting
out the sunlight. The route is cut out of the rocks, and
the canyon makes such sharp bends that in several cases
to get in a curve that the trains can go around the cliffs
have to be tunnelled and the river bridged. This is
repeatedly done, the torrent being crossed and recrossed

within brief distances. The old ' tote road ' is scratched
out of the hill-side above, and looks like a most dangerous highway, yet along it all the materials had to be
taken before the railway could be built." Finally the
canyon ends, and the train rushes through a narrow
gateway out   into the valley  of  the Columbia.
Here another surprise awaits. The train, escaped
from the canyon-walls, rushes at full speed along the base
of a ridge, which confronts it on the right, until it swings
around its foot toward the north. Then springs into view
a magnificent sierra, lifted high against the azure sky.
It is the Selkirk range of mountains, lofty, rock-ribbed
and glacial. Their base is hidden behind massive folds
of foot-hills looking almost black beneath a mantle of
spruce, which sweeps far up the sides of even the central
cones, intercepted here and there by jutting crags, cut
from top to bottom in long lanes mowed year after year
by the avalanches, and capped by a chain of summits
from whose turrets winter never retreats. And when
the afternoon sun is dropping slowly towards it, and the
mists of the great valley have risen into light clouds
that fleecily veil the cold peaks, they swim in a radiant
warmth and glory of color that suggests Asgard, the
celestial city of Scandinavian story, whose foundations were laid on the icy pillars of those far northern
mountains where the Vikings worshiped.
Golden—A small village on the bank of the Columbia
river. Much gold mining has been done in the vicinity,
and the place is steadily growing in importance. From
here the steamer Duchess makes weekly trips (Thursday)
to the head-lakes of the Columbia, where there are placer
mines. This trip is a novel one, profitable to both sportsman and lover of scenery. From the head of navigation, roads and trails lead over to Findlay creek and
mining village; and to the agricultural and grazing districts in the Kootenay valley.
JMoberly House—Site of the oldest cabin in the mountains.
Donald—End of Western Division. On the bank of the
Columbia, here crossed by a steel bridge. This was the
headquarters of construction in the mountains. Gold is
found along this part of the Columbia, which rises about
100 miles southward, flows swiftly northward 75 miles,
turns sharply westward around the northern end of the
Selkirks and returns southward along their western base. 20

The Columbia is crossed
and its western bank followed down to the Gate of
the Beaver, into which the
. line turns sharply to the
left toward Roger's pass through Selkirks. Crossing the
Columbia on a fine truss bridge, the railway runs down
its margin close under high wooded bluffs, which here
rise into the foot-hills of the Selkirks. The banks of the
river opposite are also lofty bluffs. Seventeen miles below Donald the Beaver river comes down from the
mountains, finding exit through a narrow opening between high rocks, after the manner of all the streams in
this region. Up through this gateway the railway turns
and follows the gorge of the Beaver for several miles,
by means of admirable engineering and through enchanting scenery. It occupies a bed cut into the mountain
side, higher and higher above the stream, wThich is presently abandoned for the side-gorge at the right, dowm
which Mountain creek leaps and dashes, and is passed
upon a bridge nearly 1200 feet in length. Beyond, Cedar
creek is crossed by a bridge 125 feet in height, and not
far west of it is a bridge spanning a rivulet which
descends in a succession of foaming cascades, whence
one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey
is to be had. So impressed wrere the builders with the
charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that
they named the spot The Surprise. The princidal difficulty in construction along this part of the line was
occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid
cascades, which come down the very steep slopes along
wrhich the road creeps. To span these fierce torrents
with bridges or culverts which would not be torn away
required great skill and a liberal expenditure. Several
of the more notable bridges have been mentioned, but
the greatest of all crosses Stony creek—a noisy rill flowing in the bottom of a V-shaped channel, cut deeply into
the soft rock. To so high a level upon the hillside was
the line compelled to attain, that this bridge spans the
ravine 295 feet above the torrent—one of the loftiest
railway bridges in the world. It is about 750 feet long
and cost $250,000. After crossing this bridge the line
follows up the gorge of the insignificant Bear creek, at
whose source is the narrow portal, between Mt. Carroll
on the south and Hermit mountain northward, which
admits to the summit. These mountains are flanked
by enormous precipices, down the side of one of which
(on the right) pitches a waterfall several hundred feet in
height, white and dusty like snow. Mt. Carroll towers
a mile in vertical height above the track, so near, so
bare, sheer and stupendous, that it impresses one with a
sense of the height and majesty of these mountains
in a wray that perhaps no other single view can do. As
this magnificent promontory, whose base is green with
abundant foliage and warmth and whose crest is wreathed in clouds and snow, is gradually left behind, the

