days from Vancouver.
Vancouver, B. C, Waterfront
Newcastle Island
• ONE DAY TRIP SUGGESTIONS
Many opportunities are offered for one day water trips
by Canadian Pacific steamships at very moderate rates.
• THE GULF ISLANDS
A cruise through these beautiful islands in the Gulf of
Georgia, including Galiano, Mayne, Pender, Salt Spring
and many others, will be found most enjoyable. The
round trip from Vancouver can be made in one day, and
meals can be.obtained on board.
• JERVIS INLET
Situated about fifty miles north of Vancouver, this large
"fiord" is forty-five miles long, and completely surrounded by high mountains. A trip through the narrow,
winding channels of this beautiful inlet is one which will
be long remembered.

The Inner Harbor, Victoria: Parliament Buildings in centre, Empress Hotel on left
ONE of the most attractive regions of the Pacific
Northwest—whether the end sought is scenery,
climate, sport, or merely flower-perfumed idleness-
is encompassed within the picturesque and rugged shores
of the magnificent island that lies off the mainland of
British Columbia and takes its name from its eighteenth-
century discoverer. Reposing in splendor on the bosom
of the grand old Pacific Ocean, and reached within a few
hours by a delightful trip from Vancouver city or Seattle,
this treasure island presents a tourist playground of easy
access that is unsurpassed by any section of the continent.
As large in area as the country of Denmark, it contains
so vast a variety of incomparable attractions that not
inaptly has it ] een termed "The Island of a Thousand
Miles of Wonderland."
THAT -'ntrepid navigator, Captain George Vancouver
of the British navy, discovered it in 1792, two
centuries after the Greek navigator masquerading
as Juan de Fuca, in the service of Spain, was credited with
the discovery, for there is historical doubt whether the
latter ever even sailed the waters tributary to the island.
Two sentences from Captain Vancouver's Journal will
well serve to-day:
"To describe the beauties of the region will, on some
future occasion, be a very grateful task to the pen of a
skilful panegyrist. The serenity of the climate, the
innumerable pleasing landscapes, and the abundant
fertility that unassisted Nature puts forth, require only
to be nourished by the industry of man with villages,
mansions, cottages and other buildings to render it the
most lovely country that can be imagined."
THESE predictions have come true. The first step
was the founding by the Hudson's Bay Company
in 1843 of what is now the delightful city of
Victoria, at the southern end of the island. Pretty little
towns and rural communities dot the island for 175 miles.
Settlement and capital have flowed in—have developed
the fertile lands, the rich mines and the heavy forests
with which Vancouver Island is so well endowed, and
have created prosperity and contentment.
Most of all, Vancouver Island is endowed with a
wonderful climate, tempered by the ocean breezes and
warm Japan Current, a climate that has extremes neither
of heat nor of cold, in which roses bloom almost up to
Christmas. That is why Victoria, variously known as the
Garden City, the City of Sunshine, and the Evergreen
City, has become so favorite a winter resort.
TO the sportsman, Vancouver Island offers superlative attractions. Wonderful shooting and fishing
are to be obtained almost everywhere, at very
few places very remote or inaccessible. The Island has
a thousand miles of fine motor roads, threading magnificent scenery. Golf, bathing, canoeing, sailing, polo and
tennis are there to suit the varying mood.

Victoria ?
v
ICTORIA, the largest city of Vancouver
Island, is charmingly situated at the southern
end of the Island.
There is an enticing welcome to the traveller entering its harbor—the blue-tinted Sooke Hills, the Little
Saanich Mountain, the snow-capped Olympic Mountains on the mainland, and then, entering the square
Inner Harbor, a foreground of beautiful trees, shrubs,
and flower-gardens, with the Parliament Buildings
rising from lawns on the right, the ivy-covered Empress Hotel right ahead, the city at the left, and the
old cathedral on the hill above.
Victoria is the Evergreen City of Canada—a city
of flowers, hydrangeas, roses, hedges, oak trees, holly,
bungalows, gardens, trim boulevards, and delightful
parks. Its mild climate makes it a haven of content,
in summer as in winter, for while zero weather is unknown there, so also is excessive heat. The characteristic beauty of its residential district has made it distinctively a home city—a spot favored, incidentally,
by those who have acquired a sufficiency of this world's
goods and wish to work no more. Nevertheless, Victoria's enterprising business district, composed of imposing stores and tall office buildings, speaks of a rich
commerce drawn from the vast resources^of Vancouver Island.
VICTORIA has within its boundaries, or within
easy access, many beautiful parks. Chief of them
is Beacon Hill Park, comprising some 300 acres
laid out as recreation grounds and pleasure gardens
and containing many interesting monuments and
relics. Magnificent views of the sea and the Olympic
Mountains can be obtained from here. Gorge Park is
a popular pleasure resort, with boating, bathing,
picnic grounds, and open-air entertainments.
