 STATIONS— Descuiptivk Notes 
 
 Victoria — Pop. 12,000. Capital of British Columbia, situ- 
 ated at the southern extremity of Vancouver island. It 
 has a lovely site, and its mild climate is healthful. Eng- 
 lish people and manners predominate. Esquimault 
 harbor, an Imperial naval station, is only two miles 
 distant. This station. Beacon Hill park overlookin<^ 
 he straits of Fuca and the Olympic mountains, and 
 inany line drives, make the place one of the most inter- 
 estint,' in Canada. Victoria does a large business in 
 naval supplies, general merchandise, fish, coal and 
 timber. A railway extends hence to the coal and farm- 
 ing districts near Nanaimo on the western coast of the 
 
 island, which are also reached by steamers. To 
 
 Victoria come daily, or at less frequent, but regular, 
 intervals, steamers from San Francisco and all the Puget 
 Sound ports; also from the coast-landings upon both 
 sides of Vancouver island, and along the mainland of 
 British Columbia and Alaska. Once a fortnight in 
 summer steamers arrive from, and depart for, Alaska, 
 by a route especially designed for the entertainment of 
 tourists and sportsmen, and traversing a region of mag- 
 nificent scenery. The course is wholly within narrow, 
 but deep and safe, channels, affording a constant succes- 
 sion of superb scenery, excellent fishing and hunting, 
 aquaintance with the native population and other 
 
 entertaining experiences.* The steamer Yosemite 
 
 departs every night, at midnight, to Vancouver on the 
 mainland, arriving there in time to connect with the 
 Transcontinental train. This ferriage is a delightful 
 journey of eight hours through the archipelagos of the 
 Georgian gulf and the straits of Fuca. 
 
 " A pamphlet fully descriptive of this Alaskan tour, and plentifully illustrated, 
 will be sent to any address on application to the Passenger Traffic Manager, 
 Montreal, or to any general agent of the company.

 dozens of Indian canoes of all shapes and sizes, some 
 paddled by men and others by s(|uaws, with cargoes of 
 furs, fish, v(!^'etables and children, or simply steered with

 STEAMSHIPS ON THE PACIFIC OCEAN 
 
 Hteamships of the Canaduin Pacific line depart and arrive every three 
 weeks, to or from Japan and China, accordin-^ to the appended tai)Ie. Tliese 
 are fast steamers heretofore in the service of the Cunard line. Their route 
 is shorter by SOO miles than the steamers from Han Francisco. 1'he trip 
 retpures only 10 to VI days to Yokohama, and 1') to IH days to Ilonj^ Kon<,'. 
 At Yokohama, connection is made for all other ports in Japan, eastern 
 China and Corea ; and at Ilonj,' Konj,' for Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, 
 Levuka, Batavia, Calcutta, and the East Indies and Australasia ^'cnerally.

 A short time after leaving' New West- 
 minster Junction the hank of the I'rascr 
 is reached, -a hroad river tlowin;^ with 
 ^(intle current, f(n' liore it has plenty of 
 room. The i'id<^es aloni,' each shore he- 
 come loflii'r and more crowded together 
 aw the train ascends tlu! valley, until 
 tliey Inive attained tliesi<"()f moimtains, 
 and the river, contracted into a imrrow 
 l^orj^'e, tlows swift and turbulent. 'I'he 
 wa^'j4on-road seen here imd below was built by the <,'ov- 
 ernment of iiiitish ('()lund)ia, at vast expense, as an 
 avenue to the Claribou <,'old di;,'}4in},'s toward the head of 
 the Fraser, where there are now many nourishing settle- 
 ments. Hiipc and Villi' are small towns datiii}.; ba( k to 
 the },'old-di^'.L!in^' ('■ s; and are still outfitting' points t'oi- 
 ranchmen and miners. Yale is the head of steamei' mivi- 
 j^ation, and has about 1,200 popidation.

 Keefer's j The railway here winds about with the 
 
 Cisco curves of the river, in a deep canyon 
 
 Lytton ' amonjj; the mountains. " The Fraser 
 
 river is the chief watercourse of liritish Colund)ia, risinj,' 
 in the northei-n portion of the Rockies, and flowin<4 for 
 about '»()() miles before it be<^ins to l)reak through the 
 mountains on its way to the strait of (ieor^ia. it passes 
 Lytton as a full stream with rapid, turbid current, which, 
 when the Tliompsou river is added, becomes much lar^^er 
 and at times a foaming torrent. It Hows thi'ouj^h a deep 
 and rocky gorj^e, but with the slopes and bottoms better 
 timbered than the Thompson lliver valley. The scenery 
 is, if anythini,', on a j^rauder scale, and tho huf^e rocks 
 that have fallen into the water have been worn by the 
 action of the elements into forms like towers, castles, and 
 rows of bridge-piers, with the swift current eddying 
 around them. The cliffs that encompass the river rise 
 for thousands of feet, and in many places stand up like 
 solid walls, or jut out, and almost bar the passage. A 
 pair of such protruding promontories is used by the rail- 
 way to cross tlie river on a fine iron bridge [the canti- 
 lever bridge near Cinco] , but it has to tunnel one of the 
 cliffs to secure a safe route on the opposite bank. The 
 great number of mountain torrents coming in, and the 
 rocky buttresses that intervene, make the railway for 
 miles a succession of tunnels and trestle-bridges, most 
 costly to construct, and compel endless bends to get a 
 pro.cticable route at all. These obstructions narrow the 
 cha,uuel so thit the river rtins at race-horse speed. Clouds

