The transpacific crossing from Sydney or Auckland to Victoria - Vancouver is made by the Canadian Australasian Line, intermediate stops being made at Suva and Honolulu. This service is performed by the quadruple- screw motor ship "Aorangi11 (18,000 gross tons) and the triple-screw steamship "Niagara" (13,500 gross tons), VIA CANADA Banff Springs Hotel and the Bow River Valley SAILING from Sydney every four weeks they reach: Auckland in 3^ days, staying in port about 24 hours; Suva, 8 days, staying 6 hours; Honolulu, 15 days, staying 6 to 8 hours, Victoria- Vancouver in 22 days. Across Canada the journey is made over the lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Rockies—the backbone of the continent—are first traversed by the quickest and most picturesque route. Beyond, there is a choice of itineraries to the Atlantic seaboard. Travellers whose business takes them to the United States can leave the main line of the Canadian Pacific at Moose Jaw, taking the "Soo" Line to Minneapolis and St. Paul with connections through to Chicago. From these points they may continue to New York or return to Canada to see the eastern Provinces. The Atlantic seaboard being reached, the trans-Atlantic journey is made by Canadian Pacific steamships. Frequent sailings are operated to British and Continental ports via the St. Lawrence Short Seaway {see page twenty-four). Accommodation to suit all requirements may be had on the "Empresses", "Duchesses" and "Mont" steamships of the great Canadian Pacific fleet. Travellers over the "All Red" Route have numerous stop-over privileges, details of which may be obtained from any Canadian Pacific agent. Imprimis Banff, Lake Louise and Emerald Lake should be visited. That the accommodation and service on this route are unexcelled goes without saying. The steamships of the Canadian Australasian Line are the finest operating between the Antipodes and the North Pacific coast; the Canadian Pacific, whose trains carry you across Canada and whose steamships speedy you across the Atlantic, is the World's Greatest Travel System. [page one] PRINTED IN CANADA—1934 CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Sydney, New South Wales—largest city of Australia SYDNEY Sydney is the natural port of departure on the "All Red" Route. The largest city in Australia, with a population over the million mark, it boasts the finest harbour in the world with a shore line of 165 miles. The serried panorama of the city front reveals towering spires and domes, palatial public edifices and handsome business buildings indicative of the city's industrial and commercial importance. AUCKLAND A 3j^-day trip from Sydney (1,281 miles distant) is Auckland—the largest city of New Zealand and one of the most beautifully situated in that favoured country. The city was founded in 1840, and for twenty-five years from that time was the capital of the Dominion until the more convenient location of Wellington brought about the change. The site was chosen in order to separate what were once the most numerous and warlike tribes of the Maoris: in consequence Auckland possesses a museum containing an unequalled collection of Maori relics. The Maoris, the native people of New Zealand, are Polynesians who, according to their own legends, discovered the islands more than thirteen centuries ago. In no way inferior to the white race mentally, they are physically one of the finest races in the world and, despite the fierce inter-tribal wars that raged in the early part of the nineteenth century, are now increasing in number. All year round the inhabitants of Auckland can live, if they so desire, in the open air for there is practically no change in temperature from one month to* another. Ships usually spend about twenty-four hours at Auckland enabling passengers to visit places of interest. Auckland—largest city of New Zealand [page two] TO THE OLD COUNTRY First Class Cabin—"Aorangi" Lounge—"Aorangi" Veranda Cafe—"Aorangi" [page three} CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Grand Pacific Hotel, Suva FIJI ISLANDS For three days after leaving Auckland, the ship sails northward through the transparent waters of the Pacific to the Fiji Islands. Six hours are spent here. There are 250 of these islands in all, eighty of which are inhabited, with a total population of 160,000. On the most important of these, Viti Levu, the capital, Suva, is located and into its magnificent harbour the liner steams. The Union Steam Ship Company maintains a beautiful hotel at Suva, the Grand Pacific. HONOLULU With the glamourous Hawaiian Islands ahead, the