A Vancouver
Vacation
(By James Aiken)

Going from st. Paul to Van
couver involves a three days rail-
road ride, but the last thirty
hours of it affords thrills enough
to make the entire journey
worth while. Am assuming that
the trip will be the direct route
over the 500 and Canadian Pa
cific lines, and during the season
when the glaciers and gaunt
peaks are at their best-in the
late summer or fall. | came in
August, but September is per
haps better, when the Alpine
SHOWS dress the main range in
virgin white. From Minnesota
to near Calgary, it was quite
obvious that dry winds or lack
of rain had reduced the wheat
harvest, the fields being light
and poor stand as a rule.
Through Alberta and British
Columbia the grain looked much
better.
From Calgary westward there
develops a series of mountain
climbing features that make
amends for the comparative
monotony Of the thousand miles
or more across the plains.
The interest begins when the
two powerful Notwithstanding
engines follow the general course
up the Bow river to Banff, Lake
Louise and on to the great d.
vide, where the waters of an
other river system runs to the
Pacific. The valleys Of the Bow,
the Thompson and the Fraser
open up ver-changing canyons
and vistas Of alps towering high
er and higher until Mount Sill
Donald, near Glacier, sets the
high mark for all. Just east 81