The principal bathing resorts within easy reach of
Victoria, in addition to the Gorge, are Foul Bay, Cadboro Bay, Cordova Bay, Brentwood Beach, Willows,
and Shoal Bay. These can be reached either by
street car or by automobile. Sight-seeing automobiles make frequent trips during the season. Cadboro
Bay is near Uplands, a charming residential section.
THE EMPRESS HOTEL
AT Victoria, overlooking the Inner Harbor, is the
Empress Hotel of the Canadian Pacific—an
hotel of stately architecture, hospitable spirit,
spacious atmosphere, and social warmth. This is the
westernmost of the chain of Canadian Pacific hotels
that spans Canada from coast to coast and offers to
the traveller the highest standard of hotel service.
Page Two
PARLIAMENT BUILDING
VICTORIA is the provincial capital of British
Columbia and the seat of government. The
Parliament Building, which is amongst the
finest in America, both for architecture and situation,
is a handsome structure overlooking the Inner
Harbor. In the eastern block is the Provincial
Museum, very complete and interesting, and containing a large assortment of specimens of natural
history, native woods, Indian curios and prehistoric
instruments. The Provincial Library is a fine one.
Its historical prints, documents, and other works,
especially regarding the Pacific Coast, are of great
value and interest. In the old legislative buildings
on Superior Street is a Mineral Museum.
OBSERVATORY
VICTORIA'S unequalled climate and its low
range of temperature guided the choice of Observatory Hill (formerly Little Saanich Mountain)
for the site of the great Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. This was completed in 1918, the new telescope, which has a 72-inch reflector, being the largest
in the world. The observatory is reached by interurb-
an car, and is open daily. Another observatory, the
Meteorological, is situated in Gonzales Hill, near
Foul Bay.
BRENTWOpD
BRENTWOOD is a charming resort situated on
Saanich Inlet, fifteen miles from the city, and
reached by street car or au tomobile. There is a
modern country hotel here, beautifully finished in Old
English style, and with excellent facilities for boating,
bathing, tennis, billiards, and other recreations.
THE BUTCHART GARDENS
NEAR Brentwood are the beautiful sunken gardens of Mr. R. P. Butchart, unsurpassed on
the Pacific Coast, which are open to visitors
on certain days of the week.
ESQUIMALT
FOUR miles from Victoria, Esquimalt was for
many years Great Britain's only naval station
on the Pacific Coast. The Dock Yard has now
been handed over to the Canadian Government, and
is the base on the Pacific Coast for the Canadian
and Imperial navies.
OAK BAY
OAK BAY is one of the principal residential
districts of Victoria. With an excellent hotel,
it has facilities for boating and some fine walks
along the sea front.

MOTORING
CONSIDERING the size of Vancouver Island,
there are possibly more good motor trips
radiating from Victoria than any other place
in America. The motor roads are excellent, the
drives north to Campbell River, Port Alberni,
Sproat and Great Central Lakes being among the
most spectacular in the world. Automobile owners
from the United States who wish to tour Vancouver
Island can bring their cars into Canada for one
month without any formalities beyond the signing
of a registration card at point of entry, and if it is
desired that longer stay be made, the usual bond is
arranged. Among the most popular trips are:
Victoria, Marine Drive and Mount Douglas Parki
25 miles;
Little Saanich Mountain Observatory and Brentwood
33 miles;
Tour offcSaanichrPeninsula, 45 miles;
Thejfamous Malahat Drive to Shawnigan and Duncan
(Island Highway), 41 miles;
Nanaimo, via Parksville to Cameron Lake, 40 miles
—over Albreni Summit, 57 miles;
The Grand Island Highway Tour—Victoria, Duncan,
Nanaimo, Cameron Lake, Port Alberni, Qualicum
and Campbell River, and the entire Georgian
Circuit International Tour, the greatest and most
complete scenic tour on the continent.
Automobiles. There are many garages from which~cars can be
hired. Rates, usually $3.00 per hour for 5-passenger cars, $3,50 per hour
for /-passenger cars. Special arrangements can be made for a two or three
day trip. There are several auto liveries providing cars without drivers
at reasonable rates for those who wish to diive themselves.
Boats. Canoes, Etc. W Victoria Harbor has exceptional facilities for boating, including a run (4 miles) to the Gorge. Boats and canoes
can be hired from the Gorgeway boathouse at $2.50 a day, or 50 cents the
hour. Motor boats can be hired from the same place by special arrangement. Boats and canoes can also be hired from the Oak Bay boathouse and
Cadboro Bay^boathouse, the rates being the same.
Riding. Very excellent hacks can be hired at'The Willows," and
there are some very beautiful roads along which people can ride, not very
much frequented by motor cars. These include the University road, the
Cadboro Bay road, and the road running around Mount Tolmie. Rates for
horses are $3.50 the first hour, $1.50 the second, and $1.00_the third.
Special rates will be made to board people's own horses, j
_ Tennis. There arerfour grass tennis courts, the chief of which is
the Victoria Lawn Tennis Court. Members of any recognized tennis club
canobtain visitors' privileges.