Roger's Pass—Summit of the Selkirks, 4,300 ft. in altitude
at the station.   The pass was named after Maj. Rogers,
by whose adventurous energy and skill it was discovered
in 1883, previous to which no human foot had penetrated
these fastnesses of this great central range.   The pass
lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks.   That
on the   right  forms a   prodigious ampitheatre, whose
parapet, eight or nine thousand feet above the valley,
encircles vast spaces of snow and shelters wide fields of
perpetual ice, glaciers beside which those of Switzerland
would be insignificant, and  so   near them that the
shining green fissures penetrating their mass can be distinctly seen.   The changing effects of light and shadow
on this brotherhood of peaks, of which The Hermit is
chief, are beyond statement, and never to be forgotten
by the fortunate man who has seen the sunset or sunrise
tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the
valley about him at   some snow-shower  trailing its
curtain along their crests, with perchance a white peak ,
or two standing serene above the harmless storm.
Glacier House—TwTo miles west of the summit the train
turns to the left and takes one into view of the greatest
of all the Selkirk glaciers, overlooked by  the   stately
monolith named Sir  Donald peak, after  Sir   Donald
Smith of Montreal.    Facing this enormous field of ice
and that crowning summit of the range, whose head is
reared a mile and a quarter in vertical height above the
track, stands the pretty Swiss chalet which forms a meal-
station  for  passing  trains, and  a   most  comfortable
stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or fish or
explore the surrounding mountains and glaciers.   The
great glacier is hardly a mile away, and its forefoot is
only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel.   A
good path has been made to it, and its exploration is
entirely practicable, adding sensations of novelty  and
superiority of size to all those   features   that   attract
Alpine climbers in Switzerland.   Many other pleasant
paths and   " improvements"   have been made in the
neighborhood of this  hotel, which offers a  luxurious
headquarters for mountaineering.   Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges.     Their summits
are the home of the bighorn sheep and the mountain
goat, the latter almost unknown southward of Canada.
Wapiti and deer frequent the lower glades.   Bears can
always be obtained on the mountain heights.   Birds are
numerous, and fish throng in the icy streams.

where the road-bed curves in loops over trestle-bridges
of immense height, at the same time rapidly descending.   In six miles of actual travelling the train only

