Old St. John, with all her romantic tokens of French rule and Acadian simpli<*ity, is lost, but new St. .John tills her i)lace admir- ably, unci is now a busy modern centre. St. .John is a maritime city, and a great feature is the Bay of Fundy and the grand harbor, an inspection of the line wharves and diU'erent craft lieing always of special interest to a visitor. The St. .lohn river, "the Rhine of America," with its wonderful " reversible cataract," should be seen by every visitor ; also the line 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 the world. A trip up the St. John river to Fredericton by steamer will reveal all the changing beauties of that stream. Steamers ply daily between St. John and Digby and Annapolis, and the International Line of steamers give coniieittion with EaBtport, Me., Portland ami Boston.

Chief city of Canaost was established here by tlio French 250 years ago; and this Wi's the last i)lace yielded by the French to the Kn;:- lish in 1703. For numy years it was tlie chief centre of the fur trade. Atlanti(! steamships of the Allan, Do- minion, BeavHr and other lines run hero. The St. Law- rence river and canals l)ring this way a large part of tlio trade of the Great Lakes. Numerous railway lines, most- ly controlled by the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies, radiate from here in all directions. Both these companies have their principal ofhces and workshoi s here, and both have great bridges over the St. Lawrence River. The city has a far-reaching trade and groat man- ufacturing establishments ; has tine wharves of masonry, vast warehouses and grain elevators, imposing public buildings, handsome residences and sujierior hotels. Trains run direct to New York, Boston and Portland, as well as to all Canadian cities; and the transcontinental trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway run from here to the Pacific Coast without change. Trains for Toronto, Halifax, Boston, Portland, SaultSte. Marie, St. P'ul and Minneapolis, depart from Windsor Street station Hochelaga — The "east end" of Montreal. The railway workshops and cattle yards are situated here. Mile-End— Suburb of Montreal. Junction with lines for Toronto, Boston, Portland, Halifax, etc. Sault aux RecoUets — Rapids of a branch of the Ottawa. St. Martin Junction — Divergence of line to Quebec. Ste. Rose, at the crossing of the north branch of the Ottawa, is a charming French village, and a favorite place of summer residence. From here to Ottawa the line follows the north- ern bank of the Ottawa, and fre- quent views are had of its broad waters bearing numerous steamboats, lumber barges and rafts of timber. The valley is divid- ed into narrow, well-tilled French farms, mostly de- voted to dairy products. Pictures(iue villages are passed at frequent intervals. Streams coming down from the Laur ntian Hills at the north afford frequent water- powers and good fishing. At St. Thcnxc tliree branch- lines diverge to St. Lin, St. Jkromh and St. P]ustache. iMchutr (pop. 2,000) has large paper mills and wood-working and other industries, and is an imjjortant 8hi{> pi''" point for dairy products. At Ca ..a>'t are extensive saw-mills, and these occur frequently all along the river.

The Chaudiere Falls, which hero interrupt the navigation of the Ottawa River, afford water-power for a host of saw-mills and other manufactories. Vast quantiticis of lumber are made here from logs floated down from the Ottawa River audits tributaries. The city stands on high ground overlooking a wide valley, and contains many line residence.s, large hotels, etc., but the stately Government Buildings overshadow all. Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor-General, is two miles distant. A branch of the Canadian Pacilic Railway extends southward to Phicscott, on the St. Law- rence, and the Canada Atlantic Railway runs from here to Lake Chami)lain. Leaving Ottawa, the railway follows the south bank of the Ottawa River for a distance, and on its wide stretches may bo seen enormous tjnantities of saw-logs held in " booms" for the use of the mills below. 122 Skead's 124 Brittannia 128 Bell's Corners 134 Stittsville 143 Ashton 148 1.20 §Carleton Place (Junction)— Pop, 3,()00, Jnnction of a branch-line running south, crossing the Montreal-and- Toronto line at Smith's Falls ; at Buockvii-lb, on the St, Lawrence, it connects with lines to New York, etc. At Carleton Place are large saw-mills, railway and other workshops. Proceeding from Carleton Place, the line takes a north-westerly course, still following the beautiful Ottawa Valley, which, to Pembroke and be- yond, is well cultivated by English, Scotch and German farmers. Large clear streams come rushing down to the Ottaw^a from the hills at the west, and these, and the Ottawa as well, afford tine fishing — maskinonge, trout and bass being common.

