This old 2.15 3053 city occupies the base ami sunnuit of p.m. a lofty ciag projecting into the St. week Lawrence. Jac(iues Caitier, the first [ days European who sailed into the river, spent the winter of 1535 at the base of the cliffs, and French fur companies soon after established here 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 l)y the English under Wolfe, in 1759. No other city in America is so prandly 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 Dufferni 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 drav/ their merchandise from this centre. The surrounding country is remarkably interesting in scenery, history, and opportunities for sport. The railways reaching the city are the Canadian Pacific and Quebec & Ijake St. John, the latter extending to Lake St.John, Chicou- timi, and the headwaters of the Saguenay. To Levis on the oppo- sito 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. t Additional trains leave Quebec for Montreal at 9.00 a.m. (week days only), and 11.00 p.m. daily, Sunday included, arrivinsr Monfreal at 3.35 p m. and O.SO %.m.

A remarkable con- trast between the langes ahead is noticeable. On the right are fan- tastically broken and castellated heights ; on the left, massive snow- laden promontories, rising thousands of feet, penetrated by enormous alcoves in which haze and shadow of gorgeous coloring lie engulfed. The jaggedness of proHle ol)served from the plains is now explained. These mountains are tremendous uplifts of stratified rocks, of the Devonian and Carl)oniferous ages, which have been broken out of the crust of the earth slowly heaved aloft. Some sections miles and miles in l)readth, 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 alope towards the east) and lie in a steeply slanting position ; still other sections are bent and crumpled under prodigious side- pressure, wliile 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 tlie cliffs, by the ledges that hold the snow after it has dis- appeared elsewhere, or by long lines of trees, which there alone can main- tain a footiiold ; and this peculiarity is one of the most striking and admir- able features of the scenery. Many ranges of prodigious monntains like these must be traversed before the Pacific Coast is reached, and grandeur and i)eauty will crowd upon the atten- tion without ceasing, as the train speeds through gorge and over moun- tain, giving here a vast outlook, and tiiere an interior glimpse, then exchanging it for a new one with the suddenness of a kaleidoscope.

Field -Alt. 4,050 ft. At Field is a charm- ing chalet hotel managed by the railway company — the Mt. Stei)hen House— not far from the base of Mt. Stephen and facing Mt. Field. This is a favorite stopping place for tourists ; excellent fly fishing for trout in a pretty lake near by. Looking down the valley from the Hotel, the Otter- tail Mts. are seen on the left, and the Van Home range on the right. The two most prominent peaks of the latter are Mts.

Here the time goes back one hour, to conform with the Pacific standard. Leaving Donald the railway crosses the Columbia to the base of the 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.

Nature has 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 he engaged in a vain competition with the mountains themselves. From SLv-MUe 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 piiniacle, named Sir Donald, with which a more intimate acquaintance will be made at Glacier House. Again, from Mountain 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, spainiing a foaming cascade, whence one of the most beautiful prospects of the whole journey is to r)e had. So impressed were the builders with the charm of this mag- nificent picture of mountains, that they named the spot The SurpriKe. The pi'incipal difiticulty in construc- tion on this part of the line was occasioned by the torrents, many of them in splendid cascades, which come down through narrow gorges cut deeply into the steep slopes along which the railway creeps. The great- est of all these bridges crosses Stony Creek— a noisy rill, flf)wing in the bottom of a narrow, V-shaped chan- nel, .SOO feet below the rails— one of the loftiest railway bridges in the world. As Bear Creek station is ap- proached, a brief btxt precious glimpse IS caught of Hermit Mt., throiigh a gap in the cliffs on the right. This station is 1,(KX) feet above tlie Beaver, whose upper valley can be seen pene- trating the mountains southward for a long distance. The line here leaves the Beaver and tiuns up Bear Creek along continuing grades of 116 feet to the mile. M,.ny of the difflctilties 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 slope 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. These are built of heavy squared cedar timber, dove - tailed and bolted together, backed with rock, and fitted into the f Flag Station.

Beyond Stony Creelt bridge, tlie gorge of Bear Creek is compressed into a vast ravine be- tween Mt. Macdonald on 'he left and The Hermit on tlie right, forming a narrow poi-tal to the amphitheatre of Rogers' Pass, at the summit. The cowled figure of a man, with his dog, on tlie edge of one of tlie crags shapes itself out of tli(> rocks, and gives tlie name of Hermit to the mountain. The way is between enormousi precipices. Mt. Macdonald towers a mile and a quarter above the railway in almost vertical height. Its base is but a stone's-throw distant, and it is so sheer, so baie and stupendous, and yet so near, that one is overawed by a sense of immensity and mighty grandeur. This is the climax of mountain scenery. In passing before the face of this gigantic precipice, tiie line clings to tiie base of Hermit Mt., and, as the station at Rogers' Pass is neared, its clustered spires appear, fa':'ing tliose of Mt. Macdonaki, and nearly as liigh. These two matchless mountains were once apparently united, but ages ago some terrific convulsion of nature has split them asunder, leaving barely room for the railway. Rogers' Pass— Alt. 4,275 ft. This pass was named after Maj. A. B. Rogers, by whose adventurous energy it was discovered in 188!^, previous to which no hviman foot had penetrated to the summit of this great central range. The pass lies between two lines of huge snow-clad peaks. That on the north forms a prodigi lus amphi- theatre, under whose pa anet, seven or eight thousand feet anove the valley, half-a-dozen glaciers may be seen at once, and so near that their shining green fissures are distinctly visible. The changing effects of light and shadow on this brother- hood of peaks, of whicli The Hermit and Macdonald are the chiefs, can never be forgotten by the fortunate traveller who has seen the sunset or sunrise tinting their battlements, or has looked up from the green valley at a snow-stxirm trailing its curtain along their crests with perchance a white peak or two standing serene above the harmless cloud. On the south stretches the line of peaks con- necting Macdonald with Sir Donald, the rear slopes of which were seen in ascending the Beaver.

