Its\nmagnificent scenery baffles description; the climate conditions are\nideal for recreation and enjoyment.

The wonderful changes in light and shadow, and the\nglories of sunrise and sunset in the Canadian Rockies, are things\nnever to be forgotten. Unfortunately, the average tourist is all too\nprone to stop over only between trains and thus catch but a hurried\nglance of these glorious peaks, which is regrettable, inasmuch as\nfrequently the greater beauty is missed entirely, though many\nthousands claim that travelling through these mountains without\nleaving the train has been the most enjoyable event and the greatest\nscenic treat of their lives.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 When travelling westward the Rockies are visible for some time\nbefore Calgary is reached; mightier and mightier they appear until\nPage Five THE CHALLENGE\nOF THE MOUNTAINS\nwgsffi$sras8\nMain Street, Banff, in the Canadian National Park\nThe Gap, wThich is the Eastern entrance to this mountain world, is\nreached.

Immovable the Three Sisters stand, beautiful in their purity,\npeaceful in their solitude, steadfast in their guard.

Many representatives from various other clubs frequently\nvisit Lake Louise and the other mountain resorts, where every\nopportunity is afforded to enjoy this invigorating and beneficial form\nof recreation. The Canadian Alpine Club traces its first impulse\nback through twenty-four years, as far as the day when Sir Sandford\nFleming, his son, and Principal Grant, of Queen's University, with\ntheir party and pack-train, came out from the difficult forest trail\nand camped on the meadow at Rogers' Pass. Inspired by the\nmountain prospect, they resolved themselves into an Alpine Club\nand drank to the club's success from the stream at their feet. The\nCanadian Alpine Club is fortunate in having Sir Sandford Fleming\nas its patron.

The strange magical\nbeauty of this region grows\nupon each visitor. Here seems\nto be left behind the hurry and\nunrest of the business world,\nand a strange content takes\npossession of one, and you\nrecall the cares that fretted a\nfew short days ago, and you\nsmile at your folly as you look\nupon the sublime heights that\nstand unmoved by time.\nThe Canadian Rockies appeal\nstrongest in the summer months,\nwhen in most American cities\nthe sun is beating mercilessly\ndown during the long torrid\ndays, then \"flee to the mountains\" for that refreshing balm to tired minds and jaded nerves,\nwhere the exhilarating air imbues all with new life and energy.\nThe Canadian Rockies are also unique for their abnormally\nhigh percentage of sunny days, their corresponding minimum of\nrain and the entire absence of foggy or misty weather and dew.\nFrom the 1st of June to the 1st of October there is practically no\nrain, except passing showers of short duration, preceded and succeeded by bright sunshine.\nNo greater contrast is it possible for mortals to enjoy than from\nthe city with its noisy, rushing tumult, and the smoky, dusty, hot\nstreets, prosy stores and dwellings, where man and mammon reign,\nto the Canadian Rockies, with their ampient air, blue skies, fleecy\nclouds, that oft obscure the giant peaks, emerald lakes and rushing streams of clear, pure water. The mountains, from time immemorial, have always been an inspiration to mankind to higher\nthoughts, where he is impressed with the magnitude of the works of\nNature and the insignificance of the works of man, and inspired to\nhigher ideals and loftier purposes in life. They speak not of the\nfrivolous, gay and fleeting, but of strength, majesty, power and\nDermanence.\nEverywhere in the mountains the visitor finds himself in\nstrange surroundings, and over all stand the majestic snow-tipped\npeaks, ever extending a challenge to the new-comer to scale the\ngranite barrier and view a new world, with its endless combinations\nPage Forty-one\nJ\n. iTHE CHALLENGE\nOF THE MOUNTAINS!\nof light and shade, parks and passes and\ngorges, always pervaded by a clear electric\natmosphere, which is a revelation to persons accustomed to living in the close,\ndamp ajr of the lower altitudes.\nTh^se mountain fastnesses will ever\nremain a game preserve for the grizzly,\ncinnamon and black bears, the mountain\nsheep (big horn), the mountain goat, the\npuma or mountain lion, the moose, elk,\ncaribou, and various species of smaller\ndeer, wolverine, and a great variety of\nsmaller fur-bearing animals and a vast\nnatural park, where man can find Nature\nas it passes from the great Creator,\nuntarnished by the hand of man. Succeeding generations of the children of\nmen will gaze upon these majestic mountains, whose peaks of eternal ice tower\nabove the clouds that would hide the sun;\nand will look with awe at the wild canyons\nand mountain torrents; and will behold with ecstasy the many\nscenes of Edenic beauty, too sacred to remain in the gaze of the\nmultitude, but \"sought out of all those who have pleasure therein.\"\nCamping in Canadian Rocky\nMountains\nSicamous Hotel, Sicamous Jet.\nCanadian Pacific Hotel System\nPage Forty-two ,.K!:;ie:;i j|:sj;.\n..\nS d .\n*\u00C2\u00AB. -- \u00E2\u0080\u009E\nREVELSTOKE is an important centre; from it\nthere is water communication with the rich\nKootenay and Boundary districts.

