He declared that to New Zealanders the American revolution seems a beneficent thing from which New Zealand's present freedom flowed One needs but to see the two principal cilleB of the far-away island com-mpnweultli lo realize thut America and New Zealand have very much ln common. "As hilly as San Francisco or Kio de Janeiro," "as land-locked as Seattle," "aB windy us Chicago" are phrases used by truvelers to describe Wellington. They will help Amerl cans to construct a picture of the capital city of New Zealand. Wellington has the best situation geographically of ull New Zealand cities, for Its harbor opens on Cook strait, the natural wuter roadway that splits New Zealand's land roughly lnoo two parts. Situated on tli* southern tip ol North land, the city is almost exactly at the geographical center of ithe dominion, und in u position from which steamers can reach the ports of both islands by the sshortest voyages. Because of this strategic central situation Wellington took from Auckland ln 1**4 the capital of the dominion, in mm mmm Altiiihogh Wellington undoubtedly has the best location with regard to New Zealand, it has not yet over- conile Aucland's advantageous position for the South sea trade and the fact that 'both tlie big New Zealand ports can be reached with about equa ease from Sydney. Wellington's population is short of 120,000, but it is growing with greot rapidity and may yet overtake tnat of its larger city to the north. As is the case With Sydney, Auckland, Hobart and Melbourne, Wellington oWes much of its prosperity to its excellent harbor. Shipping enters through a relatively narrow bot-' tie neck to find a great, broad lake; like body of water opening out beyond. The city of Wellington Hss on the southwestern side of the harbor. Only a narrow strip along the coast is level and a considerable part of this has been reclaimed by filling in a ipart of thie baiibor. On this level plot near the water is th e business section of the city and tlie government buildings. Wellington obviously has been cramped by its hills; but just as obviously-it has struck out to conquer them. Few; cities have bad to go in so deeply for engineering enterprises In order to expand. The hills rise steeply to heights of 700 feet and more. For years the city builders of Wellington have beencarving and terracing their slopes, filling in gullies, tearing away ridges and building innumerable retaining walls and bridges, and the work will go on. Streets outside the level plot wind snakily along slopes, working ever higher and higher. As in, 'Rio de Janeiro one .'man's house looks down upon the root of his neighbor's below, and in turn* Ib looked down upon by his neighbors aboveOn some oi the hills houses have been built all the way to the crest, and each year sees on other hills a revision upward of the "high house murk." The city of Wellington is deeply in buBiiioas .oi' its citizens. It owns its waterworks, electric power and light plant, ice factory, street railway lines, cemeteries, public baths.slaugh- ter houses, and has a municipal monopoly for the distribution of milk. Auckland, Which was called "Last, loneliest, loveliest," by Kipling, may still seem lonely to those who never visit it; but With its 160.U00 inhabi tants and all tihe trappings of a modern English or American city It has Interests and activities of its own which make the average Aucklander give Bcant thought to his geographic isolation. i There are other factors that work to banish thoughts of loneliness trom the minds of Aucklanders. The port has become the busy center of trade With the South sea Islands; and the Ships of some of the chief Pacific steamer lines from 'San Francisco and Vancouver put in at Auckland c_Ana KETTLE VALLEY ORCHARDIST 1 TWENTY-SIXTH YE AH—No 9 *'T>l! me what yon Know Is tnu* I c-m'tfumi at well u you."

