Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of Frenclmdo and Acadian sitnplicity, 18 lost, but new St. John fills her place admir- ably, and is now a luisy modern centre. St. John is a maritime city, and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand barber, an in8j)ectioii of the fine wharves and diflferent craft l)eing alwuvs of special interest to a viHitor. The St, John river, "the Rhine of America," with its wonderful '' reversible cataract," should be seen by every visitor; also the fire suspension bridge and railway cantilever bridge near the falls. Close to the city, on the Kennebecasis river, is one of the finest row- ing courses in tho world. A trip up the St. John river to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream.

From Pembroke to IMattawa the railway continues along tne west bank of the Ottawa through a country only recently cleared of timber, and not yet generally cultivated. The 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.

It is a favorite centre for moose hunters, and guides and supplies for shooting expeditions may always be obtained here. At Mattawa, the line leaves the Ottawa and strikes across tow^ards 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 infre- quent. 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 froui the car windows. A mile beyond Thorncliffe is the j unction of the Northern & Northwestern Div. of tlie G. T. Sy. from Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, etc., coming north by way of Lake Simcoe and the Muskoka lakes.

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 a saw-mill and several churches. Leaving the station, the railway crosses directly over the falls of the Sturgeon River. From Sudbury (pop. 900) a branch-line leads off to Algoma Mills, on Lake Huron, and thence along the shore of Lake Huron and the Ste. Marie river to SaultStr Marie, 179 miles, at the outlet of Lake Superior, where an immense iron bridge affords connec- tion with two American railway lines, one extending to Duluth and theother to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Trans- continental passengers in summer by taking the "Soo" train from Montreal at 10 a.m., Tues- days and Fridays, can travel to Sault Ste. Marie by this branch line and tiience take steamship to Port Arthur without losing time. 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. Large quantHies of the ores have been shipped from the raines, and a number of smelting fur- naces are being erected near Sudbury to reduce the ores on the spot.

A Hudson's Bay Co.'s post of 100 years or more standing, but now given up to the re- quirements of modern commerce. , 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. The Kaministiquia River, a broad, deep stream with firm banks, affords extraor- dinary advantages for lake traffic and immense quanti- ties of coal, lumber and grain are handled here. There are railway workshops and the usual buildings and sidings incident to a divisional point. .118.00 18.45 JIO.IO 19.30 19.55 20.30 20.50 21.15 Murillo Kaministiquia Pi Dm ark Dexter Linkooping Savanne Upsala Carlstadt Bridge River English River Martin Bonheur 1146 1163 1174 1196 1204 1226 1236 1244 1250 1267 1283 I 1291 1295 1310 22.15 22.57 23.25 24.20 24.40ni(ll 1.35 2.05 2.30 2.50 3.45 4.30 The Lake of the Woods 5.15 5.35 to. 25 From Fort William to Winnipeg the railway traverses a wild broken re- gion, with rapid rivers and many lakes, but containin»5 valuable forests and mineral deposifs. Murillo is the railway station for the Rabbit Moun- tain silver district, and four miles from the station are the Kakabeka Falls, where the Kaministiquia leaps from a height exceeding that of Niagara. The railway follows up this river to Kaministiquia, and then ascends the Mattawan and the Wabigoon rivers ; and there is excellent trout fishing near all the stations as far as Finmark.

From here, to and beyond Rat Port- age, 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. Rat Portage (pop. 900) at the principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods, is an important town with several large saw-mills, the product from which is shipped westward to the prairies.

