A Trip 119 British Colombia.
NEW tVEt.TJ11NZlTER,
RRITIIl.II Cul.ualuIA, July 30,'88.
elir editor of 14e ,keta Era.
Doane 8IR,—Accordingg to promise.
I send you a summarized account of
my trip to British Columbia. We
started
from Toronto on July 6th,
about 11 p m., and reached our des-
tination about 2 p.w. on the Friday
of the following week, laying off a
day, which makes the journey five
days' travelling from Toronto. In
order that you may understand the
term 'we,' I might mention here that
.I bad an invalid youth under my
charge, wit) was going out for the
beuefillof his health. The trip on the
whole was 'quite pleasant, and sur-
passed my expectations.
Upon awakening up on Saturday
morning, we found the atmosphere
pretty cool, and as we bad reached
the districts the gray rocks began
looming up on each aide of the track,
showing in the dim light like patches
of snow; We passed many beautiful
little lakes -and sheets of water, which
seemed to swarm .with water fowl.
These little lakes, I suppose,' would
be a hunter's Paradise. The country
through which we passed, after leav-
ing Bracebridge, till we got to the
verge of Manitoba, seems a veritable
wilderness, abounding in rocks and
slender spruce trees, many of the let-
ter being dead, trona the effects of
bush fires, and • presenting the ap-
peMance of a hop yard in spring.
Settlers seem very scarce, and the
district is totally unfitted for agricul-
ture, but is said to be rich in mineral
wealth. The scenery through this
rocky wilderness, in many places, is
very beautiful, and no artist with any
soul could fail to find plenty of ma-
terial, in the line of pretty views, for
his canvas. Some of the streams are
as clear as crystal, and flow rapidly
over the stones and rocky beds, mak-
ing one feel as though .they would
like to go down to the brink and
drink most heartily. As we ap-
proached Port Arthur the rocks be-
gan to disappear, arirl the country
became more flat and level. Port
Arthur seems to be a very thriving'
place, aced has one of the largest
grain elevators inn the Northwest.
The breakwater, to protect the har-
bor, is one of the greatest achieve-
ments of engineering skill in the
world. It was Sunday when we
passed through Port Arthur, and
everyone seemed to be well-to-do and
tidy. It was a noticeable fact that all
along the Rae the people seemed
young, strong; healthy and well-to-
do, being quite as fashionably dressed
as Eastern people. The prairies of
Manitoba, at first seem very pleasing
to the eye, being as- level in many
places as a city lawn, and this -level
stretch reaching for miles, as far as
the eye can, see. They seem to be
limitless in extent, and void ot trees.
In many places large districts are
cultivated, but they grow distressing•
ly monotonous, the only variation
over the lonely waste being the sta•
tions along the line, which divert the
eye a little, and for an instant makes
one forget the monotonous prairie,
The trip through the Rocky ante
• Selkirk Mountains surpasses anything
I A''Iave ever witnessed. .Words are
inadequate to express the beauty and
variety of scenery. Those towering
peaks, many being crowned with
snow, rise so high that theypierce
the clouds, and in many places the
clouds are below the peaks. L'pon
one in particular there is a crown re-
sembling an old castle, with battle-
ments and- windows, and an appa-
rently long row of offices and build-
ings in the rear. There seems to be
grandeur and majesty about these
mountains that speaks of a power
most mighty, and who gazing upon
them could for a moment doubt the
existence of the great Creator of all
things. The rivers and mountain
torrents are very grand. The railway
runs along the edge of several of
them, and on one side, towering bun-
• 'dredsof feet above, is the mighty
mountain, while on the otber, in
many places below, is the rushing
mountain stream. In some places
the rivers" are -.narrow, and rush be-
tween the ledges of rock on either
side with terrific force, tumbling and
leaping and throwing up their glassy
green waters into foam.. There 'are
some beautiful cascades, and the wa-
ters pours over the mountain sides,
in some places having a fall perpen-
dicularly of 20 or 30 feet often. Al-
bert canyon is Ti wonderful sight; the
river is nearly 300 feet below the rail -
Way,
way, and _.compassed in a boiling
flume scarcely twenty feet wide. The
train stops here for a few moments,
for the passengers to take in the won-
derful view. We saw one buffalo, one
wild horse, one hare, t.vo deer and
one prairie dog, as we passed through
the mountains.
New Westminster is quite an im-
portant town, built on the side of a
hill; each street running east and
west being one above another. It is
bard work for thole whaare not ac-
customed to hill climbing, and my
invalid charge finds it quite trying to
get up from one street to another.
However, -I have got him here in
good condition, and I think he is
quite improved. The majority of the
people are from the East, There are
troops of Chinamen, who are engaged
in<'every conceivable occupation. --
They are even substituted in the
place of nurse girls. Nearly every
one has a Chinese cook. Two large
boats, loaded With lumber, are leaving
for Australia, and steamers run be-
tween Victoria and here. There are
several belonging here. Salmon fish-
ing by the Indians is carried on to a
great extent on the Fraser. The
i+iver is large, and here is affected by
the tide, more or less.
. 1 expect to visit the canneries soon,
and have a view ot how canned sal•
mon is prepared. Fearing I have
taken up too much of your valuable
already, I will close with best wishes
for your enterprising paper. Yours,
respectfully„ 111rss M. J. Yro,

NEW HOME TREATMENT FOR
THE CURE OF CATARRH, CAT-
ARR.RAllL DEAFNESS AND
VAX FUER.
The miscreecoie has proved , that these
disesaes are contagruus, and that they are
due to the presence ref living parasites in
the interlining int arl•rane of the upper air
passage* and eustut•htan tubes. The eitti-
nent scientists, Tyndall, Huxley and Bea-
le endorse this. and the authorities cannot
be disputed. The regular Method of treat-
ing these diseases hen been to apply an ir-
ritant remedy weekly, and even daily,thus
keeping the delicate membr ne in a con-
stant state of irration, allowing it no chan-
ce to heal, and aa a natural consequence of
such treatment not one permanent cure
il;as ever been recorded. It is an absolute
fact that these diseases Cannot be cured bye
any application made oftener than once in
two weeks for the membrane must get a
chance to heal before an application is re-
peated. It is now seven years since Mr.
Nixon discovered the parasite n catarrh
and formulated his new treats ant, and
since then his remedy has become a house-
hold word in every country where the Eng
lish language is spoken. CURES EFFECTED
BY 19151 SEVEN YEARS AGO ARE CUBES STILL,
THERE HAVING BEEN NO RETURN OF THE DI-
SEASE. So highly are these remedies val-
ued, that ignorant imitators have started
up everywhere, pretending to destroy a
parasite, of which they know nothing, by
remedies, the resulte of the application of
which they are equally. ignorant. Mr. Dix-
on's remedy is applied only once in two
weeks and from one to three applications
effect a permanent cure in the moat aggra-
vated canes. Mr. Dixon :r _yes a pamph-

it is universally conceded that, not-
withstanding the adventOf old and new
lines into the field of competition for
passenger traffic between Chicago, Mil-
waukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis, the
Chicago, Mihvaukee tic St. Paul railway
maintains its lire -eminent position as
the leading lice, and carries the greater
portion of the business between these
points. It is not hard to account for
this, when we consider that it was the
first in the field, and gained its popular-
ity by long years of first-class service.
It has kept up to the times by adopting
all modern improvements in equipment

Its dining cars are celebrated through-
