This old city occupies the base and summit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who sailed into the river, spent the winter of 1535 at the base of the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established here a headquarters for trading. As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands, are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace. Lower Town is the commercial quarter and abounds in irregular narrow streets and quaint old house's. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is a delightful resort both in the summer and winter months. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi, and the headwaters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and other lines call here in summer, and local steamers depart for the lower St. Lawrence and the Saguenay rivers. I Additional trains leave Quebec for Montreal at 8.40 a.m. (week days only), 11.30 p.m. daily, Sunday included, arriving Montreal at 2.50 p.m. and 6.80 a.m. (5) Railway & steamship connections i \M2AYjjYE E& QUEBEO LINE Miles from Westbound STATIONS—Descriptive Notes East-1 bound Miles from Montr'1 Train Train Vanc'r LEAVE LEAVE 166 Lorette Are ancient set 3041 160 No Belair tlements, origin 3035 147 Stop Pont Rouge ally seigniories, 3022 143 St. Basile fronting upon 3018 138 2.46 Portneuf the St. Lawrence. 5.59 301# 134 Deschambault Powerful rivers 3009 131 No Lachevrotiere come down from 3006 128 Stop Grondines the hills at fre 3003 120 La Perade quent intervals, 5.25 2995 115 3.20 Batiscan giving water- 5.13 2990 108 Champlain power to almost P.M. 2983 98 Piles June every village. 2973, The fishing is excellent in all * of these streams, and one of them (the Jacques Cartier) is a noted i salmon river.

This is for the most parta perfectly level and close .cultivated plain, cut up into narrow fields that characterize French farming districts throughout the older parts of Quebec, and result from the continual sub-division of bequeathed estates. The compact villages are very prosperous and much resorted to in summer by city people. In each one the churches and "educational or charitable institutions of the Roman Catholic faith are the most' conspicuous buildings. Near Louise- ■ville (pop. 2,900), where Lake St. Peter is seen, are the St. Leon (Saline) Springs. Berthier and Lanoraie junctions are the stations for populous river-landings of the same names, reached by short branch lines.

A pretty and thriving town in the midst of most picturesque scenery and having one of the finest natural Parks in North America, within one half mile of the Railway Station. Good trout fishing is to be found in the neighbourhood. In the Stewiacke Mountains there are moose, and about Pembroke hunters can find caribou. In the spring and fall grouse are plentiful, and geese, brant, duck, curlew and snipe are common. From Truro a branch line runs to Pictou, from whence steamers depart to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. A second branch runs to New Glasgow and Mulgrave, on the Straits of Canso, where connection is made with steamers for Cape Breton^feland. The railway is extended through the Island to the Sydneys, which have become great industrial centres, and give promise of further future development. From them historic Louisburg is very easily reached by rail. A capital service has been inaugurated between North Sydney i.nd Port aux Basques, Newfoundland—the sea voyage only occupying six hours—there connecting witbtheReid-NewfoundlandCo. Railway, which traverses the centre of the island to St. John's on the eastern coast, and connects with the fine steamship service on the different bays and to the Labrador coast.

It is the centre of the Intercolonial Railway system, the head offices and workshops of which are located here. It has many important industries, prominent among which is a cotton factory. An interesting feature of the river is the "Bore" of the incoming tide, when the water rushes in with great force in a huge wave, often seven feet high. Salisbury The first part Petitcodiac f ^e journey from Moncton Sussex t0 0 John iie8 Hampton through an un attractive region, but between Petitcodiac and Sussex is a fine farming country, and many pretty views are obtained from the train. In the beautiful Kennebecasis Valley are some of the finest New Brunswick farms. A great many small lakes lie to the East and South, where large trout are abundant. In the immediate vicinity is a wealth of scenery, the rounding hills and abrupt heights forming pictures that cannot fail to please. St.John, N.B.—Population 55, OuO. This is the wonderful "new city" that rose from the ashes of the terrible conflagration which destroyed old St. John in June, 1877, devastating nine miles of streets and causing a loss of between twenty and thirty millions of dollars. The citizens were resolute and enterprising, and stately buildings soon filled the great gap left by the flames, and there is nothing now left to indicate the awful calamity. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—the winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the great harbor, an inspection of the fine wharves and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. The St. John river, "the Rhine of America," with its wonderful "reversible cataract," should be seen by every visitor ; also the fine suspension bridge and railway cantilever bridge near the falls. Near Rothesay on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by I Refreshment Stations. I P.M.

The scenery along this section of the line is considered to rank among the finest in Maine, Lake Onawa being, perhaps, as. pretty as any of the numerous waters. At Wilson Stream the road runs close to the base of Boarstone Mountain.

There are several hotels that offer excellent accommodation. Guides, canoes, etc., can be obtained on the spot. Moosehead Lake is about forty miles long by from one to fifteen wide, and its scenery is unsurpassed. From Greenville Junction steamers run to all the points of interest, including Mount Kineo and the popular hotel at its base, the Kineo House. Moosehead is a small station, also upon the lake shore. Near Askwith station the Kennebec river leaves Moosehead Lake. Trout Brook is, as its name indicates, close to a good fishing water. From Jackman the Moose river and its chain of lakes, where game and fish are abundant, are easily reached. Long Lake is a water of this chain.

At Megantic Station sportsmen can find fairly good accommodation, and secure guides for a shooting or fishing trip. From here, Levis (opposite Quebec) is reached by the Quebec Central Railway. At Lennoxville, distant three miles from Sherbrooke, connections are made with the Boston & Maine Railroad, running south to the summer resort of Newport, Vt., situated at the southern end of Lake Memphremagog, where it connects with the Montreal & Boston Air Line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Sherbrooke, the metropolis of the English- speaking district of the Eastern Townships, is an exceedingly pretty place, with a population of 15,000 and possessing many busy factories and business establishments that compare well with those of much larger cities. Here connection is again made with the Quebec Central to Levis, opposite Quebec. The rapid Magog and St. Francis rivers unite their currents here, and the falls of the Magog are well worth seeing.

The chief city and commercial capital of Canada is situated on an island form-' ed by the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, and on the site of the ancient Indian village of Hochelaga, visited by Jacques Cartier in 1535. A trading- post was established here by the French 250 years ago ; and this was the last place yielded byHhe French to the I English in 1760. For many years it was •. the chief centre of the fur trade. Atlantic steamships of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion, and other well-known lines run here. The St. Lawrence River and canals bring this way a large part of the trade of the Great Lakes. Numerous railway lines, j mostly controlled by the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies, radiate from here in all directions. Both these companies have their principal offices and workshops here, and both have great bridges over the St. Lawrence River. The city has a far-reaching trade, and great manufacturing establishments ; has fine wharves of masonry, vast warehouses and grain elevators; imposing "public buildings, handsome residences and superior hotels, one of the best of which is the Place Viger Hotel, which is combined with the C. P. R's East End Station, and is operated by the Company. The Canadian Pacific has two stations. From the Windsor Street Station trains leave for Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, St. John, N.B., Halifax, New York, Boston, Portland, Sault Ste. Marie, Duluth, Winnipeg, Vancouver, St. Paul and Minneapolis; and for Ottawa by the Short Line. From the Place Viger Station, trains run to Ottawa by the North Shore Line, to Quebec, Nomining in the Laurentian Mountains, and local points. I Refreshment Stations.

The Chaudiere Falls, which here interrupt the navigation of the Ottawa River afford water-power for a host of sawmills and other manufactories. Vast quantities of lumber are made here from logs floated down from the Ottawa River and its tributaries. The city, which like Quebec is divided into Upper and Lower Town, stands on high ground overlooking a wide valley, and contains many fine residences, large hotels, etc. The stately Government buildjngs, however, overshadow all. Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General,is two milesdistant. Many improvements have been made in Ottawa at the cost of the Federal Government, and it is now held to be worthy of the description of the most picturesque capital in the world. It is also well called " the Washington of the North.'' Most visitors, if unprejudiced, will agree that both titles are not inapt, for Ottawa possesses charms of situation and surroundings, which, coupled with the foresight which has characterized the laying out of the city, have made it one of which not only every citizen, but also every Canadian may well be proud.

An attractive point for tourists is Lake Timiskaming, and no more enjoyable canoeing can be imagined thanin exploration of these waters which abound in fish as the country does in game. To the south of the railway is Algonquin Park, established by the Ontario Government as a forest and game preserve. At Mattawa the line leaves the Ottawa and strikes across toward Lake Nipissing, through a somewhat wild and broken country, with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills continue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in many other places, follows the streams and the "breaks" in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Bonfield was originally intended as the eastern terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway to which connecting roads would run, but with the change of control from Government to Company the transcontinental line was extended to Montreal.

This railway has been materially a s- sisted in its traffic by some famous mineral discoveries made along the line of route, the chief being the silver mines at Cobalt. From North Bay to Heron Bay, on Lake Superior, the line traverses a comparatively wild region, where forests, meadows, lakes and rocky ridges alternate. The scenery is striking and in places extremely interesting. There are wide intervals of good agricultural land, and the settlements already extend for 100 miles beyond Lake Nipissing; but timber cutting is as yet the principal industry The lands belong to the Province of Ontario, and are open to settlers. The large, clear, rock- bound lakes are in places so numerous that, with their connecting arms, they form a labyrinth of waters covering great areas and offering matchless opportunities to sportsmen and canoeists. Bear, moose and deer abound throughout this region, and the fishing in the many lakes and rivers is capital. ^/Sturgeon Falls is a thriving village^! Leaving the station, the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. From Sudbury, (pop. 3,000) an important branch line, known as the "Soo" branch, leads off to Lake Huron, and thence along its shore and the Ste. Marie River to Sault Ste.

Within a few miles of Sudbury, and reached by two short branch lines of railway, are the most extensive copper and nickel deposits known in the world, and the vicinity has also, in the Moose Mountain Range, the largest-iron range in Canada. Large quantities of the ores have been shipped from the mines, and a number of smelting furnaces are in operation near Sudbury reducing the ores on the spot. Game is abundant in the neighbourhood. App reaching Phelan a good view of the high falls of the Vermilion River is to be had for a moment; and from here the scenery is particularly fine. Cartier is a divisional point, with the usual collection of sidings and railway structures.

No part of this wonderful scenery should be missed by the traveller, who should be on the lookout before reaching Peninsula. The great sweep around Jackfish Bay is particularly fine. Jackfish is the great coaling station for the railway on the northeast angle of Lake Superior, and near it gold and zinc mines are being profitably operated. Beyond 75if> Schreiber (a divisional point and refreshment station) a chain of islands .separates Nipigon Bay from Lake Superior, and the shore of the bay is followed to and beyond Nipigon station. From this point trips can be made to Nipigon Lake, the trout fishing on which, and the tributary streams, has been declared to be the finest in the world. The Ontario Government has recently, by Order in Council, set aside Lake Nipigon and the land for twenty miles around it as a Forest Reserve, thus retaining the sporting advantages of this wonderful region for the public for all time.

The fine steel lake steamships of the Canadian Pacific Line ply between here and Owen Sound (see page 90). At Fort William westbound passengers should set their watches back one hour, in conformity with "Central" standard time. From the beauty of situation, accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood Fort William and Port Arthur have become favorite resorts for tourists. A long promontory of basaltic rock on the opposite side of the bay, called the " Sleeping Giant," whose Indian legend takes one back to aboriginal days, terminates in Thunder Cape, behind which lies the once famous Silver Islet, which has yielded almost fabulous wealth, though now the mines becoming flooded have been abandoned. Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort WH Ham. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale (now becoming a popular summer resort) may be seen in the distance. Fort William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company.

Winnipeg commands the trade of the vast region to the north, east and west. The city is handsomely built, superior brick and stone being available, and has electric Btreet railways, electric lights, parks, hospital, great flouring mill, and grain elevators, a huge abattoir, and many notable public buildings, including Provincial and Dominion offices. The Royal Alexandra, owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Rail way, ranks amongst the finest hotels in the world.

After passing through a bushy district, with frequent ponds and small streams, containing many stock farms, for which it is peculiarly adapted, the railway rises from Austin along a sandy slope to a plateau, near the centre of which is situated Carberry (pop. 1,200), an important grain market. From Seweil it descends again to the valley of the Assiniboine. The Brandon Mills are seen towards the southwest. From Chater, the Miniota branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, running northwestward towards the Saskatchewan country, is operated to Miniota, a distance of 71 miles. Four miles beyond Chater the Assiniboine is crossed by an iron bridge and Brandon is soon reached. |Brandon—Alt. 1,194 ft. Pop. 12,500.

Crane Lake, where there is another farm, is the Company's headquarters. This farm, 1,200 acres of which are irrigated, is entirely devoted to stock raising, 7,000 cattle and 500 horses being usually on the range. The satisfactory results obtained from working farms at various points on the line proved the value of these lands for farming, and resulted in attracting the attention of settlers and capitalists to this section of the country. It is, however, specially valuable as a stock-raising district. It is impossible to conceive of a better stock country than that lying between the Cypress Hills and the Railway. Rich in the grasses that possess peculiar attractions for horses and cattle, the valleys and groves of timber give ample shelter all seasons of the year, and the numerous streams flowing out of-the Cypress Hi lis afford an unfailing supply of water.

At Namaka is located one of the most productive farms owned by the Canadian Land & Ranch Company. The Company has 1,600 acres under crop here and reap excellent harvests. From Gleichen to Shepard the line traverses the Western section of the Canadian Pacific Co.'s 3,000,000acre irrigation project and the canals and ditches are crossed at several points. The farms which will be cultivated by the method of irrigation . are seen on each side of the track, and at Gleichen and Strathmore the Experimental Irrigation Farms are located close to the line and the results from the application of water in growing crops and trees may be noted. Beyond Gleichen (alt. 2,9U0 ft.) the Rockies come into full view—a magnificent line of snowy peaks extending far along the southern and western horizon. At Langdon the railway falls to the valley of the Bow River, where there is another 10,000 acre farm of the Canadian Land & Ranch Company, devoted principally to cattle and horse raising. Calgary—Alt. 3,428 ft. Pop. 20,500. This is the most important, as well as the #24.35 handsomest, place between Winnipeg \ and Vancouver. It is charmingly situ- ated on a hill-girt plateau, overlooked by the white peaks of the Rockies. It ! is the centre of the trade of the northern part of the great ranching country and the chief source of supply for the ! mining districts in the mountains | beyond, and is rapidly developing into a large wholesale and milling centre. Excellent building materials abound in the vicinity. Lumber is largely made here "from logs floated down the Bow River. From Calgary, a branch line runs north to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and another branch south to Macleod, thus throwing open a new and vast country which is annually attracting settlers in large numbers. The climate is suitable for those affected with pulmonary troubles, and a sani- torium is established here. The Irrigation Canal of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company takes water from the Bow River at Calgary and the works of this undertaking, which are the largest in America, are well worth a visit.

Here the valleys are seen to cut the mountains transversely. Further on, in the main ranges, as distinct from the foot-hills, the valleys will be found running parallel with the mountains, north and south, and these valleys open into each other across the mountain ranges by the passes, or what is locally known as "divides," the lowest of which is 5,000 ft. above sea level, the highest 7,000 ft. Geologically the transverse valleys by which entrance is made to the mountains represent the grooved course of ancient glaciers, and many of the rivers flowing in these beds can be followed directly up to the remnants of these ancient glaciers. The remnant glacier of the Bow River to-day occupies a field thirty miles long by six to ten broad. Extensive ranches are passed in rapid succession—great herds of horses in the lower valleys, thousands of cattle on the terraces, and flocks of sheep on the hilltops may be seen at once, making a picture most novel and interesting. Saw-mills and coal-mines appear along the valley. After leaving Cochraue, and crossing the Bow, the line ascends to the top of the first terrace, whence a magnificent outlook is obtained, towards the left, where the foothills rise in successive tiers of sculptured heights to the snowy range behind them. Morley is interesting to the tourist as the reservation of the Stoney Indians, once the most warlike tribe of the native races of America, but now one of the most industrious and peaceful.

Here the difference between the ordinary upland stream and a glacier-fed river is first noticed. Tumbling from great heights, the former may be foamy and tumultuous; but the latter is always milky-green, with the sediment of glacial silt, infinitesimally fine particles formed by the grinding of the ice over the rocks. At Exshaw a large cement works is being operated. The mountains now rise abruptly in great masses, a bend in the line brings the train between two almost vertical walls of dizzy height. This is the gap by which the Rocky Mountains are entered. Through this gateway, the Bow River issues from the hills. Beyond it the track turns northward and ascends the long valley between the Fairholme range on the right and the Kananaskis range opposite. The prominent peak on the left is Pigeon Mountain, and in approaching the station called The Gap, a magnificent view is obtained of Wind Mountain and the Three Sisters also on the left. A remarkable contrast between the ranges ahead is noticeable. On the right are fantastically broken and castellated heights ; on the left, massive snow- laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie engulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed from the plains is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and Carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and miles in breadth, and thousands of feet thick, have been pushed straight up, so that their strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (always on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side- pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has disappeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can maintain a foothold: and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admirable features of the scenery.

Observation cars, specially designed to permit of unobstructed views, are attached to through trains whenever possible, so that none of the scenic wonders need be missed. Canmore—Alt. 4,284 feet.—Near Can- more are large coal mines. A striking profile of the Three Sisters, the third or furthest south, rising to an. altitude of 9,743 feet, is obtained, with Wind and Pigeon Mountains looming up beyond. On a hill behind the station, and all along the embankments of the valley traversed by the railway, are group after group of isolated and curiously weathered conglomerate monuments, called "hoodoos"—giant earthern pillars, ten times the .height of a man—some of them—composed of hard enough material to withstand the erosions that have played havoc with the surrounding bank. On either side of the beautiful level valley, the mountains rise in solid masses westward, until the great bulk of Cascade Mountain closes the view. Five miles beyond Canmore the Rocky Mountain National Park is entered. Bankhead—Alt. 4,490 ft. The pass narrows suddenly, and as the mountains are penetrated the scenery becomes grander and more awe-inspiring. The walled masonry, shooting up in Seven Peaks, on the left is Rundle, called after an early missionary to the Indians. Here the line for a time leaves the Bow and strikes up the valley of the Cascade River, directly toward the face of Cascade Mountain, which, though miles away, is apparently but a stone's throw distant, and which seems to rise in enormous mass and advance bodily to meet us ; this marvellous effect should not be missed by the traveller.

The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mountain (9,825 ft.); eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minne- wanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian ohief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of the track, rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Jakes, seen just after leaving the station. Dp the Bow, westward, tower the distant, snowy, central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau. A little nearer, at the left, is seen the northern end of the Bourgeau range, and still nearer, the razor-like back of Sulphur Mountain, along the side of which are the Hot Springs, and on whose summit, at 8,030 ft., an observatory has been established. The isolated bluff southward is Tunnel Mountain, while just behind the station, Rundle Peak, 9,665 ft., rises sharply, so near at hand as to cut off all the view in that direction. Just before reaching the station, the train passes along a large corral of 800 acres in which are a number of buffalo, the last specimens of the monarchs of the plains. Plans are now arranged by means of which a collection of bears will be placed in a corral in some central location in the Park. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel,built by the Railway Company,on an eminence between the foaming falls in the Bo wand the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from May to October, and thither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing.

There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep (the big-horn) and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains and markings of mammoth pre-his- toric creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel. The hot springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mountain, the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes. The more important springs have been improved by the Government, and picturesque bathing houses have been erected and placed under the care of attendants. In one locality is a pool inside a, dome-roofed cave, entered by an artificial tunnel; and adjacent, another spring forms an open basin of warm sulphurous water. Since the opening of the railway, these springs have been largely visited, and testimony to their wonderful curative properties is plentiful. Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several .unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by the Rev. James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. The way to it leads through beautiful valleys studded with transparent blue lakes and park-like prairie openings. Sawback—Alt. 4,537 ft. Upon leaving Banff the railway rejoins the Bow and follows it up through a forested valley. The view backward is very fine. The Vermilion lakes are skirted, and ahead an excellent view is had to the right of Mount Bourgeau and the snow-peaks far to the west, enclosing Simpson's Pass. Then a sharp turn discloses straight ahead the great heap of snowy ledges that form the eastern crest of Pilot Mountain, 9,680 ft., the landmark of mountain trappers, for it is seen and easily recognizable from both ends of the Bow Valley Hole- in-the-wall Mountain is passed upon f Flag Stations.

On the left, the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. At first, enchanting glimpses only are caught through the trees, as you look' ahead; but before Eldon is reached, the whole long array is in plain view. Turning to the left, and looking' back, the central peak of Pilot Mountain is seen, like a leaning pyramid high above the square-fronted ledges visible before. Next to it is the less lofty, but almost equally imposing, cone of Copper Mountain, squarely opposite the sombre precipices of the Castle. Westward of Copper Mountain, the gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow- fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain, 10,309 ft., and the snow dome of Mount Ball, 10,825 ft.

Looking upward to the right, north-west, towards Bow Lake and the huge rounded snow-capped peak of Mount Daly, a view, is obtained of the glacier It is a broad crescent-shaped river of ice, the further end concealed behind the lofty yellow cliffs that hem it in. It is 1,300 feet above you, and a dozen miles away. Further north are other glacial fields, one of which is the source of three great continental rivers flowing to the three different oceans, the Athabasca or Mackenzie River flowing to the Arctic, the Saskatchewan to the Atlantic, and the Columbia to the Pacific. The glacier presents some exceptionally interesting features, among others an enormous cavernous passageway, the size of a railway tunnel, running for miles back under the ice, cut out by subterranean rivers. This is also the region of Mounts Columbia, Bryce, Athabaska, Forbes, Robson and other peaks, the last named being the highest yet known in the Rockies, exceeding 13,000 ft. in altitude. Laggan is the station for the Lakes in the Clouds. Ponies and vehicles are in summer here in waiting for tourists intending to visit these picturesque lakes, which, perched on the mountains' sides amidst the most romantic environments, are rare gems whose loveliness and charm surpass all description. Lake Louise, 5,670 feet which is the first, is 2\ miles from the station by carriage drive over a splendid road which has just been constructed across the face of the mountain. On the margin of this beautiful lake there is a comfortable hotel, recently much enlarged, where excellent accommodation is provided.

Trails also lead across the stream draining Lake Louise to Fairview Mountain on the left side, to the Saddleback still farther eastward, from which one can look across an abyssmal gorge 2,000ft. deep to the avalanches of Mount Temple, the forested vale called Paradise Valley, the scarred battlements of Mount Sheol and the pinnacled heights of Castle Crags behind Fair- view Mountain. Other trails lead round to the right of Lake Louise directly on to the Glacier bed of Mount Victoria, the great palisade of snow 11,355 ft. high that shuts off all view to the south. This trail also connects with the route to Abbot Pass, a deep canyon between Victoria and Lefroy, 11,220 ft. A stiff climb over this pass and down to the rear of Lefroy and Victoria leads by a chain of beautiful mountain tarns to O'Hara Lake and Cataract Creek, which flows directly down to Wapta Lake on the main line at Hector Station. O'Hara Lake, recently opened to the publis by a well made pony trail from Hector, is a worthy rival of Lake Louise and presents features of wild Alpine grandeur in its surroundings that cannot be surpassed. It may be reachedf rom either Laggan or Field. The roadway eastward along the Bow River rounds to the rear of Mount Temple and descends to a beautiful vale called the Valley of the Ten Peaks, in the midst of which lies Moraine Lake, an emerald gem set in a glacier crescent; for the Ten Peaks engirt one side of the lake like a scimitar and between each pair of the peaks is fathomless snow, with the ribboned green of a glacier hanging down to the valley bed. In these waters the supply of trout is exhaustless. In the surrounding valleys big game — goat, big-horn and bear—abounds. Northward from Lake Louise are the Slate and Wapu- tehk ranges, and overtopping all, like the sky-line of a citadel, with white edging on every rock, ledge and crest hidden in the clouds, on the great buttressed mass called Mount Hector, after Sir James Hector, of the Palliser expedition in 1858, one of the first to explore the Rockies. A monument is here erected to his memory.

Here is the'' Great Divide," and a sparkling stream separates into two, the waters of one flowing to the Pacific, and those of the other to Hudson Bay. From here the line descends rapidly, passing the beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector, and crossing the deep gorge of the Kicking Horse River just beyond. The tumultuous cataract that comes racing down rocky ledges to the left to lose itself in the emerald waters of Wapta Lake is Cataract Creek. It flows down the rear slopes of Lefroy and Victoria behind Lake Louise. The trail nine miles up this creek leads to O'Hara Lake near the Wi waxy Peaks, and a few miles farther on to one of the most marvellous phenomena in the mountains, to what the Indians call the Lake of Ice (Lake Oesa), a congealed tarn of such lofty altitude that the ice melts for barely five weeks during the year. West of Wapta Lake the scenery is sublime, almost terrible. The line clings to the mountain-side at the left, and the valley on the right rapidly deepens until the river ' is seen as a gleaming thread five or six hundred feet below. Above is a serrated sky-line whose craggy margin hides the glaciers and the real summit of the range. Looking to the right, the Yoho, one of the grandest mountain valleys in the world, stretches away to the north, with great, white, glacier-bound peaks on either side. Looking forward to the right, the heights of Mount Field are seen. On the left the basilica-like spires of Cathedral Mountain loom against the sky, and just beyond is the duomo- like head of Mount Stephen. On its shoulder is seen a vast, shining, green glacier, the forepart of this monster, which hangs obliquely forward, measuring nearly a thousand feet in length and its lower outer edge showing a vertical depth of almost a hundred feet. Here, too, can be seen a silver-lead mine on the mountain side, 2,500 feet above its base. / Flag Stations. /19-00 A8.50 55 51 Sum of Rod mit the kies Sub seen lime ery Infr Mt.

Field—Alt. 4,064 ft. At Meld is a charming hotel managed by the railway company—the Mount Stephen House— not far from the base of Mount Stephen and facing Mount Field. This is a favorite stopping place for tourists, and has been recently enlarged to meet the wants of increased travel. Field combines all possible attractions for the mountain tourist. It is at the point by which is reached that great glacier field first seen northward from Laggan, and is only—as it were—a stone s tnrow from all the mysteries and wonders of an upper ice world. There is excellent flyfishing for trout in the lakelets and streams near the village. Two thousand five hundred feet up the right hand slope of Mount Stephen, along an easy Dridle-path, is a wonderful fossil bed, an area of 150 square yards, wfiere the mountain side has tumbled forward and disintegrated in a rock slide of shaly, shelving limestone slabs. These slabs, which cover a large area beyond the chief patch, for the most part consist of thin, laminated plates or layers. On a sharp knock the layers separate, revealing countless fossil specimens, fern-like and perfectly marked, principally trilobites and agnostus. The summit is only four or five thousand feetv above the fossil beds, and offers a splendid and exhilarating ascent to climbers with a steady head for narrow ledges. Looking down the valley from the hotel, Mount Dennis iB seen on the left, and the Van Home Range on the right. The two most prominent peaks of the latter are Mounts Deville and King, the former on the right. Fossil beds are also found in the Van Home Range. The Ottertail group with its sheer wall, snow caps and abrupt declivities giving unexpected views at every turn, is particularly attractive to the climber. A trail crossing the bridge of the Kicking Horse River, to the base of Mount Burgess, leads through a forest of spruce and balsam to a natural bridge of rock, under which the river pours in a cataract.

An excellent trail has been cut rodnd the end of the lake and up the gravelly saddle of rock to the right, where one passes through a forest into the very lap of the summits. A tarn lies in the centre of this upland meadow and the trail leads to its right-hand margin, into the gorge of the marvellous Takakkaw Falls. These wonderful falls are amongst the finest in the known world.- An enormous volume of seething, boiling water rushes over the precipice on the far side of the narrow gorge and shatters down the rock side in clouds of foam, a sheer drop of 1,200 feet. The Takakkaw Falls are one of the most striking views in the mountains and ought not to be missed by any tourist, especially as they can be reached by one day's ride from Field, and the great Yoho Canyon and Twin Falls can be reached in another day. The pony trail here passes directly below the ice fall of a series of fine glaciers which cover the east face of the Emerald Mountains. An inspection of the ice tongue of the Yoho Glacier and the cave from which its glacial torrent pours, should not be missed. Beyond, to the west, lie the Twin Falls of even greater interest than the Takakkaw, owing to a perpendicular drop of two vast columns of water and the dense clouds of steamlike spray caused by their concussion with the rock floor below.

These are the Beaverfoot Mountains, appearing to slope away from the railway. At the right Mount Hunter, a long, gradual slope, pushes its huge mass forward like a wedge between the Ottertail and Beaverfoot ranges.

The canyon rapidly deepens until, beyond Palliser, the mountain sides become vertical, rising straight up thousands of feet, in a bronze wall crested by a long line of unnamed peaks, and within an easy stone's throw from wall to wall. Down this vast chasm go the railway and the river together, the former crossing from side to side to ledges cut out of the solid rock, and twisting and turning in every direction, and every minute or two plunging through projecting angles of rock which seem to close the way.

Selk Irks Stony Creek Bri dge The snowsheds Mount Macd onald STATIONS—Descriptive Notes worked here on so gigantic a scale that many travellers fail to notice the extraordinary height of the spruce, Douglas fir and cedar trees, which seem to be engaged in a vain competition with tne mountains themselves. From Six Mile Creek station, one sees ahead, up the Beaver valley, a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in an exceedingly lofty pinnacle, named Sir Donald (10,808 ft.), which is seen more closely at Glacier House. Again, from Mountain Creek Bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward, the same view is obtained, nearer and larger, and eight peaks can be counted in a grand array, the last of which is Sir Donald, leading the line. A little further on, Cedar Creek is crossed, and not far west of it is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid cascades, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the • bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. As Bear Creek station is approached, a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Mount Tupper through a gap in the cliffs on the right. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, Whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. The line here leaves the Beaver and turns up Bear Creek along continuous grades of 116 feet to the mile. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. These are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dovetailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrific avalanche.

The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the western edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers a mile above the railway in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone' s-throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. In passing before the face of this gigantic precipice, the line clings to the base of Mount Tupper and," as the station at Rogers' Pass is neared, its clustered spires, resembling in one spot a line of heavily burdened camels now known as "the camels coming out of Egypt " appear, facing those of Mount Macdonald, and nearly as high. Apparently these two matchless mountains were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. . Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,309 ft. This pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of . huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, five or six thousand feet above the valley, half a dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining freen fissures are distinctly visible, n this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky. The tallest is Swiss Peak,so called in honour of the members of the Swiss Alpine Club who first stood upon its highest pinnacle. The sps; changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who -has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud.

On the crags of the Swiss Peaks a second cowled figure with his inseparable dog can be seen as if a companion of his brother on Mount Tupper; and looking out of the pass towards the west, and over the deep valley of the lllecillewaet, is Ross Peak, a massive cleft summit carrying an immense glacier on its eastern slope. Leaving the summit, and curving to the left, the line follows the slope of the Axial range, of which Sir' Donald is the chief. At the right is the deep valley of the lllecillewaet, which makes its way westward by a devious course among numberless hoary-headed mountain monarchs, winding in leaps, cascades, and falls betwixt forests of tropical luxuriance and clefts worn through ancient morainal heaps. Directly ahead is the lllecillewaet Glacier of the Selkirks. Passing a long snow- shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost) a sharp curve brings the train in front of the lllecillewaet Glacier, which is now very near, at the left—a vast cascade of gleaming ice falling 4,500 feet from the summit of the snow field in which it has its source—one glacier of a group of glaciers all together—the ice field, of which the lllecillewaet is one of a number of outlets, embracing an area of about ten square miles. al6.40,||Glacier House—Alt. 4,093 ft.

Farther to the left are sharp peaks — Uto, Eagle, Avalanche and Macdonald — second only to Sir Donald. Rogers' Pass and the snowy Hermit range, the most prominent peaks of which are called the ►Swiss Peaks, are in full view. Again to the left, at the west end of the Hermit range, on the south side of Bear Creek, comes Cheops, so named after the Great Pyramid, the tomb of the Pharaoh Shufu (Cheops) who lived about 3,700 B.C., and in the foreground, and far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens across the valley. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel, which is called Abbott. Between Ross and Abbott in the background is an enormous wall of snow. This is the Mount Bonney Glacier. To the right of Ross, between Ross and Cheops, a glimpse is caught of the CougarVal ley where are the wonderful caves of Nakimu(Indian for Grumbling Caves). This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the Alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are — Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall ; the Dome, a rounded rock: Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. To the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from "whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel serves not only as a dining station for passing trains, but affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who .wish to hunt, or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to accommodate. the increasing tourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged. Here in the heart of the Selkirks every comfort and luxury are found, and here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature.

Easy trails also lead to Marion Lake; on Mount Abbott, 3,617 ft. above Glacier House is Cascade summer house, where a look-out has been erected directly above the mountain torrent, seen tumbling down the green shoulder from Avalanche Peak ; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the ice flow of two main branches of the glacier meet; and to the summits of Mounts Avalanche and Abbott. Good routes have also been mapped by the guides up Eagle and Sir Donald ; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named from a large rock .figure exactly resembling an eagle which is perched upon the knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which a,re seldom found south of Canada. Bears can also be obtained. Continuing the descent from the Glacier House, and following around the mountain-side, the loop is soon reached, where the line makes several startling turns and twists, first crossing a valley leading down from the Mount Bonney glacier, touching for a moment on the base of Ross Peak, then doubling back to the right a mile or more upon itself to within a biscuit's-toss; then sweeping around to the right, touching Cougar Mount, on the other side of the lllecillewaet, crossing again to the left, and at last, shooting down the valley parallel with its former course. Looking back, the railway is seen cutting two long gashes, one above the other, on the mountain slope, and farther to the left, and high above the long snow- shed the summit range, near Rogers' Pass is yet visible, with Sir Donald overlooking all.

Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400 ft.), and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest Game is plentiful, and there is excellent boating and fishing. Nakusp is near the foot of the upper lake, on the moraine of an old glacier, where rail communication is made with Rosebery, on Slocan Lake (from which the Canadian Pacific Railway steamer Slocan runs to Slocan City at the southern extremity of the lake, where there is rail connection with the Lower Kootenay River) and with Sandon, in the very Centre of the rich Slocan silver mining regions. From West Robson, the Columbia & Kootenay Branch runs along the banks of the Lower Kootenay River, a magnificent fishing water, to Nelson, there connecting with the Procter Extension which runs to Procter. Another Canadian Pacific Railway steamboat plies between Procter and Kootenay Landing, making connections with the trains of the Crowsnest Pass route at the latter place, and other steamers run regularly to the' numerous gold, silver and copper mines on the Kootenay Lake affording opportunities for enjoying the magnificent lake and mountain scenery of this picturesque locality.

The highest point reached by the line in this pass is Summit Lake, 7 miles from, and only 400 feet above the Columbia. Four beautiful lakes—Summit,Victor,Three Valley and Griffin — occur in close succession, each occupying the entire width of the valley, and forcing the railway into the mountain sides.

There is a handsome hotel at Sicamous which affords comfortable headquarters for those visiting the locality. Sicamous Junction is the station for the mining and agricultural districts to the south, where there is large settlement. A branch railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan, at the head of Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Aberdeen plies to Kelowna and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the mining region to the south is reached. At Penticton a strong Land Company has purchased an extensive tract of land, which it is preparing to irrigate on an extensive scale. There is excellent hotel accommodation at Penticton for travellers to and from the Hedley and other mining camps. Vernon is a charming spot, and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all kinds that the temperate zone will produce. Further down'the lake are Peachland and Summerland, which are making considerable progress.

The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by the stately Mount St. Paul. The district around Kamloops provides grazing for considerable live stock, for the hills are covered with most nutritious "bunch-grass," and agriculture and fruit raising flourish wherever irrigation is practicable, but recently the country has developed into a promising mining region. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper. The town operates its own electric light and water plants. Tranquille Cherry Creek.—Just below Kamloops the Thompson widens out into Kamloops Lake, a broad, beautiful, hill- girt sheet of water, along the south shore of which the railway runs some .twenty miles.

Below this point the scenery becomes very striking and peculiar. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, where the beadlands are penetrated by tunnels, and the ravines spanned by lofty bridges: and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded cream-white slopes; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive-green grass slope, or some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins. The strange forms and gaudy hues of the rocks and scantily herbaged terraces impress themselves most strongly on the memory. Five miles beyond Drynoch, Nicomen, a little mining town is seen, and on the opposite bank of the river gold was first discovered in British Columbia in 1857. The mountains now draw together again, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. This is the Thompson Canyon. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description.

The railway now enters the canyon of the united rivers, and the scene becomes even wilder than before. Six miles below Lytton the train crosses the Fraser by a steel cantilever bridge, high above the water, plunges into a tunnel and shortly emerges at Cisco. The line now follows the right-hand side of the canyon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, built in the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Usually twisting and turning about the cliffs, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an angry turn of the waters. Six miles below Kanaka, where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks, to the face of a gigantic precipice. The canyon alternately widens and narrows. Indians are at times seen on projecting rocks down at the water's edge, spearing salmon or scooping them out with dip-nets, and in sunny spots the salmon are drying on poles.

It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul de -sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Across the river from Hope is the village of the same name—a mining town and trading- post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. Southwestward may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Below Hope is the bottomless Devil's Lake. The canyon widens out, and is soon succeeded by a broad, level valley with rich soil and heavy timber. The rude Indian farms give place to broad, well-cultivated fields, which become more and more frequent, and vegetation of all kinds rapidly increases in luxuriance as the Pacific is approached. Harrison Spri ngs Mount 10.28 f 10.44 Baker Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in Ruby Creek Agassiz the vicinity. At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government experimental farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harbison Speings (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodation, and the country about is most interesting. At Harrison Mills the Harrison River Harrison Mills is Just crossed ... above its con- Nicomen fluence with the Fraser, where steamer is taken for the Chilliwack District. Until the opening of the Fraser River route, in 1864, the only access to the northern interior of the province was by way of the Harrison valley. A few miles beyond Nicomen, Mount Baker comes into view on the left, fifty miles away —in the State of Washington—a beautiful isolated cone, rising 14,000 feet above the railway level. t Flag Stations.

Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Port Moody Port Moody, at Barnett the head of Bur- Hastings rard Inlet, was for a time the terminus of the railway. From here to Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of the inlet, and the outlook is most delight- 1 ful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees, twenty, thirty and even forty feet around.

From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been erected since that time. The city fronts on Burrard Inlet, and extends across a strip of land to English Bay, along the shore of which it is now reaching out. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, which has recently been, rebuilt, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, and cement sidewalks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. Its sewage system is second to none, while an ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, H. I., JSuva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and Puget ISound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon, Cape Nome and other northern gold fields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The Canadian Pacific Railway White Empress Line, whose steamships are the finest twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to the Orient. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is adapted to fruit growing. The railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at the mouth of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sigrht.

Steamers from and to Vancouver for Japan, China, the Hawaiian and Fijian Islands, and Australia stop at Victoria, many tourists taking the steamer at this port, and there are regular sailings for Alaskan points both for tourists visiting the wonderful fiords of the north coast, and those intending to explore the great gold-belt of the Yukon. Esquimalt Harbor, two miles from Victoria, was formerly the British naval station and rendez-vous on the North Pacific, with naval storehouses, workshops, graving docks, etc. A number of men-of-war are to be found there at all times, and immense fortifications have been constructed. During the past few years Victoria has come to the front as the most fashionable and delightful tourist resort in the Pacific North-West, on account of its matchless climate and wonderful scenery. Every year there is an increasing number of Eastern Canadians and American people who spend part of the summer here in order to escape the excessive heat, for the coolness of the lovely city is remarkable, the thermometer rarely registering higher than 80° on the hottest days. Local Steamship Service on the Pacific Coast An extensive steamship coast service is provided in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway. From Vancouver steamers ply dally to Victoria; to Nanaimo daily, except Sunday, on arrival of Transcontinental Trains.

This belt is not comparatively wide through the first hundred miles of its length out from the Twin Cities, but broadens as it turns northward, through a territory which is at once the beauty spot and the black bass preserve of the great Northwest. West of this region the country smooths down and sobers off into the famous prairies of the Red River Valley, every foot of which is capable of furnishing its quota of wheat, corn and other cultivated crops. East the land varies from prairie to pinery, but the Park Region itself is a territory with ' slightly rolling surface, where wood rimmed lakes are divided by wooded prairies and where prosperous farming has not harmed but heightened the charm of the scenery. At Glenwood the Winnipeg Line leaves the main line and strikes north towards the Canadian Boundary. Alexandria, the first important town reached, has seen years enough to remove from it many of the necessary marks of early rawness. In the city are well made streets shaded with symmetrical trees, lawns well kept, and a type of residences that tells of prosperous content after strenuous years. It is completely surrounded by lakes. Lakes Victoria and Geneva lie about a mile east of the town and extend five miles north and south. Between these is Geneva Beach where are situated among other summer hostelries, the Geneva Beach Hotel and its colony of pretty cottages. From Alexandria northward to the White Earth Reservation the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession of well- tilled farms, of beautiful groves of magnificent timber, and of picturesque sheets of sparkling spring water. The country is rich enough to support many busy business centres without having long distances intervene. Parker's Prairie is a rapidly growing town. Ottertail is located on the shores of Great Ottertail Lake and already has a population of several hundred.

M in'p'g Emerson to Winnipeg City is an old established town for this section of the country. It is famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes and having within a small radius a great number of. summer hotels and cottages. It is recogpized as one of the coming cities of the state. Northward from Detroit until the Canadian Boundary is reached, the country although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. For fishing and hunting the country just described stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black bass, although pike, pickerel, crappies and perch are plentiful. Throughout the country north of Detroit and through the Indian reservations, the lakes, of which there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful, prairie chicken are found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the boundary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500). the most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain a much more prominent position in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the South. Dominion City, the next stop, with a population of 400, is fifty-five miles from Winnipeg. The route to Winnipeg is up the fertile valley of the Red River of the North. On either side are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now mostly under the plough. Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and the country has an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlements were reached by following the current, firstly in voyageur s bateaux, and later in shallow-draft steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many years before the back country was opened, consequently some of these farms have been under cultivation for several generations. The best and most convenient connection between Winnipeg and the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, is afforded by the through Canadian Pacific-Soo Line Route, by way of Glenwood and Emerson.

The completion of this road is notable from an engineering standpoint for the celerity of construction and the skill shown in overcoming serious obstacles. The section between Dunmore and Lethbridge was completed in 1885, and was then a narrow gauge, but when taken over by the Canadian Pacific in 1897 was broadened to the standard gauge. The turning of the first sod of the extension from Lethbridge to Kootenay Landing took place on 18th July, 1897, and the last spike was driven on 7th October, 1898. During those fifteen months 289 miles were constructed, over two-thirds of which were through the mountains. To build a road through such a region so rapidly and with a maximum grade of 1 per cent, seems well nigh impossible ; but this was accomplished.

The town has a population of 3,500, and monster irrigation works have been constructed. These are gradually transforming what has hitherto been one of the vast cattle ranges of the west into a fertile region in which farmers are finding wonderful opportunities for obtaining homes. Leaving Lethbridge the road makes a detour to the south to find the most favorable crossing of the St. Mary's valley, which is one mile wide and 300 feet deep, with enormous cut banks on either side. By a series of trestles and Howe truss bridges the crossing is made, and the line runs through a broken country, which necessitated very heavy cute and fills • and numerous trestles.

As the mountains are approached the earth's surface becomes seamed with the numerous streams, small and large, which flow towards the Saskatchewan from their sources amidst the eternal snows of the Rockies. In all the streams trout of various kinds abound,from the small, speckle species to the 20-lb. bull trout.

Coal underlies a large portion of this region and is seen cropping out in many places,, at some of which mining operations are being carried on. The mountains seem to have suddenly grown nearer and rise abruptly in great masses on either side, forming an apparently impassable barrier.

Two-and-a-half miles east of JElko, the line crosses the Elk River, which continues on its southward course to join the Kootenay. About a mile below the crossing is the Elk River Canon which extends several miles, in which the water drops 600 feet in seething, foaming masses. The scenery is wild and the environments are grandly beautiful. Here the traveller gets a last glimpse of the projecting angles, lofty peaks, and frowning precipices, which, rising from their wood-encircled bases and lifting their ice-crowned heads far into the sky, extend northwards until . lost from sight in a dizzy, uncertain' mist. To the south is Tobacco Plains, a fertile country which is attracting settlement. Jafrray—Leaving Elko the line strikes northwestward through a series of gravel banks which terminate in an open, grass-covered country. Wardner—Alt. 2,434 ft. At Wardner the line crosses the Kootenay River, which is here some 780 feet wide and crossed by a magnificent H owe truss bridge with a 170 ft. swing span to allow of the passage of river steamers plying on the Kootenay. The Kootenay flows south into Idaho, and returning pours its flood into Kootenay Lake, in British Columbia, over 100 miles to the west. Leaving Wardner the line continues in a nOrth-westerly direction, following along the west banks of the Kootenay, running through growths of magnificent large shade trees and passing in and out through natural parks, while away in B the distance, grimly overlooking all is Sand Creek Range, the " Steeples," Mount Fisher, and Saunders Peak. Isidor Canon, a deep cleft in the earth, is skirted, and the grade begins gradually to drop. 12.Hl Fort Steele—Fort Steele, the centre of the Fort Steele Mining Division, and a prosperous mining town, lies seven miles north of the railway, and is reached by stage, from the station. al2.35J Cranbrook—A railway divisional point, H2.45| a. typical western railroad town, is charmingly situated in a hill-girt valley, surrounded by a dense forest growth, and overlooked by the white- / Flag Stations. 11.40 /18.05 17.43 East- ¥ile8 bound Tr"S.m, LEAVE A8.15 A7.05 16.36 144 138 128 115 105 16.06 15.40 015.30 m 93 83 82 CROWSNEST PASS ROUTE Miles from Dunm' < Juno.

Cranbrook (pop. 3,500) is the centre of trade for the mining interests in this locality, as well as for the rapidly growing ranching industries. Col. Baker has here a ranch of several thousand acres, and all kinds of farm products are raised. In the lateral valleys, which frequently occur, are also fine agricultural lands which are attracting settlers. Cranbrook has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well stocked stores, chartered banks, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumber manufacturing point in East Kootenay, having four saw-mills operating within its limits. The place is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in British Columbia. A branch line of railway connects the North Star Mines, Kimberly and Marysville with Cranbrook. As the line leaves Cranbrook it takes a southward course, running through an open park-like country, crossing pretty little streams and brooks at close intervals. At Palmers Bar Creek evidences can still be seen of the mining industries which were at one time carried on there so extensively, large quantities of free gold being abstracted. Loco /13.12I Swansea—At Swansea the train commences its winding course along the beautiful Moyie Lake. This magnificent sheet of water, ten miles long, lies between mountain ridges, and occupying the whole valley, forces the railway into the mountain side, in one instance disappearing through a tunnel 450 ft. in length.

Cur- zon is the Junction point fof Kings- gate, Spokane and Portland via the new International Route. Goatfell (Alt. 2,857 ft.)—And now the downward course towards the valley of Kootenay Lake is commenced, the railway following Kid Creek, on the northern slope of the range, until Kitchener Station is reached where the Goat River Valley is entered. Kitchener—Several miles beyond and about four miles east of Creston the line crosses the canon by a 150-ft. I span Howe truss bridge, 165 feet above the river bed. The Goat River compressed into a boiling flume, goes tumbling and foaming over the sharp jagged rocks nearly 200 feet below. When the river is in flood it is difficult to imagine a grander or more magnificent spectacle. Near Kitchener are great iron deposits which are being developed. McNeillie From Creston the line follows the southern Goat Mountain until the the Koote.ay River are These flats are a famous resort of wild geese, wavies and duck, and in the spring and fall of the year it is no uncommon sight to see flocks of thousands of these game birds feeding in the marshy places of the flats.

At the Landing the Company has constructed a slip for transferring to barges the immense quantities of freight which are from here distributed to the mines of the Slocan, Nelson, Rossland and other points. From Kootenay Landing the passenger takes steamer for Nelson and after a most delightful sail of 52 miles, the young, thriving, energetic city which, now boasting a population of 6,000, bids fair to become the inland metropolis of southern British Columbia, is reached. From Nelson (alt. 1,671 ft.) there is direct rail and water communication with all the mining regions of West Kootenay and the Boundary district. The Boundary section of the Canadian Pacific parallels the Kootenay River to its junction with the Columbia River, which is bridged at West Robson, continuing thence through the Boundary country to Cascade (alt. 1,468 ft.), Grand Forks (alt. 1,583 ft.), Greenwood (alt. 2,298 ft.) and Midway (alt. 1,770 ft.). This region is rich in mineral wealth, and smelters at Grand Forks and Greenwood testify to its rapid development. Another branch runs to Trail, the smelter centre, and to Rossland. Another Canadian Pacific Railway line branches off at Slocan Junction (13 miles from Nelson) to Slocan City on Slocan Lake, where steamers ply to New Denver and Rosebery, where the Nakusp-Slocan branch is taken for Sandon, the centre of the Slocan silver-lead mining district. Kaslo and other points on Kootenay Lake are also reached from Nelson by Canadian Pacific rail and steamer. From West Robson connection is made in summer with the main transcontinental line of the Canadian Pacific by steamers on the Arrow Lake to Nakusp and Arrowhead, whence there is rail communication with Revelstoke, the winter connection being via Slocan Junction and Rosebery to Nakusp, thence to Arrowhead as in summer. The steamers of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company on these inland waters are speedy, well-appointed, electric-lighted "craft, and the scenery is of that charming pic- turesqueness characteristic of the mountains of British Columbia. A trip steadily growing in favor is to cross the continent by the main line, returning by these lakes and the Crowsnest Pass—or vice versa—as it enables the traveller t6 see a large portion of the mountain country m different latitudes.

Sleeping, Dining and Parlor Cars, MONTREAL CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINES Atlantic Service. The traveller by the steamships of the Canadian Pacific Eailway Co.'s Atlantic Service—following the shortest ocean route between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal—will find the passage of the St. Lawrence River not the least attractive and interesting portion of his journey. During two days of the voyage he will be within sight of land on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and the other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the North Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout. The passenger accommodation is all amidships, where the motion of the vessels is least felt, and is equipped with every modern appliance conducing to the comfort of travellers.

ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE To Japan and China The Canadian Pacific Railway Oo.'s fast steamship service on the Pacific.- Ocean gives the shortest, safest and best route between Canada and the Orient,, and also forms an important link in the popular " Around the World " trip. By the White Empress Line of the Canadian Pacific, tourists can easily reach either Japan or China, and visit at leisure the many attractive and curious places to be found in those countries, and they can, if they 'wish, continue the journey to Australia or around the world. The route from Vancouver, B.C., to Yokohoma, Japan, Shanghai, China, and Hong Kong, is 300 miles shorter than any other transpacific route, and Vancouver is several hundred miles nearer to the Atlantic than any other Pacific port. The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller is.assured of safety, comfort and pleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," "Empress of China,"and "Empress of Japan," built under contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal Mails, are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are'uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 ft. in length, with 51 ft. breadth of beam, and are fitted with twin-screws. They are of 10,000 horse power, have triple expansion' engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being'added, and no expense spared in their luxurious fittings. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking Rooms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and surpass anything afloat. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity—in a word, modern marine architecture has in these palaces excelled itself. I The steamship "Monteagle" (5,500 tons), is a staunchly built ship, which, owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade, has been placed on regular schedule between Vandouver and Hong Kong, and classed 100 Al at. Lloyds. It has excellent accommodation for passengers, the staterooms being large, comfortable and perfectly ventilated. The dining saloons, cabins and smoking rooms are excellently equipped and are second only to those of the Canadian Pacific " Empress " steamships. This vessel is also lighted throughout by electricity and fitted with triple expansion engines.

Passengers for the "Monteagle" should embark at Vancouver. The " Monteagle," does not carry first cabin passengers. Steamers sail frequently from Hong Kong to Manila, Philippine Islands, and passengers by this line transfer at Hong Kong to Manila steamers. The usual stay at intermediate ports is: Yokohama, 24 hours; Kobe, 12 hours; Nagasaki, 10 hours ; Shanghai, 12 to 24 hours, according to tide. These periods may be reduced or increased, according to circumstances. Passengers should ascertain from Company's Agents at those ports the exact hours of departure. 94 ■HttliHMMHiifl This hue was established in 1893, and has become the favorite route between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H. I. and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Aorangi, Moana and Miowera are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpse of the dreamy native life of the Pacific is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed, by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the novelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that all can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles ol the Pacific.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings; which rank amongst the handsomest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, among them a large and well appointed opera . house. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses which do a very large outfitting trade with miners. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. A railway extends north-easterly 70 miles to the great coal mines at Nanaimo. Steamboats afford connections with Vancouver and with Puget Sound ports, and steamships depart about every five days for San Francisco, connecting there for Southern California, Mexico and South American west-coast ports. Steamers from and to Vancouver for Japan, China, Hawaii, Fiji, and Australia stop at Victoria for passengers, and there are regular sailings for Alaskan points both for tourists visiting the won- • derful fiords of the north coast, and those intending to explore the great gold-belt of the Yukon.

Vancouver—Pop. 26,196—the Pacific terminus of the railway. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense f oresf. From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been made since that time. The city fronts on Burrard Inlet, and extends across a strip of land to English Bay, along the shore of which it is now reaching out. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses, many hotels, the Vancouver being a splendid structure and handsomely appointed ; churches, schools, etc. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the inlet from a mountain stream opposite. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, N. S.W., via Honolulu, H.I., Suva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Klondike and other northern gold fields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The C. P. R. White Empress Line, whose steamships are the only twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Koner, making the quickest passage by from five to ten days across the North Pacific, depart every two or three weeks. At Hong Kong passengers make connection with steamers of the P.& O.

Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line sail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, andis especially adapted to fruit growing. The coal supply comesfromNanaimo,directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent—the Cascade Mountains near at handatthe north; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mt. Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capi- lano Canon, a remarkable mountain cleft, across the islet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance— mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the inlet; trout-fishing in the mountain streams ; and sea-fishingin endless variety. A stay of a week here will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep- set inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded^hores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above are gigantic trees, twenty, thirty and even forty feet around. At the eighth Hastings Port Moody mile the north arm of Burrard Inlet is seen extending at right angles to the railway about fifteen miles into the mountains which, black and sombre, descend about 5,000 feet sheer into the water which is almost fathomless in depth. Shortly after Port Moody, which for a time was the terminus of the railway, at the head of the inlet, the railway leaves salt water, and crossing over a low lying ridge descends into the valley of the Fraser.

The town is the headquarters of the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills—theproductof which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Peniten - tiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which- a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods aiid mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial fiats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,000 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock. Hammond Haney Whonnock Mission Junc From Mission Junc. a branch line crosses the Fraser River and runs to the international boundary line where rail connection is made with the Seattle & International Ry. for Seattle, Wash., thence via Northern Pacific Rd. to Tacoma, Portland, all Oregon and California points. This line gives through connection for all the prominent points on Puget Sound, and for Portland and San Francisco. (See Condensed Time Table.) Nicomen Harrison Near Harrison Station the Harrison River is crossed just above its confluence with the Fraser.

Che-am, is a Government experimental farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodations, and the country about is most interest- Ruby Creek ing. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Above Ruby Creek the valley begins to narrow, and the luxuriant vegetation which has extended from the Pacific Coast to this point, gradually changes to the more stunted and gnarled growth to be found on the mountain sides. Hope—Alt. 200 ft.—Across the river from Hope Station is the village of the same name — a mining town and trading-post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. South westward may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 200 ft.— Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul-de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. . Indian huts are seen on the.opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen,,who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a long way below and far above the town. Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succession of tunnels, enters the canon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses the railway many times in the next 12 miles, till we reach Spuzzum where it passes to the opposite Spuzzum ide of the river >y a most pic turesque suspension bridge, thence Leave Harr Spri Leave 9.45 2835 ison ngs Hope f 9.25 2824 9.07 2816 Peak 8.40 2803 Begin the o Entra theF ca ning of mons -< =r nee to raser non ao', 2792 f Flag Stations.

The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as "matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rocks where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level; and those who pass through the canon in the month of August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals and the old wagon road all of which have been abandoned for the railway. I North Bend—Alt. 425 ft.—A charming chalet hotel makes North Bend (a divisional point) a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance from the hotel, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, -built in the early 60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Usually twisting and turning about the cliffs, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an angry turn of the waters. Three miles above Keefers, where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice.

Kanaka—Near here the railway passes through a tunnel directly on to a cantilever bridge and crosses to the east side of the Fraser River, which it follows for Lytton about six miles t o 2Dytton, a small trading town. Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and enters the canon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then through breaks in the high escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Lytton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, and on the opposite bank of the river gold was first discovered in British Columbia in 1857. Gladwin Thompson Drynoch— Alt. 700 ft Above this point the scenery be- comes very striking and peculiar. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, the ravines spanned by lofty bridges, and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded, cream-white slopes; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive green grass slope or some white exposure. With this fantastic color, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by f Flaff Stations.

Spence's Bridge—At Spence's Bridge the old wagon road up this valley to the Cariboo gold country crosses the river ; and the railway crosses here the month of the Nicola River, whose valley southward is an important grazing and ranching region. Two miles beyond Basque the hills press close upon the River, which cuts its way winding gorge of almost gloom and desolation, fitly named the Black Canon. Emerging, the train follows the river as it meanders swiftly among the round-topped, treeless and water-cut hills. Ashcro J t has developed in to a busy '■&!"' town, being the point of depart- iriboo, and other gold fields in the northern interior of British Columbia. Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four tp ten yoke of oxen, and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrive here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley soon begins to widen out, and passing Pennys, an old and established cattle ranch, the line soon reaches Savonas at the foot of Kamloops Lake.

The north fork of the Thompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and here joins the main river. It is a beautiful spot, whose dry invigorating climate pre-eminently makes it a desirable resort for sufferers from pulmonary troubles. The broad valleys intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hills, and fine groves line both banks of the streams. Steamboats are on the river, and sawmills briskly at work. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by St. Paul's Mountain. The principal industry around Kamloops is grazing, since the hills are covered with most nutritious "bunch-grass," and agriculture and fruit raising flourish wherever irrigation is practicable, but recently the country has developed into a promising mining region. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in theNicola valleys, reached oy stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper. Thence the Ducks railway fol lows up the valley of the South Thompson River and the eye is gladdened by the sight, of grass, fenced fields, growing crops, hay stacks, and good farm houses on the level surface, while herds of cattle, sheep and horses roam over the valley and bordering hills in large numbers. This ranching country is one of the garden spots of British Columbia The people are comparatively old settlers, having come in from the Pacific Coast. About two miles east of Shus- wap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached.

A branch railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan at the head of Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Aberdeen plies to Kelowna and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the Fairview and other mining regions are reached. There is excellent hotel accommodation at Penticton. Vernon is a charming spot and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, -thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon r employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all kinds that the temperate zone will produce. Further down the lake is Peachland, a new town which is making considerable progress. This is a land of vineyards and orchards, as well as a Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, deer, Bighorn and mountain goats. On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses.

Soon after crossing the river we reach Revelstoke, the northern gateway to the great Kootenay mining camps, by which the trip through Southern British Columbia may be continued over the Crow's Nest Pass Railway to Dunmore or the plains east of the Rockies where that road joins with the main line. Revelstoke—Alt. 1,475 ft.—Pop. 1,600. On the Columbia River—a railway divisional point. The town was originally located on the river bank, a mile-and-a-half from the station, but recent years have seen its growth to the depot grounds. The Columbia, which makes a great detour from the east around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway cuts directly across, is here much larger than at Donald, from which it has fallen 1,050 ft., and 28 miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, from which there is rail communication with the Slocan, and to Robson, where different branches lead through the 'Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland, and to Nelson, ' which has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway, which runs through East Kootenay and Southern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Dunmore June, on the plains of the Canadian North-West. ( For descriptive notes of this route see pages 58 to 66.) At Revelstoke, an observation car, specially designed to allow an unbroken view of the wonderful mountain scenery, is usually attached to the train from May 20th to October 15th. LeavingRevelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the first portion of which is a gorge in which the railway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart.

About lllecillewaet station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Caribou occur in numbers from here down to the Columbia. Passing Ross Peak Siding, the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House.

This stately monolith was namedafter Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Farther to the left, looking from the hotel, are two or three sharp peaks, second only to Sir Donald. Roger's Pass and the snowy mountain beyond (a member of the Hermit range, which is called Grizzly, from t£e frequency with which bears are met upon its berry-bearing slopes) are m full view. Again to the left comes Cheops, and in the foreground, and far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel. The hotel is a handsome structure resembling a Swiss chalet, which serves not only as a dining station for passing trains, but affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt, or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to accommodate the increasing tourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged. The Great Glacier is exactly a mile and a half away, and its slowlyreceding forefoot is only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel. A good path has been made to it, and its exploration is not only practicable but easy, and trails lead to Marion Lake and other attractive points, at high altitudes. Swiss guides are stationed here during the summer months, this being a favorite resort of mountaineers. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found southward of Canada. Bears can also be obtained. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along the slopes of the Summit Peaks, the line soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks.

Roger's Pass—Alt. 4,275ft. This pass was named after Maj. A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1883, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, seven or eight thousand feet above the valley, half-a-dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chiefs, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub-range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mt. Macdonald towers a mile above the railway in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's-throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains were once apparently united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature has split them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park.

This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the wihter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. These are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove-tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrific avalanche. Bear Creek Alt. 3,500 ft.—The line now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side hundreds of feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid cascades, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line or the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mt.

In addition to its wealth of natural beauty the park enjoys fame as a medicinal watering-place, and by around - the - world tourists is spoken of as the " Carlsbad of America." No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery ; and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made.

To the left of Cascade Mt. and just north of the track rises the wooded ridge of Squaw Mt., beneath which lie the Vermillion lakes, seen just before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant, snowy, central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, walllike crest of Mt. Massive.

The village of Banff is a snort distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the C.P.R. Hot Springs hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the railway company, near the fine falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel which has every modern convenience and luxury, including plunge and tub baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from 15th May to 1st October, and thither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanitarium and hospital in the village and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Government. Trout of extraordinary size occur in Lake Minnewanka, and deep trolling for these affords fine sport. Wild sheep (the big horn)and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. The springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mt., the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes.

On the left are fantastically broken and castellated heights; on the right massive snow-laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie engulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. Sohae sections miles and miles in breadth, and thousands of feet thick, have ■ been pushed straight up, so that their strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (always on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side-pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has disappeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can maintain a foothold ; and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admirable features of the scenery.

Excellent building materials abound in the vicinity. Lumber is largely made here from logs floated down Bow River. Prom Calgary, a branch line runs north to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and another branch south to Macleod, thus throwing open a new and vast country which is annually attracting settlers in large numbers.

The sunset over these peaks is a never-tO-be-forgotten sight, the snowy caps of the jagged line of the horizon adding to the splendor of the view. The entire country is underlaid with two or more beds of good coal, and natural gas is frequently found in boring deep wells. This gas is utilized at Langevin in pumping water for the supply of the railway, and both there and at Tilley it can be seen burning brightly. Eastward and to the north and south of the railway, the entire prairie is seen to advantage, and before August it is a billowy ocean of grass. Cattle ranches are spread over it, and farms appear at intervals. The grade is up and down past Sxiffield and Bowell, and as Stair is approached is another farm of the Canadian Land and Ranche Company, lying west of the Saskatchewan River, where one of the largest herds of Galloway cattle in the world, is to be seen.

At Keewatin (pop. 1,400) is a mammoth flouring mill, owned and operated by the Lake of the Woods Milling Co., built of granite quarried on the spot, and Norman is a suburb of Rat Portage. Rat Portage — Pop. 5,202 — at the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods, is an important mining centre with several large sawmills, the product of which is shipped westward to the prairies. It is the key to the great gold fields now being developed in its immediate vicinity and in the Rainy Lake and Seine River districts to the south, which are easily reached by steamer, the route lying through one of the most picturesque regions on the continent. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of water touched by the railway between the Pacific and Lake Superior. Its fisheries are very valuable, the annual shipments being large. The lake is studded with islands and is a favorite resort for sportsmen and pleasure seekers. Its waters break through a narrow rocky rim atRatPortageandKeewa- tin, and fall into the Winnipeg River. Prom here the country is excessively broken and the railway passes through numerous rocky uplifts. The scenery is of the wildest description and deep, rock-bound lakes are always in sight. In fact, from Winnipeg to Fort William the railway traverses a wild, broken region, with rapid rivers and many lakes, but containing valuable forests and mineral deposits. Wolseley led an army from Port William to Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) in 1870, using the more or less connected rivers and lakes much of the way.

From the beauty of its situation, its accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood, it has become a favorite resort for tourists, and is rapidly becoming an important commercial centre. A long promontory of basaltic rock on the opposite side of Thunder Bay, called the "Sleeping Giant," whom Indian legend takes one back to aboriginal days, terminates in Thunder Cape, behind which lies the once famous Silver Islet, which has yielded almost fabulous wealth, but the mines becoming flooded have been abandoned. Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort William. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale may be seen in the distance. There are several hotels here —the Kaministiquia being a handsome structure. Port William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company. The fur house of the old fort is now used as an engine house for the great coal docks and some of the largest grain elevators in the world overshadow all. There are railway workshops and the usual buildings and sidings incident to a divisional point. The Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Ry. running to the Iron Range in Minnesota, branches off from here.

Nipigon River, which is crossed by a fine iron bridge shortly after leaving the station, is a beautiful stream, well known to sportsmen. Everywhere on Lake Superior, whitefish and the large lake trout are common. Between Gravel River and Rossport some of the heaviest work on the entire line of railway occurs, and approaching Schreiber (a divisional point and refreshment station) a chain of islands separates Lake Superior from Nipigon Bay.

Small steamers ply on the lake, and the district is much frequented by sportsmen. North Bay is a railway divisional point, with repair shops, etc., and there are very good hotels. From Lake Nipissing the railway traverses a somewhat wild and broken country with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills continue to occur and newly-made farms- are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in other places, follows the streams and the "breaks" in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Nearing Sturgeon Falls the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon Palls is a thriving village with a eaw-mill and several churches. Near Thorncliff is Nipissing Junction, the junction of the G-.5T. Ry. to Toronto, etc., going south by way of Lake Simcoe and the Muskoka lakes. Its trains run from North Bay, where connection with the C. P. Ry. trains is made. (See page 73 ) Boniield, formerly called Callander, was originally intended as the Eastern terminus of the C.P.R., to" • which connecting roads would run, but with the change of control from Government to Company, the transcontinental line was extended to Montreal.

The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are ranches and small farms. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress, being the supply point for the mines and ranches in the vicinity. It has already become a centre of great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crow's Nest Pass Road, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in East Kootenay, having four sawmills operating within its limits.

The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake. Continuing east beyond the Kootenay is an open grass country, which changes into a series of gravelly benches.

The utilization of the water power of the Elk at this point should make this town one of great importance. Beyond Elko, the Elk river is crossed, and about a mile below is the Elk river canon, which extends for several miles. The water drops 600 feet in that distance, and being compressed between narrow vertical walls, tur- bulently rushes through the canon. The scenery here rivals that of the Fraser and Thompson Canons. The railway turns north-easterly, following the Elk for over 40 miles. Along the Elk thick seams of coal crop out. for here are the great coal fields of East Kootenay, which are said to be the largest undeveloped coal measures in the world. Coal exists to the' summit of the Rockies, and beyond the pass it is again found underlying vast areas. An analysis and test of these coals have been made, and the results as shown in the Government reports prove that they compare favorably with the best coals of the same variety in Pennsylvania. Of coking coal there is an abundance, which is proving of great importance to the smelters of British Columbia.

Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the province becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining ■ operations are in progress. Thence it follows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crow's Nest Station are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distance east the summit of the is crossed at an altitude feet. Here is the divid- between British Colum- the District of Alberta, mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, emptying finally either in Hudson Bay or in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 ft., and beyond is Crow's Nest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles. This lake is credited with being the birthplace of the zephyrs that blow across the plains, and it is known that on occasions, while the western part of the lake is still and calm, "white caps", predominate on the eastern part. The railway runs directly past " the cave "—a hole in the side of Sentinel Mountain—from which pours out a great flood.

From Crow's Nest Lake the line has followed the middle fork of the Crow's Nest or Old Man River, with which it keeps company as a-rule as far east as Macleod. East of Blairmore, the thriving town of Frank, of recent birth, is another centre of coal mining operations. At the crossing of the Middle Fork, near Burmis, is a pretty 1 ittle crescent-shaped fall. To the left is Massacre Butte, the scene of a horrible tragedy thirty-two years ago, when a party of German prospectors were butchered by the Indians. The mountains to the left are the Livingston range of the Rockies, between whose base and the Porcupine Hills is a wide tract of grass coimtry on which large herds of cattle and horses feed. In this region there has been a large influx of settlers in recent years, and agriculture as well as stock raising is carried on. Coxoley is at the crossing of the south branch of the Old Man River, and six miles east is Pincher, the station for the thriving town of Pincher Creek, situated in the fertile valley to the south. Four miles east of Pincher, and snugly ensconced in a valley, is the Indian Industrial School, which is civilizing and educating the youthful "brethren in red."

There is plenty of feed and water, and the climatic conditions are most favorable for stock-raising, the mean temperature being higher than in Central Ontario, owing to the prevalence ol the Chinook winds, whose moderating influences are felt nearly as far east as Medicine Hat. From Macleod the Calgary & Edmonton Railway (operated by the C.P.R.) runs northwards to Calgary (108 miles) and to Edmonton, on the banks of the North Saskatchewan (300 miles), which, like South Alberta, is attracting a great deal of settlement. From Macleod the railway continues due east through a level plain, passing several unimportant stations, some of which—Kipp and Whoopup— were trading posts in the early days, and the scene of many an Indian battle, and reaches the valley of the St. Mary's, which it crosses on a series of trestles and bridges, a detour to the south being necessary to secure a favorable crossing.

St. Andrews is situated on Passamaquoddy Bay, and for beauty of environment is not surpassed by any point on that portion of the Atlantic coast. At Freaerict on Junction connection is made for the city of Fredericton (pop. 7,117), sometimes called " the Celestial city," the capital of New Brunswick. The line soon strikes the St. John River, and follows it for some miles, crossing it near St. John, where the Reversible Falls present to the traveller a remarkable tidal phenomenon. The Bay of Fundy is skirted to St. John, the loyalist city. all.35 112.00 St John, N.B Population 40,711. The city of St. John was destroyed by fire in June, 1877, causing a loss of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to indicate the awful calamity to-day. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—a winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor, an inspection of the fine wharves and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every week day between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing that land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the II Refreshment Stations. x Stops to leave passengers from points west of Mattawamkeag.

This old city occupies the base and summit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who sailed into the river, spent the winter of 1535 at the base of the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established here a headquarters for trading. As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abouads in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both in amusements and the health-giving -qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi, and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central.

G. McL. BROWN, Supt. Suepinc, Dinino and Parlor Cars, MONTREAL — CP.fi, ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE To Japan and China The Canadian Pacific Railway Oo.'s fast steamship service on the Pacific Ocean gives the shortest, safest and best route between Canada and the Orient, and also forms an important link in the popular "Around the World" trip. By the White Empress Line of the Canadian Pacific, tourists can easily reach either Japan or China, and visit at leisure the many attractive and curious places to be found in those countries, and they can, if they wish, continue the journey to Australia or around the world. The route from Vancouver, B. C, to Yokohama, Japan, Shanghai, China, and Hong Kong, is 300 miles shorter than any other transpacific route, and Vancouver is several hundred miles nearer to the Atlantic than any other Pacific port. The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller is assured of safety, comfort and pleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," "Empress of China," and "Empress of Japan," built under contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal mails,are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 feet in length, with 51 feet breadth of beam, and are the only twin screw steamships on the Pacific. They are of 10,000 horse-power, have triple expansion engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being added, and no expense has been spared in their luxurious fittings. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking Rooms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and surpass anything afloat. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity—in a word modern marine architecture has in these palaces excelled itself. The steamships "Tartar" (3,900 tons) and "Athenian" (4,500 tons), which owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade have been placed on regular schedule between Vancouver and Hong Kong, are Clyde-built and are classed 100 Al at Lloyds. They have excellent accommodation for passengers, the staterooms being . large, comfortable and perfectly ventilated. The dining saloons, cabins and smoking rooms are excellently equipped and are second only to those of the Canadian Pacific " Empress " steamships. These vessels are also lighted throughout by electricity and fitted with triple expansion engines.

Steamers sail frequently from Hong Kong to Manila, Philippine Islands, and passengers by this line transfer at Hong Kong to Manila steamers. The usual stay at intermediate ports is:—Yokohama, 24 hours; Kobe, 12 hours; Nagasaki, 10 hours; Shanghai, 12 to 24 hours, according to tide. These periods may be reduced or increased according to circumstances. Passengers should ascertain from Company's Agents at those ports the exact hours of departure. Steamers leave Vaneouver on arrival of Express from the East, and call at Victoria both ways. CANADIAN-AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL S, S, LINE This line was established in 1893, and has become the favorite route between Australia, America and Europe. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Suva, Fiji, and Honolulu, H.I., are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Aorangi, Moana andMiowera are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of . call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first insight is given of the dreamy native life of the Pacific. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that combine to emphasize the novelty and augment the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that all can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists'at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the handsomest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, among them a large and well appointed opera house. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses which do a very large outfitting trade with miners. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors, railway extends north-easterly miles to the great coal mines Nanaimo. Steamboats afford connections with Vancouver and with Puget Sound ports, and steamships depart about every five days for San Francisco, connecting there for Southern California, Mexico and South American west-coast ports. Steamers from and to Vancouver for Japan, China, Hawaii, Fiji, and Australia stop at Victoria for passengers, and there are regular sailings for Alaskan points both for tourists visiting the wonderful fiords of the north coast, and those intending to explore the great gold-belt of the Yukon. Esquimalt Harbor, two miles from Victoria, is the British naval station and rendezvous on the North Pacific, with naval storehouses, workshops, graving docks, A 70 at Da See and Beau surrou Westbound Paciflo Express Arrive 18.30 (6.30 pm) iiy nery sport Miles from Montreal 2990 Steam connec tiful ndings ship tions Local Steamship Service on the Pacific Coast.

From Victoria, steamers depart daily for Puget Sound ports; every five davs for San Francisco. Steamers from both Vancouver and Victoria to Puget Sound make connections at Tacoma with "jains for Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Southern California.

Vancouver—Pop. 26,196— the Pacific terminus of the railway. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this oneexcep- tion, every building now seen has been made since that time. The city fronts on Burrard Inlet, and extends across a strip of land to English Bay, along the shore of which it is now reaching out. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses, many hotels, the Vancouver, which has recently been rebuilt, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt soreets, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the inlet from a mountain stream opposite. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Fran- cisco.to China and Japan, to Sydney, N. S.W., via Honolulu,'H.L, Suva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern gold fields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The C. P. R. White Empress Line, whose steamships are the only twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Kong, making the quickest passage by from five to ten days across the North Pacific, depart every two or three weeks. At Hong' Kong passengers make connection with steamers of the P.& O.Co. for Colombo and other points on the Around the Worldroute,withsteamers of the China Navigation Co. and the Eastern & Australian Navigation Co. which ply between Hong Kong and Australia, or with the North German Lloyd steamships from Leave 12.40 (12.40pm) 2906 a 8°' Trans- Stea conne Pacific mship ctions From Vani'Ou ver to Yokohama. < 1283; to Hong Kong <i,37i; to Sail Fran-1 Cisco 1.133.

Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line sail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted to fruit growing. The coal supply comesfromNanaimo,directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent—the Cascade Mountains near at handatthe north; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mt. Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capi- lano Canon, a remarkable mountain cleft, across the islet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance— mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the inlet; trout-fishing in the mountain streams ; and sea-fishin g in endless variety. A stay of a week here will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep- set inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above are gigantic trees, twenty, thirty and even forty feet around. At the eighth Hastings Port Moody mile the north arm of Burrard Inlet is seen extending at right angles to the railway about fifteen miles into the mountains which, black and sombre, descend about 5,000 feet sheer into the water which is almost fathomless in depth. Shortly after Port Moody, which for a time was the terminus of the railway, at the head of the inlet, the railway leaves salt water, and crossing over a low lying ridge descends into the valley of the Fraser.

The town is the headquarters of the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills—the productof which isshipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—f rom which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, j with great meadows alive with cattle 'in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,000 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock. Hammond Haney Whonnock Mission June ar car ched From Mission Junc. a branch line crosses the Fraser River and runs to the international boundary line where rail connection is made with the Seattle & International Ry. for Seattle, Wash., thence via Northern Pacific Rd. to Tacoma, Portland, all Oregon and California points. This line gives through connection for all the prominent points on Puget Sound, and for Portland and San . Francisco. (See Condensed Time Table.) Near Harrison Nicomen Station the Harrison Harrison River is crossed just above its confluence with the Fraser. Until the opening of the Fraser route, in 1864, the only access to the northern interior of the province was by way of the Harrison river and lake.

Che-am, is a Government experimental farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodations, and the country about is most interesting. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Above Ruby Creek the valley begins to narrow, and the luxuriant vegetation which has extended from the Pacific Coast to this point, gradually changes to the more stunted and gnarled growth to be found on the mountain sides. Hope—Alt. 200 ft.—Across the river from Hope Station is the village of the same name - a mining town and trading-post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. South westward may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 200 ft.— Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cxil-de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a long way below and far above the town. Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succession of tunnels, enters the canon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses the railway many times in the next 12 miles, till we reach Spuzzum where it passes to the opposite Spuzzum side of the river by a most picturesque suspension bridge, thence Harr Spri Leave I 9.42 2835 ison ngs f 9.21 2824 Hope 9.03 Peak 8.35 2816 2803 Begin the c Entra theF ca ning of anons nee to raser non 8.02 2792 /' Flag Stations 71 12 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE Miles from VancVr East- bound Atlantic Express STATIONS—Descriptive Notes "Westbound Pacific Express Miles from Montrea 129 140 Leave T Cari ro al9.20 11 .35 20.10 Sal and du he boo ad mon gold! st to Boston Bar (about 12 miles) is one continuous canon. The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as "matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rocks where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level, and those who pass through the canon in the month of August often see ihe eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals and the old wagon road all of which have been abandoned for the railway. North Bend—Alt. 425 ft.—A charming chalet hotel makes North Bend (a divisional point) a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance from the hotel, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, built in the early 60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Usually twisting and turning about the cliffs, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an angry turn of the waters. Three miles above Keefers, where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice. The canon alternately widens and narrows. Indians are seen on projecting rocks down at the water's edge, spearing salmon or scooping them out with dipnets, and in sunny spots the Leave The ca great non ^7.15 a7.00 2771 6.29 276 Indians and Chinamen I Refreshment Stations.

The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then through breaks in the high escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Ly.tton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, and on the opposite bank of the river gold was first discovered in British Columbia in 1857. Gladwin Thompson Drynoch— Alt. 700 ft, Above this point the scenery be- comes very striking and peculiar. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, the ravines spanned by lofty bridges, and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded, cream-white slopes; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rusixred earth, suddenly followed by an olive green grass slope or some white exposure. "With this fantastic color, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, andT a constantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by f Flag Stations.

S pence's Bridge—At Spence's Bridge the old wagon road up this valley to the Cariboo gold country crosses the river ; and the railway crosses here the mouth of the Nicola River, whose valley southward is an important grazing and ranching region. Two miles beyond Spatsum Basque the Basque h,iUa press close upon the Thompson River, which cuts its way through a winding gorge of almost terrifying gloom and desolation, fitly named the Black Canon. Emerging, the train follows the river as it meanders swiftly among the round-topped, treeless and water-cut hills. Ashcroft has developed into a busy Ashcroft 1,075 ft; -Alt. town, being the point of depart ure for Cariboo, and other gold fields ii the northern interior of British Columbia. Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four to ten yoke of oxen, and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrays here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some fanning is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley soon begins to widen out, and passing Pennys, an old and established cattle ranch, the line soon reaches Savonas at tne foot of Kamloops Lake, trom Port Moody to this point, the railway was built by the Dominion Government, and transferred to the Company in 1886. Pennys Savonas From Savonas the line follows the south shore of Kamloops Lake for about twenty miles. It is a beautiful hill-girt sheet of water. Quicksilver mines, which it is hoped will prove of great value, can be seen on the opposite shore of the lake.

The north fork of the Thompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and here joins the main river. It is a beautiful spot, whose dry invigorating climate pre-eminently makes it a desirable resort for sufferers from pulmonary troubles. • The broad valleys intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hills, and fine groves line both banks of the streams. Steamboats are on the river, and sawmills briskly at work. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by St. Paul's Mountain. The principal industry around Kamloops is grazing, since the hills are covered with most nutritious "bunch-grass," and agriculture and fruit raising flourish wherever irrigation is practicable, but recently the country has developed into a promising mining region. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in theNicola valleys, reached 1by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper.

About two miles east of Shuswap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached.

The line then gradually runs down hill until it reaches the level of the water, at Salmon Arm, which it runs entirely round, and then goes for a long distance entirely along the southern shore Tappen of the lake. This Salmon Arm is » most re- j markable body of water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high, bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand and pebbles, with alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The railway crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at Sicamous Narrows. Sicamous is Sicamous June- the station for Alt. 1,300 tt. the mining and agricultural districts to the south where there is large settlement. An excellent hotel at Sicamous forms splendid headquarters for those wishing to remain over and shoot or fish. A house-boat has been placed on Shuswap Lake, to be towed by tug, for parties, and small craft are always obtainable. There is excellent trout fishing within a few minutes' paddle of the hotel—also at Annsty Lake near the head of Seymour Arm, and White Lake near Copper Island.

A branch railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan at the head of Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Aberdeen plies to Keloiona and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the Fairview and other mining regions are reached. There is excellent hotel accommodation at Penticton. Vernon is a charming spot and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all kinds that the temperate zone will produce. Further down the lake is Peachland, a new town which is making considerable progress. This is a land of vineyards and orchards, as well as a Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, deer, Bighorn and mountain goats. On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses. From Sicamous the transcontinental line ascends the valley of Eagle River which cuts through the Gold Range and is filled throughout with a dense growth of immense trees—spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar, balsam and many other varieties—giants all of them. At Craigellachie Craigellachie Alt. 1,450 ft. the last spike was driven in the Canadian Pacific Ry. on Nov. 7, 1885—the rails from the east and the west meeting here.

To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas, to Nakusp. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400 ft.) and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful, and there is excellent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan, and to Robson, where different branches lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland, and to Nelson, which has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western, terminus of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway, which runs through East Kootenay and Southern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Dunmore June, on the plains of the Canadian North-West. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 56 to 64.) At Revelstoke, an observation car, specially designed to allow an unbroken view of the wonderful mountain scenery, is usually attached to the train from May 20th to Oct. 15th.

About lllecillewaet station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Caribou occur in numbers from here down to the Columbia. Passing Ross Peak Siding, the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward, up the valley one of the finest andmost magnificent views on the line may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House.

This stately monolith was named after Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Farther to the left, looking from the hotel, are two or three sharp peaks, second only to Sir Donald. Roger's Pass and the snowy mountain beyond (a member of the Hermit range, which is called Grizzly, from the frequency with which bears are met upon its berry-bearing slopes) are in full view. Again to the left comes Cheops, and in the foreground, and far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel. The hotel is a. handsome structure resembling a Swiss chalet, which serves not only as a dining station for passing trains, but affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish, to hunt, or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to accommodate the increasing tourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged. The Great Glacier is exactly a mile and a half away, and its slowly receding forefoot is only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel. A good path has been made to it, and its exploration is not only practicable but easy, and trails lead to Marion Lake and other attractive points, at high altitudes. Swiss guides are stationed here during the summer months, this being a favorite resort of mountaineers. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found southward of Canada. Bears can also be obtained. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along the slopes of the Summit Peaks, the line soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks.

Roger's Pass—Alt. 4,275 ft. This pass was named after Maj. A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1883, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, seven or eight thousand feet ahove the valley, half-a-dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chiefs, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub-range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mt. Macdonald towers a mile above the railway in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's-throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains were once apparently united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature has split them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park.

This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains 'southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. These are built of heavy squaxed cedar timber, dove-tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrific avalanche. Bear Creek—Alt. 3,500 ft.—The line now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side hundreds of feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid cascades, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A. little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mt.

En route to the valley there is a natural bridge, and Emerald Lake, 7 miles from Field, is one of the most charming of mountain waters. Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen, is a fossil bed, rich in rare specimens of trilobite. During the summer Swiss guides are also stationed here to accompany tourists and mountain climbers. Looking down the valley from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude of 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges. The scenery is sublime and overwhelming in its grandeur. The Une ascends rapidly crossing the deep gorge of the Kicking Horse and skirting the beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector.

In addition to its wealth of natural beauty the park enjoys fame as a medicinal watering-place, and by around - the - world tourists is spoken of as the " Carlsbad of America." No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery ; and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made.

The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the C.P.R. Hot Springs hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the railway company, near the fine falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel whiqh has every modern convenience and luxury, including plunge and tub baths supplied from the ho^t sulphur springs, is kept open from 8th May to 1st October, and thither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanitarium and hospital in the village and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Government. Trout of extraordinary size occur in Lake Minnewanka, and deep trolling for these affords fine sport. Wild sheep (the big horn)and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. The springs aire at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mt., the highest being 900 ft. aoove the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes.

There is a remarkable contrast between the ranges in view behind. On the left are fantastically broken and castellated heights; on the right massive snow-laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie engulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and- miles in breadth, and thousands of feet thick, have been pushed straight up, so that their strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (always on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side-pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has disappeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can maintain a foothold ; and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admirable features of the scenery.

It is charmingly situated on a hill- girt plateau, overlooked by the white peaks of the Rockies, and is the centre of the trade of the northern part of the great ranching country and one of the sources of supply for the mining districts in the mountains beyond. Excellent building materials abound in the vicinity. Lumber is largely made here from logs floated down Bow River. Prom Calgary, a branch line runs north to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and another branch south to Macleod, thus throwing open a new and vast country which is annually attracting settlers in large numbers.

The sunset over these peaks is a never-to-be-forgotten sight, the snowy caps of the jagged line of the horizon adding to the splendor of the view. The entire country is underlaid with two or more beds of good coal, and natural gas is frequently found in boring deep wells. This gas is utilized at Langevin in pumping water for the supply of the railway, and both there and at Tilley it can be seen burning brightly. Eastward and to the north and south of the railway, the entire prairie is seen to advantage, and before August it is a billowy ocean of grass. Cattle ranches are spread over it, and farms appear at intervals.

Eastward from Medicine Hat to Svnft Current the line skirts the northern base of the Cypress Hills, which reach an altitude of 3,800 feet, and in many places are covered with valuable timber. It is impossible to conceive of a better stock country than that lying between the Cypress Hills and the railway. Rich in the grasses that possess peculiar attractions for horses and cattle, the valleys and groves of timber give ample shelter all seasons of the year, and the numerous streams flowing out of the Cypress Hills afford an unfailing supply of water.

Close to them the Government has erected a Meteorological Observing Station. From Swift Current to Moose Jaw the line steadily falls on the eastern slope of the Coteau, and winds through an irregular depression to the basin of the Chaplin Lakes formerly known as the Old Wives' Lakes — extensive bodies of water having no outlet and consequently alkaline. The northern-most of these lakes is reached at Rush Lake, a large area of fresh water and a favorite resort of waterfowl—swans, geese, ducks and pelicans—which at times congregate here in myriads. At Rush Lake on the north side of the line is another of the Canadian Land and Ranche Company's farms, and on the south side that Company has 700 acres under irrigation.

A couple of miles before reaching Regina are the headquarters of the Northwest Mounted Police. The barracks, officers'quarters, offices, storehouses and the imposing drill hall, together make a handsome village. The Mounted Police is a military organization numbering 840 men, who are stationed at intervals over the North-West, to look after the Indians and preserve order generally.

At Keewati/n (pop. 1,400) is a mammoth flouring mill, owned and operated by the Lake of the Woods Milling Co., built of granite quarried on the spot, and Norman is a suburb of Rat Portage. Rat Portage — Pop. 5,202 — at the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods, is an important mining centre with several large sawmills, the product of which is shipped westward to the prairies. It is the key to the great gold fields now being developed in its immediate vicinity and in the Rainy Lake and Seine River districts to the south, which are easily reached by steamer, the route lying through one of the most picturesque regions on the continent. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of water touched by the railway between the Pacific and Lake Superior. Its fisheries are very valuable, the annual shipments 'being large. The lake is studded with islands and is a favorite resort for sportsmen and pleasure seekers. Its waters break through a narrow rocky rim at Rat Portage and E ee wa - tin, and fall into the Winnipeg River. From here the country is excessively broken and the railway passes through numerous rocky uplifts. The scenery is of the wildest description and deep, rock-bound lakes are always in sight. In fact, from Winnipeg to Fort William the railway traverses a wild, broken region, with rapid rivers and many lakes, but containing valuable forests and mineral deposits. Wolseley led an army from Fort William to Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) in 1870, using the more or less connected rivers and lakes much of the way.

From the beauty of its situation, its accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood, it has become a favorite resort for tourists, and is rapidly becoming an important commercial centre. A long promontory of basaltic rock on the opposite side of Thunder Bay, called the " Sleeping Giant," whom Indian legend takes one back to aboriginal days, terminates in Thunder Oape, behind which lies the once famous Silver Islet, which has yielded almost fabulous wealth, but the mines becoming flooded have been abandoned. Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort WUham. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale may be seen in the distance. There are several hotels here —the Kaministiquia being a handsome structure. Fort William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company. The fur house of the old fort is now used as an engine house for the great coal docks and some of the largest grain elevators in the world overshadow all.

Leaving Port Arthur and skirting the rocky and picturesque line which follows the ever-changing north shore of Lake Superior, the greatest inland body of fresh water in the world, the passenger is carried by and around promontories of so startling a character that he is thoroughly engrossed in interest. Rocky ledges, fishing grounds and arable land-stretches alternate for hundreds of miles.

The constantly changing views on Nipigon Bay are charming. All of the streams emptying intoLakeSuperior contain speckled trout in plenty, and in some of the streams, Nipigon River especially, they are noted for their large size—six pounders being not uncommon. Nipigon River, which is crossed by a fine iron bridge shortly after leaving the station, is a beautiful stream, well known to sportsmen. Everywhere on Lake Superior, whitefish and the large lake trout are common. Between Gravel, and Rossport some of the heaviest work on the entire line of railway occurs, and approaching Schreiber.

Small steamers ply on the lake, and the district is much frequented by sportsmen. North Bay is a railway divisional point, with repair shops, etc., and there are very good hotels. From Lake Nipissing the railway traverses a somewhat wild and broken country with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills con tinue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in other places, follows the streams and the "breaks" in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Nearing Sturgeon Falls the rail C J? way crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon Falls iZQ is a thriving village with a saw-mill and several churches. Near Thorncliff is Nipissing Junction, the junction of the G-.T. Ry. to Toronto, etc., going south by way of Lake Simcoe and the Muskoka lakes. Its trains run from North Bay, where connection with the C. P. Ry. trains is made. (See page 73.) Bonfield, formerly called Callander, was originally intended as the Eastern terminus of the C.P.R., to which connecting roads would run, but with the change of control from Government to Company, the transcontinental line was extended to Montreal.

It is a favorite centre for moose hunters, and guides and supplies for shooting expeditions may always be obtained here. An attractive point for tourists is Lake Timiskaming, and no more enjoyable canoeing can be imagined than in exploration of these waters which abound in fish, as the country does in game. To the south of the railway is Algonquin Park, established by the Ontario Government as a forest and game preserve. Chalk River isa divisional point, with an engine house and the usual railway buildings and appurtenances. From Mattawa to Pembroke the railway continues along the west bank of the Ottawa, whose valley narrows and the Ottawa flows deeply between the increasing hills.

Hudson Como Vaudreuil St. Anne de B'I'vue the summer On the opposite side of the Lake is the Trappist Monastery, whose silent inmates divide their time between their religious duties and the cultivation of the soil. Vaudreuil is a picturesquely placed village at the most westerly of the five mouths of the Ottawa River, which empty into the St. Lawrence. Crossing the' river Isle Perrot is traversed to a second mouth at St. Anne de Bellemie, whose rapids are paralleled by a canal. St. Anne de Bellevue occupied a prominent place in the early history of Canada and at one time there were efforts put forth to give it a greater*commercial importance than the Montreal of that day. The village is prettily situated, and the scenery is beautiful. St. Anne's was once the home of the poet Moore, and is the scene of his memorable boat-sbng. There is almost continuous settlement back of St. Anne's in a land of orchards, and a number of summer resorts on Lake St. Louis, a widening of the St. Lawrence River, are passed in rapid succession.

The Moyie River is followed through a heavily timbered country, and at the southern extremity of Lower Moyie Lake, a pretty water- stretch, is Moyie, near which mining operations are extensively carried on, this being the site of the Ste. Eugene Consolidated, one of the largest silver-lead properties in the world. Game is abundant in the locality—both large and small—and there is capital fishing. The line closely follows the winding shores of Moyie Lake, the waters of which, occupying the whole valley, force the railway into the mountain's sides. Leaving Swansea, a park-like country is entered, through which flow several streams, from some of which gold has been extracted. A northerly course is followed to Cranbrook, one of the prettiest located towns in British Columbia. Cranbrook—Alt. 2,964ft.—Pop. 1,196. The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are ranches and small farms. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress, being the supply point for the mines and ranches in the vicinity. It has already become a centre bf great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crow's Nest Pass Road, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in Bast Kootenay, having four sawmills operating within its limits. The town is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in British Columbia. A branch line of railway runs to the North Star and Sullivan Mines and Kimberly (18 miles) and Marysville. From Cranbrook, the grade gradually rises to Fort Steele Isidor Canon, Wardner—Alt. whose brink is 2 434 ft. skirted. Ten J affray miles east of Cranbrook is Fort Steele Station, from which the prosperousminingtownof thatname, 8 miles to the north, is reached by stage.

Leave perfectly clear of undergrowth, the valley of the Kootenay is reached. The course has been in a southeasterly direction, and follows the Kootenay river, which is crossed at Wardner, on a magnificent Howe truss bridge. The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing, where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake. Continuing east beyond the Kootenay is an open grass country, which changes into a series of gravelly benches. Lofty peaks and frowning precipices confront one — those of the last great range, the Rockies, the backbone of the continent. The three isolated peaks are called the '' Steeples."

The utilization of the water power of the Elk at this point should make this town one of grefit importance. Beyond Elko, the Elk river is crossed, and about a mile below is the Elk river canon, which extends for several miles. The water drops 600 feet in that distance, and being compressed between narrow vertical walls, tur- bulently rushes through the canon. The scenery here rivals that of me Fraser and Thompson Canons. The railway turns north-easterly, following the Elk for over 40 miles. Along the Elk thick seams of coal crop out, for here are the great coal fields of East Kootenay, which are said to be the largest undeveloped coal measures in the world. Coal exists to the summit of the Rockies, and beyond the pass it is again found underlying vast areas. An analysis and test of these coals have been made, and the results as shown in the Government reports prove that they compare favorably with the best coals of the same variety in Pennsylvania. Of coking coal there is an abundance, which is proving of great importance to the smelters of British Columbia. Passing through a thickly timbered country, and crossing Morrissey and other creeks, the railway runs into Fernie, the present centre of development of the coal industry. 164 1/19.02 Fernie Hosmer Sparwood This town, which is at the mouth of Coal Creek, only Leave Summit of Rockies 6.18 6.01 266 259 251 5.55 If 5.27 1 5.04 248 240 230 I Refreshment Stations. /Flag Stations.

Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the province becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it follows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "LoOp" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crow's Nest Station are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distance east the summit of the Rockies is crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Colum- . bia and the District of Alberta,- and a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, emptying finally either in Hudson Bay or in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 ft., and beyond is Crow's Nest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles. This lake is credited with being the birthplace of the zephyrs that blow across the plains, and it is known that on occasions, while the western part of the lake is still and calm, "white caps" predominate on the eastern part. The railway runs directly past " the cave"—a hole in the side of Sentinel Mountain—from which pours out a great flood. This is the source of the Middle Fork of the Old Man River, which is believed to be the outflow of an subterranean stream.

Blairmore Blairmore, to Frank the east of . which are cold Burmis sulphur springs whose waters are sought by many, is reached and beyond is a narrow defile—" The Gap "—through which the train finds its way to the foothills and the plains. To the right Turtle Mountain looms to great height, its base forming one of the walls of The Gap, ana: here a last view of the grand old Crow's Nest Mountain is obtained. From Crow's Nest Lake the line has followed the middle fork of the Crow's Nest or Old Man River, with which it keeps company as a rule as far east as Macleod. East of Blairmore, the thriving town of Frank, of recent birth, is another centre of coal mining operations. At the crossing of the Middle Fork, near Burmis, is a pretty little crescent-shaped fall. To the left is Massacre Butte, the scene of a horrible tragedy thirty-two years ago, when a party of German prospectors were butchered by the Indians. The mountains to the left are the Livingston range of the Rockies, between whose base and the Porcupine Hills is a wide tract of grass country on which large herds of cattle and horses feed. In this . region there has been a large influx of settlers in recent years, and agriculture as well as stock raising is carried on. Cowley is at the crossing of the south hranch -All. of the Old Man River, and six miles east is Pincher, the station for the thriving town of Pincher Creek, situated in the fertile valley to the south. Four miles east of-Pincher, and snugly ensconced in a valley, is the Indian Industrial School, which is civilizing and educating the youthful "brethren in red."

The Rockies are paralleled for a short distance, affording magnificent views of their marvellous proportions Victoria Peak (9,860 ft.) and Castle Mt. are prominent in the distance,and Turtle Mountain, shaping itself into a huge tortoise, is silhouetted against the sky. There is a glorious panorama spread be fore one—on one side the vast plains which stretch far away until earth and sky seem to meet; on the other the serrated Rockies, standing forth in all their sublimity and grandeur, piercing the very clouds. On the plains a long line of large boulders marks the existence of an ice age in prehistoric times, and directly ahead on the left are the Mounted Police quarters and the town of Macleod.

There is plenty of feed and water, and the climatic conditions are most favorable for stock-raising, the mean temperature being higher than in Central Ontario, owing to the prevalence ol the Chinook winds, whose moderating influences are felt nearly as far east as Medicine Hat. From Macleod the Calgary & Edmonton Railway (operated by the C.P.R) runs northwards to Calgary (108 miles) and to Edmonton, on the banks of the North Saskatchewan (300 miles), which, like South Alberta, is attracting a great deal of settlement. From Macleod the railway continues due east through a level plain, passing several unimportant stations, some of which—Kipp and Whoopup—were trading posts in the early days, and the scene of many an Indian battle, and reaches the valley of the St. Mary's, which it crosses on a series of trestles and bridges, a detour to the south being necessary to secure a favorable crossing.

At Fredericton Junction connection is made for the city of Fredericton (pop. 7,117), sometimes called " the Celestial city," the capital of New Brunswick.

The Bay of Fundy is skirted to St. John, the loyalist city. John, N.B Population 40,711. The city of St. John was destroyed by fire in June, 1877, causing a loss of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to indicate the awful calamity to-day. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills hex* place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—a winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor, an inspection of the fine wharves and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every week day between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing that land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the II Refreshment Stations. x Stops to leave passengers from points west of Mattawamkeag Leave I 8.28 a 8.20 if 7.50 7.14 P.M.

This old city occupies the base and summit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who sailed into the river, spent the winter of 1535 at the base of the cliffs,' and French fur companies soon after established here a headquarters for trading. As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi, and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of .the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central.

During two days of the voyage he will be within sight of land on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest, made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery' which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the North Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout. The passenger accommodation is all amidships, where the motion of the vessel is least felt, and is equipped with every modern appliance conducing to the comfort of travellers.

Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that combine to emphasize the noveltyand augment the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that all can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

(95) MEMORANDA. mm 1 mmYMdP sm EASTBOUND EDITION ANNOTATED TIME TABLE WITH INFORMATION AS TO THE TRANSCONTINENTAL ROUTES OF THE ADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. The Company does not undertake that trains shall start or arrive at the times herein specified, nor will it be accountable for any loss, inconvenience or injury which may arise from delays ox\ detention ; nor will it be responsible for any delay, detention, loss or injury whatsoever arising off its lines or from the acts or defaults of other parties, nor for the correctness of the times over the lines of other companies, nor for the arrival of this Company's own trains in time for. or to connect with, the nominally corresponding trains or steamers of this or any other company. Train' times shown herein are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice. Steamship sailings herein are weather permitting ; and for river, gulf, lake and ferry steamers are during season of navigation only. Ferry at Prescott and Detroit, and steamship sailings' from Vancouver, Victoria and San Francisco and Pacific Coast are all the year. Twentt-fotjb Hour Time.—On lines west of Fort William the twenty-four hour system of notation is used, in which the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, beginning at one o'clock in the morning. The afternoon and evening hours run from 18 to 24, and those not familiar with the system may readily reckon by adding or subtracting 12. Thus to convert ordinary p.m. time into railway time, 12 is added: and 5 in the afternoon, for instance, would be found to be 17 o'clock. To reduce the time table figures to ordinary p.m. time, subtract 12, and thus 19.35 would be found to mean 35 minutes past 7 in the evening. The advantage of this system is that it prevents mistakes from the confusion of a.m. and p.m. in reading time tables and in the operating of the railway generally.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and oeyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is like that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the handsomest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, and the C.P.R. Company have erected a palatial Empress Hotel. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses, which do a very large outfitting trade for the Yukon. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Eailway extends northeasterly 78 miles to ijhe great coal mines at Nanaimo, through a section in which people, who have achieved independence have taken lip residence. A splendid Canadian Pacific Railway steamship connects with Vancouver— a ferriage of four hours through a beautiful archipelago.

Esquimalt Harbor, two miles from Victoria, was formerly the British naval station and rendezvous on the North Pacific, with naval storehouses, workshops, graving docks, etc. Vancouver—Pop. 80,000—the Pacific terminus of the railway and the nearest ocean port to the great wheat lands. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been made since that time. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, with cement side-walks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite, while the city's sewage system is second to none. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, N. S. W., via Honolulu, H. I., Suva, Fiji and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound, and Alaskan ports; it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern gold- fields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The Canadian Pacific Railway White Empress Line, whose steamships are the finest twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Kong, making the quickest passage by from five to ten days across the North Pacific, departing every two or three weeks.

Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line sail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted for fruit growing. The electric railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at the foot of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent—the Cascade Mountains near at hand at the north : the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mount Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capilano Canon, a remarkable mountain cleft, across the Inlet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance—mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the Inlet and trout-fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week at Vancouver will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set Ihlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber foT ail parts of the world ; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees with trunks of twenty, thirty and even forty feet circumference. At the eighth mile the north arm of Burrard Hastings Barnett Port Moody Inlet is seen ex tending at right angles to the railway about fifteen miles into the mountains which, black and sombre, descend about 5,000 feet sheer into the water which is almost fathomless.

It has also large sawmills— the product of which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,000 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock. From Mission Hammond Haney Whonnock Mission Junc Junc. a branch line crosses the Fraser River and runs to the international boundary line where rail connection is made with the Northern Pacific Railway from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and all Oregon and California points.

Two of the finest equipped creameries in the Dominion are operating at Chilliwack, producing over one-half million pounds of butter annually, also the largest fruit canning company in the country is now in operation there. The city of Chilliwack has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, and has the advantages of city water, telephones and electric light. Agassiz — At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government Experimental Farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for . their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodation, and the Ruby Creek country about is ' most interesting. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Hope—Alt. 200 ft.—Across the river from Hope is the village of the same name—a mining town and trading- post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. To the south-west may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 200 ft.— Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul- de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a long way below and far above the town. Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succession of tunnels, enters the canon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses the railway many times in the next 12 f Flag Stations.

The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as "matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level, and those who pass through the canon in the month of August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals, and the old wagon road, all of which have been abandoned for the railway. ||North Bend—Alt. 425 ft.--North Bend (a divisional point) is a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance .from the station, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, built in the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Three miles above Keefers, where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice. The canon alternately widens and narrows. Indians are, seen on projecting rocks down at the water's edge, spearing salmon or scooping them out with dip-nets, and in sunny spots the salmon are drying on poles. Chinamen are seen on the occasional sand or gravel bars washing for gold; and irregular Indian farms or villages, with their quaint and barbarously decorated Refreshment Stations. ./Flag Stations.

Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and enters the canon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking, colors, and now and then, through breaks in the high escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Lytton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, on the river bank opposite which the first discovery of gold in British Columbia was made in 1857. Above this point the Gladwin Thompson scenery becomes very striking and peculiar. Pacific Imper'l Express Limited Miles from | Montr'1 ■Leave Leave 2.08 iboo rict Drynoch Alt. 700 ft. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, the ravines spanned by lofty bridges, and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its Winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded, cream- white slopes 5 next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then- masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive green grass slope or "some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration, to which the brilliant emerald • river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins. The strange forms and gaudy hues of the rocks and terraces, scanty of herbage, impress themselves most strongly on the memory.

There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley begins to widen out, and passing Pennys, where there is an old and established cattle ranch, the line soon reaches Savonas at the foot of Kamloops Lake. From Port Moody to this point, the railway was built by the Dominion Government, and transferred to the Company in 1886. From Savonas tries region Pennys Savonas Forks Thom the line iollows the south shore of Kamloops Lake for about twenty miles. It is a beautiful hill-girt sheet of water. Quicksilver mines, which it is hoped will prove of great value, can be seen on the opposite shore of the lake.

A branch of the railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan at the head of .Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Okanagan plies to Kelowna and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the Fair- view and other mining regions are reached. There is excellent accommodation at Penticton. Vernon is a charming spot and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, thirty-fivev miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all the kinds that the temperate zone will produce.

This is a land of vineyards and orchards, as well as a'Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, The Shuswap Lakes I 18.47 al8.47 Leave I Leave 9.15 B.

On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses.

Malakwa Craigellachie Alt. 1,450 ft. At Craigellachie the last spike was driven in the Canadian Pacific Railway on Nov. 7th, 1885—the rails from the east and the west meeting here. Following up the valley, four beautiful lakes occur in close succession, Griffin, Three Valley, Victor and Summit, each occupying the eritire width of the valley and forcing the railway into the mountain sides. The highest Three Valley Alt. 1,900 ft. Clanwilliam Alt. 1,996 ft. point reached in Eagle Pass is at Summit Lake, where the valley is so deep cut and direct that it seems to have been purposely provided for the railway. * The line descends 525 feet in the next eight miles to the Columbia River. The two peaks southeast, seen from the main line of the railway, are Mackenzie and Tilley, and the most prominent one towards the southwest is Mount Begbie, imposing and glacier- studded. Soon after crossing the river we reach Revelstoke, the northern gateway to the great Kootenay mining camps, by which the trip through Southern British Columbia may be continued over the Crowsnest Pass Route to Dunmore Junction on the plains east of the Rockies where that Branch joins with the main line. Revelstoke—Alt. 1,475 ft.—Pop. 3,500. On the Columbia River—a railway divisional point, and a gateway to the great West Kootenay mining camps. The Hotel Revelstoke facing the station is a modern building with all conveniences. A fine tourist resort— fishing, hunting, boating and mountain climbing can be enjoyed here. Mount Victoria summit, immediately north of the city, can be reached by the Lindmark Trail, from which a magnificent view of glaciers, mountain peaks, valleys and rivers are obtained. Fish and game are abundant in the vicinity. The Columbia, which makes a great detour from the east around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway cuts directly across, is here much larger than at £J5| Donald, from which it has fallen 1,071 / Flag Stations.

To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known ' resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400 ft.) and there ; are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful, and there is excellent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan and to West Robson, whence different branches lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland and to Nelson. Nelson has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crowsnest Pass Route, which runs through East Kootenay and Southern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Dunmore Junction, on the plains of the Canadian North-West. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 60 to 68.) At Revelstoke, during the summer season, an observation car, specially designed to allow an unbroken view of the wonderful mountain scenery, is attached to the train. Leaving Revelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the first portion of which is a gorge in which the railway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart Twin Butte—This station takes its name from the huge double suirimit near by, now called Mounts Mackenzie-Tilley. After passing the station, there looms up at the left the conspicuous and beautiful peak named Clachnacoodin. Albert Canyon—Alt. 2,227 ft. Just east of the station the train runs suddenly along the very brink of several remarkably deep fissures in the solid rock, whose walls rise straight up, hundreds of feet on both sides, to wooded crags, above'which sharp, distant peaks cut the sky. The most striking of these canons is the Albert, where the river is seen nearly 150 feet below the railway, compressed into a boiling flume scarcely 20 ft. wide. lllecillewaet The lllecillewaet Alt. 2,710ft.

The gorge is sometimes of considerable width, filled a remarkable forest of those gigantic trees for which British Columbia is famous, and there are exceedingly grand outlooks all along. About Ross Peak station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Caribou occur in numbers from here down to the Columbia. Passing Ross Peak Siding, the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line' may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House. Glacier House -Alt. 4,122 ft. Station and hotel are within thirty minutes' walk of the lllecillewaet Glacier, from which at the left, Sir Donald (10,808 ft.) rises a naked and abrupt pyramid, to a height of a mile and a quarter .above the railway. This stately monolith was named after Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Farther to the left, looking from the hotel, are two or three sharp peaks(Uto, Eagle, Avalanche and MacDonald j, second only to Sir Donald. Rogers' Pass and the snowy mountain beyond (a member of the Hermit range, which is called Grizzly, from the frequency with which bears are met upon its berry-bearing slopes) are in full view. Again to the left, at the west end of Hermit Range on the south side of Bear Creek, comes Cheops, and in the foreground, far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens across the valley. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders, of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel, which is called Abbott. Between Ross and Abbott in the background is an enormous wall of snow. This is the Mount Bonney Glacier. To the right of Ross between Ross and Chedps, a glimpse is caught of the Cougar Valley where are the wonderful caves of Nakimu (Indian for I Westbo'd Train Pacific Imper'l Express Limited Leave Game, and W B.

These caves, whose recesses have not been fully explored, contain many chambers, some of which are of surprising beauty. Roads are being constructed by which they will be made easy of access. Following the sky-line of Mount Abbott which appears behind the hotel like a forested wall, the eye rests upon another lofty glacier with many peaks shooting up through the snow. This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are—Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall; the Dome, a rounded rock ; Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. To the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel not only serves as a dining station for passing trains, but ' also affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or explore the surrounding mountains or §laciers. Here in the heart of the elkirks every comfort and luxury are found, and here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to accommodate the increasing tourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged. The lllecillewaet Glacier is exactly two miles away, and its slowly receding forefoot with immense crevices of abysmal depths cutting across the crystal surface, is only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel. Several good trails have been made to it, and ite exploration is practicable. A splendid view can be obtained of the Great Glacier from Glacier Crest to the left of the Great Glacier, and 3,000 feet above the hotel another view is from the trail at the foot of Sir Donald which is to the right of the ice. Easy trails also lead to Marion Lake; to Mount Abbott, 1,573 feet above the valley ; to Cascade summer house, opposite the hotel high among the trees directly above the mountain torrent, seen tumbling down the green shoulder from Avalanche Peak; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the 1: r ' ^yy'^M^^w^ -—„.'

Good routes have also been mapped by the guides up Eagle and Sir Donald ; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named on account of a large rock figure exactly resembling an eagle perched upon the) knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found south of Canada. Bears also are seen frequently in this vicinity. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along the slopes of the Summit Peaks, the Tine soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks. Selkirk Summit—Alt. 4,351 ft.—Summit of the pass. The mountains at the left are : Tupper, the group of castellated granite crags directly above the pass ; TEiermit, a rounded height; the Swiss Peaks, separated from the peaks on each side by deeply notched ravines; Rogers' Peak, across a narrow but deep gulf from Grizzly, which in turn stands opposite to the pyramidal heights of Cheops, a veritable Titan of this group, with the profile of a hatted Napoleon plainly silhouetted against that face of Cheops overlooking the vast glacial field of the whole Hermit range ; and looking out of the pass towards the west, and over the deep valley of the lllecillewaet, is Ross Peak, a massive and symmetrical mountain carrying an immense glacier on its eastern slope. Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,309 ft. This pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, five or six thousand feet above the valley, half-a- dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. In this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky.

The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen tne sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub-range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers above the railway a mile in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and-yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains apparently? were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald, Uto, Eagle and Ava- _lanche, from south to north—the rear slopes of which w.ere seen in ascending the Beaver. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park. From the summit the line follows down the valley of Bear Greek, and after leaving' the station at Rogers' Pass it clings to the base of Tupper Mountain, whose clustered spires face those of Mount Macdonald, and are nearly as high. About four miles from Rogers' Pass station the line turns to the left into the valley of the Beaver, and near Bear Greek station a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Tupper Mountain, through a gap in the cliffs on the left. This station is l,0Qp feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be, seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. They are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove-tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain's sides in Mil, Jro,l Mont!

Bear Creek—Alt. 3,673 ft—The lute now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the . steep mountain side a thousand feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, which come down many of them in splendid cascades, through narrow gorges cut deeply into « . the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mount Sir Donald, with which acquaintance was maiie at Glacier House. Opposite is a line of huge tree-clad hills, occasionally showing snow-covered heads above the timber line. Nature has worked here on so gigantic a scale that many travellers fail to notice the extraordinary height of the spruce, Douglas fir and cedar trees, which seem to be engaged in a yain competition with the mountains themselves. Cedar Six-Mile Creek Alt. 2,617 ft fi From Six-Mile Creek the line follows the left bank for a little way, then crosses to the right bank and passes through the Gate of the Beaver River—a passage so narrow that a felled tree serves as a foot-bridge over it—just where the river makes its final and mad plunge down to the level of the Columbia. Beavermouth—Alt 2,435 ft.—This is the most northerly station on the transcontinental route.

