AGT. PAS8ENGEK DBP^« «09 So. Spring1 St., Los Angeles, C«JU MM Home from California BY THE Canadian Pacific Route HOSE who visit California in summer or spend their winters in that sunny land, should carefully note when purchasing their tickets that one portion reads via Canadian Pacific or Soo- Pacific lines through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The trip costs no more than by any other of the northern routes, and from start to finish is full of interest. It is a wonderful change from the land of palm to the land of pine, coupled with the grandest mountain scenery in the world. The connection between San Francisco and Vancouver or Victoria, B. C, is easily made via the picturesque Shasta Route. From San Francisco, the valley of the Sacramento, with its fine fruit farms, is followed as far as Reading, and the line then climbs the spurs of the Siskiyou Mountains. Above them towers Mount Shasta, which lifts its triple peak far above the clouds. Splendid views HHHHHTf of this mighty monarch are obtained from the train, and contrast well with the lovely scenery of the valley of the Rogue River, which is crossed soon after the State of Oregon has been reached. Salem^ the capital, is built on the Williamette River, and is most picturesquely situated, shut in on the west by a semicircle of. fir-covered hills, while it commands a fine, view of the Cascade Mountains on the east. At Portland a view of that beautiful "rose city" and the valley of the Columbia may be enjoyed. From Portland to Seattle passengers are in sight of mountain ranges on both sides of the track. Standing out prominently are Mount St. Helen, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. STREET SCENE IN SEATTLE. ft W I I tl; I I, ti I V, From Seattle passengers may go by rail to Mission Junction to join the Canadian Pacific Railway main line; many, however, will prefer the sail through Puget Sound by the justly celebrated Canadian Pacific Railway steamships to Victoria, B. C., and to Vancouver across the Gulf of Georgia, one of the most lovely stretches of sheltered water in the world. iPP Hk. 1F\ \ 4 —JL*"*~*Ts l •- £ 't ' ' ■■■ ' ft. y ; x. "PRINCESS CHARLOTTE/ SEATTLE, VICTORIA, VANCOUVER SERVICE. From Vancouver by the Canadian Pacific Railway transcontinental line travellers for Eastern Canada or the Eastern United States can, if they so please, go straight through to Montreal, Toronto or Niagara Falls, and from there proceed to their destinations. Passengers for the Middle West or for parts of the United States west of Detroit, will leave the Canadian Pacific Railway main line at Moose Jaw and travel via the Soo-Pacific to Minneapolis or St. Paul. This line crosses the International boundary at Portal, in North Dakota, and is most convenient for its quick connections between any of the great centres of the Western United States. From Moose Jaw the journey to Minneapolis or St. Paul takes about twenty-four hours, and to Chicago forty hours. Besides these main routes there are many possible variations, each with its own attractions and advantages. At Sicamous a side-trip to the Okanagan district may be enjoyed. At Revelstoke a divergence by Canadian Pacific Railway steamboat down Arrow Lakes to the Kootenay region, and thence by the Crowsnest Pass to,t the main line at Medicine Hat, would take the traveller through some of the richest mining centres of the world, the names of which—Trail, Rossland, Fernie, Lethbridge, have become household words. At Pincher Creek the ranching country is reached, and here is also much to observe in the immense system of irrigation which has been constructed. As the train runs through Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the traveller sees, without leaving his car, undoubted proofs of the marvellous fertility of the great Canadian West. ?! ,! The Pacific Coast ■irrwimrinii n m m< wiiiiiii nihiim tiniimui After leaving Winnipeg, the Chicago of Canada, and its splendid hotel, the Royal Alexandria, there is a further choice between an all- rail and a trip through the Great Lakes. At Fort William, at the head of Lake Superior, connection is made with the splendid steamships of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the tourist, if he EMPRESS HOTEL.