ship runs north-northeast and within a week is at Honolulu. Six to eight hours are usually spent here. Looking back on a visit to Honolulu is like looking on a series of beautiful pictures—pictures of flower-scented tropic nights, of moonlit swims in the rolling surf, of beach parties and dancing to the haunting music of guitars, of glorious "leis" or wreaths of flowers, of coral reefs and palm trees, of surf riding at Waikiki, and Hawaiian boys diving for coins; pictures, too, of the leave taking as the ship draws away for Victoria to the unforgettable strains of "Aloha"! SAN FRANCISCO ROUTE An alternative route from Australia and New Zealand is provided by the San Francisco service of the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand. Sailing from Sydney, the ships on this route call at Wellington, Rarotonga and Tahiti. From San Francisco the Southern Pacific and other lines have an excellent train service to Seattle and Vancouver. TO ALASKA A side trip from Victoria or Vancouver is that to Alaska—land of the midnight sun, the Klondyke, the trail of '98 and the fierce stampede to the north- land for gold. The 1,000 miles trip is made by Canadian Pacific Princess steamships. Waikiki Beach, Honolulu [page four] TO THE OLD COUNTRY ACROSS CANADA With the western gateways of Canada reached, the first stage of the journey is complete. The second may now be considered. To cross Canada the rail must traverse the canyons of the Thompson and the Fraser rivers. Majestic as this scenery is, it is but a prelude to the more memorable spectacle of the Rockies—that sea of almost seven hundred peaks over 6,000 feet above sea level. With the Rockies passed, a variety of routes will be available to the east. TRAIN SERVICE All year round the Canadian Pacific operates two passenger trains across Canada in both directions : the "Imperial" between Vancouver and Montreal and the "Dominion" between Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. For those who have occasion to travel via the United States, excellent service is provided by the "Soo-Dominion", which operates between Vancouver and Min- neapolis-St. Paul, with connections for Chicago and points east. Transcontinental trains operated by the Canadian Pacific carry modern all- steel equipment. During the summer months open Observation cars are Canadian Pacific "Princess" Steamship Kicking Horse Canyon © a s.n. operated through the mountains in addition to the regular lounge and observation cars. Other types of cars operated include Standard Sleeping Cars with Drawing Rooms and Compartments ; Compartment Cars; Dining Cars, etc. Valet service is also available. HOTELS Travellers stopping over en route will appreciate the comforts of the sixteen Canadian Pacific hotels, which form a chain from the Pacific to the Atlantic. These hotels are strategically situated in the most important resort and commercial centres of the Dominion, and their appointments and service are of the highest type. In addition to these hotels, nine chalet-bungalow camps are operated by the Canadian Pacific, six in the Rockies and three in Ontario. [page five ] CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Empress Hotel, Victoria VICTORIA Charmingly situated at the southern end of Vancouver Island, Victoria—the capital city of British Columbia—gives a bright welcome to the arriving traveller. Although its enterprising business district speaks of a rich commerce drawn from the forest, mineral and agricultural resources of the interior, Victoria is essentially a home city, with beautiful houses, bungalows, gardens, lawns, boulevards and parks. It has furthermore a distinct charm of its own that has made it a favorite residential and vacation city during both summer and winter alike. THE EMPRESS HOTEL The Empress Hotel, first of the chain of Canadian Pacific Hotels that you will find spanning Canada from coast to coast, is a beautiful structure matching the city, overlooking the Inner Harbor and facing the handsome Parliament Buildings. Adjoining the Empress Hotel an amusement casino, the Crystal Garden, contains one of the world's largest glass-enclosed salt-water swimming pools, with dancing floors and attractive promenades. Victoria has a great many interesting places to visit, such as Oak Bay, the beaches, the Observatory, Beacon Hill Park, and the beautiful Butchart gardens. Sight-seeing busses which leave the hotel during the summer months make it easy to visit some of these places in a short time. All kinds of summer sports are available at Victoria, including good fishing and year-round golf, the