As a result of this service Auckland theaters- and concert halls are sup piled with the theatrical talent anl musical wbo are interesting the rest of the world. Auckland gives another example of the lavish way in which nature has dealt out wonderful harborstn Australasia. The irtuin Auckland harbor, opening to the east—Waitemiata harbor—furnishes about six square miles of deep, land-locked water; and this opens upon Haurakl gulf with an area of hundreds of square miles. A ship must steam 30 or40 miles north from Auckland before it meets the swell of the Pacific. Auckland's business section lies along the water front on the south side of the harbor,'and along Queen street, whose well paved, level surface hides a creek bed of early days, substantial business blocks, some six and seven stories high, give the streets an aspect of a Canadian city ol a decade ago. The residence section of Auckland ramjble up the slopes ot hills that rise a short distanoe from the harbor. The entire isthmus is covered with old volcanic cones of various sizes, the highest,'Mt Eden, reaching an altitude of 640 feet. This emlinence is a favorite objective for sightseers, dividing popularity with One Tree hill, which is included in a magnificent 300-acre park. From either height one gets a magnificent view ot slopes covered with cottages and gardens, the business section, the busy water front, the great harbor, dotted with forest covered isles, and beyond the, inner water gate- to the Pacific. To the west one may Bee entirely across the island and make out the 'blue waters of the sea that stretches offlll to Australia. Auckland is -.In-lost the exact antipodal point of Gibralter, and has a climate not unlike that of sunny Spain at its best. The temperature seldom rises higher than 82 degrees Fahrenheit in summer (December, January and February) or falls much below 40 degrees Fahrenheit - in winter (June, July and August). The maximum temperature In Auckland in August is about 60 degrees. Palms grow i n the parks beside the trees common to more northern climes. Grass remains green the year round, and Aucklanders carry on their outdoor life through winter and summer alike. PROFITS ON FARM CROPS AT EXPERIMENTAL FARM HEADS NEW IRISH PARTY A new movement ln Irish political life, based on the former Irish Nationalist Party, was 'launched at Waterford recently. Captain William Redmond, the leader of the new party, Is shown addressing Um MTOWd. The cost of production, and profits from the yield of farm crops naturally differ in sections of the country, but facts derived from investigation and tests carried on at the central experimental farm, Ottawa, and recorded in the report of 1925 of the Dominion Field Husbandman, E. S. Hopkins are of more than ordinary interest and of special value. Last year the yield of oats on farm was a record one, being 8-i.S bushels per acre and ot straw 2.2:J, tons. Placing the value of the oats at only 43 cents per bushel and the straw at $4 per ton anil the total cost of productiou at $35.48, as detailed in the report, which can be had free by -applying lo the publications branch, Uttawa, we have a profit of $10.76 per acre An extra yield of hay was also ey- perienced at the farm, the cost of producing which is placed at $28.76 pre acre und the profit at $26.10, the yield having been $4.3?. r.-: -**.r* and the cost to produce $6.6 4per ton. The seeding consisted of a mixture of red clover, alsike and timothy, to which six pounds of alfalfa seed were added and whioh were mainly responsible for the large yield. Corn silage Ib given as producing a profit of $4.61 per acre, but potatoes proved the most profitable ol* all. They gave a yield of, 332.3 bushels per acre, which cost $117.50 per acre to produce and valued at u dollar per bushel, resulted In a profit per acre of $214.71. Wheat produced a protit of $19.97 and barley $15.80 per acre. The yield ot m'angels was below the average and a loss is recorded. Corn silge gave rather better results than the mixture of oats, peas and vetches for silage. Are You That Kind of a Dtiver? BY ERWIN GREER Be good to your car, and indirectly you will be good to yourself. This means three things: Law observance, courtesy and consideration tor your car. Many of us have seen tne numeral "40" on our speedometers, and the law was broken each time this occurred. Everyone swears they give hand signals with religious scruplous- ness, but there are many times when these are entirely forgotten In the stress of other things at the corner. And such signals as most of them are! If the engine ran aB raggedly aB signals are given, we would all be ■pedestrians by preference. Oars are occasionally overtaken and passed on the right handside.and the 'performance never fails to cause inconvenience. This practice . is illegal, dangerous and decidedly discourteous. When you come to a busy intersection, give the other fellow a chance. Perhaps he was there firat. When you overtake and pass *, car, bon't suddenly slow down and force the driver behind you to ride his brakes to prevent his mixing his radiator cap with your spare tire. If you have to slow up after passing a car, you shouldn't have passed lt. When there is delay in traffic ahead, and a line of cars has formed, consider the delay aB