Golden and at various places above, especially at the base of the Spillimachene Mountains, gold and silver mines are being developed, which are reached by steamer in summer, weekly. Just beyond Golden the railway enters the Kicking Horse Glenogle Canon. Into Palliser this vast chasm Alt. 3,250 ft. goes the railway, crossing the river from side to side to ledges cut out of the solid rock, and twisting and turning in every direction, and every minute or two plunging through projecting angles of rock which seem to close the way. With the towering cliffs almost shutting out the sunlight, the roar of river and train being increased an hundred-fold by the echoing walls, the passage of this gorge will never be forgotten. An abrupt turn of the river reveals Mount Hunter which pushes its huge ■ mass forward like a wedge between the Ottertail and Beaver-foot ranges. At the right the highest peaks of the Ottertail Mountains rise abruptly to an immense height and looking south the Beaver-foot range extends in orderly array as far as the eye can reach.

The railway, which runs due north to Ottertail, gradually curves in a northeasterly direction, ascending the valley of the Wapta lying between the Ottertail and Van Home ranges, and enters the fiats of the Kicking Horse just before reaching Held. The scenery is grand and very large glacier bearing heights are seen at the north. Field—Alt. 4,064 ft. At Field is a charming hotel managed by the railway company —the Mount Stephen House—not far from the base of Mount Stephen, which rises 10,450 feet above the sea level and facing Mount Field. This . is a favorite stopping place for tourists, and has been recently enlarged to meet the wants of increased travel. Field combines all possible attractions for the mountain tourist. It is at the point by which is reached a great glacier field, and only, as it were, a stone's throw from ail the mysteries and wonders of an upper ice world. Trails, lead along the mountains' side and through the valley, and shelters have been erected for the convenience of visitors to this new wonderland. North of Yoho Valley are some of the highest peaks of the Rockies, rising 12,000 to 13,000 feet above the sea level. En route to the valley there is a natural bridge, and Emerald Lake, 7 miles from Field, is one of the most charming of mountain waters. Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen, is a fossil bed, rich in rare, specimens of trilobite. During the- summer Swiss guides are also stationed here to accpmpany tourists and mountain climbers. Looking down the valiey from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude of 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges.

Valley, which is sentinelled by mountains exceedingl y grand and prominent. Those on the left (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sharply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mountains, in the foreground at Laggan. On the right the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. The gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitti ng a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain (10,309 ft.), and the snow dome of Mount Ball (10,825 ft.). To the right, standing supreme over this part of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Temple (11,626 ft), the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama. This great mountain becomes visible almost from the "Divide" and is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley, which has been referred to by one writer as an "amphitheatre of scenic glory.'' The great Castle Mountain on the left, resembling a huge giant's keep, stretches its great length for several miles, with turrets, bastions and battlements, and at one spot a remarkable reproduction of a drawbridge with portcullis. Opposite is Copper Mountain, in which are said to be large deposits of ore, and beyond is Pilot Mountain, 9,650 feet, whose pyramidal peak is the only one that can be seen from both ends of the Bow Valley.

This park is a National Reservation of 5,732 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray,and Cascade rivers, Lake Minnewanka and several noble mountain ranges, and beyond the "Divide," the Yoho Valley and the country to the west and south of it. The Park is the largest in the world, being nearly half as large again as the famous Yellowstone Park in the States. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made. The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade M0™^11 (9,825 ft.); eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minnewanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian chief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of the track rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Lakes, seen just before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant snowy central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau. A little nearer, at the left, is seen the northern ench of the Bourgeau range, and still nearer, the razor-like back of Sulphur Mountain, along the side of which are the Hot Springs, and on whose summit, at 7,484 ft, an observatory has been established. The isolated bluff southward is Tunnel Mountain, While just behind the station, Mount Bundle, 9,665 ft, rises sharply, so near at hand as to cut off all the view in that direction. Plans are now arranged by means of which a collection of bears will be placed in a corral in some central location in the Park. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the Railway Company, on an eminence between the foaming falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River.

It is mpst favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanitarium and hospital in the village, and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Government. Eight miles from Banff is Lake Minnewanka, on which a fine launch has been placed. There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep (the big-horn) and' mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains and markings of mammoth pre-historic creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel. The hot springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mountain, the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes. The more important springs have been improved by the Government, and picturesque bathing houses have been erected and placed under the care of attendants. In one locality is a pool inside a dome-roofed cave, entered by an artificial tunnel; and adjacent, another spring forms an open basin of warm sulphurous water. Since the opening of the railway, these springs have been largely visited, and testimony to their wonderful curative properties is plentiful. Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by the Rev. James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. The way to it leads through beautiful valleys studded with transparent blue lakes and park-like prairie openings.

Halfway between Anthracite and Canmore, the park is left. Near Canmore Canmore Alt. 4,284 ft. are large coal mines. A striking profile of the Three Sisters is obtained, with Wind and Pigeon mountains looming up beyond.

Passing through the Gap—a nar- now passage between two vertical walls—the gateway by Pacific Imper'l Express Limited which the Bow River issues from the hills, the Kananaskis River is crossed by a high iron bridge, a little below where it joins the Bow, and the roar of the great falls of the Bow (called Kananaskis Falls) may be heard from the railway. Near it the track turns and descends the long valley between the Fairholme range on the left and the Kananaskis range opposite. The prominent peak on the right is Pigeon Mountain, and in leaving the station called The Gap, a magnificent view is obtained of Wind Mountain and the Three Sisters also on the right. At Exshaw is one of the largest cement works in Canada. There is a remark-' able contrast between the ranges in view behind. On the left are fantastically broken and castellated heights; " on the right massive snow-laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie engulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the . earth and slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and miles of breadth, and thousands of feet thick, have been pushed straight up, so that their strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (always on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position ; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side-pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are ' only colossal fragments of the original upheavals.

Extensive ranches come into view and are passed in# rapid succession as the train speeds eastward towards the fertile prairies of the great North-West. Great herds of horses are seen in the lower valleys, thousands of cattle on the terraces, while the hilltops provide grazing for flocks of sheep, making a picture r jstful, novel and interesting to one who has but a moment before passed from the Rocky ranges lying eastward hundreds of miles from the Pacific. After leaving Cochrane and again crossing the Bow, the railway line descends from the top of the last terrace, whence a magnificent view of the receding mountains is obtained, and where the foot-hills fall in successive tiers of sculptured heights from the snowy range behind them. Calgary —Alt. 3,428 ft—Pop. 22,500. This picturesque ranching city has been appropriately named the "Sirloin of Canada," and is the most important, as well as the handsomest, place between Vancouver and Brandon. It is • charmingly situated on a hill-girt plateau, overlooked by the white peaks of the Rockies, and is the centre of the trade of the northern part of the great ranching country and one of the sources of supply for the mining districts in the mountains beyond, besides rapidly developing into a large wholesale and milling centre. Excellent building materials abound in the vicinity. Lumber is largely made here from logs floated down Bow River. From Calgary, a branch line runs north to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and another branch south to Macleod, thus throwing open a new and vast country which is annually attracting settlers in large numbers. Calgary is an important station of the Mounted Police. The climate is suitable for those affected by pulmonary troubles, and a sanatorium is established here. The Irrigation Canal of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company takes water from the Bow River at Calgary, and the works of this undertaking, which are the largest in America, are well worth a visit.

The grade is up and down past Suffield and Bowell, and as Stair is approached some of the finest ranching land in America and also the largest herds of Galloway cattle in the world are to be seen. The railway descends gradually from the higher plateaus, and crosses the south branch of that river, on whose eastern bank is the town of Medicine Hat. Medicine Hat—Alt. 2,171 ft. Pop. 6000. On account of the immense flow of ■ natural gas, and many other advantages, Rudyard Kipling christened it "The town that was born lucky." It is situated in the valley of the South Saskatchewan and is the centre of a magnificent ranching and mixed farming district. A divisional point, with large railway shops, all operated by natural gas. An important station of the Royal North-West Mounted Police. There is an abund-. ance of coal all through the district, but the light, heat and power in the city is derived entirely from natural gas, which is sold to manufacturers at 5 cents per thousand cubic feet, and for domestic purposes at 13£ cents. The snowfall here is lighter, and the winter shorter than anywhere else in Canada east of the Rocky Mountains. There are four large brick plants, abbatoir, flour mills and extensive greenhouses here. The river is navigable for ' steamboats for some distance above and for 800 miles below to Lake Winnipeg. From Dunmore June.,, the Lethbridge Section leads off westerly past Lethbridge, one of the chief sources of the coal supply for the country east to Winnipeg and through the Crowsnest Pass of the Rocky Mountains to Kootenay Lake and to the mines of West Kootenay; in whose greater development it is proving a powerful factor by supplying cheap fuel for smelting purposes.

Eastward from Medicine Hat to Swift Curren t the line skirts the northern base of the Cypress Hills, which reach an altitude of 3,800 feet, and in many places are covered with valuable timber. It is impossibl e to con ceive of a better stock country than that lying between the Cypress Hills and the railway. Rich in the grasses that possess peculiar attractions for horses and cattle, the valleys and groves of timber give ample shelter all seasons of the year, and the numerous streams flowing out of the Cypress Hills afford an unfailing supply of water. The handsome profits Tealized by the stockmen testify better than words to the value of this district for cattle raising. Lakes and ponds, some fresh, some alkaline, occur at intervals. At Maple Creek, a few miles south of which Sitting Bull, the Sioux Chief, was captured by 1 a Canadian Mounted Police officer after the massacre of Custer and his American cavalrymen, are extensive yards for the shipment of cattle. The town is supported by trade with the cattle ranches, and farming is successfully carried on in the vicinity. Near the town is a North-West Mounted Police station. At Crane Creek there are several large farms, irrigated, and some of which are entirely devoted to stock raising, as many as 7,000 cattle and 500 horses being usually on a single range. The satisfactory results obtained from working farms at various points on the line proved the value of these ' lands for fajining, and resulting in attracting the attention of settlers and capitalists to this section of the country. At Gull Lake there are some farms which are entirely devoted to sheep, large numbers being usually wintered there. An irrigated meadow on the north side of the lake is worth seeing. Swift Current—Alt. 2,400 ft. Pop. 1,300. A railway divisional point, on a pretty stream of the same name.

Situated at the juncture of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, both navigable by steamboats. It has been, for many years, the chief post of the Hudson's Bay Company, which has here very extensive establishments. Winnipeg commands the trade of the vast region to the north, east and west. The city is h andsomely built, superior brick and stone being available, and has 48 miles electric railways, parks, hospital, great flour mills and grain elevators, huge abattoirs, and many notable public buildings, including Provincial and Dominion offices. The Royal Alexandra, owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, ranks amongst the finest hotels in the world. It was erected at a cost of $1,250,000, and is most handsomely decorated and furnished. The hotel is adjacent to the Company's railway station, which is a magnificent building.

Agents at all points along the line can give full information and prices of the Company's lands in the vicinity of their stations. Railway lines radiate in all directions. The Canadian Pacific Railway has two branches leading southward on either side of the Red River to Emerson and Gretna, on the United States boundary, connecting at the former point with the train service of the Soo Line to and from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Two branch lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway go southwest, one to Areola in Saskatchewan, thence through the Moose Mountain country, a section now being rapidly settled, to Regina, the other to Napinka in Southern Manitoba, connection being made at Souris and Napinka with the branch line from Brandon through to Estevan, the junction with the Soo-Pacific line, and two other branches run north and northwest; one to Selkirk, Winnipeg Beach, a summer resort, 50 miles from Winnipeg, and Gimli, and the other to Stony Mountain, Stonewall and Teulon, 39 miles north of the city. Leaving Winnipeg the Red River is crossed at St. Boniface (pop. 5,700), a distinctively French suburb of Winnipeg, though much older than the latter, and immortalized by the poet Whittier, by his reference to the " Bells of the Roman Mission," and as suggestive of devotion to the hardy voyageur as "The Angelus" to the peasant.

At Keewatin (pop. 1,400) is a mammoth flouring mill, owned and operated by ' the Lake of the Woods Milling Co., and built of granite quarried on the spot. Kenora—Pop. 7,000.—'At the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods, is an important mining centre with several large saw-mills, the product of which is shipped westward to the prairies. Kenora was formerly called Rat Portage, but a change of name was decided upon in May, 1905. It is the key to the great goldfields now being developed in its immediate vicinity and in the Rainy Lake and Seine River districts to the south, which are reached by steamer, the route lying through one of the most picturesque regions on the continent. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of water touched by the railway between the Pacific and Lake Superior. Its fisheries are very valuable, the annual shipments being large. The lake is studded with islands and ie a favorite' resort for sportsmen and pleasure seekers. Its waters break through a narro w rocky rim at Kenora and Keewatin, and fall into the Winnipeg River. From here the country - is excessively broken and the railway passes through numerous rocky uplifts.. The scenery is of the wildest description and deep, rock-bound lakes are always in pight. In fact, from Winnipeg to Fort William the railway traverses a wild, broken region, with rapid rivers and many lakes, but containing valuable forests and mineral deposits.

Wabigoon is the point of departure for the new Manitou mining region and the Lower Seine and Rainy Lake- country can be reached by this route. Steamers operate on these waters during navigation, and in winter there is a good sleigh road. Further east the Sawbill mining country is reached from Bonheur Station by government wagon road. Following the Wabigoon and Mat- tawan Rivers to Kaministikwia, the railway then follows the Kaministikwia River for some distance. Murillo is the railway station for the Rabbit Mount silver district, and 4 miles from the station are the Kakabeka Falls, where the Kaministikwia leaps from a height rivalling that of Nia gara. The falls are best reached from Fort William by railway. Fort William—Pop. 17,000.—A short distance from the mouth of the Kaministikwia River, a broad deep stream with firm banks, affording extraordinary advantages for lake traffic.

Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale (now become a . popular summer resort) may be seen in the distance. Fort William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company. The fur house of the old fort is now used as an engine house for the great coal docks and some of the largest grain elevators in the world overshadow all. There are railway workshops arid the usual buildings and sidings incident to a divisional point. Fort William is the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway lake steamship line.

The Lake with land for twenty miles around it, has been set apart by the Ontario Government as a Forest Reserve. All of the streams emptying into Lake Superior contain speckled trout in plenty, and in some of the streams, Nipigon River especially, they are noted for their large size—six pounders being not uncommon. Nipigon River, which is crossed by a fine iron bridge shortly after leaving the station, is a beautiful stream, well known to sportsmen. Everywhere on Lake Superior, white- fish and the large lake trout are common. Between Gravel and Rossport some of the heaviest work on the entire line of railway occurs, and approaching Schreiber (a divisional point and refreshment station) a chain of islands separates Lake Superior from Nipigon Bay.

This railway has been materially assisted in its traffic by some famous mineral discoveries made along this line, the chief being the Cobalt silver mines. From Lake Nipissing the railway traverses a somewhat wild and broken country with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills continue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in other places, followsthe streams and the " breaks " in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Nearing Sturgeon Falls the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon Falls is a thriving village with a saw-mill and several churches. Near Cliffe is Nipissing Junction, the junction with the Grand Trunk Railway going south by way of Lake Simcoe. Bonfield, formerly called Callander, was originally intended as the Eastern terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, to which connecting roads would run, but with the change of control from Government to Company, the transcontinental line was extended to Montreal. At Mattawa the line strikes the Ottawa River, which for many miles is the dividing line between the Provinces of Ontaro and Quebec. Mattawa (pop. 10.43 Nosbonsing Bonfield Rutherglen Eau Claire Mattawa 2,0''0) is an old fur-trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, but at present of most importance as a distributing point for the lumbering districts and agricultural country about Lake Timiskaming. From this point a branch line runs up to Timiskaming and Kipawa, from each of which famous fishing and hunting grounds may easily be reached. At Timiskaming there is steamer connection from Haiieybury, from which place canoes and guides can be procured, and an endless series of trips, unsurpassed any where, can be made including those to the peerless Tims.- gami district. From Kipawa, exploration of the beautiful lake of the same name furnishes an ideal holiday. Those who love the wild will find their every desire satisfied in this Flag Stations.

Indeed it has been said to be the most picturesque Capital in the world. Most visitors, if unprejudiced, will agree that both titles are not inapt, for Ottawa possesses charms of situation and surroundings which, coupled with the foresight which has characterized the laying out of the city, have made it one of which not only every citizen, but also every Canadian, may well be proud. A branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway extends southward to Prescott, on the St. Lawrence, where ferry connection is made with Ogdensburg, N.Y., and rail lines to New York. Leaving Ottawa the main line crosses a long iron bridge, from which a fine view of the Chaudiere Falls is obtained, and enters Hull (pop. 14,500) in the Province of Quebec and then recrosses the Ottawa river by the . Alexandra bridge to the Central Station in the heart of Ottawa. From the line of railway may be seen the matchless lumber plants of this busy annex to the capital city of the Dominion, comprising saw-mills and match and box factories of considerable magnitude, % whose products find their way to foreign as well as domestic markets. Branches of the Canadian Pacific Railway extend in a westward direction to Waltham, and up the Gatineau to Maniwaki. These two branches bring the great sporting facilities of the Gatineau within easy reach of the city dweller. From the Central Station the line follows the banks of the Rideau Canal which, with the Rideau River and Lakes connects the Capital with the City of Kingston at the foot of Lake Ontario, and crossing the Rideau River runs southeasterly past a number of small but thriving towns which have been created by the construction of the Short Line between Ottawaand Montreal.

Shortly after leaving St. Eugene, the Province of Quebec — which here extends beyond the Ottawa River—is entered. To the right of Rigaud is the Rigaud Mountain, an eminence near whose summit is.a curious deposit of small rounded boulders, covering an acre or two—a bare, desolate spot surrounded by luxurious vegetation-—to which legend gives the name of the Devil's Playground. The Lake of the Two Mountains—an expansion of the Ottawa River—is reached shortly after leaving Rigaud, and its margin skirted for over ten miles. The pretty watering- places of Hudson Heights, Hudson and Como, where many Montrealers spend the summer months, are passed. On the opposite Hudson shore of the Como LakeistheTrap- pist Monastery, Vaudreuil whose silent in- Ste. Annes mates divide their time between their religious duties and the cultivation of the soil. Vaudreuil is a picturesquely placed village at the most westerly of the five mouths of the Ottawa River which empty into the St. Lawrence. Ste. Anne de Bellevue (pop. 2,000) occupied a prominent place in the early history of Canada, and at one time there were efforts put forth to give it a greater commercial importance than the Montreal of that day. Here are the splendid buildings of the Macdonald Agricultural College. The village is prettily situated and the scenery is beautiful. Ste. Anne was once the home of the poet Moore, and is the scene of his memorable boat song. There is almost continuous settlement back of Ste. Anne in a land of orchards, and a number of summer resorts on Lake St. Louis, a widening of the St. Lawrence River, are passed in rapid succession.

A trading post was established here by the French over 250 years ago; and this was the last jilace yielded by the French to the English in 1760. For many years it was the chief centre of the fur trade. Atlantic steamships of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and other well- known lines run here. The St. Lawr'ence River and canals bring this way a large part of the trade of the Great Lakes. Numerous railway lines, mostly controlled by the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies, radiate from here in all directions. Both these companies have their principal offices and workshops here, and both have great bridges over the St. Lawrence River. The city has a far reaching trade, and great manufacturing establishments; has fine wharves of masonry, vast warehouses and grain elevators, imposing public buildings, handsome residences and superior hotels, an important addition to the latter being the Place Viger Hotel, situated at the Canadian Pacific Railway's East End Station and operated by the Company Trains for and from Ottawa, Toronto Detroit, Chicago, St. John, N.B.

O .9 3 e The shortest, quickest and most convenient connection between Winnipeg and the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, is afforded by the through Canadian Pacific Railway—Soo Line route, by way of Emerson and Glenwood. After leaving Winnipeg the line runs up the fertile valley of the Red River of the North. On either side are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now mostly under the plough. Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and the country has an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlement were reached by following the current, firstly, in voyageurs' bateaux and later in shallow- draught steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many years before the back country was opened, consequently some of these farms have been under cultivation for several generations. Fifty-five miles after leaving Winnipeg Dominion City (population 400) is reached. Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the boundary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500) the most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain to a much more prominent position in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the south. When Emerson is reached the train leaves the wheat belt of Manitoba, a part of what is rapidly becoming the greatest wheat producing country in the world. Here the train commences its journey over the Soo Line to Minneapolis and St. Paul without change.

From this Reservation southward to Alexandria the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession of well-tilled farms, of beautiful groves of magnificent timber and ot picturesque sheets of sparkling spring water. The towns are in close proximity to each other, the country being rich enough to support many busy business centres without having long distances intervene. Between Emerson and Detroit the country is far less well developed, and although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. But for fishing and shooting it stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black bass, although pike, pickerel, crappies and perch are plentiful. Throughout the country north of Detroit and through the reservations'the lakes, and there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful ; prairie chicken ar« found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. The reserves with their great tracts of standing pine are a refuge for all kinds of game. Detroit is an old established town of this section of the country, the last census giving it the credit of about three thousand people. It is far-famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes, and having within a small radius a great number of summer hotels and cottages. It is a business centre of importance, and is recognized as one of the coming cities of the State. Altona, Dent and Richville are all located advantageously in splendid farming country and are towns of great promise. Ottertail is located on the shores of the great Ottertail Lake, and already has a population of several hundred. Of Alexandria, which is quite an important town, it may be said, as of the farming country north and south, that it has seen years enough to remove from it many of the necessary marks of early rawness. In the city are well made streets with symmetrical trees, lawns well kept, and a type of residences that tells of prosperous content after strenuous years. It is completely surrounded by lakes. Lakes Victoria and Geneva lie about a mile east of the town and extend five miles north and south.

At Glenwood the new line, the shortest and quickest route from Winnipeg, the metropolis of theCanadian Northwest, to the Twin Cities, leaves the heart of the greater lake region directly south through which it has been passing, past the White Earth Indian Reservation, from the Canadian Boundary, and joins the main line, which strikes in here from the prairie country. The route is now by main line on to the Twin Cities. The lakey way in the firmament of Minnesota lakes much resembles in outline a gigantic fish-hook, with the eye at the Twin Cities, the shaft running northwest as though in ages past some titanic Thief River Falls bass had strug- gledwithit. This belt is not comparatively wide through the first hundred miles of its length out from the Twin Cities, butbroad- ens as it turns northward, a territory at once the beauty spot and the black bass preserve of the great Northwest. West of this region the country smoothes down and sobers off into the famous prairies of the Red River Valley, every foot of which is capable of furnishing its quota of wheat, corn and other cultivated crops. East the land varies fiaxkn prairie to pinery, but the Park Region itself is a territory with slightly rolling surface, where wood rimmed lakes are divided by wooded prairies and where prosperous farming has not harmed but heightened the charm of the scenery.

Eugene Consolidated, one of the largest silver-lead properties in the world. Game is abundant in the locality—both large and small— and there is capital fishing. The line closely follows the winding shores of Moyie Lake, the waters of which,' occupying the whole valley, force the railway into the mountain's sides. ' Leaving Swansea, a park-like country is entered, through which flow several streams, from some of which gold has been extracted. A northerly course is followed to Cranbrook, one of the most prettily located towns in British Columbia. Cranbrook—Alt. 2,964 ft.—Pop. 4,000. The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are i ranches and small farms. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress, being the supply point for the mines and ranches in the . vicinity. Col. Baker has here a ranch of several thousand acres. Cranbrook has already become a centre of great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crowsnest Pass Route, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in East Kootenay, having four sawmills operating within its limits. The town is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in British Columbia.

The grandeur of the mountains is not lost, and the giants of both the ranges can be viewed from the train with scarcely any obstruction. After penetrating natural park lands perfectly clear of undergrowth, the valley of the Kootenay is reached. The course has been in a southeasterly direction, and follows the Kootenay River, which is crossed at Wardner, on a magnificent Howe truss bridge. The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing, where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake. Lofty peaks and frowning precipices confront one — those of the last great range, the Rockies, the backbone of the continent. The three isolated peaks are called the " Steeples.'' The next station is Elko, which is des- Alt. 3,040 ft Morrissey Cokato fi tined to be the market town for the Tobacco Plains and. the farming settlements to the south. The utilization of the water power of the Elk at this point should make this to wn one of great importance. Beyond Elko, the Elk River is crossed, and about a mile below is the Elk River Canon, which extends for several miles. The water drops 600 feet in that distance, and being compressed between narrow vertical walls, turbulently rushes through the canon. The scenery here rivals that of the Fraser and Thompson Canons. The railway turns northeasterly, following the Elk for over 40 miles. Along the Elk thick seams of coal crop out, for here are the great coal fields of East Kootenay, which are said to be the largest undeveloped coal measures in the world.' Coal exists to the summit of the Rockies, and beyond the pass it is again found underlying vast areas. An analysis and. test of these coals have been made, and the results as shown in the Government reports prove that they compare favorably with the best coals of the same variety in' Pennsylvania. Of coking coal there is an abundance, which is proving of great importance to the smelters of British Columbia.

The coal mines are five miles to the south and ■ are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it follows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crowsnest are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distance east the summit of the Rockies is crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Columbia and Alberta, and a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, one emptying finally in Hudson Bay and one in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 feet, and beyond is Crowsnest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles. This lake is credited with being the birthplace of the zephyrs that blow across the plains, and it is known that on occasions, while the western part of the lake is still and calm, "white caps" predominate on the eastern part. The railway runs directly past "the cave"—a hole in the side of Sentinel Mountain—from which pours out a great flood. This is the source of the Middle Fork of the Old Man River, which is believed to be the outflow of a subterranean stream.

From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to-day to indicate the awful calamity which then befell it. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St John is a maritime city—the winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor, an inspection of the fine wharves and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every week day between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing that land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Yy.E Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the world over as the home of Longfellow's Evangeline.

It is eminent for its Roman Catholic institutions, and is one of the prettiest towns in the province. The chief industry is the shipment vqf lumber, and over $1,000,000 has been invested in mills and booms above the city, where logs are accumulated. There are large iron works and machine shops here, making stoves and car wheels in great numbers from the bog iron ore of the vicinity. Steamers ply daily to adjacent river villages. From Piles Junction a branch line extends to the farming district of Geandes Piles, 27 miles northward, near the great Shawinigan Falls in the St. Maurice, a stream affording fine fishing. Shawinigan Falls is now reached by a branch direct from Three Rivers. The water-power has been harnessed by an enterprising company. Eight miles below the falls is the prosperous village of Grand Mere, at which are the extensive works of the Laurentides Pulp Company.

Powerful rivers come down from the hills at frequent intervals, giving water- power to almost every village. The fishing is excellent in all of these streams and one of them (the Jacques Cartier) is a noted salmon river. All the villages are quaint and picturesque in the highest degree, and French is almost universally spoken. Portneuf (pop. 1,800) is a thriving factory town devoted principally to shoemaking and wood-pulp. Lorette is mainly a settlement of Christianized Huron Indians, founded 250 years ago.

As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lurhber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi, and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and several other lines call here in summer, and local steamers depart for the Lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers.

During two days of the voyage he will be within sight of land on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and the other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the North Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout. The passenger accommodation is all amidships, where the motion of the vessels is least felt, and is equipped with every modern appliance conducing to the comfort of travellers.

ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE f| To Japan and China (Subject to change without notice) The Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'s fast steamship service on the Pacific Ocean gives the shortest, safest and best route between Canada and the Orient, and also forms an important link in the popular "Around the World " trip. By the White Empress Line of the Canadian Pacific, tourists can easily reach either Japan or China, and visit at leisure the many attractive and curious places to be found in those countries, and they can, if they wish, continue the journey to Australia or around the world. The route from Vancouver, B.C., to Yokohoma, Japan, Shanghai, China, and Hong Kong, is 300 miles shorter than any other transpacific route, and Vancouver is several hundred miles nearer to the Atlantic than any other Pacific port. The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller is assured of safety, comfort, and pleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," "Empress of China,"and "Empress of Japan," built under- contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal Mails, are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 ft. in length, with 51 ft. breadth of beam, and are fitted with twin-screws. They are of 10,000 horse power, have triple expansion engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being added, and no expense spared in their luxurious fittings. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking Rooms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and surpass anything afloat. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity—in a word, modern marine architecture has in these palaces excelled itself. The steamship "Monteagle" (5,500" tons), is a staunchly built ship, which, owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade, has been placed on regular schedule between Vancouver and Hong Kong, and classed 100 Al at Lloyds. It has excellent accommodation for passengers, the staterooms being large, comfortable and perfectly ventilated. The dining saloons, cabins and smoking rooms are excellently equipped and are second only to those of the Canadian Pacific " Empress " steamships. This vessel is also lighted throughout by electricity and fitted with triple expansion engines.

Passengers for the "Monteagle" should embark at Vancouver. The " Monteagle," does not carry first cabin passengers. As a measure of precaution, passengers should arrange to arrive in Vancouver the day previous to the scheduled date of sailing. Connections are made at Yokohama and Kobe with steamers to and from all parts of Japan and Corea, also for North China Ports ; at Shanghai for North China, Mid- China and the Yangtse River Ports; and at Hong Kong for South China, Tonkin, Manila, the Straits Settlements, Australia. India, and Europe, via Suez. The usual stay at intermediate ports is : Yokohama, 24 hours; Kobe, 12 hours ; Nagasaki, 10 hours; Shanghai, 12 to 24 hours, according to tide. These periods may be reduced or increased, according to circumstances. Passengers should ascertain from Company's Agents at those ports the exact hours of departure. 91 CANADIAN-AUSTRALIAN ROYAL HAIL S.S. LINE (Subject to change without notice) This line was established in 1893, and has become tbe favorite ronte between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H. I. and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Aorangi, Moana, Miowera, Marama, Manuka and Makura are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpse of the dreamy native life of the Pacific is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance osf flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the h'appy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the novelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that all can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights tu be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

Twenty-four Hotjb Time.—On lines west of Fort William the twenty-four hour system of notation is used, in which the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, beginning at one o'clock in the morning. The afternoon and evening hours run from 13 to 24, and those not familiar with the system may readily reokon by adding or subtracting 12. Thus to convert ordinary p.m. time into railway time, 12 is added; and 5 in the afternoon, for instance, would be found to be 17 o'clock. To reduce the time table figure's to ordinary p.m. time, subtract 12 and thus 19.35 would be found to mean 35 minutes past 7 in the evening. The advantage of this system is that it prevents mistakes from the confusion of a.m. and p.m. in reading time tables and in the operating of the railway generally. Corrected April 25th, 1910.

It has many splendid buildings and very fine harbor from which the splendid Princess steamships of the Canadian Pacific Railway make connections to Victoria and Vancouver. Victoria—Pop. about 40,000. Capital «i British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and Deyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is like that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the handsomest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, and the C.P.R. Company have erected a palatial Empress Hotel. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses, which do a very large outfitting trade for the Yukon. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway extends northeasterly 78 miles to the great coal mines at Nanaimo, through a section in which people who have achieved independence nave taken up residence. A splendid Canadian Pacific Railway steamship connects with Vancouver— a ferriage of four hours through a beautiful archipelago. The "Princess Victoria," the fleetest boat on the Pacific, makes her round trip between Vancouver and Victoria at a speed of 18 knots.

Esquimalt Harbor, two miles from Victoria, was formerly the British naval station and rendezvous on the North Pacific, with naval storehouses, workshops, graving docks, etc. Vancouver—Pop. 100,000 — thePacific terminus of the railway and the nearest ocean port to the great wheat lands. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been made since that time. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, with cement side-walks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite,while the city's sewage system is second to none. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, N. S. W., via Honolulu, H. I., Suva, Fiji and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound, and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern gold- fields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The Canadian Pacific Railway White Empress Line, whose steamships are the finest twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Kong, making the quickest passage by from five to ten days across the North Pacific, departing every two or three weeks.

The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted for fruit growing. The electric railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at the foot of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent—the Cascade Mountains near at hand at the north; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mount Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capilano Canon, a remarkable mountain cleft, across the Inlet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance—mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the Inlet and trout-fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week at Vancouver will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like, waters of the deep-set Inlet. At inter-' vals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees with trunks of twenty, thirty and even forty feet circumference. At the eighth mile the north arm of Burrard Hastings Barnett Port Moody Inlet is seen ex tending at right angles to the railway about fifteen miles into the mountains which, black and sombre, descend about 5,000 feet sheer into the water which is almost fathomless. Shortly after passing Port Moody, which for a time was the terminus of the railway, at the head of the Inlet, the railway leaves salt water, and crossing / Flag Station Leave Reso Spo O p /11.46 Alo Bur In From Vanoouver to Yokohama, 4288; to Hong Kong, 6371; to San Franoisoo, 1133 miles ng rard let 2894 2889 2886 I 12 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE Miles from Vano'r Eastbo'd Train [Atlantic Express I Westbo'd Train STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Paoifi' j Express Miles from Montr'1 17 25 27 33 42 53 62 Leave H5.25 116.00 Fraser River •—1 ei Q Mount Baker 16.18 A6.23 17.10 Conne from Pacific poi ctions U.S. Coast nts 17.50 over a low lying ridge descends into the valley of the Fraser. At Westminster Junction (Westminster) Westminster Junc. a branch line strikes in from West min ster (pop. 13,000) on the Fraser River. The city is headquarters for the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills— the product of which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,000 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of. Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock. From Mission Hammond Haney Whonnock Mission Junc June a branch line crosses the Fraser River and runs to the international boundary line where rail connection is made with the Northern Pacific Railway from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and all Oregon and California points. This line gives through connection for all the prominent points on Puget Sound, and for Portland and San Francisco. (See Condensed Time Table.)

Chilliwack Valley is situated on the south side of the Fraser River opposite to Harrison Mills Station, and comprises over 55,000 acres of rich agricultural land and is famed for dairying, mixed farming and fruit growing. Two of the finest equipped creameries in the Dominion are operating at Chilliwack, producing over one-half million pounds of butter annually, also the largest fruit canning company in the country is now in operation there. The city of Chilliwack has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, and has the advantages of city water, telephones and electric light. Agassiz — At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government Experimental Farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodation, and the Rubv Creek country about is KUDy oreeK most interesting. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Hope—Alt. 200 ft.—Across the river from Hope is the village of the same name—a mining town and trading- post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. To the south-west may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 200 it.—Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul- de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a long way beldw and far above the town. Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succession of tunnels, enters the canon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way.

The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as "matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level, and those who pass through the canon in the month of q August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals, and the old wagon road, all of which have been abandoned for the railway. a20.35l||North Bend—Alt. 425 it.—North Bend 120.45| (a divisional point) is a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance from the station, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, built in the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Three miles above Keefers, where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice. The canon alternately widens and narrows. Indians are seen on projecting rocks down at the water's edge, spearing salmon or scooping them out with dip-nets, and in sunny spots the salmon iare drying on poles. Chinamen are seen on the occasional sand or gravel bars washing for gold ; and irregular Indian farms or villages, with their quaint and barbarously decorated || Refreshment Station gold st Leave The great canon B. /7.10 a7.00 Ind a Chin ians nd amen 2785 2769 2758 Jl TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 15 Miles from Vano'r Eastbo'd Train Atlantic Express* STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbo'd Train Paciflo Express 156 Leave Upper valley and crossing of the Fraser 22.05 Thom pson Canon 161 166 72 Fant canon s as tic cenery Gladwin Thompson Qrote for of r 178 Car dist sque ms ocks 23.13 lboo rict graveyards, alternate with the groups of huts of the Chinese. Near Kanaka the railway passes through a tunnel directly on to a cantilever bridge, and crosses to the east side of the Fraser River, which Lytton | f?llo-ws *or * about six miles to Lytton, a small trading town. Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and enters the canon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge' rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then, through breaks in the high escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Lytton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, on the river bank opposite which the first discovery of gold in British Columbia was made in 1857. Above this point the scenery becomes Drynoch very striking Alt. 700 ft. and peculiar. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, the ravines spanned by lofty bridges, and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded, cream- white slopes; next, cliffe of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive green grass slope or some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins. The strange forms and gaudy hues of the rocks and terraces, scanty of herbage, impress themselves most strongly on the memory.

Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four to ten yoke of oxen, and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrive here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley begins to widen out, and passing Wal- hachin where there is the only commercial orchard visible from the main line and through which a Mono Rail system of some ten miles is to be built, the line soon reaches Savonas atthe foot of Kamloops Lake.

The principal industries around Kamloops are cattle and horse raising and fruit growing by irrigation, The latter industry is progressing very rapidly, as this district is well adapted for all kinds of fruit culture. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper.

This ranching country is one of the garden spots of British Columbia. The people are comparatively old settlers, having come in from the Pacific Coast. About two miles east of Shuswap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached. Northward within a day caribou are abundant ; the deer shooting southward within 30 miles is very good, and on the lakes there is famous sport in deep trolling for trout. For 50 miles the line winds in and out the bending shores, while geese and ducks fly over the waters and light and shadow play upon the opposite banks. This lake with its bordering slopes gives a fine reminder of Scottish scenery. The railway in getting around it leads at different and many times, towards every one of the thirty- two points of the compass. Squilax Notch Hill Alt. ,708 ft. To avoid following the shore in all its windings, the line crosses over an intervening ridge at Notch Hill-—ascending about 600 feet along the mountain side and giving a magnificent view across the lake, its winding shores on both sides of the long and narrow sheet of water stretching far on either hand, with high mountain ridges for the opposite back ground.

This is a most remarkable body of water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high, bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand and pebbles, With alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. Tne railway crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at Sicamous Narrows. Sicamous Junc.

