a serious offense there is both wisdom and justice in the sentence the crime the man was found guilty of isone or which the law provides the severest terms of imprisonment major brunton might have sentenced him to prison for a long term of years instead of that he has chosen to impose a nominal prison sentence and try the effect of the lash his decision is to be com- jmended it is safe to say that a more general adop tion by magistrates of a policy of shorter terms and more lashes would reduce auch crimes as those of which this man has been guilty let criirtina3 ortce know that all crimes of violence of which- they are convicted will be visited with physical pain upon hemselves and such offenses will speedily diminish a few year experience would we believe justify the wisdom of such

albertn and have seen some thing of the majesty and the gloi y that is theirs many have gone back to set down in books what they could of their impressions and na far aa their words could to conjure up vis ions of canadas rockies before tho oyea of their readers thus thero ex- lhts a literature of the canadian rockies it srew slowly and has onlj of very recent years begun to assume any worldwide importance but qb thero has spread a more general rec ognition of their place among tho worlds scenic wonders the number of writers who have made pilgrimages to their countless vast shrines hah steadily increased if we exclude tales of pioneers untl explorers who were tho first to wend their way through tho vnlleys and passes that led to the pacific coast we shall find that one of tho ear 11 oh t of tho worlds recognized writers to fall andcr their spell was morley bobcrts who in 1884 or 188g drifted that way in tho course of an almost tramphko journey across western america since then tho world ha recognized morley roberts as one of its finer crafxamen at that time he worked with axe and shovel on the titanic task of pushing the steel of the c p r through the mountains on its way to tho pacific the western avernus is a book in which he told the story of his wanderings and something of life in c p r construction camps through his eye wc can see the rockies as ho saw them when

whole heartedly eyes of ji gypsy is its title and its best scenes are laid in tho clouds where everlasting glaciers give place on the rocky slopes to strag- glnfr forests it is a tale of human
