This old 2.:iO 8053 city occupies tiie base and Buniniit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who sailed into the river, spent the winter of 1535 at the base of the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established her" a head- quarters for trading. As the settle- mentgrew,and the fortifications were enlarged, Quebec became the strong- hold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so grandly situated or offers views from Its higher points so diversified and lovely. In Upper Town, on the highlands, the public buildings, churches, convents, schools, business blocks and hotels, chief among which on Dufferm Terrace is the Chateau Frontenac, a magnificent fireproof structure, are found. Lower Town is the commercial quarter and ab- ounds in irregular narrow streets and quaint old houses. Enormous transactions in lumber go on here annually. The lower valley of the St. Lawrence and the northern lumber- ing regions draw their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, hlstory,and opportunities for sport. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Lake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St. John, Chicou- timi, and the headwaters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the oppo- site bank of the St. Lawrence come the Grand Trunk, the In- tercolonial, and the Quebec Central. Transatlantic steamers of the Allan, Dominion, Beaver and Hansa lines land here in summer, and local steamers depart for the lower St. Lawrence and the Saguenay rivers. 11 n^ -A^ddltional trains leave Quebec for Montreftl at 8.00 a.m. (week days only) U. 00 p.m. daily, Sunday included, arrlvini?

It is a favorite centre for moose hunters, and guides and sup- plies for shooting expeditions may always be obtained here. An attract- ive point for touriets is Lake Temis- kaming and no more enjoyable canoeing can be imagined tlian in exploration of these waters which abound in fish, as the country does in game. To the south of the railway is Algonquin Park, established by the Ontario Government as a forest and game preserve. At Mattawa the line leaves the Ottawa and strikes across toward Lake Nipissing, through a some- what wild and broken country with fre- quent lakes and rapid streams. Fish- ing and shooting are excellent. Little villages surrounding sawmills con- tinue to occur and newly-made farms are not infrequent. 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 carwindows. Callander (now called Bonfleld) was originally intended as the eastern terminus of the C.P.R., to which connecting roads would run, but with the change of control from Government to Company the trans- continental line was extended to Mont- real. A mile beyond Thorncliff is Nip- issing Junction, the junction of the G.T. Ry. from Toronto, etc., coming north by way of Lake Simcoe and the Muskoka lakes.

From Forrea to Dun- more, rocks of the Cretaceous age occur, in which the remains of gigan- tic .saurians and other extinct animals are abundant. At Dunmore, the Canadian Land and Ranche Com- pany have what may be taken as a typical mixed farm, for not only are capital crops raised here, but a number of valuable horscis and cattle are bred and pastured here. From Dunmore, the Crow's Nest Railway leads off westerly past Lethbbidge, one of the chief sources of the coal supply for the country east to Winnipeg and through the Crow's Nest Pass of the Rocky Mountains, to Kootenay Lake and to theminesof West Kootenay, in whose greater development it is proving a powerful factor by supplyuig cheap fuel for its smelters from the Fernie mines. It is also opening up the new miningregion of EastKootonay whose richness has been established .andcrea- ting a new market for the products of the prairies of Western Canada.

From Calgary, a branch line runs north to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan, and another branch south to Macleod thus throwing open a new anil vast country which is annually attracting settlers in large numbers.

Ex- tensive ranches are passed in rapid succession — great herds of horses in the lower valleys, thousands of cattle on the terraces, and flocks of sheep on the hilltops may be seen at once, making a picture most novel and interesting. 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 outlook is obtained, to- ward the left, where the foothills rise in successive tiers of sculptured heights to the snowy range behind them.

The Kanan- askis River is crossed 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.

Beyond it the track turns northward and ascends the long valley between the Fairholme range on the right and the Kananaskis range opposite. The prominent peak on tne left is Pigeon Mountain, and in approaching the station called The Uap, a magnificent view is obtained of Wind Mt. and the Three Sisters also on the left. A remarkable con- trast between the langes ahead is noticeable. On the right are fan- tastically broken ana 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 engulfed. The iaggednesd of profile ol)served from the plains is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts 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 remam 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- pressure, while all have been broken down and worn away until now they are only colossal fragments of the original upheavals. This disturbed stratification is plainly marked upon the faces of the cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has dis- appeared elsewhere, or by long lines or trees, which there alone can main- tain a foothold ; and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admir- able features of the scenery. Many ranges of prodigious mountains like these must be traversed before the Pacific Coast is reached, and grandeur and beauty will crowd upon fihe atten- tion without ceasing, as the train speeds through gorge and over moun- tain, giving here a vast outlook, and there an interior glimpse, then exchanging it for a new one with the suddenness of a kaleidoscope.

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 the Cascade River, directly toward the face of Cascade Mt., which, though miles away, is apparently but a stone's throw dis- tant, 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, the output largely supplying the country from the coast as far east as Winnipeg.