latter on six fine courses. Playing privileges are extended to visitors on these courses. The fishing and shooting on Vancouver Island are of the best—trout, salmon, pheasant, grouse, cougar, bear, deer and moose being the prises. Shawni- gan Lake, Cowichan Lake, Sproat Lake, Great Central Lake and Campbell River are famous fishing waters. Canada is a paradise for the sportsman after big A.S.N. game [page six] TO THE OLD COUNTRY VANCOUVER Vancouver, the largest city of British Columbia, is a short sail from Victoria across the picturesque Straits of Georgia. It is beautifully situated on Burrard Inlet, a long arm of the Pacific Ocean that forms an all-but-landlocked and fully sheltered harbour. Facing it across this harbour is the sharp profile of a magnificent mountain range. With its imposing business section, its busy docks, its fine shopping streets and its flower-garbed residential suburbs that have overflowed north across the Inlet and south towards the Fraser River, Vancouver is one of the great metropolitan centres of Canada. The Hotel Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific, is one of the finest hotels on the North Pacific Coast, very strikingly situated and with a high reputation for the excellence of its service. A SUMMER CITY Vancouver is a favourite summer city. Its mild climate, floral luxuriance and closeness to water make life there pleasant. There are many bathing beaches, parks, boulevards, golf courses, automobile roads, and short and long steamer trips on the surrounding waterways. Big Trees—Stanley Park, Vancouver Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver Stanley Park, a remarkable forest of almost primeval characteristics, is situated within the city limits. Across the Inlet is Capilano Canyon, a remarkable natural feature: and the Marine Drive introduces you to some very picturesque scenery. The volume of trans- Pacific export and import trade has made Vancouver a very important seaport, while the city has also immense lumbering, mining, agricultural, shipbuilding, and manufacturing interests. To and from Vancouver, Canadian Pacific Princess steamers provide a convenient service on Puget Sound, with a morning "triangle" service to Victoria and Seattle, and direct night services to each of those citiesfromVancouver. [page seven] CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE THE CANYONS A few miles out of Vancouver, the steel trail begins to twist and turn its way through a gigantic land of almost unbelievable magnificence. This canyon country—first of the Fraser River, and then of the Thompson River—is second in spectacular scenery only to the Rockies themselves, and the traveller is well repaid if he makes this journey by daylight. SICAMOUS At Sicamous, about equidistant between Vancouver and Calgary, a comfortable hotel is operated. It is especially convenient for those who wish to stop off to make the trips both through the great Fraser-Thompson canyons and the Rockies by daylight. Shuswap Lake, beside which the hotel stands, has good fishing. THE KETTLE VALLEY ROUTE This line, which leaves the main line at Hope, at the beginning of the canyons, is an alternative route of great beauty, through the picturesque mining, agricultural and lake districts of the Canadian- United States "Boundary" country. EMERALD LAKE Traversing the 5-mile Connaught Tunnel, the train descends the eastern slopes of the Selkirks to the Columbia River valley, and then begins to climb again to the summit of the Rockies. Soon it enters Yoho National Park, stopping at Field, a railway divisional point. Seven miles from Field station, through the hush of a pine-forest, brings one to Emerald Lake. On its wooded shore is Emerald Lake Chalet, a picturesque and cosy Canadian Pacific hotel, built of great squared timbers and surrounded by rustic bungalows. There is a wide variety of fine hikes, rides and climbs, and also some trout fishing. YOHO NATIONAL PARK Yoho National Park, to which Field is the gateway, offers some very attractive motoring, climbing and pony trips. Besides Emerald Lake Chalet, it has three favourite centres with chalet-bungalow camp accommodation. One of these centres is the celebrated Yoho Valley, reached by motor. Yoho valley Chalet - Bungalow Camp, facing Takakkaw Falls, is about half way up the valley. Another is Lake Wapta Chalet- Bungalow Camp, on the railway and Kicking Horse motor road; and south of the latter, reached only by trail through an almost primeval forest (8 miles), is Lake O'Hara Chalet-Bungalow Camp. Each of these chalet-bungalow camps is connected with other points in Yoho National Park by an excellent system of roads or trails and thus provide very attractive circle trips. THE GREAT DIVIDE From Field the line climbs, in about 14 miles, approximately a quarter-mile up the narrow Kicking Horse Pass. Nearby are the famous "Spiral Tunnels", constructed in an "8" shape through two mountains to cut the difficult grade in half. At the summit is the Great Divide —highest elevation of the Canadian Pacific— an interprovincial boundary, where waters divide, flowing either westward or eastward. 