We stayed here just long enough
to want to come again, and were
hurried away on a ferry to North
Vancouver and up, up, and away
up the side of a mountain in a
logging train, right up from sea
level, mind you, to a lumber cam p
in the mountains, where we saw a
giant fir felled. As it came down,
slowly it seemed, we could only
gasp. One lady cried, for it had
taken SO lcng to grow that tree;
and another almost tainted.
Sometimes the company needs a
huge stump. 200 feet high, to use
as a guy pole with derricks for
lifting logs that are FIVE feet or
more thru fifty feet from the base,
and so. for our benefit, they had
the top cut out of gigantic spruce.
An italian lumberman climbed the
tree, and, while we watched him,
chopped out the top which was
about IS feet high. Then he sat
on the top of this stump. some
stump, up there between heaven
and earth, and lighted cigarette.
He then climbed down and shook
hands with us. These were two
of the real thrills on the way.
At the lumber camp we had one
of the best meals on the trip, and
were told that this was what the
boys get every day.
Then we were hustled by boat
down to Seattle, and did not see
Canada again until twelve wonder
full days in the states where the
convention was held, ending in
Victoria, British Columbia.
There in Victoria on Vancouver
Island, as large as Massachusetts,
is the Empress hotel-another of
those hostelries tor which Canada
must be famous, and in the ball
room we elected officers, after a
very proper reception in the
beautiful parliament buildings,
for Victorin is the capital of Brit
ish Columbia, you know. You
may admire the rest of them-the
vivid, hurrying cities of the west
but Victoria, with it's 10000 popu-
lation, with its hedges and its
roses and it's traditions Victoria
the most English city in America,
is a place you'll lose your heart to
from the first. When you come
you'll want to stay, as do many
retired folks who love the kindly
beauty. And when you leave
well there's always a next time.

A Few of the Wonderful Things
We Saw on Our Canadian Tour

The ride from Edmonton to the
Rockies changed gradually from
beautiful farming country to
burned-over scrubby pines. Along
here the rails of over 300 miles of
a competing line of railway were
shipped to France when the gov
ernment took over the railways
They were needed in the emer.
gency.
At Jasper Park we entered the
Rockies, and found ourselves in a
mighty wonderland The little
lake at Jasper possessed all the
colors of the rainbow in ever
changing combinations. Our
party were taken up in wagons OF
horseback from the village laid
out by the government, about two
miles along the lake to spot where
we made our lunch on barbecued
buffalo-one of the herd we had
seen at Wainwright. We ate in a
tent, and it was great experience
for those who had never before
been to a barbecue. Cinnamon
attended to the cooking. The Do
minion park commission extended
this courtesy.
Re-entering our train. in which
we became very well acquainted
and made some wonderfully good
friends, especially in our car, where
the folks seemed like neighbors
on our street, we went to Lake
Lucerne, where we parked for the
night, so as not to miss any of the
marvellous scenery. There is no
big hotel at either Of these places,
but leave it to Canada-there will
be. AS this was Sunday, we had
held long service at Jasper Park !;
and at Lucerne an American
woman opened her little home to
US, and we sang with her piano,
after preaching by one Of our par
ty, and prayer by another.
We went thru an 800. foot tun-
lei the next morning, the first of
many, ranging in length up to five
miles.
We passed Mount Robson, the
highest and most majestic peak
of the Canadian Rockies, rising to
an altitude of l3,0S7 feet, the top
which is covered with perpetual
snow and glaciers. Back bit we
had viewed Mount Edith Cavill, a
mountain renamed for the plucky,
martyred English nurse,
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1919-09-26