unavoidable, and don't be the ill-mannered yokel who holds down the horn button, or he that drives around the side of the line. " The useful work your engine does when driving on a level road ls to overcome mechanical friction and wind resistnee. Both these factors increase very rapidly as you increase your speed, which Indicates that the slower you go, the less gasoline will be used per mile traveled. However, at slow speed the efficiency of the engine is not as good as at high speeds. There is, therefore, an optimum speed of about twenty-five miles per haur, at which the best mileage will be obtained. Driving with the hand hrottle on long open, stretches is also conducive to good mileage, as it allows the engine to operate more uniformly than when your foot, responding to every slight jar, constantly moves the throttle. If you now do thirty-five or better, whenever you can, ipou will enjoy an increase in gasoline -mileage of from two to four miles per gallon by consistently driving between twenty-five and thirty, and you will be surprised to find that you can reach your destination In almost the same driving time. REDUCE YOUR TIRE C08TS A peculiar thing. The worst tire in the world can be mado to look exactly like the best tire in the World. (The gyp manufacturer uses the poorest grade of rubber; even reclaimed rubber vulcanized on a carcase made of rotten fabric, but to all outward appearance that tire appears as would the best tire. And this ONLY proteceion the tire buyer has is the name of the maber branded in the rubber of the casing. The name of the maker and serial number is the only real assurance of a quality tire. 'When you read a sign: "Tires at Half Standard Prices" BEWARE. Don't get the feeling that there ls a chance to get a first-class Ure for half. Ht isn't done by the fellow who wants to save money. And just as sure as you do buy that cheap tire—just as surely will that tire blow out when a third of half the mileage is put on lt. And then when you go back to get an adjustment you will find that your dealer has "gone out of business." Nowi I am an expert, supposedly, but I've been gyped too—and I'm buying nothing bnt standard makes and paying the market pricefor them. A cheap tire is—just that, and the man wto buys them is always sorry. Some of the reputable tire manufacturers do put out certain quantity of what areknown as "seconds." This means a tire that is slightly defective. They had been left in the vulcanizer o cure too long—the heat had been too intense, l got about two thousand miles from one and fifteen hundred from the other. It was not bad mileage considering the prlcel I paid, for them, but I would have beaten the game—and Baved two brand new tubes—had I purchased two standard tires. My' advice is this: Buy a tire with the maker's name and serial number on it Pay the top price and you will get servce that will repay you for the money spent A good tire will give a mflnimum of eight thousand mjiles. Keep a record of the tires on your machine and you will be surprised at the smallness of the item. But buy a gyp tire—and" you will remember the time When Erwin Greer tried to help you save money. APPLES WILL PRODUCE IRON if you have not "had your Iron today" the quickest way to get lt is to eat apples , say the promoters of week, who are advancing that fruit as worthy of a place the year round In the menu of the average home. Professor ¥. A. BarsB, who, withA. A. Mllledge of the British Columbia Products Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade, is promoting apple in British Columbia, makes the following claim for the apples: Apples are one of the best sources of iron for the diet. The apple is the heaviest iron-carrying fruit that we can eat, having 30.100 per oent iron in Its make-up. The use of all the fresh fruits two or three times a day will give a full ration of the needed Iron for the system in combination with the iron contained in bread, eggs, meat and other articles which are routine in the dally Meal. Pears also contain iron and are recommended by dieticians (or their value in furnishing this element among others. In .the light of chemical study, it is now known that the regular consump tion of fresh fruit the year round, particularly apples, there is no need for Iran tonics in spring or at any other time. The necessity only will arise when the dietis deficient in fresh fruit and green vegetables. g^Qur Hired Man Apples or apple pomace may be fed to dairy cows as a substitute for corn silage. New York is the first state in the Union In the production of cabbages and onions, Bulk acid phosuhate, at the present prices, is 30 per cent sheaper than that which is bagged. Mulch the strawberry bed with material that is as free from seeds as possible, or the bed Will become foul with weeds. It Is good practice to put lime on fall-plowed oat ground that ft to be seeded with clover or alfalfa in the spring, if it is sour. -Grapevines and foerry bushes are often protected in localities where the winters are severe by bending them to the ground and covering them with straw and earth. Vie For Supremacy of Road Mr Jones wa sslttlng down to breakfast one morning when he was astounded to see In the paper an announcement ot his own death. He rang up friend Smith at once.