Pop. 28,000. Capital of the Province of Manitoba, formerly known as Fort Garry (nop. in 1871, 100). Situated at the juncture of the Rod and Assini. boine rivers, both navigable by steainijoats, it has been, for manv 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 and west. The city is handsomely built, superior brick and stone being available; and has street railways, electric lights, a fine hospital, great flouring mills and grain elevators, and many notable public buildings. The chief workshops of the C.P.Ry. between Montreal and the Pacific are here, and the train-yard contains more than twenty milos of sidings. The company has also a fine passenger st;ition and excellent refreshment rooms. The principal land offices of the Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. are here, as also is the chief land office of the Government in the V7est. Railway lines radiate in all directions. The C.P.R. n^^s two branches leading south- ward on either side of Red River, to Emerson and Gretna, on the U.S. boundarv, connecting at the latter vvith the daily train service of the St. Paul, Minneapolis ^ Manitoba R'y. for St. Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, etc. Two brar a lines of the C.RR. go S.W. to Glbnboro and Delorainb in southern Maiiitoba, 105 and 203 miles distant respec tively; and two other branches run N. and N.W., one to the old town of Selkirk and the other to Stony Mountain and Stonewall. The Hudson's Bay Railway also begins here, and is completed to Shoal Lake, 40 miles northwest. iBergen Though the country here is apparent- Rosser ly as level as a biUiard table, there IMeadows is really an ascent of 100 feet from Marquette Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie. A Reaburn belt of almost unoccupied land siir- Poplar Point rounds Winnipeg as far as Poplar High Bluff Point, duo to the fact that it is mostly held by speculators ; and the scattered^farras visible are chieiiy uevuled to dairy products and cattle oreecing.

There is a strong Tilley up-grade to Bowell, then a rapid Casails descent to Suffield, followed by a Lathom steady rise. Bow River occasional- Crowfoot ly appears at the south. The prairie here is seen to advantage, and before August it is a billowy ocean of grass. Cattle ranches are spreading over it, and farms i.ppear at intervals. The entire Gleiphen Stratiimore Cheadie country is underlaid with two or more beds of good coal, and natural gas is frequently found in boring dei'p v»olls. This gas is titilized at Langdon Langeiy'm, in pumping water for the Shepard supply of the railway. From this station, on a clear day, the higher peaks of the Rocky iVlountains may be seen, ^50 miles away. At Crowfoot they may again be seen. Near Crowfoot, and south of the railway, is a large reservation occupied by the Blackfeet Indians, and some of them are seen about the stations. Beyond Gleichen (a railway divisional point, alt, 2,900 ft.) the Rockies come into full view, — a magnificent line of sncwy peaks extending far along the southern and west- ern horizon. At Langdon the railway falls to the valley of Bow River, and a few miles beyond Shepard the river is crossed by an iron bridge and the foot-hills are reached. Calgary— Alt. 3,388 ft. Pop. 3,400. Tbe moat important, as y:e\\ as the handsomest, town between Brandon and Vancouver. It is cliarrainj^ly situated on a hill-girt plateau, overlc oked by the white peaks of the Rockies. It is the centre of the trade of the great ranching country and the chief source 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. Calgary is an important station of the Mounted Police, and a ost of the Hudson's Bay Company. Keith— Alt. 3,525 ft Cochrane— Alt. 3,700 ft. Radnor— Alt. 3,800 ft. Morley— Alt. 4,000 ft.

Saw-mills and coal mines appear along the valley. After leaving Cochrane, and crossing the Bow, the line" ascends to the top of the first terrace, whence a magnificent out- look is obtained, toward the left, where the foothills rise in successive tiers of sculptured heights to the snowy range behind them. " By-and-by the wide valleys change " into broken ravines, andlo ! through an opening in the " mist, made rosy with early sunlight, we see, far away " up in the sky, its delicate pearly tip clear against tlie " blue, a single enow-peak »)f the Kocky Mountains. . . .

Approaching Kananaskis the The Gap— Alt. 4,200 ft. mountains suddenly appear close at hand and seemingly an impenetrable barrier, their bases deeply tinted in purple and their sides flecked with white and gold, while high above, dimiy outlined in the mists, are distant snowy peaks. Tlia Kananaskis River is cros.sed by a high iron bridge, a little above where it joins the Bow, and the roar of the great falls of the Bow (called Kananaskis Falls) may be heard from the railway. Tlie mountains now rise abruptly in great masses, streaked and capped with snow and ice, and just beyond Kunanas^kn station 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 tlie track turns northward and ascends the long valley between the Fairholme range on the right and the Kan- anaskis range opposite. The prominent peak on the left is Pigeon Mt., and in approaching the station called TIlp Gaj), a magnificent view is obtained of Wind Mt. and the Three Sisters, also on the left. A remark- able 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 on- gulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed from the plains is now explained. These mountains are tremen- dous up-lifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and Carboniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth 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 loss 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-pres- sure, wiiile all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals.

