A TRIP ON THE PACIFIC
COAST AND IN CANADA.
Victoria, British Columbia. Our
First Stop in the British
Possessions.
OUR TRIP TO VANCOUVER
This City a Revelation and Il Surprise.
Its Advantages and Resources.

The National Editorial Association
left Seattle on July 18th on the steamer
"City Of Pueblo for Victoria. British
Columbia. The journey was made un>
pleasant from the fact that the boat
was very much crowded, but despite
this our experience on the rolling bill
lows was new one, as we went far
enough out to see to realize that we
were near the waters of the old Pacific
sure enough. We awoke on the morn.
ing of July l4th and looked out for the
first time by daylight upon British
North America, which, in area, is
much larger than the United States,
including Alaska. 1t is divided into
provinces. those bordering on the
United States being British Columbia,
Alberta, Assiniboine, Manitoba, Ontario
and Quebec. Victoria, the capital Of
British Columbia, Is n seaport town on
the southern extremity Of Vancouver
Island, which is from forty to seventy
five miles wide and over two hundred
miles long, and is separated from the
mainland by the strait Of Georgia and
Queen Charlotte Sound. British Colum-
bia is from 800 to 500 miles wide and
embraces all the Pacific coast from the
state Of Washington to Alaska. The
south end Of Vancouver Island is rough
and rocky.
Victoria, with its 25,00O population,
Is II quaint but quite aristocratic and
wealthy old city. In the older part
Of the town the streets are crooked and
irregular, and some of them very mar
row. Many Of the business blocks are
largo and we'll built, while others are
small and old.

tile pursuits and the manufacture OF
opium. The writer, with another dele
gate, was taken to visit refugee from
the WRATH Of the Emperor OF China.
He was formerly the advisor TO the
crown in the Flowery Kingdom but mis-
methods savored to strongly Of moral
ity, justice and progress. He was CON-
PEELED to flee to save his life and sought
protection under the British govern
ment. We were accompanied by an
interpreter, and while the late member
of the Chinese cabinet talked freely he
was very guarded in his remarks.
Leaving Victoria in the afternoon we
took passage on British vessel, and
here We wish to quote from Yankee
brother of the editorial crowd who is a
word painter. We will let Mr.. Garret
A. Willard the editor Of the Boom
Vile, New York, Herald take US to
Vancouver:
''Again in the afternoon, on board a
British steamer. we drift away for
another sail through fairylaud, for
fairyland it seemed, this matchless
Gulf OF Georgia. Another afternoon of
pure delight, steaming along under Il
cloudless sky of ethereal blue, past miles
and miles of rocky shore and sandy
beach, where it seems that mans foot
had ever trod. Occasionally II group
OF Indian fishermen were seen, or an
Indian encampment was passed, and
then no sign of life again save the
glimpse Of porpoise in the the wake Of
the boat or a sea bird diving into the
waves for his prey.
Another sunset, with the gorgeous
setting of mountain and sea that in a
painting would seem too brilliant for

The Provincial Capitol building,
completed in 1897 ut cost OF one mil
lion dollars, is y decidedly creditable
structure. II is built Of gray granite,
and its architectural design is modern
and up.to-date. Vancouver Island has
but one railroad, a line 7S miles in
length extending along the eastern side
OF the south end OF the island from
Victoria to Nanaimo. Tho business Of
Victoria depends not little upon ma.
rine interests. Being the last landing
place for outgoing and the first for in.
coming ocean ships leaving or entering
Puget Sound, almost all Of them stop
there, and the visit OF every vessel
means little patronage and its accom-.
panyiug compensation for Victoria.
The climate in Victoria is that OF
South England, so we were told, and
the town is peculiarly English in all its
characteristics. There is not the ever.
lasting rush and nerve tireiug devotion
to enterprise that characterizes the
cities OF the United States. The peo>
pie are indolent and dignifed, not
deigning to stoop to uubecoming hustle
and bustlo. It was brought to our
realization while we were In Victoria
that we were on the threshold Of the
great gold fields Of the Klondike. The
distance from Victoria to Dyea, via
Chilkoot Pass Is 1000 miles, and to
Dawson, via st. Michael, about 1900
miles. People here talk Of the gold
fields as though they we're 'just over
there" ...,
In Victoria ths Chinese population
is very large. This class thrive here,
and prosper and multiply. They have
their schools, their stores, their hotels,
their mercantile houses and carry on
business In . very up.to-date manner.
Many Of these merchants are very
wealthy. One 70 whom VI, were intro

with the silvery moon illumiuing the
mountain tops, still blushing from the
last good night kiss Of the golden orb
Of day, 1t seems that we are floating

Although with bu' a po"ulation not

OF any American city of twice its size.
Over 700 permits for the ""nclion Of
buildings in Vancouver have been
granted this year. Of all the places We
visited on this long and interesting trip
we think Vancouver has the bright
est future, and were we compelled to
select place for future habitatiou we
would select this from the point Of
financial chances.
In the harbors of Vancouver are
merchant ships from every port in the
world, and the cosmopolitan aspect Of
the city from this merchant service is
interesting TO the traveller. At VIC
toria We were given an opportunity to
pay a visit to the British men OF war
at anchorage in the harbor. We were
treated with Il haspitable courtesy by
all the attaches Of the vessels from
the CAPTAIN down to the sailors, which
was a marked contrast to the treatment
afforded us on American vessels. Our
stay in these cities, which loals the flag
of the British empire. was most pleas
ant one, and made US all feel that 1t
can not be so very bad 10 live under
such government If it fosters peace,
happiness and contentment as it was
pictured to us here in the evident signs
of prosperity, which we. under the re-

it on the evening for which he bought

seem to mean that the ticket could be
used at no other time. Probably most
of the public accepts that as proving
the impossibility of making use of the
ticket, and therefore few make any at

from using the ticket on the date mark

have to recognize the holders right to
enter the theater, although that would,
