Victoria and Vancouver Mecca for Tourists
W1E
rLoutiki7fS B4.00e4 Otters!?
Christmas rose plucked in the
garden ' is no novelty in the
flower vase of a Victoria or Van-
eouver automobile, for the climate
of these two 13ritish Columbia cities
is so mild during the winter that
both claim eternal summer, . The
golfer can . drive, approach the
green, putt on a real grass green
practically every day in the year,
- and hundreds of iniles of splendid
roads are in first class condition the
year round for motoring. The, mild
climate is largely due to the warm-
ing influence of the ,Japan current
and protecting range of mountains.
Victoria, capital of British Colum-
bia, is a city of rare charm with its
beautiful drives' and residential sec-
tions, its first class golf courses to
which access is easily obtained 'by
the player, its unique Chinese
quarter, its turbaned Hindus, its ivy-
covered Empress Hotel and its fin.
posing 'parliament buildings. Both
the Victoria Golf Club and the Col-
wood Gelf and Country Club have
entertained thousands of guests in a
single year, and golfers stopping at
the Empress niay play at both upon
payment of a small greens' fee.
Victoria is noted for its magnificent
drives leading through beautiful,
streets, along the ocean's shores and
far into the interior of the island.
Vietoria is at the southern tip of
Vancouver Island, named after Cap-
tain George Vancouver, • of the Brit-
ish Navy, who discovered it in 1702.'

Lions, twin snow-capped peaks,.