CLIMATE
ACCORDING to figures supplied by the Meteorological Office of the Dominion Government,
the lowest point reached at Victoria during the
year of 1921 was 16° Fahrenheit in the month of December, while in only two months, July and August,
was any higher point reached than 75°. The mean in
the hottest summer month of August was 58°, while
Page Four
the mean over the whole year was 49°. The winter
months of January and February show mean temperatures of 40 and 41, although temperatures in both
months were recorded as high as 55°. No wonder
that the grass is always green and that spring comes
early in this equable and delightful climate.
GOLFING
EVER since 1893, Victoria has had its golf links.
There is no better known club or course in the
Dominion than the Victoria Golf Club, with its
famous greens at Oak Bay at the southern end of Vancouver Island. Many of the holes skirt the shore of
the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The view from the third
short hole across the strait to the snow-clad Olympic
range of mountains in Washington is magnificent.
Another remarkably fine course in Victoria is
that of the Colwood Golf and Country Club. In
addition to its excellent standing as a links, the
course is exceptionally beautiful, possessing many
fine oak trees as well as a number of groves of fir.
The United Service Golf Club has a 9-hole course
at Esquimalt and an 18-hole course in construction
at Uplands.
GUESTS of the Empress Hotel have, upon payment of regular green fees, privileges at the
Colwood Golf and Country Club. Application should be made to the Manager of the hotel.

2fce East Coast
THE East Coast of Vancouver Island is served by
the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway, a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific, which runs in a northerly direction, within a close distance most of the
time of the coast line, for 140 miles to Courtenay,
nearly half-way up the Island. Branches run also to
Cowichan Lake and to Port Alberni, and an extension
of the main line is projected from Courtenay to Campbell River. This line carries the visitor through a succession of rich agricultural, lumbering, and mining
regions, and through magnificent, rugged scenery.
Colwood, eight miles beyond Victoria, is a thriving
little settlement of truck and poultry farmers, and the
station for the Colwood Country Club. Continuing
through a country wooded on one side and more or
less open on the other, the Langford and Goldstream
Lakes are passed. The line rises gradually to Malahat,
which is the summit of the railway crossing the Malahat
Range and from which there is a prolonged view of Todd
Inlet and the Saanich Arm. The Malahat Drive (in view
from the railway) crosses this mountain.
SHAWNIGAN LAKE is a beautiful sheet of water
that provides excellent fishing. On its shore is
the comfortable Strathcona Lodge, from which a
splendid view of the lake can be obtained. Shawnigan
is a small settlement at the northerly end of the lake.
Cobble Hill, the next station, is a prosperous dairying
district. Cowichan, the station for Cowichan Bay, is
one of the best places for salmon trolling in the island.
Duncan is the centre of a beautiful and prosperous
agricultural, fruit-growing and poultry-raising region,
with numerous charming residences, and is largely
populated by retired English people, many of the residents supplementing their incomes by farming.
Duncan is the principal point for fishing the
Cowichan and Koksilah Rivers—the former one of
the best fishing waters in British Columbia, where
excellent steelhead can be taken on the fly. A
branch line runs twenty miles northwesterly, through a
busy logging country with an enormous output, to Cowichan
Lake. The waters of this lake teem with gamy trout, and
the forests bordering its shores harbor enough feathered and
furred game to fill the hunter's fondest dreams.
SOMENOS and Westholme are the agricultural
and lumbering settlements. Chemainus has one
of the largest sawmills in the province, and is a
good stopping point for fishing on the Chemainus River. Ladysmith, on Oyster Bay, is an important coal
mining town, as also are Cassidy, South Wellington,
Nanaimo, and Wellington. Nanaimo, overlooking a
Page Six
beautiful bay, is the second largest city of Vancouver
Island, the fourth largest in the province, and, owing
to its proximity to the mainland, one of the main arteries of the island trade. It is the distributing centre
for coal, and headquarters of prosperous agricultural
and herring fishing interests. It has a direct Canadian Pacific steamer service to Vancouver.
The line continues through heavily wooded country to Nanoose Bay, around the southern shore of
which it runs. Parksville Junction is the centre of a
substantial mixed farming district, with excellent fishing and bathing. With a beautiful beach, it is becoming a favored seaside resort. It is the junction point
for the branch to Port Alberni, some forty miles distant in a westerly direction. This branch runs through
a magnificently wooded country, practically untouched by the hand of man, to Cameron Lake, which has
very good trout fishing and shooting. A pretty
and comfortable chalet owned by the railway company provides accommodation for visitors.
From Cameron Lake the line skirts the foothills of
Mount Arrowsmith (6,000 feet high), the grandest mountain
of the island. Port Alberni and its associate town Alberni
look out on the majestic waters of the Alberni Canal, a deep
and mountain-skirted arm of the Pacific capable of giving
anchorage to an immense volume of shipping.
RESUMING the journey northward from Parksville, a six-mile run brings the traveller to Qualicum Beach, a popular summer resort that has
one of the finest bathing beaches for children on the
East Coast. There is good fishing and shooting in the
vicinity. The next point of importance reached is Union Bay, shipping point for the coal mines at Comox
and Cumberland, which have a very heavy production.
