JULY 21, 1887.

NOTES Ofa Trip to the North West and British ¢olumbia.

The tunnels along that portion of the road which extends from Kamloops to Port Moody are very many and very long. Be- tween Lytton and Port Moody alone, which is 144 miles, we pass threugh 15 tunnels, the longest of which is 1,800 feet, and the others in proportion.

To go through one of these long tunnels on the cow-catcher is something to remem- ber. You are sitting quietly, enjoying the freshness of the morning it may be, as you speed along through a charming bit of country, clad in all the beauty of nature, and resplendent in the bright sunshine. You speculate as to what detour we shall have to make in order to avoid yonder hill. The train seems to be going straight for it, and you begin to wonder where the point of divergence is. By-and-bye it dawns on you that we are going through the hill, and not round it. A little later and you see a small black hule low down on the mountain’s side, a very small hole and very low down. It does not quite strike you yet, but in afew minutes the thought

comes, are we guing in that hole! This train cannot get in there! The train is evidently going to try it, however, and you have to go along with it; so you look

straight ahead until all doubt as to the ca- pacity of the tunnel is removed, With a rush and a roar you plunge from the bright- ness of the morning into the arms of night. The air in the tunnel is cold and clammy, and condensing, falls like rain from the vaulted roof. This continues, getting cold- er and damper as you go on, vatil far in advance you sce a tiny speck of light, which gradually, and then rapidly, grows larger and brighter, until at length you feel the warm air, and see the blessed sun- shine once more.

At one o’cluck we reached Port Moody (2,893 miles from Montreal) and looked out on the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. A large crowd was awaiting us. The usual addresses fullowed, and then the Premier, standing on the platform of his car, ad- dressed the people. [ could not help thinking, as 1 stood beside him, what a triumphant moment it must have been to the man who had conceived and carried to completion, in the face of such enormous difficulties, the great work of the Canadian Pacific Railway. We were at the waters’ edge, and the gentle motion of the waves of the Pacific formed a pleasing accompani- ment to the speaker’s voice. He was stand- ing on the car which had brought him from Ottawa. Inland, outlined against the sky, were the mountains, which had so long barred the way. Not then visible, but none the less real, were the other obstacles of which I knew something-~as | also knew of the speaker’s patient determination and high resolve,—-and here was the accom- plishment of all.

It is a fact worthy of notice that within a few hours of our reaching Port Moody the first ship from Japan ladened with tea ar- rived on our coast.

We remained but a few minutes at Port Moody, taking the steamer almost immedi- ately for Victoria, which is distant some 78 miles. The Princess Louise is a good deal like the boats that ply between Prince Ed- ward Island and the Mainland. We touch- ed at the new city of Vancouver that Pheenix-like has risen from its ashes. The distance between Port Moody and Van- couver is 13 miles. At the time of our visit the railway had not been extended to the latter place, iu consequence of some Port Moody people having obtained an in- junction from the Courts restraining the Canadian Pacific Railway trom going _be- yond their town—the contention being that Port Moody is fixed by statute as the ter- minus of the road, and that the railway cannot go beyond the spot at which the law says it shall terminate. The Canadian Pacific Railway say that they are authoriz-

ed to build branches anywhere, and that the line to Vancouver isa branch. The matter has since been decided in favor of

and trains are now running into Vancouver.

Considering the town was totally consum- ed by fire on the 13th June last, the energy of the inhabitants is indeed phenomenal. It looked on the 24th July almost restored, and several hundred houses are again to be seen. Near the shore, stands a huge cedar in solitary grandeur. It was spared at the personal solicitation of the Princess Louise and forms a conspicious land mark. I am sorry to say that it received a severe scorch-

jing at the late fire.

Ever since we descended the Selkirks 1 have been struck by the extraordinary growth of the timber.. For miles about Revelstoke, the road passes through most valuable timber limits, principally red cedar, of great height and remarkable straightness. 1 am told there is scarcely a knot in it, andthe wood splits with per- fect eveness. It is said to be admirably adapted for furniture.

Shortly after leaving Vancouver we dis- cerned the snow-capped peak of Mount Baker, in Washington Territory, standing yut above the horizon like a pyramid of very white cloud—whiter than auy cloud and more sharply defined. It is distant from the spot were we sawit, many, I should say nearly 100 miles, and was to me a novel and beautiful sight. Mount Baker is 10,684 feet above the level of the sea.