142-MILE MOTOR DETOUR Those travelling in a hurry, but wishing to see all the scenic "highlights" of this region, will find the splendid Motor Detour very convenient. It runs during the summer tourist season, from Golden to Banff and vice versa. Special arrangements are made for handling baggage and sleeping car reservations. While this 142-mile detour can be made in 24 hours, most people will prefer to spread it over two or three days, or even longer, stopover privileges being allowed en route. [page eight] TO THE OLD COUNTRY Hell Gate, Fraser River Canyon sw-sii?,- "The Dominion" at Glacier, B.C. [page nine] CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Swimming Pool, Chateau Lake Louise Moraine Lake, Valley of the Ten Peaks [page ten] TO THE OLD COUNTRY LAKE LOUISE Lake Louise—"the Pearl of the Rockies"—is probably the finest gem of scenery in the known world. Geographically a "cirque lake"—a deep, steep- walled recess caused by glacial erosion, nestling 600 feet above the railway on the far side of a mountain palisade amidst an amphitheatre of peaks—it is a dramatic palette on which the Great Artist has splashed His most gorgeous hues, a wonderful spectrum of colour. THE CHATEAU On the margin of this perfect lake, in a wonderful Alpine flower garden, where poppies, violets, columbines, anemones and sheep laurel slope through terraced lawns to the water's edge—the Canadian Pacific has placed its great Chateau Lake Louise, a fireproof, modern and luxurious hotel with accommodation for seven hundred guests. Across the front of the hotel extends a vast lounge that commands art unobstructed view of the Lake. The dining- room, in the right wing, has the same wonderful view. From the ballroom in the left wing the lake may be seen through the arches of the cloistered terrace. Thus the visitor may rest, dine and dance without losing sight of the beauty that attracted him hither. The Chateau has many attractions. It is an ideal centre for trail-riding, climbing and hiking. Fine hard tennis courts are attached to the hotel, and a boat-house supplies rowing boats and canoes to the many who cannot resist the magnetism of the clear, blue water. Overlooking the lake is an attractively terraced concrete swimming pool filled with heated glacial water, and with an instructor in attendance. There is no fairer spot than Lake Louise, and every visitor to Canada should visit it before departing. MORAINE LAKE Another gem of the Rockies is Moraine Lake, 9 miles from Lake Louise at the end of one of the finest short motor rides in the mountains. This lovely mountain lake lies in the Valley of the Ten Peaks—a tremendous and majestic semi-circle that with jagged profile encircles the eastern and southern end of the lake. Not one of these peaks is less than 10,000 feet in height—the highest, Mount Deltaform, is 11,225 feet. At the foot of the lake is Moraine Lake Chalet-Bungalow Camp. LAKES IN THE CLOUDS One of the easiest and prettiest trails to follow from the Chateau is that to the Lakes in the Clouds. The first reached is Mirror Lake into which a noisy cataract drops down a boulder-strewn cliff from Lake Agnes, the second of the Lakes in the Clouds. This lake, which is 1,200 feet above Lake Louise, is as quiet, though not so brilliantly coloured, as Mirror Lake. PLAIN OF SIX GLACIERS Besides the mighty tongue of the Victoria Glacier at the farther end of Lake Louise, many smaller glaciers descend into the cirque and on the right side of the cirque is the Plain of Six Glaciers. LAKE O'HARA From Victoria Glacier there is a fine climb over Abbot Pass between Mount Victoria and Mount Lefroy descending to Lake O'Hara. This is one of the loveliest of all the lakes in the Rockies, and on its margin is a Chalet-Bungalow Camp. Here you may stay before returning to Lake Louise and perhaps, if you have a few hours to spare, take the trail that leads to Lake McArthur whose blue waters lie at an altitude of 7,359 feet. [page eleven] Right—The high speed, quadruple-screw motor ship "Aorangi" of the Canadian Australasian Line.