Through a diversity of seashore and woodland
scenery, Courtenay, the present terminus of the
line, is reached. It is the centre for the agricultural
business of the Comox Valley, the largest farming
and most productive region of the Island. A big
Returned Soldier Settlement has been established at
Merville. There are very extensive timber interests
adjacent to the valley, making it an attractive location for future settlers as the timber is removed and
land cleared. Campbell River, ranking in fame as a
salmon-fishing water with Cowichan, is north of Courtenay.
It can be reached by steamer from Vancouver or by motor
boat or automobile from Courtenay. A combination of
steamer, motor and rail from Vancouver to Campbell River
and back again makes a wonderful round-trip. Near by is
Strathcona Park, a new Provincial Park of nearly 800 square
miles.

Hunting & Fishing
PRACTICALLY speaking, all the lakes and
streams of Vancouver Island contain trout of
some kind or other—chiefly rainbow or cutthroat. Very large trout are caught by trolling in the
bigger lakes, but there is no trout water on the Island
where the fish will not take the fly. In the heat of
midsummer, when the rivers are low, excellent
sport may be had with sea-trout in the estuaries.
Of the several varieties of salmon, there are only
two of particular appeal to the sportsman, the Coho
and the Spring. The latter, known by several aliases,
such as King, Tyee and Chinook, are the better
table fish, and attain to greater weight. There are
various localities off Vancouver Island where fifty
pound Springs are common; twenty or thirty pound
fish are ordinary in any of the estuaries when the
springs are running.
In February and March there is a run to the river, but the
big run comes in August, September and October. The
Cohoes have a small run in May and June, and are very
game at that time, but the main run comes during the latter
part of September, when they play more on the surface. The
fall Coho averages about nine pounds in weight.
That the British Columbia salmon will not take the fly
is a fallacy which has been disproved. Both Spring salmon
and Cohoes are caught with a fly every season by anglers
who know how and when to use the fly.
The other fish which are plentiful in Vancouver Island
waters are steelheads, a combination of salmon and trout,
which run from the sea in the winter months; and char, very
handsome fish attaining a large weight and giving very fine
sport on spooning tackle or a salmon fly. It is found chiefly
at the outlets of the larger lakes.
The principal rivers for the fly fishermen on the East Coast are^the
Cowichan River, Koksilah River, Chemainus River, the Englishman's
River, Little and Big Qualicum, the Courtenay, the Oyster River (between
Courtenay and Campbell River), and Campbell River. On the West Coast
there are the San Juan River, the Gordon, the Ash, the Stamp, the Drinkwater, etc.
The principal trolling places are Victoria Harbor, Saanich Inlet, Cowichan Bay, Ladysmith Harbor, Campbell River, the Alberni Canal, and the
many inlets on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Vancouver Island is wealthy in both furred and feathered game. The
varieties include black-tail deer, black bear, cougar, wolves, pheasants,
grouse, snipe, quail, ducks and geese.
Any hotel, guide and other rates quoted in this booklet are not
necessarily guaranteed by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
NEAR VICTORIA
Shooting. Just outside Victoria, along the Saanich
Peninsula and the B.C. Electric Railway, there is excellent
shooting to be had in the proper seasons. Pheasants, grouse
and quail are easily obtainable. Excellent deer shooting may
be had within fifteen or twenty miles of the city. The Sooke
and Malahat districts may be specially mentioned.
Fishing. In Victoria harbor, and just outside, very good
trolling for salmon can be obtained. The best spot is what
is known as Brotchie Ledge. The season is open practically
the year round for different species of salmon—Tyee, Cohoes,
and Grilse. The best season for Springs is January and February,
and again in June and July. There is an early run of Cohoes in March and
April, and again in August and September, continuing until the end of the
year with Springs and Grilse.
Page Eight
GOLDSTREAM
Goldstream, ten miles from Victoria, is the stopping place
for Langford Lake. This lake is one of the only two waters
in the whole of British Columbia where bass can be obtained.
There is fair shooting in the vicinity.
BRENTWOOD
The fishing is exactly the same as at Victoria, and the
hotel management has always one or two men on hand who
are willing to act as guides. The shooting is quite good, and
quite a number of deer can be obtained; also, the hunting is
not difficult. Reached by B.C. Electric or motor, rate for
latter $4.00.
SOOKE
Sooke is a small village on Sooke Harbour, south of
Victoria, and is reached by a stage leaving the corner of
Douglas and Fort Streets twice a day; return fare $2, also
reached by motor $5. There is very good fishing both trout and
salmon, and at the mouth of the Sooke River excellent steelheadjffishing
can be obtained in February and March.
Shooting. Deer, bear and birds can be easily obtained. Guides
can be obtained at the hotel. The hotel manager, Major Nicholson, is
an experienced hunter and fisherman and can give all information.
