Sky Line Hiking in the Rockies
• Organized trail hiking in the
Canadian Rookies, will be'in-
augurated for the coming year by
a hike slated to start at Lake
Louise on August 4t1. An in-
creasing interest is being taken in
trail hiking in the Canadian
Rookies, and a committee consist-
ing chiefly of experienced mem-
bers of the Trail Riders of the
Canadian Rockies and the Alpine
Club of Canada, has undertaken
the organization of a new order
nailed the Slcy Line Trail Hikers.
The inaugural hike will start
this summer on August 4th from
Lake Louise and tramp over the
Saddleback through Paradise. Val-
ley and over Sentinel Pass to
Moraine Lake, where the first
night's camp will be made. On
Saturday, August 6th, the party*.
will hike from Moraine Lake over
Wenkchemna and Opabin Pesses
and will have the thrill of cross-
mg two glaciers before arriving
at Lake O'Hara: On Sunday, the
hikers will be able to take in the
magnificent scenery around Lake
Macarthur, Lake Oesa, and 11lount
Odaray, and members of the party
will be'able to enjoy the excel-
lent fishing in Lake O'Hara. The
Pow -Wow will be held on Mon-
day, August 8th, after which the
members will hike to Werpta' and
catch the evening train back to
Lake Louise,
Tho magnificent scenery of the
Canadian Rockies and the pure
joy of achievement, together with
the comforts assured by the ar-
rangements made by the Cana-
dian Pacific Railway make this
one of the finest and most health-
ful of holiday outings.

The young man and the girl were
standing outside the front dloor hav-

leave. 'He was 'leaning against. the