Below—Map showing the "All-Red Route"—Trans- Pacific, Trans-Canada and Trans - Atlantic—between Australia, New Zealand and Europe. This route is served jointly by the Canadian Australasian Line and the Canadian Pacific. CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Sinclair Canyon—Banff-Windermere Road BANFF Forty-two miles east of Lake Louise is Banff, headquarters of Banff National Park and the summer social centre of the Canadian Rockies. Situated in a pocket of a wide circle of pearly grey limestone peaks, embowered in pine forests and lawns, with the glacial green Bow River flowing through it, it vies with any part of the Rockies because of its sublime and romantic natural beauty. This appeal is due not only to Banff's own environment but also to the world famous Banff Springs Hotel. This magnificent structure dominates Banff like a huge grey baronial castle. Its interior is char- comfort and beauty which have made its standards a criterion. Where time permits, no one should miss the opportunity of staying over at Banff. There are attractions as numerous as they are diversified. For the golfer there is a championship 18-hole course. Starting from within 300 feet of the hotel, it has a length of 6,640 yards and a par of 71. The caddies, incidentally, are Stoney Indians, Golf tournaments are held each year for H.R.H. the Prince of Wales Cup and the Trophy presented by Viscount Willingdon, former Governor-General of Canada, and Viceroy of India. For tennis there are four courts. Had Banff not become famous for its beauty, it must have become famous for its hot springs which are amongst the most important on this continent. The hotel has its own beautiful open air pool where one may swim in the warm sulphur waters. There is also an enclosed fresh-water pool adjoining. Around Banff there are delightful walks and rides. Hiking is popular; in fact, the Sky Line Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies sponsor a major hike each year. Riding is naturally an attraction at Banff—whether it be riding acterised by a spaciousness, Golf Course—Banff Springs Hotel [page fourteen] TO THE OLD COUNTRY along bridle paths on gaited horses or exploring spruce- scented mountain trails on sure-footed ponies. And trail riding is yearly becoming more popular. Under the auspices of the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies various rides are conducted. This association, which numbers some 1,500 members, aims principally at encouraging travel on horseback through the mountains, the preservation of old trails and the building of new. It is affiliated with a similar Order in Australia. Full information regarding rides and hi\es is available at the hotel. Mountain climbing is another feature at Banff. The Rockies have aptly been described as "fifty Switserlands in one" and noted climbers make their way thither from all parts of the world. "Indian Days" at Banff is one of the most colorful spectacles on the American continent. It is held in summer when between three and four hundred Stoney Indians from the Morley Reserve come for their tribal sports. In their pic- Climbing in the Rockies © a.s.n. turesque regalia the Indians perform a memorable pageant. In winter Banff is an important centre for winter sports, the Annual Winter Sports Carnival attracting large crowds. Ski-ing, tobogganing, skating; and bob-sledding are amongst the popular attractions. From Banff the long descent to the Prairies begins. Winding through narrow passes, eroded in the great grey bulk of the last ranges, the railway follows the ancient glacier-grooved Bow Valley. Presently the mountains smooth them- '\ selves out into rolling grassy foothills. Mount Assiniboine—the Matterhorn of the Rockies ACROSS THE PRAIRIES Calgary, headquarters of a large irrigation system developed by the Canadian Pacific, is also the scene each July of the famous "Stampede"—a week's carnival of cowboy sports and contests. The Canadian Pacific hotel here, the Palliser, adjoins the station [page fifteen] CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Hotel Palliser, Calgary and provides comfortable headquarters from which to visit this enterprising community. For a day after leaving Calgary the journey is across the prairies. On either side, stretching for hundreds of miles north and south, are seen the herds of live stock and enormous grain fields. Important cities on the main line are Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw, Regina (capital of Saskatchewan, with a fine Canadian Pacific hotel named after the province), Brandon and Winnipeg. Branch lines criss-cross the prairies. TO THE UNITED STATES At Moose Jaw the traveller whose destina tion is the United States will leave the main line and travel over the Soo Line to Minneapolis and St. Paul with connections for Chicago and points east. This is the route of the "Soo-Dominion" from Vancouver to Minneapolis-St. Paul, with connections through to Chicago. WINNIPEG Winnipeg, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, is the capital of Manitoba—a beautiful and prosperous city that is the metropolis of the prairie provinces, one of the greatest primary wheat markets of the world and an important industrial and railway centre. Through it every year flows the largest part of the huge western Canadian harvest on its way to world markets. Adjoining the station is the Canadian Pacific hotel, the Royal Alexandra. The prairies are left behind and are succeeded by a picturesque region of forests, lakes, rivers and ravines. Soon the western section of the great province of Ontario is entered near Lake of the Woods where flour mills, pulp mills and saw-mills are in operation. We are now in the vast hinterland lliia mmmmmm mmmm mmmmm ■ Uiuji 'VtllfM f [page sixteen] ''£"' '' ' ' • ^ &?