 whicli fall in, that much {,'old has been found, and both 
 here and on the Fraser river can be seen tlie t^old hunters 
 shaking,' their 'cradles' to wasli thesandfrom the^old dust. 
 In the bottoms and on the hills alonj^ this river, until the 
 t,'ort.'t runs too far into the nujuntains, thej^ra/inf,' is tjood, 
 and there are evidences of some settlement, with cattle 
 herds and horses feeding on the 'bunch f^rass,' which 
 looks in its dried condition like S(j iruch hay. lielow this 
 part, however, tlie rocks become u>- steep to permit of 
 much habitation. A liyht bridjT ('eep down in the can- 
 yon, thrown across tlie Thompson river where several 
 roads come tof^ether out of ' hr mountains, ^ivcn a name 
 to the station of Sjx'nce'ti Bridge. . . , The hills are 
 denuded of trees, but some shrtib-timber fjrows in shel- 
 tered parts of the valleys. The river becomes a wild tor- 
 rent. The railway has a difificult route, is laid high above 
 the water, and crosses a f^reat number of lofty trestle- 
 bridf^es over the fissures in the sides of the can\'on, while 
 it has to pierce cliff after cliff through tunnels. The 
 sides of the gorge in most places are preci{)itou8, nuiking 
 it impossible to get down to the water's edge. A waggon - 
 road is cut into the preci{)ice along the top, high above 
 the stream, and here are seen a party of Indians with 
 their ponies, moving their household goods on the ani- 
 mals' backs." 
 
 At the little village of Savonan, where the 
 government's line ended and the Can- 
 adian Pacific, eastward, began, the can- 
 yons are escaped and the gorge widens 
 into the valley of Kamloops lake. This 
 beautiful sheet of water is about 20 miles 
 long and a mile or two wide. " The river 
 above it meanders in careless crooked- 
 ness through a valley that is enclosed by parallel ridges 
 of round-topped, furrowed, and water-worn hills, the bot- 
 tom-lands making a good grazing country, with many 
 herds of cattle. The lake spreads across this valley, the 
 bordering hills, however, changing to towering rocks, 
 which become higher as the mountain range is entered. 
 They bear no timber, and the sombre aspect of the cliffs, 
 with the parched brown vegetation, contrasts sharply 
 with the bright green waters. The railway has to be 
 carried on ledges and through tunnels on the southern 
 bank, the views over the lake being beautiful as the route 
 winds in and out, now piercing a tunnel and now hung 
 upon a bridge oyer some great fissure. A half dozep.

 The London Times recently described 
 this part of the road most excellently, 
 the fact tliat the writer was travelling 
 westward detracting little from the 
 value of the account in the present con- 
 nection : "The Eagle river leads us 
 down to the Great Shuswap lake, so named from the 
 Indian tribe that 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- 
 (juently extends its long narrow arms along the interven- 
 ing valleys like a huge octopus in half-a-dozen directions. 
 Tlu se arms are many miles long, and vary from a few 
 hundred yards to two or three miles in breadth, and 
 their higli. bold shores, fringed by the little narro-v 
 beach of sand and pebbles, with uheriiating buys and 
 capes, give beautiful views. . . . For fifty miles the 
 line winds in and out the bending shores, while geese 
 and ducks tly over the w.aers. and light and shadow play 
 upon the opposite banks. Tliis lake, witli its bordering 
 slojies. gives a line reminder of Scottish scenery, winding 
 shores on both sides of the long and narrow sheet of 
 water stretching far on either hand, with hiijh mountain 
 ridges for the opposite backgi-ound. The line gradually 
 runs down hill until it reaches the level of the water, 
 but here it has passed the lake, which ha? narrowed 
 into the [south branch of the Thompson river. The re- 
 mainder of the route follows the valley of tins stream, 
 which gives as pretty a sight as one would care to see of 
 a rich pastoral valley enclosed l>etween mountain ridges. 
 The Shuswap Indian reserve shows s^nne sijin? of settle- 
 ment and cultivation lx>twetMi the river and the lake on 
 an extended stretch of lowland Ixirdereti by forests. The 
 Indians of Hritish Columbia are said to make better 
 laborers than most of those on the plains, when they will 
 work. 'J'hey make excellent herdsmen and sliepherds on

 "1"he Thompson river hroadens in to the Little Shus- 
 wap lake, and the route is cut out of the hillside on its 
 8outU< in bank. Then the valley broadens, and the eye 
 that has been so accustomed to rocks and roughness and 
 the uniidiabited desolation of the mountains is ^daddened 
 by tlie sif*ht of ^'rass, fenced fields, },'rowin« crops, hay- 
 stacks, and f»ood fariidionses on the level surface, while 
 herds of cattle, sheep and horses roam over the valley 
 and bordering hills in larj^e numbers. This is a ranch- 
 ing country extendiuf^ far into the mountain valleys west 
 of the Gold ranj^e on both sides of the railway, and is 
 one of the garden spots of Britisli (Columbia. . . . 
 The people are comparatively old settlers, havinji come 
 in from the Pacific coast, and it does one's heart good, 
 after having passed the rude little cabins and huts of the 
 plainsand mountains, to see their neat ant^ trim cottages, 
 with the evidences of thrift that are all around." 
 