The over- hanging peak on the left is Rundle, behind which lie the Hot Springs of Banff. Here the line for a time leaves the Bow and strikes up the valley of Cascade River, directly toward the face of Cascade Mt, which, tliough 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. In the shadow of the Cascade ^Mt, at Anthracite station, are the great coal mines which penetrate a spur of the Fairholme sub-range. This coal is a true anthracite of high quality, and the mines are developing rapidly under scientific methods. Banff— Alt 4,500 ft Station for Rocky Mountain Park, and the Hot Springs — a medicinal watering-place and pleasure-resort. This park is a national reservation, 26 m. long N.E. and S.W. by 10 m. wide, embracing parts of the valleys of the Bow, Spray and Cascade rivers, Devil's Lake and several noble mountain ranges. No part of the Rockies exhibits a greater variety of sublime and pleas- ing scenery ; and nowhere are good points of view and features of special interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridlepaths have been made.

The huge mass nortliward is Cascade Mt. (9,875 ft.); eastward is Mt. Inghsmaldie, and the he" hts of the Fairholme suh-range, behind which lies Devil's-Head lake. Still further eastward the sharp cone of Peechee (in that range) closes the view in that direction ; this is the highest mountain visil^le, exceeding 10,000 ft. To the left of Cascade Mt-, and just north of the track, rises the wooded ridge of Squaw Mi, beneath which lie the Vermillion lakes, seen just after leaving the station. Up the Bow, westward, tower the distant, snowy, central heights of the Main range about Simp- son's Pass, most prominently the square, wall-like crest of Mt. Massive. A little naarer, at the left, is seen the northern end of the Bourgeau range, and still nearer, the Sulphur Mt., along the base of which are the Hot Springs. The isolated bluff southward is Tunnel Mt. ; while just behind the station, Rundle Peak rises sharply, so near at hand as to cut off all the view in that direction. The village of Banff (several small inns) is two miles southwest of the station, on the hither side of the Bow. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent new hotel, built by the railway company, near tlie fine falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modem convenience and luxury, including baths supplied from the hot suli)hur springs, is kept open during the entire year. It is most favorably placed for health, picturesque views, and as a centre for canoeing, driving, walking or mountain-climbing. Trout of extraordinary size occur in Devil's-head lake, and deep trolling for these affords fine sport. Wild sheep (the bighorn) and moun- tain goats are common on the neighboring heights. The springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mt., the hitrhest being 700 f^st 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; and, nearby, another spring forms an open basin of warm, sulphurous water. Since the opening of the railway, these springs have been largely visited, and testi- mony to their wonderful curative properties is plentiful. Cascade — Alt. 4,475 ft. Upon leaving Banff the railway rejoins the Bow and follows it up through a forested valley. The view backward is very fine. The Vermillion lakes are skirted, and ahead an excellent view is had of Mt. Massive 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 Mt. Hole-in-the- wall Mt. is passed upon the right, and then, a little beyond the station (where the park is left at the west- ern corner). Castle Mt. looms up ahead, on the rigiit, a sheer precipice of 5,000 feet — a giant's keep, with turrets, bastions and battlements complete. Castle Mountain— Alt. 4,570 ft.