The village of Banff is a short distance southwest of the station, on tliehither side of the Bow, and the C.P.R. Hot Springs hotel about a mile further on. A steel bridge takes the carriage-road across to the magnificent hotel, built by the railway company, near the fine falls in the Bow and the mouth of the rapid Spray River. This hotel, which has every modern conveni- ence and luxury including baths supplied from the hotsulphur ..;iring8, is kept open from 15th May to 1st October, and thither people from all lands Hock in numbers. It is most favorably placed for health, pictur- esque views, and as a centre for canoe- ing, driving, walking or mountain- climbing. There are also a sanitarium and hospital m the village, and a mus- eum of more than local interest has been established by the Qovernment. In Devil's lake, on which a fine launch has been placed, there is capital Ash- ing, the trout being of extraordin- ary size. Wild sheep (the big-horn) and mountain goats are occasion- ally to be seen on the nei ghboring heights. The springs are at different elevations upon the eastern slope of Sulphur Mt., the highest being 900 ft. above the Bow. All are reacned by fine roads, commanding glorious land- scapes. The more important springs have been improved by the Govern- ment, 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, en- tered by an artificial tunnel; and near by, another spring forms an open basin of warm, sulphurous water.

From here the line descends rapidly, passing tlie beautiful Wapta Lalce at Hector, and crossing the deep gorge of tlie Wapta, or Kickinghorse, River just beyond. The scenery is now sublime and al- most terrible. The line clings to the mountain-side at the left, and the val- ley on the right rapidly deepens until the river is seen as a gleaming thread a thousand feet below. Looking to the right, one of the grandest moun- tain-vallevs in the world sti-etches awajr to tne north, with great, white, glacier-bound peaks on either side. Looking ahead, the dark angular peak of Mt. Field is seen. On the left the Duomo-like head of Mt. Stephen (8,0fJ0 feet above the vallev), and the spires of Cathedral Mt. stil! further to the left, occasionally appear over the tree-tops. Soon the slope of Mt. Stephen is reached, and on its shoul- der, almost overhead, is seen a shining green glacier, 800 feet in thickness, which is slowly pressing forward and over a vertical clifif of great height. Here, too, can be seen a silver-lead mine on the m ountain side, 2,500 feet above its base. Passing through a short tunnel, and hugging the base of the mountain closely the main peak is lost to view for a few minutes; but as the train turns sharply away, it soon reappears with startling sudden- ness, and when its liighly colored dome and spires are illuminated by the sun it seems to rise as a flame shooting into the sky.

The line, which has gradually curved towards the south since crossing the summit at Stephen, runs due south from here to Lean- choil, where the Beaverfoot River comes in from the south and joins the Wapta. At the left, the liigliest peaKs of tlie Otter-tail Mts. rise abruptly to an immense height; and, lookmg south, a magnificent range of peaks extends in orderly array towards the south-east as far as the eye can reach. These are the Beaver, foot Mts. At the light Mt. Hunter pushes its huge mass forward like a wedge between the Otter-tail and Beaverfoot ranges.

The canyon rapidly deepens until, beyond Pal- liser, the mountain sides become vertical, rising straight up thousands of feet, and within an easy stone's throw from wall to wall. Down this vast chasm go the railway and the river together, the former crossing from side to side to ledges cut out of the solid rock, and twisting and turn- ing in every direction, and every minute or two plunging through projecting angles of rock which seem to close the way.

Leaving Donald the railway crosses the Columbia to the base of tlie Selkirks. A little further down, the Rockies and Sel- kirks crowding together force the river through a deep, narrow gorge, the railway clinging to the slopes high above it. Emerging from the gorge at Beaver Mmith, the most nor- therly station on the transcontinental route, the line soon turns abruptly to theleftand enters theSelkirks through the Gate of the Beaver River — a pas- sage so narrow that a felled tree serves as afoot-bridge over it — just where the river makes its final arid mad plunge down to the level of the Columbia.

Nature hab worked here on so gigantic a scale that many travellers fail to notice the extraordinary height of the spruce, Douglas fir and cedar trees, which seem to be engaged in a vain competition with tne mountains themselves. From SLr-Mile Creek station, one sees ahead, up the Beaver valley, a long line of the higher peaks of the Selkirks, en echelon, culminating in an exceedingly loftv pinnacle, named Sir Donald, with which a mo: . intimate acquaintance will be made at Glacier House. Again, from Moimtain Creek bridge, a few miles beyond, where a power- ful torrent comes down from high mountains northward, the same view is obtained, nearer and larger, and eight peaks can be counted in a grand array, the last of which is Sir Donald, 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 cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to be had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this mag- nificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The Surprise, The principal difflculty in construc- tion on this part of the line was occasioned by tne torrents, many of them in splendid cascades, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into the staep slopes along which tne railway creeps. Tiie great- est of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek — a noisy rill, flowing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped chan- nel, 300 feet below the rails — one of the loftiest railway bridges ip the world. As Bear Creek station i i ap- proached, a brief but precious gli» ipse IS caught of Hermit Mt., throu i a gap in the cliffs on the right. \his station is 1,000 feet above the Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen pene- trating the mountains southward for a long distance. The line here leaves the Beaver and turns up Bear Creek along continuing grades of 116 feet to the mile. Many of the difficulties of the railway from snow in . the winter occur between Bear Creek and the summit on the east and for a similar distance on the west rlope of the Selkirks, and these have been completely overcome by the construction, at vast expense, of sheds, or more properly tunnels, of massive timber work.