SHAWNIGAN LAKE
Boats and canoes can be hired from the hotel, motor boats
also (rate for the latter, $2.50 per hour.) The hotel manager,
M. A. Wylde, is one of the best fishermen and hunters on
Vancouver Island, and an authority on the fishing in the
district.
Fishing. Excellent trout fishing can be had on the lake. The
• seasons are from March 15th until the end of June, and from September
to October, when the fly fishing is very good. Fish can be obtainecLall the
summer by trolling, but the best fly fishing is in September.
Shooting. Within a short distance fromi the hotel excellent
grouse, pheasant, quail and duck shooting can be had in their respective
seasons. In the hills at the back of the hotel, there is some very good deer
shooting, and black bears are obtainable in the earlier spring.
DUNCAN
Principal point for fishing the famous Cowichan Jand
Koksilah Rivers.
Shooting. Excellent shooting can be obtained, and the
pheasant shooting is very good indeed, but owing to there
being many settlers it is necessary to obtain the permission
of the owners of the different farms. They, however, will
usually give this. Deer and bear shooting can be had at the
back of the hills.
Fishing. The Cowichan River is within a quarter of a mile from
the town, and in January and February excellent steelhead fishing can be
obtained. The best flies to use are the big Silver Doctor or Jock Scott, but
the favorite way of taking these fish is with spoons, either by using a
Siwash, Phantom, Devon or Minnow. It is, however, absolutely unnecessary to use these lures, as the fish will usually take the fly. In the spring
the fly trout fishing is very good indeed and continues good practically
the whole season.
COWICHAN LAKE
Railway service from Duncan twice weekly. On'the days
when the train does not run, a stage runs, fare $2.
Shooting. Bear and deer, to say nothing of birds. One
of the best known guides on the Island is available, Ken
Gillespie, who charges $10.00 per day, and can make all
arrangements to shoot the celebrated Cowichan Rapids.
Indians are available with canoes, and the cost of shooting
these rapids, or going very nearly 20 miles by canoe, is $1 5.00.
Fishing. The fish in the lake are very similar to those at Shawnigan, but are considered to be slightly better. The fish average good size
and it is no exception to get them up to three pounds.
Page Nine
Hunting & Fishing
COWICHAN BAY
Reached either from Cowichan station, or from Duncan
by stage or motor car. Excellent bathing and boating, boats
being available for $2.00 a day up.
I Fishing. The fishing, which is practically all trolling, is
exceptional; and during the months of August, September and
October, the trolling for Cohoes is excellent. Fishing tackle
and men to row the boats can be obtained on application at
the hotel, usual rate per day for a man and boat being $7.50.
In the vicinity are some wonderful walks.
Shooting. IV There is very fine bear and deer shooting in the hills
behind the hotel, and although there are no regular guides, the hotel
management can usually procure one.
KOKSILAH RIVER
Three miles from Duncan, flowing into Cowichan Bay.
The fishing is similar to that of the Cowichan River, with the
exception that in the spring there is wonderful sea trout
fishing to be had.
NANAIMO
The Nanaimo Lakes, some twenty miles distant by motor
car (usual rate $10.00) has very good fishing in the spring and
the fall, although not in the summer except for trolling.
There is very good fishing in the Chemainus River, some
twenty-five miles south of Nanaimo, but there is poor accommodation at Chemainus itself.
PARKSVILLE
Noted for its bathing beach. There is very excellent deer
shooting, as well as bird shooting behind Parksville. There
are no guides available, but the hotel management will always
do their best to get parties reliable guides. Boats can be hired
at the hotel.
s! The Parksville Garage, operated by Rush ton Bros., makes a specialty
in running visitors out to Englishman's River and French Creek. Both
these gentlemen are enthusiastic fishermen, and will give people all the
information that is necessary.
QUALICUM BEACH
Shooting. Just at the back of the E. & N. line, and off
the Parksville road, is a very good stretch of country for deer
shooting. There are very few bear in this district, but a large
amount of small game.
Fishing. The Little Qualicum River "runs intolWhiskey Creek.
The fishing at this point, while good in spring, is very uncertain, but in the
fall salmon (cohoes) can be killed with a fly. There is a very good annex
in connection with the hotel, and also a store within an easy distance, and
accommodation can be obtained at the annex from $1.00 a day up.
COURTENAY
There is good fishing here in the Toslum or Courtenay
River, the upper reaches of which are very good for cougar
hunting. An old logging railway runs up to Wolf Lake,
which in the spring and fall is very good for bear shooting.
There is a very good trail, easy to go along.
Excellent sport, both fishing and hunting, can^be obtained at Wolf
Lake. Automobiles can be hired at the Courtenay garage, and there are
several_private cars for hire.
CAMPBELL RIVER
Campbell River is noted for two things—its salmon fishing
and its bear shooting. Campbell River can be reached from
Vancouver by steamer, or from Courtenay by motor boat or
automobile. Automobile route, 30 miles; rates for party of
four, $3.50 each; six or more, $3.00 each; one person $10.00.
