MASON'S TRIP Vancouvr, August, 1928 Editor Advance -Times: A geat deal of information can be had regarding these cities from Cham- bers of Commerce, Bureau, Folders for Tourists and other means, but it would take volumes to 'give the whole story and enter into detail -respecting. a journey of this nature and I some- times wonder if the effortis of much value to the reading public, I_ confess I , am not fully satisfied, for there is so much to see and to write about that the writing is so meagre and the pen does not do justice to the matter. However, if you. have had a Iittle pleasure and entertainment I am more than, pleased and thankful and only wish'I could serve you better. Again speaking of Seattle; they claim the highest building in U. S. outside N. Y. City, it being 42 stories, efour of which are underground, it is called the Smith Building and shows• very prominent in entering the city from every direction; should you de- sire a "look over" they charge fifty cents for the privilege, but having a little of the Scotch nature of frugality I prefer getting it at a lesser cost by mounting the tower in Volunteer Park which has even a much greater eleva- tion, While there is 'so much here of interest I will just speak of one more thing. Of course we are all interested in our stomachs and a mar- ket appeals to each of us at a.place to satisfy our craving. This place certainly does, it is said to be the largest of its kind in existence and I would not doubt it, I have no• figures but 'I can tell you a little about it. By a guess I fancy it would be about a thousand feet long, somewhat narrow, stands for hinders and sellers on eith- er side having their commodities nice- ly displayed, giving prices by card on each article, so that you knoiv the cost of everything without asking. The vendors are made up of mixed nationalities, the Chinese being 'pre - dominent, these latter cannot be ex- celled in raising foodstuffs, everything whic hthey display is washed beauti- fully clean, in fact they are fussing, scraping and rubbing their stuff all the time, even, making the potatoes fit for the pot. Some of the prices are; Cantelope five cents, large cabbage 5 cents, log- anberries and raspberries 10c, large box, heart celery 5c, large bunch 10c, Carrots, beets, onions, spinach, pars- nips 5c large bunch, peaches le each, new potatoes 7 or more Ths for 25c, flowers in abundance for very small price and all ,other things in propor- tion. On Saturday night before clos- ing, one dollar will load you up for Sunday for they are dead anxious to get rid of everything. The market laws are very stringent regarding weight, , measure and quali- ty.: a report of any infraction is in. vesti aced and, the vendor is very severely punished if found guilty. The sellers are not given the same allot- tnent. twice running but may be at one end of the building today, middle to -morrow, and far end next day. I do not know anything about house rentals, but other things con- sidered, by judicious management you may live cheaply here, that is if yet walk, but on the oilier hand baying to depend on ear transportation, it would be very costly as you only get 8 tickets for a quarter, • so you ar right up against it. I must not forget the barber, on of the most important " persattages b the 'city's make-up, On 1st Avenu there are different grades of artists the highest toned Tonsorial denfand 5Qc for a hair cut, a little furtherpon the next grade is 85c, continuing the walk we are confronted with a 25c sign, while in the next block we run against a "college," which only taxes you 15 cents and if you are broke you are invited to step into a bacl room, where you can get the job done free, ' gratis, for nothing! I' am told that it is possible to lose your life here if you want a shave, as the stu- dents tu dents have to start on somebody and possibly you `might be a victim for the morgue and post mortem. We ' now shake the dust of this great city and meander' to Portland to be exact 202 miles,` taking any one of three Railways which run on the same' track. On the way there are many different views engaging you attention, we have evidence of much fruit ripening, 'apples, cherries, diff- erent berries and etc,. also in places large vegetable patches; then we enter a somewhat desolate part of the coun- try covered with scrub and swamp next rock on'' one side coining close to the` track while on the other side a stream and mountains beyond, next perhaps a village abandoned with houses empty; a house here and there empty, we enter a district of farms for a short distance and so on alter- nately this kind of thing for many miles, daring the journey we see many saw mills going to decay, I expect the consequence' of wood becoming scarce The first important city we'strike is Tacoma, ,a considerable port,on Puget Sound, a comparatively old place, large saw mills here as' well as many other manufacturing enterpris es„ The country around here seems much more prosperous and pleasant looking, the population is about 125 thousand. To show you the rivalry of cities, the people here 'declared Seattle would never be much of .a place because it was so near Tacoma! You Can; clearly see that they were much out in their , reckoning. How little we seem to know when we get down to "b tacks:" From here we skirt the "sound"for some miles; then. we enter again .a diversified country for balance of way, not much change' of sceneryuntil we. come to Columbia River of large'.ex- tent, passing over two, also tunnels we finally reach the great city of Portland, of course, the Seattlers poke fun at this place a Iittle, they say the streets are narrow and they haven't got the harbor we have etc. and etc., well the` streets are not so wide, but they appear about the same as Tor- onto, at any rate, so rivalry goes on but I want to say Seattle will double discount it:and . give it . 32 points," nevertheless, it has 350 thousand cov- ering a vast acreage of miles in'ex- tent, having good buildings, situated among the mountains, in.a saucer- shaped aucer-shaped' valley; the River Columbia dut- ting through the: centre, making a good harbor which will take in the largest vessels.. The one factor they blow' about to tourists is the Columbia Highway which they say is the finest in the world, a . wide pavement around the mountains with a length of 280 miles.. While here, I called , up an old. Wingham boy, Mr., Fred Ansley, whom some of you will remember. The weather here during stay was in- deed fierce, at about 99, so not feeling Like being roasted, I just retraced' my stepsback toSeattle for S a e o one :night and then by boat to Victoria to get a cool off, Before. I drop Yankee- land, I ':wish to pay,' them a tribute of respect for the •' kindness they ex- hibited, one and.all, during' my 'few days there, I think on the whole they are a little ahead of us "Canucks" 'in courtesy and kindness, while they' are after "number one"'they have a little - more diplomacy and freer in their idealings towards .strangers, we as a people, are a little too English in our deportment and I think also a. little too much inclined to be selfish in getting after the almighty dollar. Will tell you about Victoria along this line later. After about four hours and a rtui of 82 miles over smooth water ,thru. pleasant scenery, beautiful Victoria looms into view, we presently round the corner and enter the nice little inner harbor, the boat practically run - ping -up against the main street, Par- liament Buildings, and C. P. R. Em- press Hotel. The prospect is cer- tainly fineanddistinctive, noother tarn Y capital having quite so pretty a pic- ture, The customs here as at Seattle a formal affair, in fact if grips were closely examined I don't know when we would get th •ough as'there are great crowds travellingin this way, it certainly is a great nuisance but how to. overcome' it I do not know. Annexation is out ,of the question, he reciprocity' a good word? Geo.
