Marie and Fort\nWilliam. There is also direct train service from Montreal to St. Paul and Minneapolis, via Sault Ste. Marie.\nFrom, or through Chicago, passengers make connection at the Union Station in St. Paul with the following\nexcellent through trains of the Soo-Canadian Pacific:\nSt. Paul-Seattle\nSt. Paul-Spokane-Portland\nSt. Paul-Winnipeg\nWhen stops are made in the mountains, the\nMontreal - Winnipeg - Vancouver\nToronto - Winnipeg - Vancouver\ntrains are also available. The hotels are so situated,\nand train schedules arranged, as to enable passengers to\ntravel through the entire mountain district in daylight.\nTHROUGH THE CANADIAN ROCKIES\nFOLLOWING a stretch of rolling wheat-bearing\nprairie land, the route winds for some distance\nthrough the foothills, before plunging into the\nfastnesses of the mighty Rockies. Then for\nover six hundred miles a continuous panorama of\nbewildering magnificence is presented, which no pen\ncan adequately describe. Wondrous glacial fields,\nstartling precipices, snow-capped peaks, wide forest\nareas, clear lakes, and peaceful valleys combine in\nenchanting array.\nThat \"there is not a dull or uninteresting moment\nall the way\" is the testimony of every one who has made\nthe journey.\nThe Canadian Rockies are the scenic climax of the\nmighty Rocky Mountains, called \"the backbone of\nAmerica.\" To the northward they gradually diminish\nin height until the Arctic Circle is reached. Southward\nthey lack that ruggedness and glacial beauty which\ngive them their attractiveness to the lovers of Alpine\nscenery.\nThe New York Tribune says: \"It is not generally\nknown that within four days' journey of New York City\nthere are waiting for the sightseer and scientific investigator some of the grandest and most impressive glacial\nstreams in the world. Nothing in Switzerland is to iHhI\nHOT SULPHUR SPRINGS SWIMMING POOL, BANFF\nbe found more beautiful than the glaciers of the Canadian\nRockies and Selkirks, and one of the chief attractions of\nthe trip is the fact that one may journey there and back\nin civilized luxury, and while enjoying the scenes, at the\nvery 'noses' of the wonderful glaciers themselves, may\nbe comfortable and remain in close touch with the\nworld.\"\nWhile even a hurried trip through the Rockies is an\nexperience never to be forgotten, a leisurely exploration\nof the region will reveal\nwonders undreamed of and\nscenes that surpass conception.\nBanff, the beautiful; Lake\nLouise, the wonderful; Field,\nthe majestic; and Glacier,\nthe mighty, are terms used\nby people who have remained\nsufficiently long to catch the\nfull inspiration of these\nmatchless resorts. Unique\nin their attractiveness, and\nalluring in their beauty,\nthey draw their devotees\nfrom all parts of the civilized\nworld. If time permits, the\npleasure afforded by a stay\nat any or all of the resorts\nmentioned should not be\nmissed.\nUFFALO AT BANFF\nBOW FALLS, BANFF\n4 ^ MmM\nLAKE LOUISE \" LAKES IN THE CLOUDS\nBANFF\nBanff, the gateway to the Canadian\nNational Park, is the chief objective point\nfor tourists, and without a peer as a holiday\nresort. The scenery in the vicinity is incomparably grand and diversified. Mountain peak\nsurmounts mountain peak; rock lies piled upon\nrock; rushing waters and lakes, like gems among\nthe roughness, give color to the scene. Charmingly situated on the south bank of the Bow\nRiver, near the mouth of the Spray, is Banff\nSprings Hotel of the Canadian Pacific Hotel\nSystem, which ranks among the finest found\nanywhere.\nLAKE LOUISE\nOf the beauty of Lake Louise there\nis no divided opinion; every visitor to its\nshores .sings its praises, and it is acknowledged\nby the most competent judges to be one of\nthe great masterpieces in Nature's picture\ngallery. As a gem of composition and coloring it has no rival. Green, blue and purple\nshadows, and red-brown cliffs mix and melt.\nAt every hour of the day\nthe view is ever changing with\nthe shadows.\nPicturesquely situated on\nthe very verge of the water\nis the Chateau Lake Louise,\nwhere comfortable accommodations and excellent service\nare afforded.\nSPIRAL TUNNELS\nBetween Hector, near the\nsummit of the Rockies, and\nField, one of the greatest\nengineering feats of the century has been accomplished.\nTo reduce the steep grade\nof the western slope of the\nRockies, the line has been\nlengthened, and two immense\nGIANT STEPS NEAR LAKE LOUISE\n6 V-..