 Leaving the Shuswap lakes, the ascent 
 of the Gold range is begun along the 
 Eagle River pass. This is the first of 
 three ranges of the Rocky Mountain system, wliich in- 
 tervene between the interior of British Columbia and 
 the Great Plains. " The railway is laid along a succes- 
 sion of lakes and connecting streams that conduct it 
 tiirough the mountains, and by comparatively easy gradi- 
 ents it gets both up to and down from the pass. Tlie 
 region traversed is a gold-producing section, and pros- 
 pectors and placer-miners are numerous, though tliere are 
 scarcely any other settlements anywhere in the moun- 
 tains. The Gold range has some snow-capped peaks, 
 but generally they are much lower than the Rockies or 
 the Selkirks, and have more rounded tops, l)eing com- 
 posed of loose materials, re(juiring very little difiicult 
 rock cutting in budding the line. The region is a uni- 
 versal forest in the valleys and upon the mountain 
 slopes." The principal lakes in succession are Griffin, 
 Three Valley, Victor and Summit. "We go through 
 these forests to the summit of the pass, which is the 
 dividing ridge between th*^ waters seeking the Pacific 
 ocean by the Columbia riv>^- and these flowing westward 
 through the Fraser river. At the actual summit there is 
 a long and narrow lake of beautiful clear water sur- 
 rounded by high mountains. This is the beginning of 
 the Eagle river, and the railway i-oute is cut out of the 
 rocky border of the lake. Its winding shores and over- 
 hanging cliffs are very pretty. . . . Lake after lake 
 is passed, the finest being the Three Valley lake, which 
 stretches three arms into as many gorges. The lakes 
 and streams are full of fish, and thousands of trout and 
 salmon can be seen swimming in their clear waters, a 
 great temptation to the angler. It is in this attractive 
 region that we pass a little station alongside the Eagle 
 river, 2,5o3 miles from Montreal, which has been given 
 the sturdy Scotch name of Cmifjcllachie. It was here 
 that the 'last spike' in the construction of the Cana- 
 diai. Pacific Railway was driven with modest ceremony

 by Sir Donald Smith, in November, 1885." The summit 
 of Eaf»le pass is 1,800 feet above the sea. The descent 
 of the eastern slope is moderate, and leads to the Colum- 
 bia at Revelstoke, where that river is crossed upon a 
 bridge and trestle continuation one-third of a mile long. 
 
 Revelstoke — Alt. 1,600 feet. The supplying point for a 
 large area of gold-mining operations ; especially north- 
 ward toward the great bend of the river around the 
 northern extremity of the Selkirks. Half -civilized Koot- 
 enay Indians are likely to be seen here, cleverly handling 
 their strangely shaped canoes of birch-bark. The river 
 is navigable for steamers. From Revelstoke a magnifi- 
 cent view is had of the loftiest heights of the Gold range, — 
 Mt. Begbie, with its glaciers and snowlields, and Cun- 
 ningham, with its double summit, being the most con- 
 spicuous peaks. Ahead, filling the eastern horizon, are 
 seen the peaks and snow-masses of the Selkirk range, the 
 next to be crossed. 
 
 Twin Butte These stations lie on the western slope 
 
 Albert Canyon of the Selkirks, the ascent of which is 
 lllicilliwaet ! along the valley of the Illicilliwaet river, 
 
 Ross Peak Sid'g ! whose fountains are in Rogers' pass, — 
 the only depression discovered where a railway could be 
 carried across. The best views are almost always ahead, 
 especially as the summit of the mountains is appi'oached. 
 The Illicilliwaet is a stream of no great size, but exceed- 
 ingly turbulent, and the water of its upper portion is not 
 only white with foam, but thick with glacial mud, tingeing 
 it a milky, or peagreen, color. The gorge is sometimes of 
 considerable width, tilled with that remarkable forest of 
 gigantic trees for which British Columbia is famous, and 
 there are exceedingly grand ouilooks all along. Half- 
 way the train skirts the very brink of several remarkably 
 deep canyons, cut like enormous trenches through the 
 solid rock, whose sheer walls rise hundreds of feet on the 
 opposite side, too steeply to let any soil or vegetation 
 cling, buttressing the wooded crags beyond, while ranks 
 of glacial mountains are heaped against the sky. The 
 most striking of these canyons is the Albert, where a deep 
 lissure opens in the rocks and the river suddenly drops 
 down a cataract some 200 ft., flowing nearly 300 ft. below 
 the railway, a raging mass of waters compressed into a 
 stream scarcely 20 ft. wide. " This strange chasm twists 
 about, and from the train "ou have momentary glimpses 
 of the foaming waters far below. When it stops, the 
 passengers rusli out to get a better view of the abyss." 
 Just before the summit is attained, the passenger looking 
 ahead will come into view of the greatest of all the Selkirk 
 glaciers, overlooked by that stately monolith named Sir 
 Donald Peak, after SirDonald A. Smith.of Montreal. Here 
 the mountains ai-e exceedingly precipitous, and in order 
 to carry the railway up to the level of the pass it was 
 necessary to construct a series of lofty trestles and curves 
 aci'oss the heads of gorges and around the brows of prom- 
 ontories, which are known as "the loops." No engi- 
 neering anywhere upon the line seems more extraordinary 
 to most persons than this. In six miles of actual travel- 
 ling the train advances only two and a half miles, so

 for passiufi trains, and a most comfortable stoppin«^ place 
 for tourists who wish to hunt or tish or explore tlie sur- 
 rouudin*^ mountains and glaciers. The p-eat f»lacier is 
 hardly a mile away, and its forefoot is only a few hun- 
 dred feet above the level of the hotel. A good path has 
 been made to it, and its exploration is entirely practi- 
 cable, adding sensations of novelty and superiority of si/e 
 to all those features that attract Alpine climbers in 
 Switzerland. Many other pleasant paths and " im])rove- 
 ments" have been made in the neighborhood of this 
 hotel, which offers a luxurious head(|uarters for moun- 
 taineering. Game is very abundant tlu'oughout these 
 lofty ranges. Their summits are the home of the big- 
 horn sheep and the mountain goat, the latter almost un- 
 known southward of Canada. Wapiti and deer frecpuMit