looking forward down the pass I can see long trestle-

heart beats quickly as I feel the brakes tighten, and the
engine bear on with a quiet, steady, slower rush round
and down and over, while I look through the trestle-
beams into the hurrying foam of waters 150 feet below."
The outlet of this glacier is the Illicilliwaet {" swift
current") river, and it is by its gorge that the descent
is made.   The best views are now backward, toward Sir
Donald and adjacent peaks, which many judge to be the
grandest of all seen.     The illicilliwaet is a stream of no
great size, but of course turbulent, whose water is at first
pea-green with glacial mud, but rapidly clarifies.   The
gorge is sometimes of considerable width, filled with
that remarkable forest of gigantic trees for which British Columbia is  famous,  and there are exceedingly
grand outlooks all along, especially backward.   Halfway down   the train skirts the very brink of several
remarkably deep canyons, cut like enormous trenches
through the solid rock, whose sheer walls rise hundreds
of feet on the opposite side, too steeply to let any soil
or vegetation cling, and   buttress   the wooded   crags
beyond which ranks of glacial mountains are heaped
against the sky.   The most striking of these canyons is
the Albert, where a deep fissure opens in the rocks and
the river suddenly drops down a cataract some 200 ft.,
flowing nearly 300 ft. below the railway, a raging mass
of waters compressed into a stream scarcely 20 ft. wide.
" This strange chasm twists about, and from the train
you have momentary glimpses of the foaming waters
far below.   When it stops, the passengers rush out to get
a better view of the abyss.   At another place, nearer the
Columbia, there is a second gorge, broader but much
similar."   After the huge mountain known as the Twin
Butte (which has a notch cut in the peak, dividing it
into two summits) has been passed, there looms up
upon the right the conspicuous   and   beautiful   peak
named Clachnacuddin.     The Illicilliwaet resembles the
other river-passes in guarding its entrance with narrowr,
rocky portals.   Through these, exit is made into the
broad plain of the Columbia west of the Selkirk foothills, and Begbie, with its   glaciers  and   snow-fields,
Cunningham wTith its double summit, and a long line of
other snowy monarchs in the Gold range ahead, suddenly break upon the vision.    "We   make   our   final

and has here a current of eight miles an hour.   This is
the supplying  point for a  large area  of gold-mining
operations; especially northward toward the great bend
of the river around the northern extremity of the Selkirks.
Half-civilized Kootenay Indians are likely to be seen
here cleverly handling their strangely shaped canoes of
birch-bark.   The river is here navigable for steamers.
The Columbia is crossed upon a

, gether one-third   of  a mile   long,

gradients and through earth-euttinss to  the Summit
lake, at the top of Eagle pass, 1,800 feet above the sea.
" The railway is laid along a succession of lakes and
connecting streams that conduct it through the mountains, and by comparatively easy gradients it gets both
up to and down from the pass.   The region traversed is
a gold-producing section,   and prospectors and placer
miners are numerous, though there are scarcely any
other settlements anywhere in the mountains.    The
Gold range has some snow-capped peaks, but generally
they are much lower than the Rockies or the Selkirks,
and have more rounded tops, being composed of loose
materials, requiring very little difficult rock-cutting in
building the line.   The region is a universal forest in the
valleys and upon the mountain   slopes.    .   .   .   Th§
principal lakes in succession are Summit, Victor, Three
Valley and Griffin.   We go through these forests to the
summit of the pass, which is the dividing ridge between
the waters seeking the Pacific ocean by the Columbia
river and these flowing westward through the Fraser
river.   At the actual summit there is a long and narrow
lake of beautiful clear water surrounded by high mountains.   This is the beginning of the Eagle river, and the
railway route is cut out of the rocky border of the lake.
Its winding shores and overhanging cliffs are very pretty.
Then the line follows the Eagle river down the western
slope, a succession of long narrow lakes and their connecting streams, the railway seeking one shore or the
other as has best presented a feasible line.   While the
scenery is fine, there is nothing like the startling canyons
and terrific engineering seen in the other mountain ranges.    .   .   .   Lake after lake is passed, the finest being
the Three Valley lake, which stretches three arms into