After passinpj this point, the mountains on each side become exceedinfjly grand and prominent. Those on the right (northeast) form the bare, rugged and sliarply serrated Sawback sub-range, with a spur, called the Slate Mts., in the foreground at Laggan. On the left, the lofty Bow range fronts the valley in a series of magnificent snow-laden i)romontories. At first, enchanting glimpses only are caught through the trees, as you look ahead; but before E/don is reached, the whole long array is in plain view. Turning to the left, a,nd looking back, tlie central peak of Pilot Mt. is seen, hke 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 Mt., squarely opposite the sombre precipices of the Castle. West- ward of Copi)er Mt., the 'gap of Vermillion Pass opens through the range, permitting a view of manv a lofty spire and icy crest along the continental watershed, from whose glaciers and snow-fields the Vermillion River flows westward into tlie Kootenay. West of the en- trance into Vermillion Pass stretches the long, rugged, wall-like front of Mt. Tem])le; and beyond it, standing supreme over this {)art of the range, the prodigious, isolated, helmet-shaped mountain named Lefroy— the loftiest and grandest in this whole panorama- This great mountain be(!omes visible at Cascade station, and from Eldon almost to the summit it is the most conspicuous and admirable feature of this wonderful valley. Laggan— Alt. 4,930 ft. At Laggan tne railway leaves the Bow and ascends a tributary from the west, which oouises down through a gap in the Bow range. Look- ing upward through this gap towards Bow Lake and the huge peak of Mt. Hector, a view is obtained of the first of the groat glaciers. It is a broad, crescent-shaped river of ice, the furtlser end concealed behind the lofty yellow cliffs that hem it in.

The most striking of these canyons is the Albert, where the river is seen nearly 300 ft. below the railway, com- pressed into a boiling flume scarcely 20 ft. wide. The trein stops here for a few minutes, and solidly built balconies enable passengers to safely look into the boiling cauldron below. Twin Butte — Tliis station takes its name from the huge double summit near by, now called Mounts Macken- zie-Tilley. After passing the station, there looms up upon the right the conspicuous and beautiful peak named Clachnacoodin. As we approach the westtrn base of the Selkirks, the narrow valley again becomes a gorge, and the railway and river dispute the passage through a chasm with vertical rocky walls standing but ten yards apart The line suddenly emerges into a comparatively open, level and forest-covered space, swings to the right and reaches lievclstoke. Revelstoke— Alt 1,475 ft On the Columbia River—a rail- way divisional point. Tlie town is situated on the river- bank half a mile from the station. The Columbia, which has made a great detour around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the railway has come directly acro-'s, is here much larger than at Donald, from which it has fallen 1050 ft It is navigable southward to the International boundary, 200miles distant and a dozen miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful and fertile country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. A delightful side-trip on tlie river can be enjoyed by taking str. Marion from here down the Columbia river toSproat's Landing, a run of 165 miles through lovely scenery. Revelstoke has an important trade with the mining country above and below, and Kootenay lake and valley are easily reached from here. The two peaks southeust are Mackenzie and Tilley. The mountains beyond are in the Gold or Columbia range, and the most pro- minent one of them in view, towards the southwest, is Mt. Begbie,— imposing and glacier-studded. Clanwilliam— Alt. 1,996 ft. The Columbia is crossed upon Griffin Lake— Alt. 1,900 ft. Craigellachie— Alt 1,450 ft, a bridge half a mile lonj' and the Gold range is a^ once entered by Eagle Pass, which is so deep-cut and direct that it seems to have been purposely pro- vided for the railway, in compensation, perhaps, for the enormous difficulties that had to be overcome in the Rockies and Selkirks. Lofty mountains rise abruptly on each side througliout, and the pass is seldom more than a mile wide. The highest point reached by the line in this pass is at Summit Lake, 8 miles from, and only 525 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. The valley is filled throughout with a dense growth of immense trees — spruce, Douglas fir.