Is the horse doomed to extinction SO far as the road is concerned? A few years ago it would appear Incredible that the motor truck Bhould supplant the faithful servants as much as it has. Tractors are endeavoring to edge htm oft the field too; how long can ho last? We have become so modernized— those of us who buy gasoline—that we are gradually coming to regard the old grey mare, with more or less disdain. When wo think of horses ln terms of transport, ire are becoming more inclined to picture them staggering before a junk wagon or haltingly mobilizing a calcche or ca- rlole, these beasts of whom so much has been written, whose devotion and faithfulness has inspired poets and artists. J. E. Coulter, assistant to the vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Express Company gave us quite a shock recently. He drives a car which ls paid for, uses considerable of the company's gasoline and had Just completed the purchase of six new trucks—beautiful things—of which he is very proud. "The horse" he said, "the horse will never be altogether replaced on the road, and I will live to see the day when he will replace some of the trucks". And then he waxed eloquent. We could see that had he been born flfty years earlier—"Ed" is a very young man— the Canadian Pacific would have had some of the "nattiest turnouts" possible. Coulter has over two hundred motor -faUcles to keep close record of, but he says that his company will only replace a horse where it is proven that an actual economy will be effected. "On long runs, where two horse wagons have not quite enough work to keep them both busy a motor vehicle will perhaps be more economical, but one motor vehicle, he said, will not economically replace one horse in our service, and particularly in congested areas where many stops must he made". This from a man who lives by efticlent transportation. Mr. Coulter believes that part of maintenance of horses.wagons and other vehicles should be charged to advertising. That is why one never sees one of the vehicles under his direction ln need of a coat of paint. He lias been able to keep in hla r' stables too, that pride in horse-flesh that was almost a feature ot life titty years ago. Not all of his horses ar* young ones, hut most of them hare a record of some kind or another, and when they are finished with express service, they are given the life of ease they have earned. In the Toronto stables is one horse of which the whole organization ls exceptionally proud. "BM" Coulter will tell you about this fine grey gelding and of how he compares with the late "Marquis". The champion "Ben" joined the service of the Canadian Pacific Express Company three years ago and has worked eight hours a day since. In 1924 he took first prizes ln the July parade and the Royal Winter Fair. At the last Royal Winter Fair he took all honors again. Another "Marquis" is the judgment. • The horse will never be ousted, at least trom the hearts of the express i*#^:-*i*%*^i &>w!xWcWX~w? t?$J':■'«-.:. . QUITE AT HOME AFLOAT Mr. W. A.

Not content with his numerous business trips to Europe Mr. Williams has taken two cruises to the West Indies. E Owners of automobiles are reminded by the provincial police that with the opening of the new year there will be no days of grace allowed as in the past for the taking out of the necessary licenses. In past yeavs there has been a practice in vogue of allowing thirty days after the be- gining of the new year In which theBe licenses may be taken out.- The instructions to the police regarding the issuing of such licenses follow: "Upon receipt of application ■forms, applicant to fill in same fully, in accordance to notice sent to such applicant with such forms, and present Buch forms personally or by mes ' senger, to the nearest issuing oflice. Upon receipt of the forms at the issuing office the amount of the fee will be computed, and upon payment of such amount, license plates and license holder will be issued. This will enable the licensee to obtain his plates, receipt and license holder with the least possible delay. The license itself will be mailed direct to the licensee when it has been checked up with the records. Until such time as the licensee has received hit- license he may operate his motor vehicle by carrying his receipt in the license holder. It might also be ipointed out that the use of 1927 plates before the first proximo is illegal." While travelling between two villages an engineer came across a neighbor in charge of a traction engine that had stuck fast owing to the road giving way with the heavy, weight. Wishing to help him out of his difficulty, the engineer set about seeing how it could be accomplished. Looking at the steam gauge, he saw 10 pounds rpessure registered. Asking the man how lie meont to get out of the hole with only that pressure, he got the following reply: "Ton pounds pressure, d'you say?