 Rogers' Pass — Summit of the Selkirks, 4,300 feet in alti- 
 tude at the station. Tbe pass was named after Major 
 Wm. C. Rogers, by whose adventuious energy nuu skill 
 it was discovered in 1H83, previous to which no Liiman 
 foot had penetrated the fastnesses of this great (sencral 
 range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad 
 peaks. That on the right forms a prodigious amphi- 
 theatre, whose parapet, eight or nine thousand feet above 
 the valley, encircles vast spaces of snow and slielters 
 wide fields of perpetual ice, glaciei's beside which tliose 
 of Switzerland would be insignificant, and so near them 
 that the shining green fissures penetrating their nuiss 
 can be distinctly seen. The changing effects of light 
 and shadow on this brotherhood of peaks, of which 'I'he 
 Hei-mit is chief, are beyond statement, and never to be 
 forgotten by the fortunate num who has seen the sunset 
 or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up 
 from the valley about him at some snow-showei' trailing 
 its curtains along their crests, with pei'chance a white 
 peak or two standing serene above the harmless storm.

 round Rogers' pass are gradually lost by the <lesceiiding 
 train, Mount Carroll comes into sight on the right, 
 towering a mile and more in almost vertical height above 
 the track, bare, sheer and stupendous. Down the side 
 of one of the enormous precipices opposite, a waterfall 
 pitches several hundred feet, the head of which is the 
 little glacial stream so plainly visible at the summit, far

 is that crossing Stony ci'eek at a height of 2i)'} feet above

 Donald — Beginning of Western Division. This was the 
 heauquarters for construction in the mountains. Ciold is 
 found along this part of the C!olumbia, which rises about 
 100 miles southward, flows swiftly northward 7") miles, 
 turns sharply westward around the northern end of the 
 Selkirks, and leturns soxithward along their western base. 
 
 The Columbia springs from two snuiU lakes about 
 
 100 miles south-east of Donald. Thence it flows at a high 
 speed through a series of beautiful canyons, and pursues 
 its way around the northern end of the Selkii'k mountains. 
 The upper part of the river is navigated by a steamboat 
 making weekly trips from Golden station, and affording 
 a route of direct access over to the Findlay Creek mining 
 district and to the Kootenay farms and cattle ranches, 
 and offering to the artist and sportsman an extraordinarily 
 enjoyable trip. The railway ascends the Columbia foi" a 
 few miles and then turns into the main range of the 
 Rocky Mountains, which it crosses by following the Kick- 
 ing Horse river to its head at the base of Mt. Stephen, and 
 then descending the Bow river to the plains at Calgary.

 narrow tissiu'e in this outer ran^^e hardly periiits tlie 
 exif of the Kickinj^ Horse, but throuj^li these portals a 
 path has also been hewn to admit the railway. The pas- 
 senger should not fail to keep his eyes backward at this 
 point, since the pictures ])reKented by the Columbia valley 
 and the Selkirk mountains be; ond, changing as the 
 train winds in and out of the foothills, ought not to be 
 missed. Presently the l<jfty gates at the mouth of the 
 canyon seem to close behind him, and the traveller's 
 attention is confined to the I'iver, which comes pitching 
 down over big rocks, a roaring torrent of green and white. 
 "There is hardly room for the river and railway to make 
 their way between the enormous nnisses of cliff towering 
 far above and almost shutting out the suidight. The 
 route is cut out of the rocks, and the canyon makes such 
 sharp bends that in several cases, to get in a curve that 
 tlie trains can go around, tlie cliffs have to be tunnelled 
 and the river bridged. This is rejieatedly done, the tor- 
 rent being crossed and recrossed within brief distances. 
 The old ' tote road " is scratched out of the hill -side above, 
 and looks like a most dangerous highway, yet along it all 
 the materials had to be taken before the railway could be 
 built." A few miles fui'ther the gorge is escaped, and a 
 sharp turn to the left exposes the noble Beaverfoot range 
 ahead, and at the right, the lieaverfoot valley separating 
 it from the mountains which have just Ijeen passed. 
 Here the Kicking Horse flows for a considerable distance 
 through gravelly fiats, where the lini;, leaving its bank, 
 ascends one of the spurs and crosses Otter-tail creek upon 
 a lofty bridge, whence a magnificent landscape of snow- 
 covered mountains is visible toward the north.

 Hector, alt. 5, lt)0 ft. the summit of the mountains. Soon 
 
 JSteph'n, alt. 5,290 ft. 1 after passing the Otter-tail bridge the 
 train, at Stephen, crosses the Kicking Horse, the river 
 rushing underneath the railway thi-ough a deep and narrow 
 gulch. Looking across the valley the eye can penetrate 
 up a side-gorge far into a marvellous array of snow-laden 
 and glacier-studded peaks, the most prominent of which is 
 Mt. Field. This is one of the most memorable sights of 
 the whole journey. After passing through a short delile 
 Field is reached. This station stands at the head of the 
 only i^uiet part of the Kicking Horse, and is a pretty hotel, 
 which forms not only a meal-station for trains, but an 
 excellent stopping-place for tourists. Leaving Field the 
 final ascent of the mountains is begun along the side of 
 the deep canyon of the Kicking Horse. " The river is 
 again a wild and roaring torrent, leaping over cataracts 
 and dashing down rapids far below us, making a vast fis- 
 sure in the mountain which the railway has to get up 
 by difficult work and skilful engineering . . . The route 
 is cut out of the great cliffs high up on the sloping side of 
 the canyon, turning and twisting about in the i-oughest 
 country imaginable to put a railway through. Mountain 
 peaks are seen everywhere, with subsidiary valleys between 
 them, each sending out its rushing stream to feed the 
 swelling river that roars over the boulders far below. 
 The views along these are indescribably grand, while their