We arrived at Victoria shortly after 10 p.m. As we steamed up the harbour the strains of the ‘Red, White and Biue”’ yreeted us from over the water and sounded very prettily. the wharf, and on our landing, fine torchlight procession through principal streets, which were thronged by numbers of enthusiastic people. In due time we reached the hotel. I was very glad

soon far down the St. Lawrence River in ithe world of dreams.

Next morning being Sunday, the first thing after breakfast was to look for the churches. I found the Catholic Church near,—a plain but neat little building where the service was nicely rendered. It is dedi- cated under the invocation of St. Andrew, , Whose picture in life-size overhangs the altar. I learned afterwards that the Arch- bishop is absent on a missionary tour in Alaska. He had just started on his jour- ney and did not expect to be back for two years. He and all his priests are Belgians. Those I heard, spoke English with ease. There seemed to be no poor in the congre- gation, which was composed entirely of very respectably dressed people, and I noticed the collection plates held nothing but silver and few pieces smaller than a quarter dollar. I had not then been initiated into the mysteries of the Pacific currency, and knew nothing of “bits,” nor of the con- tempt entertained for copper coins.

After Mass, I took a short walk about the town, and came to the conclusion that it is not unlike Charlottetown—about the same size,the same style of wooden buildings,and very dusty.

Our hotel—the ** Driard,” was on the whole a comfortable one—nice, serupul- ously clean rooms and good table. They are a little lacking, however, in some par- ticulars. For instance, they had but two bathrooms for the whole house—and those two adjvin. When one considers that the hotel contains 250 guests, the provision in this respect seems inadequate.

AsI had seen no water, except for my face and hands, fora week, { was, as the late Editor ot the Mail would say, * sadly in need of a bath; ” so 1 made the foregoing discovery early on the morning after my arrival, and by patient watching and wait- ing in a corridor at the end of the house, farthest trom my room, at length I got my turn.

The weather, as 1 was led to expect, is simply charming. It is bright and warm in the day, and beautifully evol in the even- ing—never hot and never very cold. it scarcely ever rains in the summer, though it makes up for this deficiency in the fall and winter, if one may call December, Jan- uary and February by such a name in a couutry where flowers bloom nearly the whole year round—where there is never more than a week’s snow, and where the thermometer rarely fails below 20 degrees of frost. ;

The surroundings of fine. Beacon Hili, a favorite resort, is a pretty, natural park adjoining the city. From it is to be had a charming view of the Straits of Fuca and of the Olympian range of mountains in Washington Territory be- yond. These lovely hills, standing out against the blue sky, look exquisite in their white robes, or rather, crowns of snow. | One large —glacier 1 suppose it is in real- |ity—is called *‘ The Angel's Gate,” a pretty land suggestive name. ‘hese mountains are {much further off than they appear. I be-

ieve the Straits are 30 miles broad, and the mountains at least 30 miles from the oppo- site shore, though one would faney they rose from the water's edge. ; :

To the left, clearly outlined against the sky, is Mount Baker, which I found visible wherever we went in Southern British Columbia. When I saw it first, from the |deck of the steamer, it was midday, and |] jlikened it toa very white cone. But when il saw it on Beacon Hill the sun was low down, and its rays tinged the beautiful white color with a still more beautiful pink, reminding one of the delicate hue of the Mayflower. Nothing attracted me during my visit more than this lovely moun- tain, and no view seemed complete if clouds or, any other intervening obstacle hid it from our sight,

On my first visit to Beacon Hill, which, like Point Pleasant at Halifax, has the sea on two sides, I bathed my face and hands in the sea water to be able to say I had bathed in the Pacitic Gcean. I believe nobody, or few about Victoria, bathe in the literal sense of the world, the water being tov cold. This, in view of the singularly mild climate, appears strange, but it is true nevertheless. It appears that the im- mense volume of glacial water which flows into the Straits of Fuca from the Olympian range, keeps the temperature of the water very low.

Another reason is dread of the octopus, a hideous monster which frequents these waters in great numbers. I believe they are also found on the Atlantic coast, though | never remember having seen one; but in British Columbia wacers they abound. It is a sort of cuttle fish, with eight immense tentacles, each of which is covered with suckers, and tc the person around whom these dreadful arms are thrown.

I saw a dead specimen exposed to view in

Victoria. Its tentacles were eight feet long. It looked not unlike a gigantic

spider, and altogether was what Mr. Man- talini would call ‘ta demd, racist, unplea- sant corpse.”

1 svoke of Point Pleasant ago in describing Beacon Hill. This leads o say that Victoria, like Halifax, has an arm of the sea running up from the har- bor several miles to within afew hundred yards of Esquimault Harbur. It is called ‘* The Arm,” and i; a favorite resort in the summer evenings.