C,\nspiral tunnels have been driven through the\nsolid rock, each tunnel with approaches making\na complete loop of track. These grade-reduction loops add greatly to the scenic effects to\nbe obtained from passing trains.\nFIELD\nSurrounded by majestic peaks and tremendous glaciers, beautiful lakes and mighty\nwaterfalls, Field is a veritable paradise for\nthe mountain climber, sportsman and artist.\nUnder the shadow of Mount Stephen is\nsituated the spacious and comfortable\nMount Stephen House, of the Canadian Pacific\nHotel System, a splendid base from which to\nmake numerous expeditions into the surrounding region.\n(See Side Trips from Field, page 21.)\nGLACIER\nNear the s(ummit of the Selkirk Range,\nlies Glacier in the midst of a region of mighty\npeaks and glaciers, woods and waterfalls. The\nCompany's hotel, Glacier House, is admir\nably situated and affords opportunity for a delightful\nsojourn to view the many wondrous works of Nature in the\nvicinity.\nFrom the hotel it is only\nan hour's walk to the Great\nGlacier of the Selkirks,\nlarger than all the Glaciers\nof Switzerland combined.\nGeneral Hamilton wrote\nin the guests' book at the\nhotel:\n\"My wife and I have\ntravelled for nearly forty\nyears all over the world,\nand are both agreed the scenery at Glacier House is the finest we have seen in Europe, Asia, Africa or\nAmerica.\"\nFrom Glacier, the route, descending the western\nslope of the Selkirks, follows the valley of the Illicil-\nlewaet through Albert Canyon, a marvelous gorge of\ngreat depth and startling fascination.\nRevelstoke is an\nimportant center,\nfrom which there\nis water communication with the\nrich Kootenay and\nBoundary districts.\nAt Sicamous Junction an excellent\nhotel is operated\nby the Canadian\nPacific Railway.\nA branch line\nhere makes connection with Lake\nOkanagan, a\nbeautiful sheet of\nwater on which\nplies the Cana-\ndian Pacific\nsteamer \"Aberdeen.\" The round\ntrip from Sicamous Junction to\nthe foot of the lake\noccupies two days,\nwhich will be\nmost enjoyably\nspent.\nThe Canyon\nof the Thompson\nis entered beyond\nAshcroft. Its\nangry waters rush\nalong in a perfect maelstrom\nand after the\njunction with the\nFraser at Lytton,\nthe scenery assumes an even wilder aspect. North Bend is situated\nin the heart of the Fraser Canyon, amid awe-inspiring\nsurroundings.\nAt Agassiz there is a fine Government experimental\nfruit farm,while five miles north is Harrison Lake, a beautiful sheet of water noted for its hot sulphur springs.\nBIG TREES IN STANLEY PARK\nFrom Mission Junction a branch line runs to the\nInternational Boundary, connecting at Sumas with the\nNorthern Pacific Railway. The St. Paul-Seattle\nthrough trains are operated over this route and connections are made at Seattle for Tacoma, Portland, San\nFrancisco, Los Angeles and other Pacific Coast points.\nForty-two miles\nbeyond Mission\nJunction is Vancouver, the western\nterminus of the\nCanadian Pacific\nRailway.\nVancouver\n(pop. 130,000) is\nbeautifully situated on the shores\nof Burrard Inlet.\nIt is a progressive, ambitious\ncity, the largest\nin British Columbia, with numerous attractions to\noffer the visitor,\nincluding Stanley\nPark, one of the\nmost beautiful\nparks in America,\nnoted for its luxuriant vegetation\nand \"big trees.\"\nHotel Vancouver, of the Canadian Pacific Hotel\nSystem, is conveniently located\nand has a high\nreputation for the\nexcellency of its\nservice.\nFrom Vancouver the Company's famous\n''Princess'*\nsteamers offer a\nsplendid service to Victoria, Seattle, Northern British\nColumbia and Alaska; the White Empresses cross\nthe Pacific to Japan and China, and the Canadian-\nAustralian Line runs regularly to Honolulu, Suva\n(Fiji), Australia and New Zealand, giving unequalled\nopportunities for varied and delightful water trips.