As the western base of tiie Selkirks is approached, the nar- row valleyagain becomes agorge, and the railway and river dispute the pas- sage 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 Revelstoke, the great gateway to the wonderfully rich mining camps of West Kootenay. Revelstoke— Alt. 1,475 ft. Population 2,(X)0. On the Columbia Kiver— a railway divisional point and a gateway to the great West Kootenay mining camps. The town was origin- ally located on the river-bank, a mile- and-a-half from the station, but the Sast year has seen its growth to the epot groimds. The Columbia, which has made a great detour around the northern extremity of the Selkirks, while the rail- way has come directly across, is here much larger than at Donald, from which it has fallen 1,050 ft., and 28 miles below Revelstoke expands into the Arrow lakes, along which there is much beautiful country, and where the opportunities for sport are unlimited. To reach the mining regions by this route, involves a most delightful trip on the branch line to Arrowhead and steamer down Arrow Lake to Nakusp and Robson. Nakusp is near the foot of the upper lake, where rail communication is made with Rosebery and New Den- ver , on Slocan Lake(f rom whichC. P.R. steamer Slocan runs to Slocan City at the southern extremity of the lake, where rail connection has been estab- lished with the LowerKootinay river) and with Sandon, in the very centre of the rich Slocan silver mining regi- ons.

The triangular space between the rivers opposite Kamloops, is an In- dian reservation, overlooked by St. Paul's Mouptaiu. The principal in- dustry around Kamloops is grazing, since the hills are covered with most imtritious " bunch-grass," and agri- culture and fruit raising flourish wherever irrigation is practicable, >)ut recently the countrjf has devel- oped into a promising mining region. This is the supply point for a large ranching and mineral regif)n south- ward, especially in the Nicola valleys, reached by stage lines, and for the mines being operated in the immedi- ate vicinity of the town, ores of which are largely similar to those of Trail Creek, principally gold and copper.

The rail- way now enters the canyon of the united rivers, and the scene be- comes 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, built in the early 60'b and abandoned since the openin g of the rail way , attracts atten- tion all along the Fraser and Thomp- son valleys. Usually twisting and turning about the cliffs, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an anfjry turn of the waters. Six miles below Kanaka, 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 salmon or scooping them out with dip- nets, and in sunny spots the salmon are drying on poles.

From May to July its growth was most rapid, but in July a fire, spreading from the surrounding for- est, swept away every house but one in the place, and, with this one excep- tion, every building now seen has been made since that time. The city fronts on Coal Harbor, a widening of Burrard Inlet, and 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 regards picturesqueness, natural drain- age, harbor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharve8andwarehouse8;manyhotelB, the Vancouver being a splendid struc- ture 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. It has many miles of as- phalt streets, and is lighted both by gas and by electricity. An ample sup- ply of pure water is provided by means of pipes laid under the inlet from a mountain stream opposite. There is a regular steamship ser- vice to Victoria, Nanaimo and San Francisco, to China and Japan, to Sydney, Australia via Honolulu, H.I., and Brisbane, Queensland, I Refreshment stations.

Saskatchewan and AlDorta. The lands have been carefully selected by competent surveyors, enabling the Company to offer lands of the highest grade to intendinjf purchasers at from |;i.00 to |5.00 per aero, and the purchaser may go into immedi- ate possession on payment of a little more than one-tenth of the purchase money, and interest at six per cent., which for 160 acres at 9300 per acre on nine years time would amount to 9611. OU. The first instalment would be »71.!)0, the balance payable in nine equal annual instalments of y(i(l.(KI each, the flrst of which would fall due in one yotirfrom date of purchase except in the case of an actual settler requiring the land for his own use, in which case the tlrst deferred instalment would fall duo in two years and the remaining payments annually thereafter. ThiM system of payments gives the settleian opportunity to pay for his land out of the proceeds of his crops. If a purchaser pays in full at time of purchase he will be allowed a reduction from the price equal to ten per cent, of the amount paid in excess of the usual cash instalment. The lands of the Columbia and Kootenay Uy. & Nav.