AS we came south, farms appear
ed again. even though in the
mountains, and at Kamloops we
came to peach and apple coun-
try. where the winters are very
mild We parked here for the
night, and walked over to shift
less Indian village. The Indians
own some of the very best land,
which, if irrigated would be very
valuable. But they simply will
not farm their grants, and the gov
ernment is trying to get back the
land to give it to soldiers.
We meandered at our own pace
down into the valley thru the scenic
Thompson and Fraser canyons,
stopping at Hell's Gate, stopping
to see Suspension bridge, stop
ping to see Indians fishing and
drying salmon, stopping to see
where train bandit had hidden
for months. We had a movie show
and dance with our train phono-
graph supplying the music in the
station at Boston Bar, an old mi
ing camp, and parked there for the
night.
We passed thru ever SO many
towns, and. emerging from that
tremendous canyon we finally
reached Vancouver, the Pacific
gateway to Canada. Do not con-
fuse this city of 10000 popula-
ton with the island of the same
name. The city is on the main-
land. 1t was Incorporated in 1885
but was completely destroyed by
FIRE the same year. SO the present
wonder city is really only "a years
old. We don't know how to tell
you about the hotel Vancouver.
1t seems to cover a block, and is
pile Of wings of differing heights
and we can't tell how many rooms
it has, but you would wonder how
the boss himself keeps from get
ting lost. You can sit on the roof
garden with the soft Pacific wind
ruff1ing the blue inlet, and with
the bright, new city spread at
your feet. Ships from the Orient
come laden with tea and silks;
ships from Australia; tramps from
around the Horn; gay, coastwise
passenger boats and busy motor
launches, and over all, that brilli-
ant sun that has always made
Vancouver call herself the city of
hope preferred.

Comparatively few of us know of
the care and attention given to Friend
Melon, from the time he is plucked to
the moment he invites our attention
at our table.
The Brawloy fields in California av-
erage $50 cars of melons day during
the cantaloupe season, and the melon
season lasts about fifty days. Thou

We'd like to tell you about the
second largest observatory on the
continent placed there because of
peculiar atmospheric conditions.
We really should tell you about
the superbly beautiful private
garden fifteen miles ont of Vic
toria where we saw the purple and
the gold star fish in salt water
and the tame trout in fresh water,
and where we had tea. But that
will have to be later story. The
climate is more delightful and
mild there than in Vancouver,
where the thermometer has not
fallen below zero in ten years.

Another IA Points

Here are II points against the
ratification of the peace treaty:
1. The Shantung provision is in
ternational piracy, bringing dis
honor to any nation party to it.
2. Great Britain is given six
votes to America one, without
justification in reason.
3. By entering the league Amer
ica would abandon her traditional
policy of n-interference in Eur
opean affairs.
4. The Monroe Doctrine would
be subject to Interpretation by the
league council, as asserted by Brit
ish officials without contradiction.
5. The United States would be
bound to maintain armies In
Europe to regulate purely Euro
pean affairs.
6. Our constitutional provision
that Congress shall have power to
raise armies would be violated.
7. Domestic questions, such as
immigration, tariff and coastwise
trade, will come within the juris-
diction of the league if the foreign
council so decides.
s. insignificant nations, like
Liberia, Hedjaz, ETC., would have
voting power in the assembly
equal with the United States.
9. The United States would be
bound to perserve the territorial
integrity and political indepen.
dcnce of every member of the
league, many of them monarchies
10. By bringing the charge
that it involves a threat of war
any nation could require the
United States to submit any ques-
ton to the league for decision.
IL. Article 23, requiring free
transit and equitable treatment Of
commerce, could be constructed
to forbid protective tariffs.
IL. America, industrially and
financially strong. would become
the burden bearer of the world.
13 The league covenant obi.
gates the United States to give
full and frank information con-
cerning industries adaptable to
war-like purposes, thus putting
American industry at disadyant-
age, since most important indus
tries are of such character.
IA. America has nothing to gain
and much to lose by entering the
league.-Colorado State Republi-

Sensible View of Health.

II sound mind and rational habits

and if nature anaided can cure most
OF our durable ills, life is a fairer deal
Tor all of us than it has sometimes
seemed. OF course. it is not so easy
ms 1t sounds TO put fear and worry,
narrowing love affairs and destructive
emotions-hatred and envy-out Of

1t ourselves. Doctors cannot do it for

Lawyer Evidently Was Well Ae-
quainted With the Weakness OF
His Long MINDED Friend.

C. II. Murphy relates the story Of a
Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his lopg-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight, when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered !:
Cant you stop him, Jack?'
"T'll stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
"My Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me at the no
tel in a bumper of rare old Bourbon. =
The lawyer halted in the midst of
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
"And now, may 1t please the court
and gentlemen of the jury, leave the
case with YOU"
A minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion in the direction of the
hotel bar.