 sides are composed of j^reat and Kiuall rockn a[)pareiitly 
 strewn about by some terrific convulsion." The tremen- 
 dous peak ahead and on the right is Mt. Stephen, the 
 loftiest summit in this part of tlie Rocky Mountains, and 
 named aftei' Sir (ieorj^e Stephen, President of the Can- 
 adian Pacific. Its height is stated to be 8,240 feet above 
 the track. At its base is the little station Hector (named 
 from Dr. Hector, the hero of the "kicking horse" incident, 
 after which the pass was christened by Palliser's explor- 
 ing expedition, about 1845. Here the Kicking Horse ex- 
 pands into a lake in which the hoary mountain peaks are 
 most beautifully reflected. 
 
 The train now creeps steadily upwai-d and round the 
 base of the enormous cliff in which JNIt. Stephen ter- 
 minates on this side, and whose ledges far overhead are 
 marked by layers of unmelting snow. A few moments 
 later the castellated mass of the (.Cathedral moimtain comes 
 into view, just beyond Mt. Stephen; and between them, 
 at the right, an alcove opens, at the head of which 
 stands a semicircle of white peaks covered with snow, 
 and holding the mighty glaciers whence the Kicking 
 Horse is fed. Across the valley, toward the north and 
 west, another vision of icy peaks, rising one behind tlie 
 other in serried tiers, is inesented. Here stands the sta- 
 tion Stephen, a few hundred yards east of which is the 
 actual railway summit of the Rocky Mountains, 5,300 
 feet above the sea, where the boundary line between 
 British Columbia and Albertu is marked by a large post 
 standing on the border of a little marsh, whence the 
 waters flow right and left toward tlie Atlantic and to the 
 Pacific. At Stephen station the massive precipices and 
 clustered peaks of Mt. Stephen and Tlie Cathedral are 
 close at hand, and the great glacier of the former be- 
 comes a prominent and beautiful object in the scene. 
 The valley at the left is tilled with a dense forest of great 
 evergreen ti'ees, through which the young Kicking Horse 
 rushes fi-om cataract to cataract down to the westward. 
 
 Laggan, alt. 4,i>30 ft. The last descent of the eastern 
 
 Eldon, alt. 4,720 ft, slope of the mountains is now 
 
 Castle M'n, alt. 4,470 ft. ! begun. A rivulet leads the way 
 Cascade i in a succession of beautiful cas- 
 
 cades down toward the Bow river, which is reached a 
 few miles this side of Laggan. For a long time the great 
 peaks of the summit remain in view, taking on new and 
 picturescjue forms as the point of view changes with the 
 varying curves of the road. The Bow river, when first 
 seen, is a steep, swift stream of peagreen water flowing 
 through a low forest for several miles. Just beyond it on 
 the left, where the railway makes a sharp turn to the 
 right, Castle mountain appears on the opposite side of the 
 stream, attracting the attention of everyone by its bright 
 color, broken outlines and bold precipices, down which 
 feathery cascades are falling. When it has been left 
 behind there comes into view off toward the north a great 
 glacier, which is the last one to be seen by the eastward 
 traveller. It is a broad crescent-shaped river of ice, 
 bearing all the characteristics of the Swiss glaciers, the 
 further end conceaUxl behind the lofty yellow clififs that 
 hem it ia. You seem to be almost on a level with it, and

 at the distance of liardly half-a-dozen miles ; but it is 
 fully 1,B00 feet above you, a round dozen of miles away, 
 and almost inaccessible by reason of the ravines, rocks 
 and forest which intervene. Down its back flows a 
 meanderinj^ stream of blue water. This falls over the 
 front in -r tine waterfall, and conies to us in a creek as 
 white as milk, which pours into the ]iow. The larj^e 
 river itself drains from the f^lacier hij^her up, and its 
 stream at this heij»lit is pale with that ))eculiar chalky 
 tint which glacier meltin<,'s have. Lupijan and Siln-r City 
 are considerable settlements in the valley of the Bow, 
 near Castle mountain, and in front of them stand Mount 
 Lefroy and a ranj^e of magniiicent promontories, whose 
 bases are tureen with forest, but whose toi)most ledjies rise 
 to the rejijion of perpetual snow and present pictures hardly 
 inferior to any ou the westei'n side of the range. 
 
 Banff — Station for the National Park, and the Hot Springs; 
 of Banff — a medicinal wateiing-place and pleasure-resort. 
 This pai'k is a ti'act of many square miles, embracing 
 every variety of scenery, cliarmiiig aud wonderful, wliicli 
 the government has already made accessiV)le by many 
 carriage-roads and bridle-paths. In the rivers aud lakes 
 trout are plentiful and of a size unheard of elsewhere, 
 and in the hills and forests roam deer, mountain sheep, 
 and goats. The general altitude of the valley is about 
 4,500 feet. Koads have been built northward to Devil's 
 lake, an extremely deep sheet of water, walled in by 
 tremendous cliffs, and overlooked by that remarkable 
 peak. Devil's Head, which forms a well-knowu land- 
 mark, and is visible far out upon the plains. The lish- 
 ing here is unrivalled, and the scenery gi'and. In the 
 Bow river, near Banff station, are some beautiful falls 
 and rapids, dropping the river (»0 feet in the course of a 
 few rods. Cottages and small hotels now exist ; but the 
 railway is building a very large and elegant hotel, with 
 perfect arrangements for bathing in the spring water, 
 and for all sorts of recreation. 
 
