And dreams tike fiery sunsets oome again, InformuUte and vain. Bat great with ^ries of the buccaneer." At the Alaska- Yukon- Pacific Exposition you have had spread before you the natural resources and the wonder-wares of the merchant of the Pacific littoral from Alaskan snow- cieau to the humid marts of Mexico. And you have been somewhat jostled in the prooeaa. Prom the effete East you reached the Pacific by devious ways, tired and travel-wora. Soaked with information, with your knowledfe widened and your sympathies deepened, you now find yourself toward the end of your vacation, the days are ticking themselves off ominottsly. The Sea has revived you and set throbbing old life- currents that the strenuous years had almost stranded at their souroe. The'unexpressed wish is that some Titan force ootid lift yon up, and drop you down at your desk of endeavor or Jome hearthstone of quiet without the heat and dust and difloomfort of the journey home, depositing you "with ti^tened sinew and dear Uood imbued with Sunlif^t and with Sea." Do you know how to do it ? "Come home 1^ Canadai " Down at the dock in Seattk- there waits for you the fleetest passenger-steamer on the Pacific, the Pnncess Victoria with a develope<7 ->eedof ISknota. A four hours' run th" '«tg^ the most enchanti. waterway in the w * it little bit of Enf^Bnd on the shores of the Pacific, VICTOSIA THE BBAUTIPnL. "Serene, indifferent to Pate, She sitteth at the western gate — The warder of the continent." This is the city which Edgar Wallace, the famous cor- respondent of the London Daily Mail, characterises as "The Little-Johnny-Head-in-tbe-Air City o£ Canada." The atmosphere of Victoria is imique. The idle tourist, spending a summer week within her borders, carries the witchery of her charm with him where'er he wanders. What makes that charm? It is compounded of many simples— the sea has 1. 1 mnch to do with h, the muhittidinotai rmm ooatrttwt*, the fmtk vofaM d th« paopi* phijr no tmaD psrt, th« braMM, ■oft with MgfMtiveiwM from the uu w-grovw of Honolal* And th« fwifeiM of N4>poa. The ran never wta with gieatar beMitjr thaa o««r th« edfe of the Sooke HiOa, tipfmig the rooih-iicwn lilver of the Olympics with a Toey glow and apOling itaelf in pradifality over the waters of the Fucan Straits. On the stieeU of thia polyiM town the Indian dam-dinrr bnuhea the inwnacwIaU red tunic erf Tommy Atlcins, and the sailor tnm Bsquimalt bofanofas with the Hindoo. The City of Victoria runs out in braom and buttercups to the country lanes, and the fin of the forest crtcp into the city streets. One feature of Victoria commends itaelf to visitors: an active Tourists' Association, with centrally located head- quarters and a .permanent secretary. You should first maks your wiy to these rooms, and register. The oiBdab will take you in hand, find you a boarding-fdaoe, and plan so that you win get the nuiximum of enjojrmcnt with the minimum o< money and time. The one-day visitor should see the Paili and If useum, take the tram to the Gorge and historic Bsi|ui- malt, and in the Tourist Tally-ho enjoy the delig^s of tha world's giaadest ocean-drive. It is monstrous pity, though, to leave Victoria under a week's sojourn. GoMstream should be visited; go to Oak Bay and look across the water to historic San Juan Island wUdi the wisdom of the German Emperor {ducked from Britain's crown to sparkle in the ne.^kerchief of Unde Sam. Get up early one morning and try the salmon-trawling; it will not be exceptional luck if you bring home half a doxen 10-pounders before breakfast. As evening lights close in, a waUc through the Golf Links where the {rfwasants are calling m the long grass, and the meadow-lark announces to all and sundry that "God's in Hia Heaven, all's right with the world," will send you to bed sane and content. VAKCOUVBB. Then off to Vancouver, . the Padfie tanaiaal of tha OinWMan Padflc Railwa?. The Princess Victoria carries you again, and it is another four hours' run. Start in the eariy morning, by all means. You pass throu^ a wonder- archipelago without a duplicate in the world's scenic routes. What a riot of color as you pull ont from Victoria Harbor and creep coastwise round Beacon Hill and the beaches erf Sioal Bay! With a toot of recognition fr<>m t' : smokestack, 3roa glide past Cadboro Bay, where th e-long crescent of silver sand echoes back the holiday noises of half a hundred