of the Government rest log cabins that dot
all parts of the park
In these cabins are tin stoves axes and
water buckets All are. of course, built in
proximity to water for the fire wardens
who may have to camp in them for weeks
Telephones connect all the cabins with Jas

self in greater comfort than under tent

ants cavort over us in millions before we
would have budged That wasn't it. The
log had been ripped freshly open-very
freshly not ten minutes before we came
you could see the great claw marks like the
steel teeth of garden rake; and right In
the trail dust and muck mould were the
marks Of a giant palm with the fingers of a
great hand-the tracks of bear we had
disturbed at his breakfast, and doubtless he
was watching from cover of the windfall
where the little squirrel was going into fits
of fury
We didn't wait to thank that squirrel
We beat it.; and we followed the tracks of
that bear clear down to the main road two
miles, and three more miles in the dust of
the main road right into the Y. NJ. C. A.
camp, where the rascal had invaded the cook
tent the night before and stolen all the
bacon and the contents Of the apricot pot.
The bear brings up lot of questions from
in Jasper.
As to fear OF wild animals while you
sleep, forget 1t! Don't put your grub" bag
in your tent, but cache It in trees where It
can't be reached; and the smell of the fire
will fill animal. marauders with as much
desire to avoid you as you have to avoid
them. A few such nights, knowing you are
safe, and you will realize the sense of fear
which is one of the most destructive factors
of health--is one of the first things outdoor
life cures.

What 1t Costs to Make
A Trip to Jasper Park

How much will il cost? Just what you
make it cost plus your fare from whatever
point you start-from $125 to $3.50 for re-
turn fare from Atlantic coast cities. less
from the middle West. At the camp, or
tent cities from SIS TO $21 week: in the
cabins. where you cook your own meals just
what you make 1t, from 81 to $40 a week
Horse hire is extra, of course. You can
build a log cabin of your own with veranda
and slide windows and sailor berth beds for
5000, or a three room cabin for 5000. Motors
pass the door every day.
As to equipment, dress just as you would
dress to play round your own farm or dig
In your own garden or play golf! You don't
need to advertise the fact you are a terrible
guy by coming out loaded like an arsenal
or garbed like a sporting shops wax man
or woman In the window. The camper Is
like the soldier-his well being depends on
his feet and his stomach--so remember these
special requirements.
Silk may be preferable underwear for
gentle usage, but it is menace in camp. 1t
retains moisture and will give you rheuma-
tism. Wear wool or half wool, or balbrig-
gan. The dressing gown you don at night
should be warm and have n high rolling
collar, for where the winds come down from
the SHOWS you will have crck in your
neck unless you place something between
your bare neck and the pillow.
Should you wear boomers. skirts or
what?
Whatever you have found suits you best
but in this big timber country only a hard
twilled, resistant surface like n hired mans
blue jumpers or child's rompers will resist
tho catch and snare OF those stabblng under
branches
I admit the matter Of camp bed that Is
comfortable. especially II you have pitched
tent near the upper SHOWS or in n valley
where the chilled mists lie at night, is dif-
fcut unless you know how TO do It.: and not
one camp outfitter In ten knows how to do IT,
Nothing but fur below and above will keep
you warm In such quarters. Therefore n big
rug is the first requirement. The second is
in the build of your bed. If the ground Is
damp-you cannot always choose your
camping ground-the first layer of the big
branches to give spring to your bed should
not be less than two three feet deep and
note well-for here lies the great secret-the
branch end must be at the outer edge of the
bed the soft foliage ends overlapping ex-
actly In the middle where you lie. On top
of this should be eighteen inches OF the
softeet finest branches in foliage you can
find No cot bed can equal this for comfort.
for the simple reason no cot bed mattress
can keep out the cold Of midnight

Various Ways for the Tourist
To Reach Northern Playground

Jasper is some thirty-eight to forty hours
west from Winnipeg but you can reach 1t
even quicker by cross cutting from Chicago
diagonally through st. Paul TO Moose Jaw.

tional railroads. when you can drop Off at
Wainwright en- route. and catch the next
train to go on to Jasper. one nights travel

The Buffalo Park has an area of 260
square miles, fenced in by high netted wire,
as the frontiersmen say: Hog proof, bull
strong and horse high" Across the park
some other fence lines separate the cows
and their wabbly babies from the main herd,
the young elk from the big males and
mothers, and If possible to keep out the
hungry coyotes Good motor roads run all
through the park.
Jasper Village is only mountain hamlet

When 1 first began to camp in the Banff

Rockies. twenty years ago, fewer than 5000
tourists a year came into those regions.
Last year more than $4,000 American tour

to set aside for a perpetual playground of

OF snowy peaks and emerald lakes and cat

OF the most majestic Rockies.
Right where the pass opened through the
wall of the mountains TO the headwaters of
both the Columbia and the Fraser one old
fur trader bearing the name Of Jasper Hawse
and possessing a great thatch of yellow hair
and yellow beard paused to exchange canoes
for horses and dogs to go through the pass.
On the other side of the pass he paused
again to exchange dogs and horses for
canoes to descend to the Pacific. While he
paused he built cabins for fur trade.
The new fur post became known as Jasper
House, and the pass the Indians called yell
low Head after the fur trader All this was
between 1895 and 1910. Later came a whole
procession of the old fur trade worthless.
