1t seems more like a river
always winding and turning
one never sees far ahead.
The Southern or lower
part Of the lake the mountains
are not very high and there
are beautiful fruit ranches and
summer homes which are only
reached by water.
The steam boat carries the
mail going up one day and re
turning the next. All have
their row boats and some have
gasoline launch. The farther
up the lake the higher the
mountains until one Is appalled,
with the magnitude of those
massive walls of granite tow
ering four to five thousand feet
and covered with perpetual
snow. Now and then a tiny
stream of water comes dashing
down from some hidden lake or
glacier and is lost in the lake.
Beyond the lake the canon
contin ues very much the same
only il has a dense growth of
large trees made more beauti-
full by an under growth of ferns
and Towering shrubs, the wild
syringa, mountain Laural,
Washingtons plume and vari-
GUS others.
Mid this beautiful verdure
one hears the mighty roar of
cataract and soon is near
enough to see the Rain Bow
Fa lis where a narrow stream
of water in two mighty bounds
falls three hundred and forty
feet. The spray can be felt
S everal hundred feet away.
A great many people from

Yet the most fluent writer's are
able to convey only a vague
idea of the grandeur of noun.

One of the many mar"els tC
me after hard days climbing
(on horseback) is to find quite
level tracks of clear land call
ed meadows which are as green
as any Of your lawns and
beautified by clear running
streams and as great variety
Of bright flowers as one would

den.
Our camp is situated in a
grove Of tall spruce trees and
we can look out on one of these
meadows and can always hear
the ripping of a tiny little
brook. All around this in the
timber are numerous banks OF
snow AS | write | am within
six inches of snow and am
very comfortable in the shade.
1t is very warm in the sun.
l see now why it is possible
to gather flowers in reach of
S now. The snow begins falling
the first of Sept. before the
ground has had chance to
freeze, therefore the vegetation
is so protected it is ready to
grow and bloom as soon as the
sun light reaches it. There is a
kind of grass green and tender
makes its appearance through
six or eight inches of snow.
There is frost every morning
but the vegetation seems none
the worse Of it.
Here no one has no need of
ice or cellar. The fresh meat
a nd fish are kept in cold stor
age by digging a hole in the
snow and covering it over.
There is small lake not far
from camp where trout fishing
is fairly good. My first attempt

are no snakes or bugs to bother
us, but mosquitoes by the
million every place, and to
have any peace d:ring the day
one must sit in the smoke so
imagine our compilations sun
burn, smoke and mosquito
bites. Considering that is the
only ohjectional feature of
a pleasant summer outing we
shouldn't complain.
Travelling by rail is more
pleasant than going over mar

forests and stopping when and

Something new is ever pre-.
senting its self. One looks
a head and sees a high peak
which looks as if it would be
the highest yet after long
toilsome climb that point is
reached there are others still
higher and rougher and the
amatuer tourist looks back with
a sickening dizziness over the

In the Heart of the Woods,

ouch peautiful things III the heart of the woods .
= Flowers and ferns. and the soft green moss:
such love of the birds. in the solitudes
Where the swift wings glance and the treetops
toss;
spaces OF silence swept with song
Which nobody hear, but the God above:
spaces where myriad creatures thrOng
summing themselves in His guarding love.
eqch safety and peace in the heart of the woods,
I ar from the city's dust and din
Where passion nor hate of man intrudes
Nor fashion nor folly ha, entered in
Deeper than hunters tail hath gone,
Hiimmers the tarn where the wild deer drink
ana fearless and free comes the gentle fawn
To peep at herself Ger the grassy brink.
Such pledge of love in the heart of the woods.
For the Maker Of all things keeps the feast
And over the tiny fowerlet broodr
with care that for ages has never ceased
II He cares for this will He not for thee
Thee, wherever thou art to-day?
Ihlld OF infinite Father see:
And safe in such gentlest keeping STAY.