camps. Out on the sunken ridges of that burnt-umber reef a pod of hair-seals whimpers in the morning stmshine, and far across are the lime-cliffs of Salt Sprit.i;. That dark ribbon at Mnolw marln the mid-duuuMl puMift at • tramp-atMOMr boa So-M»a'» Land, and ia the offinc an Um btll]rinf ■aiia of Sooth A a w rican l«tmb«r-thip«, and in fnmt and behind and on cithv MtikUhft Uaada of tha Gulf of OMrgia. Tha Thooauid Manda of tha St. Lawrence an small and poajr in the U^t of theae pine^reeted and aea-waahed •wbaief|ed tips of buried motmtains. See the Indian canoes stealing aBeut up the mid-Mand channels, an4 hark! the cry of tha loon come* from son^t unknown quarter, and a band ot heavy- bodied ducks trail iheir winp across the poliriied surface ot the sea in clumsy flq^t at our approach. And then the City of Vancouver. The City of the Couchiuf Lions dipa its feet into Burrard Inlet, and stretche4 its endrding arms across to the yellow sar Is of English Bay. At the sea-front here the world-end steamers wait; at the long docks we see them, craft from San Francisco, China, Japan, Australia, Honcduln, and far Fiji, and as the seagulls iriilstle in the rigging and the long combers sweep in from around Brockton Point, we half wish that we mig^t listen to the siren voices that call us seaward. Truly, here "East is West, and West u East." THK VALLBT 09 THK rXASBk. But Eastward we go toward the snowy silences and cool alluring rest of the Rockies, into the far fastnesses in the heart of the ancient wood. Trout-fishing in endless variety, with deer-hunting and bear-shooting and an occasional mountain-goat in the hills along Burrard Inlet may well tempt the sportsman for a rare week. Every one interested tn economics must take the electric tram across to New West- minster on the Fraser, and there inspect the salmon industry, full of compeUing interest. At Westminster Junction, turn your back to the sea. have your travelling bag and impedimenta tucked away in one of the paik>r-caxs of the Imperial Limited and lean back luxuriously in anticipation of the most pleasureable railroad trip you have ever enjoyed. The service on this line is un- excelled in the worid to-day, the taUe is something you will remember with a backward thought of pleased contentment, anu Nature opens up to you a panorama of magnificence which deepens in its generous lavishness as you travel east- ward and upward from the sea's level. At Hammond, by the side of the mighty Fraser, you catch a view of Mt. Baker which you will long remember. Looking at it throu^ the immense trees of Douglas fir you are reminded of some of the striking prints of Pusiyanu. It is a very liot of color. Down at your feet the drying salmon of an Indian camp forms a vemdlion dab on thf land- scape, the Fraser pours its clear-hued tribute ocean-ward, over all is the bluest of blue skies, and the piny air is a tonic. With a last glance at the isolated cone of Mt. Baker, s I i I I ^^_gigg_ now rosy pink in the distance, losing itself in the cknids full 14,000 feet above the railway level, we pass Nicomen, and reach Agassix. the sUtion for the hot sulphur springs of Harrison Lake, five miles to the north. All way-weary travel- lers should spare a week-end off at Harrison Lake. Were iU beauties known, thit place would be besieged by pleasure- parties during half the year. As it is, the weary globe-trotter who by half-accident finds it out, with malice aforethought obeys the Scripture phrase, and "goes and tells no man." Harrison Lake has the largest salmon-hatchery in the worid, to tempt the interest of the scientific; it has a St. Alice Hotel, whose management know how to minister to tired mortals, and it has above and beyond this when the evening lights lose themselves on the lake-edges, and the shadows fall slantingly across Mt. Cheam, a witchery which once felt haunts one to the last word of life's last chapter. OH AMD UP. "O foolish ones, put by your care I Where wants are many, joys are few; And at the wilding springs of peace, God keeps an open house for you. But there be others, happier few. The vagabondish sons of God, Who know the by-ways and the flowers, And care not how the world may plod. They loiter down the traffic lands, And wander through the woods with spring; To them the ^ory of the earth Is but • ' ) hear a bluebird sing. They, too, receive each one his Day; But their wise heart knows