Automobile Club of British Columbia, D. E. Mackenzie, President. PROVINCIAL DIRECTORS OF THE Automobile Club of British Columbia npHIS Club is purely a service organization, co-opera- ■■■ tive, non-political, non-sectarian and without social features; It is incorporated without capital stock and its entire assets are owned by the membership. Its management is vested in a directors board chosen from successful men of affairs and representing all sections of its territory. These officers and directors are elected by the membership and serve without compensation, often at a personal expense and certainly with a loss of time from their own business.

The more one sees of British Columbia the stronger is its fascination, the readier one is to enthuse, almost to rhapsodize, over its lavishness, its lush richness, its infinite charm and variety. Wonderful scenery, good sport, 20,000 miles of good roads, and. excellent accommodation combine to make a holiday in -British Columbia an experience to be anticipated with eagerness, realized with zest, and remembered for long afterwards with genuine pleasure. VANCOUVER ISLAND VANCOUVER ISLAND is the show-room of British Columbia. Scenically and industrially it is a complete compendium. Rivers, lakes, mountain-peaks, glaciers and snow-fields, forests, parks and ocean beaches—all are represented. Mixed and dairy farming, fruit growing, poultry raising and seed and bulb culture all thrive lustily in the southern portion. Logging and lumbering in all its phases is general, with mining on a large scale around Ladysmith, Nanaimo and Cumberland. Offshore are important commercial fisheries. The Island abounds in all sorts of game, furred, finned and feathered. The Island Highway is the main artery, but the more populous portion of the Island is well covered with scenic routes, along which are strung a series of pleasant little towns and villages, where accommodation is excellent. VICTORIA Victoria, the Capital City of British Columbia, is situated in Saanich Peninsula at the southern end of Vancouver Island. It is an all modern residential city of some 65,000 inhabitants and is often called a "little bit of England on the shores of the Pacific." It is reached by fast automobile ferry steamers from the mainland ports of Anacortes, Bellingham, Edmonds, Port Angeles, Seattle, Steveston and Vancouver city; the steamers from Anacortes and Steveston land their passengers at Sidney, 18 miles by paved road from Victoria. The trip from the mainland takesj from 2 to 4 hours according to the route followed. The Salt Spring Island ferry plies between Fulford Harbor and Swartz Bay at Sidney. Victoria is the main gateway to Vancouver Island, good auto roads radiating from the city west and north. The chief attractions in and near Victoria are the majestic Parliament Buildings containing museums and archives; Mr. Butchart's Sunken Gardens, "Sixteen Acres of Fairyland"; the Old World residential section with its innumerable private gardens large and small; the 65-mile Marine Drive; the Dominion Government Astrophysical Observatory housing the second largest telescope in the world; the Malahat Mountain Drive rising to 1250 feet above the sea; Mrs. Pendray's Gardens, containing remarkable specimens of topiary work and the quite exceptional views of snow capped mountains and island studded sea-scapes to be obtained from Beacon Hill Park and other points of vantage.

CAMERON LAKE, ALBERNI, PORT ALBERNI The West Coast of Vancouver Island Calls You If you want a real thrill, leave the Island Highway at Parksville, when driving north from Victoria or Nanaimo, or at Qualicum Beach when returning from the north, and turning west head for the West Coast. Passing beautiful Cameron Lake, nestling at the foot of Mt. Arrowsmith, the Beaufort Drive plunges into a stand of mighty timber which almost shuts out the sun, and after winding through this impressive aisle, climbs by easy grade over the summit of Beaufort Range and drops to the twin cities of Alberni and Port Alberni. From here the delights of fishing, golfing, hunting and hiking find endless scope, and every accommodation and facility for the tourist is to be found. The Big Interior tempts the more adventurous. For those who like a water trip, fast motor ships ply between the West Coast communities by way of the Alberni Canal, a natural inlet from the Pacific 24 miles long, and Barkley Sound. Ucluelet and Torino can be found at either end of famous Long Beach with its miles of clean, hard sand, some day to be connected with the highway system by road. Near the Albernis, Sproat Lake and numerous streams offer fishing, bathing, boating and all forms of outdoor sport and recreation. Alberni has fertile farms and unsurpassed gardens; Port Alberni has its big sawmills and fishing industries; every day offers new wonders and delights.