Varied as are these routes, equally varied are their points of interest. Victoria is the city of beautiful homes, and possesses a magnificent hotel, the Empress, which is one of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Hotel System. Vancouver, on the other hand, is a commercial city and the Pacific port of the Dominion, and the Canadian Pacific Hotel Vancouver will be found most comfortable. From here sail the Canadian Pacific Railway's Empress fleet for the Orient and the ships of the Canadian-Australian line for Australia and New Zealand, while this Company has also a line of British Columbia coast steamers running regularly to Skagway. Vancouver is one of the principal centres of the lumber and salmon-curing industries, for which British Columbia is famous the world over. my WIIbm Millllilt s«i CROWSNEST LAKE—ON LINE OP CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. -' For over 500 miles after leaving the Coast the Canadian Pacific Railway runs through the mountains, and the scenery in its sublimity surpasses all description. Above the track rise ranges 11,000 feet high, and the achievements of man are dwarfed into insignificance by the mighty works of Nature. In the valleys are deep rivers, and on the slopes are forests with trees in girth and height far greater than any that grow in eas tern parts. Above, again, the crags stand forth gaunt and bare, until they reach the snow line and receive a covering that year in, year out, clothes them with a glistening mantle. MOUNT STEPHEN HOUSE, FIELD, B. C THE GATEWAY TO Ti FAR-FAMED YOHO VALLEY. At Emerald Lake, seven miles from Field, the Canadian Pacific Railway has erected yet another chalet where visitors usually tarry on their way to the Yoho Valley. It is a convenient resting place and the lake has attractions of its own. As its name implies, its waters are deep green, and they are veined here and there with red from the earth carried down by the torrents that pour into it. It is closed in at one end by a great wall of rock, sheer and regular. Above GLACIER HOUSE, B. C, NEAR THE GREAT GLACIER OF THE SELKIRKS CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY HOTEL SYSTEM. Perhaps the grandest views, in a land where all is magnificent, inav be obtained at Glacier, Field, Lake Louise and Banff, where the Canadian Pacific Railway has made every arrangement for the convenience of passengers and stop-over privileges are granted. At Qlacier the Company has built an excellent hotel right under the shadow of Mount Sir Donald, as it towers for nearly 11,000 feet above sea level. Within forty-five minutes' easy walk of the hotel is one of the famous glaciers of the world, and the traveller can examine this wonderful phenomenon with the utmost comfort and safety. For this and other excursions Swiss guides are provided by the Canadian Pacific Railway here, at Field, and at Lake Louise reached from Laggan. At Field, too, there is another hotel owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway and named after Mount Stephen, that rises 10,450 feet close by. It is the portal to the Yoho Valley, one of the most beautiful mountain valleys in the world. ET, AMI! BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS. MOUNT BURGESS. - appear the peaks, clad everlastingly in snow, and in the cleft between two of them a magnificent glacier thrusts its tongue. At other parts thick woods rise from the very edge of the water, and the angler can build his camp, secure from all intruders, amid splendid straight- stemmed spruce. Emerald Lake is full of fine, gamey trout, and many a creel has been filled to the brim on its waters. LAKE LOUISE, NATURE S LOVELIEST HANDIWORK. A few miles east the Great Divide of the Canadian Rockies is crossed and a curious phenomenon is seen. A brook at the parting of the slope divides its stream to east and west. The eastern rivulet finds its way into the Bow River, and is carried on until it finally adds its quota to the icy tide of Hudson's Bay, while the western BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL, IN THE CANADIAN NATIONAL PARK CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY HOTEL SYSTEM. Wonderful Works of Nature branch runs into the Columbia River, and is by it taken with many wanderings, through the State of Washington, until it flows into the Pacific Ocean and meets waters heated by all the warmth of the equatorial sun. Laggan is next reached, near which are the Lakes in the Clouds, three tarns of peerless beauty, that preserve in all the wildness of the scene the most perfect peace and grace. At the largest of them, Lake Louise, the Canadian Pacific Railway has another hotel, beautifully situated in the midst of the spruce woods that grow to the water's edge. From its windows there is a splendid view of the lake and the great glaciers of Mount Victoria, framed, as it were, in the mountains all around it. From it, too, easy trails lead to Lake Agnes, Mirror Lake, the other two Lakes in the Clouds that lie like lovely jewels on the bosom of the crags. Within reach of pleasant excursions are also the Valley of the Ten Peaks and Paradise Valley, where some of the most characteristic beauties of the mountains are displayed by the imposing line of heights that dominate the former, and the deep cleft of the latter, over which Mount Temple broods. Days may be spent at Banff in the enjoyment of the marvellous views afforded by the valleys of the Bow and the Spray, and the Canadian Rocky Mountains National Park, for it includes scenery of the most varied character, in which every kind of mountain, deep-set lake, and foaming river combine to delight the eye and bring rest to the mind. A large hotel awaits visitors and excellent driving roads and bridle-paths give glimpses of the scenery from varied but always charming points of view. Moreover, there are ample facilities for boating on the Bow River and beautiful lakes within easy distance of the hotel. The temperature is delightful for outdoor life, for the cool, pure air of the mountains invigorates everybody, and when the inhabitants of Chicago, New York and Boston are suffering with the thermometer at ninety-five degrees, it is rarely more than seventy-five degrees at Banff. Beyond the mountains come the plains, and the Canadian Pacific Railway runs rapidly through the finest ranching district in the world and the great prairie grain-growing district, to which immigrants by the thousand are attracted, not only from Europe, but also from the United States. The greatness of the resources of Canada will be comprehended by a journey through Alberta, Sas- ROYAL ALEXANDRIA, WINNIPEG CANADIAN PACIFIC RY. HOTEL SYSTEM ■ katchewan and Manitoba, and it will be still more clearly brought home to the traveller by the sight of the Canadian "Pacific Railway elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur on Lake Superior. The great attractions of this route and the comfort with which the transcontinental journey may be made has led to a large increase in the numbers carried by the Canadian Pacific Railway. To meet this augmented demand the Company has enlarged its transcontinental train service considerably. There are two trains each day between Montreal and Vancouver. The train leaving Montreal at 10.10 a. m. is the Pacific Express, while the train leaving at 10.30 p. m. is the Imperial Limited, connections being made at Winnipeg by passengers from Toronto. Eastbound from Vancouver there are two trains daily the Imperial Limited and the Atlantic Express. For further information as to rates, etc., apply to the nearest Canadian Pacific Railway agent.