■ \ City Hall, Winnipeg © A.S.N. N] TO THE OLD COUNTRY that fringes Lake Superior. That magnificent inland ocean is first seen at the twin cities of Port Arthur and Fort William whose many giant elevators bear vivid testimony to the western Canadian wheat crop that finds its eastbound outlet here. Three Chalet-Bungalow camps, similar in construction to those in the Rockies, are operated by the Canadian Pacific in Ontario. The first of these is Devil's Gap Camp in the Lake of the Woods region. The detraining point is Kenora on the Canadian Pacific main line, 126 miles east of Winnipeg. Golf, tennis, swimming, fishing, and all other aquatic sports are among the attractions. The camp is open in summer months and the rates are moderate. GREAT LAKES A very agreeable summer break in the trans-continental rail journey is the optional two days' sail by Canadian Pacific Steamships across the Great Lakes. Detraining at the Twin Cities, travellers sail across Lake Superior, through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie! The Locks, Sault Ste. Marie Royal York Hotel, Toronto then across Lake Huron to either Port McNicoll or Owen Sound, on Georgian Bay, whence Toronto is quickly reached by rail. Passengers, of course, who so desire may make the entire trans- Canada journey by rail. The second of the chalet - bungalow camps reached is Nipigon, near the mouth of the far-famed Nipigon River. Good fishing offers close by the camp and St. Ignace Island, where square tailed brook trout and lake trout literally abound. The camp has launches, canoes, camping equipment, fishing tackle and, a staff of competent Indian Guides. Tennis, swimming and dancing are also features of camp life at Nipigon. Then there is French [page seventeen] CANADIAN PACIFIC ROUTE Niagara Falls The Peace Tower, Ottawa Notre Dame Church, Montreal [page eighteen] TO THE OLD COUNTRY Montreal from Mount Royal River Chalet-Bungalow Camp, beloved of fishermen. The camp is on the Canadian Pacific 45 miles south of Sudbury. The fishing possibilities include fighting black bass, big savage "muskies," pickerel and great northern pike. There's golf, too, on a 9-hole, privately-owned course hewn out of the forest. There is an outlying camp at Pine Rapids reached by launch and canoe. TORONTO Toronto is the capital and chief city of the prosperous Province of Ontario, and is growing rapidly in population, wealth and industry. Beautifully situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, its inhabitants have an affectionate name for it in "The Queen City"—a fitting name when one considers the beauty of its tree-girt boulevards, its gracious residences and delightful parks. It is noted for its great fall Exhibition attended each year by approximately two million visitors. At Toronto is the magnificent, modern Canadian Pacific hotel, the Royal York—the largest hotel in the British Empire. Despite its spaciousness, the Royal York preserves that atmosphere of comfort and restful charm so characteristic of all Canadian Pacific Hotels. A fine golf course is operated by the Royal York Hotel Golf Club for the guests' convenience. NIAGARA FALLS If you would see the great cataract at Niagara, you may sail there or take the Canadian Pacific-Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway-Michigan Central Railroad route through the beauteous Niagara peninsula. And if you have the rare fortune to pass through its great reaches of orchards at blossom time a vista of overwhelming loveliness awaits you. The Falls! Mere words can never describe the majesty of that terrific sweep of water that thunders down from Lake Erie and roars along the Great Gorge. OTTAWA Capital of the Dominion of Canada, Ottawa is easily accessible by the main line direct from the Pacific Coast or via Toronto. Here an entirely different spectacle may attend you. The opening of the Federal Parliament is a glittering function, carried out with all the pomp and circumstance of Westminster on a smaller scale. Majestically enthroned upon a high bluff looking across the Ottawa River to the Laurentian Mountains, the stately Gothic buildings of the Houses of Parliament are a worthy setting for the Canadian Government. And out of them rises the beautiful Peace Tower, containing the world's largest carillon.