An excellent Canadian Pacific Railway hotel at Sicamous forms splendid headquarters for those wishing to remain over and shoot, fish or make a daylight trip through the mountains. On Shuswap Lake small craft are always obtainable. There is excellent trout fishing during the proper seasons, between April 1st and July 1st, also Sept. 15th to Nov. 1st, within a few minutes' paddle of the hotel—also at Annsty Lake near the head of Seymour Arm, and White Lake near Copper Island. Both places can easily be reached by boats, and by short trail which the railway company has cut. Grouse shooting in the fall is plentiful and there is deer shooting within a reasonable distance over the hills directly across the lake from the hotel. A branch of the railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan at the head of Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Okanagan plies to Kelowna and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the Fairview and other mining regions are reached. There is excellent accommodation at Penticton. Vernon is a charming spot and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all the kinds that the temperate zone will produce.

The two peaks southeast, seen from the main line of the railway, are Mackenzie and Tilley, and the most prominent one towards the southwest is Mount Begbie, imposing and glacier- studded. Soon after crossing the river we reach Revelstoke, the northern gateway to the great Kootenay mining camps, by which the trip through Southern British Columbia may be continued over the Crowsnest Pass Route to Coleridge on the plains east of the Rockies where that Branch joins with the main line.

A steamer makes biweekly trips of some forty miles up the river. To reach the mining I regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400 ft.) and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful, and there is excellent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan and to West Robson, whence different branches lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland and to Nelson. Nelson has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crowsnest Pass Route, which runs through East Kootenay and Southern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Coleridge on the plains of the Canadian North- West. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 60 to 69.) Leaving Revelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the first portion of which is a gorge in which the railway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart. Twin Butte—This station takes its name from the huge double summit near by, now called Mounts Mackenzie-Tilley. After passing the station, there looms up at the left the conspicuous and beautiful peak named Clachnacoodin. Albert Canyon—Alt. 2,227 ft. Just east of the station the train runs suddenly along the very brink of several remarkably deep fissures in the solid rock, whose walls rise straight up, hundreds of feet on both sides, to wooded crags, above which sharp, distant peaks cut the sky.

Passing Ross Peak Siding, the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House.

Following the sky-line of Mount Abbott which appears behind the hotel like a forested wall, the eye rests upon another lofty glacier with many peaks shooting up through the snow. This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are—Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall; the Dome, a rounded rock ; Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. To the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel not only serves as a dining station for passing trains, but also affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. Here in the heart of the Selkirks every comfort and luxury are found, and here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to accommodate the increasing tourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged. The lllecillewaet Glacier is exactly two miles away, and its slowly receding forefoot with immense crevices of abysmal depths cutting across the crystal surface, is only a few hundred feet above the level of the hotel. Several good trails have been made to it, and its exploration is practicable. A splendid view can be obtained of the Great Glacier from Glacier Crest to the left of the Great Glacier, and 3,000 feet above the hotel another view is from the trail at the foot of Sir Donald which is to Westbo'd Traill Paoifio Express TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 23 Miles from 7ano'r Eastbo'd Trains [Atlantic I Express STATIONS—Desckiptive Notes Westbo'd Trains Paoifio I ExpressI Miles from Montr'1 Ga 425 426 Leave Mount Maedolnald Leave 12.32 the right of the ice. Easy trails also lead to Marion Lake; to Mount Abbott, 1,573 feet above the valley ; to Cascade summer house, opposite the hotel high among the trees directly above the mountain torrent, seen tumbling down the green shoulder from Avalanche Peak; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the ice flow of two main branches of the glacier meet ; and to the summits of Mounts Avalanche and Abbott. Good routes have also been mapped by the guides up Eagle and Sir Donald; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named on account of a large rock figure exactly resembling an eagle perched upon the knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found south of Canada. Bears also are seen frequently in this vicinity. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summerscenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along the'slopes of the Summit Peaks, the line soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks. Selkirk Summit—Alt. 4,351 ft.—Summit of the pass. The mountains at the left are : Tupper, the group of castellated granite crags directly above the pass ; Hermit, a rounded height; the Swiss Peaks.separated from the peaks on each side by deeply notched ravines; Rogers' Peak, across the narrow but deep gulf from Grizzly, which in turn stands opposite to the pyramidal heights of Cheops, a veritable Titan of this group,with the profile of a hatted Napoleon plainly silhouetted against that face of Cheops overlooking the vast glacial field of the whole Hermit range; and looking out of the pass towards the west, and over the deep valleyofthe lllecillewaet, is Ross Peak, a massive and symmetrical mountain carrying an immense glacier on its eastern slope. Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,309 ft. This pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range.

In this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky. The tallest is Swiss Peak, so called in honour of the members of the Swiss Alpine Club who first stood upon its highest pinnacle. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks.of which Tupper and MacDonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above t he harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub-range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers above the railway a mile in almost vertical height. Its base is but astone's throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains apparently were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald, Uto, Eagle and Avalanche, from south to north—the rear slopes of which were seen in ascending the Beaver. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park. From thesummit the line follows down the valley of Bear Creek, and after leaving the station at Rogers' Pass it clings to the base of Tupper Mountain, whose clustered spires face those of Mount Macdonald, and are nearly as high. About four miles from Rogers'Pass station the line turns to the left into the valley of the Beaver, and near Bear Creek station a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Tupper Mountain, through a gap in the cliffs on the left. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance.

Bear Creek—Alt. 3,673 ft.—The line |fl5.38 now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side a thousand feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, which come down many of them in splendid cascades, through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep elopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing.in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel. 300 feet below the rails—one of tne loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where apowerful torrent comes • down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mount Sir Donald, with which acquaintance was made at Glacier House. Opposite is a line of huge tree-clad hills, occasionally showing snow-covered heads above the timber line.

As the train emerges from the canon, a magnificent view is to be had of the Rockies, rising range upon range, and extending from north-west to south-east.

The railway, which runs due north to Ottertail, gradually curves in a northeasterly direction, ascending the valley of the Wapta lying between the Ottertail and Van Home ranges, and enters the flats of the Kicking Horse just before reaching Field.

Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen is a fossil bed, rich in jare specimens of trilobite. During the summer Swiss guides are also stationed here to accompany tourists and mountain climbers. Lookiag down the valley from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. Coming from the west the road first enters the new spiral tunnel of 2,910 feet, under Wapta Mountain. Emerging from the tunnel the track runs back west across the Kicking Horse river, and then enters the corkscrew tunnel of 3,200 feet under Cathedral Mountain, and after describing an elliptic curve emerges to again run along the Kicking Horse Valley. The whole thing is a perfect maze, the railway doubling back upon itself twice, tunnelling under mountains and crossing the river twice in order to cut down the grade. Put in brief, the work which has now been completed is as follows:— Length of two tunnels, IJ miles; length of cutting outside of tunnels, 7 miles ; increase in length of track, 4J miles ; reduction in grade, from 4.5 to 2.2; approximate cost of work, $1,500,000 ; number of men employed, ~ about 1,000, with complete outfit of steam equipment. Time cf work, twenty months, from October, 1907, to July, 1909 ; 75 carloads of dynamite were used, or upwards of 1,500,000 pounds of the explosive. The cost of explosives alone came to over $250,000. During the tunnel work, for the first time in Canada, steam shovels were operated by compressed air, one of these machines was installed at the working head in each tunnel, the cutting being worked from opposite ends. Despite the complicated work caused by the spiral shape of the tunnels, they met exactly, and the work has been completed with marvellous exactness. This is not merely the greatest piece of tunnelling ever attempted in Canada, but the first introduction of this spiral system of tunnels on this continent. The result of this work is, that whereas on the old track with its big grade it took four engines to handle a train, now only two engines are needed. The four engines used to be able to only make four or five miles an hour, now the two engines are able to make twenty-five.

It is these factors which have induced the C. P. R. to go to such tremendous expense to reduce this famous 'j Big Hill I grade. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude of 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges. The scenery is sublime and overwhelming in its grandeur. The line ascends rapidly crossing the deep gorge of the Kieking Horse and skirting the Hector—Alt. 5,207 ft.

At the "Great Divide" where a sparkling stream separates into two waters, one flowing to the Pacific, and the other to Hudson Bay, the backbone of the continent is reached. The station at the summit of the Rocky Mountains, like the stupendous mountain some miles behind, one of the chief peaks of the Rockies in this latitude is named in honor of the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Those on the left (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sharply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mountains, in the foreground at Laggan. On the right the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. The .gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain (10,309 ft.), and the snow dome of Mount Ball (10,825 ft.). To the right, standing supreme over this part of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Temple (11,626 ft.), the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama. This great mountain becomes visible almost from the " Di vide'' and is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley, which has been referred to by one writer as an ''amphitheatre of scenic glory." The great Castle Mountain on the left resembling a huge giant's keep, stretches its great length for several miles, with turrets, bastions and battlements, and at one spot a remarkable reproduction of a drawbridge with portcullis.

Banff—Alt. 4,521 ft.—Station for Canadian National Park and Hot Springs. This park is a National Reservation of 5,732 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray .and Cascade rivers, Lake Minnewanka and several noble mountain ranges, and beyond the "Divide," the Yoho Valley and the country to the west and south of it. The Park is the largest in the world, being nearly half as large again as the famous Yellowstone Park in the States. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made. The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mountain (9,825 ft.); eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minnewanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian chief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of the track rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Lakes, seen just before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant snowy central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau. A little nearer, at the left, is seen the northern end of the Bourgeau range, and still nearer, the razor-like back of Sulphur Mountain, along the side of which are the Hot Springs, and on whose summit, at 7,484 ft., an observatory has been established.

Plans are now arranged by means of which a collection of bears will be placed in a corral in some central location in the Park. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the Railway Company, on an eminence between the foaming falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from May to October, and hither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanitarium and hospital in the village, and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Government. Eight miles from Banff is Lake Minnewanka, on which a fine launch has been placed. There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep (the big horn) and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains and markings of mammoth pre-historic creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel. The hot springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mountain, the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious lancl- scapei. The more important springs have been improved by the Government, and picturesque bathing houses have been erected and plac«d under the care of attendants. In one locality is a pool inside a dome-roofed cave, entered by an artificial tunnel; and adjacent, another spring forms an open basin of warm sulphurous water.

Just after leaving Bankhead the station, the train passes along a large corral of 800 acres in which are a number of buffalo, the last specimens of the monarchs of the plains.

Great herds of horses are seen in the lower valleys, thousands of cattle on the terraces, while the hilltops provide grazing for flocks of sheep, making a picture restful, novel and interesting to one who has but a moment before passed from the Rocky ranges lying eastward hundreds of miles from the Pacific. After leaving Cochrane and again crossing the Bow, the railway line descends from the top of the last terrace, whence a magnificent view of the receding mountains is obtained, and where the foot-hills fall in successive tiers of sculptured heights from the snowy range behind them. Calgary —Alt. 3,428 ft.—Pop. 32,000. This picturesque city is the most important place between Vancouver and Brandon. It is charmingly situated on a hill-girt plateau, overlooked by the white peaks of the Rockies, and is the centre of the trade of the northern part of the great ranching country and the chief sources of supply for the mining districts in the mountains beyond, besides rapidly developing into a-largo wholesale and milling centre.

The sunset over these peaks is a never- to -be - forgotten sight, the snowy caps of thejagged line of the horizon adding to the splendor of the view. The entire country is underlaid with two or more beds of good coal, and natural gas is frequently found in boring deep wells. This gas is utilized at Langevin in pumping water for the supply of the railway, and both there and at Tilley it can be seen burning brightly. Eastward and to the north and south of the railway, the entire prairie is seen to advantage, and before August it is a billowy ocean of grass. Cattle ranches are spread over it, and farms appear at intervals. The grade is up and down past Suffield and Bowell, and as Stair is approached some of the finest ranching land in America and also the largest herds of • Galloway cattle in the world are to be seen. The railway descends gradually from the higher plateaus, and crosses the south branch of that river, on whose eastern bank is the town of Medicine Hat. Medicine Hat—Alt. 2,171 ft.

Apples, plums and small fruit are quite at home here and a demonstration farm has been inaugurated by the Provincial Goverment. A divisional point, with large railway shops, all operated by natural gas. An important station of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. There is an abundance of coal all through the district, but the light, heat and power in the city is derived entirely from natural gas, which is sold to manufacturers at 5 cents per thousand cubic feet, and for domestic purposes at 13J cents. Thesnowfall here is lighter, and the winter shorter than anywhere else in Canada east of the Rocky Mountains. Therearethreelargebrick plants, abbatoir, flour mills and extensive greenhouses here.

At Maple Creek, a few miles south of which Sitting Bull, the Sioux Chief, was captured by a Canadian Mounted Police officer after the massacre of Custer and his American cavalrymen, are extensive yards for the shipment of cattle. The town is supported by trade with the cattle ranches, and farming is successfully carried on in the vicinity. Near the town is a North-West Mounted Police station. At Crane Creek there are several large farms, irrigated, and some of which are entirely devoted to stock raising, as many as 7,000 cattle and 500 horses being usually on a single range.

" 11.50|||SwiftCurrent—Alt. 2,400 ft. Pop. 1,800. A railway divisional point, on a pretty stream of the same name. Swift Current is in the centre of a very large agricultural district extending from the Cypress Hills on the south to the Saskatchewan River on the north. The soil is particularly adapted for grain farming, and the country is being rapidly filled up with American and Canadian settlers. There are now seven grain elevators and a large flour mill here. The Government has erected a Meteorological Observing Station. From Swift Current to Moose Jaw the line steadily falls on the eastern slope of the Coteau, and winds through an irregular depression to the basin of the Chaplin Lakes—formerly known as the Old Wives' Lakes— extensive bodies of alkaline water having no outlet. The northern-most of these lakes is reached at Rush Lake, a large area of fresh water and a favorite resort of waterfowl—swans, geese, ducks and pelicans—which at times congregate here in myriads. Chaplin is on a comparatively large body of water, Lake Chaplin, south of which is Lake Johnson. The country is treeless from Cypress Hills to the eastern border of the Regina plain, 200 miles but the soil is excellent nearly everywhere. The prairies about and beyond the Chaplin Lakes are marked in all directions by old buffalo trails and scarred and pitted by their "wallows." Antelope may be sometimes seen, and coyotes and prairie dogs. Moose Jaw—Alt. 1,725 ft.—Pop. 12,000. A railway divisional point and the junction with the Soo Line, the most direct line to St. Paul.

It is the key to the great goldfields now being developed in its immediate vicinity and in the Rainy Lake and Seine River districts to the south, which are reached by steamer, the route lying through one of the most picturesque regions on the continent. The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of water touched by the railway between the Pacific andLake Superior. Its fisheries are very valuable, the annual shipments being large. The lake is studded with islands and is a favorite resort for sportsmen and pleasure seekers. Its waters break through a narrow rocky rim at Kenora and Keewatin, and fall into the Winnipeg River. From here the country is excessively broken and the railway passes through numerous rocky uplifts. The scenery is of the wildest description, and deep, rock-bound lakes are always in sight. In fact, from Winnipeg to Fort William the railway traverses a wild, broken region, with rapid rivers and many lakes, but containing valuable forests and mineral deposits. At Eagle River two beautiful falls are seen, one above and the other below the railway.

Further east the Saw- bill mining country is reached from Bonheur Station by government wagon road. Following the Wabigoon and Mattawan Rivers to Kaministikwia, the railway then follows the Kaministikwia River for some distance. Murillo is the railway station for the Rabbit Mount silver district, and 4 miles from the station are the Kakabeka Falls, where the Kaministikwia leaps from a height rivalling that of Niagara. The falls are best reached from Fort William by railway. Fort William—Pop. 20,000.—A short distance from the mouth of the Kaministikwia River, a broad, deep stream with firm banks, affording extraordinary advantages for lake traffic with a waterfront of 26 miles. From the beauty of its situation, its, accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood, it has become a favorite resort for tourists, and is rapidly becoming an important commercial centre. A long promontory of basaltic rock on the opposite side of Thunder Bay, called the "Sleeping Giant," whose Indian legend takes one back to aboriginal days, terminates in Thunder Cape, behind which lies the once famous Silver Islet, which has yielded almost fabulous wealth, though now the mines becoming flooded have been abandoned. Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort William. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale (now become a popular summer resort) may be seen in the distance. Fort William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendevous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company. The fur house of the old fort is now used as an engine house for the great coal docks and some of the largest grain elevators in the world overshadow all. There are railway workshops and the usual buildings and sidings incident to a divisional point. Fort William is the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway lake steamship line. These fine steel steamships ply between here and Owen Sound. (See pages 70 to 72.) /Flag Stations Leave Leave 9.59 f 8.17 Leave Leave Central Central Time Time / 7/45 / 20.45 a 8.30 a 9.30 A.M. P.M.

Nipigon River, which is crossed by a fine iron bridge shortly after leaving the station, is a beautiful stream, well known to sportsmen. Everywhere on Lake Superior, white- fish and the large lake trout are common. Between Gravel and Rossport some of the heaviest work on the entire line of railway occurs, and approaching Schreiber (a divisional point and refreshment station) a chain of islands separates Lake Superior from Nipigon Bay. Travellers should keep in view the great sweep around Jack Fish Bay, which is particularly fine from a scenic point- of view. Jack Fish is the great coaling station for the railway on the northeast angle of Lake Superior.

The large, clear, rock-bound lakes are in places so numerous that, with their connecting arms, they form a labyrinth of waters covering great areas and offering matchless, opportunities to sportsmen and canoeists. Bear, moose and deer abound throughout this region, and the fishing in the many lakes and rivers is capital. Chapleau (pop.1,250) is another divisional point, with railway workshops and is a bright railway town Farming operations on a small scale have recently been commenced here. It is charmingly situated on Lake Kabequash- esing, the waters of which flow into James Bay. Bisco is situated on an extensive and irregular lake called Biscotasing, and has a considerable trade in furs and lumber. Cartier is a divisional point with the usual collection of sidings and railway structures. East of here there are wide intervals of good agricultural land, but timber cutting is as yet the principal industry. The lands belong to the Province of Ontario, and are open to settlers. Leaving Phelan, a good view of the high falls of the Vermilion River is to be had for a moment, the scenery from Bisco to this point being particularly fine. From Sudbury (pop. 4,000), the next place of importance, the "Soo" Branch leads off to Lake Huron and thence along its shore and the Ste. Marie River to Sault Ste.

Sudbury, too, is the junction point of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's Toronto-Sudbury Line. Within a few miles of Sudbury, and reached by two short branch lines of railway, are the most extensive copper and nickel deposits known in the world, and the vicinity has also, in the Moose Mountain Range, the largest iron range in Canada. Large quantities of the ores have been shipped from the mines, and a number of smelting furnaces are in operation near Sudbury, reducing the ores on the spot. North Bay—Pop. 6,000. The capital town of Nipissing District, situate on Lake Nipissing, an extensive and beautiful sheet of water, 90 miles long and 20 wide, with forest-clad shores and islands. Small steamers ply on the lake, and the district is much frequented by sportsmen. North Bay is a railway divisional point, with repair shops, etc. The Ontario Government Railway, known as the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, runs from here to Cobalt, Cochrane, etc., in the Timiskaming country. This railway has been materially assisted in its traffic by some famous mineral discoveries made along this line, the chief being the Cobalt silver mines. From Lake Nipissing the railway traverses a somewhat wild and broken country with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills continue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in other places, follows the streams and the " breaks " in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Nearing Sturgeon Palls the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon Falls is a thriving village with a saw-mill and several churches.

Vast quantities of lumber are made here from logs floated down from the Ottawa River and its tributaries. The city stands on high ground overlooking a wide valley, and contains many fine residences, the Royal Mint, the Victoria Museum, large hotels, etc. The stately Government buildings overshadow all. Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General, is within the city limits. Many improvements have been made in Ottawa at the cost of the Federal Government, and it is now held to be worthy of the title "The Washington of the North" and visitors agree that the title is not inapt. The driveways in and about Ottawa are unexcelled. Indeed it has been said to be the most picturesque Capital in the world.

After leaving Winnipeg the line runs up the fertile valley of the Red River of the North. On either side are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now mostly under the plough. Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and the country has an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlement were reached by following the current, firstly, in voyageurs' bateaux and later in shallow- draught steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many yearfe before the back country was opened, consequently some of these farms have been under cultivation for several generations. Fifty-five miles after leaving Winnipeg Dominion City (population 400) is reached. Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the boundary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500) the most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain to a much more prominent position in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the south. When Emerson is reached the train leaves the wheat belt of Manitoba, a part of what is rapidly becoming the greatest wheat producing country in the world.

From this Reservation southward to Alexandria the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession of well-tilled farms, of beautiful groves of magnificent timber and of picturesque sheets of sparkling spring water. The towns are in close proximity to each other, the country being rich enough to support many busy business centres without having long distances intervene. Between Emerson and Detroit the country is far less well developed, and although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. But for fishing and snooting it stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black bass, although pike, pickerel, crappies and perch are plentiful. Throughout the country north of Detroit and through the reservations the lakes, and there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful ; prairie chicken are found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. The reserves with their great tracts of standing pine are a refuge for ali kinds of game. Detroit is an old established town of this section of the country, the last census giving it the credit of about three thousand people. It is far-famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes, and having within a small radius a great number of summer hotels and cottages. It is a business centre of importance, and is recognized as one of the coining cities of the State.

Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the province becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it follows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crowsnest are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distance east the summit of the Rockies is crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Columbia and Alberta, and a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, one emptying finally in Hudson Bay and one in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 feet, and beyond is Crowsnest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles.

Directly to the left is Crowsnest Mountain, a magnificent hoary-headed giant, which rises to a height of 7,800 ft., at whose rear is a cluster of pinnacles known as the Seven Sisters. On this great isolated mountain the attention of the traveller is naturally concentrated, its splendor and beauty being one of the chi|f glories of this region of the Rockies. When first seen from Crowsnest Lake it has the appearance of a mastiff's head. Blairmore, to Coleman Blairmore Frank Hillcrest the east of which are cold sulphur springs whose waters are sought by many, is reached and beyond is a narrow defile—j' The Gap'' —through which the train finds its way to the foot-hills and the plains. To the right Turtle Mountain looms to great height, its base forming one of the walls of The Gap, and here a last view of the grand old Crowsnest Mountain is obtained. From Crowsnest Lake the line has followed the middle fork of the Crowsnest or Old Man River, with which it keeps company as a rule as far east as Macleod. East of Blairmore, the thriving town of Frank, of recent birth, is another centre of coal mining operations. At the crossing of the Middle Fork, near Burmis, is a pretty little crescent-shaped fall. To the left is Massacre Butte, the scene of a horrible tragedy thirty-two years ago, when a party of German prospectors were butchered by the Indians. The mountains to the left are the Livingston range of the Rockies, between whose base and the Porcupine Hills is a wide tract of grass country on which large herds of cattle and horses feed. In this region there has been a large influx of settlers in recent years, and agriculture as well as stock raising is carried on. Lundbreck Cowley Pincher Alt. 3,793 ft.

There is a around descent, and the line curves gradual to the south of the Porcupines, crosses many streams that seam the earth, and in which there is capital fishing, and reaches the broad Albertan plain—the home of the cowboy and the cattle king. The Rockies are paralleled for a short distance, affording magnificent views of their marvellous proportions. Victoria Peak (9,860 ft.) and Castle Mountain are prominent in the distance, and Turtle Mountain, shaping itself into a huge tortoise, is silhouetted against the sky, There is a glorious panorama spread before one—on one side the vast plains which stretch far away until earth and sky seem to meet; on the other the serrated Rockies, standing forth in all their sublimity and grandeur, piercing the very clouds. On the plains a long line of large boulders marks the existence of an ice age in prehistoric times, and directly ahead on the left are the Mounted Police quarters and the town of Macleod. |Macleod—Alt. 3,103 ft.

Throughout this region are many stock ranches and farming operations are now being largely carried on, large yields of winter wheat of good quality being produced. There is plenty of feed, shelter, and water, and the climatic conditions are most favorable for stock-raising, the mean temperature being higher than in Central Ontario, owing to the prevalence of the Chinook winds, whose moderating influences are felt nearly as far east as Medicine Hat. From Macleod a branch runs northwards to Calgary (108 miles) and to Edmonton, on the banks of the North Saskatchewan (300 miles), a district which, like Southern Alberta, is attracting a great deal of settlement.

West of Lethbridge there has been completed by the Canadian Pacific Railway, one of the most gigantic engineering works in Canada, the bridging of the Belly River and the Old Man River, replacing twenty wooden bridges by two immense steel viaducts, one 5,327.6 feet in length with a maximum height of 314 feet above the river and the other 1,900 feet in length with a height of 146 feet above the bed of the river. The cost of this work exceeded two million dollars. The former is one of the notable steel structures of the world. It required 645 cars to transport the steel used in the construction of these viaducts, and nearly one thousand cars of material were used in the building of these mammoth permanent structures. This and other important improvements prove the policy of this Company is to spare no expense to make its line the best in the world. The lands under irrigation in this region and near Lethbridge are being transformed from a range country to a farmer'8 paradise.

St. John, N.B.—Pop. 57,000.—The city of St. John was destroyed by fire in June, 1877, causing a loss of Detween $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to-day to indicate the awful calamity which then befell it. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St John is a maritime city—the winter port for the ' Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor, an inspection of the fine wharves and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every week day between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing that land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the world over as the home of Longfellow's Evangeline.

To the east and south are many small lakes in which trout are abundant. Sussex and Hampton are pretty little towns. The Petitcodiac River is followed for some distance to Moncton. An interesting feature of the river is the "Bore" of the incoming tide, when the water rushes up with great force in a huge wave, often several feet high, that fills the empty riverbed. Moncton—Population 14,000, situated on • a bend of the Petitcodiac River. It is the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway System, the chief offices and workshops, of which are located here.

It was founded in 1618, and played an important part in the early history of Canada. It is eminent for its Roman Catholic institutions, and is one of the prettiest towns in the province. The chief industry is the shipment of lumber, and over $1,000,000 has been invested in mills and booms above the city, where logs are accumulated. There are large iron works and machine shops here, making stoves and car wheels in great numbers from the bog iron ore of the vicinity. Steamers ply daily to adjacent river villages.

As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi, and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and several other lines call here in summer, and local steamers depart for the Lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINES Atlantic Service (Subjectlto change without notice) The traveller by the steamships of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'s Atlantic Service—following the shortest ocean route between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal — will find the sail on the St. Lawrence River the most attractive and interesting portion of the journey. During two days of the voyage land will be within sight on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and the other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout. The passenger accommodation is all amidships, where the motion of the vessels is least felt, and is equipped with every modern appliance conducing to the comfort of travellers.

ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE To Japan and China (Subject to change without notice) The Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'a fast steamship service on the Paoifio Ocean gives the shortest, safest and best route between Canada and the Orient, and also forms an important link in the popular "Around the World " trip. By the White Empress Line of the Canadian Pacific, tourists can easily reach either Japan or China, and visit at leisure the many attractive and curious places to be found in those countries, and can, if they wish, continue the journey to Australia or around the world. The route from Vancouver, B.C., to Yokohoma, Japan, Shanghai, China, and Hong Kong, ia 300 miles shorter than any other transpacific route, and Vancouver is several hundred miles nearer to the Atlantic than any other Pacific port. The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller is assured of safety, comfort and pleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," "Empress of China,"and "Empress of Japan," built under contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal Mails, are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 ft. in length, with 51 ft. breadth of beam, and are fitted with twin-screws. They are of 10,000 horse power, have triple expansion engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being added, and no expense spared in their luxurious fittings. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking Rooms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and very comfortable. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity, and have all. modern appliances and conveniences. The steamship " Monteagle" (5,500 tons), is a staunchly built ship, which, owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade, has been placed on regular schedule between Vancouver and Hong Kong, and classed 100 Al at Lloyds. It has excellent accommodation for passengers, the staterooms being large, comfortable and perfectly ventilated. The dining saloons, cabins and smoking rooms are excellently equipped and are second only to those of the Canadian Pacific " Empress " steamships. : This vessel ia also lighted throughout by electricity and fitted with triple expansion engines.

LINE (Subject to change without notioa) This line has become the favorite route between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H. I. and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Aorangi, Moana, Marama, Manuka and Makura are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpse of the dreamy native life of the Pacific is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the novelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that many can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific. | INTENDED SAILINGS—NORTHBOUND NAME OF STEAMSHIP MAKURA.

Train times shown herein are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice. Steamship sailings herein are weather permitting; and for river, gulf, lake and ferry steamers are during seuson of navigation only. Ferry at Prescott and Detroit, and steamship sailings from "Vancouver, Victoria and San Francisco and Pacific Coast are all the year. Twenty-fouk Houb Time.—On lines west of Fort William the twenty-four hour system of notation is used, in which the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, beginning at one o'clock in the morning. The afternoon and evening hours run from 18 to 24, and those not familiar with the system may readily reckon by adding or subtracting 12. Thus to convert ordinary p.m. time into railway time, 12 is added ; and 5 in the afternoon, for instance, would be found to be 17 o'clock. To reduce the time table figures to ordinary p.m. time, subtract 12 and thus 19.35 would be found to mean 35 minutes past 7 in the evening. 1 Ke advantage of this system, is that it prevents mistakes from the confusion of a.m. and p.m. in reading time tables and in the operating of the railway generally.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is like that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the finest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. have erected a palatial Empress Hotel now open for guests. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses, which do a very large outfitting trade for the Yukon. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway extends northeasterly 78 miles to the great coal mines at Nanaimo, through a section in which people who have achieved independence have taken up residence. A splendid Canadian Pacific Railway steamship connects . with Vancouver—a ferriage of four hours through a beautiful archipelago The "Princess" steamships are the fleetest boats on the Pacific coast.

From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been erected since that . time. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, with cement sidewalks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite, while the city's sewage system is second to none. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, H.I., Suva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern goldfields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors. The Canadian Pacific Railway White Empress Line, whose steamships are the finest twin-screw vessels on the Pacific, takes the shortest, safest and most pleasant route to Yokohama, Additional steamship leaves Vancouver for Victoria and Seattle 10.00 a-m. daily except Tuesday ; for Seattle direct on Tuesday 10.00 a-m.

At Hong Kong passengers make connection with steamers of the Peninsular & Oriental S.N. Co., North German Lloyd and Messageries Maritimes Lines, for Colombo and other points on the Around the World route, with steamers of the China Navigation Co., the Eastern & Australian Navigation Co., and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, which ply between Hong Kong and Australia. Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line bail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted to fruit growing. The electric railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at the foot of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent—the Cascade Mountains near at hand at the north ; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mount Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent-public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capilano Canyon, a remarkable mountain cleft across the Inlet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance—mountain goats, bear and deer in the Hills along the Inlet and trout-fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week at Vancouver will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set Inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees with trunks of twenty, thirty and even forty feet circumference.

The city is headquarters for the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills— the product of which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,< 00 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock.

Chilliwack Valley is situated on the south side of the Fraser River opposite to Harrison Mills5; Station, and comprises over 55,000 acres of rich agricultural laud and is famed for dairying, mixed farming and fruit growing. Two of the finest equipped creameries in the Dominion are operating at Chilliwack, producing over one-half million pounds of butter annually, also the largest fruit canning company in the province is now in operation there. The city of Chilliwack has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, and has the advantages of city water, telephones and electric light. Agassiz — At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government Experimental Farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodation, and the country about is most interesting. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Hope—Alt. 200 ft. Across the river from Hope is the village of the same name—a mining town and trading- post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. To the south-west may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 200 ft.— Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 18t>3-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul- de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a | flag S aiious, Ruby Creek Leave Leave f20.12 19.52 5.01 19.30 Harr Spri ison ngs f 19.05 /1S45 Hope Peak 18.15 Begin the ca ning of nyons | E 2846 2837 2828 2817 2809 2796 14 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE Miles from Vanc'r Eastbo'd Train Torontol Imper' I Ex ress Limited STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbo'd Train MUeB Imper'li Vano'r L^Jfl.

Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succehsionoftunnels,entersthecanyon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses therailway many times in the next 12 miles, till we reach Spuzzum where it passes to the op- Spuzzum posite side of the river by a most picturesque suspension bridge, and runs thence to Boston Bar (about 12 miles) through one continuous canyon. The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as " matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are piercedby tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canyon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level, and those who pass through the canyon in the month of August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest pieparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals, and the old wagon road, all of which have been abandoned for the railway. North Bend—Alt. 495 ft —North Bend (a divisional point) is a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canyon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance from the station, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canyon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, builtin the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention al 1 al ong the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Three miles above Keefers where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice. The canyon alternately widens and narrows.

Chinamen are seen on the occasional sand or gravel bars washing for gold ; and irregular Indian farms or villages, with their quaint and barbarously decorated graveyards, alternate with the groups of huts of the Chinese. Near Kanaka the railway passes through a tunnel directly on to a cantilever bridge, and crosses to the east side of the Fraser River, which Lvtton ** follows for * about six miles to Lytton, a small trading town. Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and enters the canyon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then, through breaks in thehigh escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Lytton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, on the river bank opposite which the first discovery of gold in British Columbia was made in 1857.

The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, the ravines spanned by lofty bridges, and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emerald. Sometimes the banks are rounded, cream- white slopes ; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive-green grass slope, or some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins.

Two miles beyond Spatsum ¥,y\que th® p hills press close upon the Thompson River, which cuts its way through a winding gorge of almost terrifying gloom and desolation, fitly named the Black Canyon. Emerging, the train follows the river as it flows swiftly among the round-topped, treeless and water-cut hills. Ashcroft has developed into a busy town, being the point of.departure for Cariboo, and other gold fields in the northern interior of British Columbia. Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four to ten yoke of oxen and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrive here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley begins to widen out, and passing Wal- hachin, where there is the only commercial orchard visible from the main line and through which a Mono Rail system of some ten miles is to be built, the line soon reaches Savona at the foot of Kamloops Lake. From Port Moody to this point the railway was built by the Dominion Government and transferred to the Company in 1886. From Savona Walhachm ti,e iine f0u0ws Savona the south snore of Kamloops Lake for about twenty miles. It is a beautiful hill-girt sheet of water. Quicksilver mines, which it is hoped will prove of great value, can be seen on the opposite shore of the lake. Near Cherry Creek a series of mountain spurs project into the lake and are pierced by numerous tunnels one following the other in quick succession. On one of these spurs a deposit of magnetic iron ore was discovered," from -which large quantities have been, and still are being, shipped. f 19.02 Tranquille aVd.25a 5.501| Kam loops—Alt. 1,160 feet.—Pop. 4,000. / 19.352 6.00 Divisional point and principal town in the Thompson River Valley, operating I Refreshment Stations /Flag Leave 24.20 14.53 2720 The Nicola River f 14.26 The BI ack Can yon 2708 23.21 13.50 2695 Kamloops La ke f22.21 /13.14 12.58 2680 2673 /12.441 2668 /12.311 2662 /12.16 2656 J21.25U1.55 2648 a21.15all.45 Stations _Ml TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 17 Miles from 'Vano'r Eastbo'd Train Toronto Imper'l Express Limited' Leave Leave STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Forks Thom of the pson Kam 268 284 /20.08 /20.37 Farm cattle loops s and herds Shns La and the Gr eat wap kes ir sports its own water and electric light plants, begun yearsago around a Hudson' sBay post. The north fork of the Thompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and here joins the main river. It is a beautiful spot, whose dry invigorating climate makes it apre- eminently desirable resort for sufferers from pulmonarv troubles. The broad valley 8 intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hills, and streams. Steamboats are on the river, and sawmills briskly at work, Chinese labor being largely employed. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by Mount St. Paul. The principal industries around Kamloops are cattle and horse raising and fruit growing by irrigation. The latter industry is progressing very rapidly, as this district is well adapted for all kinds of fruit culture. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the' Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper. Thence the rail- Ducks way follows up Shuswap the valley of the South Thompson River and the eye is gladdened by the sight of grass, fenced fields, growing crops, hay stacks, and good farm houses on the level surface, while herds of cattle, sheep and horses roam over the valley and bordering hills in large numbers. This ranching country is one of the garden spots of British Columbia. The people are comparatively old settlers, having come in from the Pacific Coast. About two miles east of Shuswap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached. Northward within a day caribou are abundant; the deer shooting southward within 30 miles is very good,and on the lakes there is famous sport in deep trolling for trout. For 50 miles the line winds in and out the bending shores, while geese and ducks fly over the waters and light and shadow play upon the opposite banks. This lake with is bordering slopes gives a fine reminder of Scottish scenery. The railway in getting around it leads, at different and many times, towards every one of the thirty-two points of the compass. f Flag Stations.

To avoid following the shore in all its windings, the line crosses over an intervening ridge at Notch Hill—ascending about 600 feet along the mountain side and giving a magnificent view across the lake, its winding shores on both sides of the long and narrow sheet of water stretching far on either hand, with high mountain ridges for the opposite back ground. The line then gradually runs down hill until it reaches the level of the water, at Salmon Arm, which it runs entirely round, and then goes for a long distance entirely along the southern shore of the Salmon Arm Canoe uton lake. This is a mostremarkable body of water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys like a. huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high, bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand and pebbles, with alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The railway crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at Sica- Sicamous Junc. I ™us Narrows, Alt. 1,156 ft. fwrnou* June. is the station for the mining and agricultural districts to the south where there is large settlement. An excellent Canadian Pacific Railway hotel at Sicamous forms splendid headquarters for those wishing to remain over and shoot, fish or make a daylight trip through the mountains. On Shuswap Lake small craft are always obtainable. There is excellent trout fishing during the proper seasons, between April 1st and July 1st, also Sept. 15th to Nov. 1st, within a few minutes' paddle of the hotel—also at Annsty Lake near the head of Seymour Arm, and White LaktMiparC pper Island. Both places can easily be reached by boat, and by short trail which the rail way company has cut. Grouse shooting in the fall is plentiful and there is deer shooting withiu a reasonable distance over the hills directly across the lake from the hotel. A subdivision of the railway runs to Vernon and Okanagan at the head of Lake Okanagan, a magnificent sheet of water on which the steamer Okanagan plies to Kelowna and to Penticton, at the foot of the lake, from which the Fairview and other mining regions are reached.

