commands a glorious view OF Paradise
Valley, long valley between some Of
the highest mountains of the range. In
hollow Of Mount Temple opposite q
deep blue lake sends back dancing CLEANS
in the sunlight, while the valley stream
winds like mere silver thread at the
base of the precioice. The valley Is q
sort Of thoroughfare to reach number
OF other interesting points and is IA
vor1te camping ground. for many Of these
Trips cannot be made In one day.
Possibilities for q Vacation.
In one week one can become filled with
an 1neradicable desire to see more Of the
mountains, get ones lungs well filled with
stimulating ozone that will set one'a
heart to pumping vigorously, develop ap
amazing appetite, and store ones mind
sharpened by reflection, reading and the
eager study Of all the available illustra-
tions one can find. In a month one can
see pretty nearly all the sights of the
well-beaten track at Banff, Laggan, Field
and Glacier, make few really big climbs,
do little exploring, II ones taste lies IN
that direction, and manage a few short
camping trips that are delight and al
most a necessity in seeing some of the
places conveniently and without undue
haste.

Fred M. Gordon, W. e. Jones, Miss Belle

ma; Mrs. e. c. Ruscoe, Florence M. Cole,
st. Paul: Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Hoyt, Miss

Mr. Gleason's Mountain Studies.
One Of the pleasantest experiences OK
the trip was q chance meeting with Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert w. Gleason, now Of
Boston, but until recently Minneapolis
residents. They are returning visitors,
for Mr.. Gleason spent several months last
summer In the mountains making a set
OF splendid photographs and gathering lit
erary material. This work he is continue
ing this summer. His lecture on the
mountains, illustrated by his own slides,
was given in the spring before the Appa-
laohian club in Boston, to which many Of
the leading mountain climbers Of the
country belong. For this reason Boston
anpreciatea more fully than any other
section the beauties and delights that tho
mountains Of the continental watershed
have to offer, and this city and New Eng
| land send stream of visitors dispropro-
| tionately large. In return for their en-
| joyment Of the mountains they have car
| ried on an enthusiastic propaganda among
their friends, yearly increasing the num-
Der Of visitors.