A steamboat line has been established from Nelson up Kootenay Lake to Lardo, whence an isolated\nbranch of railway runs thirty-two miles north to Gerrard, and a\nsteamer plies across Trout Lake to Trout Lake City, a matter of\nseventeen miles, so that every part of Southern British Columbia\nmay be visited. This is a charming country which is growing\neach season in popularity, attracting, by its many charms of lake\nand mountain, tourists who love the fertile stretches in the beautiful valleys with their nestling fruit farms and the presence of population and industry.\nNelson, the chief city in the Kootenay district, is situated at\nan altitude of 1,760 feet above the sea level and on the south shore\nof a splendid stretch of water. It is a charming city to visit and\nhas many attractions, including excellent rainbow trout fishing to\noffer to anglers.\nThe Kootenay District has not only singular beauty of its own,\nbut it is also attaining a splendid reputation as a fruit-growing section. Around Nelson is produced splendid apples, plums, cherries\nand small fruits in large quantities of delicious flavor. The climate\nis much milder than in the Canadian Rockies to the north, and the\nsoil is apparently ideal for fruit\nculture.\nMany tourists are now taking\nthe Kootenay trip as an alternative route to the Pacific Coast\nand thus seeing Canada's mountains under varying conditions,\nas the Kootenay has not the\nrugged grandeur of the Canadian\nRockies, but a different fascinating beauty of valley, lake and\nmountain that appeals because\nof its varied general attractiveness.

By this\nroute Seattle is reached and connections with the Shasta route for\nSan Francisco and all the Pacific States. The main line, however,\nkeeps on past Westminster Junction (where a branch line leads\nto Westminster), and arrives at the terminus of the Canadian Pacific\nRailway at Vancouver.\nVancouver, on the shores of Burrard Inlet, is the largest\ncity in British Columbia and has one of the finest harbors on\nthe Pacific. The many attractions of Vancouver and the splendid\nservice of the Canadian Pacific Railway Hotel Vancouver offer\nmany inducements to visit the numerous points of interest from\nhere.

Across the Inlet, close to the City\nof North Vancouver, are fishing streams, mountain trails, and\nsplendid roadways leading to scenic features of remarkable\nbeauty.\nVictoria itself is a city of lovely homes and the seat of the Provincial Government, its Parliament building being one of the handsomest edifices on the continent. This city is of singular beauty\nand has a population of over 30,000. The magnificent Empress\nHotel, the latest addition to the splendid Canadian Pacific Hotel\nSystem, overlooks the harbor, and for situation and appointments\nis acknowledged to be one of the finest hotels on the Pacific Coast.\nBeacon Hill Park, 300 acres in extent, is no less beautiful than\nStanley Park of Vancouver.
