The Royal Visit 
 
 'HEN the loyal Canadian 
 \J.\i people learned that they were 
 to have the honour of entertaining 
 their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and 
 Duchess of Cornwall and York, they 
 received a further intimation that 
 royal progress would be madi 
 ' from the Atlantic to the Pacit: 
 and back, so that all parts of this broad Dominion 
 might have a chance of welcoming its futu 
 King and Queen, and, as to carry out these inten- 
 tions, it would be necessary to travel more than 7,000 
 miles by railway, the President and Directors of th 
 Canadian Pacific Railway decided at once to build a 
 train which should be worthy of the special ser 
 vice in which it was to be used. 
 
 At length, after months of careful preparation 
 the Royal train is ready lor the accommodation of 
 the Duke and Duchess. As it awaits the debarkation 
 of their Royal Highnesses, standing beneath the 
 historic fortress of Quebec, it is a marvel of perfect 
 
 maae 
 citic if 
 
 ne BBV" 
 
W: 
 
workmanship, and an ezainple of all that is best in 
 construction and equipment. The mahogany coaches. 
 
 the plate glass windows,^ tht djicsil arms showing on 
 either end of the Royal citi, and the powerful engine 
 
of great weight and size, making a 
 train altogether unique in this western 
 hemisphere. 
 
 The private coaches of their Royal 
 
 Highnesses are the three rear ones of 
 
 the train the "Cornwall," intended 
 
 for the use of the Duke and Duchess 
 
 by day, is the last of the nine cars 
 
 sww composing the Royal train. A sheltered 
 
 observation platform, broad, commodious and carpeted 
 
 with the softest rubber tiling, creates a favorable 
 
 impression in the visitor. Here, from this sheltered 
 
 no t, the Royal travellers will be able 
 
 to enjoy the long vistas of 
 
 noble scenery through which 
 
 the train will pass. Entering 
 
 a doorway whose panels are 
 
 heavy plate glass, half hidden 
 
 by festoons of pearl grey .■■ "x, 
 
 the main reception room 
 
 is reachc a delightful 
 
 apartment in the style 
 
 of Louis XV, with draperies 
 
 of darl: blue velvet. 
 
 Perhaps the most striking 
 
Kt-ception Room, **Curnwali" 
 
feature of this room is its light and airy appearance, 
 owing to the fact that its walls are largely made up of 
 plate glass windows. Passing onward, through a winding 
 corridor, where the dainty little telephone instrument is 
 
 i n s t a 1 1 e d, the 
 visitor finds him 
 self at the door 
 of the Duchess's 
 boudoir, a 
 charming room 
 upholstered in 
 pale blue, moire 
 silk, and having 
 pearl grey walls 
 adorned with 
 paintings Hijtt 
 ''i^iiteau, by 
 Shattle. 
 
 Further for- 
 ward is the din- 
 ing room, whose 
 panelled walls 
 carry the ar- 
 mourial bearings 
 of the King, the 
 
 I Hicl,,„-~-lH,.„J,iir. •C'..rn»:,ir 
 
Duke and Duchess, -nd the arms of the Dominion of 
 Canada. Here there are seats for eight at the table, and 
 a magnificent candelabrum will illuminate it after dark by 
 
 a flood of soft light. Just a glance, as we pass, at the 
 perfect little kitchen, with its compact range and its shining 
 
i 
 
 array of utensils a glance which fills the mind with 
 admiration for the ingenuity of the man who could put 
 so much into s. small a space. 
 
The night coach, "York," is reached through a 
 vestibule whose diaphragms are curtained in soft, green 
 plush. This car contains the royal bedrooms and bath- 
 
rooms. to?i-tht, wil, sl«pm>; comp.utnu-nls (or llu- lady 
 and Kcntlfmau in waiting, and strvant^' rooms. Tlu' 
 
 prevailing tints of the Duchess' chamber are blue and 
 P"r' grey, and those of the Duke's Rrey and royal 
 
Parioui. ■• Canada *

 found in the ptrfccily appointed 
 bedrooms of a palace has been 
 omitted from these sleepinij 
 chambers. The Duchess' 
 bedroom and almost the 
 same description will apply to 
 that of th.. Duke has a 
 roomy, metal bedstead, heavily 
 gilt, as inviting a .ouch as the 
 mind can conceive. The delicate 
 , ^ '*'=•■■ °' the pillow covers seems in 
 
 perfect harmony of design with the soft, silken panel 
 of the room. The pr.vate bathrooms are reached directly 
 :rom the Royal bedrooms, the walls of each being similarly 
 "Pholstered in a soft, waterproof material. Dressing 
 tables, easy chairs and mirrors ar e not lackmg . 
 
 The third coach is the 
 "Canada," reached through a 
 vestibule identical in every re- 
 spect with that joining the ■ 
 " Cornwall " to the " York.' 
 This is a compartm;nt car,

 tautiful towers of the Parlia-

 and the Royal train glides smoothly onward toward the

 Imeswmgs sharply to the west. Yonder low muddy point 
 
 |s almost hallowed ground to the student of Canadian 
 
 history. Here Champlain La Verendrye, Simpson. *^-%8

 halted on his way to the unknown 
 
 West, for the old came route to the

 Here .he mouths of the finest trout rivers of the continent

 The bountiful harvest has 
 been gathered, and the Anglo- 
 Saxon race is the richer by the 
 sixty million bushels of whe it 
 which It has yielded. From 
 
Wmnipeg to the mountains the ....iway traverses a 
 Kreat tract of level plain, from which a feingdom 
 could be carved. Beyond Regina. the old buffalo trails 
 and wallows catch the eye monuments of a vanished 
 species which will not be obliterated, should nought but the 
 
 * •tiff. 
 
 e'ements interfere, for many a long year to come. As 
 the Royal train approaches the mountains, great bands of 
 fat steers, and herds of horses are passed, for this is the 
 
ranching country, the land of the foothills, where the 
 stockman has inherited the marches once roved over by 
 the bois brule' and the Blackfoot. 
 
