(This we hope to describe next week,) Famous Malign c Canyon Wednesday afternoon the party was taken on a sight-seeing trip around the mountains and visit­ ed the famous Maligne canyon, one of the most spectacular sights in the Rock Mountains. A gorge some 200 feet deep has been cut through the rock and in places was less than ten feet in width. Two bridges nave been built over parts of tne narrow canyon where excellent views are obtained as you look down be­ tween the narrow walls which must have taken many centuries for the waters to cut through. Wednesday evening the asso­ ciation banquet was held, when the trophies and awards were distributed to the winners of the various contests conducted in connection with the xiewspapets. Thursday there was more sightseeing and preparations for the homeward journey.