Northward within a day caribou are abundant; the deer shooting soutliward within 30 miles is probably unequalled on this continent, and on the lakes there is famous sport in deep- trolling for trout. The London Thrwn has well described this part of the line :— " The Eagle River leads us down " to the Great Shuswap Lake, so named froi the Indian " tribe tiiat lived on its banks and who still have a " 'reserve' there. This is a most remarkable body of " water. It lies among the mountain ridges, and conse- ' quently extends its long narrow arms along the inter- " vening 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 alter- " nating bays and capes, give beautiful views. The rail- " way crosses one of these arms by a drawbridge at " Sicamous Narrow^, and then goes for a long distance " along the southern shores of the lake, running entirely " around the end of the Salmon arm." Simmons is the station for the Spallumsheen mining district and other regions up the river and around Okinagan Lake, where there is a large settlement; steamboats ascend the river thirty miles, and a railway is proposed. " For fifty " miles the line -.vinds 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 ra'lway in getting around it " leads at different, and many, times towards every one " of the thirty-two points of the compass. Leaving the " Salmon arm of the lake rather than go a circuitous " course around the mountains to reach the Southwest- " ern arm, the line strikes through tin stover the top " of the intervening ridge INotch Hill].

The line " gradually runs down hill until it reaches the level of " the water, but here it has passed the lake, which has " narrowed into the [south branch of the] Thompson " River. Then the valley broadens, and the eye that " has been so accustomed to rocks and roughness and " the uninhabited desolation of the mountains is glad- " dened by the sight of grass, fenced fields ■^rowiiT' "crops, hay-stacks, and good farmhouses on 'the level " surface, while herds of cattle, sheep, and horses roam " over the valley and bordering hills in large numbers.

The north fork of the Tliompson comes down from the mountains 200 miles northward, and hero joins the main river, whence the name of the place, which \h an Indian word meaning a river-confluence. It is a beautiful spot. The broad valleys intersect at right angles. There is a background of bordering hillf, and fine groves line both banks of the streams. Steamboats are on the river, and saw mills briskly at work, Chinese labor being largely employed. The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops, is an Indian reservation, over- looked by St. Paul's Mountain. The principal industry around Kamloops will always be grazing, since the hills are covered with most nutritious "buncli-grass." Agri- culture and fruit raising flourishes, wherever irriga- tion is practicable. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral region southward, especially in the Okinagan and Nicola \ aileys, reached by stage-lines. Tranquille , Just below Kamloops the Thompson Cherry Creek widens out into Kamloops Lake, a b/oad, beautiful, hill-girt sheet of water, along the south shore of which the raUway rune some 20 miles- Half- way a series of mountain spurs project into the lake, and are pierced by numerous tunnels, one following the other in close succession. At Savona's Ferry, the Savona's Perry \ lake ends, the mountains draw near. Penny's I and the series of Thompson River canyons is entered, leading westward to the Fraser through marvellous scenery.

With this fantastic color, to which tho doubly brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a sky of deepest violet, there goes tho additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a con- stantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by wate^" and wind, into towers and monuments, goblins a. a griflins. The strange forms and gaudy hues of the rocks and scantily herbaged terraces impress them- selves most strongly on the memory. Five miles be- yond Dryyioch, Nicomen, a little mining town, is seen on the opposite bank of the river, where gold was first dis- covered 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- Tho gorge rapidly nar- rows 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. Lytton— Alt. 675 ft. \ At Lytion, a small trading town Cisco I where ranchmen and Indians ap- Keefer's ! pear in numbers, the canyon sud- denly widens to admit the Fraser, the chief river of tho province, which comes down from the north between two great lines of mountain peaks. 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 at- tracts attention all along the Fraser and Thompson valleys. Usuallj twisting and turning about the cliflFd, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an angry turn of the waters. *^"x miles below Cisco, 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 seen on projecting rocks down at the water's edge, spearing sal- mon or scooping them out with dip-nets, and in sunny Eaat- bound Trmin ARRIVI Nicola and 8imili- iiamoun Fanta,. tic canyon scenery MllM flrom VMoVf Ascend- ing the Thomp- son River 22.06 21.36 20.46 Upper valley and crossing of the teaser MileH flrom Mnnt'l 2777 2792 156 149 140 t Flag Station 2803 2817 2824 2835 t Flag Sti Kaat- Itoiind Trmln__ HRIVB Mllu from Vtnc'v'f ricola anil iimili- iwuoun anta tie lanyon oenery Pacific division 35 Mile<4 firom Mcint'l soond- DK the homp- son River i2.06 J1.36 50.46 Upper i^alley and rossing ^f the i*\aser 2777 2792 156 149 140 Flag Station 2803 2817 Weit- bound Tram LEAVE Indians and China- men b'kfast 7.36 18.35 SIXTH DAY 2824 2835 The great canyon 9.23 tl0.15 Hope Peak STATIONS— Descriptive Notes End of the cany'ns tlO.45 11.09 Harri- son Springs spots the salmon are drying on poles.