Vernon is a charming spot, and the whole country is a veritable earthly paradise. Near Kelowna, on the lake shore, thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all the kinds that the temperate zone will produce. Further down the lake are Peachland and Summerland, which are becoming favorite resorts. This is a land of vineyards and orchards, as well as a Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, deer, bighorn and mountain goat. On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses. From Sicamous Junction the transcontinental line ascends the valley of Eagle River, which cuts through the Gold Range and is filled throughout with a dense growth of immense trees —spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar, balsam and many other varieties— giants all of them. At Craigellachie Malakwa the last spike was driven in the Canadian Pacific Railway the Craigellachie Alt. 1,450 ft. on Nov. 7, 1885—the rails from east and the west meeting here. Following up the valley, four beautiful lakes occur in close succession, Griffin, Three Valley, Victor and Summit, each occupying the entire width of the valley and forcing the railway into the mountain sides. The highest Three Valley Alt. 1,900 ft. Clanwilliam Alt. 1,996 ft, point reached in Eagle Pass is at Summit Lake, where the valley is so deep cut and direct that it seems to have been purposely provided for the railway. The fine descends 525 feet in the next eight miles to the Columbia River. The two peaks southeast, seen from the main fine of the railway, are Mackenzie and Tilley, and the most prominent one towards the southwest is Mount Begbie, imposing and glacier- studded. Soon after crossing the river we reach Revelstoke, the northern gateway to the great Kootenay mining camps, by which the trip through Southern British Columbia may be continued over the Crowsnest Pass Route to Dunmore on the plains east of the Rockies where connection is made wit the main line.' f Flag Stations.

A fine tourist resort— fishing, hunting, boating and mountain climbing can be enjoyed here. Mount Revelstoke, immediately north of the city, can be climbed by the Lind- mark Trail, from which a magnificent view of glaciers, mountain peaks, valleys and rivers are obtained. On the summit of this mountain is one of the most beautiful AlpineParks to be found anywhere. A comfortable chalet has been provided for the accommodation of tourists. Fish and game are abundant in the vicinity. The Columbia, which makes a great detour from the east around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway cuts directly across, is here much larger than at Donald, from which it has fallen 1,071 feet, and 28 miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. A steamer makes biweekly trips of some forty miles up the river. To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10.400ft.), and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful,and there is excel lent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan and to West Robson, whence different subdivisions lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland and t o Nelson. Nelson has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crowsnest Pass Route, which runs through East Kootenay andSouth- ern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Dunmore on the plains of Western Canada. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 60 to 69.) Leaving Revelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the first portion of which is a gorge in which the railway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart.

Just east of the station the train runs suddenly along the very brink of several remarkably deep fissures in the solid rock, whose walls rise straight up, hundreds of feet on both sides, to wooded crags, above which sharp, distant peaks cut the sky. The most striking of these canyons is the Albert, where the river is seen nearly 150 ft. below the railway, compressed into a boiling flume scarcely 20 ft. wide.

About Ross Peak station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Caribou occur in numbers from here down to the Columbia. Passing Ross Peak Siding the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line may be had of the . peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House. Glacier House—Alt. 4,093 ft. Station and hotel are within thirty minutes' walk of the lllecillewaet Glacier, from which, at the left, Sir Donald (10,808 ft.) rises a naked and abrupt pyramid, to a height of a mile and a quarter above the railway. This stately monolith was named after Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Rogers' Pass and the snowy mountain beyond (a member of the Hermit range, which is called Grizzly, from the frequency with which bears are met upon ite berry-bearing slopes) are in full view. Again to the left, at the west end of Hermit Range, on the south side of Bear Creek, comes Cheops, and in the foreground, far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens across the valley. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel, which is called Abbott. Between Ross and Abbott in the background is an enormous wall of snow. This is the Mount Bonney Glacier. To the right of Ross, between Ross and Cheops, a glimpse is caught of the Cougar Valley where are the wonderful cavesof Nakimu (Indian for ''Grumbling Caves"). These caves, whose recesses have not be»-n fully explored, contain many chambers, some of which are of surprising beauty. Roads are being constructed by which they will be made easy ot access. Following the sky line of Mount Abbott which appears behind the hotel like a forested wall, the eye rests upon another lofty glacier with many peaks shooting up through the snow. This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the Alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are—Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall ; the Dome, a rounded rock ; Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. To the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel not only serves as a dining station for passing trains, but also affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. Here in the heart of the Selkirks every comfort and luxury are found, a"n i here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature.

The lllecillewaet Glacier is exactly two miles away, and its slowly receding forefoot with immense crevices of abysmal depths cutting across the crystal surface, is only a few hundred teet above the level of the hotel. Several good trails have been made to it, and its exploration is practicable. A splendid view can be obtained of the Great Glacier from Glacier Crest to the left of the Great Glacier, and 3,000 feet above the hotel another view is from the trail at the foot of Sir Donald which is to the right of the ice. Easy tra-ls also lead to Marion Lake; to Mount Abbott, 1,573 feet above the val'ey ; to Cascade summer house, opposite the hotel high among the trees directly above trie mountain torrent, seen tumbling djwn the yreen shoulder from Avalanche Peak ; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the ice flow of two main brahches of the glacier meet; and to the summits of Mounts Av4anche and Abbott. Good rout s have also been mapped b v the guides up Eagle and Sir Donald; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named on account of a la^ge rock figure exactly resembling an eagl'j perched upon the knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found south of Canada. Bears also are seen frequently in this vicinity. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along tv e slopes of the Summit Peaks, the. line soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks.

The mountains at the left are: Tupper, the group of castellated granite crags directly above the pass; Hermit, a rounded height; the Swiss Peaks, separated from the peaks ou each side by deeply notched ravines; Rogers' Peak, across the narrow but deep gulf from Grizzly, which in turn stands opposite to the pyramidal heightsof Cheops, a veritable Titanof this group, with the profile of a hatted Napoleon plainly silhouetted against that face of Cheops overlooking the vast glacial field of the whole Hermit range; and looking out of the pass Westbo'd Train Imper'l Vanc'r Limited Express Miles from Montr' 1 Ga Thes of Selk Overlo the of Illecill ummit the irks oking gorge the ewaet 2474 24 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE Miles from Vanc'r Eastbo'd Train Toronto Imper'l Express Limited STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbo'd Train Mi]eB Imper'll Vano'r „trollH Limited Express Montr 1 426 Leave Leave 3.40 15.09 Mo unt Macd onald T Her Ra Exit Roger Bear he mit nge from s' Pass Creek towards the west, and over the deep valley of the lllecillewaet, is Ross Peak, a massive and symmetrical mountain carrying an immense glacier on its eastern slope. Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,309 ft. This pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two. lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, five or six thousand feet above the valley, half-a- dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. In this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky. The tallest is Swiss Peak, so called in honor of the members of the Swiss Alpine Club who first stood upon its highest pinnacle. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers above the railway a mile in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense "f immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless . mountains apparently were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald, Uto, Eagle and Avalanche, from south to north—the rear slope of which were seen in ascending the Beaver. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park. From the summit the line follows down the valley of Bear Creek, and after leaving the station at Rogers' Pass it clings to the base of Tupper Mountain, whose clustered spires face Leave 12.30 Peaki glaeie Leave 3.40 and re in Roger s" Pass Mo Macd A Na Ret unt onald tional. erve 2473 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE ,,., Eastbo'd Trains iMiles [ I from TorontoI Imper'l no r |Express|Limited; STATIONS—Descriptive Notes 43: Leave Des of Beaver Superb of Selk Leave he sheds cent the Val It view the irks Beaver Valley Big Trees those of Mount Macdonald, and are nearly as high. About four miles from Rogers' Pass station the line turns to the left into the valley of the Beaver, and near Bear Creek station a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Tupper Mountain, through a gap in the cliffs on the left. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the. west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. They are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove-tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain's sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrible avalanche. Bear Creek—Alt. 3,673 ft.—The line now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side a thousand feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, which come down many of them in splendid cascades, through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificient picture of mountains, that tliey named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mount Sir Donald, with which acquaintance was made at Glacier House.

The line soon turns abruptly to the right, and ascends the valley of the Columbia River, clinging to the sides of the hills, where the Selkirks and the Rockies,, crowding together, force the river through a deep and narrow gorge. As the train emerges from the canyon, a magnificent view is to be had of the Rockies, rising range upon range, and extending from north-west to south-east.

Trails lead along the mountains' side and through the valley, and shelters have been erected fo - the convenience of visitors to this new wonderland of the Yoho Valley. Here are some of the highest peaks and finest scenery in the Rockies. En route to the valley there is a natural bridge, and Emerald Lake, 7 miles from Field, is one of the most charming of mountain waters. Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen is a fossil bed, rich in rare specimens of trilobite. During the summer Swiss guides are stationed here to accompany tourists and mountain climbers. Looking down the valley from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. Coming from the west the road first eniets the new spiral tunnel of 2,910 feet, under Mount Ogden. Emerging from the tunnel the track runs back west across the Kicking Horse river, and then enters the corkscrew tunnel of 3,200 feet under Cathedral Mountain, and alter describing an elliptic curve emerges to again run along the Kicking Horse Valley. The whole thing is a perfect maze, the rail way doubling back upon itself twice, tunnelling under mountains and crossing the river twice in order to cut down the grade. Put in brief, the work which has now been completed is as follows :— Length of two tunnels, 1£ miles; length of cu ting outside of tunnels, 7 miles ; increase in length of track, 4\ miles ; reduction in grade, from 4.5 to 2.2; approximate cost of work, $1 ,">0u,000 ; number of men employed, about 1,000, with complete outtit of steam equipment. Time of work, twenty months, from October, 19U7, to July, 1909 ; 75 carloads of dynamite were used, or upwards of 1,500,000 pounds of the explosive. The cost of explosives alone came to "over $250,000. During the tunnel work, for the first time in Canada, steam shovels were operated by compressed air, one of these, machines was installed at the working head in each tunnel, the cutting being worked from- opposite ends. Despite the complicated work caused by the spiral shape of the tunnels, they met exactly, and the work has been completed with marvellous exactness.

The result of this work is, that whereas on the old track with its big grade it took four engines to handle a train, now only two engines are needed. The four engines used to be able to only make four or five miles an hour, now the two engines are able to make twenty-five. In this way the cost of operating a train over this difficult piece of line is cut to about one-third of the old cost, with an improvement in the time of running, while the element of danger inseparable from high grades, has been practically eliminated. It is these factors which have induced the C. P. R. to go to such tremendous ^expense to reduce this famous "Big Hill" grade. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude . of 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges. The scenery is sublime and overwhelming in its grandeur. The line ascends rapidly crossing the deep gorge of the Kicking Horse and skirting the Hector—Alt. 5,207 ft. beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector. At the "Great Divide" where a' sparkling stream separates into two waters, one flowing to the Pacific and the other to Hudson Bay, the backbone of the continent is reached. The station at the summit of the Rocky Mountains, like the stupendous mountain some miles behind, one of the chief peaks in the Rockies in this latitude is named in honor of the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Shelters have recer.tly been constructed for the accommodation of tourists. They are within easy distance of the chalet, and are of especial benefit to amateur photographers who delight in catching the lights and shadows of the superb views of the locality. To enable visitors to climb and explore in safety^ the Canadian Pacific Railway brings from Switzerland a number of Alpine guides of the very highest class. One of these is always stationed at Lake Louise. The others will be found at Field, Emerald Lake and Glacier. Here a splendid monument has been erected to Sir James Hector, the explorer. The railway runs down the for- ested Bow Alt. 4,720 ft. Valley, which is sentinelled by mountains exceedingly grand andprominent. Those on the left (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sharply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mountains, in the foreground On the right the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. The gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain (10,309 ft.), and the snow dome of Mount Ball (10,825 ft.). To the right, standing supreme over this' part of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Temple (11,626 ft.), the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama. This great mountain becomes visible almost from the "Divide" and is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley,' which has been referred to by one writer as an "amphitheatre of scenic glory."

This mountain has a remarkable cave which can be entered for 160 feet, where a chimney-like aperture gives a glimpse of the sky. The cave is 1,500 feet above the valley. Banff—Alt. 4,521 ft.—Station for Canadian National Park and Hot Springs. This park is a National Reservation of 5,732 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray and Cascade rivers, Lake Minnewanka and several noble mountairi ranges, and beyond the "Divide," the Yoho Valley and the country to the west and south of it. The Park is the largest in the world, being nearly half as large again as the famous Yellowstone Park in the States. No part of the Rockies I exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made. The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mountain (9,825 ft.) ; eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minnewanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian chief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of the track rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Lakes, seen just before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant snowy central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau.

Near the station is a large corral of 800 acres in which are about 100 buffalo. In well-constructed cages are specimens of the various wild animals found in the Rocky Mountains. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the Railway Company, on an eminence between the forming falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from May to October, and hither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walkmg or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanatorium and hospital in the village, and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Gov* rnment. Eight miles from Banff is Lake Minnewanka, on which a fine launch has been placed. There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep ithe big horn) and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains'and markings of mammoth pre-hi-toric creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel.

Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by the Rev. James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. The way to it leads through beautiful valleys studded with transparent blue lakes and park-like prairie openings. Just after leaving Bankhead the station, the | train passes along a large corral of 800 acres already described. The railway skirts the base of Cascade Mountain and follows Cascade Creek until after Anthracite is passed, «hen it rejoins the Bow. Halfway between Anthracite and Canmore, the park is left.

The jaggedness of profile observed is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and miles of breadth and thousands of feet thick, have been pushed straight up, so thattheir strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (al ways on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position ; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side-pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheave!". This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has disappeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can maintain a foothold, and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admirable features of the scenery.

The area embraced in the scheme is three million acres, lying on both sides of the Shepard Langdon Cheadle Strathmore Namaka Stobart Gleichen valley of railway tracks east of Calgary. Approaching Shepard, the' foothills are left behind, and at Langdon, there are some large cattle ranches. Here the railway leaves the Bow River. From the Shepard to Gleichen the line traverses the western section of the Canadian Pacific Company's 3,000,000 acres irrigation project and the canal and ditches are crossed at several points. The farms which will be cultivated by this method of irrigation are seen on each side of the track and at Gleichen and Strathmore the Experimental Irrigation Farms are located close to the line and the results from the application of water in growing crops and trees may be noted. At Gleichen (Alt. 2,900 ft.) pop. 500, a last receding view of the Rockies may be had by the traveller as he is carried toward the rising sun. The altitude at this point is 2,900 ft. At Namaka is another farm of the Canadian Land and Ranch Company. The Company has 1,600 acres under crop here and excellent -harvests are reaped.

The entire country is underlaid with two or more beds of good coal, and natural gas is frequently found in boring deep wells. This gas is utilized at Langevin in pumping water for the supply of the railway, and both there and at Tilley it can be seen burning brightly. Eastward and to the north and south of the railway, the entire prairie is seen to advantage, and before August it is a billowy ocean of grass. Cattle ranches are spread over it, and farms appear at intervals. The grade is up and down past Suffield and Bowell, and as Redcliffe is approached some of the finest ranching land in America and also the largest herds of Galloway cattle in the world are to be seen. The railway descends gradually from the higher plateaus, and crosses the south branch of that river, on whose -eastern bank is the town of Medicine Hat. Medicine Hat—Alt. 2,171ft. Pop.6000. On account of the immense flow of natural gas, and many other advantages, Rudyard Kipling christened it " The town that was born lucky." It is situated in the valley of the South Saskatchewan and is the centre of a magnificent mixed farming district. Apples, plums, and small fruit are quite at home here and a demonstration farm has been inaugurated by the Provincial Government. A divisional point, with large railway shops, all operated by natural gas. An important station of the Royal North- West Mounted Police. There is an abundance of coal all through the district, but the light, heat and power in the city is derived entirely from natural gas, which is sold to manufacturers at 5 cents per thousand cubic feet, and for domestic purposes at \.3\ cents. The snowfall here is lighter, and the winter shorter than anywhere else in Canada east of the Rocky Mountains. There are three large brick plants, abattoir, flour mills and extensive greenhouses.

Eastward from Medicine Hat to Swift Current the line skirts the northern ba-e of the Cypress Hills, which reach an altitude of 3,800 feet, and in many places are covered with valuable timber. It is impossible to conceive of a better stock country than that lying between the Cypress Hills and t5e railway. Rich in the grasses that possess peculiar attractions for horses and cattle, the valleys and groves of timber give ' ample shelter all sjasons of the year, and the numerous streams flowing out of the Cypress Hi.Is afford an unfading supply of water. The handsome profits realized by the stockmen testify better than words to the * alue of this district for cattle raising. Lakes and ponds, some fresh, some alkaline, occur at intervals. At Maple Creek, a few miles south of which Sitting Bull, the Sioux Chief, was captured by a Canadian Mounted Police officer after the massacre of Custer and his American cavalrymen, are extensive yards for the shipment of cattle. The town is supported by trade with the cattle ranches, and. farming is successfully carried on in the vicinity. Near the town is a North-West Mounted Police station.

The Government has erected a Meteorological Observing Station. From Swift Current to Moose Jaw the line steadily falls on the eastern slope of the Coteau, and winds through an irregular depression to the basin of the Chaplin Lakes—formerly known as the Old Wives' Lakes— Large extensive bodies of alkaline water having no outlet. The northern-most of these lakes is reached at Rush Lake, a large area of fresh water and a favorite resort of waterfowl—swans, geese, ducks and pelicans—which at times congregate here in myriads. Chaplin is on a fcom- paratively large body of water, Lake Chaplain, south of which is Lake Johnson.

After leaving Winnipeg the line runs up the fertile valley of the Red River of the North. On either side are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now mostly under the plough. . Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and. the country has an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlement were reached by following the current, firstly, in voyageurs' bateaux and later in shallow- draught steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many years before the back country was opened consequently some of the farms have been under cultivation for several generations. Fifty-five miles after leaving Winnipeg Dominion City (population 400) is reached. Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the boundary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500) the most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain to a much more prominent position in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the south. When Emerson is reached the train leaves the wheat belt of Manitoba, a part of what is rapidly becoming the greatest wheat producing country in the world. Here the train commences its journey over the Soo Line to Minneapolis and St. Paul without change.

From this Reservation southward to Alexandria the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession of well-tilled farms, of beautiful groves of magnificent timber and of picturesque sheets of sparkling spring water. The towns are in close proximity to each other, the country being rich enough to support many busy business centres without-having long distances intervene. Between Emerson and Detroit the country is far less well developed, and although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. But for fishing and shooting it stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black bass, although, pike, pickerel, crappias and perch are plentiful. Throughout the country north i f Detroit and through the reservations the lakes, and there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful ; prairie chicken are found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. The reserves with their great tracts of standing pine are a refuge for all kinds of game. Detroit is an old established t' wn of this section of the country, the last census giving it the credit of about three thousand people. It is far-famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes, and having within a small radius a great number of summer hotels and cottages. It is a business centre- of importance, and is recognized as one of the coming cities of the State. Altona, Dent and Richville are all located advantageously in splendid farming country and are towns of great promise. Ottertail is located on the shores of the great Ottertail Lake, and already has a population of several hundred. Of Alexandria, which is quite an important town, it may be said, as of the farming country north and south, that it has seen years enough to remove from it many of the necessary marks of early rawness. In the city are well made streets withsymmetrical trees, lawns well kept, and a type of residences that tells of prosperous content after strenuous years. It is completely surrounded by lakes. Lakes Victoria and Geneva lie about a mile east of the town and extend five miles north and south.

From West Robson,the Columbia & Kootenay subdivision of the Canadian Pacific parallels on the north bank the Lower Kootenay, which flows in turbulent rapids from Kootenay Lake to the Columbia, which it enters just below Robson. The Kootenay is a magnificent trout stream, and yearly at- Slocan Junction tracts large numbers of anglers. Bonnington Falls, near Slocan Junction, is a grand waterfall, whose power has been harnessed by an electric company which supplies both light and power to the mines of Rossland and elsewhere.

Nelson (population 7,500), has an electric street car system, fine hotels, churches, schools and several public buildings, and is rapidly progressing. Its commerce is steadily expanding. The Hall Mines' Smelter is here, and the company's mines are on Toad Mountain, four miles away, and connected by aerial tramway for carriage of ore. Nelson is situated on an arm of KootenayLake,and in the locality excellent shooting and fishing are to be had. The Canadian Pacific Railway has a houseboat, which can be chartered by parties for an outing.

A northerly course is followed to Cranbrook, one of the most prettily located towns in British Columbia. Cranbrook—Alt. 2,964 ft.—Pop. 4,000. The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are ranches, small farms, and budding orchards. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress, being the supply point for the mines and ranches in the vicinity. Col. Baker has here a ranch of several thousand acres. Cranbrook has already become a centre of great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crowsnest Pa ss Route, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in East Kootenay,_ having four sawmills operating within its limits. / Flag Station. 14.20 14.10 /14.00 /13.45 13.41 /13.15 /14.48 Game and Fish 350 344 339 331 319 317 J12.55/14.05 al2.45al3.55 309 is fl 64 CROWSNEST PASS ROUTE Miles _„„.. from Soo 4?Mt Koote'y Spok'ne ".SlSft Landi'g Train STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Soo Miles bound annv.na from Train spoK neb'nm're 93 ■105 115 128 138 144 Leave /16.0' 16.301 16.55 17.30 /17.50 Great Coal Belt c3 fi The town is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in British Columbia.

After penetrating natural park lands perfectly clear of undergrowth, the valley of the Kootenay is reached. The course has been in a southeasterly direction, and follows the Kootenay River, which is crossed at Wardner, on a magnificent Howe truss bridge. The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing, where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake.

Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the province becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it follows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making Borne amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crowsnest are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distauce east the summit of the Rockies is crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Columbia and Alberta, and a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, one emptying finally in Hudson Bay and one in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 feet, and beyond is Crowsnest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles.

St. Andews is situated on Passamaquoddy Bay, and for beauty of environment is not surpassed by any point on that portion ol the Atlantic coast. The Algonquin.a splendid Canadian Pacific Railway Hotel, is situated here. At Fredericton Junction connection is made for the city of Fredericton (pop. 7,600), sometimes called "the Celestial City," the capital of New Brunswick. The line soon strikes the St. John River, and follows it for some miles, crossing it near St. John, where the Re versi ble Falls present to the traveller a remarkable tidal phenomenon. The Bay of Fundy is skirted to St. John, the loyalist city. I 5.55| 276 483 ^'YX ||St. John, N.B.—Pop. 57,000.—The city of St. John was destroyed by fire in June, 1877, causing a loss of between 120,000,000 and $30,000,000. From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to-day to indicate the awful calamity which then befell it. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—the winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor. An inspection of the fine Docks to which the Dominion Government are building large additions and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every weekday between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing the land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the world over as the home of Longfellow's Evangeline, The Eastern Steamship Co.'s Line gives connection with Eastport, Me., Portland and Boston.

In the immediate vicinity of St. John are attractive watering places. The scenery is soft and pleasing — the rounding hills and abrupt heights forming pictures that delight the eye. To the east and south are many small lakes in which trout are abundant. Sussex and Hampton are pretty little towns. The Petitcodiac River is followed for some distance to Moncton. An interesting feature of the river is the "Bore" of the incoming tide, when the water rushes up with great force in a h lge wave, often several feet high, that fills the empty riverbed. Moncton—Population 14,000,situated on a bend of the Petitcodiac River. It is the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway System, the chief offices and workshops of which are located here.

A pretty and thriving town in the midst of most picturesque scenery and having one of the finest natural parks in North America within half a mile of the railway station. Within easy driving distance of 'Iruro are a number of streams and lakes in which there is good trout fishing. Moose are found in the Stewiacke Mountains, and Caribou about Pembroke ; grouse are plentiful, and geese, brant, duck, curlew and snipe are common in the spring and fall. From TrUro a branch line runs to Pictou, where steamers depart for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and another branch runs to New Glasgow and Mulgrave, on the Straits of Canso, connecting with steamers from Cape Breton Island, and with the extension of the railway through the Island to theSydneys, which have become great industrial centres and give promise of further future development. From them, historic Louisbourg is easily reached by rail. A capital service has been inaugurated between North Sydney and Port aux Basques, Newfoundland—the sea voyage only occupying six hours—there connecting with the Reid-Newfoundland Co.'s Ry., which traverses the island to St. John's on the eastern coast, and by these delightful excursions can be made. The Reid-Newfoundland Co. also controls the steamer service to the Labrador Coast. The little towns of Stewiacke and Shubenacadie are passed,andat Windsor Junction the trains of the Dominion Atlantic Railway branch off through the land of Evangeline to Digby and "Yarmouth, where steamer connection is made with Boston. At Bedford the railway reaches Bedford Basin, a magnificent sheet of water, along which it runs for several miles, amidst pretty scenery, to Halifax. Hal ifax—Population 55,000.

As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, .schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern 4umbering regions draw their mer- j chandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both-in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways : reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central.

Lawrence River a most attractive and interesting portion of the voyage. During two days of the voyage land will be within sight on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and the other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout. The passenger accommodation is all amidships, where the motion of the vessels is least felt, and is equipped with every modern appliance n<"»ndncing to t he comfort of travellers.

LINE (Subjoot to change without notice) This line has beoome the favorite route between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H.I., and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Zealandia, Marama and Makura are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpseof the dreamy native life of the Pacific is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the novelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but thoy are so grouped that many can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

Train times shown herein are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice. Steamship sailings herein are weathir permitting ; and for river, gulf, lake and ferry steamers are during season of navigation only. Ferry at Prescott and Detroit, and steamship sailings from Vancouver, Victoria and San Francisco and Pacific Coast are all the year. Twbntt-fotjb Houb Time.—On lines west of Fort William the twenty-four hour system of notation is used, in which the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, beginning at one o'clock in the morning. The afternoon and evening hours run from 13 to 24, and those not familiar with the system may readily reckon -by adding or subtracting 12. Thus to convert ordinary p.m. time into railway time, 12 is added: and 5 in the afternoon, for instance, would be found to be 17 o'clock. To reduce the time table figures to ordinary p.m. time, subtract 12 and thus 19.35 would be found to mean 35 minutes past 7 in the evening .1 Ke advantage of this system is that it prevents mistakes from the confusion of a.m. and p.m. in reading time tables and in the operating of the railway generally.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at theesouthern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is like that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the finest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. have erected a palatial Empress Hotel now open for guests. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on^every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses, which do a very large outfitting trade for the Yukon. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway extends northeasterly 78 miles to the great coal mines at Nanaimo, through a section in which people who have achieved independence have taken up residence.

From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been erected since that time. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, with cement sidewalks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite, while the city?s sewage system is second to none. There is a regular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, H.I., Suva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern goldfields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors.

Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line bail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted to fruit growing. The electric railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at. the foot of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent — the Cascade Mountains near at hand at the north ; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mount Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public pleasure resort, and a visit to Capilano Canyon, a remarkable mountain cleft across the Inlet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance—mountain goatB, bear and "deer in the hills along the Inlet and trout-fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week at Vancouver will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set Inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees with trunks of twenty, thirty and even forty feet circumference.

The city is headquarters' for the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills— the product of which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about 20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14, < 00 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock.

The steamer " Vedder " . operates between , Harrison Mills Station and Chilliwack Wharf. Chilliwack Valley is situated on the south side of the Fraser River opposite to Harrison Mills Station, and comprises over 55,000 acres of rich agricultural land and is famed for dairying, mixed farming and fruit growing. Two of the finest equipped creameries in the Dominion are operating at Chilliwack, producing over one-half million pounds of butter annually, also the largest fruit canning company in the province is now in operation there. The city of Chilliwack has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, and has the advantages of city water, telephones and electric light. Agassiz—At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government Experimental Farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. The St. Alice hotel affords accommodation, and the country about is ^^ mostinteresting. Ruby Creek is named from the garnets found in the vicinity. Hope—Alt. 209 ft. Across the river from Hope is the*" village of the same name—a mining town and trading- post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different directions. To the south-west may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 215 ft.— Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul- de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a /Flag Stations.

Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succession of tunnels, enters the cany on of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses the railway many times in the next 12 miles, till we reach Spuzzum where it passes to the op- Spuzzum posite side of the river by a most picturesque suspension bridge, and runs thence to Boston Bar (about 12 miles) through one continuous canyon The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as " matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canyon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter level, and those who pass through the canyon in the month of August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals, and the old wagon road, all of which have been aban doned for the railway North Bend—Alt._ 487 it—North Bend (a divisional point) is a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canyon than is possible from the trains There are some pretty falls a short distance from the station, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canyon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road builtin the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, at tracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Three miles above Keefers where it follows the cliffs op posite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice.

Near Kanaka the railway pa«ses through a \ tunnel directly on to a cantilever bridge, and crosses to the east side of the Fraser River, which ■ ±+~~ it follows for Lytton about glx miles to Lytton, a small trading town. Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and euters the canyon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then, through breaks in thehigh escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds. Ten miles above Lytton, Nicomen, a little mining village, is passed, on the river bank opposite which the first discovery of gold in British Columbia was made in 1857.

Sometimes the banksare rounded, cream- white slopes ; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive-green grass slope, or some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins.

Two miles beyond Basque the hills press close upon the Thompson River, which cuts its way through a winding gorge of almost terrifying gloom and desolation, fitly named the Black Canyon. Emerging, the train follows the river as it flows swiftly among the round-topped, treeless and water-cut hills. Ashcroft has 17.03 4.00 Ashcroft- SXrioJ?? of departure for Cariboo, and other gold fields in the northern interior of British Columbia. Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four to ten yoke of oxen and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrive here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley begins to widen out, and passing Wal- hachin, where there is the only commercial orchard visible from the main line and through which a Mono Rail system of some teii miles is to be built, the line soon reach es Savona at the foot of Kamloops Lake. From Port Moody to this point the railway was built by the Dominion Government and transferred to the Company in 1886. ,„ . From Savona Walhachin the line f0now8 Savona the south shore of Kamloops Lake for about twenty miles. It iB a beautiful hill-girt sheet of water. Quicksilver mines, which it is hoped will prove of great value, can be seen on the opposite shore of the lake. Near Cherry Creek a series of mountain spurs project into the lake and are pierced by numerous tunnels one following the other in quick succession.

The north fork of the Thompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and here joins the main river. It is a beautiful spot, whose dry invigorating climate makes it a pre- eminently desirable resort for sufferers from pulmonarv troubles. The broad valleys intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hills, and streams. Steamboats are on the river, and sawmills briskly at work, Chinese labor being largely employed. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by Mount St. Paul. The principal industries around Kamloops are cattle and horse raising and fruit growing by irrigation. The latter industry is progressing very rapidly, as this district is well adapted for all kinds of fruit culture. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper. Thence the railway follows up the valley of the South Thompson River and the eye is gladdened by the sight of grass, fenced fields, gro wing crops, hay stacks, and good farm houses on the level surface, while herds of cattle, sheep and horses roam over the valley and bordering hills in large numbers. This ranching country is one of the garden spots of British Columbia. The people are comparatively old settlers, having come in from the Pacific Coast. About two miles east of Shuswap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached. Northward within a day caribou are abundant; the deer shooting southward within 30 miles is very good,and on the lakes there is famous sport in deep trolling for trout. For 50 miles the line winds in and out the bending shores, while geese and ducks fly over the waters and light and shadow play upon the opposite banks. This lake with is bordering slopes gives a fine reminder of Scottish scenery. The railway in getting around it leads, at different and many times, towards every one of the thirty-two points of the compass. f Flag Statiore. Ducks, Alt. 1,146 ft.

The line then gradually runs down hill until it reaches the level of the water, at Salmon Arm, which it runsv entirely round, and then goes for a long distance entirely along the southern shore of the lake. This is a most remark able body of water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high, bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand and pebbles, with alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The railway crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at Sicamous Narrows. Salmon Arm Canoe Sicamous Junc Alt. 1,147 ft Sicamow Junc. is the station for the mining and agricultural districts to the south where there is large settlement. An excellent Canadian Pacific Railway hotel at Sicamous forms splendid headquarters for those wishing to remain over and shoot, fish or make a daylight trip through the mountains.

Further down the lake are Peachland and Summerland, which are becoming favorite resorts. This is a land of vineyards and orchards, as well as a Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, deer, bigh orn and mountain go at. On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses. From Sicamous Junction the transcontinental line ascends the valley of Eagle River, which cuts through the Gold Range and is filled throughout with a dense growth of immense trees —spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar, balsam and many other varieties— giants all of them.

The Hotel Revelstoke facing tne station is a modern building with all conveniences. A fine tourist resort— fishing, hunting, boating and moan- tain climbing can be enjoyed here. Mount Reveletoke, immediately north of the city, can be climbed by the landmark Trail, from which a magnificent view of glaciers, mountain peaks, valleys and rivers are obtained. On the summit of this mountain is one of the most beautiful Alpine Parks to be found anywhere. A comfortable chalet has been provided for the accommodation of tourists. Fish and game are abundant in the vicinity. The Columbia, which makes a great detour from the east around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway cuts directly across, is here much larger thanat Donald, from which it has fallen 1,071 feet, and 28 miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. A steamer makes biweekly trips of some forty miles up the river. To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to m!nw «£&„. xrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400ft.), and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful, and there is excel lent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan and to West Robson, whence different, subdivisions lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland and to Nelson. Nelson has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crowsnest Pass Route, which . runs through East Kootenay and Southern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental Une at Dunmore on the plains of Western Canada. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 60 to 69.) Leaving Revelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the fir^t portion of which is a gorge in which the ra:lway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart. 2619 p w p Enter Selk ing the irks TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 21 Miles Eastbo'd Train V»S?r iTorontol Imper'l vane r |Expre8s |Limited STATIONS—Desckiptive Notes 391 401 407 416 Leave Leave 1.31 13.05 Twin Butte—This station takes its name from the huge double summit near by, now called Mounts Mackenzie-Tilley.

The gorge is sometimes of considerable width, filled with a remarkable forest of those gigantic trees for which British Columbia is famous, and there are exceedingly grand outlooks all along. About Moss Peak station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Passing Ross Peak Siding the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend «nd the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House. Glacier House—Alt. 4,086 ft. Station and hotel are within thirty minutes' walk of the lllecillewaet Glacier, from which, at the left, Sir Donald (10,808 ft.) rises a naked and abrupt pyramid, to a height of a mile and a quarter above the railway. This stately monolith was named after Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Farther to the left, looking from the hotel, are two or three sharp peaks (Uto, Eagle, Avalanche and Macdonald), second only to Sir Donald.

Again to the left, at the west end of Hermit Range, on the south side of Bear Creek, comes Cheops, and in the foreground, far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens across the valley. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel, which is called Abbott. Between Ross and Abbott in the background is an enormous wall of snow. This is the Mount Bonney Glacier. To the right of Ross, between Ross and Cheops, a glimpse is caught of the Cougar Valley where are the wonderful cavesof Nakimu (Indian for "Grumbling Caves"). These caves, whose recesses have not been fully explored, contain many chambers, some of which are of surprising beauty. Roads are being constructed by which they will be made easy of access. Following the skyline of Mount Abbott which appears behind the hotel like a forested wall, the eye rests upon another lofty glacier with many peaks shooting up through the snow. This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the Alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are—Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall ; the Dome, a rounded rock ; Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. To the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel not only serves as a dining station for passing trains, but also affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. Here in the heart of the Selkirks every comfort and luxury are found, and here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to ac- commodatetheincreasingtourist travel that is not satisfit-d with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged.

Several good trails have been made to it, and its exploration is practicable. A splendid view can be obtained of the Great Glacier from Glacier Crest to the left of the Great Glacier, and 3,000 feet above the hotel another view i3 from the trail at the foot of Sir Donald which is to the right of the ice. Easy trads also lead to Marion Lake; to Mount Abbott, 1,573 feet above the valley; to Cascade summer house, opposite the hotel high among the trees directly above the mountain torrent, seen tumbling down the green shoulder from Avalanche Peak ; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the ice flow of two main branches of the glacier meet; and to the summits of Mounts Avalanche and Abbott. Good rout?s have also been mapped by the guides up Eagle and Sir Donald; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named on account of a Ia^ge rock figure exactly resembling an eagl'j perched upon the knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found south of Canada. Bears also are teen frequently in this vicinity. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along tv e slopes of the Summit Peaks, the line soon crosses the summit of the Selkirks. Selkirk Summit—Alt. 4,351 ft.—Summit of the pass. The mountains at the left are: Tupper, the group of castellated granite crags directly above the pass; Hermit, a rounded height; the Swiss Peaks, separated from the peaks on each side by deeply notched ravines; Rogers' Peak, across the narrow but deep gulf from Grizzly, which in turn stands opposite to the pyramidal heightsof Cheops,averhable Titanof I this group, with the profile of a hatted Napoleon plainly silhouetted against that face of Cheops overlooking the vast glacial field of the whole Hermit range; and looking out of the Ga Thes of Selk ummit the irks Overlo the of Illecill oking gorge the ewaet 2474 24 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE Miles Eastbo'd Train from Vano'r 1 oronto Express Imper'l Limited STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbo'd Train Mi]e8 Imper'l Vano'r L'jJSi Limited Express Montr' 426 Leave 3.15 Mo Macd Leave 14.59 unt onald T Her Ka Exit Roger Bear he mit nge from s' Pass Creek towards the west, and over the deep valley of the lllecillewaet, is Ross Peak, a massive and symmetrical mountain carrying an .immense glacier on its eastern slope. Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,302 ft. This pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, five or six thousand feet above the valley, half-a- dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. In this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky. The tallest is Swiss Peak, so called in honor of the members of the Swiss Alpine Club who first stood upon its highest pinnacle. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers above the railway a mile in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's throw distent, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains apparently were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald, Uto, Eagle and Avalanche, from Honth to north—the rear slope of which were seen in ascending the Beaver. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park. From the summit the line follows down the valley of Bear Creek, and after leaving the station at Rogers' Pass it clings to the base of Tupper Mountain, whose clustered spires face Leave 13.06 Leave 4.04 2473 Peaks and glacie rs in Roger s* Pass Mo unt Macdonald A Na Res tional erve K TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 26 Miles from Vanc'r Eastbo'd Trainsl Toronto; Imper'l I Express (Limited STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbo'd Trainsl MUeg Imper'll Vanc'r Lf„r°f™>, Limited lExpress Montr ' T snow 432 Des of Beavei cent the Valley Superb of Selk Beaver Big he ^heds view the irks Valley Trees those of Mount Macdonald, and are nearly as high. About four miles from Rogers' Pass station the line turns to the left into the valley of the Beaver, and near Bear Creek station a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Tupper Mountain, through a gap in the cliffs on the left. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work. They are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove-tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain's sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrible avalanche. Bear Creek—Alt. 3,663 ft.—The line now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side a thousand feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, which come down many of them in splendid cascades, through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificient picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mount Sir Donald, with which acquaintance was made at Glacier House. Opposite is a line of huge tree-clad hills, occasionally showing snow-covered heads above the timber line.