(Rates not guaranteed by C.P.R.) Arrangements for the trip
in either direction should be made with C. Thulin, proprietor
of the Willows Hotel, Campbell River. Boats are for hire in
Page Ten
conjunction with the hotel, the rate of which is $3.00 a day.
The fishing and hunting in this district is exceptional. The fish are
very large and varied. From Campbell River it is possible to fish in
Quinsam River, and to get, by means of the International Logging Railway,
right into the Quinsam Lakes country 'an extremely beautiful piece of
hunting and fishing country. It is rather hard in places to get there, but
it is ideal for people who wish to rough it, as there are marked trails, and it
is not necessary to have guides.
Following the river along, in which the fishing is good nearly all the
time, Campbell Lake is reached. The fishing is very good here, and in the
spring excellent fishing can be had with a fly, the fish running very big
indeed.
There is a motor road which runs along to Forbes Landing, where there
is a small and comfortable hotel, where pack ponies can be obtained by
previous arrangement to go into Buttles Lake.
BUTTLES LAKE
Buttles Lake is practically in the centre of Vancouver
Island, and runs through Strathcona Park. Before arriving
at Buttles Lake, however, is the Upper Campbell Lake, and
where the Campbell River flows out of Buttles Lake the fishing is exceptional.
The bear hunting is very good, and there are lots of deer.
It is possible to take a wagon to within twelve miles of Buttles
Lake, when it is necessary to pack in. This can be done by
ponies, although it is somewhat slow going. Just at the head
of the lake there is a large and well-built cabin, erected by the Provincial
Government for the benefit of campers.
Buttles Lake has undoubtedly produced some of the biggest trout that
have ever been taken on the island. There are several places, and several
rivers and streams running into the lake, the chief of which are]Wolf Creek,
Felwood Creek, at the extreme southern end, Mirror Lake, and Glazier
Creek.
CAMERON LAKE
Tents and boats can be hired from the hotel. Excellent
bear and deer shooting, and very good fishing. Where the
little Qualicum flows out of the lake is a favorite spot for fly
fishing.
At the west end of the lake, where Cameron River flows
into the lake, the fishing is very good for about a mile, but
after that distance it is not good. From here Cameron Lake
is practically under the shadow of Mount Arrowsmith. This
mountain is within easy access of Cameron Lake, and a very enjoyable
trip can be made by going along the trail which runs from the west end of
the lake, around Mount Arrowsmith, into Alberni. This trail is still good
and arrangements can be made at the hotel for the hire of an outfit.
ALBERNI
Best centre for fishing, hunting and camping on the whole
Island, and it is extremely doubtful whether there is another
place in Canada to equal it. Bear, deer and cougar are all
easily obtainable.
SPROAT LAKE
At Sprout Lake, there is a fisherman and hunter's cabin,
operated by Miss Wark. Arrangements can be made to hire
tents, camping outfits, and boats. The rate for a complete
camping outfit, with a boat, is $15.00 a week.
The fishing is very good indeed, and there are innumerable
rivers and streams running into the lake, all of which contain
fish. The country surrounding this and Great Central Lake
abound with game. The chief are deer and bear, and Miss
Wark makes a specialty of arranging hunting parties, and
providing guides.
At the west end of Sproat Lake, there is the Taylor River, which is
undoubtedly a very fine hunting ground for black bear. The fishing is
exceptional. _
In the late fall, good duck shooting can be obtained. Grouse—blue and
willow—are very numerous indeed.
Sproat Lake is ten miles from Alberni, and the cost by motor car to
either Sproat or Great Central Lake is $5.00.

Itie^est Coast
THE West Coast of Vancouver Island can be
reached by Canadian Pacific steamers that
leave Victoria every ten days, making stops at
a number of small points as far as Port Alice, near
the northern end of the Island.
This trip is a very interesting one, introducing the
traveller to a wild and picturesque country somewhat
off the beaten track of visitors, to a rugged and
deeply-indented coast line, and to mountainous
and heavily-timbered slopes that drop sheer into the
water. The West Coast can indeed be called the
Canadian Norway. Little villages are found along
the fiord-like bays and inlets, devoted to fishing and
lumbering; Indian settlements, too, and interesting
Indian folk-lore and totem poles. This wild land is
the last unmodernized West on the continent—a country
without railways, automobiles, moving pictures, or electric
light; for all intents and purposes the same as it was a
hundred years ago.
THE first port of call after leaving Victoria is
Port Renfrew, at the head of the Port San
Juan Inlet and at the mouth of the San Juan
and Gordon Rivers. This is a busy salmon-canning
town with some extremely good sporting advantages
—trout and salmon fishing, bear and deer shooting,
and goose, duck and brant shooting. Clo-oose is a
small Indian village. Banfield, on Cape Beale, is an
Imperial Government cable station, the landing
point for the cable to Australia and New Zealand.
Uchucklesit has salmon and herring canning plants.