many things Beyond the sating of desire, ' Above the dignity of kings." At the little old-time mining town of Hope we look down into the bottomless Devil's Lake, comfortmg ourselves with the assurance that Hope is the higher, then on to Yale. Yale is the head of steamboat navigation on the Fraser and is set in a wondrous cul-de-sac in the mountains. Passing Spuzsum we reach North Bend, where if we are wise we break the journey and enjoy a dinner to be remembered. The Fraser Canyon deserves a closer inspection than is pos- sible through the windo\vs of the train. The noble river forced between upstanding black rocks chums it - discontent in turmoil. Near Spuzzum the Government Road parallels the railroad, and one spares a backward thought to the rugged miners of the Cariboo days whose daring and dour endurance cast into pale shadow all experiences of the Klon- dike gold-seekers of a day nearer by. On farther is Ljrtton where the Canjron opens wide to admit the great river which comes to us here held between two great lines of hill-peaks, and whose yellow mane soon discolors the clear waters of the i I Thompaoo and destroys their identity. A tew miks from Lytton we cross the river on a steel cantilever and down, far down bdow us catch a dizzy g^eam of sonw Chinaman wash- ing oat the discarded (old-bars of the old river. His old- ivory smile is as non-committal now as in the day when Biet Harte discovered him, and you nor no one will ever discover how much pay-dirt he gets to his pan. Fifty yards below his feet his Red brother with dip-net scoops up in strugs^g salmon the conununal breakfast for his tepee. The Red man hates the Yellow, and the Yellow hates the Red, but both equally are fed from the beneficent bosom of the CHd Mother. Taking the train again we ctntinue our sinuous run along the side of the Thompson, and the river and its setting give us a color-feast ranging from one end to the other of the spectrum. No Dakota Bad-I^nds can rival the prismatic hues here spilt out at our feet, red of earth, (divaceous gteen of tree-trunk and carpeting moss, ochre-yeUow of the lichen, and the purple of great bunches of wild ffewers. The OakoU adoring is that of sterile desert, at our feet the tints ate those of a rich and abounding life. Then -on to Ashcroft where one still runs across the pack-mules with their merchandise, their great wains and tinkly bells, for Ashcroft is the portal to the great mining country of the Cariboo and Omineca, recently revivified and brought into the worid's notice by the Guggenheims. And on we press to Kamloops where the North Pork of the Thompson joins the main stream. Kamloops for you if you lear tubercular trouble. It is a good place for you, too, if you are well. This is the centre of a rapidly growing industry in irrigated fruit-lands; and away to the southward stretches a ranching and mining country right into the Nicda Valley. Eastward we are carried on the smoothest of rails to Shuswap on the western extremity of the ^uswap Lakes, dropping down to Tappen and Salmon Arm, and then still following the south shore toward Sicamous Junction and Craigellochie. The first part of this stretch is pastoral mead land; grass, growing crops, and old-fashioned hayricks are a relief to the eye almost sated with the grand set-pieces of Nature; and instinctively one's mind harks back for a moment to the Lake Country of England. At Salmon Arm we are in the heart of the sportsman's country, to the south of us are deer, and within a day's journey to the north we find the caribou. The next statk>n eastward from Salmon Arm is Sicamous, and a branch line to the south here will take us to Kelowna, where Lord Aberdeen has man«- thousand acres of apple-lands. Here is the land of oil and wine and fat things, a paradise for the fruit- grower, that "Earthly Paradise" that the poet writes of. And now we reach Revelstoke in the foothills. If it bad been our intent to go eswt by the Crow's Nest this is our point of divergence, but the mountains invite us, and our oowwiieMtbytlMaMtaUM. M QSmda -m nuA fb» §nt ci oat thne gmrt raoaataia pbtjrgroaiMte. We am mcbt to foitrt an the wiw and exact aad mathematkal lore tbat w ptUMted at the «rhU CoaMal Bxporition. "For thk » no oooBiiKm earth, water or wood or air, bnt MetUa'e Ide of OnuBarfB where you and I wiU fare." ^.AIIOIIK una 1HB OLACUUt. "They said the fairies tript no more.

