Below, Chief walking- in -the -road picks out a few odd peaks for a fair Trail Rider. ' ; arlY last July a small.party of -riders was encamped JCa on the plateau which lies between Tumbling Creek Glacier and the gap in the Vermilion Range of the Cana- dian Rockies known as the Wolverine Pass. The day was warm and conducive to sleep, and, because on this account one of the party dozed and dreamed and later caused the other members of the party to enthuse over 3-. his dream, there gathered in the Yoho Valley of British Columbia a week since, two hundred and six prominent Canadians, Americans and Europeans, calling themselves Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Each had qualified for membership in the Order by riding at one time 'or a: -other not less than fifty miles through the Rockies on horseback. This unique gathering, recording as it did the first .attempt to form an association of mounted mountain climbers was characterized by Dr. Charles W. Walcott, head of the Smithsonian Institute of Washington and honorary president of the Trail Riders, as a step which will prove 'one of the greatest international attractions. The attendance at the First Annual Ride of•the Trail Riders exceeded by far the most sanguine hopes of the ••organisers, but fortunately, Yoho Camp, that beautiful village of chalets a mile above the sea, had been reinforced, with twenty Indian teepees and a huge Sun. Dance Lodge which•had been erected as camp headquarters,by.Stony Indians under the supervision of, Chief Walking -en -tile - Only one trail rider left this camps with what could be. termed €t legitimate grouch. This was Dr. Walcott who believes •that•: bears stolethe side of mutton which was hanging at the back ofhis chalet when he last saw it. Riding was, of course, theorder of the day, and many " of the riders, enchanted by the scenery, fell far behind the 'main group and lingered on the heights till night fall. In the evenings the mountain enthusiasts gatheredin the Sun Dance Lodge to talk over the day onto sing and dance and otherwise amuse/themselves. After the white- mans pow -wow on the second night a real Indian pow- wow was danced by Chief Walking -in -the -road and Chief Buffalo -child Long. Lance, to the accompaniment of Indian singing and the beating of tom-toms by a group of Stony -braves. Altogether''the first annual pow-weW of the Trail" Riders f the Canadian Rockies was a huge success,.:and • the organisers believe,. that henceforth the Canadian Rockies will recdi've-.•the recognition and appreciation which is their due.