At Boston Bar, four miles l)elow, the principal canyon of the Frasor com i nces, and from here to Yale, 23 miles, the scenery is not only intensely interesting, but startling. It has been well described as "matchlees." The great river is forced between vertical walls of black rocks where, repeatedly thrown back upon itself by opposing clitl's, 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 apurs of rock are pierced by tunnels in close succession. At Spuzzum the government road, as if seeking company in this awful place, crosses the chasm by a suspension bridge to the side of the railway, and keeps with it, abo^e or below, to Yale. Ten miles below Spuzzum the enormous cliffs apparently shut together and seem to bar the v/ay. The river makes an abrupt turn to the left, and the railway, turning to the right, disap|)ears into a long tunnel, emerging into daylight and rejoining the river at Yale. Yale— Alt. 200 ft. I Yale (pop. 1,200) is the head of ravi- Hope — Alt. 200 ft. I gation and an outfitting point for miners and ranchmen northward. It ( "cupies a bench above the river in a deep cul de sac ir tho mountains, which rise abruptly and to a great h«;ight on all sides. Indian huts are seen on the opposito 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 Yale. Across the river from Hope Stotion is the village of the- s vme name — a mining town and trading-post, whe:ice trails lead over the mountain in difl'erent directions. Southwestward may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver ore are exposed, and only awaiting suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Below Hoj^ the canyon widens out, and is soon succeeded by a broad, level valley with rich soil and heavy timber. The rude Indi;m farms give place to broad, well-cultivated fields, i^hich become more and more frequent, and vegetatioi of all kinds rapidly increases in luxuriance as the Tacific is ap- proached. Ruby Creek | Ruby Creek is named from the gar- Agassiz I nets found in the vicinity. Agassiz, overlooked by Mt. Che-am, is the station for Harrison SiRiNGs (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north. Thcoo Springs are famed for their curative pro- perties, and are visited by invalids from everywhere on the Pacific Coast. A good hotel afibrds accommoda- tions, and the country about is most interesting.

Miles from Vnnc'v'r Harrisou i Harrimn Station the Harrison River Nicomen i is crossed just above its confluence with the Fraser. Until the opening of the Fraser route, in 18G4, the only access to the northern interior of the' province was by way of the Harrison valley. A few miles beyand Nicomen, Mount Baker comes into view on the left, and miles away— a beautiful isolated cone, risint? 13,000 feet above the railway level. At Mimon is Jgssion an important Roman Catholic Indian Wharnock school. Eight miles beyond, at the Hatnmond crossing of the Stave River, the finest view of Mt. Baker is had, looking back and up the Fraser, which has now become a smooth but mighty river. Immense trees are now frequent, and their size is indicated by the enormous stumps near the railway. On approaching Hammond, extensive brick-yards are seen, whence the city of Vancouver is largely supplied. New Westminster June, j Divergence of branch line to (New Westminster) | the important town of New Westminster (pop. 5,000), on the Fraser River, eight miles distant— one cf the foremost towns in the pro- vince. At New Westminster are the Provincial Peni- tentiary and Insane Asylum. The town has many handsome buildings, and is the headquarters of the sal- mon canning industry, which is represented bv a dozen or more extensive establishments. It has also large saw-mi)ls, the product of which is shipped lartrely to China and Australia. Steamers ply regularly to Victoria. Port Moody Port Moody, at the head of Burrard Hastings Inlet, was for a time the terminus of the railway. From here to Vancouver the railway fol- lows the south shore of the inleS and the outlook is most delightful. Snow-tipped mountains, beautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-hke waters of the deep-set inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ocean steamships and sailfng craft loadmg with sawn timber for all parts of the world ; on the other hand, and towering high above, are gigantic trees, twenty, tliirty and even forty feet around. Pass- ing Hastings, the new city of Vancouver soon appears. 2 Vancouver— Pop. 15,000. The Pacific terminu.s of the rail- way. Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was most rapid, b»it in July a fire, spreading from the .surrounding forest, awyyl 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 Coal Harbor, a widening of Burrard Inlet, £lnd 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 re- gards picturesqueness, natural drainage, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharves and warehouses ; many hotels, one of them 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.