I'rom Pend)roke to Mattawa the railway continues al ng the west bunk of the Ottawa thr .ugh a country cleared of tind:)(^r, and not yet generally cultivated. The valley narrows anil the Ottawa Hows deeply between the increasing hills. Little towns are growing '.\_. around the saw-mills, whicli occur wherever water-power is to be had.

It is a favorite centre for moose hunters, anl guides and supplies for shooting exptiditions may ah^'ays be obtained here. At Mattawa, the line leaves the Ottawa and strikes across towards Lake Nipissing, through a somewhat wild and broken country with freiiuent 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 from the car windows. A mile beyond Tkornclifl'i' is the junction of the Northern & Northwestern Div. of tlie G. T.

At LavgtJon tiie railway falls to the valley of Bow River, and a few miles beyond Shijiard the river is crossed by an iron br'''ge and the fool-hills are reached. Calgary— .lit. 3,388 ft. Pop. 3,400. The most important, as well as the handsomest, town between Brandon and Vancouver. It is charmingly situated on a hill-girt plateau, overlooked by the white peaks of the Rockies. It is the centre of the trade of the great ranching country and the chief source of f-uj)ply f.,r 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 post of the Hudson's Bay Company.

"benches," or terraces. Exten- sive ranches are passed in rapi 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 j)romontories, rising thousands of foot, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and sliadow of gorgeous coloring lie en- gulfed. The jaggedness of profile observed from the plains is now explained. These mountains are tremen- dous uj>lifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and Carboniferous ages, which have been broken otit of the crust of tlie 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 less on edge (always, on this slope, towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position ; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious, side-pres- sure, while all have been broken down and worn away tintil now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the clifi's. by the ledges that hold the snow after it has .lisappeared elsewiiere, or by long lines of trees which there alone can maintain a foothold ; and this peculiarity is one of the most strik- ing and admirable features of the scenery. Many ranges of prodigious mountains like these must be traversed be- fore the Pacific Coast is reaciied, and grandeur and beauty will crowd upon the attention without ceasing, as the train speeds through gorge and over mountain, giving here a vast outlook, and there an interior glimpse, then exchanging it for a new one with the suddenness of a kaleidoscope. § Refreshirent Station The , Three ' Sisters Geology of the moun- > tains Their grand- eur t,H«t- Milei hound flrom Train Vanf'v'r AKKIVK 2:;. 4/) 2:;. 27 Kanan- luskis falls Exit from ' the ! moun- 1 tains through How River (jiap Peculi-, arities of ; moun- i tain .scenery, Cii spade Mt 588 580 t Flag Station 24 TRANSCONTINENTAL ROUTH Milei Weit- from hound Itont'l Traill STATIONS— Descriptive Notes 2331 LBAVH 5.55 ^Canmore— Alt. 4,230 ft.

Here the line for a time leaves the Bow and strikes uj) the valley of Cascade River, directly toward the face of Cascade Mt, which, though miles away, is apparently but a stone's throw distant, and wliich seems to rise in enormous mass and advance bodily to meet us ; this marvellous eflect should not be missetl by the traveller. In the shadow of the Cascade Mt., at Anthracite station, are the great coal mines which penetrate a spur of the Fuirholme 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 jjark 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 jxjints of view and features of si)e(!ial interest so accessible, since many good roads and bridlepaths have been made. The railway station at Bantl is in the midst of impressive mountains. The huge mass northward is Cascade Mt. (9,875 ft.); eastward is JNlt. Inglismaldie, and the heights of the Fairholme sub-range, behind which lies Devil's-Head lake. Still further eastward the sharp cone of Peeclipc (in that range) closes tlie view in that direction ; tiiis is the highest mountain visible, exceeding 10,000 f't.

