PEAR 1 f8,—Thinking that an ap-
count of a trip frorm► Clinton to Van-
couver might be interesting to your
readers, we will try and give you a
short aecouut of it. Leaving Clinton
at 2:20 p.m., on Wednesday, March
20th, we arrive at Toronto at 7.35,
and find we have four hours to wait,
as the N. & N.W. train, which con-
nects with the D.P.R. at North Bay,
does not leave till 11 o'clock, so,after
partaking of refreshinents, we pro-
ceed to take in the c9ity, and after a
few minutes walk we meet the portly
form of Pete Thompson, formerly of
Brussels, and as he is on his way to.
the. Parliament Buildings, we come
to the conclusion to go along, and
thus spend the time until our train
leaves. Here we find our legislators
busy, each one apparently trying (in
a polite way) to make the other out a
liar. After listening to them as long
as possible, we stat t for the depot,and
find comfortable quarters in our car,
and start for North Bay. When day-
light appears we are within a short
• distance of that place, and by the
time we have breakfast over we are
there, and get a good view of Lake
Nipissing. North Bay is a railway
divisional point, and hal a •ropulati( n
of 1,000, nearly all being employees
of the railway company, as that is
the only way a person could exist in
this place, as there is not enough of
arable land to make a decent flower
bed. From North Bay to Heron Bay,
on Lake Superior, the line traverses
through a part of country that is not
worth speaking of, as it is apparently
good for nothing, and we are glad
when darkness comes to hide it from
our view, and after listening to the
sweet strains of an Italian's harp,. we
turn in and go•to sleep. When morn-
ing dawns we are only sorry that we
have not passed through all the
worthless country in the night, and
that some .still remains for us to see.
After a few hours we arrive at Port
Arthur, which is the terminus of the
Eastern division, and is a very plea -
.540 looking place. Here we put
`back our ticker one hour, as we go
by central time now, and after a short
stop we are again on *the way for
Winnipeg, which is 430 miles distant.
Here we have the pleasure of meeting
Mr O. E. Marcy, the genial traveller
for the Doherty Organ Co. From
Port Arthur to Winnipeg the railway
traverses a wild brokenregion, with
rapid rivers and many small lakes.
We do not see much arable land un-
til we get within a few miles of Win-
nipeg, when it begins to improve. 'At
9.30 we arrive there, and find we
have 45 minutes to wait. After
changing cars we proceed on our
journey, and pass through a tract of
country that is apparently as level as
a table. and mostly unoccupied, due
to the fact that it is mostly held by
speculators. We soon arrive at the
Portage, which is a fine looking place,
surrounded by a fertile tract of land.
The Manitoba & North-Western Ry.
extends 180 miles northwest from
here towards Prince Albert. Between
the Portage and Brandon, stations
succeed one another at intervals of
five to eight miles, and at nearly all
large elevators are erected. Arriving -
at Brandon; we have ten minutes to
wait. Here the standard time chang-
es to ,mountain time, so we give our
ticker another twist back of one hour.
Beyond Brandon the railway,. draws.
'away from the Aseiniboine River, and
rises from its valley to a rolling pral-
rie, well occupied by apparently pros-
perous farmers, and as the shades of
night overtake us, we get ready to
turn in, and after arranging our fea-
ther bed, we are soon in the arms of
Morpheus. When we awake, we find
it is Sunday morning, and we are 100
miles west of Moose -Jaw. The name
is an abridgement of the India name,
which, when translated, is The-creek-
where- the -white -man- mended -the -
cart -with -.a -moose -jaw -bone. Between
Moose -Jaw and Swift Current we see
quite a number of antelopes, as well
as coyotes and prairie dogs. Between
Swift Current and Medicine Hat some.
fine land is to be seen, but viewing
the prairie so long it grows monoto-
nous, as it is the same thing over and
over again. Medicine Hat is quite
an important place, being a railway
divisional point, as well as .an im-
portant station of the Mounted Police.
Several coal mines are found in the
immediate vicinity. We stop here
25 minutes, and find lots of Indians
trying to sell their trinkets of almost
every description, which they manage
to do very well, even if it is Sunday.
Leaving thisplace we pass through a
fine rolling tract of land, mostly oc •
cupied by cattle ranches. Gas wells
are said to be common in this part.
Just as darkness overtakes us we see
looming ap in the distance a prairie
fire, which, as we draw nearer, is
something magnificent, but we are
soon past it, and prepare to spend
another night on the road. When we
awake next morning, we find that we
have passed through Calgary in the
night, and have arrived at the foot of
the Rockies, and feel pleased to think
that we will have a change of scenery.