Swinging into the Alberni Canal, the largest
1' fiord'' of the West Coast, running inland some thirty
miles, we reach Port Alberni. There are really two
towns here, two miles apart—Alberni, the "old town,"
and Port Alberni, the "new town." In addition to
this steamer route, they can also be reached from
Victoria by rail by the branch of the E. & N. which
runs westward from Parksville Junction (see page 6.)
Port Alberni is the head quarters of the Barkley Sound
herring fleet, an important fish-packing centre, and a
thriving lumbering town, with one of the largest areas of
standing timber on Vancouver Island tributary to it.
From it can be reached very easily the Great Central Lake
and Sproat Lake.
RETRACING its way, the steamer strikes the
open ocean again and heads towards the northwest, calling at Sechart, Ucluelet, Tofino and
Clayoquot. Not the least interesting thing about
Page Twelve
these remote little settlements is the remarkable
way in which the coming of the steamer galvanizes
them into life. One moment the scene is deserted,
uninhabited; but the blast of the siren will bring
a whole flock of eager small craft into the bay,
apparently from nowhere. Clayoquot, on Vargas
Island, is one of the oldest and most important deep-
sea fishing harbors on the West Coast. It is a fine
spot for goose and brant shooting; and it also has in
Long Beach, reached down the Browning Passage,
a beautiful beach set amidst wonderful scenery.
Nootka, on a magnificent gull-haunted arm of the
sea known as Nootka Sound, is one of the oldest settled districts of the West Coast. Friendly Cove, as a
playful tourist remarked, is the home of tame Indians
and very wild totem poles. These curiously crested,
highly-coloured poles, standing along the main street
or over the graves of dead warriors, are almost as mysterious to the white man as the Druidical stones, but
to the coast Indian they are as important as the Social
Register. The pole tells the tale of the chieftain whom
it commemorates—his name, clan, social status and
mighty deeds—truly a family tree! Frequently, the
totem pole—often erected by the chief's successor in
office—would take from two to three years to make
and would cost the equivalent of from five to a thousand dollars. The Indians work in the Salmon and herring plant, which is one of the largest in British Columbia,
and also ply a busy trade with the visitors in brightly
coloured baskets and mats. It was at Friendly Cove that
Captain Vancouver took formal possession of the coast in
the name of Great Britain.
LEAVING Kyuquot, a whaling station, and
passing desolate Solander Island, a rock of
Gibraltar-like proportions that is the haunt
of gulls and sea-lions, we head almost due west,
round Cape Cook, and then turn north towards
Quatsino Sound, which, entering, we traverse to
the village of Quatsino, a very old white settlement, the inhabitants of which are engaged in mixed
farming, logging, fishing and trapping. A mile or so
away is situated the Indian settlement of the same
name. At Quatsino, we double back along the
Sheltered Southeast Arm to Port Alice, at the
extreme southern end of the inlet. Within the last
few years there has been created at Port Alice, where previously there was no sign of human life, a very busy town
revolving around the large pulp and paper mill that has
been established there. The product of this mill is marketed
principally in the Orient.
Industrial 'Translation
ALTHOUGH we are here considering Vancouver
Island primarily from the standpoint of the
holiday tourist, a word will not be amiss
regarding its industrial resources and potentialities.
The Island has enormous resources—mineral, forest, fishery,
and agricultural—which as yet are only partially developed..
Hn, It contains, for example, almost a quarter of the standing commercial timber of Canada. The most important
varieties are Douglas fir, red cedar, hemlock, balsam, spruce,
and yellow cedar or cypress. Important lumbering industries have been developed at many places, notably at
Chemainus, Duncan, Courtenay and Port Alberni; while at
Port Alice there is a large pulp and paper mill shipping
principally to the Orient.
THE mineral resources of Vancouver Island are
extremely rich, and include coal, iron, salt,
marble, sandstone, zinc and cement material.
The coal mines have been well developed, and at
Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Cassidy, South Wellington,
Nanaimo, and Cumberland are producing heavily.
The last two are the biggest producing regions,
Cumberland shipping over 75,000 tons a month.
Ladysmith has a smelter. Important deposits of iron
occur at several points along both the east and west coasts.
Abundant water-power is found in many parts of the
province; the largest developed is on the Puntledge River,
near Courtenay, with a capacity of 12,000 h.p.
VANCOUVER Island shares, too, in the great
volume of fishing enterprises conducted on the
Pacific Coast. Amongst the varieties of fish
caught are salmon, halibut, herring, cod, crabs, and
oysters. Several fish packing plants are located at
Port Alberni and down the Alberni Canal to the
outlet at Barclay Sound. There has also been
created a successful whaling industry, with stations at
Kyuquot and Rose Flarbor, on the west coast.

AGRICULTURE is in a flourishing state in the
southern end of the island, though elsewhere
it has to some extent been retarded by the
necessity of clearing the land
first. The climate of the Island is
such as to make agriculture somewhat
of an idyllic occupation, and to concentrate most attention upon the
raising of vegetables and small fruits.