Would we but doS our lenses strong. And trust our wiser eyes' delight." At Glacier we have not yet reached the Rockies, we find ounelvet near the summit of the Selkirks, a range wh<^y different in structure to the great Roddes and separated from them by the deep valley of the G>lumbia. Very near Glacier House is Mt. Selwyn. the hi|Mt peak of the range, pnriuag up ito ^hite crest into the air a fuU 11,000 feet. Are you interested in mountainsf You may now feed your very soul. Without being trivial we may quote Wackford Sqneers, "Wot richness!" Maks up your mind to rest for a week at Glacier Houae. You will store your being and your brain with reme m brancer J uplift that wiU neither dim nor cease to thrill while you are still, to use the phrase n and lettin? down erf tension came to us the moment we stepped witii^n the portals of this ice-guarded haven of rest. We forget that there is a world of noise and clamor and competition beyond these hills, and gladly we cast our dolours down. With a soul-satisfied feeling of luxuriousness, we tuck our suitcases into a comer and say to each other, "Let the worid and the train go by. Hen for some days we rest." The wise man gives himself up to the spirit of the place, and he who is learned is bidden to forget it, and to become simply acceptive as a little diiTd. "See thou bring not to field or stone The fancies found in bookd; Leave authors* eyes, and fetch your own. To brave the landscape's looks." Each day we put knapsack on back, and fare forth along a new trail. WmUAT. This morning we make an cariy start for The CavM of Chaopa, a walk of seven miles by a good bridle-trail. If office woric has made seven miles seem a long distance to tramp, statmch little pack-ponies are at your bid- ding. The Cave* are above the snow-line and at the head of a smiling valley. The chief chamber lifts its roof two hundred n i I i I fMt from the floor-line, iu tide* scmtillatmg whh crystals at qiisrtx. OMOfwwMbroui^ttotbekenof modernmanhyone CbulM Oeutichauui, who tells un that the quaint cavema have been eaten out of solid rock by the water-action of cwituriei . The ceilings are polished layers of ovedapping rock, the walls in {daces lifting themselves up the veritable diiwOed rafters of some cathedral -dome. Great basins of water point to waterfalls of a past age. and we would fain let our faticy an& of them the drinking-bowls of some Titan ancestors. The luncheons put up for us by the good people of Glacier House are put down by ourselves with gusto and without delay, and as we rattle .over the stony path home- werd little reck we whether stockr> are up or down on the New York Exchange. We sleep the sleep of little children and are acquiescent in any p*nn made for the morrow. TDBSDAY. To-da\ we take The Cascade TraiL We corkscrew our way up the mountain opposite the Hct?l, and wind throu^ some of the grandest fir growth in the whole of the Selkirks. Bending back on our trail, the VaUey and the Hotel burst upon our view, and the lush green meads above. We get a splendid view of the long slanting escarpment ot the Big Glacier, and a short drop down the slope lands one at the wee pavilion we saw from the Valley below. We need no guide for this climb, it is perfectly safe, and if we start at eig^t in the morning, we can complete our undertaking by noon. But it is not likely that we will be so satisfied. Every- where around us the wild flowers are a great joy, and the party soon breaks into little groups hailing with the gladness of released children, the discovery of new friends in the flower world springing side by side in the same clett with the old posies and nosegays that sweetened our childhood meadows. One seizes upon an Alpine Anemone, that rars white butter- cup shaded off to pale blue, "And where a tear has diopt a wind-flower Uows." Another brings a.s treasure-trove the big bright leaves of the hellebore, the largest and most splendid green-tinct flower which blows in the mountain. Stretched on the moss the finder quotes from Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, "Borage and Hellebore fill tvx .scenes. Sovereign plants to purge the veins Of melancholy, and cheer the heart Of those black fumes which make it .smart." No need to sing, "Away, ioatho ; JJelancholy," on the Cascade Trail, "Away with hunger ' is much more to the point, and a general scramble is made for the Hovel. WBDHKSDAY. The Asolkan VaOey. It is horses this morning. A very decent pony-trail lands us about six miles up the Valley at a sputtering torrent. Aii hour's good climb and the culmination of the Pass gives a gorgeous panorama. Fish Creek Vale far below with five miles of glittering glacier to the right. It is truly Alp piled on Alp, a world of white to which we have won through forests of fir. 13 ill • whole (Uy.iuoeiit.

