McCann, real estate agent, who recently returned from 'Californip,'} where hé attended the 1.0.F. supreme grand lodge convention, has, on re interesting account of his travels: "We deft Kingston on April 21st, stopped 'a day in Toronto, and left with a party of 180 by a special train, consisting of seven Pullmans, on the C.P.R., arriving in Chicago on the morning of the 23cd. "We spent a day in that city, leav- ing that evening by the Santa Fe route, with four additional coaches and 100 passengers, making the party in all 230, one-third of. whom were ladies." Our traftr being a special, we stopped only at the principal cities or places of interest along the route; ourd meals were served comfortably at the: various depots, the party heing ad: mirably catered to by the Harvey brothers, since the diner could * not] accommodate so large a number. We had opportunities of seeing Kansas City, Newton and Dodge City, and at Les Vegas and Albuquerque, in New Mexico, Indians displayed an interest ing variety of bead and basket work at reasonable prices. The quaint, cos- tumes, picturesque surroundings aad exquisite linen needlework of the na- tives ved very attiactive. Ow to its high attitude, Les Vegas is a noted health resort, and the sanitarinm there is resorted to with manifest benefit, by people. of wedk lungs. It is a quaint old place, ha anhitecture of 4he ; station hotel public building being ald Mexican style, Jow and i nt resemb- ling clay, which gi a) pleasing effect. 3 "Arizona proved rather a monoton: ous part of the jevrpey, owing tc . cessive heat, and an Sa Rude of roe " tler being vefy my count of red a th ® ran with wih el hot ve Bach: od Ban no, and foupd . our selves wel ic de- phtation of Forests the | court, who Bi ic a great Jrodigality of music and on or to mw t flowers g we did ; Jos Angeles on the following red af os Am glad to re alize that the most disagreeable part of our jourhey was over; our on- ly serious mishap having been that' ane trick" of the fear car was at one time switched completely off the track, causing grave alarm to a number of passengers who happened to be on it, The car was disabled but no one suf- fered more than a passing fright.

It' Rho, gol fortune te see the i Fiesta,' which eongisted of a procession of floral carrigges, engines and all conceivable vehicles completely covered with cut flowers 'of every olor and variety, taking at least an hour to pass a given point.

The govermment hmildings are = very fine, built of white stone and very much like our dominion buildings. The navy yards and training ships em- ploy a number of men, and they are about all that trade has to depend, on with exception of the coal mines, which are not far distant. Victoria is more of an English town than. aby other place I have seen; it is an ideal and healthy place to. reside in, there being very little cold weather. Here we met. John rane, a prosperous druggist, and Mr. Newlands, in the ewploy. of the railway company, both Kingstonians. 4 "Vancouver was reached by a very t sail of twelve hours across the straits of Georgia, in view of the smow-capped mountains. There are a number of Kingstonians Among whom' we. met: Th s Evans, a members of the firm of Evans & Has- tings, printers. They have a fine - ¢s- tablishment and are doing a good business. Mv.. Evans was very kind, driving we through the fine' park ecv- ering. mine miles; then out to New Westminster - and return through a beautiful road lined on either side by thick: forests. We passed many farms where the Chinese were working; in fact the celestials do most of the farming and market-gardening here ; they are also. extensively employed in the salmon cannery, chief indus- try of British Columbin. Lumbering is also gn important industry, the trees being an enormous sige, some forty feet in circumference. "We had the pleasure if seeing through the "Empress of India,' ome of the C. P.

P. R. The snowy mountain called 'Grizaly" is also seen here. The great Glacier is a mile and a half from the station, and one had to remain over until the next day' in ordér-to see it. The hotel ac- commiodation here provided by the C. P.R. is first class, and would be a very agreeable stopping place at mid- summer, "Ihe road from here east became very interesting.

There is also a large seniterimn amd. hospital, which is largely patronized the whole year © on acount of the benefi- cial effect of the sukpbur sprigs. A delay of two days was necessary here, owing to a wash-out on the railroad, east of Banfi. The slept in the cars amd were kept at. the com- pany's hotel and expense during the delay, thus affording them an extra time to enjoy the charms of the beau: tifal place. "The next place of any importance at which we stopped was Calgary, surrounded by a picturesque, rambling country. The flat prairie lands which we passed through between here and Brandon were in striking contrast to the Rocky mountains which we bad just left, with vast fields of level land as far-as the eye could reach, with sigus of cultivation; yet no house vis- ible for miles at a stretch. "From Brandon to Winnipeg the land gets gradually lower, and owing to the excessive rain that has been falling for' the past two weeks, the ground is very much flooded, prevent- | ing farmers from sowing wheat this spring; in some places dwellings are surrounded by water and abandoned. "Winnipeg is growing very rapidly. City property has increased twenty- five per cent. in the last year, and many property owners are holding on in anticipation , of a further ¥ise Streets sre opening up in all direc: tions, and a large number of build- ings are in course of conglruction. "Farm lands in Manitobg and the territories ave also in good demand and are sure lo increase in value in the near future. The Winnipeg hotels are filled with people going west to take up farms, and business appears to be generally Next to Seat tle there is more activity in real es tate here than 1 Bave noticed in any other place on the trip. "Leaving Winnipeg at four in the afternoon, we, arrived at Fort William next morning, The ran wae very in- teresting and picturesque, passing through the Lake-of-the-Woods dis- trict, there being numerous pretty lakes surrounded by high rocks. At Keewatin, four miles west of Rat Portage, there is said to be the great- est water power in the worla. "Rat Portage is the- principal out- let, of the Lake-of-the-Woods, and is the key to the great gold fields now being developed in its immediate vi- ginity, ana in the Rainy ake and Seine river to the south. "At Fort William we took the 8S. Manitoba, of the C.P.R. line, which was due to leave that morning, but was delayed several hours while tak- ing on a load of flour. It was that the C.P.R, shops were first loca- ted afterwards being removed to Fort William. There has been a large saw mill erected at Port Arthur by an American firm, who are now building some forty dwellings for their em- ployees, The sail down lake Superior on the palatial steamer Manitoba was most enjoyable, and an agreéable change from the rail. The run to Sault Ste. Marie was made in twen- ty-three hours, and from there to Owen Sound in twenty-one hours. The sixty odd passengers were sorry to Jeave the boat, as everythin was done by the courteous. officials for our comfort. A special C.P.R. train was awaiting the arrival of the boat to convey us to Toronto. "Returning to the old limestone city, which was decked in ita green foliage, we thought it looked more beautiful than ever. It is very inter- esting to visit distant lands, but we were glad to return to Kingston, where for scenery, churches, educa tional and other advantages, she bas few rivals. We met many tourists who had travelled extensively = anc who admitted that the scenery of the St. Lawrence river sncpassed. all others, and all that is wanted to bring a large number of tourists here is a first-class summer hotel, and this, ] trust, will soon be built, which would make Kingston an ideal sum mer resort."
