Irhe following is a letter received by
Chas. Burkhart a few days since, from
BiS. Deign [Day], who recently sold
his farm south of town and set out lor
lhe North-west:
| Vancouver, B. C, May, 1909.
Mr. Chas. Burkhart,
3      Saline, Michigan.
Dear Sir: _
*       I now, at this point, will comply
wjtb your request to write, and in  a
limited way atk-mpt to give you a pen
picture of a trip over  the  Canadian
Pacific Bailroad west.   Prom St. Paul,
Minnesota, I took  the Soo line  west;
at Portal, North Dakota, ■ we crossed
the line into Canada,    Sa3kaichewan
Province, where one's b'srjrKge is seal
ed oi"   looked  into .[fortunately. I  was
overlooked]     The most desolate gpjjr
forsaken country X bypr savy i§ Basket
chewan   province,  Canada,   as far as
tlie eye popld see irgya a ffiovjpg trail*..
Qur first sfpp v?as MRP»e Jaw. popular
tion 9flpQ.    The name is an abridgement pf the Indian namf*. wbich liter,
ally transited, -is,   "The creak-where
the while inun-na«nded tha-eart-with^a
moose jaw-bone "    Next is  Swift Current, population 1300,  a railway divisional point.    Swift Current is in Alberta Province and is in the center of
a very large agricultural district,  the
soil is particularly adapted for grain
farming.     Third,  Medicine Hot, Al-
bei ta, papulation 6600, on account of
the immense fiow of natural gag and
other advantages,   Rut}yarfj   Jppljng
christened if "T^e towp, that W«S horn
lucky.''    |t issituiitgd in the valley of
the South Saskatchewan river and is
the center of a magnificent ranching
and mixed farming district, large railroad shops operated by natural gas,
the snow fall feere Is' lighter and the
winter shorter than anywhere east of
the .Rooky   Mountains   lu    Canada.
Some of the largest herds of Galloway
cattle are to be  seen  there.     Fourth,
Calgary,  Alberta,   population  220,500,
is charmingly situated on  a hill-girt
plateau,   overlooked    by   the    white
peaks of the R ickies     It is the center
of the trade  of the  northern   part   of
the great ranching country, and chief
g;*ur-!e*of  supply   for. the  mining district.    At CanMai-f, Alberta, ar** large
coal mines,   a .-trikiug  profile of the
three sister?,' the ihird or further'!*
south   rising  to  an  altitude, of   9743
feet.    "Five miles heyond Can.Vlare th«
Rocky Mountain NMlional Park  is entered,  Bauff,  a   station  for Canadian
National Park and'Hot Springs.    This*
park is a National Reservation of 513,2
square mile*, embracipg ^aiits of the
valleys of the Bow, Spray'and Cascade
rivers, Lake Miune'wauka and several
noble  mountain   ranges,   and  beyond
the "Devide,"'   lhe Y^'ho valley and
the country to the west and south of-
it, the park is the   largest   in   the
world, being nearly half as large again
as the famous Yellowstone Park in the
States.    The railroad station at Bauii
is in  lhe midst of  impressive mountains.    The huge mass  northward is
Cascade  Mountains [9825  feet];   past-
ward is  Mount Ingli.irjjqlflie,  a|)d  the
heights of the pa'iphflljne Sub-range,
behind which-lies Lake  Mlnnewauka;
just before  reaching the station the
train-passes along a large corril of 80p/
acres in which are a number of buffaloes; plans are now arranged by means
of which a collection of bears wil/ be
placed in.a corral in some central lo
hotel managed  by  the C.  P.  R.   Ry.
[Mount Stephen   House].     Two miles
beyond    Figld,    very    lofty   Glacier-
bparing heights are seen at the north.
The^liue  follows  the  Kicking  Horse,
whose narrow va'ley divides the Otter-
tail  and "VanHorne   ranges.      Mount
Goodsir [11663 feet],' the highest of the
Ottertail group, is seen from Ottertail
creek.    Palliser; the canyon  rapidly
deepens unl|l,   beyond Palliser,   the
mountain sides, becomes  vertical,  rising straight up-thousands of feet, in a
bronze wail crested by a long, line of-
unnamed  peaks, and  within  an easy
stone's   throw   from   wall   to   wall.
Down this yast chasm goes the railway
and  the river together,  the   former
crossing from side to side to ledges cut
out of so'id rock,  and twisting   and
turning in every direction,  and  every
minute or two plunging through  projecting angles of rock   which, seem  to
close the way.      With the towering
cliffs almost shutting out the sunlight
and  the roar of the river   and   the
train increasing an   hundred  fold   by
the echoing walls, the passage of this
terrible gorge-will never be forgotten,
hy Seward       Bear Creek;     a little-
way-up Beaver   river   the   railroad
crosses .to  th§    right   bank,    where,
uotphed  into the mountain   side,   it
rises at the rate of 116 feet to the mile,
and the river is soon left a thousand
belovv.     From Six Mile Creek station
one gees ahead, up the -Beaver valley,
a long line of higb  peaks of the Selkirk Mountains, culminating in an exceedingly   lofty  "pinnacle,   named   Sir^
Donald [10808  feet].    Glacier'House;
the  station..and hotel are within 30
minutes walk of ths IUecillewalt Glacier, from which, at the left, Sir Donald rises a naked and abrupt pyramid,
to a height of li mih^s above  the  rail"
road, continuing the cfesgent from,  the
Glacier Huiige or station, and following the mountain side, tha loop is soon
reached, where, the line makes several startling1 turns  and   twists,   first
crossing a valley leading down   from
tbe Mount Boring Glacier,  touching
fOr a moment on  the base of   Ross
peak, then doubling back to the  right
a, mile or more upon itself to within a
stone's toss;   then sweeping around   to
the right,   touching   Courgar Mount
on the other side of the IUecillewalt,
crossing again to the left, and at last
shooting down the valley parallel with
its former course.      Albert  Canyon.
Just east of tbe station the train  runs
suddenly along the very brink of several remarkable deep fissures  in  the
solid rock, whose walls  rise straight
up hundreds of feet oo  both sides, to
wooded [jack pine and  sprucfc] crags),
above which sharp  distant  peaks  cut
the sky.    North Bend is  a divisional
point, ten miles below North  Bend  is
Hell Gate,  near  which a  projecting
narrow rock is called Lady Duff,erin's
Walk]     The railroad is cut into  the
cliffs 20-> feet or  more aboy.e i*,nd   the