An Artist's View of the Rockies Cathedral Mountain From th* Yoho Valley Leonard Richmond, R.B.A..R.O.I., the well known British artist is among the latest to succumb to the lure of singing the praises of the Canadian Pacific Rockies. In Apollo, a magazine of the arts, Mr. Richmond writes of the Rocky Mountains as one of the most magnificent sights of the world. . Towards the end of March 1925, the artist made his first journey into the heart of Canada. He writes, "As the train advanced from Calgary, the "Foothills" of the Rockies gradually emerged in view, suggesting the appearance of a body-guard, or sentinels, guarding the sterner mountains beyond. "It is not expedient or desirable for me to describe in detail the emotional ascending scale that my feelings experienced as the train approached the actual Rockies themselves. It is enough to state that my highest imaginative thoughts had never visualized so much impressive force and dignity as those austere mountains conveyed thst late afternoon in March. "The general color on that particular afternoon was monotone in effect. I have not seen any Japanese wood-cut print that equalled the superb draughtsmanship of the finely designed groups of pine trees which were almost black in tint, contrasting sharply against the virgin snow. "The mountains of Canada sno-trest many forms of expression for artists. In that respect they are probably unique. The intellectually endowed modern painter has scope enougn to create works of art, based on the innumerable suggestions of dynamic force, grim tragedies of form caused by ancient volcanic eruptions, and occult feelings, too, can be awakened by close contact and communion with the soul of the mountains. "It is impossible for any artist to sketch more than a fraction of such a vast area of varied subjects. Once the artist is situated right in the mountains there is no occasion to seek for subjects or to walk any distance for desirable views. There is something interesting to paint from any angle. "Some of the most interesting pictures that I hsve seen recently of the Rockies are those where the artist has improvised' in colour and form on the original theme in nature. By tbis means Nature can be made to look more natural in a picture and the artlrt's thoughts can be crystallized into positive expression." Mr. Richmond, who painted a number of beautiful views, states that although Lakes Louise, O'Hara, Moraine, and Emerald are famous in the lake world of Canada, he -was intrigued by the smaller sisters, Lake Mirror and Lake Agnes, known as the "Lakes in the Clouds," above Louise.

Photos. A Thousand Stories in Lake District of Manitoba Says Canadian Authoress Martha Ostenso Gave Best First Novel of Year that Setting Miss Martha Otenso, who was awarded the $13,600 prize and royalties on the book for the best first novel submitted during the past year In a contest organized jointly by Dodd, Mead & Company, Pictorial Review and Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, ls a twenty-four-year- old school teacher from Manitoba. Miss Ostenso's novel will be serialized, filmed and published in book form ln 1925. The story, which is called "The Passionate Flight," deals with the farmers of the Western Prairies and portrays the romance of one whose ambition to soar beyond the black loam led to dramatic consequences. More than 1,500 manuscripts were submitted. The Judges state that Miss Ostenso's was so far superior that no other story seriously rivalled it A brief sketch of her life and the circumstances which inspired her novel, as related by Miss Ostenso, follows : "Where tbe long arm of the Har- dangerfjiord penetrates farthest into tbe rugged mountains of the, coast of Norway, the Ostenso family has lived ln the township that bears Its name since the days of tho Vikings. The name means 'Eastern Sea,' and was assumed centuries ago by an adventurous forbear who dreamed of extending his holdings over the mountains and through the lowlands of Sweden eastward to the very shores of the Batlic. Although hiB dreams never came true, the family name recalls lt and the family tradition of land-holding has persisted unbroken; the part of the land that borders the lovely fjord ls still in its possession, handed down from eldest eon to eldest son. "My father, a young son, was free to indulge bis roving disposition. A few years after his marriage to my mother he decided to emigrate to America. "My mother's parents lived high tip in the mountains, remote from the. softening Influence of the coast towns. At their home it was, near the little village of Haukeland, that I was born. This, the first of many small towns in -which I have lived, is known to me only through hearsay, tor when I was two years old we came to America. "The story of my childhood Is a tale of seven little towns in Minne- ■oU and South Dakota. Towns of the field and prairie all, redolent of the soil from which tbey had sprung and eloquent of that struggle common to Uie fanner the world over, a struggle but transferred from the Ostensos and Haukelands of the Old World to the richer loam of the new. They should have a story written about them—those seven mean, yet glorious little towns of my childhood ! In one of them, on the dun prairies of South Dakota, I learned to speak English. Wbat a lovely Martha Ostenso language I found it to be, with words in it like pail and funeral and alone, and ugly words, too, like laughter and cake and scratch! What strange sounds the new words made to me. "Later, in another of the little towns, I learned that it was fun to make things with words. It was while living ln a little town in Minnesota that I became a regular contributor to the Junior Page of the Minneapolis Journal, and was rewarded for my literary trial-balloons at the rate of eighty cents a column. In the public school of,that little town there still hangs, perhaps, a large print of a rural scene In a resplendent frame, with a neat name-plate at the bottom of it. That also came from the Journal, in recognition of nn essay I which, in my eleven-year-old opinion, placed nie abreast of Emcr-on. I "When I was Ci"!. n y **-: old, I bade good.