We soon arrive at Banff, which is
noted for its hot springs. Rocky
Mountain Park is near here, which
is a national reservation, 26 miles
long and 10 miles wide. Here the
scenery is grand, and cannot possibly
be pescrided in writing But we keep
wending our way on and soon reach
Stephen, the summit of the Rockies,
which is called after Sir George
Stephen, and is 5296 feet; above the
level of the sea. From here the line
rapidly descends,` passing the beauti-
ful Wapta Lake at Hector, and cross-
ing the deep gorge of the Kicking
Horse River. The scenery here is
grand, and fills one with awe. The
line clings to the mountain side 011
the left, and on the right the valley
rapidly deepens, until the river is
seen as a gleaming thread, 1,000 feet
below. We pass along very slowly,
so' as to avoid all possibility of an ac-
cident, and are soon id a large canon,
the mdtintain sides become vertical,
rising up thousands of feet, and with-
in an easy stone's throw from wall to
wall. Down this vast chasm goes
the railroad and rived together, the
forme r twisting and turning in every
direction with the towering cliffs, al-
most shutting out the sunlight. and
the roar of the river and the train in-
creased an hundred fold by the echo-
ing walls. The passage of this ter.
rible gorge will not soon be forgotten,
The train suddenly emerges into day-
light, as Golden is reached, and the
Columbia river is seen•ahead. Pass-
ing along we soon reach Donald,
which is the headqutrtels foe the
mountain''Itection of t41e railway, it is
be winning countryrsupply
z in Here
the tin* goes back one hour, to. corn
respond with the Pacific ataudard
time. Leaving Donald, tbe'railway
crosses the Columbia river, to, the
base of the Selhirks, passing through
the gate of the Beaver river, a passage
so narrow that a felled tree answers
as a foot bridge over it. A little way
up the Beaver the line crosses to the
right bank, and gradually rises at the
rate of 116 feet to the mile, and the
river is soon left hundreds of feet be-
low. We pass over several high
bridges, the highest of all being the
one over Stoney Creek, which is one
of the loftiest bridges in the world,
being 295 feet high. All the difficul-
ties of the railway, from snow in the
winter, occur between Bear Creek and
the summit, and these have been
ofercome by the construction, at vast
expense, of sheds of massive timber
work. These are built of heavy
cedar timber, dove -tailed and bolted
together. After a short run we near
Rogers Pass, which is beyond descrip-
tion. Mount McDonald, towering a
mile and a quarter above the railway,
appears almost vertical. Gradually
wending our way along, we soon reach
tt e Selkirk summit. we pass along
the valley of the Illicilliwate, until
we reach the Glazier House, where
we have 30 mi tes for refreshments,
and after ing a short walk we are
again on our way, and the first im-
portant place we come to is Albert
Canon, where the river is seen 300 feet
below the railway, and after running
through a very narrow gorge, we soon
arrive at Revelstoke, on the Colum-
bia Riyer, which is a railway divi-
sional point. Here night again over-
takes us, and spoils our view,,so we
soon turn in and are fast asleep, glad
that this will be our last night on the
train, but hoping that we will awake
at the first break of the day, eo that
we may see all there is to be seen,
and when we awake find that we are
running along the Fraser River, as
well as the old Cariboo Road, and see
lots of Chinamen washing for gold
on the sand bars. We soon reach
Yale, which is the head of naviga-
tion ma the 'Fraser, and an; outfitting
point for miners. This is a very
pretty little place, apparently shut in
by the mountains, the most conspicu•
ous building 'being a Chinese Joss
House. Leaving Yale we soon get a
view of Mount Baker, in Washington
Territory, which is 13,000 feet above
the level.of the railway. The next
place of much importance is Port
Moody, which was for some time the
terminus, and is at the head of Bur-
rard Inlet,. and is rather a deserted
looking place now, as Vancouver has
the lead. From here to Vancouver
the line follows the south above of
the inlet, °and the outlook is delight.
ful. After 40 minutes run Vancouver
appears in sight, and soon we are
there. This place is. only four years
old, and has a population of 10,000,
and is a great contrastto the Van-
couver of June, 1886, when the whole
city was burned to the ground; we
can hardly realize that it is the same
- place that we were is at the time of
the great conflagration. This place
is still growing, and will ultimately
be the San Francisco of British.Col-
umbia.
Hoping that this will not occupy
too much of your paper, and may be
of interest to your many readers, I
am. yours respectfully,
THOS. F. CALBICK,.
Moodyville, B. C.
The last Canadian Loan.