QUALICUM BEACH Continuing along the highway beyond Parksville the motorist comes to Qualicum Beach, admitted to be one of the finest spots in British Columbia, not only as a place to spend a holiday, but owing to its equable climate and low rainfall of 35 inches per annum, a delightful place to reside in ttnoughout the year. Qualicum Beach, situated on the East Coast of Vancouver Island, 108 miles from! Victoria and 3 hours from Vancouver City via Nanaimo, is one of the most popular holiday resorts on the Pacific Coast.

COURTENAY AND COMOX VALLEY North from Qualicum Beach the highway continues and passes by Qualicum Bay and Royston where excellent beaches are to be found as well as accommodation for the holiday maker. Four miles beyond Royston and 145 miles from Victoria the Comox Valley is reached—a community where argriculture, lumbering and coal mining are extensively followed. The centre of the community is the city of Courtenay, and a short distance from the main road on Comox Bay is the village of Comox, which offers many attractions for the holiday maker. Fishing, bathing, tennis and golf may be enjoyed here as well as excellent accommodation. One of the interesting sights in Courtenay is the Native Sons hall, built entirely of cedar and fir logs, Reached from Courtenay is a lately opened wonderland known as the "forbidden plateau," from the circumstance that the Indians tabooed approach to it. This area is about 20 miles west of Courtenay, adjoining Strathcona Park, and is portion of the park game reserve. It is reached through Bevan to which there is a good motor road, and thence by trail. On the plateau numerous trails have been blazed by the Alpine Club. Within the area are Mounts Albert Edward (6968 feet), Alexandra (6394 feet), Washington (5415 feet), and Beecher (4500 feet). The plateau is rolling land at a general elevation of 3800 to 4000 feet, covered with white and purple heather and small firs, and is readily traversed on horseback. Many lakes dot the plateau, including Lakes Beautiful, Moat, Circle, Panther, Goose, Harris and Divers; and Oyster, Cruikshank and Brown Rivers take their rise here. The glaciers in Strathcona Park appear but a stone's throw distant. This plateau is destined to become a very popular resort and is admirably adapted for winter sports, its convenience of access being as it is. Saddle horses may be had at Courtenay or Comox for trips to the Forbidden Plateau.

VANCOUVER Canada's Evergreen Playground VANCOUVER, British Columbia, is situated on the rugged coast line of the mid-Pacific Ocean, between the delta of the Fraser River and Burrard Inlet, a natural land-locked harbor, with a background of the forest-clad mountains of the Coast Range. It is Canada's Western Gateway, and third largest city in the Dominion. It is the northern terminus of the Pacific Highway, 1800 miles in length, Vancouver is also the western terminus of the Canadian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railway, northern terminus of the Great Northern Railway, and southern terminus of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. A city, only forty-two years old, Greater Vancouver now possesses a population of 305,000, a harbor land-locked and open the year round, with 55 berths for deep-sea ships, and a mecca for the tourist, because of its- natural scenic beauty. The city is one of the finest industrial manufacturing centres on the Pacific Coast. Vancouver has an ideal climate, experiencing neither extremes in summer or winter. The thermometer rarely rises above 75 degrees. A most enjoyable holiday can be spent in and around the city of Vancouver, where there is a great variety of places to go, of things to see and do. For instance, there is Stanley Park, a lovely sea-girt park on the margin of the magnificent harbor; Capilano Canyon with its famous suspension bridge thrown daringly across the deep ravine; Grouse Mountain.; and a remarkably fine Marine Drive. Then; there is the waterfront, dense with the shipping of the Seven Seas. In its facilities the city is completely metropolitan. For recreation there are splendid beaches and golf courses of established excellence. Scenically, it is most wonderfully attractive, in itself and in its setting. Apart from the city itself, in its immediate vicinity are a number of beautiful seaside resorts, all of which reward the visitor with delightful impressions of British Columbia's marvellous coastal scenery. Leaving Vancouver the tourist may take either the Grandview Highway or the Pacific Highway (Kingsway) through the Municipality of Burnaby which is a thickly populated urban district, to New Westminster. Steveston, which during the summer months forms the terminal of the Steveston-Sidney Ferry, may be reached either from Vancouver by way of Granville Street and Mar- pole, or from New Westminster along the north arm of the Fraser River. Ladner, which is the centre of the prosperous Delta District, is at the end of the Ladner Road and may be reached either from New Westminster along the Scott} and Ladner Roads or through! Marpole and crossing the south arm of the river at Woodward's Landing where a frequent ferry service exists. South from Ladner on a good road is Boundary Bay, a popular summer resort, and Point Roberts, a tiny tip of the peninsula which is in U. S. territory. f VANCOUVER i Automobile Club Headquarters—1166 Georgia St. West OFFICERS: Chairman Aid. W. H. LEMBKE Vice-Chairman E. G BAYNES Hon. Treasurer j. q. TODHTJNTER Secretary j.