angler.   It is in this attractive region that we pass a 24

JNotch Hill to the Great Shuswap lake, so named
Shuswap from the Indian tribe that lived on
Ducks | its banks and who still have a ' re
serve' there. This is a most remarkable body of wTater.
It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys
like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These
arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred
yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high,
bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand
and pebbles, with alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The railway crosses one of these arms by a
drawbridge at Sicamous narrows, and then goes for a
long distance along the southern shores of the lake, running entirely around the end of the Salmon arm. For
fifty miles the line winds in-and out the bending shores,
while geese and ducks fly over the waters and light and
shadow play upon the opposite banks. This lake with
its bordering slopes gives a fine reminder of Scottish
scenery. The railway in getting around it leads at different, and many, times towards every one of the thirty-two
points of the compass. Leaving the Salmon arm of the
lake rather than go a long and circuitous course around
the mountains to reach the Southwestern arm, the line
bodily strikes through the forest over the top of the intervening ridge. We come out at some 600 feet elevation above this ' arm,' and get a magnificent view across
the lake, its winding shores on both sides of the long
and narrow sheet of water stretching far on either hand,
with high mountain ridges for the opposite background.
The line gradually runs down hill until it reaches the
level of the water, but here it has passed the lake, which
has narrowed into the [south branch of the] Thompson
river. The remainder of the route follows the valley of
this stream, which gives as pretty a sight as one would
care to see of a rich pastoral valley enclosed between
mountain ridges. The Shuswap Indian reserve shows some
signs of settlement and cultivation between the river and
the lake on an extended stretch of lowland bordered by
forests. The Indians of British Columbia are said to
make better labourers than most of those on the plains,
when they will work. They make excellent herdsmen
and shepherds on the ranches in these luxuriant valleys,
and their little settlements are scattered at intervals
along the river wherever they can pick up a livelihood.

has been so accustomed to rocks and roughness and the
uninhabited desolation of the mountains is gladdened
by the sight of grass, fenced fields, growing crops, haystacks, and good farmhouses on the level surface, while
herds of cattle, sheep, and horses roam over the valley
and bordering hills in large numbers. This is a ranching country extending far into the mountain valleys
west of the Gold range on both sides of the railway, and
is one of the garden spots of British Columbia. . . .
The people are comparatively old settlers, having come
in from the Pacific coast, and it does one's heart good,
after having passed the rude little cabins and huts of the
plains and mountains, to see their neat and trim cottages, with the evidences of thrift that are all around."
Kamloops—Pop. 1,00 (. Divisional point, and principal
town in the Thompson River valley, begun years ago
around a Hudson's Bay post. The north fork of the
Thompson comes down from the mountains 100 miles
nortrrward ,and here joins the main stem, whence the
the name, which is an Indian word meaning a river-
confluence. It is a beautiful spot. " The broad valley
is intersected by another coming into it at right angles.
The rivers flow over the plain and finally join. There is
both a background and a foreground of bordering hills,
and the town stretches along a single street at the edge
of the river. At either end the Chinese have set up their
special little towns, while the English residents occupy
the centre. The railway track enclosed with planks
runs along the middle of the street, and this is the foot-
walk and promenade. Little steamboats are on the
river, and saw-mills are briskly at work." The principal
industry around Kamloops will always be grazing, since
the hills are covered with most nutritious bunch-grass.

Below Kamloops the Thompson enters a series of canyons, leading to the

which it pours at Lytton. " Startling
as was the ride through the Rockies

line upon the steep banks of the deep

superb scenes and magnificent displays of the art of
successful road-making. . . . It is at the Kamloops
lake, a beautiful sheet of water into which the Thompson river widens just below the town, that the fine
scenery of the canyon begins. This lake is about 20 miles
long and a mile or two wide. The river above it meanders in careless crookedness through a valley that is enclosed by parallel ridges of round-topped, furrowed, and
water-worn hills, the bottom-lands making a good grazing country, with many herds of cattle. The lake spreads
across this valley, the bordering hills, however, changing