 Beyond Calvary, at the (^ap, the mountains, which 
 have already been in sight for some hoars, are reached. To 
 
 the southward are the beautiful peaks of the Three Sisters 
 wondrous masses of stratified rock, whose rugged outlines 
 are faithfully reflected in the limpid Bow River. 
 
 The Royal train is now climbing steadily to the 
 summit of the Bow River Pass, by which it will gain 
 access to the Columbia Valley beyond the range. At Banff

 who.se sheer drop of 1,300 feet far eclipses in volume

 d-afen,ng and the valley below is filled with seething 
 volumes of spray. 
 
 The Kicking Horse Canon is the firs, of those 
 .mpressive gorges which have rendered the western 
 mountatn scenery so famous. After hours spent in this 
 narrow pass it is 
 a relief to enter 
 the smiling, peace- 
 ful valley of the 
 noble Columbia.

 and Sir Donald. This latter mountain is a naked pyramid 
 of rock, towering above the Glacier House, a very famous 
 resort, and one much frequented by members of the Alpine 
 Uub, and by men in search of big game. 
 
 Beyond this station ... The Loops, one ol the greatest 
 teats of engineering on the continent. This valley of 
 the Illecillewaet is followed to the second crossing of the 
 Columbia at Revelstoke: while the railway has taken a 
 short cut across the Selkirk Range, the river has only 
 flanked it by a sweep ot several hundred miles 
 
 Within the valley of the Illecillewaet are many canons 
 the stream dashing; impetuously hundreds of feet below 
 
 the edge of the bordering 
 cliffs. The finest of thes^- 
 is the Albert Canon, pass- 
 ing a point in which the 
 1 Illecillewaet is compressed 
 fnto a silver thread scarce 
 score of feet in width. 
 
Here, at ReveUtoke. the road fork.. The Royal train 
 will continue iti westerly courK over the main transconli- 
 .icnlal line, but, did time permit, a delightful trip could be 
 made by their Royal Highnesses down the Arrow Lakes, 
 and through the rich, mining districts of the Kootenay. 
 As compared with the two lofty ranges the train 
 has already climbed, the low pass through which the 
 line crosses the Gold Range is comparatively insignificant, 
 .ts summit being hut 2,525 feet above sea level; moreover,

aftdr passing through such a wealth of .:..,fry, . /ei ihe 
 beauties of the great Shuswap Lake, and of the *,..ding 
 Thompson do not cause so much comment as they would 
 have done a day or two previously. Sicamous is the 
 gateway to the rich valley of the Okana^an, where all 
 
 things grow at the bidding of the farmer, from hops 
 such as the Kentishman knows, to tobacco scarcely inferior 
 in flavour to the Virginian leaf. This valley, together 
 with its sisters of the South Thompson and the Fraser,

 sometimes made, that British

 But when the eerie canon 
 Jof the Eraser is reached the 
 ■most sluggish pulse must beat 
 Jmore quickly, as the mind takes 
 fin the solemn grandeur of that 
 |. unrivalled gorge. Emerging 
 "i from the shadows for a brief 
 'space the old Cariboo bridge is 
 fseen. This was once the (j,.ly 
 means of access and egress to 
 the placer mines of the interior. 
 Forty years ago thousands of red-shirted miners followed 
 that dizjy road along these cliffs, but wtoBthe Canadian 
 Pacific Railway had been -'**^*- 
 
 completed the trail had no 
 more travellers, and was 
 allowed to fall into dis- 
 repair. 
 
 And now the run 
 of more than 3,000 miles 
 will soon be ended. Al- 
 ready the soft, warm air 
 
of the Pacific ,3 making itself felt, and a few hours later the 
 rose-embowered verandas of Vancouver are reached, and the 
 Royal train halts, at length, within si^ht oi the great white 
 tmpress Line steamship which will carry the Royal party to 
 Victoria, the island capital, whose suburb is Esquimault. 
 Britain's Northern Pacific squadron's headquarters. Cities 
 grow with great rapidity in Canada, but the growth of 
 Vancouver is considered to have been marvellously rapid 
 even for the Dominion. F.fteen years ago the site was a 
 mass of smouldering embers and blackened tree trunks ■ 
 to-day Vancouver is a bright, homelike city which shares 
 w.th ,t5 neighbour " Victoria " the trade of the North Pacific 
 coast. 
 
 The S.S. " Empress of India," whi.h will convey their 
 Royal Highnesses from Vancouver to Victoria, and back 
 to the port of embarkation, is a handsome, speedy vessel 
 of 6.000 tons measurement. This vessel, together with 
 two sister ships, form the fleet of Royal Mail Steamships, 
 plying between Vancouver, Yokohama and Hong Kong 
 owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. Each 
 one of these steamers is commanded by an officer of the 
 Royal Naval Reserve. As the steamship ploughs through 
 the sheltered waters of the Gulf of Georgia, the white sails 
 of the fisher fleet will be noticed dotting the entrance to 
 the Eraser, for this is the home of the salmon, and here they 
 are caught in numbers such as the oldest netsman on Tweed 
 
and Shannon has n.ver a«an,ed of. Thi. waterway is

 Here, at Victoria, the Ion, run of 3,162 miles from 
 Quebec ends. The Royal party has now reached the 
 western shore of the Dominion, and the hour has come for