Trails lead along the mountains' side and through the valley, and shelters have been erected for the convenience of visitors to this new wonderland of the Yoho Valley. Here are some of the highest peaks and finest scenery in the Rockies. En route to the valley there is a natural bridge, and Emerald Lake, 7 miles from Field, is one of the most charming of mountain waters. Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen is a fossil bed, rich in rare specimens of trilobite. During the summer Swiss guides are stationed here to accompany tourists and mountain climbers. Looking down the valley from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. Coming from the west the road first enters the new spiral tunnel of 2,910 feet, under Mount Ogden. Emerging from the tunnel the track runs back west across the Kicking Horse river', and then enters the corkscrew tunnel of 3,200 feet under Cathedral Mountain, and after describing an elliptic curve emerges to again run along the Kicking Horse Valley. The whole thing is a perfect maze, the railway doubling back upon itself twice, tunnelling under mountains and crossing the river twice in order to cut down the grade. Put in brief, the work which has now been completed is as follows :— Length of two tunnels, IJ miles; length of cutting outside of tunnels, 7 miles ; increase in length of track, 4\ miles ; reduction in grade, from 4.5 to 2.2; approximate cost of work, $1,500,000; number of men employed, about 1,000, with complete outfit of steam equipment. Time of work, twenty months, from October, 1907, to July, 1909; 75 carloads of dynamite were used, or upwards of 1,500,000 pounds of the explosive. The cost of explosives alone came to over $250,000. During the tunnel work, for the first time in Canada, steam shovels were operated by compressed air, one of these machines was installed at the working head in each tunnel, the cutting being worked from opposite ends. Despite the complicated work caused by the spiral shape of the tunnels, they met exactly, and the work has been completed with marvellous exactness.

The result of this work is, that whereas on the old track with its big grade it took four engines to handle a train, now only two engines are needed. The four engines used to be able to only make four or five miles an hour, now the two engines are able to make twenty-five. In _ this way the cost of operating a train over this difficult piece of line is cut to about one-third of the old cost, with _ an improvement in the time of running, while the element of danger inseparable j from high grades, has been practically eliminated. It is these factors which have induced the C. P. R. to go to such tremendous expense to reduce this famous "Big Hill "grade. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude oi 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges. The scenery is sublime and overwhelming in its grandeur. The line ascends rapidly crossing the deep gorge of the Kicking Horse and skirting the Hector—Alt. 5,207 ft. Stephen—Alt.5,321 ft. beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector. At the "Great Divide" where a sparkling stream separates into two waters, one flowing to the Pacific and the other to Hudson Bay, the backbone of the continent is reached. The station at the summit of the Rocky Mountains, like the stupendous mountain some miles behind, one of the chief peaks in the Rockies in this latitude is named in honor of the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In descending a tributary of the Bow River, the huge peak of Mount Daly can be seen with its crescent shaped glacier a dozen miles away and 1,300 feet above you. The first stop is at Laggan, the station for the Lakes in the Clouds. At Laggan surefooted ponies or rigs may be taken to the Lakes in the Clouds, famed the world over for their unsurpassable beauty. Perched on the mountain sides, these lakes, hidden from general view amidst the most romantic environments, are rare gems whose loveliness and charm surpass all description.

On the margin of this beautiful lake there is a comfortable Hotel, where excellent accommodation is provided. There is a bridle path to MirrotLake higher up the mountain, and a still further ascent to Lake Agnes, during which a magnificent view of the Bow Valley a ad the surrounding mountains is obtained. Trails also lead to Paradise Valley, to the Valley of the Ten Peaks, and to other sequestered spots. No more delightful place is imaginable than these lovely stretches of water in cloudland. ' Shelters have recently been constructed for the accommodation of tourists. They are within easy distance of the chalet, and are of especial benefit to amateur photographers who delight in catching the lights and shadows of the superb views of the locality. To enable visitors to climb and explore in safety, the Canadian Pacific Railway brings from Switzerland a number of Alpine guides of the very highest class. One of these is always stationed at Lake Louise. The others will be found at Field, Emerald Lake and Glacier. Here a splendid monument has been erected to Sir James Hector, the explorer. The railway runs down the forested Bow Valley, which is sentinelled by mountains exceedingly grand and prominent. Those on the left (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sharply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mountains, in the foreground. On the right the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. The gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain (10,309 ft.), and the snow dome of Mount Ball (10,825 ft!). To the right, standing supreme over this part of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Temple (11,626 ft.), the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama. This great mountain becomes visible almost from the j 'Divide'' and is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley, which has been referred to by one writer as an "amphitheatre of scenic glory."

Castle—Alt. 4,657 feet.—Castle is the station at the base of the great eminence known as Castle Mountain. The views forward and to the rear are delightfully surprising. The Vermilion Lakes are skirted, and an excellent view is had of Mount Bourgeau and the snow-peaks far to the west, enclosing Simpson's Pass. Hole-in- the-Wall Mountain is passed on the left. This mountain has a remarkable cave which can be entered for 160 feet, where a chimney-like aperture gives a glimpse of the sky. The cave is 1,500 feet abo^e the valley. | Banff—Alt. 4,521 ft.—Station for Canadian National Park and Hot Springs. This park is a National Reservation of 5,732 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray and Cascade rivers, Lake Minnewanka and several noble mountain ranges, and beyond the "Divide," the Yoho Valley and the country to the west and south of it. The Park is the largest in the world, being nearly half as large again as the famous Yellowstone Park in the States. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made. The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mountain (9,825 ft.) ; eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minnewanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian chief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of. the track rises the wooded ridge, of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Lakes, seen just before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant snowy central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau.

The isolated bluff southward is Tunnel Mountain, while just behind the station, Mount Rundle, 9,665 ft., rises sharply, so near at hand as to cut off all the view in that direction. Near the station is a large corral of 800 acres in which are about 100 buffalo. In well-constructed cages are specimens of the various wild animals found in the Rocky Mountains. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the Railway Company, on an eminence between the fo-uning falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from May to October, and hither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walk1 ng or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanatorium and hospital in the village, and a museum of more than local interest has been established by the Gov> rnment. Eight miles from Banff is Lake Minnewanka, on which a fine launch has been placed. There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep (the big horn) and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains and markings of mammoth pre-hi*toric creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel. The hot springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mountain, the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes.

Since the opening of the railway, these springs have been largely vi-ited, and testimony to their wonderful curative properties is plentiful. Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by the Rev. James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. The way to it leads through beautiful valleys studded with transparent blue lakes and park-like prairie openings. Just after leaving Bankhead the station, the train passes along a large corral of 800 acres already described. The railway skirts the base of Cascade Mountain and follows Cascade Creek until after Anthracite is passed, when it rejoins the Bowi Halfway between Anthracite and Canmore, the park is left. Near Canmore are large coal mines. A the Three Sisters Canmore Alt. 4,283 ft. striking profile of is obtained, with Wind and Pigeon mountains looming up beyond.

Near it the track turns and descends the long valley between the Fairholme range on the left and the Kananaskis range opposite. The prominent peak on the right is Pigeon Mountain, and in leaving the station called The Gap, a magnificent view is obtained of Wind Mountain and the Three Sisters also on the right. At Exshaw is one of the largest cement works in Canada. There is a remarkable contrast between the ranges in view behind.

The falls are best reached from Fort William by railway. Fort William—Pop. 16,498.—A short distance from the mouth of the Kaministikwia River, a broad, deep stream with firm banks, affording extraordinary advantages for lake traffic with a waterfront of 26 miles. From the beauty of its situation, its accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood, it has become a favorite resort for tourists, and is rapidly becoming an important commercial centre. A long promontory of basaltic rock on the opposite side of Thunder Bay, called the | Sleeping Giant," whose Indian legend takes one back to aboriginal days, terminates in Thunder Cape, behind which lies the once famous Silver Islet, which has yielded almost fabulous wealth, though now the mines becoming flooded have been abandoned. Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort William. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale (now become a popular summer resort) may be seen in the distance. Fort William was formerly a very, important Hudson's Bay Company's, post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company. The fur house of the old fort is now used as an engine house for the great coal docks and some of the largest grain I elevators in the world overshadow all. | There are railway workshops and the usual buildings and sidings incident to a divisional point.

At Mattawa the line strikes the Ottawa River, which for many miles is the dividing line between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Mattawa (pop. Cliffe Corbeil Nosbonslng Bonfield Rutherglen Eau Claire Mattawa 2,000) is an old fur-trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company, but at present of most importance as a distributing point for the lumbering districts and agricultural country about Lake Timiskaming. From this point a subdivision runs up to Timiskaming and Kipawa, from each of which famous fishing and hunting grounds may easily be reached. At Timiskaming there is steamer connection from Haiieybury, from which place canoes and guides can be procured, and an endless series of trips, unsurpassed anywhere, can be made including those to the peerless Tima- gami distaict. From Kipawa, exploration of the beautiful lake of the same name furnishes an ideal holiday. Those who love the wild will find their every desire satisfied in this part of the country, game and fish being in plenty, and the comforts of civilization not too far off. It is also a favorite centre for moose hunters, and with gSd reason. Guides and supplies may always be obtained here. An attractive Klock Deux Rivieres Bissett Adelard Stoned iff Mackey Moorlake Wylie Chalk River point for tourists is Lake Timiskaming, and no more enjoyable canoeing can be imagined than in explora- tion of these waters, which abound in fish, as the country does in game.

The Chaudiere Falls, which here interrupt the navigation of the Ottawa River, afford water power for a host of saw-mills and other manufactories. Vast quantities of lumber are made here from logs floated down from the Ottawa River and its tributaries. The city stands on high ground overlooking a wide valley, and contains many fine residences, the Royal Mint, the Victoria Museum, large hotels, etc. The stately Government buildings overshadow all. Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General, is within the city limits. Many improvements have been made in Ottawa at the cost of the Federal Government, and it is now held to be worthy of the title | The Washington of the North" and visitors agree that the title is not inapt. The driveways in and about Ottawa are unexcelled. Indeed it has been said to be the most picturesque Capital in the world. Ottawa possesses charm s of situation and surroundings which, coupled with the foresight which has characterized the layii g out of the city, have made it one of which not only every citizen, but also every Canadian, may well be proud. A subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway extends southward to Prescott on the St. Lawrence, where ferry connection is made with Ogdensburg, N.Y., and rail lines to New York.

After leaving Winnipeg the line runs up the fertile valley of the Red Riwr of the North. On either side are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now ur>sily under the plough. Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and the country Las an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlement were reached by following the current, firstly, in voyageurs' bateaux and later in shallow- draught steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many years before the back, country was opened consequently some of the farms have been under cultivation for several generations. Fifty-five miles after ieaving Winnipeg Dominion City (population 400) is reached. Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the bDiindary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500) the most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain to a much more prominent position in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the south. When Emerson is reached the train leaves the wheat belt of Manitoba, a part of what is rapidly becoming the greate=t wheat producing country in the world.

From this Reservation southward to Alexandria the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession of well-tilled farms, of beautiful groves of magnificent timber and of picturesque sheets of sparkling spring water. The towns are in close proximity to each other, the country being rich enough to support many busy business centres without having long distances intervene. Between Emerson and Detroit the country is far less well developed, and although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. But for fishing and snooting it stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black basq, although, pike, pickerel, crappies and perch are plentiful. Throughout the country north cf Detroit and through the reservations the lakepr and there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful ; prairie chicken are found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. The reserves with their great tracts of standing pine are a refuge for all kinds of game. Detroit is an old established t wn of this section of the country, the last census giving it the credit of about three thousand people. It is far-famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes, and having within a small radius a great number of summer hotels and cottages. It is a business centre of importance, and is recognized as one of the coming cities of the State. Altona, Dent and Richville are all located advantageously in splendid farming country and are towns of great promise. Ottertail is located on the shores of the great Ottertail Lake, and already has a population of several hundred. Of Alexandria, which is quite an important town, it may be said, as o f the farming country north and south, that it has seen years enough to remove from it many of the necessary marks of early rawness. In the city are well made streets withsymmetrical trees, lawns well kept, and a type of residences that tells of prosperous content after strenuous years. It is completely surrounded by lakes.

The route is now by main line on to the Twin Cities, The lakey way in the firmament of Minnesota lakes much resembles in outline a gigantic fish-hook, with the eye at the Twin Cities, the shaft running northwest, as though in ages past some titanic Thief River Falls bass had struggled withit. This belt is not comparatively wide through the first hundred miles of its length out from the Twin Cities, but broadens as it turns northward, a territory at on ce th e beauty spot and the black bass preserve of the great West. West of this region the country smoothes down and sobers off into the famous prairies of the Red River Valley, every foot of which is capable of furnishing its quota of wheat,corn and other cultivated crops. East, the land varies from prairie to pinery, but the Park Region itself is a territory with slightly rolling surface, where wood rimmed lakes are divided by wooded prairies and where prosperous farming has not harmed but heightened the charm of the scenery.

The canyon is a remarkable rock crevice, through whose narrow width the angry waters of the Goat rush and roar with terrific speed. The valley of the Goat River is followed to Kitchener, near which are immense deposits of hematite iron now being developed. The ascent of the Selkirks continues beyond Goatfell, and the summit is reached at an altitude of 2,857 feet. Portland, Ore.—On the Williamette River (pop. 250,000), many large factories and fine public buildings. Chief distributing point for State of Oregon and several adjoining states.

The Moyie River is followed through a heavily timbered country, and at the southern extremity of Lower Moyie Lake, a pretty water stretch, is Moyie, near which mining operations are extensively carried on, this being the site of the Ste. Eugene Consolidated, dhe of the largest silver-lead properties in the world. Game is abundant in the locality—both large and small— and there is capital fishing. The line closely follows the winding shores of Moyie Lake, the waters of which, occupying the whole valley, force the railway into the mountain's sides. Leaving Swansea, a park-like country is entered, through which flow several streams, from some of which gold has been extracted. A northerly course is followed to Cranbrook, one of the most prettily located towns in British Columbia. Cranbrook—Alt. 2,911 ft.—Pop. 4,000. The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are ranches, small farms, and budding orchards. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress being the supply point for the mines and ranches in- the vicinity. Col. Baker has here a ranch of several thousand acres. Cranbrook has already become a centre of great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crowsnest Pass Route, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in East Kootenay, having four sawmills operating within its limits. / Flag Station. al5.37 350 344 339 331 1 \. 50 333 317 /12.55 al2.45 114.05 al3.55 309 W So m SO df- 64 CROWSNEST PASS ROUTE Miles from Soo Koote' y Spok'ne Landi'g East bound Train STATIONS—Descriptive Notes West- i g00 I Miles bound Knnk'ne fro™ Train bp0K neD'nm're 93 105 115 Leave /16.08 16.33 16.59 The town is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in British Columbia.

The grandeur of the mountains is not lost, and the giants of both the ranges can be viewed from the tiain with scarcely any obstruction. After penetrating natural park lands perfectly clear of undergrowth, the valley of the Kootenay is reached. The course has been in a southeasterly direction, and follows the Kootenay River, which is crossed at Wardner, on a magnificent Howe truss bridge.- The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing, where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake. Lofty peaks • and frowning precipices confront one—those of the last great range, the Rockies, the backbone of the continent. The three isolated p°aks are called the "Steeples." The next station is Elko, which is des- Elko Alt. 3,080 ft Morrissey Cokato Great Coal Belt oil fi tined to be the market town for the Tobacco Plains and the farming settlements to the south. The utilization of ihe water power of the Elk at this point should make this town one of great importance. Beyond El ko, the Elk River is crossed, and about a mile below is the Elk River Canyon, which extends for several miles. The water drops 600 feet in that distance, and being compressed between narrow vertical walls, turbulently rushes through the canyon. The scenery here rivals that of the Fraser and Thompson Canyons. The railway turns northeasterly, following the Elk for over 40 miles. Along tbe Elk thick seams of coal crop out, for here are the great coal fields of East Kootenay, which are said to be the largest undeveloped coal measures in the world. Coal exists to the summit of the Rockies, and beyond the pass it is again found underlying vast areas. An analysis and test of these coals have been made, and the results as shown in the Government reports prove that / Flag Stations. 299 287 277 Summit of Rockies 11.02 10.42 264 254 248 O p CROWSNEST PASS ROUTE Miles _ . from Soo i?88'": Koote'y Spokane °°nJiA Landingl Train STATIONS—Descrhtite Notes Leave 146 154 164 168 170 175 177 182 Leave 24.43 1.39 2.45 18.20 18.40 /19.20 19.27 19.59 20.40 they compare favorably with the best coals of the same variety in Pennsylvania. Of cooking coal there is an abundance, which is proving of great importance to the smelters of British Columbia. Passing through a thickly timbered country and crossing Morrissey and other creeks, the railway runs into Fernie, the present centre of development of the coal industry. The Loop 03 fi Crowsnest Lake Fernie Hosmer Sparwood Natal Michel Alt. 3,852ft. McGillvray Loop Crowsnest Alt. 4,410 ft. This town (pop. 6,( 00), which is at the mouth of Coal -reek, only sprang into existence in 1898, and is making wonderful progress. It has fine hotels, good stores and a large number of comfortable residences. Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the province becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel C_eek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it fo lows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing turns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crowsnest are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distauce east the summit of the Rockies is crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Columbia and Alberta, and _a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, one emptying finally in Hudson Bay and one in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 feet, and beyond is Crowsnest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft.), whose western bank is followed for several miles. This lake is credited with being the birthplace of the zephyrs that blow across the plains, and it is known that on occasions, while the western part of the lake is still and calm, "white caps" predominate on the eastern part.

The Algonquin.a splendid Canadian Pacific Railway Hotel, is situated here. At Fredericton Junction connection is made for the city of Fredericton (pop. 7,208), sometimes called 'the Celestial City," the capital of New Brunswick. The line soon strikes the St. John River, and follows it for some miles, ^ crossing it near St. John, where the W Re verBible Falls present to the traveller a remarkable tidal phenomenon. The Bay of Fundy is skirted to St. John, the loyalist city. I 5.55 276 483 7"'V"l|St. John, N.B.—Pop. 42,363.—The city a 5.20 of St. John was destroyed by fire in p.m. June, 1877, causing a loss of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. From its ashes has arisen a bright, progressive city, with nothing to-day to indicate the awful calamity which then befell it. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—the winter porsHsr the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundv and the grand harbor. An inspection of the fine Docks to which the Dominion Government are building large additions and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply every weekday between St. John and. Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing the land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the world over as the home of Longfellow's Evangeline. The Eastern Steamship Co.'s Line gives connection with Eastport, Me., Portland and Boston. Good trout fishing and shooting can be had near the city.

To the east and south are many small lakes in which trout are abundant. Sussex and Hampton are pretty little towns. The Petitcodiac River is followed for some distance to Moncton. An interesting feature of the river is the "Bore" of the incoming tide, when the water rushes up with great force in a h ige wave, often several feet high, that fills the empty riverbed. Moncton—Population 11,329,situated on a bend of the Petitcodiac River. It is the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway siystem, the chief offices and workshops of which are located here. It has many important industries, including a cotton mill, foundry and wood-working and clothing factories. Hunting grounds Painsec Junction Sackville Amherst Spring Hill Junc.

From Painsec Junction a branch line extends to Point Du Chene, connecting with steamers for Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Sackville has a fine college and Methodist academies, and is situated in a choice grazing country. Railway connection is made with Cape Tormentine, from which Prince Edward Island is reached. Just beyond Sackville the Province of Nova Scotia is entered. The remains of Fort Cumberland are of historic interest as the scene of hard-fought battles in the early days between the English and French. Amherst(pop. 10,000) is a manufacturing town with several good hotels. Shooting and fishing are both fair, the game comprising moose, geese and duck, and salmon trout are plentiful in the lakes.

Within easy driving distance of Truro are a number of streams and lakes in which there is good trout fishing. Moose are found in the Ste wiacke Mountains, and Caribou about Pembroke ; grouse are plentiful, and geese, brant, duck, curlew and snipe are common in the spring and fall. From Truro a branch line runs to Pictou, where steamers depart for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and another branch runs to New Glasgow and Mulgrave, on the Straits of Canso, connecting with steamers from Cape Breton Island, and with the extenslpSj of the railway through the Island to the Sydneys, which have become great industrial centres and give promise of further future development. From them, historic Louisbourg is easily reached by rail. A capital service has been inaugurated between North Sydney and Port aux Basques, Newfoundland—the sea voyage only occupying six hours—there connecting with the Reid-Newfoundland Co.'s Ry., which traverses the island to St. John's on the eastern coast, and by these delightful excursions can be made.

As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter both in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and several other lines call here in summer, and local steamers depart for the Lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINES Atlantic Service (Subject to change without notice) The traveller by the steamships of the Canadian Pacific Kaiiwaj Co. s Atlantic Service—following the shortest ocean route between Liverpool and Quebec and Montreal — will find the sail on the St. Lawrence River a most attractive and interesting portion of the voyage. During two days of the voyage land will be within sight on both sides of the ship, passing scenes of historic interest made memorable by Jacques Cartier, Champlain and the other early French adventurers who discovered Canada and penetrated its wilderness, and passing scenery which, of its kind, is unequalled by that of any other sea-going route in the world. The steamships employed in the Company's Atlantic Lines are powerful new twin-screw steel vessels which have been especially constructed and fitted for the Atlantic trade. They have side keels, which add greatly to the steadiness of vessels possessing them, and the most careful attention has been paid to the heating and ventilation of the passenger quarters, which are fitted with electric light throughout.

ROYAL MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE To Japan and China (Subject to change without notice) The Canadian Pacific Railway Co.'s fast steamship service on the Pacifio Ocean gives the shortest, safest and best route between Canada and the Orient, and also forms an important link in the popular "Around the World " trip. < By the White Empress Line of the Canadian Pacific, tourists can easily reach- either Japan or China, and visit at leisure the many attractive and curious places to be found in those countries, and can, if they wish, continue the journey to Australia or around the world. The route from Vancouver, B.C., to Yokohoma, Japan, Shanghai, China, and Hong Kong, is 300 miles shorter than any other transpacific route, and Vancouver is several hundred miles nearer to the Atlantic than any other Pacific port. The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller's assured of safety, comfort anckpleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," and "Empress of Japan," built under contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal Mails, are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 ft. in length, with 51 ft. breadth of beam, and are fitted with twin-screws. They are of 10,000 horse power, have triple expansion engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being added, and no expense spared in their luxurious fittings.. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking , Rooms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and very comfortable. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity, and have all modern appliances and conveniences. The steamship "Monteagle" (5,500 tons), is a staunchly built ship, which, owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade, has been placed on regular schedule between Vancouver and Hong Kong, and classed 100 Al at Lloyds.

Passengers for the "Monteagle" should embark at Vancouver. The " Monteagle" does not carry first cabin passengers. As a measure of precaution, passengers should arrange to arrive in Vancouver the day previous to the scheduled date of sailing. Connections are made at Yokohama and Kobe with steamers to and from all parts of Japan and Corea, also for North China Ports ; at Shanghai for North China, Mid- China and the Yangtse River Ports; and at Hong Kong for South China, Tonkin, Manila, the Straits Settlements, Australia. India, and Europe, via Suez. The usual stay at intermediate ports is: Yokohama, 24 hours; Kobe, 12 hours: Nagasaki, 10 hours ; Shanghai, 12 to 24 hours, according to tide. These periods may be reduced or increased, according to circumstances. Passengers should ascertain from Company's Agents at those ports the exact hours of departure. (92) CANADIAN-AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL S.S. LINE (Subject to change without notion) This line has become the favorite route between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H.I., and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Zealandia, Marama and Makura are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpse of the dreamy native life of the Pacifio is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the novelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that many can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantag^of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

The Company does not undertake that trains shall start or arrive at the times herein specified* nor will it be accountable for any loss* inconvenience or injury which may arise from delays or detention ; nor will it be responsible for any delay, detention, loss or injury whatsoever arising oft its lines or from the acts or defaults of other parties, nor for the correctness of the times over the lines of other companies, nor for the arrival of this Company's own trains in time for, or to connect with, the nominally corresponding trains or steamers of this or any other company. Train timeB shown herein are not guaranteed and are subject to change without notice. Steamship sailings herein are weathor permitting; and for river, gulf, lake and ferry steamers are during season of navigation only. Ferry at Prescott and Detroit, and steamship sailings from Vancouver, Victoria and San Francisco and Paoifio Coast are all the year. Twkntt-foub Hour Time.—On lines west of Fort William the twenty-four hour system of notation is used, in whioh the hours are numbered from one to twenty-four, beginning at one o'clock In the morning. The afternoon and evening hours run from 13 to 24, and those not familiar with the system may readily reckon by adding or subtracting 12. Thus to convert ordinary p.m. time into railway time, 12 is added; and 5 in the afternoon, for instance, would be found to be 17 o'clock. To reduce the time table figures to ordinary p.m. time, subtract 12 and thus 19.85 would be found to mean 85 minutes past 7 in the evening. T Ke advantage of this system is that it prevents mistakes from the confusion of a.m. and p.m. in reading time tables and in the operating of the railway generally.

Capital of British Columbia, charmingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, and beyond the Gulf of Georgia, the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mount Baker is conspicuous. The climate is like that of the south of England, and the town is peculiarly English in all its characteristics. Besides the magnificent Government buildings, which rank amongst the finest in America, the city has many fine public and private structures, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. have erected a palatial Empress Hotel now open for guests. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and mountains on every side. The city has an extensive trade, and many large commercial houses, which do a very large outfitting trade for the Yukon. The Chinese quarter is always interesting to visitors. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway extends northeasterly 78 miles to the great coal mines at Nanaimo, through a section in which people who have achieved independence have taken up residence.

The Pacific terminus of the railway and the nearest oceaD port to the great wheat lands. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding forest, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one exception, every building now seen has been erected since that time. The situation is most perfect as regards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses; many hotels, the Vancouver, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a splendid and handsomely appointed structure; churches, schools, etc., all of the most modern character. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some of its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth. It has many miles of asphalt streets, with cement sidewalks, has an electric street railway, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample supply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the Inlet from a mountain stream opposite, while the city's sewage system is second to none. There is a Tegular steamship service to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, H.I., Suva, Fiji, and Brisbane, Qd., and to Puget Sound and Alaskan ports, it being one of the principal points of departure on the coast for the Yukon and other northern goldfields, and an outfitting headquarters for miners and prospectors.

Steamships of the Canadian Australian Line sail from Vancouver every four weeks for Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu, Suva and Brisbane. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted to fruit growing. The electric railway running from Vancouver to Steveston, intersects this district and gives access to the salmon canneries at the foot of the Fraser River. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost within sight. The scenery all about is magnificent — the Cascade Mountains near at hand at the north ; the mountains of Vancouver Island across the water at the west; the Olympics at the south-west; and Mount Baker looming up at the south-east. Stanley Park is a magnificent public ! pleasure resort, and a visit to Capilano Canyon, a remarkable mountain cleft across the Inlet, is a delightful outing. Opportunities for sport are unlimited at no great distance—mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the Inlet and trout-fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week at Vancouver will be well rewarded. From Vancouver the railway follows the south shore of Burrard Inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set Inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all parts of the world; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees with trunks of twenty, thirty and even forty feet circumference.

The city is headquarters for the salmon canning industry, which is represented by a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large sawmills— the product of which is shipped largely to China, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia—and the Provincial Asylum and Penitentiary are located here. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Soon after leaving the Junction the line crosses Pitt River by a bridge one-quarter of a mile in length—from which a magnificent view is to be had up Pitt Lake, embracing water and woods and mountains of great height, and at various distances, with great meadows alive with cattle in the foreground. On either side of the river extensive alluvial flats have been dyked, thus rendering about "20,000 acres of the most fertile lands fit for cultivation. At Hammond the bank of the Fraser River is reached and followed by the railway for about 130 miles. It is here a smooth and mighty river. Immense trees are frequent, their size being indicated by the enormous stumps near the roadway. Many beautiful glimpses are had of Mount Baker, a magnificent isolated cone, in the State of Washington, rising 14,i 00 feet above the railway level, the favorite view being that from the crossing of Stave River about two miles east of Whonnock. From Mi s sion a subdivision crosses the Fraser River and runs to the international boundary line where rail connection is made with the Northern Pacific Railway from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and all Oregon and California points.

Two of the finest equipped creameries in the Dominion are operating at Chilliwack, producing over one-half million pounds of butter antfually, also the largest fruit canning company in the province is how in operation there. The city of Chilliwack has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, and has the advantages of city water, telephones and electric light. Agassiz — At Agassiz, overlooked by Mount Che-am, is a Government Experimental Farm where fruit and grain are grown in great variety. Agassiz is the station for Harrison Springs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. These springs are famed for their curative properties, .and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast.

To the south-west may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only await suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Yale—Alt. 215 ft.—Yale is the head of navigation and from it a wagon road was built in 1863-4 to the then famous Cariboo Mines, but the first 100 miles of it have been abandoned since the construction of the railway, and become in many places impassable even for a foot passenger. Yale was formerly an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It occupies a bench above the river in a deep cul- de-sac in the mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great height on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposite bank, and in the village a conspicuous Joss-house indicates the presence of Chinamen, who are seen washing gold on the river bars for a /Flag Stations.

Leaving Yale the valley turns sharp to the right and then to the left and the railway, passing through a succes sion of tunnels.entersthe canyon of the Fraser—where the cliffs are enormous, and apparently bar the way. The wagon road crosses and recrosses the railway many times in the next 12 miles, till we reach Spuzzum where it passes to the opposite side of the river by a most picturesque suspension bridge, and runs thence to Boston Bar (about 12 miles) through one continuous canyon. The scenery is not only intensely interesting but startling. It has been well described as " matchless." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rock where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing cliffs, or broken by ponderous masses of fallen rock, it madly foams and roars. The railway is cut into the cliffs 200 feet or more above, and the jutting spurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. Ten miles above Spuzzum is Hell Gate, the narrowest point in the canyon. The river is held back by the projecting rocks and in time of freshets rises 120 feet above its winter leyel, and those who pass through the canyon in the month of August often see the eddies packed with salmon, their back fins out of the water as they rest preparatory to making a rush round the next point. There can also be seen in a few places the remains of the old Indian trail for foot passengers only, the first for pack animals, and the old wagon road, all of which have been abandoned for the railway. North Bend—Alt. 487 it.—North Bend (a divisional point) is a desirable and delightful stopping-place for tourists who wish to see more of the Fraser Canyon than is possible from the trains. There are some pretty falls a short distance from the station, and in the vicinity capital fishing is to be had. Keefers—From North Bend the line follows the west side of the canyon, with the river surging and swirling far below. The old Government road, built in the early '60's, and abandoned since the opening of the railway, attracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Three miles above Keefers where it follows the cliffs opposite to the railway, it is forced to the height of a thousand feet above the river, and is pinned by seemingly slender sticks to the face of a gigantic precipice.

Near Kanaka the railway passes through a tunnel directly on to a cantilever bridge, and crosses to the east side of the Fraser River, which Lytton 1 f°11Rws *or a I about six miles to Lytton, a small trading town. Here the railway leaves the valley of the Fraser, and enters the canyon of the Thompson River. The mountains now draw together, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above the struggling river.

The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then, through breaks in thehigh escarpment, snowy peaks are seen glistening above the clouds.

Sometimes the banks are rounded, cfeam- white slopes ; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly followed by an olive-green grass slope, or some white exposure. With this fantastic coloration, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers, monuments, goblins and griffins.

Spence's Bridge—At Spence's Bridge the old wagon road up this valley to the Cariboo gold country crosses the river; and the railway crosses here the mouth of the Nicola River, whose valley to the south is an important grazing and ranching region through which a line has been built to the Village of Nicola. Two miles beyond Basque the hills press close upon the Thompson River, which cuts its way through a winding gorge of almost terrifying gloom and desolation, fitly named the Black Canyon. Emerging, the train follows the river as it flows swiftly among the round-topped, treeless and water-cut hills. Ashcroft has Ashcroft— developed into Alt. 998 ft. ^usfy t0^ being the point of departure for Cariboo, and other gold fields in the northern interior of British Columbia. Trains of freight wagons drawn by from four to ten yoke of oxen and long strings of pack mules, laden with merchandise, depart from and arrive here almost daily. There are extensive cattle ranches in the vicinity, and some farming is done. After leaving Ashcroft the valley begins to widen out, and passing Wal- hachin, where there is the only commercial orchard visible from the main line and through which a Mono Rail system of some ten miles is to be built, the line soon reaches Savona at the foot of Kamloops Lake. From Port Moody to this point the railway was built by the Dominion Government and transferred to the Company in 1886. ..... From Savona Walhachin the line follows Savona *ne south shore of Kamloops Lake for about twenty miles. It is a beautiful hill-girt sheet of water. Quicksilver mines, which it is hoped will prove of great Value, can be seen on the opposite shore of the lake. Near Cherry Crsek a series of mountain spurs project into the lake and are pierced by numerous tunnels one following the other in quick succession.

The north fork of the Thompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and here joins the main river. It is a beautiful spot, whose dry invigorating climate makes it a preeminently desirable resort for sufferers from pulmonary troubk s. The broad valleys intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hills, and streams. Steamboats are on the river, and sawmills briskly at work, Chinese labor being largely employed. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops is an Indian reservation, overlooked by Mount St. Paul. The principal industries around Kamloops are cattle and horse raising and fiuit growing by irrigation. The latter industry is progressing very rapidly, as this district is well adapted for all kinds of fruit culture. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immediate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper. Thence the railway follows up the valley of the South Thompson River and the eye is gladdened by the sight of grass, fenced fields, growing crops, hay stacks, and good farm houses on the level surface, while herds of cattle, sheep and horses roam over the valley and bordering hills in large numbers. This ranching country is one of the garden spots of British Columbia. The people are comparatively old settlers, having come in . from the Pacific Coast. About two miles east of Shuswap station the great Shuswap lakes, the centre of one of the best sporting regions on the line, are reached. Northward within a day caribou are abundant; the deer shooting southward within 30 miles is very good,and on the lakes there is famous sport in deep trolling for trout. For 50 miles the line winds in and out the bending shores, while geese and ducks fly over the waters and light and shadow play upon the opposite banks. This lake with is bordering slopes gives a fine reminder of Scottish scenery. The railway in getting around it leads, at different and many times, towards every one of the thirty-two points of the compass. f Flag Statiors. Ducks, Alt. 1,146 ft. Shuswap, Alt. 1,144ft.

The line then gradually runs down hill until it reaches the level of the water, at Salmon Arm, which it runs entirely round, and then goes for a long distance entirely along the southern shore of the lake. This is a most remarkable body of water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and consequently extends its long narrow arms along the intervening valleys like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. These arms are many miles long, and vary from a few hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and their high, bold shores, fringed by the little narrow beach of sand and pebbles, with alternating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The railway crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at Sicamous Narrows. Sicamow is the the station for mining and agricultural districts to the south where there is large settlement. An excellent Canadian Pacific Railway hotel at Sicamous forms splendid headquarters for those wishing to remain over and shoot, fish or make a daylight trip through the mountains. On Shuswap Lake small craft are always obtainable. There is excellent trout fishing during the proper seasons, between April 1st and July 1st, also Sept. 15th to Nov. 1st, within a few minutes' paddle of the hotel—also at Annsty Lake near the head of Seymour Arm, and White Lake near Copper Island. Both places can easily be reached by boat, and by short trail which the railway company has cut. Grouse shooting in the fall is plentiful and there is deer shooting within a reasonable distance over the hills directly across the lake from the hotel.

Near Kelowna,. on the lake shore, thirty-five miles from Vernon, Lord Aberdeen, formerly Governor-General of Canada, has a fine farm, and another holding of 13,000 acres a few miles from Vernon, employing a small army of men, and growing fruits of all the kinds that the temperate zone will produce. Further down the lake are Peachland and Summerland, which are becoming favorite resorts. This is a 1 and of vineyards and orchards, as well as a Mecca for keen sportsmen, for there is an abundance and variety of large and small game, including caribou, bear, deer, bighorn and mountain goat. On the west side of the lake are numerous bands of wild horses. From Sicamous Junction the transcontinental line ascends the valley of -Eagle River, which cuts through the Gold Range and is filled throughout with a dense growth of immense trees —spruce, Douglas fir, hemlock, cedar, balsam and many other varieties— giants all of them. Malakwa At Craigellachie the last spike was driven in the Canadian Pacific Railway the Craigellachie Alt. 1,222 ft, on Nov. 7, 1885—the rails from east and the west meeting here.

The two peaks southeast, seen from the main line of the railway, are Mackenzie and Tilley, and the most prominent one towards the southwest is Mount Begbie, imposing and glacier- studded. Soon after crossing the river we reach Revelstoke, the northern gateway to the great Kootenay mining camps, by which the trip through Southern British Columbia may be continued over the Crowsnest Pass Route to Dunmore on the plains east of the Rockies where connection is made with the main line. f Flag Stations.