tain range is entered. They bear no timber, and the
sombre aspect of the cliffs, with the parched brown
vegetation, contrasts sharply with the bright green
wraters. The railway has to be carried on ledges and
through tunnels on the southern bank, the views over
lake being beautiful as the route winds in and out, now
piercing a tunnel and now hung upon a bridge over
some great fissure. A half-dozen rocky ridges stretch
across this lake, and have been broken through by the
waters, so that it presents a series of high promontories and intervening bays. The little village of
Savonas [where the Government's line ended and the
C. P. R. construction eastward began] is at the foot of
the lake, and below this the gorge narrows and the
Thompson river flows out with swift current towards
the sea, plunging with mad pace over the successions of
rapids at the bottom of the canyon. This canyon broadens
and narrows as the mountain chains approach or recede,
and the railway is carried high above the river on the
southern side. Where the bottom lands spread out the
river winds through them, leaving flats or bars. It is on
these and the sandy outflows of the mountain streams
which fall in, that much gold has been found, and both
. here and on the Fraser river can be seen the gold hunters shaking their " cradles" to wash the sand from the
gold dust. In the bottoms and on the hills along this
river, until the gorge runs too far into the mountains, the
grazing is good, and there are evidences of some settlement, with cattle herds and horses feeding on the
' bunch grass,' which looks in its dried condition like so
much hay. Below this part, however, the rocks become
too steep to permit of much habitation. A light bridge
deep down in the canyon, thrown across the Thompson
river where several roads come together out of the
mountains, gives a name to the station of Spence's
Bridge. . . .As the Thompson river canyon gets further into the mountains the gorge becomes deeper and
narrower and the scenery even more grand. The hills
are denuded of trees, but some shrub-timber grows in
sheltered parts of the valleys. The river becomes a wild
torrent. The railway has a difficult route, is laid high
above the water, and crosses a great number of lofty
trestle-bridges over the fissures in the sides of the canyon,
while it has to pierce cliff after cliff through tunnels.
The sides of the gorge in most places are precipitous,
making it impossible to get down to the water's edge.
A wagon road is cut into the precipice along the top,
high above the stream, and here are seen a party of
Indians with their ponies, moving their household goods
on the animals' backs. But it seems perilous navigation to go along such a roadway in such a dangerous
place, entirely unprotected from falling far down into
the abyss below. Then the canyon gradually winds its
wray into the mountains and approaches the highest
peaks, some with snow-rifts on their summits, which
border the canyon of the Fraser river. And finally we
come to Lytton, a town started by a colony of gold-

miners at the junction of the two rivers	
"The Fraser river is the chief watercoursex>f British
Columbia, rising in the northern portion of the Rockies,
and flowing for about 500 miles before it begins to break
through the mountains on its way to the strait of Georgia. It passes Lytton as a full stream with rapid, turbid
current, which, when the Thompson river is added, becomes much larger and at times a foaming torrent. It
flows through a deep and rocky gorge, but with the
slopes and bottoms better timbered than the Thompson
River valley. The scenery is, if anything, on a grander
scale, and the huge rocks that have fallen into the water
have been worn by the action of the elements into forms
like towers, castles, and rows of bridge-piers, with the
swift current eddying around them. The cliffs that
encompass the river rise for thousands of feet, and in
many places stand up like solid walls, or jut out, and
almost bar the passage. A pair of such protruding promontories is used by the railway to cross the river on a
fine iron bridge [the cantilever bridge near Sisco~\, but
it has to tunnel one of the cliffs to secure a safe route on
the opposite bank. The great number of mountain torrents coming in, and the rocky buttresses that intervene,
make the railway for miles a succession of tunnels and
trestle-bridges, most costly to construct, and compel
endless bends to get a practicable route at all. These
obstructions narrow the channel so that the river runs at
race-horse speed. Clouds encompass the higher peaks
and float along in the canyon while the water boils below.
There are intervals, however, when the valley broadens
sufficiently to permit a nook wrhere an acre or two of comparatively level land gives a chance for brief cultivation."