It takes about sixteen houis to make the ascent, and every one is warned against being foolhardy enough to attempt the climb without guides. Even with these ejc- penenced Swiss climbers to show the easy way across crevasse and^acier. the dimb is difficuk enough to satisfy the most ambitious. But every one who takes it U richly repaid, and comes to a downy bed with a feeling of blended exaltation and sane weariness. "Something attempted, something done has earned a night's repose." But the Yoho and Banff call us on. and with a sigh of half-regretfutaess we pay our score to the landlord and step once more into our luxurious Limited with faces turned east- ward. YO! HOI FOR THE YOHO! There are reaUy three courts in this Rocky Mountain Pnnce of Playgrounds. First. Glacier where the Selkirks impmge on the Rockies as we approach from the Pacific: ^cond. Yoho, reached from Field at the very summit of the Rockies; and. lastly, Banff, where we drop from the Rocky Range to the foothUls that creep away to the wheat-phiias of Golden Alberta. It vas the late Jean Habel, a veteran climber of Berlin who opened up to the world the wonders of the Yoho Valtey. To reach the Yoho we leave the train at FieW, and here, too. Emerald Uke is in. pleasing proximity. At Field we are but ten miles beyond the Great Divide whence 14 poor tbrir divergte« tribute eartmrd to HadMa Bay, WMtwMtl to the Pacific.

At Field we open the doorway of a valley n. jre majestic than any yet explored by man. the Yoho far surpassing the Yosemite. As the years go on, this valley must prove a lodestone mort magnetic to those who wander the earth seeking pleasure. Guarded by pant peaks, stupendous glaciers, and a wonder-waterfall, the Yoho Valley was a rare revelation to the hunters ot nvountain-sheep who first stumbled upon its hidden beauties.

Beyond us aud above is Lake Agnes, called of old by the Indians "The Goat's Looking Glass," with its incomparable view of the Valley of the Bow. Lake Lotiise, the "Lake of the Little Pishes" of the Indian, is a deep-colored tarn between wooded slopes which sweep upward to barren cliffs above tree-line. Square across the Valfey and beyond the Lake rises a giant of the con- tinental watershed, Mt. Victoria, rich with brilliant ice-fields, but the Lake draws our wandering eye back to its costempla^ tion. At every season, every hour, most alluring is that "Haunted Lake, among the piae-clad mountain*, Forever smiling upws?d to the skies." 20 WteUiw in tpiiagtkm wbm the pMn IcKvn ftiafi it with their fneh-won life, or ki sammer's full eSidtenoe. or under the t pf)> of autunui's crimaoning finfen, ite compelling diami nriee but doea not diminiih.

Its brilliant boeom of ice makes then a striking contrast to the dark forests and shadowy encircling cli£b. In the sunset hour, too, when every pinnacle and feature of ita craggy sides silhouettes on the sky-line, with every bou^ and feathery tip of fir standing out in clearest detail, its wondrous beauty grips us. Later still, when the middle distance is a soft mystery, and the j^ow fades and the stan come out in advancing squadrons, we linger by this witdi- lake, loath to leave its weird charm. Round the margin of the lake cluster flowers which refuse to be exterminated by all the tbou^tless greed of daily visitors. Yellow vkilets are here, with the anemone and a pleasing number of greenish oichids. Then are ladies' tresses, too, with the hardier shrubs, red-flowered sheep-Uurel, the white tufts of Labrador tea, and the inconspic us catkins of that beauty-thing the scrub-birch with its long Mack spines and small rounded leaves. The ccdoring of Lake Louise is that robin's-egg blue which the scientist teUs us is due as is the sky's blue to in- finitesimal particles of matter held in suspenskm. The ni|^ts here are always cool, and the days a dear delight. But we picss on to Banfi with its wealth of glaciers. "Those silent cataracts of frozen splendor Singing the eternal praise of God." - BA1I7F, THB BBAUTirUL. Banff is essentially a {dace for loafing— the leisure life and not the strenuous. Deti^tful drives and walks invite in every direction; the river beckons, and each day gives an objective point of pleased and varied surprise. The woooed valley of the Spray, Lake Minnewanka, and weird Sundance Canyon are accessible by foot-path, and the Hot Springs tempt tired limbs daily. It is an embarras d* rickessts. The determined mountain-di'^ber finds some interesting ascents in the immediate neif ^rhood of Banff, and it may be made the starting point to Mt. Assiniboine, the most fascinating peak in all Canada, the Matterhom of North America. One may spend a summer in Banff, and never weary. The beauty of things here » that all the interesting places are easily reached by road or trail. Within the radius of one mile are the Bow Falls, Tunnel Mountain, and the Cave and Basin. Within three miles away from the heart of things are the Hoodoos. Cascade Mountain, Stoney Squaw Moun- tidn, Vermilion Lakes, the animal paddocks and Rundle Mountain.

