the Libeeal Lcauer, was :oaten in
North Perth by Dr. Monteith, and a
Liberal majority of 1,600 in 1919
was turned into a minority of h0U.
The Ministers who are uerinitely
announced returned to the z.egisla
Lure were Hon. W. E. Raney, Hon.
F. C. Biggs, Hon, Manning Doherty,
and Hon, Beniah 13owniau. In the
general rout of the Druryites, the
following were the most outstanding
men to be bowled ever by the ballots:
Hon. E. C. Drury, the Premier, suf-
fered defeat in the constituency, of
Halton, in which he essayed to run
again. Incomplete returns, report
George Hillmer, Conservative, lead-
ing in Halton by 700.
Hon. Peter Smith, Provincial Trea-
surer, was rejected by the electors of
South Perth by a majority of 300 in
a two -candidate battle with the Con-
servative standard-bearer.
Hon. R. H. Grant, Minister of Edu-
cation, experienced a smashing defeat
in his home riding of Carleton, the
majority against him being 2,329 in
a straight fight with a Conservative
opponent.
Hon. D. Carmichael, Meeister with-
out portfolio and Governr;tent repre-
sentative on the Hydro -electric Com-
mission, was removed from office by
his constituents in Centre Grey by a
majority of 50.
Hon. Walter Rollo, Minister of
Labor, lost the traditionally Labor
seat of East Hamill on, a riding which
had steadfastly returned a Labor rep-
resentative since the days of the late
Allan Studholme.
Hon. Harry Mills, Minister of
Mines, sustained a severe reverse in
Fort William, where he wan defeated
by 782, and went down with other
ministerial colleagues.
Toronto has returned to the Tory
fold. In the 1919 contest only four
Conservatives were elected with five
Liberals and one soldier candidate
completiug the quoto of ten seats.
John ,,O'Neill, Liberal member for
Seat "A" Northeast Toronto Lied dur-
ing his term of office and his seat
was captured by Cai. John A. Currie
for the Conservatives, leaving four
Liberals . from Toronto when the
House prorogued. The Conserva-
tives made a complete sweep of the
city with majorities running from
4,000 to 14,000. The greatest sur-
prise was the overwhelming defeat
of Hartley H. Dewart, former leader
Of the Liberal party in Southwest
Toronto, Seat "A". In the election
of 1919, he polled 16,555 votes, but
on Monday only 3,211 people mark-
ed their ballots for him, turning a
majority of 7,186 to a minority of
4,756.
The women candidates' fared badly.
Four of theist ran for the Legislature,

Mountain -Climbing on
Vancouver Island
'Yameron Lake showing Mount Arrowsrnitin In the distance.
Vancouver Island is becoming famous for many
things. Among the chief of, these is its climate, among
• the more utilitarian its strawberries; and among the
tourist attractions its marvellous scenery, and magni-
ficent drives, its many fascinating trips both by boat and
by rail. But, while tens of thousands of visitors holiday
in the Island every summer, very few of them are aware
of the fact that within less than a day'e journey of
Victoria there are mountain peaks covered with perpetual
snow, and massive glaciers, which defy the warmest of
the summer sunshine, where those who enjoy that most
exhilarating sport, mountain -climbing, may put all of
their skill to the test.
The most popular mountain from an Alpinist's point
of, view is Arrowsrhith. It is about six thousand feet
high, and to reach it one travels by one of the most
magnificent scenic railways on the continent. There is a
diversity of country all along the hundred 'miles from
Victoria to Parkesville. Parkesville is on the east
coast of the Island, and Victoria, situated at the extreme
south of the Island is the starting point for the journey.
One of the first summits to be crossed is that of the splen-
did Malahat, about fifteen hundred feet above the sea.
Here, from the "Lookout," one looks down on a wonder-
ful panorama of green -embowered hills, narrow winding
waterways, the wide stretch of the sea itself and the
Olymptic mountains on the Mainland in their dazzling
dress of ice and snow. After crossing the Malahat there
are miles along the shores of the salt water, quick
passagesthrough picturesque villages and towns, journey-
ings among sweet -scented woods which are always gay
with flowers.
At Parkesville theroad divides one branch swinging
toward the west. And therebegins the first trek in the
journey which leads to the everlasting hills. As one
nears Cameron Lake, whether one travels by rail or
highway, one sees the beginning of the vast forest of
Douglas fir, than whioh there is no 'finer stretch of timber
in America.
Just across the lake from the Chalet one begins :the
ascent of Mount Arrowsmith. •
The particular day when we made the journey was
in early June. It was sweet and cool near the water, the
bracken thrusting up branchy and . tall, maiden -hair
ferns just unfolding, ail of the trees: and shrubs wearing
their new dresses .of fresh, :young green.
`We started at noon, and from the very outset, •found
the trail fairly steep. With only. occasional ,,stops for
breath, we pushed on for five. hours before we made the

oil the' upper reaches. It took us an hour or more to
tunnel into it, for although our packer had gone ahead
with the blankets, he could not accomplish much alone,
But we finally dug our way in, cleared the snow from the
windows, made a fire, and before very long the aroma of
boiling coffee and fried ham filled the little cabin, and we
sat down to eat with ravenous appetites.
The sleep that comes to one on these high, snowy
altitudes, far above the slightest sound of life, is dee
dreamless and infinitely refreshing. We awoke at eight
the next morning, full of eagerness to continue the climb,
which from there on is a real test of strength, and endure
ance.
The' final five hundred feet were very steep, and not
without danger for the unwary. We had a few tumbles,
and slides, which only added to the enjoyment, and when
we had pursued our journey to the end our satisfaction
Was very great. For it was an objective worth striving
for.
The view was grand beyond conception, snow -peaks
all about is, dazzlingly splendidin the sunshine, ,clouds
of mist lifting from the valleys, and rolling away to give'
a glimpse of lakes blue as periwinkle, of bare 'cliff -sides
coloured with the tints of the rainbow, and bright, greets
valleys,and forests of sturdy Iittle jack -pine, while now
and then when the clouds would roll up ;and melt into
the blue .of the sky, we could glimpse a farther view, and
;we said it was the sea and the 'mountains beyond the
sea, but the distance made it almost as vague as a half-
forgotten dreant.
It is Q; journey that one can easily make within the
day, providing: there is no miscalculation, and it is a most
joyfully:' exhilarating climb, while the picture which the; ,
summit' d scie'see Met always stand out conspicuously',
in the gallery of one's memories. -