A fine tourist resort- fishing, hunting, boating and mountain climbing can be enjoyed here. Mount Revelstoke, immediately north of the city, can be climbed by the Lind- mark Trail, from which a magnificent view of glaciers, mountain peaks, valleys and rivers are obtained. On the summit of this mountain is one of the mostbeautiful AlpineParksto be found anywhere. A comfortable chalet has been provided for the accommodation of tourists. Fish and game are abundant in the vicinity. The Columbia, which makes a great detour from the east around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway cutsdi- rectlyacross,is here muchlarger thanat Donald, from which it has fallen 1,071 feet, and 28 miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. A steamer makes biweekly trips of some forty miles up the river. To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp, past the famous Halcyon Hot Springs, a well known resort, where there is an excellent hotel with villas. Opposite Halcyon is Halcyon Peak (10,400ft.), and there are pretty waterfalls back of the hotel. There are trails to different points on the lake and to the mountain's crest. Game is plentiful, and there is excellent boating and fishing. From Nakusp there is rail communication with the Slocan and to West Robson, whence different subdivisions lead through the Boundary District to Midway, to Trail and Rossland and to Nelson. Nelson has steamer connection with Kootenay Landing, the present western terminus of the Crowsnest Pass Route, which runs through East Kootenay andSouth- ern Alberta and connects with the main transcontinental line at Dunmore on the plains of Western Canada. (For descriptive notes of this route see pages 60 to 69.) Leaving Revelstoke, the line soon enters the Selkirk Range by the valley of the lllecillewaet River—the firet portion of which is a gorge in which the railway and river appear to dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart.

About Boss Peak station are many silver mines penetrating the crest of one of the lofty hills north of the railway. Passing Ross Peak Siding the line skirts along the base of Cougar Mountain, and looking forward up the valley one of the finest and most magnificent views on the line may be had of the peaks near the summit of the Selkirks, with Sir Donald, the highest of them all, near the centre of the picture. Continuing up the valley, the lllecillewaet is crossed for the thirteenth and last time, and sweeping sharply to the right the line touches the base of Ross Peak, and turning back to the left across the valley leading down from Ross Peak Glacier forms a double loop like the letter S, and continuing to ascend around the mountain side, soon reaches the Glacier House. Glacier House—Alt. 4,086 ft. Station and hotel are within thirty minutes' walk of the lllecillewaet Glacier, from which, at the left, Sir Donald (10,808 ft.) rises a naked and abrupt pyramid, to a height of a mile and a quarter above the railway. This stately monolith was named after Sir Donald Smith (now Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal), one of the chief promoters of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Again to the left, at the west end of Hermit Range, on the south side of Bear Creek, comes Cheops, and in the foreground, far down among the trees, the lllecillewaet glistens across the valley. Somewhat at the left of Cheops the shoulders of Ross Peak are visible over the wooded slope of the mountain behind the hotel, which is called Abbott. Between Ross and Abbott in the background is an enormous wall of snow. This is the Mount Bonney Glacier. To the right of Ross, between Ross and Cheops, a glimpse is caught of the Cougar Valley where are the wonderful caves of Nakimu (Indian for "Grumbling Caves"). These caves, whose recesses have not been fully explored, contain many chambers, some of which are of surprising beauty. Roads are being constructed by which they will be made easy of access. Following the sky-line of Mount Abbott which appears behind the hotel like a forested wall, the eye rests upon another lofty glacier with many peaks shooting up through the snow. This is the Asulkan Glacier in the Valley of the Asulkan Creek, a gem of mountain beauty, where a series of white cascades foam through vistas of dark spruce and fir, where falls leap from ledges above in clouds of flying spray, and shining open meadows lead the traveller to listen for the tinkle of the Alpine herd. The peaks going from right to left are—Afton, the sharp apex; the Rampart, an oblong wall ; the Dome, a rounded rock; Castor and Pollux, two sharp spires farthest south. Ta the left of the Asulkan Glacier comes a forested dome, Glacier Crest, the western boundary of the Great lllecillewaet Glacier, which is banked on the other side by the lower slopes of Sir Donald, from whose summit an immense number of glaciers can be seen. The hotel not only serves as a dining station for passing trains, but also affords a most delightful stopping place for tourists who wish to hunt or explore the surrounding mountains or glaciers. Here in the heart of the Selkirks every comfort and luxury are found, and here many gather annually to spend the summer amidst the wonders of nature. The Company has built a large annex to the hotel to ac- commodatetheincreasingtourist travel that is not satisfied with the short stop made by train, and this has been recently enlarged.

Several good trails have been made to it, and its exploration is practicable. A splendid view can be obtained of the Great Glacier from Glacier Crest to the left.rpf the Great Glacier, and 3,000 feet above the hotel another view is from the trail at the foot of Sir Donald which is to the right of the ice. Easy trails also lead to Marion Lake; to Mount Abbott, 1,573 feet above the valley ; to Cascade summer house, opposite the hotel high among the trees directly above the mountain torrent, seen tumbling down the green shoulder from Avalanche Peak ; to the head of the Asulkan Valley, where the ice flow of two main branches of the glacier meet; and to the summits of Mounts Avalanche and Abbott. Good routes have also been mapped by the guides up Eagl e and Sir Donald; the former being an easy climb. This peak is so named on account of a large rock figure exactly resembling an eagl'3 perched upon the knife-sharp edge of the mountain. It is seen to best advantage from the trail leading to Mount Avalanche. Rogers' Pass above, and The Loop below, are within an easy walk. A glacial stream has been caught and furnishes fountains about the hotel. Game is very abundant throughout these lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the mountain goat, which are seldom found south of Canada. Bears also are seen frequently in this vicinity. Curving sharply to the left the train passes a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is provided that the summer scenery may not be lost), and continuing to ascend along the slopes of the Summit Peaks, the line soon crosses the summit of th© SGlkirlrs Selkirk Summit—Alt. 4,351 ft.—Summit of the pass.

Rogers' Pass—Alt. 4,302 ft. Tbis pass was named after Major A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 1881, previous to which no human foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigious amphitheatre, under whose parapet, five or six thousand feet above the valley, half-a- dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. In this direction, at the head of the largest glacier may be seen a group of sharp serrated peaks, clear cut against the sky. The tallest is Swiss Peak, so called in honor of the members of the Swiss Alpine Club who first stood upon its highest pinnacle. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which Tupper and Macdonald are among the chief, can never be forgotten by the fortunate .traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-storm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on the edge of one of the crags shapes itself out of the rocks, and gives the name of Hermit to the sub-range. The way is between enormous precipices. Mount Macdonald towers above the railway a mile in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's throw distant, and it is so sheer, so bare and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. These two matchless mountains apparently were once united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature rent them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. On the south stretches the line of peaks connecting Macdonald with Sir Donald, Uto, Eagle and Avalanche, from south to north—the rear slope of which were seen in ascending the Beaver. This pass valley has been reserved by the Government as a national park. From the summit the line follows down the valley of Bear Creek, and after leaving the station at Rogers' Pass it clings to the base of Tupper Mountain, whose clustered spires face Leave 12.55 Peaks glacie Roger Mo Leave 3.40 and rs in i' Pass unt Macd onald A National Res k'rve 2473 TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL ROUTE 25 Miles from f Vanc'r Eastbo'd Trains Torontol Imperii Express Limited STATIONS—Descriptive Notes 432 t snow he sheds Des of Beaver cent the Valley Superb of Selk view the irks Beaver Big and Valley Trees those of Mount Macdonald, nearly as high. About four miles from Rogers' Pass station the line turns to the left into the valley of the Beaver, and near Bear Creek station a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Tupper Mountain, through a gap in the cliffs on the left. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a long distance. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west slope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of .massive timber work. They are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove-tailed and. bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the mountain's sides in such a manner as to bid defiance to the most terrible avalanche. Bear Creek—Alt. 3,663 ft.—The line now descends the left bank of the Beaver, where it is notched into the steep mountain side a thousand feet above the river, which appears as a silver thread winding through the narrow and densely forested valley. The principal difficulty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, which come down many of them in splendid cascades, through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek—a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped channel, 300 feet below the rails—one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. A little further on is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this magnificient picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise. From Mountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high mountains northward behind, one sees up the Beaver valley a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in Mount Sir Donald, with which acquaintance was made ■ at Glacier House. Opposite is a line of huge tree-clad hills, occasionally showing snow-covered heads above the timber line.

At the right the highest peaks of the Ottertail Mountains rise abruptly to an immense height and looking south the Beaverfoot range extends in orderly array as far as the eye can reach. Just before reaching Leanchoil, the Canadian National Park, in which are embraced the Yoho Valley, the Great Divide, Lakes in the Clouds, and the Bow Valley to the eastern foothills of the Rockies, is entered. This magnificent domain of about 6,000 square miles is a public pleasure ground that is without a rival. At Leanchoil Leanchoil Ottertasl Alt. 3,967 ft. the Beaver-foot River comes in from the south and joins the Kicking Horse River, which stream is followed to the summit of the Rockies. Mount Goodsir (11,6(>3 ft.), the highest of the Ottertail group, is seen from Ottertail Creek. The Ottertail range to the light appears sheer and pinnacled, with no amphitheatre among the craggy heights, while the Van Home to the right are ochre-colored in their slopes and show an undulating succession of troughand crest among their summits. The • railway, which runs due north to Ottertail, gradually curves in a northeasterly direction, ascending the valley of the "Wapta, lying between the Ottertail ami Van Home ranges, and enters the flats of the Kicking Horse just before reaching Field.

Trails lead along the mountains' side and through the valley, and shelters have been erected for the convenience of visitors to this new wonderland of the Yoho Valley. Here are some of the highest peaks and finest scenery in the Rockies. En route to the valley there is a natural bridge, and Emerald Lake, 7 miles from Field, is one of the most charming of mountain waters. Here a comfortable chalet has been erected by the railway company. On the shoulder of Mount Stephen is a fossil bed, rich in rare specimens of trilobite. During the summer Swiss guides are stationed here to accompany tourists and mountain climbers. Looking down the valley from the hotel, the Van Home range is seen on the right. Coming from the west the road first enters the new spiral tunnel of 2,910 feet, under Mount Ogden. Emerging from the tunnel the track runs back west across the Kicking Horse river, and then enters the corkscrew tunnel of 3,200 feet under Cathedral Mountain, and after describing an elliptic curve emerges to again run along the Kicking Horse Valley. The whole thing is a perfect maze, the railway doubling back upon itself twice, tunnelling under mountains and crossing the river twice in order to cut down the grade. Put in brief, the work which has now been completed is as follows :— Length of two tunnels, IJ miles; length of cutting outside of tunnels, 7 miles ; increase in length of track, 4\ miles ; reduction in grade, from 4.5 to 2.2; approximate cost of work, $1,500,000; number of men employed, about 1,000, with complete outfit of steam equipment. Time of work, twenty months, from October, 1907,' to July, 1909; 75 carloads of dynamite were used, or upwards of 1,500,000 pounds of the explosive. The cost of explosives alone came to over $250,000. During the tunnel work, for the first time in Canada, steam shovels were operated by compressed air, one of these machines was installed at the working head in each tunnel, the cutting being worked from opposite ends. Despite the complicated work caused by the spiral shape of the tunnels, they met exactly, and the work has been completed with marvellous exactness.

The result of this work is, that whereas on the old track with its big grade it took four engines to handle a train, now only two engines are needed. The four engines used to be able to only make four or five miles an hour, now the two engines are able to make twenty-five. In _ this way the cost of operating a train over this difficult piece of line is cut to about one-third of the old cost, with an improvement in the time of running, while the element of danger inseparable from high grades, has been practically eliminated. It is these factors which have induced the C. P. R. to go to such tremendous expense to reduce this famous "Big Hill" grade. The railway rounds the base of Mount Stephen, on whose side can be seen a silver lead mine at an altitude of 2,500 feet, and climbs the last of the great ranges. The scenery is sublime and overwhelming in its grandeur. The line ascends rapidly crossing the deep gorge of the Kicking Horse and skirting the Hector—Alt. 5,207 ft. beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector. At the "Great Divide" where a sparkling stream separates into two waters, one flowing to the Pacific and the other to Hudson Bay, the backbone of the continent is reached. The station at the summit of the Rocky Mountains, like the stupendous mountain some miles behind, one of the chief peaks in the Rockies in this latitude is named in honor of the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In descending a tributary of the Bow River, the huge peak of Mount Daly can be seen with its crescent shaped glacier a dozen miles away and 1,300 feet above you._ The first stop is at Lageyan, the station for the Lakes in the Clouds. At Laggan surefooted ponies or rigs may be taken to the Lakes in the Clouds, famed the world over for their unsurpassable beauty.

Trails also lead to Paradise Valley, to the Valley of the Ten Peaks, and to other sequestered spots. No more delightful place is imaginable than these lovely stretches of water in cloudland. Shelters have recently been constructed for the accommodation of tourists. They are within easy distance of the chalet, and are of especial benefit to amateur photographers who delight in catching the lights and shadows of the superb views of the locality. To enable visitors to climb and explore in safety, the Canadian Pacific Railway brings from Switzerland a number of Alpine guides of the very highest class. One of these is always stationed at Lake Louise. The others will be found at Field, Emerald Lake and Glacier. Here a splendid monument has been erected to Sir James Hector, the explorer. The railway runs down the forested Bow Valley, which is sentinelled by mountains exceedingly grand and prominent. Those on the left (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sharply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mountains, in the foreground. On the right the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden promontories. The gap of Vermilion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of many a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermilion River flows westward into the Kootenay. Most prominent on the east side are the precipitous face of Storm Mountain (10,309 ft), and the snow dome of Mount Ball (10,825 ft.). To the right standing supreme over this part of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Temple (11,626 ft.), the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama. This great mountain becomes visible almost from the "Divide" and is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley, which has been referred to by one writer as an "amphitheatre of scenicglory."

Castle—Alt. 4,657 feet.—Castle is the station at the base of the great eminence known as Castle Mountain. The views forward and to the rear are delightfully surprising. The Vermilion Lakes are skirted, and an excellent view is had of Mount Bourgeau and the snow-peaks far to the west, enclosing Simpson's Pass. Hole-in- the-Wall Mountain is passed on the left. This mountain has a remarkable cave which can be entered for 160 feet, where a chimney-like aperture gives a glimpse of the sky. The cave is 1,500 feet above the valley. Banff—Alt. 4,521 ft.—Station for Canadian National Park and Hot Springs. This park is a National Reservation of 5,732 square miles, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray and Cascade rivers, Lake Minnewanka and several noble mountain ranges, and beyond the "Divide," the Yoho Valley and the country to the west and south of it. The Park is the largest in the world, being nearly half as large again as the famous Yellowstone Park in the States. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleasing scenery, and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridle-paths have been made. The railway station at Banff is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mountain (9,825_ ft.) ; eastward is Mount Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Lake Minnewanka. South-eastward from Inglismaldie, in the same range of the Fairholmes, the sharp cone of Peechee (called after an Indian chief), closes the view in that direction; this is one of the highest mountains visible. To the left of Cascade Mountain, and just north of the track rises the wooded ridge of Stoney Squaw Mountain, beneath which lie the Vermilion Lakes, seen j ust before reaching the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant snowy central heights of the Main range about Simpson's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mount Bourgeau.

Near the station is a large corral of 800 acres in which are about 100 buffalo. Li well-conBtructed cages are specimens of the various wild animals found in the Rocky Mountains. The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Banff Hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the Railway Company, on an eminence between the foaming falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot sulphur springs, is kept open from May to October, and hither people from all lands flock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. There are also a sanatorium and hospital in the village, and a museum of more than local interest has been established by th e Government. Eight mil es from Banff is Lake Minnewanka, on which a fine launch has been placed. There is capital fishing, the trout being of extraordinary size. Wild sheep (the big horn) and mountain goats are occasionally to be seen on the neighboring heights. Some extraordinary fossil remains and markings of mammoth pre-historic creatures are found on the mountain slopes surrounding this lake, as well as on Cascade Mountain. At the upper end of the lake is the valley of Ghost River, a strange region where the mountain rivulets gurgle off into subterranean reservoirs and the granite walls are pitted with caves. Between Banff and the lake is Bankhead, where are located the anthracite mines, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, whose output will shortly provide the country as far east as Winnipeg with fuel. The hot springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mountain, the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reached by fine roads, commanding glorious landscapes.

Since the opening of ihe railway, these springs have been largely visited, and testimony to their wonderful curative properties is plentiful. Twenty miles south of Banff is Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the new world, the ascent of which, after several unsuccessful attempts, was made in the autumn of 1901 by the Rev. James Outram and a party of Swiss guides. The way to it leads through beautiful valleys studded with transparent blue lakes and park-like prairie' openings. Just after leaving Bankhead the station, the tr ai n ' passes along a large corral of 800 acres already described. The railway skirts the base of Cascade Mountain and follows Cascade Creek until after Anthracite is passed, when it rejoins the Bow. Halfway between Anthracite and Canmore, the park is left. Near Canmore Canmore Alt. 4,283 ft are large coal mines. A striking profile of the Three Sisters is obtained, with Wind and Pigeon mountains looming up beyond.

The jaggedness of profile observed is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth and slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and miles of breadth and thousands of feet thick, have been pushed straight up, so that their strata remain almost as level as before; others are tilted more or less on edge (always on this slope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position ; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side-pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavels. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has disappeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can maintain a foothold, and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admirable features of the scenery.

A railway divisional point, on a pretty stream of the same name. Swift Current is in the centre of a very large agricultural district extending from the Cypress Hills on the south to the Saskatchewan River on the north. The soil is particularly adapted for grain farming, and the country is being rapidly filled up with American and Canadian settlers. There are now seven grain elevators and a large flour mill here. The Government has erected a Meteorological Observing Station. From Swift Current to Moose Jaw the line steadily falls on the eastern slope of the Coteau, and winds through an irregular depression to the basin of the Chaplin Lakes—formerly known as the Old Wives' Lakes— extensive bodies of alkaline water having no outlet. The northern-most of these lakes is reached at Hush Lake, a large area of fresh water and a favorite resort of waterfowl—swans, geese, ducks and pelicans—which at times congregate here in -myriads. Chaplin is on a comparatively large body of water, Lake Chaplain, south of which is Lake Johnson.

The falls are best reached from Fort William by railway. Fort William—Pop. 16,498—A short distance from the mouth of the Kaministikwia River, a broad, deep stream with firm banks, affording extraordinary advantages for lake traffic with a waterfront of 26 miles. From the beauty of its situation, its accessibility and the opportunities for sport in the neighborhood, it has become a favorite resort for tourists, and is rapidly becoming an important commercial centre.

Pie Island, another mountain of columnar basalt, divides the entrance to. the bay, which is flanked on the west by Mackay Mountain, overlooking Fort William. Looking west, between Pie Island and Thunder Cape, Isle Royale (now become a popular summer resort) may be seen in the distance. Fort William was formerly a very important Hudson's Bay Company's post, and was the great rendezvous of the hunters, voyageurs and chief factors of the Company.

A mile from Heron Bay the Big Pic River is crossed by a high iron bridge, and from occasional rocky uplifts a level tract is found. From Hound Lake the railway follows the White River to the station of the same name.

Within a few miles of Sudbury, and reached by two short lines of railway, are the most extensive copper and nickel deposits known in the world, and tne vicinity has also, in the Moose Mountain Range, the largest iron range in Canada. Large quantities of the ores have been shipped from the mines, and a number of smelting furnaces are in operation near Sudbury, reducing the ores on the spot. North Bay—Pop. 7,718. The capital town of Nipissing District, situated on Lake Nipissing, an extensive and beautiful sheet of water, 90 miles long and 20 wide, with forest-clad shores and islands. Small steamers ply on the lake, and the district is much frequented by sportsmen. North Bay is a railway divisional point, .with repair shops, etc. The Ontario Government Railway, known as the Timiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, runs from here to Cobalt, Cochrane, etc., in the Timiskaming country. This railway has been materially assisted in its traffic by some famous mineral discoveries madealong this line, the chief being the Cobalt silver mines. From Lake Nipissing the railway traverses a somewhat wild and broken country with frequent lakes and rapid streams. Fishing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding saw-mills continue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. There is plenty of good land near by, but the railway here, as in otherplaces, follows the streams and the "breaks" in the country, and the best is not seen from the car windows. Nearing Sturgeon Falls the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. Sturgeon Falls is a thriving village with a saw-mill and several churches.

From this point a subdivision runs up to Timiskaming and Kipawa, from each of which famous fishing and hunting grounds may easily be reached. At Timiskaming there is steamer connection from Haiieybury, from which place canoes and guides can be procured, and an endless series of trips, unsurpassed anywhere, can be made including those to the peerless Tima- gami distaict. From Kipawa, exploration of the beautiful lake of the same name furnishes an ideal holiday. Those who love the wild will find their every desire satisfied in this part of the country, game and fish being in plenty, and the comforts of civilization not too far off. it is also a favorite centre for moose hunters, and with good reason.

From Mattawa to Pembroke the railway continues along the west bank of the Ottawa, whose valley narrows and the Ottawa flows deeply between the increasing hills. Little towns are growing up around the saw-mills, which occur wherever water-power is to be had. Pembroke (pop. 5,624) is the most important town on this section of the line, having many substantial industries and commanding a large part of the trade of the lumbering districts towards the north. Thistle The Ottawa river Petewawa is a8ain naviga ble for a consid- Stafford erable distance above and below Pembroke . and steamboats are frequently seen. From Renfrew (pop. 3,500) a subdivision runs to Eganville, and it is also the junction of the Kingston & Pembroke Railway, extending southward through a district abounding in iron to Kingston, on the St. Lawrence. Arnprior (pop.4,395) andPakenham (pop. 2,200) are also important manufacturing points, lumber milling being a large industry. Proceeding to Carleton Place the line follows the beautiful Ottawa Valley, which, from Pembroke south easterly, is well cultivated by English, Scotch and German farmers. Large clear streams come rushing down to the Ottawa from the hills at the west, and these, and the Ottawa as well, afford fine fishing—Maskinonge, trout and bass being common. There are frequent bright and busy manufacturing towns, and saw-mills occur at favorable places all along the river. At Almonte (pop. 3,500), are large woollen mills and other manufactories.

The Chaudiere Falls, which here interrupt the navigation of the Ottawa River, afford water power for a host of saw-mills and other manufactories. Vast quantities of lumber are made here from logs floated down from the Ottawa River and its tributaries. The city stands on high ground overlooking a wide valley, and contains many fine residences, the Royal Mint, the Victoria Museum, large hotels, etc. The stately Government buildings overshadow all. Rideau Hali, the residence of the Governor-General, is within the city limits. Many improvements have been made in Ottawa at the cost of the Federal Government, and it is now held to be worthy of the title " The Washington of the North" and visitors agree that the title is not inapt. The driveways in and about Ottawa are unexcelled. Indeed it has been said to be the most picturesque Capital in the world. Ottawa possesses charms of situation and surroundings which, coupled with the foresight which has characterized the layiig out of the city, have made it one of which not only every citizen, but also every Canadian, may well be proud. A subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway extends southward to Prescotton the St. Lawrence, where ferry connection is made with Ogdensburg, N.Y., and rail lines to New York. Leaving Ottawa the main line crosses a long iron bridge, from which a fine view of the Chaudiere Falls is obtained, and enters Hull (pop. 17,858) in the Province of Quebec and then recrosses the Ottawa river by the Alexandra bridge to the Sparks St. Station in the heart of Ottawa.

After leaving Winnipeg the line runs up the fertile valley of the Red River of the North. On either f-ide are seen great stretches of prairie land that are now mostly under the plough. Thriving settlements are passed every few miles, and the country has an air of great, almost unrivalled, prosperity. In olden days Fort Garry and the Red River settlement were reached by following the current, firstly, in voyageurs' bateaux and later in shallow- draught steamboats, and settlers took up land along the river many years before the back country was opened consequently some of the farms have been under cultivation for several generations. Fifty-five miles after leaving Winnipeg Dominion City (population 400) is reached. - Sixty-five miles from Winnipeg the boundary is crossed at Emerson (population 1,500) tbe most southerly town of the Province of Manitoba. Emerson has grown rapidly during the past few years and promises to attain to a much more prominent posi-, tion in the near future, being now an important station on the new through Canadian Pacific line between Winnipeg and the south. When Emerson is reached the train leaves the wheat belt of Manitoba, a part of what is rapidly becoming the greatest wheat producing country in the world.

From this Reservation southward to Alexandria the scenery in its nature varies but little, being a succession ol well-tilled farms, of beautilul groves ot magnificent timber and of picturesque sheets of sparkling spring watei. The towns are in close proximity to each other, the country being rich enough to support many busy business centres without having long distances intervene. Between Emerson and Detroit the country is far less well developed, and although farmed to some extent is as yet almost virgin territory. But for fishing and snooting it stands without a peer. The fish predominating is of course the black baso, although, pike, pickerel, crappies and perch are plentiful. Througm ut the country north > f Detroit and thr ugh the reservations the lake-, and there are many, are virgin. Game is plentiful ; prairie chicken are found everywhere, and duck of a dozen varieties flock to the immense feeding grounds of wild rice and celery. Partridge and quail are plentiful, and the goose shooting is also good in the season. The reserves witn their great tracts of standing pine are a refuge for all kinds of game. Detroit is an old established t wn of this section of the country, the last census giving it the credit of about three thousand people. It is far-famed as a summer resort, being finely located in the midst of numerous lakes, and having within a small radius a great number of summer hotels and cottages. It is a business centre of importance, and is recognized as one of the coming cities of the State. Altona, Dent and Richville are all located advantageously in splendid farming country and are towns of great promise. Ottertail is located on the shores of the great Ottertail Lake, and already has a population of several hundred. Of Alexandria, which is quite an important town, it may be said, as ol the farming country north and south, that it has seen years enough to remove from it many of the necessary marks of early rawness. In the city are well madestreetswithsymmetrical trees, lawns well kept, and a type of residences that tehs of prosperous content after strenuous years. It is completely surrounded by lakes.

The route is now by main line on to the Twin Cities, The lakey way in the firmament of Minnesota lakes much resembles in outline a gigantic fish-hook, with the eye at the Twin Cities, the shaft running northwest, as though in ages past some titanic Thief River Falls bass had struggled withit. This belt is not comparatively wide through the first hundred miles of itsdength out from the Twin Cities,but broadens as it turns northward, a territory at once the beauty spot and the black bass preserve of the great West. West of this region the country smoothes down and sobers off into the famous prairies of the Red River Valley, every foot of which is capable of furnishing its quota of wheat,corn and other cultivated crops. East, the land varies from prairie to pinery, but the Park Region itself is a territory with slightly rolling surface, where wood rimmed lakes are divided by wooded prairies and where prosperous farming has not harmed but heightened the charm of the scenery.

Eugene Consolidated, one of the largest silver-lead properties in the world. Game is abundant in the locality—both large and small— and there is capital fishing. The line closely follows the winding shores of Moyie Lake, the waters of which, occupying the whole valley, force the railway into the mountain's sides. Leaving Swansea, a park-like country is entered, through which flow several streams, from some of which gold has been extracted. A northerly course is followed to Cranbrook, one of the most prettily located towns in British Columbia. Cranbrook—Alt. 2,911 ft—Pop. 4,000. The broad valley between the Selkirks and the Rockies in which Cranbrook lies is a fertile stretch, in which are ranches, small farms, and budding orchards. The town itself shows every indication of prosperity and progress, being the supply point for the mines and ranches in the vicinity. Col. Baker has here a ranch of several thousand acres. Cranbrook has already become a centre of great importance. It is the chief divisional point on the Crowsnest Pass Route, and has, besides the shops of the railway, a number of well-stocked stores, chartered bank, hotels, churches, schools, etc. It is the principal lumbering point in East Kootenay, having four sawmills operating within its limits. /Flag Stations. al4.55 Game and Fish 14.21 360 350 344 339 331 333 317 /13.00/1340 al2.50al3.30 309 SO 64 CROWSNEST PASS ROUTE If m Miles from Soo Koote' y Spok'ne Landi'g East bound Train 93 105 115 Leave 128 138 144 /16.18 16.42 17.06 STATIONS—Descriptive Notes Westbound Train Soo Spok'ne Miles from D'nm're The town is lighted by electricity, and as a residential town it has no superior in.

The grandeur of the mountains is not lost, and the giants of both the ranges can be viewed from the tiain with scarcely any obstruction. After penetrating natural park lands perfectly clear of undergrowth, the valley of the Kootenay is reached. The course has been in a southeasterly direction, and follows the Kootenay River, which is crossed at Wardner, on a magnificent Howe truss bridge. The Kootenay flows to the south, and deflecting in Idaho, returns to Canadian territory near Kootenay Landing, where its waters pour into Kootenay Lake. Lofty peaks and frowning precipices confront one—those of the last great ranee, the Rockies, the backbone of the continent. The three isolated peaks are called the "Steeples." The next station is Elko, which is des- Alt. 3,080 ft. Morrissey Cokato tined to be the market town for the Tobacco Plains and the farming settlements to the south. The utilization of the water power of the Elk at this point should make this town one of great importance. Beyond Elko, the Elk River is crossed, and about a mile below is the Elk River Canyon, which extends for several miles. The water drops 600 feet in that distance, and being compressed between narrow vertical walls, turbulently rushes through the canyon. The scenery here rivals that of the Fraser and Thompson Canyons. The rail way turns northeasterly, following the Elk for over 40 miles. Along the Elk thick seams of coal crop out, for here are the great coal fields of East Kootenay, wnich are said to be the largest undeveloped coal measures in the world. Coal exists to the summit of the Rockies, and beyond the pass it is again found underlying vast areas.

Already a large number of coke ovens are in operation, and as the supply of coal is inexhaustible, these will be increased as the demand for coke by the smelters of the pr6- vince becomes greater. The coal mines are five miles to the south and are connected with the town by a branch railway. The railway continues up along the Elk to Michel, at its junction with Michel Creek, where coal mining operations are in progress. Thence it fo'lows the Michel and climbs up the mountain sides, making some amazing tarns and twists to gain higher ground. By the "Loop" nearly three miles are travelled to make a height of less than 200 feet— the road doubling back on itself to within a stone's throw of its course directly below. Summit Lake and Crowsnest are reached at an altitude of 4,410 feet. A short distauce east the summit of the Rockies i s crossed at an altitude of 4,427 feet. Here is the dividing line between British Columbia and Alberta, and a mountain stream separating its waters flows both to the east and to the west, one emptying finallyin Hudson Bay and one in the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after the descent is commenced Island Lake, a placid hill-girt stretch, is skirted at an altitude of 4,409 feet, and beyond is Crowsnest Lake (alt. 4,390 ft,), whose western bank is followed for several miles.

The capital and chief city of Ontario, and the next city to Montreal in the Dominion. It is situated on Lake Ontario and has a most complete railway system, reaching out to every important place and district in the province. It has immense manufacturing establishments,and some of the largest commercial houses in the country. The highest office building in the British Empire is now being erected at the comer of King and Yonge streets by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its educational institutions are widely known. Its people are nearly all of English, Irish or Scotch extraction, and while the city has strongly marked english characteristics, it is distinctively western in the intensity of its activity and energy. In addition to the other numerous railway lines of the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies centering here, the Northern Division of the Grand Trunk Railway System extends northward, past Lake Simcoe, to North Bay on Lake Nipissing, where it connects with the Canadian Pacific Railway's Transcontinental Line. Canadian Pacific trains run via Hamilton and Welland to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, making close connections for Rochester, Syracuse, Troy, Albany and New York. At West Toronto the London and Muskoka sections of the Canadian Pacific Railway diverge, the former extending to London and Detroit, connecting at the latter point with the Wabash Rd. for St. Louis, Chicago and other western United States points. The Muskoka section runs northward to the great Lakes Ports and via the Muskoka Lakes and Georgian Bay route to Sudbury where it unites with the Vancouver-Montreal line.

From its ashes has arisen a b ight, progressive city, with nothing to-day to indicate the awful calamity which then befell it. Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simplicity, is lost, but new St. John fills her place admirably, and is now a busy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city—the winter port for the Atlantic steamers—and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor. An inspection of the fine Docks to which the Dominion Government are building large additions and different craft being always of special interest to a visitor. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis River, is one of the finest rowing courses in the world. A trip up the St. John River to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream: Steamers ply every week day between St. John and Digby, where connection is made with the Dominion Atlantic Railway for Halifax and Yarmouth, this being a favorite route between the chief cities of the two provinces, the railway traversing the land of national and romantic associations, the matchless Annapolis Valley, the scene of many a stirring incident in olden days, and famed the world over as the home of Longfellow's Evangeline.

An interesting feature of the river is the "Bore" of the incoming tide, when the water rushes up with great force in a huge wave, often several feet high, that fills the empty riverbed. Moncton—Population ll,329,situated on a bend of the Petitcodiac River. It is the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway System, the chief offices and workshops of which are located here. It has many important industries, including a cotton mill, foundry and wood-working and clothing factories.

Moose are found in the Stewiacke Mountains, and Caribou about Pembroke ; grouse are plentiful, and geese, brant, duck, curlew and snipe are common in the spring and fall. From Truro a branch line runs to Pictou, where steamers depart for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and another branch runs to New Glasgow and Mulgrave, on the Straits of Canso, connecting with steamers from Cape Breton Island, and with the extension of the railway through the Island to thejpalneys, which have become great industrial centres and give promise of further future development. From them, historic Louisbourg is easily reached by rail. A capital service has been inaugurated between North Sydney and Port aux Basques, Newfoundland—the sea voyage only occupying six hours—there connecting with the Reid-Newfoundland Co.'s Ry., which traverses the island to St. John's on the eastern coast, and by these delightful excursions can be made. The Reid-Newfoundland Co. also controls the steamer service to the Labrador Coast.

As the settlement grew, and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated, or offers views from its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands are the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which is the Chateau Frontenac, on Dufferin Terrace, a magnificent fireproof structure. Lower Town is the commercial quarter, and abounds in irregular, narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence, and the northern lumbering regions draw their, merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport, and the city is not only a favorite summer resort, but its attractions in winter, both in amusements and the health-giving qualities of the climate, are yearly becoming more popular. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicoutimi and the head waters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the opposite bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Canadian Pacific, Allan, Dominion and several other lines call here in summer, and local steamers depart for the Lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers.

The passage is generally a very pleasant one, and with experienced and courteous officers the traveller is assured of safety, comfort and pleasure. The steamships "Empress of India," and 'Empress of Japan,' built under contract with the Imperial Government to carry the Royal Mails, are staunch, speedy and spacious. They are uniformly built of 6,000 tons burthen, are 485 ft. in length, with 61 ft. breadth of beam, and are fitted with twin-screws. They are of 10,000 horse power, have triple expansion engines, and steam 19 knots per hour. The cabins are large and roomy and contain all the modern improvements, many new features being added, and no expense spared in their luxurious fittings. The promenades are extensive and free from obstructions. The Saloons, Smoking Booms, Social Halls and all passenger accommodation are amidships, and very comfortable. The vessels are lighted throughout with electricity, and have all modern appliances and conveniences. '*fii The steamship "Monteagle" (5,500 tons), is a staunchly built ship, which, owing to the increasing requirements of the transpacific trade, has been placed on regular schedule between Vancouver and Hong Kong, and classed 100 Al at Lloyds. It has excellent accommodation for passengers, the staterooms being large, comfortable and perfectly ventilated. The dining saloons, cabins and smoking rooms are excellently equipped and are second only to those of the Canadian Pacific " Empress " steamships. This vessel is also lighted throughout by electricity and fitted with triple expansion engines.

Passengers for the "Monteagle" should embark at Vancouver. The "Monteagle" does not carry first cabin passengers. As a measure of precaution, passengers should arrange to arrive in Vancouver the day previous to the scheduled date of sailing. Connections are made at Yokohama and Kobe with steamers to and from all parts of Japan and Corea, also for North China Ports ; at Shanghai for North China, Mid- China and the Yangtse River Ports; and at Hong Kong for South China, Tonkin, Manila, the Straits Settlements, Australia. India, and Europe, via Suez. The usual stay at intermediate ports is: Yokohama, 24 hours; Kobe, 12 hours: Nagasaki, 10 hours ; Shanghai, W-to 24 hours,_^ccording to tide. These periods may be reduced or increased, according to circumstances. Passengers should ascertain from Company's Agents at those ports the exact hours of departure. (92) CANADIAN-AUSTRALIAN ROYAL MAIL S.S. LINE (Subject to change without notice) This line has become the favorite route between Europe and America and the Antipodes. Monthly sailings in both directions, via Honolulu, H.I., and Suva, Fiji, are made. The magnificently equipped steamships Zealandia, Marama and Makura are specially adapted for long sea voyages. Honolulu, the chief city of the Hawaiian group, is a port of call for the Canadian-Australian steamships, where the first glimpse of the dreamy native life of the Pacifio is had. Here perpetual summer reigns, and the fragrance of flowers unceasingly fills the air. The wealth of tropical vegetation, the abundance of fruit, the waving palms, the wide acres of sugar cane, the happy natives, and the sea breaking in long rolling waves over the coral reefs, backed by the volcanic hills—all these make up a picture that emphasizes the qovelty and augments the charms of loitering in this Paradise of the Pacific. The attractions of Hawaii are almost illimitable, but they are so grouped that many can be seen in a remarkably brief time. Pleasure steamers make regular trips to the various points of interest on the different islands which constitute this Wonderland of the Pacific, and a perfect system has been adopted for the conveyance and housing of tourists at moderate rates. The option of stop-overs is allowed first cabin passengers en route, and at Honolulu many take advantage of this privilege and remain to enjoy the strange sights to be seen in the Isles of the Pacific.

(96^ "~" CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (Land Branch) The Ganadian Pacifio Railway Company owns about 7,000,000 acres of choice farm lands alone the Company's main line and branches in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, and offers land suitable for grain growing, poultry raising, dairying, mixed farming, ranching and fruit growing at reasonable prices and on long terms of payment. The first prize of $1,000 for the best wheat in the world was awarded to a-Western Canada farmer at New York Land Show, and farmers on our low priced lands won first, second and third prizes for wheat in competition with the world. The Company is developing, by means of irrigation, 3,000,000 acres in the Bow River Valley, Sunny Alberta, where combination farms, partly irrigated and partly non-irrigated, are within the reach of all. Small fruits, alfalfa and all grain, root and fodder crops do excellently on the irrigated portions, while winter wheat and cereals, etc., show good results on the non- irrigated portions, besides providing the world's finest pasture. The past year's average grain yields in the Bow River Valley were spring wheat 18, winter wheat 20, oats 50, barley 32, flax 10. These and similar yields, good markets, low taxation, cheap living, abundance of water, and the valley's unexcelled .climate lead thousands to establish homes upon Western Canada's fertile lands.
