PACIFIC C O A S T TOURS

T H E R E are many attractive routes to the Pacific

Coast, but every traveller should select theCanadian Pacific i f he wishes h is tour to

e m b r a c e themostinterestingandremarkabledisplay o f mountain scenery to be found anywhere inthe world.

From Montreal and Toronto, through trains are op-erated to Winnipeg and Vancouver, or, i f desired, theCompany's splendid Great Lakes Steamships may beused between Owen Sound or Sault Ste. Marie and FortWilliam. T h e r e is also direct train service from Mon-treal to St. Paul and Minneapolis, via Sault Ste. Marie.

From, or through Chicago, passengers make connec-tion at the Union Station in St. Paul with the followingexcellent through trains of the Soo-Canadian Pacific:

THROUGH T H E C A N A D I A N ROCKIES

F O L L O W I N G a stretch of rolling wheat-bearing

prairie land, the route winds for some distancethrough the foothills, before plunging into thefastnesses o f the mighty Rockies. T h e n fo r

over s i x hundred miles a continuous panorama o f 'bewildering magnificence i s presented, which n o pencan adequately describe. Wondrous glacial f ields,startling precipices, snow-capped peaks, wide forestareas, clear lakes, and peaceful valleys combine i nenchanting array.

That "there is not a dull or uninteresting momentall the way" is the testimony of every one who has madethe journey.

The Canadian Rockies are the scenic climax of themighty Rocky Mountains, called " t h e backbone o fAmerica." T o the northward they gradually diminishin height until the Arctic Circle is reached. Southwardthey lack that ruggedness and glacial beauty whichgive them their attractiveness to the lovers o f Alpinescenery.

The New York Tribune says : " I t is not generallyknown that within four days' journey of New York Citythere are waiting for the sightseer and scientific investi-gator some of the grandest and most impressive glacialstreams i n the world. No th ing in Switzerland i s t o

be found more beautiful than the glaciers of the CanadianRockies and Selkirks, and one of the chief attractions ofthe trip is the fact that one may journey there and backin civilized luxury, and while enjoying the scenes, at thevery 'noses' o f the wonderful glaciers themselves, maybe comfortable and remain i n close touch wi th thewldor ."

While even a hurried trip through the Rockies is anexperience never to be forgotten, a leisurely exploration

BANFF

BANFF, t h e gateway t o t h e CanadianNational Park, i s the chief objective pointfor tourists, and without a peer as a holidayresort. T h e scenery in the vicinity is incom-parably grand and diversified. Mounta in peaksurmounts mountain peak ; rock lies piled uponrock; rushing waters and lakes, like gems amongthe roughness, give color to the scene. Charm-ingly situated on the south bank o f the BowRiver, near the mouth o f the Spray, is BanffSprings Hotel o f the Canadian Pacific HotelSystem, which ranks among the finest foundanywhere.

LAKE LOUISE

Of the beauty o f LAKE LOUISE thereis n o divided opinion ; every visitor t o i t sshores sings its praises, and i t is acknowledgedby the most competent judges to be one o fthe great masterpieces i n Nature's picturegallery. A s a gem o f composition and color-ing i t has no rival. Green, blue and purpleshadows, and red-brown cliffs mix and melt.

Diverging f rom the main l ine o f the CanadianPacific at Dunmore, an attractive alternative route isoffered to the Pacific Coast via the Crow's Nest Branch,through the great ranching districts of Southern Albertaand the vast mining regions of the Kootenay; thence byway of Nelson, the Columbia River, and Arrow Lakesto Revelstoke, where the main line is joined for con-tinuance o f trip, as already described. T h i s rai l andwater route, combining the fascinating beauty of valley,lake and mountain, appeals strongly to tourists becauseof its varied general attractiveness.

Traveling one way via the Canadian Rockies, thetrip through the Kootenay i n the reverse directionmakes a particularly attractive and enjoyable tour.

ST. PAUL-SPOKANE-PORTLANDTHROUGH SERVICE

Another route is by the Crow's Nest Line via Kings-gate and Spokane t o Portland. A t Kingsgate t heInternational Boundary is crossed and the l ine thenruns through a country remarkable for its scenic attract-iveness a n d wonderfully r i ch bo th i n mining andagriculture.

SP0KANE, WASH., is the commercial metropolis o fthe "Inland Empire," and a good example of the pro-gressive western c i ty. I t has many f ine buildings,parks and pleasant driveways.

Continuing from Spokane the route lies through ahighly productive wheat and grain country. Crossingfrom Washington into Oregon, the valley of the Colum-bia is followed, and that majestic stream is seldom outof sight of the railway for the remainder of the journey.

PORTLAND, appropriately designated as the "RoseCity," is beautifully situated near the confluence of theWillamette and Columbia rivers, in the midst of a richagricultural country. I t is a thoroughly modern ci tywith well-kept streets, handsome business buildingsand dwellings. T h e climate is pleasant and healthful.

TO C A L I F O R N I A

From Portland t o San Francisco the picturesqueShasta route of the Southern Pacific or the San Franciscoand Portland Steamship Company may be used; f romVictoria or Seattle, steamers of the Pacific Coast Steam-ship Company maintain a regular service to San Fran-cisco.
