Of total registrations, for periods longer than one day, numbering 6,500, approximately 2,600 registered from points in Canada; a greater registration of Canadians than in any previous year. Of the 6,500 gw?3t-s wh> registered at the Lodge during too 1927 season, 3,600 were from points jti the United States, the state of California loading with 8-10 registrations. Other states largely repre­ sented were Illinois with 460; New York State, 543; Minnesota, 251,; Ohio, 2C3; Pennsylvania 161 and Michigan 85. Of those registering from Canada, 278 were from Quebec; 978 from Ontario; 455 front Manitoba; 395 from British Colum­ bia; 353 from Alberta; 231 from Saskat­ chewan and the balance from the Mari­ time provinces. Thefc are several reasons for the grow­ ing popularity of Jasper Park Lodge, ac­ cording to A. S. McLean, General Superintendent of Canadian. National Hotels. The building of additional high­ ways and trails in the park, making the distant beauty spots more accessible to visitors, the construction of chalets at such beauty spots as Medicine and Mali- gne Lakes and the spreading fame of Canada’s finest scenic golf course being among them. At Medicine and Maligne Lakes—the latter the largest glacial Jake in the Canadian Rockies, chalets Eave been built for the convenience of trail riding parties and trails have been im­ proved so that the journey of sixty miles through the mountains is delightful and without hardship. 'There is also the fact that during the past season the area of the park has been extended to 5,3C0 square miles by taking in the magnificent Columbia icefields section, one of the finest big game terri* tones in the Rockies and comprising the largest; icefield in Canada. s At the conclusion of their convention at Edmonton this year, the members of the Canadian,Weekly Newspapers Asso­ ciation will visit Jasper Park Lodge and will spend a short time in this magnificent mountain playground.