easily support a much larger population."
New Westminster Junction—Divergence of branch to
Newt Westminster, an old and important seaport in the
populous and fertile Fraser delta; distance, 8 miles.
Port Moody—At the head of Burrard inlet, in the midst
of forests of gigantic trees. This was the provisional
terminus of the road, and has an excellent harbor, but
there are dangerous narrows between it and the open
strait, which made the lowTer harbor of the inlet, at
Vancouver, the present terminus, far superior as a
commercial port.
Vancouver—Pop. 5,000. Vancouver, the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific, stands upon the beautiful
slope bordering English harbor, near the entrance of
Burrard inlet. The town has been built with great
rapidity, but the wooden houses first thrown up to
afford shelter, are fast giving place to substantial buildings of stone and brick; extensive wharves line the
shores, where only two or three years ago the primitive
forest swept to the water's edge; while a crowd of shipping and boats, moved by steam and sails, by the sturdy
arms of fishermen, lumbermen and settlers, or under
disciplined strokes of a man-o'-war's crew ; together with
dozens of Indian canoes of all shapes and sizes, some
paddled by men and others by squaws, with a cargo of
furs, fish, vegetables and children, or simply steered
with a carved paddle wThile the breeze fills their sails of
bark-matting, combine to make a scene of lively animation off shore. The shores of Burrard inlet elsewhere
has several settlements and timber-mills ; and one pretty
town with white-painted houses and a neat church is an
Indian mission-station, of some 300 people. Vancouver
is a calling-port for most of the coast-wise steamers, and
port of departure for steamers to Japan and China. On
the arrival of the train a steamer departs for Victoria,
on Vaucouver island,—a ferriage of eight hours through
the beautiful archipelagos of the gulf of Georgia and
Puget sound.
Victoria—Pop.12,000. Capital of British Columbia, situated
at the southern extremity of Vancouver island. It has
a lovely site, and its mild climate is healthful. English
people and manners predominate, in contrast with
" Western" abruptness, Chinese picturesqueness and
Indian squalor. At Esquimault harbor (2 m.), an Imperial naval station, a fleet rendezvous. This station,
Beacon Hill park, overlooking the straits of Fuca and
the Olympic mts., and many fine drives make the place
one of the most interesting in Canada. Victoria does
a large business in naval supplies, general merchandise,
fish, coal and timber. A railway extends thence to
the coal and farming districts near Nanaimo on the
western coast of the island.
transpacific steamships

Steamships on the Pacific Ocean
Steamships of the Canadian Pacific line, depart from Vancouver every
three weeks for Japan and China, according to the appended table.
These are fast steamers heretofore in the service of the Cunard line.
Their route is shorter by 800 miles than the steamers from San
Francisco. The trip will require only 12 to 15 days to Yokohama, and
17 to 20 days to Hong Kong. At Yokohama, connection is made for
all other ports in Japan, eastern China and Corea; and at Hong Kong
for Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Levuka, Batavia, Calcutta and the
East Indies, and Australasia generally. In addition to the Japan line
an extensive coast-service has been provided, at Victoria, where daily
connection is made by prompt steamboats and railroads for all the seaports, towns and farming districts in Washington Terr, and Oregon,
U.S.A. Once a week or oftener, steamers depart from Vancouver or
Victoria to San Francisco, where connection is made for the Sandwich
Islands and Australia, southern California, Mexico and South America.
Once a fortnight, a steamer leaves Vancouver for Alaska, traversing a
region of magnificent scenery. The course is wholly within narrow and
intricate, but deep and safe, channels, affording a constant succession of
magnificent scenery.

and Marmora Ry-; these roads open
iron-mining districts northward. Trenton and Picton are reached by the
Central Ontario Ry. At Norwood, a
flourishing village, a fine farming
country is entered.
Peterboro—Pop. 8,000. Here the Otonabee river, in the
space of 9 miles, rushes down an incline of 147 ft.,
furnishing waterpower to many mills. " From this point
as a centre, a whole realm of wild beauty opens out^ to
the lover of nature, quiet lakes innumerable, flashing
waterfalls, sparkling streams abounding in fish and game.
This is the place where the Rice-lake canoe was invented,
and in it the whole territory can be traversed with few
portages. Through this region, down the Trent, came in
early times the ubiquitous Champlain from L. Huron,
leading the Huron raid into Iroquois-land,"