Authority. was given•to the Dominion
Government by the House of Commons,
in the session of 1888. to issue bonds to
the amount of four million pounds ster-
ling ($20,000,000). Sir Charles Tupper,
acting on behalf of the Government,
placed the loan on the .London market
in the following June. Thelbonds were
made payable at the end of fifty years,
bearing interest at the rate of three
per cent., and were sold at an average
of £95 ls. per £100. The loan was re-
garded as most successful when the re-
sult was announced. During the de-
livery 'of the Budget at Ottawa this
session, the Finance Minister,, Hon.Geo
E. Foster, characterizep thg'loan as the
most successful effort of any Canadian
Government. In reply to Sir Richard
Cartwright, Mr Foster repeated the
statement about the price and the
lengthened period of the loan,and added
that it was not necessary to provide an
annual sinking fund to pay the loan at
maturity. Sir Richard Cartwright
then said if these were the facts, the
success attending the loan furnished
cause for congratulation. But the re-
ceipt of the prospectus issued by the
Government when placing the loan on
the market, proves it to have been one
of the most' disastrous financial tran-
sactions ever experienced by any Cana-
dian administration. The prospectus
contains this remarkable intimation to
the capitalists of London,
"With a view of rendering the sink•
ing funds of the varipus loans more ef-
fective than heretofore, the Canadian
Government intend to apply the sums
annually required for the reduction of
the national debt in the purchase of the
stock now offered. The amount at pre-
sent annually employed to the reduction
of the national debt is £350,000 sterling,
and as the sinking fund is accumulative
the amount yearly increases," '
The effect of that •clause is that the
government will be obliged to repurchase
the entire loan of $20,000,000 in ten or
more annual instalments, averaging
£400,000, or $2,000,000, each. The
loan, therefore,' instead of being for
fifty years, must, according to the pros-
pectus, be repaid in equal annuallinstal-
ments within ten years, thus making it
little better than a straight five year
loan. All former unguaranteed loans
contained a,provision in either the pro-
spectus or bond setting forth that the
government ',shall not" be obliged, in
investing the sinking funds in the re-
purchase of the stock, to do so if the
stock should be held in the market at a
premium. In the case of the loan made
by Sir Charles Tupper fast June,no such
provision is made, but, on the contrary,
the terms of the prospectus render it
imperative upon the government to re.
purchase that stock to the extent of
nearly $2,000,000 annually, no matter
what the ruling market prices might be.
That the tendency of such an obligation
will be to enhance the value of the stock
there can be no doubt. English finan-
cial journals have already directed
public attention to that phase of the
loan. Tho English capitalists know the
manner in which the Canadian Govern-
ment aro bound to purchase a certain
antafdnt each year, and that' they will
contrive to force the price of the stock
far above its real value, there can be no
doubt. If the stock goes at par the
country will loso $1,000,000; if at$1.05,
the Toss will be $2,000,000 if at 1.10
$3,000,000, and if at $1.15, $4,000,000
will be lost in repurchasing. Various
conjectures have been given as to the
reasons that actuated the government
in adopting such an unusual course
when placing the loan ou the English
market. Seine parties are going to
make money out 'of' the extra rdinary
transaction, and the, patient t@ayera
of Canada will have to• fQQt the bill.
The eirouxastanees sprronrtding the
affair argot such a suspicious. character
that nothing should be 'left undone by
which light can be thrown on the
questionable transaction.
The Butter Indusiry.
(Montreal Witness.)
While extraordinary progress has
lately been made in the cheese depart -
went of Canadian dairying, the'znaking
of butter seems tb be going into decay.
This backsliding among Canadian but-
termakers is the less excusable when
it is known that a large portion of the
Dominion is specially adapted in soil,
water and olfpipte for the production of
ensilage as .a ..cheap cattle food, no
branch of farming giyes promise of bet-
ter remuneration than the manufacture
of superior butter. All our agricultural
authorities agree that the difference be- 1
tween success and failure in farming
under present conditions in the older
provinces, that is, between a life of al-
most ideal enjoyment and one of dragged -
out misery,lies largely in the intelligence
brought to bear on the operations of the
farm. The time is past for these pro-
vinces when the land, competing as it
does ,with the virgin prairies, Will bring
forth of itself in abundance sufficient to
enable the cultivator to live. But the
differences which can be wrought by
the application of intelligence are
enormous. The value of CanaIa's but-
ter product will probably in the course
of a few years be double what it is to-
day, largely through the dissemination
of ideas.
Nashville. Anl;crican:—A chair
of protectionism in Yale College
is a. 'pure absurdity. No man
learns to be tt protectionist by the
study of political economy. He
either believes in it because be
dosn't know any better or because
it is to his personal interest,
There is no place in political
economy nor in any reputable col-
lege for protectionism. Its
"chair" is the divan of protected
baron, and its literature is ,the
"fat -frying" secret circular.
Mr Parnell has instituted a suit
against the London Ti mes for lible,
claiming £100.000 damages.
The work of rebuilding of the
Suspension bridge, at Niagara
Falls, which (wars destroyed by
the great wind storm of January-
last
anuarylast is progressing rapidly, and
will in all probability be completed
by May 1. About 100 men have
been employed in the reconstruc-
tion. The work is of a very danger-
ous nature, requiring the utmost
caution of the workmen, engaged
thereon. So far no serious ac-
cidents have occurred. Crowds
of people watch the work daily.
