To attempt to give a description of tbe
beauty of the Columbia valley would be
futile, beides it is tbe intention to only
give our impressions of the trip. The
old chestnut p.brase, "Tho scenery batiks

Steamers run up the river from Golden,
ft stirring town, to Fort Steele, a boom-
ing mining locality, near the head waters
of that great stream. Below that 300018
tbe river is too rapid for navigation and
it there makes a greet detour round the
Selkirks.

4 p. 03., the Columbia is again reached.
There are the old and the new towns, the
latter the outcome of railway traffic. It
is a stinting place. Here passengers for
the Kootenay take leave on the main line
and as we are of the nurnber, we part
with regret from fellow passengers, who
for the short time are so genial and
agreeable to each other. There were
many English and American tourists

remarked that he had crossed their three