The Dominjon Govenunent with characteristic educa- tive eaterprise hat placed hig^ up in this Nation's Ptasr- grouad a museitm of national pride and international interest. The Banff Museum contains splendidly preserved specimens of the tig game and lesser mammals, the fish life, and bird life, to be found within the Park; a beautifully mounted and correctly classified herbarium is also here. Indica relics are tbawn and specimens of Indian workmanship of more than ordinary interest. For years the ofScial in charge has kept a record of temperatures at this altitude, and his meteorological charts repay examination by all who are mterested in weather conditions. To the botanist, the ge'ey pe.nks are avct- 25 II anted with a heaven of deep unfathomable azure, the mheia being held in an envelope of air purified by forect and froat aad full of tlie inviforation of oione. It is the larfest of Natora, sitivleinented by the energy, initiative, and enter- priae of man. For a numner of upltft and enjoyment Banff ii withoot compeer, it has no rival. We have passed from Pacific shores across the back- bone of the continent, the great Sea of Mountains. In our wbole journey we have not endured a sin^ privation or dis- comfort. An the luxury of the most modem sleeping-cars and palaoe-cars has been ours. Indeed, much of the scenic beauty we have enjojred without passing from sight of the world's greatest railroad artery whose rustic chalets and cosy hostleries have kept us in comfort and unostentatious luxuriousness. In truth, the material comforts have rivalled the wonder-scenery in that compelling charm to hold which has caused us to lengthen our holiday to its utmost limit. Dropping down the mountains from Banff we find our- selves in the baby-Pro rinoe of Canada, Infant .\lberta, the Land of Promise Fulfilled, with its rich oil fields of Pincher Creek, its swelling metropolis of Calgary, and the beauty- capital of Edmonton hi^ up on the banks of the silver Saskatchewan. Ahead of us lies Wiiuipeg, the Buckle of the Wheat Belt. But we must leavi- it all, lea\'e it with an endur- ing peace which has filtered into our souls through these delicious days spent together in the everlasting hills. Taking leave each one o' his fellow, " We pray the prayer that the Easterns do. May the Peace of Allah abide with you: Wherever you stay, wherever you go. May the beautiful flowers of Allah grow. Through days of labor, and nights of rest. May the Love of Allah make you blest ! So I touch my heart as the Easterns do — May the Peace of Allah abide with you!

COTTAGBS. In addition to Banff's excellent hotel accommodation, there are over one hundred cottages available for renting. These cottages are of various sizes, from the two-roomed building to the commodious eight-roomed house, fitted with modem conveniences. Many of the cottages are fitted with electric lig^t and are connected with the water and sewer systems of the town. They are furnished with everything necessary for housekeeping except cutlery and linen, and the tourist who wishes to spend a month or more in Banff may do so comfortably at a moderate cost.

Some of the largHt specimens of sheep and goat to be seen in the museums of the American continent were secured in the hunting grounds just outside the borders of the Park. Five cpectr« oi 'lear are to be found in these regions, including tnr much-prised Silver Tip Grizzly. Wapiti and Moose are becoming more numerous every year, and, while the mountains endure, the goat and sheep will never be exterminated . Of the smaller fur-bearing animals, Martin, Mink, Wolverine, Lynx, Ermine, Marmot, and many others are always to be found, affording a variety to the trip. So numerous are this latter cla.w, from which the world of fashion draws its supplies, that many trappers, both white and ted, follow their calline as an exclusive means of livelihood, often realising hundreds of dollars for ■■> few extra fine skins. The valleys of the Brateau River, Bear Creek, Siffeur and other tributary streams of the Saskatdiewan constitute a veritable sportsman's paradise, and cm> be readily reached from Banff. FISH. The fishing of the Park is fast becoming one of its chief attractions, and the Dominion Government have from time to time stocked the streams and lakes with different varieties of gamey fish. It is a common sij^t in Banff to see even women and children returning in triumph with strings of Ssh containing specimens of the beautiful Dolly Varden tmut, grey trout and grayling, while the more experienced fisher-* man can secure a 30 lb. specimen of the land-locked salmon from the waters of I.«ke Blinnewanka. Good lishing is found in the Bow Rivr, Sawback Lakes, Spray River and L'-'^e; and many of the unnamed lakes known to the guides fa.iv teem with fish, any of which can be easily reached from Banff.