 Canmore — Alt. 4,230 ft. Divisional point. The three lofty 
 peaks on the right, seen as the station is approached, are 
 the Three Sisters. On a hill behind the station stands a 
 group of isolated monumental rocks (conglomerate) curi- 
 ously weatheretl out of the softer soil, and widely 
 renowned. Here the pass broadens out, and, at a greater 
 distance, we see, perhaps to better advantage, the enor- 
 mous masses of scarred rock that rise on each side and 
 tower above one another. 
 
 |The Gap — A few miles below Canmore the Bow river issues 
 from the hills through a confined portal called The Gap. 
 A remarkable contrast in appearance will be noticed 
 between the two ranges that bound this long lateral valley, 
 stretching north and south from Canmore t^ The 
 Gap between the main range and its outer line of foot- 
 hills. On the left are fantastically broken and castellated 
 heights ; on the right, massive snow-laden promontories, 
 rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves 
 in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie 
 engulfed. Mount t!ascade is perhajjs one of the most 
 remarkable of these peaks. Approaching its perpendicu-

 wall, every elevation having some angular and abrui)t

 The I'anching country extends north and 
 south to the Saskatchewan, and all these 
 stations are shipping points for cattle. 
 Here, formerly, roamed the buffalo, and 
 these plains were a bloody borderland 
 between lilackfeet and Crees. At 
 Gleichen and Tilley are successful ex- 
 perimental farms of the C P. R. ; and 
 from Gleichen the last view of the Rocky 
 Mountains is obtained. At Lniujevin, 
 
 the last station in Alberta, are wells of natural gas. At 
 
 lUncell AssiNiiJoiA is entered. 
 
 Medicine Hat— Pop. 700. At the crossing of the South 
 Saskatchewan (steel bridge, 1,010 ft. long). Coal and iron 
 are abundant in the neighboi'hood ; water, inexhaustible; 
 wood, plentiful in Cypress hills, 36 miles southward, and 
 climate most healthful. An active business place sup- 
 plying cattle-ranches and collieries. Divisional point, and 
 repairing shops of the railway. 
 
 Dunmore — Starting-point of the Northwest Coal ct Navi- 
 gation (Company's railway westward up the Belly river 
 to Lethbridge and Fort McLeod. At Lcfhhridife (109 n\.) 
 are extensive mines of soft coal, and a large colliery vil- 
 lage. Fort McLeod is a Inll-station of the Mounted Police, 
 and the centre of very valuable cattle interests. Bitum- 
 inous coal is mined near Dunmore.

 Port Arthur, known as Prince Arthur's Landinf^, is on the 
 shore of Thunder bay, and was first settled about 1K()7. 
 1'he town is prettily situated overlooking,' the bay, which 
 is a tine oj.en harbor, and has in view the (hirk cliffs of 
 'i'liunder (-ape and I'ie island. Since the openiuj,' of the 
 Jjake Superior section of the railway, it has assumed 
 particular importance as the connectinj^ point between 
 the railway system of the Northwest and the inland 
 water- route of Canada via the ^reat lakes. E.xtensive 
 docks have lately been erected, to^'ether with enormous 
 docks and elevators for {,'rain and terminal waiehouses 
 and stations. There is much |)retty scenei'y in the hills 
 back of the town, while the bay and its islands are 
 adapted to yachtinj^ and picnic excursions. A remark- 
 able variety of minerals occurs; in the neif^hborhood, and 
 this town is the headquarters of extensive mininii interests 
 for the production of both f^old and silver. Here come 
 the steamers of the Canadian Pacific line from Owen 
 Sound, landin<4 their passenj^ers and freight on the same 
 wharf which bears the station ; while most other Lake 
 Superior boats call here, in passin^^, atfordin<{ opportunities 
 for voyaf.;in}4 to ports around the whole circuit of the lake.

 From Lake Nipissiu}^ the railway Uv? 
 strikes eastward toward the Ottawa 
 river. At Callander the old ^'overnnient 
 
 lines, which were taken by the Company, 
 terminated, and here the construction of 
 the Canadian Pacific Railway, westward, 
 bef^an in I884. As Mattawa, where the 
 Ottawa river is reached, is approached, 
 the land becomes roiij^h and strewn with 
 ledf^es and boulders, which condition 
 continues for some distance further ; the 
 valley and borders of the lakes are till- 
 able and fertile, but farmers are few. 
 Mattawa has 1,000 pop., and is the prin- 
 cipal distributinji; point for lumberinj^ 
 supplies. The Laurentian hills now ap- 
 pear on the opposite bank of the Ottawa, 
 and many rapids and romantic brooks, 
 sugf^estinj? f^ood fishing, please the eye. 
 G uides for hunting trips can be got here. 
 This region is cultivated in isolated 
 spots, especially for barley and hay ; 
 but chieriy devoted to timber cutting 
 and sawmills, for which the fre<juent 
 rapids of the river give excellent water- 
 power. The largest villages are I'cm- 
 hrokf (pop. 4,000) on the liistoric Allu- 
 mette lake at the entrance of Muskrat 
 river ; and Jleufrcir, a brisk place, poj). 
 2,000, at the terminus of the Kingston (\L' 
 Pembroke ll'y. At Arniirior are marble 
 (juarries. Opportunities for sport both with gun and rod 
 •are excellent. The fishing is best in the nuiny snnill 
 lakes and in the Ottawa, where maskinonge, pickerel, 
 bass, whitefish aiul perch are common. l''rom Arn[)rior

 of the Ottawa.