It is the centre of the city's social life. Other points of interest include the War Memorial Chapel, the Royal Mint, the Victoria Museum, the pulp and paper industries in Lower Town. Miles upon miles of beautiful driveways abound. MONTREAL Montreal, with a population of well over a million, is the largest city of Canada, and the second largest port of North America. Two-thirds of its inhabitants speak French as their mother tongue and all public notices are printed in both French and English. Indeed this Gallic element is largely responsible for the city's charm. From Mount Royal, after which the city was named, Montreal appears spread out like an immense monumental map. One may spend hours on the summit of this mountain gating on the splendid panorama of the city and the St. Lawrence River, which here is more than a mile wide. There are many sights to visit in Montreal—the magnificent Notre Dame Church, the interesting Notre Dame de Bonsecours, McGill University, Mount Royal, the old historic Chateau de Ramez;ay, beautiful parks, charming suburbs, the docks, the French section, and so on. The Canadian Pacific operates the charming Place Viger Hotel here. QUEBEC From Montreal it is less than five hours' ride over the Canadian Pacific Railway to Quebec, a quaint Old-World city which the fingers of modernism have touched but lightly. Capital' of the Province, Quebec is the seat of authority of French culture in the New World. On the Plains of Abraham outside the city walls Wolfe and Montcalm battled for mastery in this fair land. But the old enmity between French and British has been forgotten, and a pillar in the Governor's Garden on Dufferin Terrace jointly commemorates the two great warriors. Centre of the social life of the city is the Canadian Pacific's great hostelry, the Chateau Frontenac. Superbly placed overlooking the broad sweep of the St. Lawrence, the Chateau stands on the site of the old Chateau St. Louis, residence of the French governors. The Norman spirit has been preserved in this great hotel and its turreted roofs fit well into the Quebec picture.

These two great ports, situated respectively 970 and 832 miles from the open sea, are actually nearer than New York to Liverpool, Southampton, Cherbourg, Antwerp and Hamburg. The Canadian Pacific Atlantic fleet consists of sixteen large modern liners. First Class is provided by the "Empresses", the flagship of the fleet being the new sizie-speed-sPACE marvel, the Empress of Britain; her Canada- to-Europe dock-to-dock record is only 4 days, 15 hours, 35 minutes! The "Empresses" sail from Quebec to Cherbourg and Southampton and their passenger lists read like pages from an international "Who's Who". Cabin Class service is furnished by the regal "Duchesses"—the largest and fastest liners sailing from Montreal. 20,000 gross tons each, and constructed on the Clyde, they were designed to set new standards in Cabin Class travel. The other, lower-cost, Cabin liners—the "Mont" ships—are equally renowned for solid comfort, and with the "Duchesses" are the choice of many a celebrity. Canadian Pacific Cabin Class Steamships sail on regular schedule during the summer months between Montreal, Quebec and Liverpool, Belfast, Glasgow, Southampton, Cherbourg, Havre and other European ports. In summer all Canadian Pacific trans-Atlantic Steamships sail via the St. Lawrence Smooth Seaway to Europe. On these ships the traveller will meet with that high standard of courteous service which the world over characterises the Canadian Pacific. THE MARITIMES Saint John, N.B., and Halifax, N.S., are the winter ports of the Canadian Pacific trans-Atlantic fleet. From Montreal there are excellent Canadian Pacific rail services to Saint John, Halifax, Boston, and other cities and summer resorts in the Maritime Provinces and on the New England Coast. St. Andrews- by-the-Sea, N.B., is Canada's leading fashionable seashore and golfing resort.