It has the largest fresh water harbor in Western Canada, its waterfront becoming more and more a picture of modern port development. New Westminster is the place where "Steel Meets Keel," having direct terminal connections and facilities with all Canadian and American trans-continental railroads and the British Columbia Electric Railway. It is the shipping port to all world's markets and the assembly centre for British Columbia's agricultural, horticultural! and industrial products. All motorists on the Pacific Highway, the Inter-Provincial Highway and the Trans-Canada Highway pass through the city centre on their way north, south, east or west. There are many spots of historic interest and great beauty in and around the city, which is the third largest in the province. On the river banks on both sides are located large wood- products mills, terminal elevators, cold storage aad shipping plants as well as many large industrial and manufacturing establishments. On your way call at the Automobile Office ] for all information. Leaving New Westminster the motorist crosses the Fraser River and proceeds via the Pacific Highway (see map 11) to Clayton (Fry's Corner) where the road divides,'! a branch going through Cloverdale, the centre of Surrey Municipality, a prosperous agricultural district, and on to Blaine where the Canadian-United States border is passed into Washington. This forms the main route to and from \ the United States, although there are other ports of entry j along the Fraser Valley at Douglas, where the International I Peace Arch stands, Aldergrove and at Huntington. From the Pacific Highway, just north of Blaine, a road { turns west to White Rock, where there is an excellent beach and very popular camping and picnic grounds. Further on the same road one reaches Crescent Beach which also offers excellent accommodation and facilities for recreation.

The Cariboo Road was built originally by Her Majesty's Royal Engineers seventy years ago, when the discovery of gold brought its thousands to British Columbia from California, and even from far-off Australia. Recently this road has been modernized and brought into line with present-day traffic needs, but it is | still redolent of the colorful 'sixties. The miles are marked by picturesque old road-houses, and the route is dotted with quaint llittle old-world towns. Hope, Yale, Boston Bar, ' Lytton and Lillooet—all were athrob with tumultuous life when fortunes were being panned from the sand-bars of the Fraser.

OSOYOOS TO TRAIL A country of different character is found along the Trans-Provincial Highway from Osoyoos to Trail. While agriculture is practiced, mining is perhaps the chief activity. From Osoyoos the road follows the international boundary, passing Anarchist Mountain, Rock Creek, Greenwood, i Grand Forks, Rossland and Trail. This is an intensely interesting district, having one of the early mining developments of the province. Mining is still active here and large quantities of a variety of ores are produced. At Trail are located the very extensive smelting and refining works of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd. Minerals recovered here are gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, tin, cadmium, antimony and bismuth. The company's research laboratories are among the greatest in the world. A recent extension of activities is the production of commercial fertilizer, triple superphosphates. An excellent road exists between Trail and Nelson, passing by Bonnington Falls, where there is an extensive hydro-electric development. GREENWOOD OFFICIAL HOTEL PACIFIC HOTEL—Thirty-five rooms.

J / Motor Roads ROSSLAND to Kaslo NELSON NELSON is the chief city in West Kootenay and is picturesquely situated on the south shore of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. Through this arm the Kootenay River runs to join the Columbia a few miles below, after passing over Bonnington Falls, where is situated a power plant i which supplies light and power through a great stretch of \ country. The city stands at an elevation of 1770 feet and is an exceedingly attractive place. Its commercial and financial interests are extensive, serving, as it does, a very large area. Nelson is the administrative centre of West Kootenay, Government offices and court house being here. Mining was originally the main industry, but while it has grown there has also developed a large business in lumber- ling, and many thousands of acres are profitably devoted to dairying, fruit growing and berries. Running south, the Nelson-Spokane Highway connects with the chief city in eastern Washington, 168 miles distant, focus of many United States highways. A good road will be found from Nelson to Proctor and along Kootenay Lake to Kaslo. The motorist may continue from here through the interesting Slocan Mining country to New Denver and return to Nelson via Slocan Lake, where the road follows the lake shore most of the way.

