The C.P .R . crop inspector estimated an average of 12 to 15 bushels per acre. I left Consort on August 13, and had a very romantic and fascinating trip through the Rockies, Leaving Cal- gary, the railuray follows the bed of Bow River until you reach the Great Divide. The Water of the Bow river runs east tmtil you come to the Great Divide when it suddenly. disappears, and in less then 50 rods by rail you come in sight of another river, the waters of which are running west. Having spent a night at Banff; you see the C. P. Mt. Hotel, the Hot Springs coming out of the mountains and the Buffalo park full of buffaloes. Banff is the summer resort of - the Rockies. The next point of interest is or near Glacier.

You can look down. down. down, and if your hair don't shove your hat off you can still see further down, and then you will see a little green river twisting and winding a- round the foot of the' Mountain and then looking up, up, Yes, away up, you .will see the sun glittering on the snow caps at the top. You will see beaufi- ful little steams of water skipping and falling over the rocks down the Mountin -side to the river below. It is a continuous panorama of sights all the way through the mountains. When we reach South Bendi where the Thompson River empties into the Fraser River, we elAOSS a bridge 180 feet above the water. There are stzong rapids here ,and the water is foaming and jumping over the bould- ers. They have given this bridge the distinguishing name of the "Jaw's of Death."

The Marine Park Is nineteen miles in circumference and cement pavements wide enough for three cars all the way round it. Stan- ley Park is not quite so large but is more beautiful; They have the koo- logical gardens here with nearly all the wild animals and birds-. to be found in the west. In North Van- couver you drive out to Lion moun- tain. This mountain has two large boulders on top of it resembling a shape ef a lion so they call it the Lion Mountain. Out theke is the Caoilano Canyon and the rope bridge 450 feet long and 200 feet above the water. The scenery is most geautiful there. We leave Vancouver and take theePee P.

This route passes through the • Sacramento Valley. pass- ing the Shasta Mountain, which is 410,036 feet high and one of the high- est peaks of the south.