-bJe w iUe v ,>tj Little I Towns. My father's restless spirit drove him north to the newer country. The family settled in Manitoba. "It was during a summer vacation from my university work that I went into the lake district of Manitoba, well towards the frontiers ot that northern civilization. The story tbat I bave written lay tbere, waiting to be put into words. Here was the raw material out of which Little Towns were made. Here was human nature stark, unattired in the convention of a' smoother, softer life. A thousand stories are there still, to be written. "My novel lay back of my mind fpr several years before I began to write it. In tbe intervals of those years, spent as a social worker ln a great city, I often compared ths creaking machinery of skyscraper civilization with the cruder, direct society of the frontier. Slowly, as my work among the needy brought me nearer and nearer to the heart of the city, the border life began to be limned clearly against the murkier background of my work-a-day scene. "A year ago last summer I returned to Manitoba. The approach to remembered scenes renewed my Interest in my story, tbe character stood out clear-cut at last, and I made the first draft of the novel. "I was not satisfied with the result and laid the manuscript aside, with no definite purpose regarding it It was not until spring that I returned to the city and learned of the Curtis Brown contest. It was with diffidence and reluctance that I was per-, suaded by friends, who thought well of the early draft and Its possibilities, to rewrite it in time to submit il for consideration.' At best, I felt, if it Vere as good as my friends said, it might not be wholly ignored. "I leave it to the scientists and pseudo-scientists who argue interminably about the relative influence on men of heredity and environment to decide the responsibility for wbat ever merit my story maj* have. The blood of the Norsemen ! The Seven Little Towns ? Perhaps—I do not Know. No—but I have my own very unscientific opinion. It won't bear stating, but this much may be satd of lt: It has something to do with magic and fairies and al! the other rmpossible, beautiful things that I believe in."' I Four carloads of silver foxes, valued at $750,000, have left Prince Edward Island in one shipment for the Western States: Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. Viewed as a livestock shipment, it is said to be a record one. A number of prize winners were among the pack. Dog teams will be used this winter by the Hudson's Bay-Marland organization to prosecute oil development work in the Ribstone field in North-eastern Alberta. This is the area where the quest for oil started following a favorable report by Dr. G. S. Hume,"*head of tbe Dominion Geological Survey. Christmas travel over tbe Canadian Pacific routes to the Old Country has been heavier this year than ever before experienced. Special trains have been run from Winnipeg directly to the ship's side at Saint John, N.B. The westerners credit this heavy movement to England for Christmas to the excellent conditions that prevail throughout tbe west. The hundred settler families from the British Isles brought out by the Scottish Immigrant Aid Society to form the Clan Donald Colony are doing splendidly, according to a field supervisor's report just submitted. When they landed at their destination they found farms, houses, barns and equipment ready so that no time was lost in preliminaries. Turkish tobacco, grown in Alberta, is better than that grown in Turkey or Greece, according to a Mr. Baker here, who ■ grew 1,000 pounds as an experiment this season. He plotted out three-quarters of an acre to ten varieties of tobacco seed. The crop was harvested ripe before the coming of frost, and of the ten varieties Turkish, White Barley and Orinoco thrived best. Nearly 1,050 overseas vessels entered the Harbor of Montreal and over 350 coastal vessels docked there in the season just closed. ThiB makes a very favorable showing compared with the 1,256 overseas and 216 coastal vessels of the previous sea-l son. During the period of open! navigation over 113,860,000 bushels of grain were shipped from tbe port and flour shipments totalled 2,090,- 000 barrels. Canada scored again at the Chicago Exposition when the blue ribbon grand championship in the Clydesdale stallion division went to Fore-t Favorite, owned by Haggerty and Black of Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan. Last year the University of Saskatchewan took the coveted honor with Green Meadow Footsteps. This year, it is said, the veteran Canadian stallion was an easy winner over all others. "There is better hunting today In the Canadian Rockies than was the case when white men first began systematic exploration of them nearly fifty years ago," said Tom E. Wilson, of Banff, one of the outstanding pioneer mountain guides, when interviewed at Canadian Pacific headquarters recently. Mr. Wilson was the first white man to discover Lake Louise and Yoho Valley. A plaque or statue has been erected in the Yoho Valley in honor of him, by the Trail Riders of tbe Canadian Rockies.
