IlcI oiSb0l, MISS NJ mdTSdTeb M MOfU6nSOn
and Miss Brinmer, neice of the groom,
and was given away by her father.
The groom was attended by his
brother, Mr.. Robert Carr. About
forty invited guests, of friends who
had gone from the east and friends
of both parties, who lived in and
about San Francisco, were present.
The day following the bride and
groom departed on the Japanese
steamer for Honolulu, and were given
most royal and enthusiastic fare
well. The bride and groom will con-
tinue to make Chicago their home
after their return in October.
After the wedding in San Francisco
we spent some time visiting this
wonderful city that has arisen TO
such wonderful proportions since the
ruins of the earthquake of five years
ago. 1t is one of the most modern
and beautiful cities in the world. We
were greatly interested in visiting it's
Notifications about the golden gate,
with its hundreds of mammoth guns,
its battleships, and its submarine
fortificatjons. We did not see how
any opposing feet could ever prevail
against these Notifications. We visited
the grounds that are now in prepara-
tion for the Panama exposiS lacc AIS,
and TIE present indications are that
they will be something unusually
magnificent. From San Francisco we
took the Shasta route for Portland,
spending several hours in view of
great Mount Shasta, which DIR.
Francis E. Clark, of Christian En-
deavor fame, and who has Travelled
over six hundred thousand miles in
the last twenty-five years, pronounces
the most beautiful mountain in the
world. We pass along through the
rich valleys of the Sacramento and up
through the rich fruit country of
Oregon, and Through the great forests
of redwood, that still awaits the
manufacture, and appreciate that
this is yet to be perhaps the choicest
part of the United States.
Portland is a city of beauty and
enterprise, and here we had the op-
portunity of visiting for time, with
the family of Mr.. Dan Altenberg and
Mr.. Sam Meseryey. Both are en-
thusiastic Portlandites, and we do
not wonder at it. Going on from
Portland we travel to Seattle, where
we spent some days. This is city of
wonderful enterprise, which claims
today to be the metropolis of the
northwest, and has outgrown all the
other cities in size and has business
center, and which has grown, since
my visit there twenty-one years ago,
from a city of fifty thousand to three
hundred thousand.
As we are to return over the Cana
dian Pacific railway we spend most
delightful day at Puget Sound, max
ing our way northward, stopping at
Victoria and Vancouver. There is
no more beautiful ride in the world
than this steamer trip, up through
the straits and the hundreds of is
lands; the day was ideal in its bright
ness and calmness, and one finds the
best of accommodations on these
Canadian Pacificsteamers. | suppose
that many who have never visited
the coast, think of it, as | formerly
did, as big place out west. And
indeed it is, for the distance that we
cover from Long Beach, in southern
California, to Vancouver, just over
the line On the north, is distance as
far as from Duluth to New Orleans,
or over fifteen-hundred miles. We
travelled about five hundred miles
| from Los Angeles to San Francisco,
seven hundred and seventy miles to
Portland, one hundred and eighty
miles to Seattle, and oae hundred
and sixty seven miles to Vancouver.

This 62S my third visit TO the
coast, but l had never been over the
Canadian Pacific, and desirous of
seeing the Canadian Rockies, we re-
turned this way, and | am frank to
say that in all my travels, both in
America and Europe, l have never
seen more wonderful scenery, and my
Judgment is that the Canadian Paci-
tic will long be known as the scenic
route of the world. just to mention
few points of interest. We spent a
night at Field, little village at the
foot and almost under Mt. Stephen,
where it towers nearly perpendicular
more than mile above the hotel,
and other mountains crowd closely
about it nearly as high. In leaving
this place for the east we Wind ouI
