THE Trail Riders of the Cana
dian Rockies have an unusual
holiday titbit set aside for the end
of July when they will make a
five-day exploratory trip through
the picturesque section of the
Rocky Mountains northeast of
Banff.
The society, which was organ
ized to open, new trails through
the mountains and give members
an unrivalled mountain holiday at
the lowest possible cost, has made
many interesting trips in the past,
but few with more promise than
this year’s from July 29 to August
2. They will ride over high passes
and down into deep valleys in the
shadow of 10,000-foot peaks; they
will find time for fishing, or ca-
mera studies of
scenery or the big game which is
found in such large numbers;
they will enjoy campfire sing
songs and a bang-up Pow-wow at
the end of the trip. These outings
have become so popular that
many Americans plan their holi
days at Banff Springs Hotel, Cha
teau Lake Louise, or" any of the
several attractive bungalow
camps every year to coincide with
the official Trail Hike or Trail
Ride.
It is* a trip which will attract
the novice rider as well as the
experienced horseman, for the
horses used are mild, sure of foot,
and easy to handle. Experienced
guides, cowboys, and cooks will
be along to smooth the trip, while
arrangements are well under way
even now for the Trail Riders to
find a comfortable camp and a
warm meal waiting at the end of
each day’s ride. Two nights will
be spent at one of the camps —
the one nearest to the best fishing
and most spectacular scenery.
Interest in this year’s outing
is keen, according to J. Murray
Gibbon, Windsor Station, Mont
real, the secretary-treasurer, who
said that he expects there will be
many new members in the party
leaving the Banff Springs Hotel
for the starhof the ride on July 29.
Photographs show scenes from
the rides of former years and
clearly indicate the joys of the
mountain trails.

HOLIDAY opportunities in the
thousands of lakes, rivers
and streams of Canada afford
fishing opportunities which are
unexcelled anywhere in the world.
The wide stretches of the Domi
nion are liberally supplied with
forest and lake-land, abounding
with game fish and animals,
where lovers of the great out-of-
doors can find a sports district to
suit their every whim.
Fishing conditions are so varied
in Canada and the species of game
fish so numerous that a small
booklet is required merely to list
all the fish and regulations of the
different sections. Deep-sea fish
ing is found on both ocean coasts,
half-ton tuna off Nova Scotia
and equally large sharks near
Vancouver Island; 2
small-mouth black bass at the
Devil’s Gap Camp, Lake of the
Woods district, and in hundreds
of lakes in Eastern ’Canada, vie
for popularity with 40-pound
maskinonge at such favored re
sorts as the French River Camp
in Ontario; fighting trout of
several species are found every
where in Canada, most popular
regions among anglers being the
Laurentian Mountains, north of
Montreal, or the mile-high lakes
surrounding Banff and Lake
Louise in the Canadian Rockies;
and mighty salmon bring joy to
for
five-pound
the hearts of anglers in'the Mari
times.
These few highlights of Can
ada’s many fishing opportunities
illustrate why Canadian sports
men. fishing in their home waters
are joined every year by so many
thousand anglers from the United.
States and overseas. Conditions,
possibilities and regulations vary
so widely in different sections
that anglers planning to visit
strange districts would do well to
find out all about them in ad
vance from A. 0. Seymour, gen
eral tourist agent, Canadian Paci
fic Railway, Montreal, or from
fishing booklets obtainable at all
Canadian Pacific offices.

It is well known that in Canada
every, year losses due to farm fires
amount to an enormous sum, yet in
many cases the damage to certain ex

prevented .by simple precautionary
measures.

unwarranted sense of security but in

should always be taken in handling

that periodically the chimneys should
be examined, tested for cracks, and
cleaned regularly. A good chemical