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 China and Japan, to Victoria, San Francisco, Alaska and Puget Sound ports. The country south, towards the Fraser, has fine farms, and is especially adapted to fruit-growing. The coal supply comes from Nanaimo, directly across the Strait of Georgia, and almost witliin 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 Mt. Baker looming up at the south-east. Opportunities for sport are unlimited —mountain goats, bear and deer in the hills along the mlet; trout-fishing in the mountain-streams; and sea- fishing in endless variety. A stay of a week here will be well rewarded. A new Clyde built steamer connects with Victoria, daily, except Mondays, when connection is made via New Westminster--a ferriage of seven hours through a beautiful archipelago. On Mondays and Thursdays a fine new steamship departs for Seattle, Tacoma and other Puget Sound ports— a trip of a day, m smooth water, with delightful scenery. >teamships for Yokohama and Hong Kong depart about every fifteen days. Victoria— Pop. 14,000. Capital of British Columbia, charm- ingly situated at the southern extremity of Vancouver Island. It looks out westward through the Straits of Fuca to the Pacific, southward into Puget Sound, and eastward, beyond the Gulf of Georgia, to the mainland. Across the strait are the beautiful Olympic Mountains, and far away at the east the white cone of Mt. Baker is conspicuous. The climate is that of the south of Eng- land, and the town is peculiarly English in all its char- acteristics. Besides the Government offices, the city has many fine public and private buildings, among them a large and well appointed opera house. The chief hotel lias a world-wide reputation. Well made roads afford delightful drives in all directions. Beacon Hill Park affords a fine view of the waters and moun- tains on every side. The ^ity has an extensive trade and many large commercial nouses. 'Ihe Chinese quar- ter is always interesting to visitors. A railway ex- tends north-easterly 70 miles to the great coal-mines at Nanaimo. Steamboats afford connections with Vancouver daily except Mondays, where connection is made via New Westminster, and with Puget Sound ports, daily ex- cept Sundays ; and steamships depart about every five days for San Francisco, where connections are made for the Sandwich Islands, Australia, southern California, Mexico and South American west-coast norts. A steam- er departs about every ten days in sun. ler for Alaska, visiting the wonderful fiords of the north coa-t. Esqui- malt Harbor, two miles from Victoria, is the British naval station and rendezvous 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. n;ast- bound Train Com- mercial advan- tages from Vanc'v'r Cross- ing the (iulf of Georgia A.M. 4.00 leave A steamer of the Can.

Bracebridge and Huntsoille Bracebridge I are summer resorts and manufac- Huntsville | turing towns. Tliis beautiful dis- trict lies several hundred feet above the level of Lake Huron, and consists of a net-work of lakes, ponds and rapid streams, widely and justly renowned. The lakes are filled with islands, are indented by bold promon- tories, and, with their connecting rivers, wind in and out of leafy defiles. The fishing is famous, the catch including brook and lake trout, black bass, maskinonge and pickerel. Grouse-shooting is good everywhere, and deer are plentiful in their reason. The villages are pleasant and prosperous (only principal stations are given here), and in summer many pleasure-hotels, reached b\ steamboats and stages, are open among tiie Burk's Falls , lakes at a distance from tlie railway.