Leaving thesummil , and curving to theleft, the line follows the slope of the sununit peaks, of which Sir Donald is the chief. At the right is the deep valley of the Illicilliwaet, which makes its way westward by a devious course among numberless hoary-headed mountain monarchs. Far below and for many miles away, can be traced the railway, seeking the bottom of the valley by a series of extraordinary curves, doubling upon itself again and a^ain. Directly ahead is the Great Glacier of the Selkirks, Passing a long snow shed (not through it, for an outer track is piovided, that the summer scenery may not be lost) a sharp curve brings the train in front of the Great Glacier, which is now very near, at the left— a vast plateau of gleaming ice extending as far as the eye can reach, as large, it is said as all those of Switzerland combined.

Sir Donald rises a naked and abrupt pyramid, to a height of more than a mile and a half above the railway.

Far- ther to the left, looking from the hotel, are two or three sharp peaks, second only to Sir Donald.

Looking back, the railway is seen cutting two long gashes, one above the other, on the mountain-slope, and farther to the left, and high above the long snow- shed the summit range, near Rogers' Pass is yet visible, with Sir Donald overlooking all.

Thompson Siding Gladwin Bindge the old waggon road up this valley to theCariboo gold country crosses the river ; and the railway crosses here the mouth of the Nicola River, whose valley southward is an impor- tant grazing and ranching region. Below this point the scenery becomes very striking and peculiar. The train runs upon a sinuous ledge cut out of the bare hills on the irregular south side of the stream, where the heaa- lands are penetrated by tunnels, and the ravines spanned by lofty bridges; and the Thompson, in the purity of a trout brook, whirls down its winding torrent path as green as an emeralcL Sometimes the banks are rounded cream-white slopes ; next, cliffs of richest yellow, streaked and dashed with maroon, jut out ; then masses of solid rust-red earth, suddenly fol- lowed by an olive green grass slope or some white exposure. vVith this fantastic color, to which the brilliant emerald river opposes a striking contrast, and over which bends a aky of deepest violet, there is the additional interest of great height and breadth of prospect, and a constantly changing grotesqueness of form, caused by the wearing down of rocks of unequal hardness, by water and wind, into towers and monuments, goblins and griffins. The strange forms and ^audy hues of the rocks and scantily herbaged terraces impress themselves most strongly on the memory. Five miles beyond Drynoch, Nicomen, a little mining town is seen, and on the oppo- site bank of the river gold was first discovered in British Columbia, in 1857. The mountains now draw together again, and the railway winds along their face hundreds of feet above tne struggling river. This is the Thompson Canyon. The gorge rapidly narrows and deepens, and the scenery becomes wild beyond description. The frowning cliffs opposite are mottled and streaked in many striking colors, and now and then through breaks in the high es- carpment, snowy peaks are seen glist- ening above the clouds.

The railway now enters the canyon of the united rivers, and the scene becomes even wilder than before. Six miles below Lytton the train crosses the Fraser by a steel cantilever bridge, high above the water, plunges into a tunnel and shortly emerges at Cisco. The line now follows the right-hand aide 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 openingof the rail way, attracts atten- tion all along the Fraser and Thomp- son vallevs. Usually twisting and turning aoout the cliffs, it sometimes ventures down to the river's side, whence it is quickly driven by an angry turn of the waters. Six miles below Oisco, 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 seemmgly 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 edfge, spearing salmon or scooping them out with dip- nets, and in sunny spots the salmon are drying on poles. Chinamen are seen on the occasional sand or gravel bars washing for gold; and irragular Indian farms or villages, with their quaint and barbarously decorated graveyards.alternate with the groups of huts of the Chinese.

Across the river from Hope Station is the village of the same name— a mining town and trading-post, whence trails lead over the mountains in different direc- tions. Southwestward may be seen Hope Peaks, where great bodies of silver oi-e are exposed, and only awaiting suitable fuel to be worked profitably. Below Hope is the bot- tomless Devil's Lake. The canyon widens out, and is soon succeeded hj a broad, level valley with rich soil and heavy timber. The rude Indian farms give place to broad, well-culti vated fields, which become more and more frequent, and vegetation of all kinds rapidly increases in luxuriance as the Pacific is approached.

Until May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. 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 Buriard 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 picturestjueness, natural drain- age, haroor facilities and commercial advantages. It has already extensive wharve8andwarehouse8;many hotels, the Vancouver being asplendidstruc- ture and handsomely appointed ; churches, .schools, etc. It has many buildings of brick and granite, and some or its private residences would do credit to cities of a century's growth.