The trip from Nelson to Yahk on the Trans-Provincial Highway has recently been simplified by the construction of a new road along the east side of Kootenay Lake. From Nelson the route follows the west arm of the lake to Fraser's Landing, slightly west of Balfour, where a ferry operates to Gray Creek. Following the east side of the lake for a distance of forty miles, a delightful country devoted to agriculture and fruit farming is traversed to Creston, the centre of another dairying, fruit farming and lumbering district. The road continues then on past Eastport and Kingsgate, ports of entry to the U. S., and the junction with the main road to Spokane, through Yahk and the old mining town of Moyie to Cranbrook. The Establishments listed here are recommended by The Automobile Club of British Columbia for your benefit.

CRANBROOK is picturesquely situated between the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Purcell Range of the Selkirks on the west and is a city of 3000 population. It is entirely modern and offers exceUent accommodation to the traveller. At present, lumbering is the chief industry, but mining and agriculture hold positions of considerable importance. A road running north gives access to the famous Sullivan mine at Kimberley. Six miles east of Cranbrook the road forks, one branch 'turning north trough the historic old town of Fort Steele and then on to the Windermere Valley and Banff National Park.

Beyond Clinton is Williams Lake, a real little cow-town. The Stampede held here in midsummer is a regular epitome of life on the open range, and gains steadily in importance and popularity with the waning elsewhere of that picturesque phase. Farther on is Quesnel, a pretty place, an old- timer gone modern, and from there a road branches off to Barkerville. At Quesnel, by the way, they show a really [wonderful Indian canoe, 51 feet long, and hewn from one giant cottonwood by the Indians of Takla Lake. Barkerville is unique. The curtain drops upon the present and raises on the past as the visitor gazes at the old Theatre I Royal and the Belle Union Dance Hall, and walks through the quiet streets once strident with life and the hot passions bred by the lust for gold. A delightful old town, an ana- chronism really, which one leaves with an odd reluctance. PRINCE GEORGE THE Prince George of today is brightly modern, but as a settlement it dates back to 1808, and behind its smart modernity is a stirring story of the days of the fur brigades If and the earlier pioneers. From there the route is through a series of towns and villages—Vanderhoof, Burns Lake and Smithers, to name a few—to Hazelton, "at the end I of the road." There the visitor finds himself in a country (rich in lore and legend, and tales of the long ago when tribe fought tribe with ruthless ferocity and extinction followed fast upon defeat. Nearby are Indian villages I gaudy with totems, and the whole area is intensely interesting to students of primitive life and custom and the . savage art of the aborigine. FORT ST. JAMES FORT ST. JAMES is a settlement and Indian village located on the shores of Stuart Lake, 43 miles by automobile from Vanderhoof. Stuart Lake is undoubtedly one of the beauty spots I of Northern British Columbia and is a veritable sportsman's 'paradise, Rainbow trout up to 35 lbs. being fairly common. * A memorable trip can be taken by canoe over 300 miles on the waters of the various lakes connected with Stuart Lake, broken by only two short portages. Throughout the Cariboo and Northern British Columbia all classes of big game are readily obtainable, while the lakes and streams provide a thrill for the fisherman. This [country has rightly been named "the Sportsman's Paradise." i&\ ^fe fBEAVERLEY ' ( \ ^WOODPECKER 47* £ ^ XAJgST RATH N \l®60 f^ x AVER mmA B LAC K WAT E R AUTOMOBILE ROAD QUESNEL PRINCET°GEORGE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IwK^t&T "J£5^,Sw? \ _ — Legend — uWaln Roads Secondary Roads Local Roads Miles from QUESNEL Miles from PRINCE GEOR © 6E 2 " (D 78fo) quesnel QUESNEL OFFICIAL HOTELS CARIBOO HOTEL—American plan, first class service.