 Ottawa— Pop. 40,000. The capital of the Dominion, where 
 the railway is picturesquely situated at the junction of 
 the Rideau river with the Ottawa. Navigation is inter- 
 rupted here by the falls of the Chaudiere, whose i-emark- 
 able cataracts are seen in crossing the rivers. This 
 gigantic water-power is utilized, and some of the largest 
 lumber manufactories in the Dominion are here visible 
 from the bridge ; and also the timber-slides, by which the 
 lumber from the upper river passes down without damage 
 into the navigable water below. Close to the city are the 
 pretty Rideau falls. The city itself stands upon high

 Immediately upon leaving the station at 
 Ottawa, the train crosses the Ottawa 
 river on the bridge thrown across the 
 Chaudiere falls, and passes through the 
 lumber-yards of Hull, which extend up 
 and down the bank of the river for a 
 long distance opposite Ottawa. The 
 traveller has now entered the province of 
 QrEHEC, and will follow the Ottawa river 
 more or less closely most of the way to 
 Montreal. The region l)etween Hull and 
 C'alumet is a farming and dairying country, occupying 
 the broad ancient valley of the river, upon one f)f whose 
 terraces the line is laid. Just before reaching liuckinij- 
 ham, Kiviere du Lievres is crossed at a point where its 
 magnittcent cataracts of tan-colored water come down 
 over broken ledges in masses of white and red foam, 
 forming one of the prettiest pictures anywhere to be seen. 
 This grand water-power has been utilized to so good })ur- 
 pose that Buckingham is a large and growing lumber- 
 making place. Six miles up this river are well-known 
 phosphate naines, reached by a spur track. Mica mines 
 and iron ore, building-stone and good clays are scattered 
 through the hills northward. From Pointe au Chene to 
 Calumet the windings of the river are closely followed 
 by the railway, which stands at a height above the 
 Ottawa sufficient to give a fine view of its beautiful cui'rent. 
 The opposite banks are high and wide. Pictures<pje farm 
 houses stand at frequent intervals, and here and there the 
 spire and clustered roofs of some village on the oppo- 
 site shore diversify the pleasant picture. Excellent 
 shooting in spring along the rivers, and in the fall in the 
 hill regions on the left of the track, can always be had, 
 while the many tributaries that come down from the 
 hills afford tine fishing, specially near Calumet. 
 
 t^Calumet. The hills near hei'e are rugged, and afford good 
 shooting and trout-fishing. Charming views of the 
 rapids of the Ottawa and Calumet rivers are gained from 
 their summits. 
 
 Grenvllio I The broad fertile plain of the Ottawa, 
 
 St. Phillipe ' utilized as a dairying and quarrying 
 
 region, and occupied by a population largely English- 
 speaking. The river itself is too fai' to the southward 
 to be seen from the line, which is now directed straight 
 toward Montreal.

 Ste. Rose — A pleasant river-suburb of Montreal, much re- 
 sorted to by summer visitors and pic-nic parties. 
 
 St. Martin's Jc. — Passengers for Quebec change cars. 
 
 Sault aux Recollets — Crossing of Riviere des Praiiies, com- 
 monly called Back river. The name of the village is de- 
 rived from an incident in 1626, when a Recollet father 
 was drowned in the rapjds seen on the left. 
 
 Mile End As Mile End is approached. Mount 
 
 Hochelaga Royal, in the rear of Montreal, appears 
 
 at the right, and as it is gradually left behind the city 
 itself comes into view beyond. Across a tree-dotted and 
 richly cultivated suburban plain the train steadily swings 
 to the right, and at Hochchufa fairly enters the city, the 
 spires and higher parts of which show to great advantage 
 in the distance. This was the site of the aboriginal 
 Indian village discovered by the first European visitors 
 to this locality. Extensive wharves, stock-yards and 
 factories now replace the aboriginal huts. A mile further 
 along the margin of the St. Lawrence river, past a con- 
 tinuous line of wharves, shipping and warehouses, 
 brings the traveller to his destination. 
 
 Montreal — Pop. (with suburbs) 2r)0,000. The city stands 
 upon an island formed by mouths of the Ottawa. 
 It was visited in 1()34 by Jacques Cartier, who found the 
 Indian village of Hochelaga on its site, at the base of 
 Mount Royal, now the city's park. A trading post and 
 fort was established here a century later, called Ville 
 Marie, and was the last point yielded by the French in 
 1763. Settlements accumulated about this post, and a 
 city rapidly grew up ; about three-fourths of the pojiula- 
 tion at present are of French descent. The building of 
 the canal about the Lachine rapids, just above the city, 
 and the growth of railways and commerce, caused Mon- 
 treal to increase, until it became the metropolis of the 
 Dominion. Here resided the governors of the great fur 
 companies, and the fur trade has always occupied a promi- 
 nent place in the city's commerce. In summer, great 
 numbers of steamships and sailing vessels ascend to 
 Montreal, which is one of the best harbors, as well as most 
 thoroughly furnished warehouse-ports, in the world. 
 The city is built almost entirely of stone, possesses im- 
 posing public buildings, churches and institutions, and 
 many handsome residences, and is pi'ovided with superior 
 hotels. Its suburbs are quaint and beautiful, and the 
 whole neighborhood abounds in objects of interest. 
 Steamships of the Allan, Beaver and other lines run 
 to Europe ; and steamers connect Montreal with all the 
 river and lake towns. This is the headquarters and

 Quebec — Pop. 75,000. This old city occupies the base 
 and summit of a lofty crag projecting into the St. 
 Lawrence. Jacques Cartier, the first European who 
 sailed into the river (1534), spent a winter at the base of 
 the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established 
 here a headquarters for trading. A few years later the 
 headland was fortified, and, as the settlement grew, the 
 fortifications were enlarged until Quebec became the 
 stronghold of Canada, remaining so until captured by the 
 
