FRED DAVEY
Village Clerk
Issuer of Marriage Licenses
The law now requires the license
be taken out three days before the
healthy place, judging .'fromthe ap-
pearanceof the female complexions.
r have, no 'doubt but the invigorating
air of the Pacific has very much to
do with it I notice that even' in the'
middle -age the youthful bloom is
strongly 5n' evidence everywhere "IVia"
being as young looking as the kid by
her side. Oh .so charming, that it
makes a. fellow feel he would like to
live here if it would only have the
same effect on the male variety, more
especially on baldheads, I also note
the . fact that the ;lips are "ruby" in
many cases, which .seems to impart a
distinctive -look to the ladies, which I
do not find "Down East" to the same
extent. A great country this. '
A friend here declares the C. P. R.
have a night train from Vancouver
over the .Kettle Valley line, in order
to get their victims asleep and.'dead
to the fact that they are going over
trestles galore, over the road built up
on the mountain , sides, held up by
sticks and stones, around hair pin cur-
ves; up in the air, which would be
hair splitting` should the nervous
wreck behold, and from fright expire
on board. For which would ,cause ex-
pense to the Company for burial char-
ges and indemnity. A fellow passen-
ger told me he saw an engine and
some freight cars at the bottom df the
mountain, which ,made me think I
should have taken out an accident
policy before embarking on this haz-
ardous voyage; However, I braced
myself tip as I had committed myself
to the tender care of the C. P. R,
coupled with the fact that we had just
left the station called "Hope", which
I thought was a good omen. It gave
a certain inspiration, to "hope" we
would pull through all right, which
we did eventually after a ride of 30o
miles through awe inspiring scenery,
which is almost past description. I
would rather lose a month's growth
than this ride. The Lord only knows
what this Railway was ever built for,
for scarcely anybody lives around
these parts, the only sign of life for
many miles are sonic foreign navvies
on the track side, a station (box car)
about every 20 miles, a water tank
semi -occasionally. We crawl along
awfully afraid we are going to' jump
the job for Glory Land when present-
ly we come to a switch back to travel
45 miles to go twenty. I tell you it
is great, positively it is worth it. There
may be something like it in the world
but I don't know where. I question
if there is such an interesting trip for
rugged scenery, mountains for per-
haps 500 miles; lakes, rivers, ravines,
rock, scrup, canyons,etc., alternately
these things until we finally strike the
flat earth again in Alberta.
To size up this line from a commer-
cial view, how can it pay for axle
grease. To all judgment from one
cerem ony. who is not initiated it is past under-
standing why men should conceive the
idea, of building such a stupendous en-
terprise which would appear that to
carry out, would make a highway cov-
ered with dollar bills, which is no ex-
aggeration and would take the output
of a vast gold mine. We are a great
people, the world anywhere can't beat
as for extravagance.
We conic to Okanagan Valley, not-
ed for fruit, thousand of trees dotting
the mountain sides. This seems to
be about the only revenue in these
parts. At about twelve we land up at
the pretty little" town of Nelson, nest-
ling among great mountains and built
on the shore of Kootenay Lake. This
e1 little town of about 8000 is the centre

we resumed our journey at Kootenay
Landing, in due time we float into
Medicine Hat. Perhaps you have
heard of Medicine Hat, it is no great
shakes, but somewhat important on.
this great Railway where we change
cars for the Main Line, which takes
us to the Capital city of Saskatche
wan, Regina; another nice name like
Victoria. It pertains to the Crown of
THE YEAR 'OF HOMEGOING,
live reaper thresher Earners a bumper crop, and the man of the
west contemplates the golden stream as it poured fromwagon
w conveyor. Unset) -On the Duchess of Atholl, homeward
bound.
There has been a record crop. The West will con-
tinue to flourish. In a thousand cases, a few
years of struggle with nature has been rewarded.
And what will it mean? more roads, more cars, more
machinery, more. streets and stores and homes and
radios. A brisker trade, more industrial activity in
the east, more shipping and more car loadings, per
mile. More wheels turning all over the country.
But the man whose labours by the favour' of
flrovidence has been mainly responsible for all this.
His threshing done. he has time now to think of other
things than wheat and rain and frost and sun and
harvesters, and the rail and.; steamship companies are
Anticipating his thought. In a few weeks now, there
will be a feverish packing of bags, a collecting of the
enildrsn, a donning of new hats and shoes and a rush
,r the trains.
This, say the transportation officials will be the
,c ear of the home -going, The English, the Jersey
Flanders, the Scotch and the Irish and the Contin-
entals too. The Canadian. Pacific officials foresee so
great a trek, that they have already planned many
special trains out of the West, and many steamship
.':filings which will facilitate 'the movement and en-
ure Christmas and New Year's with the old folk
and an inexpensive journey in comfort and luxury.
The Minnedosa will give the more fortunate ones
a sailing from Montreal on November 28 for Glasgow,
Belfast and Liverpool. On the seventh of December
the Metagama and Montclare will sail from Saint
John, one for Cherbourg, Southampton and Antwerp
and the other for the Liverpool run. The Melita,
sailing on the fourteenth, will stop en route at St.
Helier with a large number of home -going Channel
Islanders and the Duchess of Atholl sailing on the
fifteenth will take the last of those going home for
Christmas via Glasgow or Liverpool. The sailing of
the Montroyal on the twenty-first is for those to
whom New Year's means more.
Just to illlustrate to what great extent a good
western crop effects industry; one printing establish-
ment was kept busier than usual for some time
printing an extra order of Canadian Pacific travellers
cheques and money orders. These will, an official
said, be sent or carried by homegoers to practically
every quarter of the civilized world Whatever the
world crop conditions may be, the Canadian crop
will be appreciated almost wherever men eat bread,
old England, a city a little smaller
than Victoria but also important hav-
ing as I call it a magnificent ."politi-
cal mill" of great proportions and
mostly of special mention as a world1
capital.
Before arriving at Regina I would,
like to mention the nice little city of
Mobsejaw. I was not here long en-,
ough to find the origin of this strange
sounding name, but it doesn't matter,
it is all right, it has about 20,000 of a
population. I think quite up to date
with some nice buildings,- a good sta-
tion as this is an 'important place • on
the C. P. R. We saw a fine school '
here, showing the fact that the people body can follow and which is devoid

course they are insignificant and don't
stand knee high in church circles, but
they are firing away just the same.

stuff and it came in good on the air,