Hector— Alt. 5,190 ft. mountain some miles ahead — the chief ])eak of the Rockies in this latitude — is named in honor of Sir George Stephen, Bart., formerly President of the Cana- dian Pacific Ry. Co. The small lake at the station, called Sunmiit Lake, vividly reflects the surrounding moun- tains. From here the line descends rapidly, passing the beautiful Wapta Lake at Hector, and crossing the deep gorge of the Wapta, or Kickinghorse, River jnst beyond. The scenery is now sublime and almost terrible. The line clings to the mountain-side at the left, and the valley on the right rapidly deepens until the river is seen as a gleaming thread a thousand feet below. Look- ing to the nortii, one of the grandest mountain- valleys in tlie world stretches away to the north, with great, white, glacier-bound peaks on either side.

Emerging from the gorge at Beavermoulh, the line soon turns abruptly to the left and enters the Selkirks through the Gato of the Beaver River — a |)a8sage so narrow that a felled tree serves as a foot- bridge over it— just M'here the river makes its final and mad plunge down to the level of the Columbia.

Opposite is a lino of huge tree-cl.id hills, occasion- ally showing snow-covered heads above the tiinlx^r line. Nature has worked here on so gigantic a scale that many travellers fail to notice the extraordinary height of the spruce, Oouglas fir and cedar troths, which seem to be engaged in a vain (lomi^etition with the mountains themselves. From Six-Mile Orrik station, one sees ahead, up the Beave* alloy, a long line of the higher j)eaks of the Selkirks, in (c/r/o);, culminating in an exceedingly lofty pinnaclt\ named Sir Donald, with which a more intimate ac(|naintance will be made at Olacier Hou.so. Again, from Alountain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a powerful torrent comes down from high moun- tains northward, the same view is obtained, nearer and largtir, and eiglit peaks can be counted in a grand array, the last of wlii(;h is Sir Donakl, leading the line. A little further on, Cedar Creek is crossed, and not far west of it is a very high bridge, spanning a foaming cas- cade, whence one of the most beautiful proS|)ects of the whole journey is to bo hail. So impressed were tho builders with the charm of this magnificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot Thr Surjiri.ir. As Bear Creek station is approached, a brief but precious glimpse is caught of Hermit Mt., through a gap in the clifl's on the right. This station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen penetrating the mountains southward for a louj.^ distance. The line here leaves the Beaver and turns up Bear Creek along con- tinuing grades of 116 feet to the mile. The principal dilficnlty in construction on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid cascad'js, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into tlie steep slof^'S along which the railway creeps. The greatest of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek — a noisy rill flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V- shaped channel, 25)5 foet below the rails — one of tho loftiest railway bridges in the world. All of the difliculties of the railway from snow in the winter occur be- tween Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on tiie west slojx) of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construc- tion, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber-work.

The river makes an abrupt turn to the left, and the railway, turning to the right, disap|)ear8 into a long tunnel, emerging into daylight and rejoining the river at Yale.

Across the river from Hope Station is the village of the same name — a mining town and trading-post, whence trails lead over the mountain in diflerent 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 lloi^e the canyon widens out, and is soon succeeded by a broad, level valley with rich soil and heavy tind)er. The rude Indian farms give place to broad, well-cnHivatcd lields, which become more and more freijuent, and vegetation of all kinds rapidly increases in luxuriance as the Pacific is ap- proached. Ruby Creek | liuhy Cmk is named from the gar- Agassiz i nets foimd in the vicinity. Agamz, overlooked by ]Mt. Che-am, is the station for H.\rrison Si'RiNGS (hot sulphur), on Harrison Lake, five miles north.

The town Iias many handsome buildings, and is the headquarters of the sal- mon canning im'ustry, which is represented l)y a dozen or more extensive establish.ments. It has also large saw-mills, the [)roduct of which is shiiijxiil laru'ely 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 tlie inlet, and the outlook is most delightful. Siiow-tii)ped mountains, l)eautiful in form and color, rise opposite, and are vividly reflected in the mirror-like waters of the deep-set inlet. At intervals along the heavily wooded shores are mills with villages around them, and with ot:ean steamships and sailing craft loading with sawn timber for all part.s of tde world ; on the other hand, and toweri;ig high above, are gigantic trees, twenty, thirty and even forty feet around.