 English, under Wolfe, in 1759. Nocity in America isso 
 
 grandly situated, or offei's views from its higher points so 
 diversified and lovely. In the " upper town," on the 
 highlands, the public buildings, churches, best business 
 blocks, hotels and schools are found, and here tlie English 
 and modern part of the town has outgrown its antece- 
 dents. The " lower town," near the water, abounds in 
 irregular, narrow streets, quaint old houses, and is the 
 
 commercial quarter of the town. The commerce of 
 
 Quebec began with the fur trade, and this remains an 
 important element. Enormous transactions in lumber 
 go on here annually. The whole lower valley of the St. 
 Lawrence and the northern lumbering regions draw their 
 
 merchandise from this centre. The suburbs of Quebec 
 
 are remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and op- 
 
 l^ortunities for sport, especially fishing. The railways 
 
 centreing here, other than the Canadian Pacific, are the 
 Grand Trunk, the Intercolonial, the Quebec Central, and 
 the Quebec it Lake St. John. Transatlantic steamers 
 of the Allan, Beaver, etc., lines land here in summer, 
 and local steamers depart for all parts of the St. Law- 
 rence and Saguenay rivers. Extensive docks, warehouses, 
 etc., incidental to the terminal facilities of the Canadian 
 Pacific Railway, will be noticed. The railway station is 
 at the wharf, where assistance will be given by the 
 C'onipany's agents to passengers intending to sail upon 
 outgoing steamers.

 in speed, safety and comfort all other steamers on tlie great lakes. They 
 each have a gross measurement of nearly I, MOO tons, are 270 feet in length, 
 and complete in every detail. Their furnishing is etpial in luxury to that of 
 the ocean steamers, and their table compares favorably with that of the 
 leading hotels of our large cities. They are lighted throughout by elec-

 Port Arthur — See page 20. The voyage is straight out of 
 Tliunder bay, between tlie frowning headland of Thunder 
 cape and the rocky shores of Pie island into the breadth 
 of Lake Superior. Isle Royal lies, hilly and forested, on 
 the right, while near the north shore, away towards the 
 left, can be seen the cluster of deserted mining buildings 
 on Silver islet. In the morning the eastern or Algoma 
 shore of the lake is visible ahead on the left, and White- 
 fish point is soon passed in close proximity on the right. 
 The lake then narrows into Whitetish bay, whose outlet 
 is through the St. Mary's river. 
 
 Sault Ste. Marie — This is on the Michigan side, and has 
 always been an important place to the aborigines, early 
 traders and modern commerce. All vessels must stop 
 here to pass through the canal by which the falls, or 
 " Sault Ste. Marie,'' are avoided. " The first canal was 
 built in lMi)3-.}, . .Since then a new canal has been made. 
 It is 1 m. long, with one lock T)!") ft. in length, admitting 
 vessels of 1(5 ft. draught, and overcoming a rise of IH ft. 
 The width of the canal varies fron. lOS to 270 ft. The 
 old canal has two locks, of HoO ft. each. Both are on the 
 
 United States side." A garrison of U.S. troops has 
 
 enabled a lai'ge and busy village to grow up. There is a 
 smaller village on the Canadian side. The fishing liere is 
 excellent, and a favorite local sport is running the rapids 
 in boats guided by Indians. Here will soon be built the 
 bridge connecting the Algonui branch of the Can. Pac. 
 Ry. with United States railways running westward to 
 
 St. Paul. From Sault Ste. Marie the steamer descends 
 
 the St. Mary's rivei- and Detour channel, l^etween lovely 
 shores and among innumerable islands, and emerges into 
 Lake Huron, which is crossed during the night. Morning 
 discloses the cliffs and forests of " the peninsula," between 
 Lake Huron and Georgian bay, on the right ; and the 
 shores rapidly contract into the bay of Owen Sound.

 Parkdale— Eastern suburb of Toronto. 
 
 Toronto— Pop. (with subinbs) 110,000. This point 
 was one of the earliest French fortifications 
 against the Indians, and afterwards a trading 
 post and naval station of importance to the 
 English. It is the capital of Ontario, its people 
 are almost wholly English-speaking, and it is 
 mainly devoted to manufacturing and mercantile 
 pursuits. Many railways centre here, and its 
 lake commerce is considerable. A line of boats 
 makes two trips a day to Niagara Falls, and 
 other lines daily trips east and west, down the 
 St. Lawrence and to the upper lakes. In addi- 
 tion to forming the central point for the various 
 Ontario lines of the Canadian Pacific, Toronto is 
 reached by the Grand Trunk Ry., and is con- 
 nected by the Northern ct North -Western lly. 
 ■ with the agricultural and lake regions of northern 
 Ontario, reaching the Canadian Pacific at North 
 Bay. The city is laid out in streets crossing at 
 right angles ; is excellently built ; and possesses 
 many interesting features to the tourist. It con- 
 siders itself the most enterprising community in 
 eastern Canada, but is not wholly given over to 
 rommercial ambition. The University of Toronto, 
 and several lesser educational institutions, have a 
 wide reputation ; the city is well supplied with 
 churches ; and possesses several large and valu- 
 able libraries and collections of pictures. Its 
 parks and suburbs are beautiful, and opportunities 
 for pleasure-taking in the harbor and surrounding 
 hills are many.

 country begins to be superseded by 
 a more thinly settled, wooded and 
 rocky region, whose hills, rivers 
 and lakes are inviting to the tourist