From the Island come some of the
finest strawberries of this continent,
their production per acre being very
heavy. Dairying is also carried on to
a large and very successful extent,
as well as sheep breeding and chicken-
raising. In some parts of the Island
grain is being cultivated. Princess Patricia

Hunting
(Continued from Page 10)
GREAT CENTRAL LAKE
Great Central Lake is very similar to Sproat Lake, and
there is a very good sporting place, the Ark, run by Joe
Drinkwater, who is a well-known guide and hunter. He
has a limited amount of accommodation, his rates being $4.00
a day, and has also "small arks" with sleeping accommodation, stoves and everything a camper requires, which he will
move to any part of the lake. The cost of these is $1.00 per
day per head. Mr. Drinkwater will also supply food. At
the west end of Great Central Lake Mr. Drinkwater has five
excellent cabins, which he rents out on the same terms.
At the head of the lake is Drinkwater Creek, which runs into the lake
just opposite the cabins. This river has very excellent fishing, and has
probably been photographed more than any other river on the island.
It is possible to go from here along the bed of this river over the mountains,
and get into the south end of Buttles Lake. This is a very magnificent
piece of country, and, although somewhat hard going, is quite accessible.
The guides that can be obtained for this particular trip are Jack and Tom
Clark, who live in old Alberni, and whose rates per day are $7.50.
At Alberni itself, there are the Stamp and the Ash Rivers, which are
noted for their big fish. They are within easy walking distance. The
fishing is best in the spring and the fall, and the fish average two or three
pounds.
THE ALBERNI CANAL
The Alberni Canal is a sheet of water running inland some
thirty miles, and is particularly noted for its salmon trolling.
Boats and men can be obtained at the Somas Hotel for $6.00
a day. The best time for trolling is from March to October.
There are several small motor boats at Alberni which can be chartered on
application to either the garage or the hotel, and the usual rate is $15.00
a day including a man.
Amongst the good spots are Cous Creek, China Creek, and Nahmint
River and Lake.
PORT RENFREW
The fishing here is extremely good: trout, steelhead and
salmon can all be obtained in their respective seasons. There
is very good bear and deer shooting and exceptional goose,
duck and brant shooting.
Guides. Mr. B. Robinson has been a resident of this district for
many years, and knows the country thoroughly. He is thoroughly reliable,
and his charges are $10.00 per day, including tents.
CLAYOQUOT
Clayoquot, on the Vargas Island, is the best place on the
whole of Vancouver Island for goose and brant shooting.
There are three motor boats for hire from Mr. Dawley, who
operates the hotel. There are many small rivers and streams
in which fishing can be obtained, and the hunting is extremely
good.
THE NIMPKISH RIVER TRIP
This trip, which has only recently come into prominence,
is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent that can be made
on the Island. The visitor takes the Canadian Pacific boat
& Fishing
from Vancouver to Alert Bay, where Indians with small
motor boats and canoes can be obtained. He then goes
across to the mouth of the Nimpkish River, along the river
into the Nimpkish Lake. At the south end of the lake he goes
to the Nimpkish River again and poles as far as the canyon,
a distance of some thirty miles. All this country, although
wild and more or less unexplored, is fairly easy going. The
fishing is exceptional and steelheads up to 20 pounds can be
taken on a fly.
Mr. Haliday, the Indian Agent at Alert Bay, is always
willing to make arrangements to have Indians meet any
party. The Indians' rate of pay is $6.00 per day, including
their canoe. It is necessary to take camping outfits and food
from Vancouver.
Bear and deer are very numerous, and in the fall there are large numbers
of ducks. Cougar also can be obtained, but it is necessary to have dogs.
The scenery is magnificent, and very varied. The time required for this
trip is roughly speaking about eight or nine days, but arrangements can
be made with the Indians to take parties in and fetch them at a specified
date.
There are two very good guides available for this district. One is Mr.
Smith ("Cougar Smith,") and the other Mr. A. Bryan Williams (former
Chief Game Warden for the province) 1 170 Georgia Street West, Vancouver. Mr. Williams knows this district very well, and is prepared to take
parties in there, his charges being $10.00 a day.
TACKLE AND EQUIPMENT
Principal flies to use in Vancouver Island waters are the
Cowichan Coachman, Grizzly King, Professor, Silver Doctor,
Jock Scott, Dusty Miller, Montreal Grouse and Claret, Teal
and Yellow, Thunder and Lightning, and Heckhampeckum.
Fine tackle should be used in the majority of cases, and a
powerful rod. Of course, when trout fishing, it is not uncommon to get in a large steelhead or salmon.
The steelhead season runs from November 15 to March 15, the trout
season from March 15 to November 15, and there is no closed season for
salmon. Waders are necesary for shooting and fishing.
A 30-30 rifle will be found heavy enough for any game there is on the
Island, and a 12-gauge shot gun is all that is necessary. One should have
a pair of thick corduroy trousers and a heavy mackintosh coat when it is
necessary to go through the bush.
CLEARANCE FOR AUTOMOBILES
The clearance for automobiles plying between Vancouver,
Victoria, Seattle and Nanaimo is as follows:
Princess Louise 7 feet 10 inches