\nVANCOUVER\n10 VIA THE KOOTENAY\nDiverging from the main line of the Canadian\nPacific at Dunmore, an attractive alternative route is\noffered to the Pacific Coast via the Crow's Nest Branch,\nthrough the great ranching districts of Southern Alberta\nand the vast mining regions of the Kootenay; thence by\nway of Nelson, the Columbia River, and Arrow Lakes\nto Revelstoke, where the main line is joined for continuance of trip, as already described. This rail and\nwater route, combining the fascinating beauty of valley,\nlake and mountain, appeals strongly to tourists because\nof its varied general attractiveness.\nTraveling one way via the Canadian Rockies, the\ntrip through the Kootenay in the reverse direction\nmakes a particularly attractive and enjoyable tour.\nST. PAUL-SPOKANE-PORTLAND\nTHROUGH SERVICE\nAnother route is by the Crow's Nest Line via Kings-\ngate and Spokane to Portland. At Kingsgate the\nInternational Boundary is crossed and the line then\nruns through a country remarkable for its scenic attractiveness and wonderfully rich both in mining and\nagriculture.\nSpokane, Wash., is the commercial metropolis of\nthe \"Inland Empire,\" and a good example of the progressive western city. It has many fine buildings,\nparks and pleasant driveways.\nContinuing from Spokane the route lies through a\nhighly productive wheat and grain country. Crossing\nfrom Washington into Oregon, the valley of the Colum-j\nbia is followed, and that majestic stream is seldom out)\nof sight of the railway for the remainder of the journey.\nPortland, appropriately designated as the \"Rose\nCity,\" is beautifully situated near the confluence of the\nWillamette and Columbia rivers, in the midst of a rich\nagricultural country. It is a thoroughly modern city\nwith well-kept streets, handsome business buildings\nand dwellings. The climate is pleasant and healthful.'\ni\nTO CALIFORNIA\nPassengers en route to California have the choice of\neither an overland trip or sea voyage from North Coast\npoints.\nFrom Portland to San Francisco the picturesque\nShasta route of the Southern Pacific or the San Francisco!\nand Portland Steamship Company may be used; from\nVictoria or Seattle, steamers of the Pacific Coast Steam-;\nship Company maintain a regular service to San Francisco.\nn S. S. PRINCESS CHARLOTTE \u00E2\u0080\u0094 BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST SERVICE\n\"PRINCESS\" STEAMERS BETWEEN\nVANCOUVER, VICTORIA\nAND SEATTLE\nThis short but very interesting boat trip on Puget\nSound, embracing three of the most flourishing cities of\nthe Pacific Coast region, should not be omitted from the\nitinerary of any tourist. If requested when purchasing,\nit will be included in through tickets without additional\ncharge. (See ticketing routes, page 29.)\nThe Company's famous three-funnel Princess Liners\noperating on this route are the fastest, most comfortable,\nand best equipped of any steamships in the Pacific\ncoastwise trade.\nThe voyage is made from Vancouver or Seattle to\nVictoria in four hours, at an average speed of eighteen\nknots per hour.\nVictoria, which has been aptly described as a\ntransplanted section of Old England, is charmingly\nsituated on Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits\nof Fuca. It is a beautiful residential city, with many\nmiles of magnificent roads, fine parks, and Government\nbuildings which rank among the handsomest in America.\nThe Empress Hotel of the Canadian Pacific Hotel\nSystem commands a fine view of the harbor and is in\nhigh favor with all tourists.\nSeattle, a city of 250,000 population, is delightfully\nsituated on the snores of Elliot Bay, an arm of Puget\nSound. It has many large manufacturing industries.\nThe residential section is attractively laid out on\nterraced hills and there is an extensive system of boulevards. The city is fortunate in the possession of a\nfresh-water lake, easy of access, on the shores of which\nbeautiful parks have been created.\nRound-Trip Tickets to the North Pacific Coast are available via either one of\nthe routes described, going and returning, or going one and returning another, or one\nway Canadian Pacific in connection with direct United States lines in the reverse\ndirection.\nAny of these routes may also be used via the North Pacific Coast to California, in\nconnection with direct routes returning from California, or vice versa.\n13 ^s\n>\u00C2\u00B00tfr4\n,\"3%:%a.