Toronto—Pop. (with suburbs) 110,000. This point was one
of the earliest French fortifications against the Indians,
and afterwards a trading post and naval station of importance to' the English. It is the capital of Ontario,
its people are almost wholly English-speaking, and it is
mainly devoted to manufacturing and mercantile pursuits.
Many railways centre here, and its lake commerce is
considerable. A line of boats makes two trips a day to
Niagara Falls, and other lines daily trips down the St.
Lawrence. In addition to forming the central point for
the various Ontario lines of the Canadian Pacific, Toronto
is reached by the Grand Trunk Ry., and is connected by
the Northern and Northwestern Railway with the agricultural and lake regions of northern Ontario,reaching the
Canadian Pacific Railway Main Line at North Bay, on
Lake Nipissing. The city is laid out in streets crossing
at right angles; is excellently built; and possesses many
interesting features to the tourist. It considers itself the
most enterprising community in eastern Canada, but is
not wholly given over to commercial ambition. The
University of Toronto, and several lesser educational
institutions have a wide reputation; the city is well supplied with churches; and possesses several large and
_ valuable libraries and collections of pictures. Its parks
and suburbs are beautiful, and opportunities for pleasure-
taking in the harbor and surrounding hills are many.

Building stone and brick-clays abundant. Manufactures,
especially of furniture and wooden-ware, are increasing.
Shooting and fishing in great variety is easily accessible.
In addition to the steamships of the Canadian Pacific
line for Port Arthur, steamers depart regularly for Col-
lingwood, and all ports on Georgian bay, Manitoulin
island, and in the Indian peninsula separating Georgian
bay from Lake Huron. Many irregular steamers and
sailing vessels call at frequent intervals, taking passengers

THE CANADIAN  PACIFIC STEAMSHIP  LIKE
Canadian Pacific  Steamships.
The steel steamships Alberta and Athabasca, of this line, perform
a bi-weekly service between Owen Sound and Port Arthur, departing
from Owen Sound on Wednesdays and Saturdays, after arrival of the
steamship express from Toronto.
These vessels are new and elegant Clyde-built steamships surpassing
in speed, safety and comfort, all other steamers on the great lakes.
They each have a gross measurement of nearly 1,800 tons, are 270 feet in
length, and complete in every detail. Their furnishing is equal in
luxury to that of the ocean steamers, and their table compares favorably
with that of the leading hotels of our large cities. They are lighted
throughout by electricity, furnished with steam steering-gear, and provided with every appliance for safety.

PORTS—Descriptive   Notes
Owen Sound—The course of the departing steamer is laid
down Georgian bay, with the wooded shores of Indian
peninsula on the left, and many pretty islands in view.
During thenight the steamer passes out into L Huron,
and by morning approaches Detour Channel, where land
is close at hand on either side. After passing through
several small and exceedingly picturesque lakes we
reach St. Mary's river, which drains the overflow
of lake Superior into L. Huron. Up this narrow,
forest-bordered and charming water-defile, the steamer
pursues a devious wray for several hours until debarred
by the rapids of St. Mary, where it makes its only stop
between Owen Sound and Port Arthur.
Sault Ste. Marie—There is a village on the Canadian side
as wrell as on the Michigan side, at which latter all
vessels must stop to pass through the canal by which
the falls, or " Sault Ste. Marie," are avoided. The canal
was built in 1853-5, and has two locks of 350 ft. each...
Since then a new lock has been made, 515 ft. in length,
and 80 ft. in width, admitting vessels of 16 ft. draught,
. and overcoming a rise of 18 ft. The width of the canal
varies from 108 to 270 ft,-—-A garrison of U.S. troops,
has enabled a large and busy village to grow up on the
Michigan side. The fishing here is excellent, and a
favorite sport is running the rapids in boats guided by
Indians. Here will soon be built the bridge connecting
the Algoma branch of the Can. Pac. Ry., with United
States railways running westward to St. Paul. After
an hour's halt, the steamer enters L. Superior, and
heads northwest, past Whitefish point (on the left)
straight across the lake to Isle Royale and Thunder
cape, protecting Thunder bay and the harbor of
Port Arthur—Described on p. 12.
